I I II ii & UCV Vi iiVU ii v by Norman Black . Staff Writer A bill has been introduced in the N.C. Senate that would abolish visitation in the dormitory rooms of state-supported universities. The bill was introduced by Sen. Jyles Coggins (D.-Wake). Coggins, also the sponsor of an anti-obscenity bill, said the "publicity and commotion that has come out in recent weeks from some of these schools" prompted him to submit the legislation. "The students and some outsiders are using college dormitories for living together and sleeping together," he said. Coggins said though some college administrators may not object to it, he believes the general public does.. "Most of the General Assembly members I have spoken to agree we need to do something," he said. Presently, the Board of Higher In Washington demonstrations Proiiesfters repel. United Press International WASHINGTON-With Attorney .General John N. Mitchell' watching from 'hi? 6fnce"balc6nyrpoHcr:'miickly"' broke up war protests outside the Justice Department Tuesday , with a brief display ; of tear gas and billy clubs. Some 3,000. militant antiwar demonstrators, apparently - abandoning another attempt to block Washington's commuter traffic as hopeless, rallied their forces in a park and marched eight blocks to the Justice Department. . They had been jammed on the Pennsylvania Avenue and lOst Street sides of the block-square building for three hours, chanting obscenities and demanding an end to the war, when the police moved in and an officer declared oyer a bullhorn: "Clear this area immediately or you are subject to arrest." About 2,000 of the youthful protestors left, leaving behind a knot of about 1,000 who sat down on the pavement, most of them on 10th Street under Mitchell's fifth-floor window,; and With the 'I pipesmoking C Mitchell looking down oh the scene, police then executed a pincer movement, advancing on the protestors from Pennsylvania and Constitution avenues. At least 10 canisters of tear gas were fired and a half-dozen or more officers swung their billy clubs, bloodying several youths. But the violence was quickly over as police began arresting the demonstrators, photographing them and placing them in buses to be taken to jail. The protestors offered very little resistance. Although there- was no concerted effort, to repeat Monday's traffic disrupting tactics Tuesday, there were scattered incidents throughout the city r Education permits daily visitation with members of the opposite sex during prescribed hours on all six campuses of the Consolidated University. Reaction to the bill was immediate on . the UNC campus. Joe Stallings, student body president, feels Sen. Coggins has missed the total ; perspective of what visitation means to this campus." "Visitation on this campus has definitely proved beneficial," Stallings anin and - police had recorded 685 arrests before the Justice Department demonstration. : ,y Nearly three weeks of , protests, iii the city are scheduled to end Wednesday whsn demonstrators have to make one last try to tie up the Capitoll Up until x Tuesday, an estimated 8,500 arrests had been made, 7,000 of them Monday when police and regular Army and Marine units thwarted protesters' plans to shut down the government by keeping federal ' workers from going to their jobs. '- Arrested before the sit4n was John Froines, one of the Chicago Seven defendants, who, like Renhie Davis, had been charged with federal violation of others' civil rights for helping to plan the ' protests. FBI agents took him into custody, after he took the microphone, identified himself and urged the protestors not to abandon their cause. "We cannot turn back from what we have come to do," he said. "We have come f to shut down this government. We have to do it here in the streets ... in order to intensify our struggle against the war." Davis, who was picked up walking down the street Monday afternoon after police and troops had quelled the traffic-disrupting attempt, remained in jail on $25,000 bond. After traffic proceeded almost unhampered Tuesday morning, the Pentagon announced that 10,000 Army troops and Marines called in to back the police had begun withdrawing from the city. I continued. "I only hope I will have the J opportunity to speak with Sen. Coggins to explain this, issue from a student's perspective, for I feel his bill suggests a much higher occurrence of illicit acts than is the case. "All intra-university matters should be handled by the universities involved," Stallings concluded. "The bill reads in full: "No student enrolled in any state-supported educational institution shall visit in the bedroom or other sleeping quarters maintained by or for a student, who is a member of the opposite sex, upon the campus of any - state-supported educational institution. Any violation of the terms of this act shall be grounds for suspension or expulsion. Provided, this act shall not apply to married students visiting in the bedrooms tf their spouses." - The bill has not yet been referred to . committee, and it is impossible to project a date when the bill will reach the floor. ! - - v- ... - -r r - ..." - - I 'j .

Also speaking will be Carl Braden, information director of the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), which is sponsoring Mrs. Collins speaking tour. Mrs. Collins' son, Walter, is serving a five-year prison sentence for refusing to ; be drafted on the grounds that his draft board was all white and that only one of the members : lived in the area that it covered. A white man who refused to be drafted on the same grounds in New Orleans was freed by the court. Mrs. Collins, a leader in the peace and civil rights movements in the South for 30 years, is touring the South this spring to bring the cases of her son and other black youth to the attention of the American people and to expose the double standard of justice in this country.

Staff Writer The Carolina Union Activities Group has scheduled an evaluation session Sunday at 8:30 p.m. to talk about whether they will sponsor Jubilee again in 1972. Solutions to problems which occurred at this year's Jubilee will be discussed to prevent their recurrence in the future. The C arolina Union President, Chuck Patrizia, said such problems included the use of wire cutters to break through the fences, the breaking of a four-foot protective barrier in front of the stage and the theft and destruction of the environmental design done by N.C. State students in the right front corner of Navy Field. Former president Richie Leonard said, "By the end of Friday night, all the new things and frills had been burnt or destroyed. In less than two hours the crowd had systematically demolished the environmental design done by State. By 9 p.m. people had stolen 100 yellow blinking lights, all of the netting, cut most of the tubing and made the whole thing useless." Leonard added that when 200 people broke in the back gate on Saturday afternoon, the" crowd cheered while "a Pinkerton had all the ligaments of his hand torn so that only major surgery can make it work again. He'll be in the hospital about four months." The first aid tent reported that three-fourths of the injuries they treated were cuts resulting from broken glass, despite the ban on glass containers from" the field, Leonard noted. Other problems included innumerable thefts, and the burning of S200 worth of foam rubber purchased for amusement purposes. Leonard noted an attempt to untie the canopy on the main stage was detected just before the Allman Brothers concert. He stressed if the attempt had not been discovered, both the Allman brothers and their equipment could have been severely injured or damaged. .On Saturday afternoon, over 20,000 people were estimated to have been in the crowd, large numbers of whom were not from the University despite the regulations on attendance. "We are convinced that, short of calling out the National Guard, there is no vfzjf of controlling admission to Jubilee," Leonard said. Other problems include where to have Jubilee next year. Part of Navy Field will be astro-turfed and Kenan's field is being fenced off. It is not known whether or hot the Athletic Association or South Building will allow Jubilee to be held on University grounds. On the positive side, Chuck Patrizia noted that most people's reactions to the entertainment at Jubilee have, been favorabb, particularly the reaction to the small sta2. He added that most people went along witli the admissions policy. These problems will all be discussed at the Sunday meeting of the Activities Group. As Patrizia noted, "People enjoyed it; tut a lot of questions right now have been raid Li to whether it's worth the time, hassle and rHcaey to do it. "I'm tired of the whole thing, LecHard added.
