United Press International
The South Carolina House voted
Wednesday to table the proposed Equal
Rights Amendment (ERA), effectively
defeating it in that state and virtually
destroying any chance that it can become
a part of the U.S. Constitution in 1975.
North Carolina ERA supporters,
however, won a first round victory in
their fight for its ratification when the
N.C. House Committee on
Constitutional Amendments avoided, by
a 10 to 6 vote, a statewide advisory
referendum.
The 46 to 43 Columbia, S.C. vote,
which came only minutes after a
luncheon break, caught ERA supporters
totally by surprise.
"Some of our key people had not got
back from lunch," said Rep. Jean Toal,
D-Richland, one of the main backers of
ERA. "Most of our key people were in
subcommittees. We were simply caught
short, which is perfectly legal, God damn
it." ' .
Thirty-five of the House's 1 24 members
were not recorded as voting on the
motion by Rep. Robert A. Kohn, R
Charleston. The chamber then voted 56-43 against
reconsidering its vote, clinching the
defeat of ERA in the House.
ERA opponents did not even speak to
the motion. Supporters argued during

GREENSBORO-Chris Kupec, all
ACC quarterback and co-captain of the
UNC football team, filed suit yesterday
in the U.S. Middle District Court,
seeking $200,000 in punitive damages
from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Ku pec's civil action includes a motion
for a preliminary injunction challenging
the ACCs Feb. 13 ruling that he is
ineligible for intercollegiate competition
in 1975. ,
UNC head football coach, Bill
Dooley, told the Daily Tar Heel
Wednesday he is "delighted with the suit
because the ruling is an injustice to
Chris." Kupec and his lawyers were
unavailable for comment.
The suit alleges that the ACC is "an
unlawful conspiracy to restrain
interstate commerce in direct
contravention of the Sherman Antitrust
Act." It interprets scholarship grants as
contracts.
The motion requests a permanent
injunction to restrain the ACC from
"fixing the amount of compensation to

debate that "equal rights under the law is
an idea whose time has come."
"We are not asking for special
privileges, but for simple equality of
rights," said Rep. Carolyn Frederick, D
Greenville. ERA, an amendment which would
abolish any law or legal practice which
discriminates on the basis of sex, has been
on the South Carolina House calendar
for a week. The House Judiciary
Committee considered it for almost two
months.
The Senate Judiciary Committee also
is considering ERA, but chances for
Senate approval were considered highly
unlikely.
The Raleigh vote came following
debate on the referendum proposal by
Rep. Ralph Prestwood, D-Caldwell, and
paved the way for a possible vote next
week on the main proposal to ratify the
27th Amendment, which has been before
the committee since Feb. 11.
However, five members immediately
filed a minority report which they will
attempt to have considered by the full
House on Friday. But since a two-thirds
vote is required before the report can be
adopted, proponents predict the minority
report will be rejected.
In 1973, the House turned down a
similar referendum measure and the
Senate defeated by a narrow 27-23 vote a
proposal to ratify ERA.
and agony.
"1 do hope the efforts we made this year
will help to eliminate the inequities in this
society. I cared, 1 tried and 1 have no
regrets." Williams left the room before Bates
took the oath.
Bates said his first efforts would be
towards appointing an attorney general, a
student body treasurer and 28 jurors of the
undergraduate court.
"We're running open appointments,"
Bates said. "For anyone who's interested,
we'll be glad to have them apply." He said he
expects to appoint most of his staff by next
Wednesday.
Bates said he is also working on setting up
an informal meeting of his proposed student
cabinet. "I think that's very important with
the budget coming up so shortly."
Bates said during his campaign that his
cabinet will be made up of the leaders of
various student organizations on campus.

Kupec charges that this conspiracy is
responsible for loss, of scholarship
money he would have received had he
been allowed to play in 1975.
The suit also states that Kupec might
receive a lower professional salary if he
misses the next collegiate season. The
ACC ruling prevents Kupec from
"increasing his business reputation
through the practice of intercollegiate
football for UNC," the suit charges. The
motion states that, by the ACC hardship
rule, Kupec is eligible to play. The ACC
bylaws define hardship as an injury xr

Alonzo Squires left the University with
"beautiful memories of many beautiful
people" when he resigned yesterday as traffic
regulations advisor for UNC.
His work at UNC, however, has not been
an entirely happy experience for Squires, as
outlined in a letter he sent March 18 to Ted
W. Marvin, director of security services.
In the letter, Squires cited a poor working
relationship he had with some of his co
workers and stated that he was often not
given promptly the information about traffic
policies which would aid him in his work
with appeals cases.
In an interview Tuesday, Squires, who is

Chapel Hill police officers searched a room in Aycock
dormitory late Tuesday night, but left after finding only two
marijuana seeds, according to the room residents.
The officers involved did not have a search warrant, but
were given permission to search the premises by one of the
residents of the second-floor room.
"They told me 1 didn't have to say anything or let them
search the room, but I had nothing to hide so 1 let them," one
resident of the room, who declined to be identified, said
Wednesday.
"1 came back from the library and some of my friends were
in my room, along with several strange guys, and Charlie
Miller (North Campus Men's Residence Director) was
standing outside," he said. . :
"They asked me a few questions they were real polite
and then left. Ten minutes later, they came back and asked if
they could search my room, but after tearing it up, all they
lound were two seeds."

Think lean. Think snug. Think small.

These will be the new operating
assumptions of the United States, Stewart
Udall, former Secretary of the Interior, told
an audience of some 600 people Wednesday
in Hill Hall.
Udall, speaking as part of the Survival:
Symposium, said the U.S. must abandon the
"religion of universal progess" and unlimited
growth that has prevailed since World War
II. "Our operating assumptions are flawed,
and they are leading us down a destructive

Kupec, who saw action only in the
second and third games of the 1973
season, contends that he is eligible since
he was prevented from playing in eight
games.
The suit calls Kupec's loss of
eligibility "invidious, discrimination"
and a "violation of the equal protection
clause of the 14th Amendment." Kupec
claims in the suit that the ACC ruling
violates his right to due process of law
because he was not given "personal

right to counsel" during the decision

station voluntarily following the search and after answering a

Chapel Hill police refused to comment on the matter.
The room's other resident, who also declined to be
identified, was gone at the time of the search but had been
questioned by the police earlier. He said he was taking a
Iriend home who had been "hassled a lot" by the police.

Udall painted a pessimistic picture of the
present energy situation in the United States.
He rejected the idea that the oil crisis is a
hoax, caused by large oil companies.
"The energy crisis is something
permanent. It will dominate your lives. It
will change your lives," he said.
To emphasize the United States' present
energy predicament, Udall quoted figures
showing that the country's present oil
reserves, used at the present rate, will last
only six years.
He also predicted that no major oil fields
or oil sources will be discovered by the large
oil companies to supplement U.S. reserves.
Oil companies promise such new sources
of oil, if they are allowed to keep their profits
to develop these sources, Udall said. "I
wouldn't bet on that, if I were you." he
concluded.

often made on the basis of someone's ego.
Squires was also critical of the University's

United States are few. "There's not much we
can do for the new few years except
conservation eliminating waste," he said.
He urged rapid legislation to curb the
nation's present energy consumption
patterns, including "a year or two" of
gasoline rationing.
He also recommended the use of small
efficient cars.. By eliminating wasteful large
cars, the United States could operate with
the same number of vehicles and use one-half
the total amount of gasoline. This
transformation would take about six years,
he said.

The country must also revamp its wasteful
industrial system and plan energy conserving
cities, he said.
All these improvements will bring changes
in societal values, he said. A slower lifestyle
will change the "rootless" nature of the
nation's society, enabling it's citizens to
better solve personal and social problems,

Sidney M. Hilliard, who has worked
with Florida police for over 30 years,
was named Chapel Hill's new police
chief Wednesday.
Hilliard, a 59-year-old criminal

Florida, will assume office April 28.
Hilliard's selection ended a six-month
search to replace former police chief
William D. Blake who was named
assistant town manager for public safety
last October. Blake has held both
positions since then.
Blake said Wednesday he was very

Capitalism, modern medicine and male
dominated societies were blamed Tuesday
night for the earth's rapidly increasing
population and its inability to support it.
Edgar Chasteen, author of A Case for
Compulsory Birth Control; Michael Carder,
founder of Emerging Population
Alternatives and editor of Concerned
Demography; and Stephanie Mills, director
of Planned Parenthood and author of The
Joy oj Birth Control, debated the topic
"Limiting Population Growth" on the third
night of the Survival Symposium.
Chasteen called overpopulation.
"America's most urgent problem." Medical
science caused the population explosion, he
said by lowering the death rate rapidly while
the birth rate remained stable or dropped
slightly.
"Lot's of people aren't the problem; their
effects on the environment are," Chasteen
said. He blamed the increasing population
for air and water pollution, lack of privacy,
the growing .crime rate, high taxes and
feelings of apathy and alienation among the
masses.

The officers soon left, however, and the Aycock resident
then took his friend home. When he got back to his room, it
had already been searched and his roommate was downtown.
Miller said Wednesday that no campus police were
involved in the search. "No one had any prior knowledge of
the search," he said.
"The police were at no time huffy or abrupt, and they went
and got the RA (Residence Advisor) before going upstairs."
Miller said.
However, Howard Madrick, Aycock dorm president, said
no. one from the dorm or University residence staff was
originally at the scene.
"I was in the room when the cops came." Madrick said.
"They knocked on the door, but didn't come in when we
answered. Then when we opened the door, they just came
right in."
Another Aycock resident, who refused to be identified,
said the police "acted like a bunch of gorillas and used arm
twisting tactics."

"The time will come when we think
unlimited parenthood is as barbaric as we
now think infanticide was. Chasteen said.
As a solution to over-population,
Chasteen urged making contraceptives
freely available, legalizing abortion,
spending $10 billion for birth control
research and eventually legally limiting
families to a maximum of two children.
"We must come to recognize parenthood
as a privilege," he said.
Carder contended, however, there is no
population problem. "We aren't running out
of space, we aren't running out of resources
and we aren't breeding people faster than
lood. The world can easily produce sufficient
food to feed a doubled population."
He blamed the scarcity of resources on
developed nations who waste them on war,
space exploration and modern
transportation.
"Most resources are renewable," Carder
said. "Substitutes can be found for the non
renewable ones."
Mills suggested using a small-scale,
individual approach to world population
limitation.
She offered three changes which would
enable people to make intelligent decisions
about reproduction.
