"77its rally is approximately 80 miles in
length. It is a low-key event to promote
accuracy and safety in our higway driving.
The entire rally should take just over three-and-one-half
hours including a 30-minute
rest break. The route is intended to show you
some of the scenic, interesting points of the
area."
So began the general directions for the
UNC Tar Heel Road Rally Sunday. The
weather for the event seemed perfect, as
evidenced by the number of convertibles
lined up at Triangle Porsche-Audi ready to .
start the rally.
The principle of a road rally was explained
to me earlier in the week by Mike Cannon of
the Union Recreation Committee who was
in charge of the rally. He said a rally was not
a speed race, but a contest of skill in driving
over a course and deciphering route
instructions.
"You go from point A to point B in a
certain amount of time. If you get there too
soon you are penalized points and if you get
therejoo late you are penalized points."
THAT DIDN'T sound too difficult, I
thought. How come the 80-mile course that
was supposed to be run in three hours took
me four hours and 90 miles to complete?
I thought I was on course until I couldn't
find the Ebenezer A.M.E. Zion Church the
signal for a speed change according to the
route instructions. I continued until 1 was in
Wake County (the course was designed to
run through Chatham County).
After backtracking for approximately 25
miles, I saw a green MG with a big number
30 on its windshield. Ah, another rallier," I
thought. Til just follow him." A classic case
of the blind leading the blind.
We stopped at the Apex police station for
directions. The man behind the station desk
couldn't help us, but at least we weren't
alone. He told us another guy had been in
before asking for the same directions.
While at the station, I met the two people 1
would be following.the rest of the afternoon.
The driver of the MG was Al King from
UNC-Wilmington and his
girlfriend navigator Misty Hear in, a junior
at UNC.
WELL, what should we do now?" King
asked, studyign his route instructions.
After driving through Apex, ' down
country roads, down dead end roads, across
medians, through downtown Pittsboro and
ffter being chased by a dog, we called it
quits. We didn't make it to any of the check
points.
The penalty for being early or late was one
point for each hundredths of a minute and
the penalty for missing a checkpoint was 750.
We scored 2,250 penalty points. Cannon told
me the winner had 29 points.

When the UNC Tar Heels defeated the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Saturday afternoon, a
group of approximately 40 UNC students on a field trip raced out of a motel in Gettysburg, Penn.,
ran across the highway to the sight of the Civil War battle, jumped two split rail fences, crossed
two stone walls, and charged to the top of Cemetery Ridge at approximately the same position
where a North Carolina regiment of Confederate soldiers had crashed into the Union lines on Jul v
3, 1863. .
The field trip was organized by UNC history professor James Leutze.A group of 92 students,
faculty members and friends were on the weekend tour of Civil War battlegrounds at Manasses'
Harpers Ferry, Antietam and Gettysburg.
On the hill where the UNC group celebrated is a large statue portraying General George
Meade, the Union commander at the battle, mounted on horseback.
Sunday morning the statue was decked with toilet paper. -
The UNC group was appalled that anyone would do such a thing and volunteered to help the
National Park Service remove the litter.
Two of the members of the UNC group had mud on their shoes and three rolls of toilet paper
were missing from motel rooms where the group was staying. Of course, this was just
coincidental.
After celebrating on the battle grounds, the group decided that the Confederacy had won this
second charge of Cemetery Ridge and sent a telegram to the team saying: "Confederates in
Gettysburg celebrating this time. Go Heels."

celebrate culture, friendship

may have known Chambers, under the alias
of George Crosley, in 1934. Hiss said he took
- Crosley and his family into his home for a
few days but had not seen him since that
time.
When H iss was asked about his hobbies so
that the committee could corroborate
Chambers testimony, he included
ornithology. Without being asked by
HUAC, Hiss said he once had seen a
prothonotary warbler on the banks of the
Potomac River.
At the prodding of freshman
Congressman Richard M. Nixon, a member
of H UAC, Chambers and Hiss were brought
together for the first time during the course
of the testimony. Hiss said he was prepared
to identify Chambers as the man he had
known as Crosley. He continued to insist
that he had had only a passing acquaintance
with Chambers (Crosley) and had never
turned over any documents to him.
Hiss filed a $75,000 libel suit when
Chambers made his charges over the radio.
Chambers then produced 43 typewritten
documents and four handwritten
memoranda that he claimed Hiss had passed
on to him. The documents, Chambers
claimed and FBI analysis later questionably
proved, were either typed on Hiss's wife's
typewriter or written in his handwriting.
In the most bizarre incident of the HUAC
testimony, Chambers led two HUAC
investigators to his Maryland farm. He
retrieved three rolls of microfilm from a
hollowed-out pumpkin. The microfilm
yielded a three-foot stack of classified
documents that Chambers said Hiss had
given him.
On Dec. 15, 1948, a New York grand jury
indicted H iss on two counts of perjury for his
statements that he had not passed on secret
documents and had not seen Chambers after
Jan. 1, 1937.

With so many exciting rhythms going on in today's music, your need
to listen through a true high fidelity sound system was never greater.
The problem is, that when you go into audio stores to learn about hi
fi, very often you come out with the feeling that you've just attended
a lecture on some bizarre new language. Ohms. . .Hertz. . .phase lock
loop. . .rumble. . .frequency response. . .the list seems endless
Well, at Dixie, this will never happen.
We realize that you'll never feel certain about your choice of sound
equipment, unless someone takes the time to explain in simple English,
the basics of hi fi component systems. We make sure that each of our
salesmen can discuss hi fi in language which avoids confusing technical
terminology. And we've also developed our own 64 page Buyer's
Guide, which carefully defines any hi fi term you'll need to know.
This little book also lets you make straightforward, factual compari
sons between hundreds of components fron Kenwood, BIC, Teac,
Sansui, Pioneer, Marantz, KLH, Jensen Technics, etc.
We've developed this no nonsense approach for a very good reason -it
makes it a lot easier for you to get into hi fi. You see, with 27 Dixie
stores that have the lowest prices on audio components in America,
we figure that the more you know about hi fi, the more likely it is
that you'll buy from us.
So corns to Dixie - we cut through all the nonsense, so you can spend
more time listening to the music.

Hiss could not be charged with espionage
because the statute of limitations on the
crime had run out. But a guilty conviction on
the perjury charges would imply that Hiss
had participated in espionage activities for
the Communists.
The first trial ended in a hung jury, 8 to 4.
Rumors were circulated by anti-Hiss forces
that the judge was a Communist. Harper's
Magazine reports that Nixon allegedly
indicated that members of the hung jury
should be subpoenaed to appear before
HUAC, Nixon joined with others to call for
an investigation of the trial judge for possible
impeachment action.
At the second trial, the testimony ranged
from type styles on typewriters, to oriental
rugs and Model A Fords to the famous
prothonotary warblers. Symbolism replaced
the sharpness of testimony. The trial became
Hiss, as the urbane, respected public servant
against Chambers, the grubby, fat
Communist who had come in from the cold.
Hiss's attorneys could never explain the
fact that the documents were typed on a
typewriter that the defense conceded was
Hiss's.
Nixon would say later that the Woodstock
typewriter was the key "witness" in the case.
The, guilty verdict was delivered, and
Alger Hiss's political career was over.

The tall, thin, red man from Oklahoma
strode to the microphone and began the
invocation in a quiet, dignified manner. The
message contained the usual thoughts:
"Thank you, Lord, for allowing us to gather
here. Let the spirit of brotherhood prevail."
He expressed thanks for the wonderful
country, America, and all her liberties. He
also spoke of a different right: To all the
other freedoms," he said, "Let us add the
freedom of expression of the American
Indian and his friends."
Thus, the Gourd Dance Session of the
Second "Kola" Indian and Hobbiest Pow
Wow began on Saturday afternoon in the
spirit of unity and expression. Designed to
promote better understanding and improved
relations between American Indian tribes
and white Americans, the three-day event
was all inclusive, with arts, crafts, traders,
campers, singing and dancing. Held on the
Raleigh Optimist Club Farm south of
Raleigh, the Pow-Wow was unique in that
whites, as well as Indians, participated in the
festivities.
ON SATURDAY afternoon, however,
the "authentic Indian dancing and singing"
as the Pow-Wow's literature stated, was
controlled much like the Indian nation came
to be by the White Man. There were
Indians, sure singers, dancers and traders
from the Comanche, Cherokee, Ponda,
Oneida and Kickiapoo tribes but the
majority of the faces in the crowd and the
dance were not Indian. They weren't even
suntanned.
Of course, that was the spirit of the
event to join together many cultures in a
celebration "to have a good time," as the
Comanche head singer implored. But it
seemed strangely sad and ironic that the
Pow-Wow itself, with its exhibition of
Indian art and culture, should be thrust into
the consciousness of their conquerors.
It was sad because the word "authentic"
had taken on a different connotation; they
were authentic Indians presented in the
white man's way. Commercialism, rampant

throughout the American system, was not
even the worst of the evils, though I saw
several non-Indians peddling Indian wares.
Far sadder was the fact that it seems
impossible for a culture to be genuinely
authentic within the pervasive atmosphere of
white America, for all the efforts at creating
the genuine Indian culture manifested
themselves like the carnival-come-to-town.
AND THE irony comes into play when
one realizes how thoroughly the Indian was
forced to accept the new culture that sailed
over in wooden ships from Europe; and now,
' the irony is the extent to which the Indian
embraces it while still attempting to hang on
to his own culture. "After the Gourd Dance
initation, we will all shake hands," says the
Comanche. "That is the Indian way of doing
things."
Well, the way of doing things has changed.
Jim Charles, a UNC student who helped
organize the event and served as master of
ceremonies, invited the public to dance to the
music of Ponca Drum "Come as you are.
You don't need a costume." And in the
traditional round dance, not many costumes
were evident; most of the Indians were
dressed like the white dancers blue jeans,
jean jackets and boots, with Indian
trimmings and jewelry.
A few inconsistencies also contributed to
the' mood ..of the afternoon. I became '
skeptical of the authenticity of "Indian Fry
Bread" when I realized that they were
cooking the bread in a deep-fryer, similar to
the kind used by commercial hamburger
establishments .
LIKEWISE", during the singing for the
Gourd Dance, the head singer broke out of
the chant into English verses. He was singing
the blues about whiskey and women who
don't understand;
The most ironic symbol at the Pow-Wow
was not the Americanized attire or the white
traders or the white dancers; it was the
American flag. Instead of dancing under the,
moon as they would Saturday night, or
dancing under the sun on Saturday
afternoon, the dancers celebrated under a
gold-fringe Stars and Stripes mounted on a
straight pine pole. The flag demonstrated the
Indians complete indoctrination into the
jAmerican culture extolling the virtues of
their original lifestyle by dancing under the
symbol of the people who had taken that
freedom away from them.
I suppose I was predisposed to believe that
the Indian would not welcome the white
man's participation in his activities, such as
the kind exhibited at the Pow-Wow
Saturday afternoon. If a horde of foreigners
had raped and pillaged my land as well as my
people and unceremoniously herded me like
cattle into a reservation, I don't believe I
would feel very charitable towards them
afterwards.
However, this feeling contributes to the
beauty of spirit surrounding the Pow
Wow that the Indian does feel benevolent
towards such a culture as ours and, further,
wishes to share his civilization with us in the
spirit of brotherhood. The ravaging of the
Indian country was inevitable; but the
inevitability of the situation does not make it
excusable. I could always understand why
the tall, proud Indian on the environmental
commercials was crying; now I realize that
he probably never has stopped.
