The Carolinian April 26, 1977 The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Volume LVI Number 43 NCSL meets BY BETH HAYES Staff Writer On Saturday, April 23, the North Carolina Student Legislature Interim Council met here at UNC-G for the last time until next September. Colleges throughout North Carolina were represented and many different opinions were expressed. After welcomed by speaker Randy Sides, the delegations got down to business. Reports by officers and other individuals were then given. Lt. Gov. Bruce Border announced that a state-wide study committee would take suggestions and discuss any problems that NCSL members might have during the summer. John Cut, from Duke University, reported on his comments to the North Carolina General Assembly on executive reform and migrant workers. Ott ended his report by saying that on pieces of legislation "NCSL is going to have quite a bit of input this year." Next on the agenda was the consideration of resolutions. Two major resolutions were passed which resounded across the state. The Interim Council endorsed the Equal Rights Amendment and denounced the North Carolina death penalty as "cruel and unusual punishment not worthy of being employed by this state." These two resolutions got AP Continued to page 2 Puterbaugh approved BY WANE NORMAN > Editor A new lounge chair in front of library Preyer commends Carter for courage Congressman Richardson Preyer BY T. Johnson and R. Sides "President Carter is asking the nation to prepare for a crisis that isn't visible yet," said Congressman Richardson Preyer Friday night, speaking to the Young Democrats Club in Greensboro. He noted the energy problems and proposals will be a test for Carter's leadership; a test for Congress; and a test for the nation. He explained. "North Carolina shouldn't be hard to persuade since we had the natural gas crisis this winter." But. he said, the problem for North Carolina will be the price of gas. He pointed out that many people in the state drive cars out of necessity: many people drive from the country to the city to go to work. He commended the president on showing "real courage" in presenting the energy proposals to Congress. Preyer is chairman of the subcommittee of the House Select Committee on Assassinations which is investigating the deaths of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. The work of the committee has been embroiled in controversy because of the large sums of money allocated for the investigation and because of public disagreements between the committee chairman, Rep. Henry Gonzales of Texas, and Richard Sprague, the former chief investigator who recently resigned under fire. But Preyer said, "The past history (of the committee) is past." He intends to start anew. He outlined the King and Kennedy cases: James Earl Ray, explained Preyer, pleaded guilty to killing Martin Luther King, Jr. However, he was not asked to tell about the case after he entered his guilty plea, as is customary, before the guilty plea was accepted by the Judge. After remarks made by the prosecuting attorney implying the guilt of Ray, Ray said: "Your Honor, I do not agree with what was said (by the attorney.)" The Judge did not ask Ray to take the stand at any time, according to Preyer. Several incidences were cited by the Congressman that he said were sufficient to produce second thoughts as to whether Ray acted alone in his assassination. Incidences such as escaping from prison in a bread cart unnoticed; going to Canada and assuming the name "Galt",-a real person who happened to fit Ray's physical description; and got passports-• plural-to travel abroad by knowing several persons' past history; and who told Ray King was going to be on the balcony at the time he was? It seemed to Preyer there was too much chance and coincidence involved for Ray to be acting alone, referring to Ray as "a two-bit hoodlum," (who wouldn't be able to do this alone). Representative Preyer wants public hearings on the Kennedy case. He realizes the question may never be answered, he said, but they will try. The Warren Commission on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, according to Preyer, was fairly complete as far as it went. There was considerable pressure at the time for "quick results",'which he noted may have made the report incomplete in its information. Now deceased Senators Hale Boggs and Richard Russell, members of the original commission, were hesitant to sign the document in its final form because they believed it to be lacking in details. Referring to possible Mafia connections with the Kennedy killing, Preyer said that this was ruled out early in the game and "I don't think that is really an important matter." He did mention that no one in the CIA knew of any plot to kill Kennedy. It has been discovered since the shooting that there may have been in fact more than one plot to assinate the president. Arnold Schlesinger, the Director of the CIA, said that he would have considered such a plot to be of utmost importance " . . if I had known." Preyer was presented an honorary doctorate degree at Davidson College on Friday before he spoke in Greensboro. UNC-G profs race in Boston Marathon Dr. Larry Wilder and Di •Y DAVID MACKENZIE The mass of runners surged forward, stopped abruptly, surfed ahead again, then halted a second David Mackenzie tune After more agonizing delay, the crowd edged slowly ahead at a walking pace The SIM Boston Marathon had begun on an uncertain note as doae to 3.000 runners inched past the starting line in narrow Hayden Lane in Hopkinton. After the long mileage weeks, training in rain and in cold, often braving the taunts of uncomprehending motorists, this was the moment so many had anticipated. (Signing in at Hopkinton was swift arid easy. I merely presented my race number (No. 1426). received earlier in a Reader's Digest Sweepstakes advertisement, and obtained a brown envelope containing a single paper number. I attached this to the front of my running shirt with safety pins and stowed street clothes in a small athletic bag. Then I headed for the athletic fields behind the Hopkinton gym parking lot. Hundreds of runners of various ages and nationalities were lounging in warmup suits. Some were already lossening up with exercises or jogging around the fields, although it was it ill over two hours to race time. A sizeable group of Japanese-some forty in all-were doing collective exercises and jogging. A bit later the Japanese athletes formed a circle with their hands together, did a sort of dance and shouted something in the language (not Banzai!). A group of about fifteen male Germans had flown in from Munich to compete. Runners ware tipping Gatorade or body puch Students approved the Puterbaugh Report on Academic Integrity last week by a vote of 396 to 193. The policy required a two-thirds margin to pass and achieved that margin by three votes. In reaction to the approval of the policy. Dr. Walter Puterbaugh. chairman of the committee that devised the proposal, said that he was very much relieved that after two years of work they (the committee) had something positive to show for it. He feels that the operation is feasible but adds that problems will no doubt surface. He is eager to see it put into operation. "I am especially appreciative not only of the work my fellow committee members, but also of the students in SGA who worked so hard to get it passed by the student Senate and student referendum," said Dr. Puterbaugh in a written statement released to The Carolinian. A number of students were asked to comment on the passage of the committee report and the following is a sample of their opinions. Randy Sides, "I'm encouraged to see a higher rate of voter turn-out. I'm looking forward to attempting the new policy with the sincere hope that it works better than the interim policv." Bill Atkinson: "It's unfortunate that a majority of the students at UNC-G can find neither the time and/or the intellectual involvement required to become involved in the rules and regulations which will govern them during their involvement in the educational process at UNC-G. The numbers of people who voted on this referendum not only shows lack of concern along these lines: but indicates a total lack of involvement in these matters, an attitude which can only mean the death of academic integrity at this university." Jeff Vance: "To be frank. I was hoping that it would fail so that it would be put in as an interim policy while we searched for something better." Rich lnnes: "I think it's a definite improvement over the interim policy. Time will tell whether it was a good decision on the part of the student body to pass it." Renee Littleton: "I approve of the policy and I'm glad it passed." Beth Hayes: "I'm glad to see that better publicity was put out this time and that more students turned out to vote. At least students will get a better deal out of Puterbaugh (Proposal > than the present system." Phil Swink: "I think we needed some sort of honor policy, because we've been hanging in limbo so long. At least this gives the students a chance to be represented on this board. It's kind of a necessary evil."

He spoke before an audience in War Memorial Auditorium Sunday, April 24. The speaker, co-sponsored by Guilford College's Brothers and Sisters in Blackness and UNC-G's Neo Black Society, also conveyed his opinion on the South, factors relating to his writing of Roots his responses to criticism of the novel, and his future plans. In expanding on his statement that blacks were glad the story had been told, Haley discussed the distortion of American history up to the present time through the observance of the role of black people. He said, "If one genuinely, truly wishes to say that he or she had studied American history or knows American history. .. then it is only a fact that one cannot know the history of this country if one does not know the extent of the role in which black people have performed in the history of this country." Haley further related that black people did not become militant or riot in reaction loRoots but were- as attested to in much of his mail-glad that a story of their past had been told. Haley continued by relaying the general concensus of responses from whites concerning Roots. The reoccurring theme in most letters from whites concerned "never knowing or realizing the way things were" and also being made to think of their own ancestry. Haley expressed his opinion on the South and its potential. Haley views the South as having the potential "to rise again, but in a different way", through "blacks and whites getting it together." Haley views interaction as a must for progression Ha stated that the South is one section of the country that illustrates this interaction by the familiarity of people with one another.

The elder Haley decided to return to school for another semester at the same price instead.
