you believe they could be.
f Sparked by a pair of succes

night, and went back to Chapel
Hill with a 71-3 victory.

Washkansky Develops Pneumonia
CAPE TOWN, South Africa Louis Washkansky, medical
history's first successful heart transplant patient, fcas developed
pneumonia in both lungs, it was disclosed Saturday night.
Dr. Christian Barnard, who led the historic operation to give
Washkansky the heart of a dead woman Dec. 3 said, however, he
was confident he could bring the infection under control within 24
hours.
The Sunday Express newspaper quoted Barnard as saying he
get the diagnosis late Saturday dfterfioont" ''k-
"This trouble started early today Saturday," Barnard said. .
"Mr. Washkansky did not feel well. His white cell blood count
went up. He complained of pains in his chest and coughed up
sputum.
Fighting Reported In Algeria
ALGIERS Fighting was reported Saturday near two towns
outside Algiers but President Houari Boumedierme restored com
munications with the outside world and contended his Soviet-,
equipped army had crushed a1 revolt.
Travelers arriving in Algiers from the interior reported
fighting near the towns of BlicSa -and El Affroun, south of the ci
ty. In Rabat, capital of neighboring Morroco, newspapers reported
24 persons had been arrested in the attempted overthrow of
Boumedienne's strong-man government. But they said no con
firmation of the arrests had! been received.
90th Congress Called 'Productive9
WASHINGTON The White House Saturday termed the now
departed first session of the 90th Congress "productive," but
assigned President Johnson's anticrime and tax proposals top
priority for action when the legislators returned Jan. 15.
'While House Democratic leaders pictured 1967 legislative ac-'
complishments in glowing terms, the President's chief
lieutenants on Capitol Hill were more realistic about the ad
miciistration's frustrations in dealing with a balky, restless
Congress this year.
Monsoon Break Permits Air Raids
SAIGON A "puzzling" break in monsoon weather bathed
vital North Vietnamese bridges in sunlight Saturday and
American bombers swept into the I lanoi-Haiphong power center
on the third consecutive day of an intense blitz.
Air war commanders at Saigon headquarters said the preholi
day truce attacks were designed to "catch up" with repairs car
ried out by North Vietnamese and Chinese construction gangs
who rebuilt during a month of rain that grounded most American
raiders.
McNamara Hits 'Mad' Arms Race
WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, in a
secret farewell report to NATO, has urged an end to the "mad
race" in nuclear arms and a more rational approach to war.
McNamara's report was read for him by his deputy, Paul H.
Nitze, at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ministeriai
meetings in Brussels this past week. McNamara, soon to head
the World Bank, stayed behind to work on the budget.
It was a parting summary by McNamara of many of his long
held beliefs on war and the Atlantic -alliance's future.
It restated the doctrine of "flexible" response which
McNamara has long urged, which NATO has increasingly
adopted, and which was formally incorporated in a NATO
military strategy paper at Brussels.
Constantine Stalls About Return
ATHENS The Greek military regime Saturday invited King
Constantine to return to the throne he left during the collapse of
hia armed coup attempt Wednesday.
In Rome, the King stalled and, it was believed, sent back his
reply with two distinguished mediators who spent hours talking
with him at the request of the ruling colonels".

The announcement was
made in a report by Provost C.

six months of progress since
receiving a $4,935,000 grant
from (he National Science
Foundation last May.
The grant was earmarked
for use to improve the selected
science programs of the'
University. s . .

: the hiring of new faculty mem- -bers

already begun, much earlier
than originally expected.
"Instead of waiting until 1972
to have the increased number
of new faculty and equipment
to establish a center of ex
cellence 5n sciences," Dr. Tex-
toris said, "we are able to pro
ceed more rapidly to do it
now."
The new faculty members
will join the science staffs here
next year.

play.
The deluge, which included
a sUing of fourteen straight
points, led by Miller's seven
points and Scott's five. Miller
finished with a game high of
23 while Scott followed with
seventeen.
Clark's contribution was sig
nificant also, especially defen
sively. He scored sixteen
points and grabbed seven re
bounds while his opposite num
ber, Chris Thomforde, counter
ed thirteen points but only four
rebounds.
The Tigers best was John
Hummer who led with seven
teen points and nine rebounds.
Credit this one to the Tar
Heels defense, which over the
forty minutes of play bettered
the Tigers in what they like to
think they do best.
Princeton could attempt only
fifty-four shots from the floor,
ten less than North Carolina,
and they made 23, five less.
"Two fine defensive teams
went against each other to
night," said UNC coach Dean
Smith afterwards. "It was our
best defensive game of the
year, although we weren't quite
as sharp overall as we were
Tuesday night against Ken
tucky." The Tar Heels clipped Ken
tucky 84-77 at this same coli
seum. Their record is now
4-1, like Princeton's, which was
ranked seventh, one notch
ahead of Carolina in this
week's United Press Interna
tional PolL
"I wouldn't recommend what
we had to do this week to any
coach,' said the elated Smith.
Three Top Ten teams in a
row is quite an assignment."
The first of the trio was Van
derbilt, which is responsible
for Carolina's only defeat, E3
7S. The Tar Heels had their
troubles in the first half, even
though they came out with a
30-27 advantage.
Down by three at 20-17 with
6:31 to go, they spurted to a
30-24 advantage with Clark's
five points. Miller's four and
Scott's two while only Hummer
could scratch for the Tigers.
Carolina was responsible for
13 of their 23 turnovers in the
first half. Sloppy play and
poor offensive rebounding re
sulted in one period of 4:33
and another of 3:02 when the
Tar Heels didn't score.
The second half was a dif
ferent story.
It didn't look that way at
first, especially when Prince
ton, in a spurt by Hummer's
six points and Haarlow's four,
took a 40-35 advantage.
Then it was Carolina's turn
in this back-and-forth contest.
Scott, who scored 17 points in
a fine second half, outscored
Princeton six-one to cause a
41-41
play.

Tfcomf-
srde picked up

minutes later, each team had
registered only two more

Tigers were forced to make the
charge that may have made
the difference for Carolina.
Princeton switched defenses
from a very adequate man-toman
to a penetrable zone.
Haarlow gave the Tigers a
47-43 advantage that was their
last advantage cf the game.
Clark's foul shot at 7:52 tied
the score. Scott then cleared
the defensive boards and drove

was fouled by Geoff Petrie and
the lead was three points.
Miller duplicated Scott's of
fensive feat to up the margin
to six.
While the Tar Heels were at
their best, the Tigers managed
to be at their worst.
Not only were they outscor

By WYANE HURDER
of the Daily Tar Heel Staff
Two meetings between Chan
cellor J. Carlyle Sitterson and'
students in King Residence
College over the past couple of
weeks have proved eye opening
to both sides, according to
participants in the
discussion.
"They were very useful,"
Sitterson commented. "They
gave me an opportunity to
hear from students what was
on their minds.''
For the total of about 80
students who attended, the
meetings were a chance to
hear "about a lot of problems ,
in his office which students
don't realize," according to
Student Body Vice President
Jed Dietz, who helped promote
the discussions.
The first meeting, at Grimes
on Dec. 5, was attended by 50"
students, and the second was
last Wednesday in Mangum
with about 30 students attending.
The second one had fewer
people, "but it was the more
enlightening," according to one
student, Larry Boyer, with
''the chancellor constantly
answering questions," he"
said.'-'7-; vr
"The chancellor seemed very
open to hear whatever we
wanted to talk about," Boyer
said.
The discussion ranged from
the powers of the Board of
Trustees to little things like
walking across the grass on
the campus, according to Len
Tubbs, governor of King
Residence College.
- The chancellor, "didn't know
about some of the problems"
such as shower regulators, ac
cording to another person at
the meeting, Joe Cowan, "but
he seemed concerned about it"
and even took notes, Cowan
added.
Sitterson explained that
"sometimes you can get
removed from things" in his

- By United Press International
ICHARLESTON, W. ' Va.
This is the time of the year of
the crass and cynical, the scof
fers and disbelievers who seem
to get a kick out of sneering
'there ain't no Santa Claus,"
If you're within earshot of
one of those skeptics spreading
such gossip, look tan right in
the eye and tell him he's
wrong. If he wants to argue,
send him to the "West Virginia
Supreme Court, whose dusty
records will reveal the 1925 Ex
Parte Santa Claus decision.
The author of the 1,000-word
tribute to St. Nick was the late
Judge John H. Hatcher. He
called it an un-judical
judgment" and although &
may not have been official in
the strictest sense of theword,
the other four jurists on the
court concurred and it has
never been challenged.
-; After tracing Santa in his
various traditions around the
world, Hatcher warned he
would enjoin the "misguided
realists" who would not heed
the court's word. Then he
declared: r -
"Let the legislatures outlaw,
the law of evolution, if they
must; let the constitution be
amended tfil it looks like a pat
chwork quilt; but rob not
childhood of its most intriguing
mystery Santa Claus.
Let him be to succeeding
generations as he has been to
us ... a joyous faith of
childhood, a pleasant in
dulgence of parenthood, and a
happy memory of old age."
In a concurring note, Judge
Homer B. Woods added:
"The profane hand of the
iconoclast, who would interfere
(with Santa), wSl be stayed by
this court. 1 would oat have
trusting hearts lose the spirit
voiced by Dickens Tiny Tim
at the Cratchits Christmas
dinner God bless us every
one.'"
Hatcher, descrled by some
who remember his love for
Christmas got bogged down in
a history lesson while tracing
Santa from St. Nicholas
through Xhe dutch "Sant
Nkholaas" to our present
American Santa.
"But what know our little
ones of history? Hatcher pen
ned. They believe in the ac
tual physical existence of San
ta Claus the Santa Claus of
their parents and
grandparents!
"They thrill at the story oft
told, of the jolly old man who
labors so diligently throughout
the year at his home in the
North Pole, who on the night
before Christmas, clothed in
garmets of fur, piles high his
sleigh 'ivith gifts and drawn by
marvelous reindeer which are
swifter than the albatross, en
compasses our sphere in one
wild ride, and yet pauses long
enough at each home to leave
his presents for the good
children.
In this kindly gentleman is
no harm, and no guile ex
cept perhaps in his manner cf
entering houses by way of the
chimneys. The verz thought of
him inspires attendance at
Sunday School, and good
behavior generally for a few
weeks before the yuleiide. Ke
suits 4he childrecs'
Hatcher wrote.
But Hatcher said there were
and are those who feel Santa is
too old-fashioned" and should
use an automobile or airplane
in place of his sleigh and
reindeer.
"They also insist that he
should have a pass key, and
enter in the usual way. In
short, they would modernize
him until he would just be like
a typical foxy-grandpa, out for
a joyride!"
"But worse man the
reformers even are those who
would abolish Santa Claus
altogether. I am glad their
cirnher is few. I warn them to
stay out of this court.
"And why, forsooth, would
fancy," they do this unkindly deed
Because they are literal
minded. They will have none c
make believe. They deman
proof of everything.
"Proof! Why, what vei
small child is there among U
millions of children but wi
will state most positively th
ou the night before Christm;
he has heard or thought 1 ;
heard, or, well, almost hear
the sharp crack of the driver
