Oansler said at the Student Party meeting Sunday night. Students 'are capable of hav: ing an effect on the state, the Dean said, and the best way to do this is for the students to "take their present roles as students seriously. This must underlie any role in any field" - A student, he said, must not attempt to "change things at the expense of his own study n m WJM GIs Battle Reds House-To-House SAIGON A battalion of 400 Viet Cong attacked two police sta tions in Saigon's southwest suburbs Monday night and an assault in the Chinatown district early Tuesday morning (knocked out a power station in an area, where fierce street (figlhlting raged.

Pueblo Release Reports Denied WASHINGTON The State Department disclosed Monday that talks were continuing with North Korea to seek release of 2ie USS Pueblo and its 83-man crew, but that no solution was in sight.' Thus, it denied Asian reports that the United States and North Korea had agreed on a settlement 'for return of the crew with the stipulation that the Americans concede that the spy ship violated North Korean territorial waters before St was seized 13 days ago. Meanwhile, House GOP leader Gerald Ford, noting statements by Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara that the Pueblo conceivably could have intruded into North Korean waters before its seizure, charged that the ad ministration was getting ready to "confess." Saigon Must Do More-Kennedy WASHINGTON Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said Monday the time has come for the United States to tell the South Vietnamese that it cannot continue to help unless Saigon does more to help itself After events of recent days in South Vietnam, Kennedy said there should be a "serious confrontation" between Washington and Saigon. The Vietnamese should be told that "should they fail to be an ally worthy of our efforts and our lives, we cannot, we will not, continue to be the only people in Vietnam that fully support the present government of South Vietnam," he said. Administration Asks Travel Tax WASHINGTON The administration asked Congress Monday to enact a ''pay before you go" travel tax package that would cost the average American tourist at least $79 more for a $1,000 trip abroad. Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler said that President Johnson wanted to tax American tourists 15 .per cent when they spent more than $7 a day abroad and 30 per cent when their outlays rose above $15 a day. I Proposal Exis ting Councils Residence College Com mission, Men's Honor Court, Women's Honor Court, and Board of Governors would be absorbed into the proposed body. CRC's purpose as expressed in the proposal would be "to promote ' the 'amis and coordinate the activities of the time." Accordingly, he explained, the student's image cast on the state "must be true and the kind that make 'goals possi ble." In order to be effective, he maintained, he hoped to see UNC a school of persons "who come with serious intents to know themselves and the world, and Ito gain facts and wisdom for constructive lives. This consists of work and play." The Dean went on to say that stuaenis would nave more suc cess in alff ectinjg state policy if they were able to dxfferenlsate Ilf Daily dar tjccl World News BRIEFS By United Press International Streamlines Combines Residence College System." The proposal was drafted, by Bob Farris, RCC chairman, and Steve Knowlton, head of the RCC committee that studied the government simplification. Membership of the CRC would consist of "one elected member from each Residence in their goals between "constructive (innovations and irresponsible claims." Efforts to bring about the former, he felt, would meet with greater success. The points suggested by Cansler to guide student at tempts to influence the state were: Take one's role as a stu dent seriously and place it above all other roles. Make the study of pro blems one wants to deal with an important study and offer services individually or col- lectively. tse prepared no nave one's suggestion not be accepted. "A lot of factors' He said, "go in to any decision made in which a lot of people are con cerned." Know realMHeally what the state is like. Cast a true image on the state the kind that make goals possible. In adhering to these guidelines, students could hopefully bring about im provements beneficM to the school 'as well as the state, Oansler Said. The Dean said tremendous amount of strong support for both the residential college system and the experimental college exists." He said that the ex perimental college could have "a radical change for the cur riculum in the general college."

A single coed court with "10 peers selected at random by the Attorney General's office," would have initial jurisdiction over Honor Code and Campus Code offenses. Appeals would go to a Supreme Court composed by six justices appointed by the Student Body President for justices would preside on a rotating basis at lower court trials. . The justice who presided at a case which was subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court would not hear : the Supreme Court trial. Farris anticipated that the main criticism of the proposal will be directed against CRC's elimination of a large number of people presently participat ing in Student Government. These people's energies would be rechanneled into the resi dence college systems, Farris said. Since the establishment of CRC would be a constitutional change, it would have to be passed in a student body referendum. Farris hopes that it could be put to the students for a vote in the spring elec tions if Student Legislature ap proves. - CRC would legislate all men's and women's rules. These rules would apply r to students v- living in University housing only.

David Wilborn, a graduate counselor for Connor, drew up the petition, which will be presented to Walter Hamilton director of the University Physical Plant. She and Mrs. Graham Ramsay, housemother at Con nor, decided to petition for the road repair recently "after a number of complaints, particularly during the ice and snow," Miss Wilborn said yesterday. "It's been a terrible problem all year," she continued, "one very irate young man came in with a broken axle from the holes in the road." "It's just wretched," com mented Mrs. Ramsay.

Peck, town manager of Chapel Hill, said that he thought the road was under University control, "since it is used mainly by them." "There's always been a con flict whether it was the University's or not," said Hamilton. "We'll be glad to see about raking care of it." He said a road-grader will be sent to the driveway today or tomorrow and. that University officials will "look into paving it." The potion was handed out at ball meetings in Connor last night and Miss Wilborn said she had arranged to circulate it in Winston and Alexander.

Campus policemen armed with revolvers and billy clubs painted Duke-blue barred the only two doors which. were not U.S. prams and called education "the answer to most of our problems." The two programs are the largest source of funds available to the Student Aid Office. Geer said. Last year the office received ?909?825 from the federal government under this pro grams and provided 1,492 students with money to attend college, Geer said. Presently there is only enough money to provide a minimum number of loans, ac cording to Geer. If funds are cut at all the loans and grants will be cut back proportionately. "The University is very much concerned that Congressmen and Senators are aware of the importance of the funds to the University's students," Geer said. He explained that it was im portant for every student financed under these programs to make it known to their Congressmen the importance of the financial help to them. The rumored cut is part of the overall cut in domestic ex penditures resulting from the increased expenditures for the War in Vietnam. New Sorority Must Wait National sororority Gamma Phi Beta had previously hoped to open a new chapter on the Carolina campus this semester, but will not be able to do so. Susan Alexander, president of the Panhellenic Council, said that the national sororority was not financially ready to open up a new chapter. "Gamma Phi Beta will let us know definitely in March if it will be financially able to open a new chapter here this fall," she said. "There are so many girls in terested in joining that there aren't enough sororities to take them," said Miss Alexander. From approximately 6 4 0 girls who rushed in the cam pus's eight sororities this fall, only 230 were able to pledge because of chapter quotas.

Spokesmen for the group then berated abseny ad ministrative officials, until Provost Taylor Cole and Financial Vice President Charles Heustis arrived there and spoke with them. "I respect your opposition," Heustis told the group, "but I think there's a deeper issue at stake here, the issue of whether or not the University is going to be disrupted." Heustis said he would be glad to meet and speak personally c with several members of the group con cerning the university's in volvement with Dowt but would not debate it. Cole told the sitting-in crowd that he would not en tertain their requests for a debate because of the way in which it was presented," by the mass group sitting on the of fice floor. The protestors left shortly thereafter, though, when David Birkhead, a 22-year-old senior from Falls Church, Va., and former editor of the Duke Chronicle, announced he had been given . an appointment with Duke President Douglas M. Knight Wednesday af ternoon. The demonstration Monday was initiated by Duke's Liberal Action 0mmittee, a student group whose ranks were bolstered by UNC-CH students and faculty along with field workers for the Southern Stu dent Organizing Committee (SSCC). Just what was going to hap pen was uncertain up until the time the demonstration oc curred, because of a university ruling recently that "disruptive picketing" would result in suspension of a student from . the university, or the arrest of a non-student on trespassing charges. The definition of "disruptive picketing" was in question. When the protest began, only persons from the Duke student body and faculty were allowed to enter the engineering building. The delegation in cluded three professors, . a campus chaplain, the president of the student body, and graduate and law students. Cole declined to answer the pro up when they informed him that both he and Knight would be defendants in a student staged War Climes Tribunal in April because of Duke's permitting Dow recruiters cn campus and owning the stock. Picketing is expected to resume today, as Dow's representative concludes his recruiting visit. '
