North Vietnamese troops who swooped down from the lulls and occupied the camp for hours withdrew from Lang' Vei shortly before noon under heavy artillery firing from the Khe Sanh Marine bastion five miles to the north. U.

Koreans Protest PANMUNJOM American troops , Wednesday were forced to fire warning shots to block an attempted march on this truce village by about 500 South Koreans protesting secret talks between the United States and North Korea on the Communist seizure of the USS Pueblo and its 83 men. Reliable U. S. sources said the diplomatic efforts here to gain the release of the men and ship will continue despite objections from the South Korean government, public and press. The attempted march by the demonstrators, mostly teenaged girls, took place about three hours before an open meeting of the Military Armistice Commission at which the Pueblo, was not even mentioned. A South Korean representative sat in on the talks which lasted about 30 minutes and were devoted to United Na tions Command and North Korean charges and countercharges of truce violations. Anti-Crime Proposal Involves LSD WASHINGTON President Johnson asked Congress Wednes day to enact a law cracking down on LSD peddlers and other drug traffickers" as part of a broadside legislative attack on crime.. He also urged Senate action on a house-passed bill making it a federal crime to cross state lines to incite or organize a riot. To combat the mushrooming menace of narcotics addiction, particularly amoung the young, the President asked: Legislation to make the illicit manufacture, sale and distribution of LSD and similar dangerous drugs a felony punishable by penitentiary sentences. More possession would be made a misdemeanor. King Plans Washington 'Camp-In7 WASIHNGTON The Rev. Martin Luther King said Wed nesday 3,000 poor people of all races will camp in the nation's capital from early April until Congress enacts legislation guaranteeing "decent jobs for all employable Americans" and a living income for those unable to work. He said the camp-in will begin with one or two weeks of "traditional demonstrations." But if Congress fails to respond to that kind of peaceful appeal, he said, it may be necessary to "escalate to disruptive protests." njj Y$ -n problem now," said Cansler, "but we must be prepared ahead of time. We don't want to get caught in a red hot situation with the public hue and cry and have no policy." Cansler said, "the illicit and improper use of drugs can not be tolerated by the Universi ty." "We can't let this university become an asylum for drug shortly before 2 a.m. because she felt she was smothering. A man had his hand over her mouth, and was lying beside her on her bed.

Cansler said North Carolina has the strictest laws, regarding drug use of any of the 50 states and that the laws concerning aiding and abetting drug users are also strict. "If a student knows someone is using drugs and does not turn him in, that student could conceivably be tried as an ac cessory." said Cansler. room. He Was not seen by anyone , except these two girls. Joyner's housemother, Mrs. Nelly Carrington, said that she had no idea how he had gotten into the dormitory. "The doors were checked at closing hours and all of them were found to be locked," she said. "It is our assumption that he entered the dorm before the end doors were closed at 7 p.m., and hid in the base ment." The man was described in police 'reports as "a white male, 24 to 25 years old, 5-feet, " II- inches to six -feet tall," of - slender build with rounded shoulders. "He had dark closest hair and was wearing a white short sleeved shirt 'and dark tight-fitting pants." Chief Blake said the intruder had probably hidden himself in the luggage room of the base ment before the doors were locked. The room the intruder en tered is near the basement stairs. Both Chapel Hill and campus - police investigated the case.7 Campus police plan to increase protection of women's dormitories immediately, Chief Bynum Riggsbee said Wednesday. , Broughton Wants NC Schools Upgraded; Against Hawkill's Open HoUSUlg Proposal By TODD COHEN " of The Daily Tar Heel Staff "North Carolina most needs an improved education system," Mel Broughton, democratic candidate for governor, said here Wed Broughton Speaks At GM Mil 75 Years of Editorial Freedom CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1963 According to Cansler, drug use is now an honor code of fense and under this code students are required to turn in ether students they find us-? ing drugs. Under the present system, .the administration tries all cases of drug offense. Under the new bill all cases would be tried by a Faculty-Student-Administration . board which would have Dean Cansler presiding over two students and two faculty members. The policy under the new bill would be to treat the first of fense as a medical matter to, be handled by the Student Health Service. The second of fense would be handled as a : disciplinary matter. Cansler said he had discuss ed with State Attorney General , Wade Bruton the feasibility of treating the first offense as a medical matter. "At the present time, we think he'll let us. The state law requires us to report all defini is the tion of "nanituai user problem," he said; "We are hoping that a first offender will not be classified as a habitual user." - Cansler said the first- of fender would be turned in to the infirmary and treated in complete secrecy. "We are still checking to see if we can legally do this, but at thepresent time, it looks like we might be able to," said Cansler.

We? would re quire them to report to the in firmary for consultation. The hard core offenders we will have to handle with disciplinary measures. "The pushers of drugs will be turned into state authorities immediately." ,' When asked about double jeopardy, Cansler replied, "Any person tried and con- victed in federal or local courts of a drug offense ought to come before the University to have his fitness to continue at this institution judged. "The university s h o1 u 1 d always be able to judge the fit- ness of any of its members to continue," he said. nesday.

That's the individual's decision. We are attempting to aid students in their affairs with the draft, in the broadest sense."

Draft counselors are in volved in the work of telling in terested persons a wide variety Farris said he has set up an organization of junior class dorm representatives with at least two representatives in each residence hall. 'These men and women will be available to tell those juniors in the building what the class is doing and to find out from the juniors what thev would like to see the class do," he said. The projects, most of which are small, will be mentioned in stitutions, better public schools, grade schools, and higher education at all levels." - He said he also feels that teachers should be "freed from the burden of clercial responsibilities in order to car ry out their first order of business." Broughton said furfeer that school integration is a problem whdeh can best be handled by local governments. Commenting on other North Carolina problems,. Broughton said he was opposed to the kind of statewide open housing law proposed by Dr. Reginald Hawkins, one of his opponents for the democratic .gubernatorial nomination. - He also said he hoped that there would be 'no new tax es." "But if additional revenue is needed to maintain the present level of state services, tobacco should be considered as a place to get those revenues," he said. Broughtonj former Chairman of the State Highway Com mission said he feels that the way to . accomplish develop ment of the 'state road system is to "first of all attempt to develop a long-range plan. - "We must buy land now," he said. The first steps must be in upgrading the present four lane roads and attempting to connect them with the east west express way, be said. Asked if he thought UNC should follow the University of Virginia in allowing liquor in students' rooms, Broughton replied, "It would not be wise. I am opposed to the change."

Founded February 23. 1S93 V-1A Ki .9 semester but is just now get ting completely organized, Gwyn said. One of the new features of the draft counseling t h i s semester is a dial-a-counselor service. A number persons . can dial in order to get a list of counselors they can get in touch with for advice. The counselors are con tinuing to keep up their draft counselirg service in Y-Court on Mondays and Thursdays. The counselors haven't en - countered -any -problems -wiib -persons opposed to their work, according to a third counselor, Forrest Young, an assistant professor of psychology here. "The tone on campus is a whole heckuva lot less con servative tnan it was a year ago; even less conservative than it was two years ago Another thing which the counselors observed, Young commented, "is that a lot of the students have the attitude, 'this doesn't affect me,' until they face the draft." A lot of counseling has been going on, according to Gwyn, ranging from a perfect case of conscientious objection to a case where someone was about to be drafted and just then fd- ed as a conscientious objector. Even an ROTC student has come to the counselors for help, Gwyn said. Gwyn, an associate professor in the Radio, Television, and Motion Picture Department, is the senior member of the counseling group with nine years experience. Last year he advised 40 to 45 persons. "An amazing number cf peo ple who come for advice," be said, "don't know what they want. They just don't want to go out and kill." "In this situation we have to do a lot of pre-counseling to find out definitely their feel ings." Gwyn emphasized that the counselors can't force their ideas on the counselee but -have to - create a situation where the person answers his own questions. "We can neither legally or morally advise them to resist the draft" or do other such il legal acts he explain ed- The counselors have received most of their training from numerous pamphlets put out on the draft. J Arlo Tatum, director of the Central Committee for Cons cientious Objectors, led a workshop in draft counseling for chaplains and the 14 counselors in November. However, according to Wells, "things are now in a period of flux because of recent changes ' in the draft law." We also cited some of the di rectives from General Lewis Hershey, head of the Selective Service System, as confusirj the draft picture. One big change that has taken place, according to Young, is in getting con scientious obiector stsins. Some recent rulings cf a federal district court have shifted some of the emphasis on making the individual prove he deserves the status to th local board, which now has more responsibility to prove a person doesnt deserve CO status. . i
