They raided five major U.S. bases in the Saigon area, several 'allied putpasts on the central highlands and the biggest towns in the Mekong Delta rice bowl. In Hue, diehard North Vietnamese regulars battled American Marines and South Vietnamese infantrymen to a near standstill on the 19th day of combat that started on Jan. 29. Casualties on both sides mounted in Hue while the mew out break of fighting erupted over wide areas of 'the countryside and rekindled the battle of Saigon. U.S. and South Vietnamese troops counterattacked quickly in a move to stop the second wave of at tacks before they could gain momentum. . ' Bond Reduced For SNCCs Sellers ORANGEBURG, S.C. Circuit Judge Louis Rosen Saturday reduced! from $50,000 to $20,CO0 the bond under which "Black Power" advocate Cleveland Sellers was held after his arrest dur ing recent racial violence here. The reduction in bond carriei with it the qualification that Sellers, South Carolina Field Director for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, not travel within five miles of this farming city torn last week by three nights of (racial turmoil. Sellers was charged with inciting to riot, assault and battery with intent to kill and arson shortly after a confrontation between Negro students and state highway patrolmen left three students dead on the South Carolina State campus Feb. 8. Sellers relmained in the state penitentiary in Columbia while NAACP Attorney Matthew Perry appeared in his behalf at the hearing beofre Rosen. Perry argued that $50,000 bond was unreasonable for the charges against Sellers. S.

North Korea's seizure of the U.S. intelligence ship Pueblo. The foreign minister spoke at a news conference after Presi dent Park Chung hee said the South Korean government would arm one million reservists by the end of this year as part of , its efforts to strengthen defenses against Communist provocations. Choi said South Korea agrees with the United States that the 83-man crew of the USS Pueblo, held captive in North Korea since Jan. 23, should be freed as soon as possible. But he stressed their release should be obtained in "an honorable way." President Pays Visit To Ft. Bragg FT. BRAGG, N.C.

SI By LARRY KEITH of The Daily Tor Heel Staf CHARLOTTE Dick Grubar sank two free throws with cine seconds remaining to put the finishing touch on an 84-80 North Carolina comeback vic tory against super - charged South Carolina here Saturday night. In the last game of the North-South doubleheader, the Gamecocks burst ahead in the closing minutes of the first half and upped their lead to as much as nine midway through the second half before the Tar Heels came back. South Carolina, getting a game-high of 29 points from Skip Harlicka, held the nine point lead with 12-21 to ga when sophomore Bob Crem ins canned a foul shot. Their lead was eight, 64-72v .when the Tar Heels, behind Charlie Scott's six points, set out on a 10-3 streak that brought them within one, 75 74. Scott, who finished with. 22 points, gave UNC a momen tary 76-75 advantage at 5:19. Gregor came right back for South Carolina but on the Heels' next trip downcourt re- serve Gerald Tuttle made the shot which sent USC down for Ihe last time. There was 3:26 to play. - South Carolina went looking for a go-ahead basket but Rus ty Clark batted a pass away and Grubar took possession. Grubar came down court with four fingers up to signal. The statement urges "the ad ministration and Congress to consider a system of random selection at the earliest possi ble moment" to spread the im pact of the decision over all ages and classifications of draift eligibles. A lottery would provide the best method of conscription ac cording to Dean of the, Graduate School James L. Godfrey. . Godfry feels that "as long as they're going to take young people, to except some and take others throws the burden on an unprivileged group." Godfrey, sees two impacts that the change will make. First, there will be an im mediate change In the graduate schools themselves, he says. The second impact will come in three or four years when in stitutions which rely on ihe products of grad schools find that there is a deficiency of those students, he believes. A Ifirst year law student with a 1-A classification contacted in a poll Saturday by the Daily Tar Heel f eels that the new law is more just. E. C. Brickiemyer says that the old law ''discriminated against a person who didn't have the aptitude to get into a graduate school, or who wasn't married." v "It's equitable to carry this discrimination to a certain ex tent, but you can also go too far," he calims. Brickleymyerdnot "complain when they didn't give me deferment" Another first year law stu dent who served in Vietnam last year, feels that "students already' in graduate school should be given the opportunity to finish." Doug Brackett sees "no dif ference I n ... discrimination between the ones who can go to undergraduate schools and the ones who can go to graduate schools." "Where there is finwfal need, .money is usually available" he savs A UNC dove ooDOSes graduate deferments. Bob Her- nck, third year philosophy students, says that the change 'would be a good thing if I was not against the war, but it would be very dismaying if I should lose my deferment" Herrick is not for deferments because "it is a good idea to run a military on a draft basis, and as long as that is done, it doesn't make sense to draft, graduate students." David Love, a second year philosophy student from England, is not in favor of the Tar Heels' four corner of fense. Twenty seconds after it was called, at 2:20, Scott drove the baseline to give Carolina a three-point lead, 80-77. K With the Gamecocks failing to hit anything after a red hot first half, the Tar Heels were able to reach a five-point ad vantage on two Grubar throws. In the final two minutes UNC, ahead 82-77, got only two more Grubar free throws while South Carolina scored' three points on a Harlicka bas ket at 1:38. and a Gene Spen cer free throw. After the hectic contest was over, the Tar Heel Coach Dean Smith called it "a great basketball game." He pointed out not only Gru bar's four key free throws but also his fine defensive work. Also outstanding for the Tar Heels was 6-10 center Rusty Clark, who scored 14 points and brought down 11 re bounds. Carolina claimed an import ant 32-31 advantage in that department. The Tar Heels had two other men in double figures. Bill Bunting with 15 and Larry Mil ler with 10, his career low. Carolina's winning points came at the free throw line where it made 24 of 28, not bad for a team that usually hits below 70 per cent. The score was tied six times before South Carolina spurted into the five point lead it held at half time, 49-44. what he calls "discrimination dn the draft." "If you're going to fight any war .where you're going to need conscription, then it is un fair to draw on any less privileged classes," Love Bays. - "The choice must be a ran dom one. There must be iground rules about fitness, but you cant idifferentiaite on grounds of education," he feels. Love believes that "if an army is going to (represent all the people, then we can always be sure that its behavior is 'more representative of the country than if.lt is drawn from just one section of the country." Charles Evans, another first year law student, hopes that ''scmething wil be done about people already in grad school." But be also feels that it would "probably be better if the draft is put on a more equal basis," Evans thinks (bat a One should be drawn between undergraduaite and graduate students. "It would probably be better if boys are taken before they go to graduate school. As it stands now, I think the younger ones should be taken before us," he says. IFC To Elect New Chairman Monday Night The Interfratermty Council will meet Monday night to elect a successor to outgoing Chairman Randy Myer. John Calaa of Alpha Tau Omega is the only; announced candidate to fill the vancancy created by Myer's ap pointment as Men's attorney "General. The IFC win also discuss and vote on the policy of holding fraternity rush parties wi&in the houses 'and the progress of Alexander Lewis, a hemophiliac for whom ihe -fraternities are conducting a. blood drive.. Ronnie Bobo, Men's Fraternity Rush Chairman, reported that almost 7 00 students participated in rush this semester and about 490 pledged. This compares with last year's pledge class of 420. Harlicka, who got 16 points through the first 2D minutes but was still second to Stand ard's 18, led the 11-6 assault which broke the 33-33 dead lock. He had eight of the Game cocks' last 11 points, six of them on a pair of three point plays. The first half was dominat ed by South Carolina's out standing field goal shooting. The Gamecocks hit 19 of 23 from the floor. North Carolina kept it close by connecting on 12 of 13 free' throws. With Miller being limited to six points, the tar Heels had to look elsewhere for their scoring. Bunting, who had . UNC's first three baskets, scored 12. Scott 9. and reserve Brown 8 in the first half. NSA Drug Resolution 'Makes No Difference By TERRY GINGRAS of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Dean of Men James O. Cansler indicated Sunday that student approval of the NSA resolution on drugs would not affect the proposed drug policy. 'I dont think it would make any difference," said Cansler, . "I don't see how it could. The NSA resolution simply calls for a modification of state and federal law. The fact that students voted .10 to eight en dorsing it doesn't change the Haw a bit." - The NSA referendum, which was approved by the student body, 1,000 to 800 Feb. 15, calls for the legalization of cannibis ( non4iabdtf orming stimulants such as marijuana), a reevaluation fo drug laws on hallucinogenSi and the treat ment of drug addiction as a medical problem rather than as a criminal offense. Cansler pointed to the small turnout for the referendum; "Of the relatively few students who decade to express themselves on this matter, a slight majority said they would like to see the law repealed, feeling that the law was too tetrict." Cansler further said the small turnout was due to "lack of sufficient interest in the lissues." 4We're sort of caught between what is and what some people would like the situation' to be," said Canseir., The indication that those who voted in the NSA referen dum would like the situation to be," waid Cansler. "The indEieationthat those who voted in the NSA referen dum would like to change federal and state laws wont alter the laws one bit. Even if everyone on this campus were polled. They might endorse the referendum but I doubt that that would change state law." . J.

Any interested squirrels, cmpmonks and raccoons may try out for the role in an unti ed comedy which will be film ed on the Carolina campus. The only necessary qualifica tions are that he must be tame and willing to eat out of an ac tress' hand. Appointments for tryouts may be made by calling Hermes Productions in Rooms 101 and 103 at the Chapel Hill Holiday Inn. Owners will be paid. Carolina's biggest lead was four points which came at 32 23 on a Brown tap and 34-30 on an Eddie Fogler set shot. Until the Gamecocks' fast finish, UNC 'had controlled much of the early play. They were never behind by more than four points and that occurred early. The Gamecocks, wno made 16 of 23 free throws, had real problems from the floor in the second half. They made only 13 of 35 attempts attempts af ter going 19 for 23 in the first 20 minutes. Trailing Harlicka in scoring for USC was Frank Standard, who scored all of his 18 points in the first half. He fouled out with 3:05 to play. Gary Gregor, South Caro lina's husky 6-7 center, scored 14 points and corralled nine Chancellor of the University at Chapel Hill, said he wasn't familiar with the NSA referen dum but added that "we dont have anything to do with it The university administration can't override state law." The administration's opinion of the referendum, is in line with that of Dave Kiel, SP from MD L Kiel reported Fri day that he doubted the drug resolution's passing would have "any legal effect." Kiel said the resolution would only ''heighten the frustration" of people who are already disturbed " with toe "draconian drug statutes", of the state.

According to Ed Mollis, Prodctuion Assistant, the script called for a New England campus, but since most of the Eastern campuses are covered with snow. UNC was chosen as the "most suit able." .
