North Viet Artillery Hits Khe Sarih SAIGON North Vietnamese Friday bombarded Khe Sanh and other U.S. northern outposts with massive artillery barrages and tried desperately to reinforce the diehard Communist force still holding out in Hue's Citadel.

The members of the class will have a show-and-tell period, during which they will describe the "thing" and tell what it means to them or how it expresses them "From now on, we're not the leaders of the course, we're participants." said Moffat.

"The difference is," he; told participants in a workshop on the residence college at the NSA conference here, is that "girls no longer become an ob ject of sex; the student gets to meet them as people." This creates a positive at mosphere for students to live in, he said. The flunk-out rate for these dormitories, which have one wing for. girls, another for boys, has turned out to be a lot less than the flunk-out rate for the regular dorms. UNC students predominated at the workshop of the con ference on educational reform. Bill Darrah, governor of James Residence College and Brian Evdo, president of Grif fith House of Morrison, were the discussion leaders. Much of the discussion turn ed towards what needed to be done at UNC and what had been done at other schools that would be useful at UNC We still need maximum in- teraction of different types of peopie," Darrah said singling out increased interaction between faculty and students as a necessity. The St. Andrews delegate ex plained that there the resident advisor in the mens dorms had been eliminated and replaced by a faculty advisor. k "Attitudes toward academics have really changed as a result," he said. . "Being there creates a much better atmosphere." A big problem; according to Evdo, is that sbdents decide to get something and the ad ministration vetoes their rp X all be just participants in this course." "We'll meet from now on in the outdoor . theater," said Wise, "rain or shine, especially in the rain." "We asked the ten most miserable people to stand up in our first class, said Moffat. "We gave them each a lollipop and everything was all right." The group uses name cards on which each member writes the name he would like to be, called by the rest.

I Powell pointed to two major problems involved in develop ing a university where students learn how to learn: one, the ; students themselves, and two, the faculties. 1 "I'm not sure each of us ! wants this freedom," he said. . "I think you'll find enormous resistance on campus" from " persons who want to be free. The faculty would put up strong resistance to this ; freedom, probably, Powell con- - tinued, ; but he added that he wasn't "so convinced that the faculty is so bad." He catalogued three things that would tend to make the faculty of a university resist any change towards freedom for the students: One, the faculty government is structured in such a way, generally, that no real thoughts or ideas are brought up; 1 Two, "faculty elitism"; a faculty member thinks of teaching students a course in order to introduce them to his own special field, and not to teach them to learn how to learn; Three, the actual structure of the university; most in situations do not have norms which allow for student - participation in decision mak ing. One delegate questioned whether most students, if given this freedom might have "mental hernias" in trying to adjust to the emphasis on thinking for themselves. . O'Toole explained that "some people are not ready to take on the role we have talked about, possibly because of elementary or secondary school training." Powell, however, said he was "not convinced that people who are given freedom 'will have "mental hernias.' " "The first reaction is .one of resistance," he said, and then ' the student will catch on to thinking fdr himself . flora9 DTH Staff Photo by U1KX McGOWAN Libby Idol's got a hang-up: she can't figure out what to do with her kite, since it doesn't seem to want to fly.

Some 12 wanted the code limited ex clusively to the Chapel Hill community and 668 wanted it' limited entirely to the cam pus. ning of our fiscal year," he ex plaind. "We have all intentions of paving it in July if we get the funds. In fact, we've got several paving projects plan ned." The petition, circulated through Connor, Winston and Alexander dorms, was presented to Hamilton Tuesday morning by David Wilborn, its author. She is a graduate coun selor at Connor. "I accepted the petition and thanked Miss Wilborn for br inging the matter to my at tention," Hamilton said. "At the present time we do not have funds to do any pav ing. Weve tried to keep enough Chapel Hill Gravel on this road and our campus supervisor has planned a con siderable amount of pipe work to make the shoulder suitable for parking." "He also plans to increase the width of the road. This work will begin this spring." Hamilton added that even if funds were available, the pav ing could not be done until temperatures are above freez ing both night and day. Miss Wilborn said that Hamilton was "most gracious" and that "he showed me a number of maps of campus, aerial views and explained some of the reasons for the priority given the different projects." She drew up the petition after discussion with Mrs. Graham Ramsay, house mother for Connor; June Orr, president of the dormitory; and La Voice Hard is on, graduate counselor at Con- nor. DTH Stag Photo by 5TXVX ADAMS w w ri jimi no At the present time, only the first two sections of the survey have been graded. These sec tions deal with the basics of setting up the system and its jurisdiction. Students voted in favor of a system of academic discipline, 1696 to 295. Some 93 students were undecided on the question of maintaining a code in the university communiy . Fifteen hundred students were in favor a code of academic discipline based on student responsibility and stu dent enforcment. Only 236 students were in favor of a proctor system while 252 were in favor of some other system. This question had been a, principle concern of Bill Miller, chairman of the Men's Honor Court. "The students would be doing themselves a real disservice if they decided to support the proctor system," said Miller. Students also voted to define the Honor Code in terms of lying, cheating and stealing of an academic nature only. Some 1452 wanted the limita tion to be to academic misdeeds, 525 wanted the code to include lying, cheating and stealing of any nature. The voting in favor of the academic limitation was with the understanding that all non academic offenses would come under the campus code. Students also favored a code social discipline. Some 1216 were in favor of a social code, while 731 were against it. The code of academic discipline received stronger approval, 1696 to 295. The survey was conducted on Feb. 15 along with the National Student Association referenda and the financial reform bilL The Attitudinal Survey had 2,000 participants, while the other two bills drew $300 votes. The rest of the survey will be tabulated Thursday 7:30-11 p.m. in Roland Parker H and in of Graham Memorial.
