"We're recommending a
thorough break with the tradi
tional approach to the cur
riculum we've had here at
Duke," said Frederick Joerg,
Assistant Dean of te Duke
College of Arts and Sciences.
Joerg's comment refers to
the hundred page report re
evaluating Duke's curriculum
which was submitted for ap
proval last week to Duke's
Undergraduat e-Faculty
Council.
The report, under intensive
study by the Curriculum Com
mittee for the past year, has
two salient features, Joerg ex
plained. The first recommends a
reduction from five to four
course requirements p e r .

The second asks that

says.
This feature includes three

the idea said the Durpose of
the vigil is "to show sympathy
and solidarity" with the ;
Students who were arrested.
Cloak said the vigil is not
planned by any group but by
"interested human beings"
who support the students as
members of the University
community.
Judy Weinburg, a supporter
of the vigil, said vigils are

that would be available under
the proposed system.
Under either of the first two
programs, a student would be
allowed to drop a course in
his senior year if he does
a senior thesis.
The new system would also
drop the quality point system
and judge courses mainly by
letter grades and pass-fail
evaluation.
For a j degree, a student
would need 32 courses, with
a C-minus or better in 24 of
them.
Joerg believes that a student
"has a right to fail a course.
In the quality point system,
if he fails, his deficit builds."
"The grading system eiiould
not get in the way of educa
tion," Joerg said.
"Students should not have
grades in the forefront of their
minds all the time. A student
should have an indication of
how he's doing, but he
shouldn't be penalized for not
doing well," Joerg said.
On course requirements,

Explosion Rips Embassy In Spain
MADRID Two explosions within minutes Monday smashed
windows and damaged walls in the U.S. Embassy and the
U.S. Information Agency Center a block away. A Spanish
employe at the center was injured and hospitalized.
Outgoing Ambassador Angier Biddle Duke was in the modern '
embassy on Serrano Boulevard when the building was rocked
by the blast shortly before 6 p.m.
Five minutes later, as police and officials were at the
embassy, a second explosion went off in the "Casa America,"
the USIA Cultural Center on tree-lined Oastellana Boulevard.
Police said there were no clues. There was speculation
the bombings were related to mounting anti-American sentiment ,
among elements opposed to U.S. policies in Vietnam.
National Guard Supports Robles
PANAMA CITY Panama's National Guard Monday backed
up impeached President Marco A. Robles with a tear gaa
raid on headquarters of the opposition National Union party.
Guardsmen arrested 181 persons in the building and reported
the seizure of arms.
Brig. Gen. Volivar Vallarino sternly warned that his small
but potent force will "continue to maintain peace and order"
in the hot political fight between Robles and the opposition-controlled
National Assembly which Sunday voted Robles out
of office and installed his first vice president, Max Delvalle,
as chief executive.
The assembly action in impeaching Robles and ousting
him from office was based on his alleged violation. the
constitution by engaging in politics on behalf of his candidate
for the presidency. However, Robles refused to accept his
ouster and the Guard backed his position that the con
stitutionality of me assembly proceedings. . ..
N. Koreans Accuse U. S. Again
PANMUNJOM North Korea Monday accused the United
States of sending the USS Pueblo into Communist waters
in an attempt to start a new war in Korea. The United
Nations Command said the charge was "manifefctly absurd"
and designed to cover up North Korea's aggressive intentions
against South Korea.
The Communist charge was made at the 265th meeting
of the Korea Armistice Commission in this truce village
in the demilitarized zone. The meeting lasted nearly six
hours with both sides exchanging angry charges and coun
tercharges. At the same time, the North Korean radio broadcast
more letters purportedly written by crewmen of the Pueblo
in what observers said was a determined effort by the Com
munists to force a formal apology from the U.S. government.
The letters were addressed to President Johnson, members
of Congress and relatives. Like -the others broadcast since.
Friday, all contained admissions of espionage and hinted they
would be released if the United States confessed to its "hostile
act." .

By TODD COHEN
of The Daily Tar Heel Staff
Fred Halstead, Socialist
Worker candidate for Presi
dent, will speak Wednesday
night at 8 p.m. in Howell Hall
to all interested persons.
Halstead, whose talk is being
sponsored by the Graham
Memorial Current .Affairs
Committee, in charge of
Choice '68, is ninning on a
caalitiom ticket. v
On that ticket, the Young
Socialists have merged with
Halstead's party.
The coalition platform con
sists of two parts.
The first part favors a Get-Out-Of-Vietnam-Now
policy.
This policy calls for the im
mediate - w i t h d r a w a 1 of
American forces in Vietnam,
as stated on the Choice '68
ballot.
Choice '68 is a mock
presidential election, sponsored
by Time Magazine, which will
be held here April 24.
The second section of the
Socialist platform asks for
"black control for black com
munities." Paul Boutelle, a black mili
tant, is running as Halstead's
vice-uresidential candidate and
is responsible for the wording derstanding
of that part of the platform.
Halstead, who hails from
New York City, has been in
volved in peace demonstrations
f or . the last six years and
was oo-ordinator for the New
York Peace March two years
ago.
He is also the co-ordinator
for the New YorkPeace and
Civil Rights Movements.
Halstead has been' offered
an honorarium of $125 by

a seminar audience was told
here this morning (March
23).
Dr. Paul Kotin, director of
the Environmental Health
Sciences Center in the
Research Park Triangle,
pointed to "an urgent need
for prospective epidemiological
studies to tell us whether
substances which cause cancer
in the laboratory (carcinogens)
are just that or whether they
help to explain the panorama
of cancer in human popula
tions." He argued that more energy
is being devoted , to un-
the biochemistry
of cells than to "the perhaps
equally significant differences
in human populations at dif
ferent risks to cancer."
To fill the void created by
this difference in scientific em
phasis he called for "the in
tegrated utilization of data
from epidemiological surveys,
biometric studies' and
laboratory investigations to the
end of increasing their use
in the appraisal of
carcinogenic hazards to
man.'
