Interviews for the Tm a Wtdnesday la Th.?,y ana Volume 75, Number 140 undent CDF H By TODD COHEN of The Doily Tor Hct sta A proposal to establish an experimental campus bus line will be presented to Student Legislature Thursday night. ' The proposal asks that $700 be appropriated to operate two busses in and around the cam pus for an experimental period of five days, according to Jed Dietz, a member of the Student Transportation Commission. Administration offers $350 Mr. A. S. Waters, Chairman of the Traffic and Safety Com mittee announced Monday his committee is interested in the student-initiated project to the etxent that it would be willing to fund the commission an additional $350. According to Dietz, an average of 32 people each one way trip, paying $.10 each, 24 trips a day, five days a week, would let the experiment break slightly more than even. As an additional means of providing a self liquidating project, Mr. Robert Deaton, assistant General Manager of the Raleigh City Coach Lines consented to permit the Valkyries Tap New Members Twenty undergraduates and two honoraries were tapped into Valkyries last night in a ceremony that ended with a pre-dawn induction. The all-night tapping was done by present members of Valkyries, the highest women's honorary on campus. Masked and clad in black robes, they entered women's dorms and sororities after closing hours announced only by the tradi tional striking of a brass gong. New members were chosen on the basis of service, leadership, "scholarship, and character. Citations of the individuals were read at each tapping: The Valkynes recognize Miss Nancy Winifred Ay cock: "One who has worked diligently and unselfishly for the betterment of the campus through her work in State Af fairs, Student Legislature, Consolidated University Stu dent Council, Town Womens' Group, and Model U.N.

Route A suggested route runs from South Campus, past Scott College, Y-Court, through Morehead and . King Colleges, and back to South Campus by way of Wilson Library. According to the wording of the proposal, the commission believes "the need for a cam pus transportation has long been recognized." In an effort to form a plan t o alleviate problems thwarting the establishment of earlier systems, Bill Darrah, Dietz and John McMurray, all members of the commission, carried on extensive in-, vestigation and negotiation. Such problems, including the extensive cost of the initial fliability and insurance, have Miss Linda Karen Burrouo s: "Miss Burroughs has made outstanding contributions in her field of journalism. As co-editor of the UNC JOURNALIST, she has shown imagination and dedication. She is a member of the Press Club, Kappa Tau Alpha scholastic honorary society, the Angel Flight, and Chi Omega sorority.

The cynical view he said would be to say the move Johnson was looking for the was merely political and call of the people. "It will be said, "before a while," Carr we know which view is correct. It is safe, to say that the fun- however, damental motive was t o destroy the campaign of (Robert) Kennedy." Corky Eaton, a member of the anti-draft Resistance, said, "I've got the feeling that he might be telling the truth now, but I'm not positive."

Mr. Waters expressed the same feeling when he extended the offer $350. of an additional Johnson to. The whole question of who ets the democratic nomina tion, he said, depends on the strength that Vice-President Hubert Humphrey has. Dr. Andrew Scott, also a professor in the political science department said, "This increases Kennedy s chances and may induce (Nelson) Rockefeller to wish he hadn't gotten out." "I don't think Humphrey will go very far," he said.

D. WILKINSON of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Some students whooped and cheered as. if Carolina had just won another close basket ball game. Others gathered in small groups to think aloud. Everyone was surprised. Lyndon Johnson had just an nounced that he would not seek the Presidential nomination this fall. And by Monday af ternoon a campus opinion poll caught many UNC "students still shaking their heads in disbelief and attempting to ex plain the motives behind the President's unexpected decision. Twelve of the 35 persons interviewed thought , Johnson was trying to save face. - "He realized he wasn't going to get it anyway. He was pain fully aware of his personal unpopularity," remarked Linda Dunphy, a psychology major from New Brunswick, N.J. Jim Yacopino, a philosophy graduate student from New York City, agreed. "It was the only way to get himself out of a jam, a dilemma. . .he couldn't save face by con tinuing previous policies. : .he was at a dead end and facing four more years of bitter con tention." While several people thought the move would give Johnson a freer hand in his remaining months as President, especially in regard to stepping up peace efforts in Vietnam, two said Johnson was not really bowing out. "I don't think he's com pletely out of the picture. He may decide to ' run again in the next couple of months," commented Jim Gardner, a junior accounting major from Hickory. Eleven of those interviewed felt they just don't know why Johnson made the an nouncement. Rusty Sherrill, a first year law student from Raleigh, ad mitted "I just don't know what to think about it yet. It was TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1968 ;hi ion TED Ham He also hopes the ex periment would provide in formation concerning student interest in the system. Water feels the bosses could possibly be viewed by students as a novelty for the first week, and thus offered funs for a second week of operations. The busses to be used are two $30,000, General Motor, in-tra-city (twcdoor) vehicles. The committee reports they are "the most modern intra-ci-ty transit coaches made." " The busses are air-conditioned. Move ner." However, he added, "I still see Nixon winning the (Republican) convention." Noel Dunivant, spokesman for the campus McCarthy movement, said, "I am very much encouraged, especially by his (Johnson's) halting the bombing, and even more so by the fact that America is going to get the direction that it needs by Johnson's withdrawal. McCarthy and his sup porters will now have the op portunity to. present- the part of McCarthy's platform that, because of its nature, has been largely ignored." Kirk Osborn, organizer Students for Kennedy said, has opened up a lot of portunity" for Kennedy. of "It Op- too much of a surprise to me I never thought he'd do it." "rUvtriMielir cnmothind Viae happened to make him change Weinj mins tho n.ihi;r - is not aware of," said Phillip Fisher, a sophomore from Kannapolis majoring in political science. "I'm anxious to wait and see what he has up his sleeve." "It's strange," mused Jess Van Deriwalker, an economics graduate student from Pueblo, Col. "Why would he do that? He had a fairly good chance of getting nominated again. One thought that occurs is that he did it on the grounds of offering new peace pro posals. He may want to avoid using the peace proposals as a ploy, but I almost have to reject that." Four students saw the decision as a sincere guesture, and some pointed out that Johnson could possibly not survive the physical strain of another campaign or term. "I think he's sincere," observed a sophomore history major from Livingston, N.J. "He seems like he's had enough," explained Joel Sobelson. George Alston, a sociology graduate student from Greensboro, called the move "an attempt on his part to demonstrate his sincerity and the sincerity of the Democratic Party to do what seems to be in the best interest of the American people." Citing a possible cause in the need for a popular Vietnam policy, philosophy Professor E.M. Adams thought Johnson "withdrew from a partisan battle to appeal for party and perhaps nationally unity." "It's great," beamed. Janet Hicks, a junior international studies major from Rocky Mount. "North Vietnam will consider it a truer peace ef fort. . .I'm glad for him as a person and for the pood of ther country. I admire him for it." 1 A 9" " L I 1 ML i - ' ,, . , ? r -, 4 -- . . i I - x - ' - I '' ' ... : ; I. - - V. i , t I : -t " -'' a " I : t- if I' 1 " - Z: " - - -i I 'I i f"- ?

Bus To Replace Thumb ? vXwXvX'XV'NI'VWV'Xv; "Dfo Han ExBomnds By LOUISE JENNINGS of The Dotty Tor Heel Staff "The major confrontation to day is not between the East and the West but between the haves and the have-nots," Han Suyin explained Monday in the second lecture of the Carolina Symposium. Dr. Han, is a physician, writer, and lecturer. She has published several books in cluding "A Many Splendored Thing" which was later made into a movie. Other books have included a series about China and her most recent China in the Year 2001. The emergent youth, the pressures from the rest of the world, and the decision of whether to support the "Old or the new" China were sug gested as explanations for the recent ''cultural con frontation." "A return to the past at this point would have been to turn to total tyranny and feudalism," she explained. "Another great choice had been forced on China. They were faced with the problem of identity and whether to identify with the haves or the have nots," she said. "Mao Tse-Tung made the right choice," Dr. Han con tinued. "Any other choice would have led back to the '. past and to the old China with the same old problems of slow industrialization, etc," she said. "Nations and people must decide whether to change at titudes and prejudices and see the world ' as it really is," she said, "or as they wish it were." Describing the culture of a society is to describe its total character, Dr. Han indicated. Almost completely her ex planations of the new Chinese culture were in terms of tec hnology industrialization and accumulation of material wealth. "The process of revolution is to liberate and to push the development of the forces of production," she said. The second phase began in December of 1966. It was a stage of open criticism and writing on the walls. Two fac tions, were struggling for power rith each claiming loyalty to the revolution. The third phase of the revolution is the one in which Reception International Student Center will hold an open reception for Dr. Han Suyin at 12 today in the Center. 1L the Chinese are now involved, she explained. It is a phase of "grand alliances.' Mao regards the cultural revolution as a "total education" of the people, she continued. The entire cultural revolu tion might be compared to Luther's break with the Catholic Church, she con tinued. Luther suggested that his followers follow their con sciences to know what is righ to do, she said. China's revolution is in many ways similar to this religious experience, she continued. Followers are encouraged to Snow: U. China In By NANCY STANCILL of The Daily Tar Heel Staff "No U.S. administration has made an effort to rectify the errors made in the China policy that has led to the Viet nam situation," said Edgar Snow Sunday night. Snow, who speaking on the topic "Red China Views the West", opened the 19 68 Carolina - Symposium to a capacity crowd in Memorial Hall. Snow traced A m e r i c a n foreign policy regarding China from the famous remark of John Foster Dulles, "Red China is just a passing thing," to the non-recognition policy which prevails today. Vietnam is merely a "proxy war" between the United States and China, according to Snow. As long as American troops remain in Vietnam, there will be no improvement in Sino-American relations. "Chairman Mao, in his own words has said, 'The Butcher will never lay down the meat cleaver' with regard to U.S. involvement in Vietnam," said Snow. Mao is definitely not eager for war, and only if the war is brought to China's doorstep will he take an active part in it, Snow believes. Snow feels Mao's present policy consists of encouraging U. S. mainland committments, while biding China's time to establish arms equally. If communications between North Vietnam and China were destroyed by the U.S., or if China were actually invaded would be Mao's conditions for actively entering the war, ac cording to Snow. Concerning China's foreign ;itkns. he feels China wants recognition as the great nation it has become to vindicate its Bruner Reception The Slavic Club will hold an informal reception for Mirko Bnmer.

Turning to the future of the revolution Dr. Han suggested the "party" would be an in strument through which the will of people who are not Communist will also b e manifest. The black power movement in the United States is "as valid and unpredictable as any cultural movement in Red China," she said. (Continued on Page 4) S. Faces Vietnam weaknesses of the past. However, China will continue to reject American nationalism in its sphere of influence, and will not resume relations with the U.S. until the Vietnam and Taiwan issues are resolved, Snow feels. Snow emphasized Mao will not accept reconciliation with the revisionist policies of the Soviet Union. "China is fast achieving economic equilibrium and her people are healthy, educated, and technologically well-trained," he said. Snow feels China will expand economically within the next 20 years, much as Japan has done since the war. "China will grow pro gressively stronger and create more problems in the future unless she is recognized and given the responsibility for her "one fourth of hamanity," Snow concluded, "one fourth of humanity," is also the title of Snow's feature-length documentary on China, shown Sunday afternoon in Carroll Hall. The film depicted scenes . from China's revolutionary ac tivities of the 1930's, including interviews with Mao and Chou En Lai. . The color movie, narrated by Snow, also showed scenes of modern-day life in China, mgnlignted by the experiences of an agricultural commune. The film stressed power and irrigation as the hopes for unina to augment its poor agriculture. According t o Snow, food, clothing, and agriculture are relatively im proved today.
