Following the talent show a variety of international refreshments will be served. International displays will be also exhibited in the lounge, at Graham Memorial. "This is in an effort to make people aware of the fact that Oct. 24 is United Nations Day," said Miss Danielle Withrow who is co-chairman with Tommy Bello- of the YM-YWCA Collegiate Council of the United Nations. "We felt that the best way we could accomplish this was to have both American and foreign students come together for an event such as this. Of course, UN Day is Oct. 24 but we decided to hold the Festival on a Sunday so that more people could attend. "In the past the program has been a great success and we invite all students to attend and to' wear their native costume," Miss Withrow said. In conjunction with the United Nations Day International Festival, a display of international dolls will be shown in the library. A -5 day to this PLANNING STRATEGY UNC Students interested in the "Time Out" Day planned for DTH Staff Photo By Grant McOmtock Oct. 29 at all National Student plans for the upcoming event Association schools met at on the Chapel Hill campus. Silent Sam Tuesday to discuss By TOM GOODING DTH Staff Writer , "We have billed the "Time Out Day," underscore the need at cntical time for students to take time out from their regular business, and to begin to act on a common strategy of where we as students go from here." Robert S. Powell, president of the U.S. National Student Association (USNSA) said yesterday. Charles Jeffress, a member of the national supervisory board of NSA and local co-ordinator for "Time-Out", said "We have planned this as a period for students to take a "Time Out from regular activities on Oct. 29 to consider some of the basic problems of our society." We have scheduled speakers from the State Department, a national political panel, various student committees, a speech from Bob Powell, and hopefully a forum for University officials to appear and answer questions about the University's position in the community. According to Jeffress, booths will be set up for: the Presbyterian Student Center, the racism issue, Action Student Government, women's rules and self-limiting hours, and the new Resurrection City. The YMCA will also hold a mock presidential election. The U.S. State Department is sending a speaker on the role of the military in foreign policy and a speaker on U.S. investments in South Africa and our policy there during the past years. "The speeches are currently scheduled to last from 15 to 20 minutes and to be followed by an open discussion. A representative of Dow Chemical Company has also been invited to speak, and that night Bob Powell will deliver his speech," said Jeffress. The events will start at 10:00 a-m. On Oct. 29 in Polk Place. It is hoped that microphones can be used, but the university regulations which forbid their use in Polk Place have not yet been suspended. "National Time Out plans call for a suspension of classes on 350 university campuses, but to this date Chancellor everyone Time Out" on be a meeting participating in ' Monday, Oct 28, at noon beside Silent Sam.

The EC's catalogue Kelly. the The reason for the considerable decrease in the number of students registering for courses in the Experimental College is largely communications, says John Kelly, a member of the EC co-ordinating committee. Kelly said the main drawback to student interest this semester was lack of was late being distributed. "Students reading catalogue when it was distributed assumed that many of the courses had already started and that registration was already over when they got the catalogue," he explained. "Actually, due to the delay in publication,, we have extended registration and moved the starting time for classes back one week," said Kelly said that today will be the last day of registration. Ec booths are in Y Court from 10 to 4 p.m. and in the new undergraduate library from 6 to 9 p.m. Kelly said over 200 people had signed up Tuesday for courses. "Such an early turnout is encouraging and I expect " that registration may surpass the high mark of 600 set last spring," he added. SSOC Will Leaflet Wallace By BRYAN CUMMING DTH Staff Writer When George Wallace speaks on the steps of the Durham Police Station Thursday, a organization at Duke, will meet Thursday at 10 a.m. in Y Court for discussion. The group will leave for Durham at 11 a.m. to attend the noon rally. According to Bob Lock, a Southern Student Organizing SSOC spokesman, students will . . - 1 1 1 1 ! . - 1 A. A. 1 Committee croup will (SSOC) sponsored hand out leaflets and start discussions with Wallace supporters rather than disrupting his speech with conventional tactics. Some members of SSOC, in cooperation with the same not be heckling, but instead will communicate with Wallace supporters individually in order to "establish some common ground." Lock says the tactic of silence would be useless with a small group, and that "heckling is only helping Wallace." The SSOC group will attempt to bridge the alienation between students and the working class. There is surface conflict between Wallace supporters and SSOC, according to Lock, but on the deeper issue of self determination, "we can find agreement." The way Lock says that SSOC can communicate with Wallace supporters is by showing that "we are both large segments of the JL JL JL Wallace Almost Chose To Speak At Carolina When George Wallace advance men ran into trouble arranging a place for the presidential candidate to speak in Durham this Thursday, UNC was one of the first places to offer him assistance. Wallace will speak in Durham at noon on Thursday in the parking lot adjacent to Durham police headquarters. The site was arranged late Monday night. "Whether or not there is much support for Wallace on our campus was not important," said Scott Goodfellow, chairman of the Carolina Forum, which issued the invitation. "The man may carry the state in November and would certainly be of tremendous interest." State Wallace ; campaign headquarters in Charlotte had indicated early Monday morning that the mayor of Durham and Durham city officials were not pleased about the possibility of Wallace speaking in Durham. "They didn't even want to hold a meeting about it," said state Wallace campaign chairman Reid Stubbs. The Forum then arranged the invitation through Graham Memorial Director Howard Henry and offered Wallace either Carnichael Auditorium or one -side of Kenan Stadium. Football coach Bill Dooley approved the use of the stadium field. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson approved the request to issue the invitation, but indicated some personal reservations since the visit was less than 72 hours away. "The only requirement I felt necessary to place on Governor Wallace was that he have a question-answrer period," said Goodfellow. "We couldn't very well hand him Kenan Stadium for a political rally." This requirement, however, would be a difficult one to meet, according to Wallace advance men in Durham. "Governor Wallace likes to make a free, off-the-cuff presentation," said Ernie Hemrick, at Durham Wallace-for-President headquarters. But the securing of a site in Durham proved to be the final factor in eliminating UNC from the running. Durham had long been the scheduled site, and when city officials offered the police parking lot, the matter was decided. population alienated from the power structure." The leaflet that will be passed out is published by JOIN (Jobs or Income Now), a Chicago based organization of poor whites sponsored by the students for a Democratic Society. The leaflet, entitled "Stand Up for America," is addressed toward working class people for the purpose of stimulating Wallace supporters to analyze his performance in Alabama. The leaflet mentions reasons for supporting Wallace, followed by contradictions of Wallace's own statements by his record as governor of Alabama. There have been poor whites organizing in Durham for approximately five months. The SSOC goal is to encourage this present organization, said Lock. For people who plan to help SSOC workers at the rally, Lock advises that there is a need for as many cars as possible. Lock also discourages any students who intend to heckle Wallace. Concerning hecklers, Lock says they would show more personal courage by helping with the dialogues with Wallace supporters on an individual basis. Lock requests that students who were planning to heckle "channel their energies in more constructive ways.' All students have to do to register for a course or action government group is sign their names to a list for each course. The success of the experimental college depends on interest motivation. Consequently there is no credit for the course; neither is there requred attendance. There is also no registration fee for a course. But a $1.00 contribution is being asked of r those who sign up to help establish a "slush" fund which course leaders may draw upon for instructional materials. The money will also be. used to offset the cost of printing the catalogue. Kelly said he disagreed with an editorial in the Daily Tar Heel Monday which called "an increased healthiness in the University" the main reason for students failing to sign up for EC courses. "The system has come a long way, but it still has a lone way to go," he said. Those leaders who did not list a time or place to meet and who have not already been contacted are asked to call Peggy Baggett at 933-2733 before Wednesday night so that ameeting place can be secured. measure for UNC. Classes are called for University Day and we are still trying to get classes called for "Time Out", Jeffress said. A letter has been sent to all faculty members requesting that "members of the University community suspend for this day all routine activities and events and concentrate their energies into the questioning and serious planning for which Time Out is planned." Any person or organization interested in setting up a booth or a discussion on any issue should contact Gary MacBeth before Friday, Oct. 25, so that duplication of efforts can be cut down as much as possible. In order to co-ordinate final plans and schedules, there will for at least another 48 hours. Culbreth said the delay is due to inability to complete the check for leaks in the new pipeline. He said Chapel Hill would begin receiving one million gallons of water a day when a complete check proves the line sound from end to end. The pipeline will need to be sterilized for 24 hours after the check has shown the line satisfactory. Culbreth said water consumption for Monday was 2.8 million gallons. The lake remained at 83 inches below the spillway on Monday and Tuesday. "This shows that the run-off from the weekend rain was equal to consumption," said Culbreth. French Minister Voices Support Of LBJ Actions PARIS (UPI) - French Foreign Minister Michel Debre declared Tuesday after conferring with President Charles de Gaulle that President Johnson's "courageous" Vietnam peace moves were beginning to bear fruit. Debre spoke in a radio broadcast on the eve of a crucial negotiating session between U.S. and North Vietnamese diplomats at which Hanoi may indicate the price it is prepared to pay in exchange for a complete halt to U.S. bombing of the North. The foreign minister's comments came shortly after rumors swept diplomatic quarters that the Hanoi and Viet Cong commands had decreed a near-cease-fire to Final Transfer Of Books E xpected To Start Monday Two Teenagers Hurt In Wreck A police cruiser was damaged and a Carrboro teenager's car destroyed following a 90 mile an hour chase through Carrboro early Monday morning. ' Two unidentified female passengers in the speeding vehicle were injured when the car went out of control and overturned near University Lake. Patrolman David Hughes, cruising on Robertson Street near the recreation center shortly after midnight, spotted the car carrying three teenagers traveling at 55 mp.h. in a 25 mile zone and started pursuit, signaling the car to stop. The speeding car, driven by Ronald Jackson Couch, 18, of 105 Grant Street, Carrboro,accelerated at 90 m.p.h. through the town and led the policeman out to University Lake Road. According to police shortly before reaching the Lake, Couch lost control of the car and overturned, smashing the vehicle and injuring the two department By J.D. WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer Transfer of books from Wilson Library to the new Robert H. House Library will begin Monday, according to Dr. James Thompson, director of the undergraduate library. The move is expected to take three to five days, and officials anticipate that the undergraduate library will be closed through Friday, Nov. 1. The transfer is being made despite the fact that all of the shelves for the new library have not yet arrived and are not expected to be fully-installed until late Dec. Thompson said, however, that enough shelves have been installed to accomodate the volumes which will be transferred from Wilson Library next week. There will be no circulation of undergraduate library books next week, but students will be able to return books to the old undergraduate library room in Wilson Library. The reserve reading room has already been moved to the The old reserve reading room is being converted to accomodate the circulation department.

This is an alteration of the former policy under which students were not allowed to enter the stacks without specific authorization.

The rumors coincided with a Saigon statement in which South Vietnamese President Nguyon Van Thieu declared, in an apparent softening of Saigon's stand, that he does not oppose a conditional halt to the bombing. Speaking to millions of European radio listeners, the French foreign minister declared: "President Johnson, by a courageous act, has decided a completely new direction of the American policies.
