"We feel that when over 200 people apply for the Students Courses In Dor: Major changes in the procedure for pre-registering courses to be taught in residence colleges during the Spring semester were announced today by Dr. Harry Smith, Special Assistant to the Chancellor for Residence College Development. Under the new method, students will be able to request the hour and location they want for any of the 33 "R" or residence college courses. This is significantly different from last semester when students were arbitrarily placed in residence college sections regardless of the dorm they were living in. "Now, nobody will be put in a class they don't want to be in," Smith asserted. To pre-register for an "R" section a student must get a pink permission slip from his college master, indicating that he lives in the dorm the course will be taught in; the student should then give this form to his advisor who will place him in the desired section. Smith emphasized that the "R" courses offered next semester are scheduled in "prime" time: mostly in mid or late afternoon hours. In addition to the traditional residence college courses (Mod.

The new program will not be in competition with the Toronto Exchange but will be working in addition to it. Dicks said, "We hope to be able to work with the Toronto Exchange once we get out program started." The committee is currently considering going to another school in Canada, a school in Mexico, a school in Latin America, a school in South America or another school in the U.S. "We are thinking about such alternatives as going as far as Peru or as near as a school in the western part of this country," said Dicks. In order to plan the activities of the program, there will be a meeting for all interested students in Garrard Hall tonight at 7:30. "The idea of the meeting will be to discuss any and all arrangements for the program including finances and places to go," Dicks said. "We hope to develop a core of interested students.

"After we reach these people (the soldiers)," Mann continued, "we plan to have them lead a demonstration, probably in Chapel Hill." Jones said there are about a thousand soldiers at Fort Bragg who are actively working in connection with anti-war programs. The UAWMF is currently working with three of these men, according to Mann. They are Pfc. Walter Kos, who is being court-martialed for his activities, Pvt. Joseph Miles, who has been restricted to the base and "harassed" according to Jones and Mann, and Pvt.

Carlyle Sitterson announced Monday. In a memorandum released to University deans, directors, and department heads, Sitterson related: "Careful analyses of water supply and water consumption rates to date indicate that, on a trial basis, the University can now resume its programs which had to be suspended about six weeks ago when our water shortage reached the point of crisis." The Chapel Hill Town Board of Aldermen were to meet Monday night to consider removing a recently passed ordinance which prohibited the washing of cars, sprinkling of lawns, and operation of water-cooled air conditioners. The Chancellor's statement emphasized, however, that the water shortage is not over and "we must all continue to use all reasonable means to conserve water." Dr. Claiborne Jones, assistant to the Chancellor, said the community has had five and one quarter inches of rain since mid-October, when the worst effects of the drought were being felt. "University Lake is still way down," he said, "but we have reached some 'breathing space' and the Chancellor concluded it wasn't fair to keep the normal programs of the University cut back any longer." "If things go sour on this trial plan, we can only go back to the previous situation, but we hope this little breathing spell here will tide us over until .Nixon Endorses Johnson's Vietnam WASHINGTON (UPI) -President-elect Richard M.

Dr. Jones noted that although November is normally a dry month, the cooler weather would require students to bathe less frequently. Also Sc run ion Speech At UNC On Thursday Former Governor William W. Scranton of Pennsylvania will speak in Memorial Hall Thursday at 8 p.m., it was announced today by Carolina Forum Chairman Scott Goodfellow. Gov.

Last week, however, Scranton discounted the rumors that he would be named Secretary of State. He said he had no intentions to return public life. He noted that he would aid Nixon in any way the President-elect wished before his inauguration (Jan. 20) but he would not accept any permanant position. According to Goodfellow, the format for the program will be a brief talk by Scranton concerning a recent fact finding trip to Europe he made for Nixon and its political ramifications, followed by an extended question-answer session. The 1964 runner-up for the Republican Presidential nomination has been described as a "liberal on civil rights, a . conservative on fiscal policy and an internationalist in foreign affairs. " During World War II he served as a Lieutenant in the Army in such areas as North Africa, the Middle East and in the China-Burma theatre. In 1959 Scranton joined the personal staff of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles as special assistant in charge of briefing the press on State Department policy. He was seated in the 87th Congresses in 1961 and elected Governor of Pennsylvania the following election. Time magazine recently commented that Scranton is "one of the U.S.'s ablest executives and the Republican Party's brightest lights." Peace Strategy the next two months in the tense Middle East and toward improving relations with the Soviet Union. Nixon emphasized continuity of government during the transition period between this administration and the next, and expressed hope that cooperation between himself and President Johnson could bring "some significant progress towards peace" before the Jan. 20 inauguration. This transition period, Nixon said, is different from ones in the past because "this nation at this time in its foreign policy has several matters Vietnam of course at the top of the list which cannot wait decision and cannot afford a gap of two months in which no action occurs. "If however, the action is to occur, if progress is to be made on matters like Vietnam, the current possible crisis in Middle East, relations between the United States and the Soviet Union with regard to certain outstanding matters if progress is to be made in any of these fields, it can be only made if the parties on the other side realize that the current administration is setting forth policies that will be carried forward by the next administration," he said. Nixon said that during the meeting with Johnson and his top advisers, "I gave assurance in each instance to the secretary of state and, of course, to the President, that they could speak not just for this administration but for the nation, and that meant the next administration as well." Nixon said he thought his talks with the President were "helpful ... from the standpoint of seeing to it that in these next 60 days this very Ag am Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations are coming up so "the calendar seems to be on our side," according to Dr. Jones. Both the Chancellor and Dr. Jones praised the student body for "a marvelous effort in (Continued on page 6) Pla ns vsuuuuiaaiuu iiicewwf; nui uc t i . critical period rather than having the lapse of the lame duck presidency in effect, we might have very significant action and progress towards peace." Nixon's remarks appeared to be a warning to both North and South Vietnam they would not benefit from a delay of peace talks until his administration takes over. During the meeting with Johnson, Nixon was briefed on foreign policy matters by Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Defense Secretary Clark Clifford CIA Director Richard Helms, Presidential advisor Walt Rostow, and Gen. Earle G. Wheeler, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The discussions involved Vietnam, the Middle East, Europe and NATO. Johnson described the meetings as a "very thorough briefing" and hinted at further such meetings. "I realize that the American people have a right to the government that efficiently functions at all times." Johnson then said that his meeting was a "very pleasant and cooperative meeting as I expect the meetings to be in the days ahead." The President and Mrs. Johnson and the President-elect and Mrs. Nixon met for lunch in the family dining room at the White House from 1:20 p.m. to 2:48 p.m. when the two men went to the President's oval office. They were in the office briefly when they went to the adjoining cabinet room where they met for an hour and 28 minute session with the various administration advisers. At 4:19 p.m. Nixon and Johnson returned to the oval office where they remained until they met with reporters
