Lee and the Board of Aldermen formally committed themselves to the problem Wednesday afternoon in a special session of the Town Board. The board voted unanimously to have City Engineer Tom Rose investigate the price of piping it at least from Linsay to McDade streets. Rose's report is due by June 9 with action soon afterward. Debate in the meeting centered around whether to make the area into a park or pipe it. City Manager, Robert Peck argued for the park, and he was joined by Alderman Goerge Coxhead. "Money remaining from last May's bond referendum totals $74,000," Peck said. "Part of this is to be spent in depressed areas and could be applied here to make the areas into a park.'

"One item concerning the extended bus schedule is under consideration by the Chancellor but additional details have been requested of me by his office regarding the financial status of the bus system and the Motor Vehicle Registration Fund from which the bus subsidy was to come," he said. Waters said the Chancellor has personally expressed a great interest in making the Pub Board Chooses Hicks, Johnson The Publications Board has named a Carolina Quarterly editor and a Daily Tar Heel business manager for next year, Jack Hicks, a first year English graduate student from Baltimore. Md.. will be Quarterly editor. Ron Johnson, a junior economics and political science major from Lexington, will serve as DTH business manager. I plan to direct the Quarterly more towards a student writing audience," said Hicks. "More experimental and unpublished manuscripts will be used. Hicks said the literary magazine, published three times a year and sold at 50 cents, will concentrate on "publishing broader-based student manuscripts, not just local material." John Woodside well serve as Quarterly business manager. and two of his students, Fritz Mock and Al Wrobleski, presented their plans for the area to the board. They proposed a mixture of piping and the park. The pipes would be from Lindsay to McDade. Lee and the aldermen agreed that their plans had much merit but, together with the park idea, are too long-range. Wrobleski argued their case, but in reference to the park idea, Cohn added: "The question of eliminating odors is very serious. No engineer could guarantee that if the ditch is cleaned and the area made into a park the smell would be eliminated. Water in there is stagnant, and the land very flat." Alderman Joe Nassif summed up the majority view of the board stating, "We have to work on the long-range and immediate plan simultaneous ly. There is no time for waiting." "We must concern ourselves with what we can do now," Lee said. "After that, the . . . well, good luck, world. dormitories, including South Campus, "more attractive to students" but must consider the matter more thoroughly before committing the Motor Vehicle Registration rund. The Chancellor's Advisory Committee voted 5-3 Tuesday to recommend a subsidy of $3,000 per month for the expanded bus services, not to exceed $27,000 a year, to extend the service until women's closing hours. The proposed system will provide campus bus services from 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday until women's closing hours, and from 10 a.m. until closing hours on Saturday and Sunday. Fiction editor will be Liz Rogers and poetry editor will be Joel Oseroff. All are graduate students. Hicks said the staff will be "interested in reviewing all student manuscripts submitted to them." Ron Johnson, new DTH business manager, served as assistant business manager this year. "I am interested in full communication with the DTH staff, not only with the business staff but the news and editorial staff," said Johnson. Johnson will direct a business staff of six, including an assistant, an advertising manager and his assistant and three ad salesmen. Johnson said he plans to bring more advertising, both Chapel Hill and Durham-based, to the Daily Tar HeeL Lane planners can work out a desirable long-range plan.

W7 n n WE political future unhindered by outside influences. Nixon said that his administration had ruled out a purely military solution to the war on one hand, and a one-sided withdrawal from Vietnam on the other. He said it also w?ould not accept "terms that would amount to a disguised defeat." "To abandon them (the South Vietnamese) now would risk a massacre thai would shock and dismay everyone in the world who values human life," Nixon said. The President put forward in his speech a series of initiatives that would form the basis for moving the year-old Paris negotiations off dead center. He said the United States sought no permanent military ties to South Vietnam; was willing to agree to the neutrality of South Vietnam if freely chosen by its people; sought full participation in the jolitical life of South Vietnam "for all, including the Viet Cong, provided they are prepared to do so without the use of force; and, has no objection to the reunification Construction Projects 'Greatest In History Special to the DTH The maze of construction projects acorss the campus and town may have caused wonder and even anger among the A 1 1" 1. J 1 J stuaents wno travel arouna - !e e manv new u..n campus most of them clustered around the hospital on South camnus Yet no major parking facilities have been planned. The campus planner, Alfred Tuttle, said the university is now engaged in the largest amount oi construction m its history. Many of the buildings have been planned for as long as ten years, In the health affairs area, there are five buildings under construction: an Ambulatory Patient. .c"e f?clhty for Memorial Hospital, a new education Duuamg lor tne school of dentistry, a basic educational facilities buflding. a new School of Nursing, and a medical research facility Some alleviation of the parking in this South Campus area will be a large parking lot in the middle of Victory Village. 0 the main campus, beside P tQ Dey Hall and a new Physical Science building are being built. The addition to Venable JIJIVUliL of North and South Vietnam "if that tums out to be what the people of South Vietnam and of North Vietnam want." Nixon said South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu had been fully informed of his proposals and was in agreement with them. To achieve a Vietnam free from fighting and domination, Nixon put forward a specific withdrawal proposal. As soon as agreement can be reached, all non-South Vietnamese troops would begin withdrawing. Over a period of 12 months by agreed-upon stages the major portions of all U.S., Allied and other non-South Vietnamese forces would be withdrawn. The remaining foreign forces would move into designated areas at the end of that time and they would not engage in combat. The President made it clear that one of his condition was that North Vietnamese troops currently' in Cambodia and Laos must also be withdrawn into North Vietnam. At the same time Nixon said North Vietnam would not have to admit that it has troops in will provide laboratory space for an enlarged program in Chemistry. Other new buildings under construction are a Child Development Center, a Business Administration buflding, , an addition to the Carolina Inn, and the Greenlaw English building next to Lenoir. All of these buildings will cost the University about $15 million this year, almost $5 million more than last year. They should all be completed by spring of 1970. B udget Approved; Some Cuts Seen A budget of $257,071.90 was approved yesterday by Alan Albright, student body president The Legislature budget allows for a $2000 unappropriated balance. Earlier reports erroneously stated that the budget was in the red by $1,928.10. A check in calculations revealed, however, that the $1,928.10 included in the budget figures for a freshman handbook comes not from Legislature funds but rather CU, South Vietnam so long as it gets them out. The Hami delegation in Paris has never admitted to liaving troops in South Vietnam. Nixon suggested that an international body should help arrange supervised ceasefires and as soon as possible elections could be held to determine the future South Vietnamese government. He also proposed that arrangements be made "for the earliest possible release of prisoners of war on both sides." A White House official told reporters shortly before Nixon delivered his address that prospects of cutting back U.S. forces from their current 542,000 level in Vietnam on a unilateral basis in the near future was good. Nixon hinted at this in his speech when he said that Gen. Creighton W. Abrams, U.S. commander in Vietnam who conferred with the President on Monday, had reported progress in training the South Vietnamese armed forces. Downtown a new coed Granville Towers building is going up. There are numerous apartment complexes which should relieve some of the housing problems. For all these projects there are not so many new parting lots. In the future, however, a lot may be built behind Hinton James. The Traffic Office hopes that an improved bus system will help the transportation and parking problems. from the money included general surplus. The is therefore not m the Legislature budget. Along with the budget. Student Body Treasurer Gufl Waddell presented Albright with suggestions for small cuts in the budget to allow a larger unappropriated balance. Waddell said the cuts would involve nothing "supercontro versial." Student Government receives $259,000 from student funds. m 'Photo by Woody Clerk
