On Tuesday March 17, the Symposium is pleased to have scheduled Senator mund Muskie (D-Maine). senator Muskie will speak on "Air and Water Pollution: Abuse and Control." Senator Muskie has served as a Senator since 1958 and Duquesne, Oklahoma, Loisville, Army, Utah, Georgetown, Miami (Ohio), Cincinnati and Manhattan. A tournament spokesman indicated that either North Carolina State, or Duke would also be invited from the ACC, and the final spot might go to Tennessee, Massachusetts, Santa Clara or Pacific. There will be plenty of excitement with Charlie Scott and Pete Maravich playing under the same roof, Madison Square Garden. This match-up is the realization of every basketball fan's dream: to see the two best college basketball players in the country against each other. While the official draw is not known, the possibility of a confrontation exists because both teams are not seeded. Besides Scott and Maravich, the strong field also headlines two other outstanding collegians. Junior Dean Meminger, stand-out for eighth ranked Marquette, and Georgia Tech's Rich Yunkus, have both received All-American mention. Scott, averaging over 27 points a game, has a chance to break Lenny Rosenbluth's all-time UNC scoring total of 2045 points. Right now, Scott is only one point behind Larry Miller's 1984 points and needs only 62 more to equal the mark set back in 1955-57. For the 18-8 Tar Heels it will offer another chance to prove they can play good basketball and to strongly represent their conference. It will also allow the three seniors, Scott, Eddie Fogler and Jim Delany to finish their college career at their home, New York. Talk rooKs degree from the University of Wisconsin.

The evening of March 19 Who IS this guy? .Helps Tie At Murdoch Center For Children about 50 students participated in the program. Most are volunteers, but some work as an alternate requirement for an upper-level psychology course. Cecil Green, director of volunteer services at Murdock, said the program has been set up on the departmental level for three years. He added that volunteers from UNC had been helping before then. "It is up to the individual what he wants to do," said Miss McLaurin. She said students help out in many areas including physical therapy, child management, unit for blind milti -handicap because "the workers had alwavs seen the University as a source of security.' Gaskin added several workers rejected possible employment because they could not start at $1.80 an hour, the wage scale of the food service.

To date he has sponsored 12 Acts and Resolutions to improve the quality of the nation's water and air resources. He says, "When old problems no longer yield to old answers, we must be ready and able to adopt new answers. When the inexorable movements of events and of economic and political forces generate new forces, generate new problems, we must be ready and able to recognize e and do something about Metardedl ped, rehabilitation department, social services, and training and education. About the only requirements a student, Miss McLaurin reported, are . patience, time and interest. Al! volunteers work closely with Murdock supervisors who guide and advise students when needed. Students working in physical therapy work with the physically handicapped retarded children in preparing parties and recreational activities for them. The program has been expanded to reach many children who have The efforts of the Faculty Council, led by Gaskin, came as a result of last fall's strike settlement between Saga and the unionized work force. As part of that agreement, the University was to aid in the placement of cafeteria workers laid off due to decreasing food service business. Gaskin .said the faculty's effort in finding employment for the 45 wqrkers "fulfilled a moral obligation" and reflected "sincere interest" in rectifying any injustices. 17 will be given to Dr. Ansley Coale, who will listen to tapes of all the other lectures and then conclude the symposium with a "synthesis", qualified with his own opinions. Dr. Coale is currently director for the Institute for Population Research in Princeton, N J. He is a William Church O shorn Professor of Public Affairs and a Professor of economics at Princeton.

They help children ranging in age from 6 to 25, all requiring personal attention. All children in the unit are ambulatory, and cannot talk and are just beginning to tend to their own basic needs such as dressing and brushing their teeth. Students help by offering supplemental recreation, basic play experience, structured nursery and kindergarten experience, personal hygiene counseling, self-help and work maintenance. Other students work as aides in the social services department visiting the cottages and working in small group situations with the residents there.

The Drug Symposium is designed to increase understanding of drugs through films, speakers, and informal discussions. "The purpose of the Symposium is to start people talking and thinking about drugs," said Mike Padrick, a member of committee. groups, the Symposium Several student faculty and administration are sponsoring the five-day drug awareness Symposium. "You Can't Grow a Green Plant in a Closet", a film dealing with the growing experimentation and harsh penalties of marijuana usage, will be shown on the second day of the symposium at 3 and 7 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Carolina Union. It is estimated that 10 million Americans have experimented with marijuana and, in most states , such experimentation would command a felony conviction with a sentence of two to 10 years. Many experts now feel that such harsh penalties were established at a time when little was known about drugs and youth today and now supporting this position by smoking pot. "You Can't Gow a Green Plant in a Closet" delves into the facts of marijuana usage. Is it a narcotic? Does it lead to heroin usage and addiction? This film assembles many of the country's top drug experts for a contemporary, scientific presentation on marijuana and serves as a basis for obtaining accurate information.

To Leary, LSD is a sacrament. He defines a sacrament as something which enables one to penetrate the mysteries around man by changing the nervous system. He also warns "acid" is a gamble. Lettvin states that the visions are not worth the loss of ability to make critical judgments. Dr. Paul Fiddleman, Dr. John Ewing, Chip Upjohn. Dave Jones and Dr. Myron will head a panel discussion 'Telling It Like It Is", at 8 p.m. in the Great Hall Tuesday, following the film. "Children of Synanon", an experimental film which was incorporated in the Genesis series, will be shown Wednesday in 202-201 of the Union at 3 p.m. and in Memorial Hall at 7 p.m. Members of Synanon, an organization which tries to rehabilitate drug addicts, will conduct an informal discussion session which will be followed by a coffee hour. Synanon was founded by Charles E. Dederich, a former alcoholic who modeled his group therapy session after Alcoholics Anonymous. Synanon's doors have always been open to anyone. Seventy-five percent of its support comes from private donors and the rest from its operation of gas stations and sales of stationery. The only government help that it receives is an annual $100,000 from the California Department of Rehabilitation. "We are trying to develop people who comprehend rather than apprehend", said Dederich, "unitive thinkers, cosmic thinkers. All of our institutions are falling to pieces. People are bored and looking for kicks..." Thursday, the final day of the symposium, a film "Flowers of Darkness" will be shown at 3 p.m. in 202-204 of the Union. Synanon staff members will meet informally with interested students and faculty members following the film. At 7 p.m. Dr. Morris Lipton will speak in Memorial Hall.
