, Viets may stay
in Laos ... long;' '-time
SAIGON-The commander of South Vietnamese troops in Laos said Sunday his
troops are prepared to stay there until the Ho Chi Minh Trail is shattered.
Communist troops attacked the northeast Laos headquarters reportedly inflicting
substantial casualties.
"It will not be a short period," said Lt. Gen. Hoang Xuan Lam, when questioned
by newsmen about the duration of South Vietnamese land operations in Laos. "We
will stay until the Ho Chi Minh Trail complex is completely paralyzed."
Lam's statement at Khe Sanh was contradictory to announcements by South
Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu who has said the South Vietnamese
planned a Laotian campaign of "limited duration."
Church wants total withdrawal
WASHINGTON Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, Sunday urged fellow Senate
doves to abandon efforts to legislate a deadline for President Nixon to withdraw all
U.S. troops from Southeast Asia. Instead, he called for a resolution setting total
withdrawal as a national goal.
Church said he still supported the McGovern-Hatfield amendment to impose a
Dec. 31, 1971, deadline as a "gesture" of how the Senate feels about the war. But
he said it stood ho chance of becoming law, since the House overwhelmingly
opposes it and the President would veto it even if both houses pass it.
Church, the cosponsor of the 1970 Cooper-Church amendment banning
American ground combat troops from Cambodia, is planning to offer a resolution
that would set total withdrawal from Vietnam as the national purpose of the
United States, without suggesting a fixed date.
Train fire kills 34 workers
BELGRADE-A flash fire swept through a passenger train loaded with steel
workers inside a tunnel near the central Yugoslavia town of Zenica Sunday taking a
heavy toll of life. It was Yugoslavia's worst rail disaster in seven years.
A Zenica police official said 34 bodies had been recovered by Sunday night from
the two-mile long Vranduk tunnel and it was feared the death toll would rise. A
doctor at Zenica Hospital said that of ; 1 1 3 persons taken there with burns and
smoke poisoning, 57 were detained for treatment.
The fire broke out on the Diesel locomotive hauling the nine-car train as it
entered the Branduk tunnel at about 6 a.m.
On the train were about 200 workers heading for the early shift at the Zenica
steel mills.

A favorable review is a rare thing; but
the UNC Opera Theatre's production of
"The Ballad of Baby Doe" deserves one.
"Baby Doe" is not a major opera. It is,
however, a demanding one, and it showed
what a wealth of vocal talent there is at
this University, and what dedication and
enthusiasm lurks in the depths of Hill
Hall.
The story of the work centers round
Horace Tabor, a Colorado silver magnate,
who leaves Augusta, his wife of thirty
years, in favor of Baby Doe, a young
miners' sweetheart. Ruined by the
abolition of the silver standard, Tabor
falls into penury and dies, while Baby
Doe remains faithful to his memory until
she freezes to death in one of his old
silver-mines many years later. This
dramatic plot is complemented by an
imaginative score in a slightly Broadway
idiom.
The first of the many good points
about the production was its casting.
Julian Long, as Tabor, brought great
maturity, a fine voice, and a lot of
dramatic ability to the part. Augusta, his
first wife, was played by Jean Spearman.
She was easily the most consistent
member of the cast, and the scene where

she decided not to help Tabor in his
plight was more than moving; it ws
masterfuL The role of Baby Doe requires
a major talent. Not many college students
could come near to doing it justice, but
Margaret Brookbank did just that.
Although Memorial HaH rendered her
hard to hear, she had a magnificent range
and a coloratura quality to her voice
which was at times most effective.
The principals were backed by a
supporting cast of surprising depth. There
were few, if any, weak links, and the
production as a whole was characterized
by a soli dn ess and an enthusiasm that
were remarkable for an amateur show.
Especially worthy of note were Jod
Carter, as William Jennings Bryan;
Patricia Robinson as Baby Doe's mother ;
and the mini-chorus of Tabor's four
cronies and Augusta's four friends, led by
Robert Daniel and Kirsten Falke, both of
whom deserved far greater roles. The
main chorus was tight and responsive, and
performed the ensemble scenes with a
verve and polish worthy of many
professional companies, but with a most
unprofessional and refreshing enthusiasm.
Technically, as well as artistically, the
production was of a high standard. A
simple, functional set was coupled with
highly effective lighting. Randolph
Umberger, the stage director, instilled
into the cast a dramatic ability which
matched the musical talent drawn out by
Robert Porco, ho was musical director
and conducted the orchestra, made up of
members of the University Symphony.
Under Mr. Porco s baton, they provided a
sensitive and tight backing for the singers.
For an amateur company, the UNC
Opera Theatre proved themselves to be
most proficient. "Baby Doe" was an
ambitious project, and the final product
displayed the time and effort that went
into it. Hopefully, next year will see a
comparable performance, and the
tradition started last year with The
Marriage of Figaro" will continue. Above
all, last week showed what is all too little
known; there is more to the Music
Department than meets the eye.

Today, reading with your hands is quite ac
ceptable. In fact, it's somewhate of a status symbol,
because people who read with their hands are
graduates of the Evelyn Wood Reading Synanv
ics Course. The hand, however, hasn't always
been the symbol of rapid reading. The old meth
od of teaching students to increase their reading
speed was to equip them with a reading machine.
The machine, while seemingly a good idea,
didn't live up to expectations. It couldn't slow
down when the reader ran into a confusing pas
sage. And it was too awkward to use in easy
chairs or beds.
In 1945 Evelyn Wood discovered the hand as
a device for reading faster.
Her reason for using the hand as a tool was
to "give my students the ability to read groups
of words at a time and to. increase their concen
tration so they won't have to go back and re-read
so often."
Her principle worked.
Since 1959, more than half a million people
have taken the Evelyn Wood Course and have
increased their reading speed by an average of
4.7 times.
Using the hand to read faster is a very interest
ing experience.
If you would like to try your hand at it, why
don't you come to a Mini-Lesson? In one hour's
time, we'll have you reading down the page
faster than you can imagine.
In addition, you'll take home with you a defi
nitely faster reading speed . . . one that can be
used on newspapers, magazines, correspondence,
textbooks, and technical journals. Also, we'll
tell you about some of the other things that havs
made this the most popular extra-curricular
course in the world.
It's a wild hour . And it's free.
