Chapel Hill police chief William Blake, Thursday said only a small amount of marijuana was found in the room. , Blake said neither of the room's residents were in the room at the time of the search, ; but two persons were found smoking marijuana when the police entered with a search warrant. vf Although no charges have yet been filed, the case is still under investigation, Blake said. The room's other resident, who has left, town, is wanted for questioning. "The one roommate who was named on y the search warrant but who has left called and said he would come in to the station sometime this afternoon (Thursday)," Blake said. Blake denied that there has been any intentional crackdown recently on illegal drug use or trafficking. Chapel Hill police have arrested five persons on drug charges and searched two dorm rooms in the past week.

"We had some dealers in our room waiting for us while we went to get some marijuana from our buyer," he said. "We got a pretty good amount enough to send you to jail for a good while and it took us a long time to get it. So on the way back, 1 got to thinking, and realized it just would not be good sense to come walking into our room with all that dope. "So we decided to call somebody we knew and have him go down to our room first and check it out. I've come close to being busted before, and so I knew from his descriptions' (of two men in the room) that they were Chapel Hill detectives. "The cops told somebody they had found a pound, but we just don't keep that amount of pot in our room. J had some study speed because I have a couple of papers due, but besides a little bit of pot, that was all we had. "I finally got back to the room around 12:45. 1 unlocked the door and saw what a mess my room was. "My roommate will probably turn himself in, but he doesn't have any money, so he's trying to scrape some up first for bail." Steve Lytch, third floor resident adviser, said the police were already in the room when he arrived. "Captain Pendergrass (of the Chapel Hill police department's detective division) was kind of gruff, like he usually is, and he was reluctant to show us the search warrant," he said. "Charlie Miller (North Campus men's residence director) was there, too, and we watched them search the room. They tore a closet door off its hinges to get in the closet, but they handled it fairly business-like," Lytch said. survival symposium politically.

Amory, a columnist for Saturday Review World and chief critic for TV Guide magazine, is the founder and president of the Fund for Animals and the author of Man Kind? Our Incredible War on Wildlife. "We're not in the endangered species area," he said. "It's not the pretty picture business. But there's got to be someone in the anti-cruelty field." Amory said his book begins with a "Bunny Bob" he witnessed in Harmony, N.C. There rabbits were driven to the center of a field and clubbed to death or wounded by men, women and children. He said he then proposed a "Hunt the Hunters Hunt Club " a satirical thrust which aimed at the rationale hunters give for the sport. The club wanted to shoot the hunters for the same reason the hunters shot wildlife: "We were going to shoot them for their own good. But we weren't trying to exterminate, them, we were trimming the crop. They Chips! HI".!; North CsrcHna, Frtcfsy, April 3, 1075 ( Beyond. Dr. Edward Azar Is shown here planning the Peace Science Societies International Forum on "Beyond Survival." The program begins at 7:30 Sunday at Kill Hall. Speakers Include Dr. Azar, Alan Newcombe, David Bell and William Eckhardt. Feminist ideas topic of symposium panel by Jeanle Hanna . Staff Writer Feminist ideology overshadowed Survival Symposium concerns Thursday when Ti Grace Atkinson, Dr. Susan Bram and Madeline Janover met for a panel discussion on the topic "Women and Children First." Bram, a - social -psychologist anci population researcher, examined the relationship between the population plannning movement and the radical needs of women. "The population crisis has been feeding the crisis mentality," she said. "It threatens the hopes of oppressed groups who are struggling. The crisis mentality reorders priorities." "Female existence is threatened," she said, criticizing demographers for discussing population control without regard for females and sexuality. "The only way we can make population planning our field is to take over the field, take our bodies back and drop class distinctions," Bram said. Atkinson,' a radical feminist theorist, questioned women's relationship to the Survival Symposium. "To most women survival is now," she said. " 'Women and children' are catch-words for chivalry and the chivalry ends when you separate the two." Women are treated merely as child-bearers. "1 read about babies being flown out of Vietnam, but no women. Men would, probably follow the children if there was a choice. Women would probably come last if they came at all." "1 learned in 1970 that unless women -control the state they can't control their bodies," Atkinson said. "Essentially the Supreme Court ruling on abortion was a triumph for population control, not feminists, because the emphasis of abortion laws is still on the state of the fetus, which 1 call a parasite." Janover, journalist for Off Our Backs, a breed like flies." Amory lampooned sportsman's magazines such as Field and Stream and famous hunters like Jack O'Connor ("He shoots everything I'm not sure about his mother.") He called other wildlife organizations, such as the National Wildlife Federation, apologists for wildlife slaughters. "I maintain that the animals of this country are managed by those with a vested interest in them; not just by hunters but by the guns and ammo industry. I think the wildlife associations are run by the guns and ammo industry." In effect, there are not anti-cruelty laws in the United States, he said. Those in existence are 100 years old and make no distinction between wildlife and domestic animals. He cited the case of a man in the Midwest who shot 150 eagles from an airplane and was fined $50. Despite the obstacles, Amory said he believes his Fund for Animals can make meaningful changes. , "I think we're going to be able to effect some real changes," he said. "It's going to be a life work for people who want to do this work, very frustrating work. But I think we'll have some wonderful victories.' 4 f Survival feminist newspaper, outlined the goals of the women's movement as "creating a society lree from oppressive power relationships" and "working together as sisters in an army to bring change." "The women's movement isn't monolithic and the developments within the movement don't happen in a vacuum " Janover said. . She warned against letting the means of? 1 gaining power become an end, which happened when suffragettes in the early part ol this century gave up the fight for equality after gaining the vote. ' "We must rediscover a woman's culture," she said, "but it is difficult because women are divided by race, class, age and nationality." In vet school controversy Court battle may arise by Bruce Henderson Staff Writer A court battle between the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) and the Consolidated University of North Carolina, over a proposed veterinary school at N.C. State University, appears imminent, John Sanders, UNC vice-president for planning, said Thursday. The UNC Board of Governors proposed the four-year school at Raleigh last fall, rejecting a bid by predominately black North Carolina A&T University. Consolidated University President William C, Friday has endorsed the proposals. HEW's Office of .Civil Rights sent Friday a letter last week asking the board to suspend plans for the school until a second racial impact study can be completed. HEW said if the school is built at Raleigh, a similar facility should be provided at A&T. If the legislature appropriates the money for the NCSU school, HEW will probably seek an injunction halting construction plans until a settlement is reached, he said. Sanders said he did not think it was sound to base planning decisions on racial grounds rather than on educational considerations. "The ultimate issue here is what degree of authority HEW has to prescribe and circumscribe the educational decisions of UNC," he said. The Board of Governors has not met since President Friday received the HEW letter. The board will meet tomorrow, Sanders said, but will probably not discuss the vet school until its April 1 1 meeting. "As things now stand," Sanders said, 'the board has made its decisions. At this stage, it is in the legislature's hands. It is beyond the effective authority of the board to withdraw the proposals now." The board based its recommendation on an examination of the proposed Police sEnootr to dlSsp United Press International SAIGON South Vietnamese police shot into the air Thursday to disperse Catholic rioters demanding the ouster of President Nguyen Van Thieu, increasingly criticized for his' country's battlefield defeats. President Ford in a California news conference said he ordered all available U.S. ' naval ships and giant CS A transport planes to help evacuate Vietnam refugees, including 2,000 orphans already adopted by American families. Ford also appealed to the United Nations to help the refugees. Meanwhile, fighting in Vietnam tapered off Thursday with the Communists apparently consolidating the huge territorial gains of their current offensive. Tens of thousands of refugees were blocked from entering Saigon by troops ordered to shoot-to-kill if disobeyed. The Viet Cong are ready to stop the fighting immediately, a leading Communist diplomat with close ties to the Viet Cong military delegation in Saigon, said. "I am sure that if Thieu goes, the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) will enter into immediate negotiations. The PRG is very interested in negotiating." Latest to join the demand for Thieu's ouster was Nguyen Van Binh, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Saigon who asked for an immediate and orderly change of leadership. Leading Buddhists and politicians had made similar requests earlier. In his news conference, Ford said he did not anticipate the fall of South Vietnam and . attributed the South Vietnamese confusion and retreats to Thieu's sudden decision to abandon the Central Highlands three weeks ag67 ' ' "J . - - - "A unilateral decision to withdraw created the chaotic situation that exists now," Ford said. "It was a unilateral decision by President Thieu to order a withdrawal from exposed areas." The President added, "1 still think there's an opportunity to salvage the situation in Vietnam." veterinary curriculum, the school's size, faculty and facilities, he said. N.C. State had been bidding for a four-year vet school for years, Sanders said, and A&T expressed no interest until last September. State is also three times larger than A&T and has more sophisticated science and agriculture programs, he said. UNC has asked the legislature for $4 million in funds for planning, initial staffing and renovation at Raleigh. The FWl corpor altioini to. seat mayor by Helen Ross Staff Writer Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee heads the list of appointees for four at-large seats on the Board of Directors of Student Educational Broadcasting, Inc., WCAR station manager Jim Bond announced Thursday. The corporation was formed to enable Student Government to reapply for an FM construction permit. Gerry Cohen, a Chapel Hill alderman and UNC law student, Howard Henry, director of the Student Union, and Randy Wolfe, 1974 UNC graduate and Raleigh radio newsman, are the other appointees. Formation of the corporation was necessary after the University administration rescinded two letters of support, written by Dean of Student Affairs Donald A. Boulton, for the original FM construction permit. The administration said it could not accept the ultimate responsibility for the station required by the FCC. - The four directors were chosen from the Founded Fcfcrusry 23, 1CC3 O A He expressed no such optimism about Cambodia. Choosing his words with great care. Ford spoke of the rapidly deteriorating Indochina situation for the first time since Communist forces took over 18 of South Vietnam's 44 provinces and every major city north of Saigon. "I believe .that in any case where the United States doesn't live up to its moral and treaty obligations, it can't help but have an adverse impact on other allies we have around the world," he said. "We read in European papers to the effect that Western Europe ought have some questions. "Let me say to our Western European allies, we're going to stand behind our commitments to NATO, and we're going to stand behind our commitments to other allies around the world. "But there has to be in the minds of some people a feeling that maybe the tragedy in Indochina might affect our relations to their country. I repeat, the United States is going to continue its leadership and stand by its allies." In Saigon the situation remained tense with the government banning public demonstrations and issuing shoot-to-kill orders to soldiers as thousands of refugees and disorganized soldiers fled into the city only to find themselves more feared than the Communists. The government also moved Saigon's curfew back from 10 to 9 p.m. Except for the Catholic demonstrations Saigon was quiet. Shops were open, and the streets were busy with normal traffic. But airline offices and the government immigration department were jammed as many of Saigon's estimated 6,000 Americans and dependents and thousands of other foreigners made plans for hasty departures. Saigon banks were packed with depositors withdrawing funds to see them through any emergency. The open market exchange rate of the South Vietnamese piaster fluctuated in the neighborhood of 2,000 piasters to $1, more than double the rate at the beginning of. the week. bill is still being considered by the legislature, The University will ask for another $20 million in 1977 for actual construction, Sanders said. He said projected construction costs will total from $20 million to $25 million, with yearly operating expenses of $5 million. The school is tentatively scheduled to open its doors with a limited enrollment in 1977. Eventual enrollment is expected to be about 270 students. Chapel Hill-Durham area to give the corporation a broad base that will serve the community. Bond said. Lee has served three terms as mayor of Chapel Hill and "is aware of the entire scope of the community and its needs, Bond said. He said Henry, as Union director, "has established a record of communication to student interest and needs." The four members chosen from the community will serve staggered six-year terms. Bond said. The 10 or 12 Media Board members who do not directly represent the four campus publications (Yackety Yack. Daily Tar Heel. Cellar Door and Carolina Quarterly) will comprise the remainder of the Board of Directors. "As the board is organized, we feel that we have made a substantial step toward obtaining our construction permit," Bond said. , "Student Graphics is run by a corporation. We feel comfortable in the fact that this is not the first time it has been done." Bond said he hopes the FM station will be operative by the first of next year.
