" - The announcement, distributed in neighboring Kenya by Somalia's national news agency, said the invasion started shortly before dawn when Ethiopian infantry units crossed the border and Ethiopian warplanes bombed at least five towns in the northwestern region of the northeast African country. The Somali claims could not be immediately confirmed by independent sources. f In Washington, government officials were initially skeptical about the size of the military operation, saying reports of fighting had been received but nothing of the magnitude being reported by Somalia. .. ;. The Somali ambassador to the United States, Abdullahi Ahmed Addou, reported the invasion to the State Department at midday Wednesday. Ethiopia, with the aid of Soviet advisers and Cuban troops, defeated Somalia in a war over eastern . Ethiopia's Ogaden desert region last year. At that time, regular Somali troops fought alongside ethnic Somali guerrillas who were seeking to unite the Ogaden with Somalia. Since then, the guerrillas have continued a hit-and-run war against the Ethiopians, and Ethiopia has charged Somalia was still infiltrating troops into the desolate region. Somalia has long claimed the Ogaden region. . Ethiopia said earlier this month its patience was wearing thin over fighting in the Ogaden. It accused Somalia of having regular military forces in the territory and warned of possible retaliatory action. Western diplomatic sources in Mogadishu, the Somali capital, said recently there was evidence of an Ethiopian army buildup at Jijga, a tank base located about 60 miles west of the Ethiopia-Somalia boarder. The diplomats, however, doubted Ethiopia would cross the frontier to-strike at possible rebel base camps inside Somali territory. The Soviet-backed regime in Addis Ababa also has problems to the north, where secessionists in Eritrea province have waged a sporadic guerrilla campaign for more than a d !"' A The Somali announcement distributed in Nairobi said, "At 5:30 this morning," 10:30 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Abyssfciisn . (Ethiopian) forces launched a land and air invasion against the "northwest region of the Somali Democratic Republic. "The infrantry invasion forces crossed the border along a ... front stretching between the towns of Kalabayd and Borama." That would put the fighting about 40 miles from the provincial capital of Hargeisa. The communique said Somali military forces countered the attack and inflicted heavy losses on the Ethiopians, but fighting was still in progress. (p- I K ii - 4? . .

Cy LINDA EltOWN Staff Writer For the second time this year, - Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. has notified the N.C. Utilities Commission that it plans to apply for a rate increase, and for the second time this year, Student Government and the Residence Hall Association are making plans to fight it. "We feel like Chapel Hill should petition for special consideration in regard to installation charges because of our special case," Student Body President Bob Saunders said..." Any type of increase in the basic rate should suggest an increase in the services rendered." Southern Bell plans to present the new increase to the Utilities. Commission by Sept; 2, and it also plans to meet with Student Government and RHA on Sept. 8, to explain why the increase is needed. The most recent increase went into effect on Feb. 21. If Student Government and RHA decide the increase is too high or unnecessary, they plan to distribute petitions protesting the increase and go before the commission as they did last year. After the groups presented a petition with 5,000 signatures to the commission last year, it rejected Southern Bell's request and eventually approved an increase that was only 56 percent of the amount requested. Southern Bell's installation fee is $15.20 if students turn in connect cards in their dorms and $18.20 if they go through the Southern Bell office. The monthly service fee is $7.90. "The phones are already installed and all it takes is a flip of the switch (in dorms)," Saunders said. "First of all we need to see the rate proposal, but given the past history of Southern Ball rate increases, I don't think the students will agree that an increase is justified." Any increase Southern Bell makes will conform with national anti-inflation guidelines said Bob Jackson, public relations manager for the Charlotte-based company. It's a situation that almost all businesses find themselves in today," he said. "We are simply riot immune to iniiaticn." He said it is hard to tell when the proposed increase might take effect, because the Utilities Commision has 270 days after it receives the request to rale on it. It may make its ruling anytime during that period. "Students should be an exception to the rule," said Peggy Leight, RHA president. "The turnover rate is every year (for students), or if students come to summer school it's more; therefore they (Southern Bell) are getting a lot more money off this campus. "I don't think that students should have to p3y every single year to have their phone connected," she said. Some members of RHA have suggested that UNC look into using a University-owned phone system again, she said. Until April 1, 1977, the University owned electricity, water and telephone utility systems. The UNC Board of Trustees unanimously agreed to sell them for $41.5 million because they had become difficult to operate. CPA exam U N C fa lis to Qewemth By STEPHANIE BIRCHER Staff Writer ' " The results of the May N. C. Certified Public Accountant Examinatin show that the percentage of UNC-Chapel Hill students who passed the examination has decreased markedly since last year and that the University made a poorer showing than several state schools. - . Only 36.2 percent of the UNC students who attempted the exam last May passed, a 16 percent decrease from the May 1979 exam. Chapel Hill's passing percentage was second only to Wake Forest University's in 1979, but this year the University falls seventh behind UNC-Charlotte, N. C. State University, Wake Forest University, Duke University, UNC-Greensboro, and Elon College. Harold Q. Langenderfer, a UNC accounting professor, attributed the decline to the inflated student-faculty ration in the UNC School of Business Adminisration. "The class sizes are too large, and we don't have enough faculty members," he said. "We've had to use too many graduate students teaching classes. We don't,offer enough classes. These are the main reasons." - See CPA on page 2 Results of May CPA - exam Percentage School attended Passes Attempts passed Lenoir Rhyne 9 42 21.4 UNC-Chapel H3 11 224 , 34.2 , Belmont Abbey 3 41 7J UNC-Chariotte 131 252 52 Western CaroUni 4 39 13J N.C.

A contract is out cn your life and this may be your assassin. A shot is fired. The hit is a success. But relax. It is all just part of a fantasy murder scheme that is becoming a fad on some of the nation's university campuses. KAOS (Killer as An Organized Sport), a game involving contract "killings," has arrived at Carolina. KAOS originated about five years ego at the University of Michigan under the name of Killer. The University of Florida adopted the name KAOS and the sport was exported to UCLA. Although contract "hits" have yet to begin in Chpd Hill, a mild mannered biology major is organizing a AVI OS Chapter at UNC. Senior Bob Whitehead, president of KAOS Centra!, transferred from the University of Mlch::,an last year and tlthough aware cf Killer, he has never been involved personally in the game.

KAOS may have a Drive res tricticDias" reimffoFce'dl By AMY PliUGII Surf Writer Drive-in facilities in Chapel Hill will remain restricted to sefvice stations and car washes as a result cf a 3-2 vote Tuesday night by the Chapel Hill Planning Board. The meeting was called by the Town Council to discuss action on two special use permit requests from Town Manager Gene Shipman, proposing construction of a NCNB branch on the Chapel Hill-Durham Boulevard and a Wachovia Bank branch on South Estes Drive. The permit requests seek approval for the construction and addition of drive-in services to present facilities., The Town Council deferred action on these requests at its Monday meeting and handed them to the Planning Board as the sole agenda item for Tuesday's meeting. The board's vote upheld an April 14 decision which allowed only service stations and car washes to operate drive-ins. "This is not the best way to approach the problems concerning drive-in services," stated board member Audrey Evarts, who voted in the minority with Roscoe Reeve. Reeve said, "Absolute prohibition (of drive-in services) will either fall apart completely or be accepted; we have to deal with the equity issue." Because both NCNB and Wachovia had applied for drive-in permits prior to the April 14 decision, some Town Council members foresaw problems concerning equity in the denial of all drive-in services. In an attempt to solve the equity problem, the Planning Board upheld the earlier ruling while passing a fall-back motion to explore the possibility of excluding banks from the drive-in services prohibition. The board agreed that if banks were excluded standards "would have to be developed for the possible drive-in facilities which would handle problems relating to traffic, pedestrian safety, energy conservation, prevention of strip development and avoidance of damage to the town's appearance. The board also agreed that shopping centers would be the most feasible locations for drive-in services in the Chapel Hill area. The Town Council will meet Sept. 8 to discuss the Planning Board's recommendations. At this meeting, the council wUl take action on the drive-in "policy and consider the requests of the two area banks. 77 I I I a . t GtudemiiG face obctacle By DESOIIAII WHS CI I Surf Writer UNC-Chapel Hill students considering a career in veterinary medicine may not be able to gain entrance to North Carolina State University's School of Veterinary Medicine whea it opens next fall.
