Gordon Liddy told a full house at UNC's Memorial Hall Wednesday night, "The people of the United States seem to live a life of illusion... '.They turn away from the harsher aspects of life," he said, citing the state of the country's volunteer army as an example of the United States' avoidance of reality. Liddy labeled the volunteer U.S. Army a failure and said the Soviet Union should be resisted by increasing military readiness. "The Soviet Union is not our adversary they are our enemy, and that is reality," he said. ' Liddy gave the audience of about 1,600 an array of facts supporting his claims of an inadequate army, and throughout his speech warned about the public's naive view of the world, drawing attention to President Jimmy , .Carter's. fc reign policy. - t Participation and a good education are the only ways to dispel the illusions . of unreality, Liddy said throughout his address. "I didn't like what was going on in the '60s, so instead of sitting around on the curb bitching, I went out and did something about it," he said. Liddy underscored the importance of a good education as the key to success and to his survival. "I never realized the value of a good education until I went to prison, and because of that education, I was feared by the guards and held in awe by the prisoners," he said. "I do not believe in being a victim." Liddy spent four years'of a 21 -year sentence in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal. Although, critical of Carter, he declined to endorse Republican Ronald Reagan and expressed .-his belief that Richard Nixon had a successful presidency. "I don't know if Reagan will be elected because of such a volatile voting public, but anything win be better See LIDDY on page 3 BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Iraq declared it will stop fighting Iran for four days starting Sunday but will return any Iranian fire. The new Iraqi truce offer followed Iran's rejection of a U.N. cease-fire call and renewed air attacks by both sides at the battlefront. The Iraqi announcement was made Wednesday at the United Nations. Iraqi spokesman Salah al-Mukhtar said the dates Oct. 5-8 were chosen to allow time for consultations with Iran by the United Nations and. by an Islamic peace mission headed by President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq of Pakistan. Al-Mukhtar said that during the four-day period, "if military action is taken against us, we will return the fire." - There was no immediate reaction from Tehran to the Iraqi declaration, which came at a time when war seemed to be moving into a stalemate caused by unexpectedly stiff Iranian resistance to Iraqi forces. . The Iraqi move followed Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr's rejection of a U.N. Security Council call for an end to the war "so long as Iraq is in violation of our territorial sovereignty." In a message to U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, Bani-Sadr said appeals for a cease-fire "cannot be considered by 77.

But in Washington, State Department spokesman Jack Cannon said it was the same letter the United States publicly acknowledged a week ago and was designed to assure Iran of U.S. neutrality in the Iran-Iraq crisis. -The Americans were in their 333rd day of captivity Wednesday. Iraq said Iranian warplanes launched seven "savage" strikes in five Iraqi provinces and claimed Iraqi jets hammered oil depots and concentrations of Iranian tanks in wide-ranging attacks. After a day of tank and infantry battles, Bani-Sadr announced recapture of the Iranian border city of Mehran and the Iranian news agency said the city welcomed Iranian troops that "lifted the siege by Iraqi forces." Iran also said it pushed Iraqi invaders out of the oil port of Khorr&mshahr a day after Iranian leader n u 1 ) vn WD- . JL. n dl&GCUSQ ! Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini rejected an earlier cease fire and said Iran would not compromise until Iraqi forces were driven from Iranian soil. An Iraqi military communique said Iraq's jets hit oil depots in Ahwaz, the capital cf Iran's Khuzestan oil province, destroyed rail facilities, a bridge and an ammunition dump - in Dezful and hit Iranian tank concentrations near Ahwaz and Abedan. Iraq said Iranian warplanes attacked seven Iraqi cities, including Basra and Umm Qesr port in the south and Kirkuk and Mosul in the north. Baghdad reported 12 Iraqi civilians killed and four injured in the Iranian raids. Iraq said the "savage strikes" were retaliation for "defeats conceded by the Iranian forces on the battlefront." Bani-Sadr's announcement that Mehran had been recaptured was the second Iranian claim of territorial gains in the 10th day cf fighting. Mehran is in the center of the disputed Iran-Iraq border, about 200 miles northwest of Khorramshahr. Iran also said in street-to-street fighting its forces, reported to be spearheaded by revolutionary guards, had driven Iraqi troops cut of Khorramshahr, a key oil port near the giant Abadan refinery that has been ablaze since the outbreak cf hostilities. if By ELAINE McCLATCHY SJafr Writer Kathy Williams, a white UNC junior, said her reason for joining the BlackWhite Discussion Group sponsored by the Carolina Union last year was simple: "I had a very minimal relationship with blacks in high school. I just wanted to change that." This year's BlackWhite Discussion Group had its first meeting Tuesday at the Chapel of the Cross, said Larry Ellis, '-chairnsn.. -of -: the ;.- Human Relations "Ccmmlttee Tor the" Carolina '''Activities Board. The first group was created last year by .Denise Barnes, a UNC psychology department faculty member, who formed the sessions to facilitate interaction between blacks and whites on campus. Williams spoke enthusiastically about the group she was in last year. She said she would like to see more such groups ' on campus. But Lawrence Turner, a black senior and former member of the group, had a different reaction. Turner said the group was good in some ways, but in other respects, it was a waste of time. He said although he felt the group as a whole had gotten a good deal out of the discussions, he was displeased with his personal progress. "When I think about it, I feel that I've slid back when I try to apply it to everyday life," Turner said. He said he felt he did try a little harder to see whites and others as individuals. But in everyday life, he finds it difficult, he said. C3 fSmttOMS The group worked to understand cultural and social differences and similarities. Members used role-playing to see the, conflicts between blacks and whites from both sides. For example, Williams played the part of a white girl who was dating a black man and meeting his parents for the first time. Both Williams and Turner felt the role playing was effective. Segregation of different systems within the University also was discussed. Group members talked about the fraternity and sorority systems -"extensively. One member suggested one of the white fraternities and one of the .black sororities get together and have a dance. . As the group grew closer, members began to discuss more personal problems. One black man who had many white friends, told about the time he was invited on a ski trip with them. He said he was afraid he would look out of place, so he kept making up excuses to get out of going, Williams said. After the group discussed the problem, members suggested different solutions. "We would put ourselves in his place and decide what we would do," she said. Williams said she was surprised at the amount of interest her friends showed in the group. "All the girls on my hall were just waiting to hear what happened," she said. One goal of the discussion group participants was to extend what they learned into other parts of their lives.

By FRANK WELLS .Ufr W riier Faced with double-digit inflation and dwindling funds, Duke University has begun a program designed to cut the size of the school and increase financial efficiency. The plan, called retrenchment, requires the elimination of entire programs. "What we are trying to accomplish i to do more with a limited money supply," said Marion Pcavcy, director of planning at Duke. To do this, he said, the trustees are following recommendationt made by Chancellor A. Kenneth Pc and Provost William Bevan. The recommendations included eliminating the School of Nursing and cstaMivhing in in place a nursing program designed to award degrees to people who have been away from the profev,ion but want to re-enter it. The report also recommended chrninatir.s dejrc? programs in the departments cf health, r education and recreation.

"The fact that it's Duke we're talking about makes a difference; they are a rich and respected institution and even they arc having economic problems." Ollivcr and Peavey said individuals within particular schools were dissatisfied with the retrenchment prcfara. One -nursing student reportedly wore a T-shirt reading "I'm being retrenched." The answer is state support of private schools, Peavey said. "They should support us at least as much as they support students uho f to state schools. If they don't and thee private schools can't continue to operate, everyone will suffer," he said. Pcavey'satJ infir.ion hit private 'schools hinder than public institutions "because we don't have the tax fcr e to fall back cn that thty have."
