'UN Faces Immediate Bankruptcy9 UNITED NATIONS, N. Y- Acting Secretary General Thant urged the General Assembly Monday to take immediate action to save the United Nations from "imminent bankruptcy." Thant said the organization's deficit will reach $170 million by next June unless drastic changes are made in the present financial system. He told the assembly's budgetary committee that the financial diffi culties which have confronted the United Nations during the past several years "have become so serious as to now threaten the ability of the organization to carry out its primary responsibilities and ap proved programs."

A survey by the board's Depart ment of Curriculum Study and Re- search reported that local school sunerintendents were enthusiastic about new programs being of fered. In the field of library services, one school superintendent was quoted as saying "these improve ments have come because more librarians have been employed and because of the increased appro priation for library books and sup plies."

The most frequently mentioned improvement, however, was the attitude of teachers, the survey report said. "There is a better spirit among our teachers since they feel they are being paid a fair salary and they appreciate it," one adminis- itrator said. The pay increases also have brought in more and better teach ers, according to the report. Some units reported that some trained personnel returned to teaching or came back to North Carolina because of increased teacher salaries. Other improvements attributed to the increased appropriation were in the number of courses of fered, public interest and support and interest and attitude of the students. us Briefs Freshman class publicity com mittee will meet Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in Woodhouse Room, GM.

The committee, presently operat ing under the executive branch of student government, also will seek legislative recognition. Robin Britt is committee chairman. Its goals include subsidation of dorm and fraternity newspapers, the creation of a publicity agency for student government and the publication agency for student gov ernment and the publication of a student government handbook. -.Extensive Program The committee, begun in Novem ber, functions as a press agency for student government and ac cording to Chairman Britt "antici pates an extensive program for Gungus Ho publicizing its - activities and pur poses." Gungus Ho, a satiric cartoon figure, has been adopted by the committee as its associative sym bol to "add interest" to its pub licity efforts. Gungus represents a Carolinized Roman, complete with "weejuns," a Roman toga, a flat top and a Carolina umbrella Britt emphasized the fact that "the communications program is not an attempt to 'sell' student government but rather an effort to inform interested students of its activities and to create an aware ness of the many opportunities for valuable experience that it offers. Foremost Concern "Actually publicity for student government on the campus, state, and even national level is the fore most concern of this committee," he said. In order to "establish a more adequate communication with stu dents," the committee is helping establish newspapers in as many dorms and fraternities as possible. In the past week newspapers have been begun in three dorms and Britt, reported that progress is being made in other living units. The committee will assist exist ing newspapers by furnishing them with source materials and informa tion concerning Student Govern ment. Editor's Rour.dtable An Editor's Roundtable in which the editors of the papers can dis cuss problems and exchange ideas and articles is planned for the spring semester. Displays in the library, visits to living quarters, articles in the Daily Tar Heel, posters, cartoons will be used to "project student government to the campus in as interesting a manner as possible," said 'Britt. Communications with other schools will be undertaken with the intent of keeping other schools abreast of student government ac tivities at Carolina. a- ' ''' '' "" ' " :'-;"'" ": ' : v -r-' ;i ' Z m - --it " C ongo strategy if Russia signs a separate peace treaty with Communist East Germany. But there appeared to be more immediate concern over the Congo crisis and how to solve it.

Student Admits Many Robberies To NC Police A student (Marine at the Uni versity admitted a long string of robberies to Raleigh police Sunday. Richard Mattes, a freshman re siding at 116 Lewis Dorm, told Raleigh police he had committed 14 laundromat robberies in Raleigh since the first of October and had also robbed numerous other laun dromats across the state. Mattes was brought back to Chapel Hill yesterday to pick up some of his belongings. He is to be tried today at 10 a.m. in Cary and at 2 p.m. in Raleigh City Court. Major L. C. Shepard of the USMC and the University will go with Mattes to court. He will represent the Marine Corps. Mattes said he didn't need the money he got from the machines he broke into. Each robbery netted him at the most $1 to $15 dollars. Mattes bought a new car a Rambler and drove it all over the state in his search for laundro mats. He remembered the cities in which he robbed. They included Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston Salem, Burlington, Raleigh, and Danville, Va. He said he couldn't remember all the little towns which he visited. "I'd rather hit the open road until I come to a laundromat in a small town or village," he said. After Mattes is tried in Raleigh, he will face a retainer filled by Greensboro, whose laundromats al so suffered.
