Rocket Failure Ruins Orbit Try CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) The fourth rocket failure in three days ruined a U.S. attempt Thursday to orbit a blinking beacon satellite designed to serve as a reference noint in the heavens. A Thor-Able-Star rocket carrying the 355-pound moonlet rumbled aloft at 8:06 a.m. EDT but 20 minutes later the Air Force an nounced the rocket's second stage had failed to fire The exact cause of the malfunc tion had not been determined late Thursday. It was the latest in a discourag ins? strinu of mishaps. Tuesday an attempt to send America's revolutionary hydrogen powered Centaur ' rocket on its maiden flight failed when the ve hicle and its Atlas booster ex ploded on takeoff.

Rebels Win New Defense Post In Laos VIENTIANE, Lais (UPI) The Royal Laotian government said Thursday rebel troops supported by Chinese Communists have captured the defense post of Tha Fa and are driving loyal forces toward the Thailand border town of Ban Houei. A communique issued by the de fense ministry said Tha Fa, 20 miles from Ban Houei, fell after five hours of fighting and that the "Chinese pursuit continues" toward Ban Houei on the Mokong River. U.N. military advisers in Laos have not confirmed the presence of Red Chinese troops although the Royal government frequently has reported their involvement in the Laotian fighting. Foreign diplomats who visited the rebel capital of Khang Kay said the rebels are determined to keep fighting until they win control of the army and police forces in a coalition cabinet. The government also announced that the defeated Nam Tha garri son is retreating rapidly and that Communists still are attacking Muong Nga, 35 miles north of the Royal capital of Luang , Prabang, and have -overwhelmed a govern ment garrison near Paksong in southern Laos. Both captured Nam Tha and threatened Ban Houei had formed the corner posts of a defense tri angle also touching on Vientiane. Conquest of one or both threatened all of northwestern Laos. JOAN BAEZ OFFSTAGE By CLYDE WILSON and JOHN SALTER A small shy pixie of a girl haunt ed Memorial Hall Wednesday night with folk song ballads sung in a voice so sweet it should have hurt. She was Joan Baez and she was just as shy and unaffected chatter ing in the lobby of the Carolina Inn as she was before the audience, and a little less pixie-ish. "A folk song has to come from the person who is singing it," she said. "He has to sing for himself. If he sings just to make money it is not folk music." Miss Baez is a purist. She sings folk songs without frills or attempts at "popularnng. The difference ""f : ,'; Is. Off - fir . ( "t 7 c if" t f J- 5 4 - "V. - t i A v.

Burial services will follow immediately. Both serv ices are open to the public and friends and admirers from all over the state are expected. Jake Wade, former sports writer for the Charlotte Observer and most recently Sports News Direc tor at UNC, his alma mater, died Thursday afternoon in an automo bile accident between Chapel Hill and Raleigh. Whether he died as a direct result of the accident or be cause of a heart attack is still unknown. Pallbearers at the funeral will Shy P Believes True Folksinger Sings For between commercialism and real folk music "depends on the intent of the individual," she said. She sings without gesture or fan fare in what critics have described as "an achingly pure soprano." The songs seem to come effortlessly from her throat. Her present chief interest is hill billy music. "I could listen to that mountain fiddle all night," she said, mentioning Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs with whom she made her first tour. "Earl is a wonderful man. I have seen him come home from a per formance and sing for his chil dren," she said. She named Pete Seeger, the A icers Wise Seniors Go Barefoot Today, But No Free Cuts Seniors took advantage of their free cuts yesterday morning and attended a maus meeting in Memorial Hall to select their permanent officers. In the afternoon the senior class was treated to a party at ihc Patio with Doug Clark's "The Hot Nuts" Combo supplying the entertainment. Reduced rates on beer and good 'twisting" were the bill for the. '62 grads. Today will be "Barefoot Day" for seniors and the twa "'senior days" will be culminated at tonight's Hoenig's Cabin party. No free cuts will be allowed today. Presiding at the class meeting was Senior Class President Kay Farris who introduced the other Senior Clas oflicers Ward Mars lander, Wade Hargrove and Kathy Fulenwider. Farris then introduced Bob Bilbro, chairman of the Class Gift Committee. Bilbro announced that the committee recommended a donation of approximately $600 to furnish a memorial room in the new student union. A move to accept the recommendation was made by Bill Harris and the motion was unanimously passed. Bill Shipp then explained the function of the Alumni Association and asked that as many . seniors as possible join the association for the initial fee of $1. See Man,, Pg. Three - t -Si!

Greenbriar boys, Bill Elliot, and Jimmy Driftwood as some of her favorites among folk singers. Asked whether her ability to adopt perfectly the proper accent for the song she is singing comes naturally, she said, "I just listen to the music for a few minutes." "I once sang rock 'n roll in school to make friends," said the Mexican-Irish girl who was born in Boston and lived in New York and California. "I like college audiences, I guess because I can sing to people who are more nearly my age," she said. "And there are always a few older people who appreciate it." She is 21 years old. ' K six f ; .

Two Charlotte newspapermen, Julian Scheer and Bob Quincy, have donated funds to the UNC School of Journalism for a Jake Wade Scholarship. Both Scheer and Quincy have sent checks to Dean Luxon of the Journalism School to start the fund from which worthy students plan ning a career of sports writing may be assisted and rewarded. The Wade Scholarship will be awarded by the faculty of the Journalism School on the basis of ability and need. She has been under great pres sure to exploit her singing com mercially she says. She only gives performances . for two months in the year. Reminded that she had been very hard to find, Miss Baez looked at her companion and smiled shy ly. "We sneaked off to see the Duke campus," she confessed. "It's lovely." We asked Miss Baez, who moves and talks with a natural grace, if she had ever had a problem with stage fright. "Oh, yes!" she answered. "It was a nice interview," she said as we left. Self ced At Party Toni If i 9' i - I: , & 'J i i f u. t f .A t i V1 4 -"-Mr - -? . . . Phi Beta Kappa.

CWC-Pan-Hel To Sponsor Melon Feast A Watermelon Cut, co-sponsored by the Carolina Women's Council and the Panhellenic Council, will be held on May 17 for all university women students. "As far as we know this is this first event that has been held for all the women on campus, and Pan hellenic felt it was time for every one t0 get together," said Juiie Latane, projects chairman for Pan hellenic. "There will be no men al lowed!" she added. "And I hope all campus women will take ad vantage of this unique get-together." The Panhellenic Council is sup plying the watermelons for the event which will be held from three to five on Mclver lawn, or in case of rain in the Tin Can. Dress will be informal and Women's Resi dence Council has given permission for girls to cross campus in ber mudas without a raincoat for this event. Music and entertainment will be provided for the Cut, according to Julie. "If this event is successful and we hope it will be, we want the Watermelon Cut to become an an nual project." CVVC President Shelby Purser has urged that all dormitories give their utmost support to this event. "The purpose of the project is to unite all women students on cam pus," said Shelby, "and CWC feels that in this way communication be tween those women living in dorms and those living in sorority houses should be strengthened." Of the 1200 women students on campus, Shelby expressed a de sire that at least 800 come to the Watermelon Cut and "take a good break before exams." Student Party There will be an important meet ing of the SP in the TV room at GM Monday, April 14 at 8:00 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to elect members of the Advisory Board.
