The combined vote of rep resentatives and guests was 27 to 6 against tre resolution. Most representatives spoke against the resolution on the basis that the draft is necessary for the maintenance of a large army and that a large army is still necessary for the defense of the country. The resolution said that the sys tem did not merit the restrictions it put on a young man's freedom to decide his own career and future.

Inman Allen, President of the Student Body, told the DTH yes terday: "I feel that this is one of the most important issues that Student Legislature will face this year. It is important because it affects the future position of stu dent autonomy. "I feel that the Student Legis lature has already grasped the significance of voting retroactive approval, and that each member of Legislature is mature enough and concerned enough with Stu dent Government to handle this j matter with solemnity and a deep spirit of judiciousness."

In closing he said, "the University of NC has tradi tionally provided the leadership for the Democratic party, from Dr. Frank Graham to Governor Terry Sanford, let us now do our part to' continue that honor and obliga tion."

Walter Schirra's six-orbit flight yesterday. Last Saturday night a National Aeronautics and Space Adminis tration official called Jenzano from Cape Canaveral at Schirra's re quest and asked Jenzano to come to the Cape to update the planet positions on the ten star charts used by Sehirra. Sehirra, like the other seven initial astronauts, has done ex tensive training at the planetarium in celestial navigation, but correc tions were needed on his charts because of previous postponements of yesterday's flight. Jenzano called his staff togeth er that night to compile the neces sary information. After complet ing his information Sunday morn ing, he left for Cape Canaveral, arriving there around midnight. Monday morning Jenzano and a NASA official made the necessary corrections to Schirra's charts. Sehirra carried ten charts, one for each half-hour delay in launch. That evening two three-way tele phone conversations were made between Jenzano, Sehirra and Maj. Gordon Cooper, back-up pilot for yesterday's flight. Jenzano said he was also con ducted on a tour of the Cape, and "had the thrill of being put into an actual capsule and the plate put on to experiment the actual feeling of being in the capsule." Jenzano explaned that the celes tial navigation learned at the planetarium is used in orbital flight to "check the yaw and per haps the roll motion of the cap sule. Pitch and roll can be fixed on the horizon, but at present he can only check the yaw motion on a fixed celestial object." On his last visit to Chapel Hill with Astronaut Cooper, August 25, Sehirra said he felt that his train ing here in celestial navigation and with centrifuge equipment in Pennsylvania were the two most important aspects of his training. The Vice President of the Stu dent Body and Speaker of the Leg islature, Mike Lawler, said, "The question of the validity of the sum mer school govenment is especial ly important in terms of the Hon or Council, and that the Student Legislature should consider it in terms of justice during the sum mer and in terms of the necessity of a year-round student govern ment. "However, I think that although this is an important issue, the Leg islators and the campus should guard against blowing up a tech nicality out of poportion." The issue in questionis that the summer school student govern ment failed by oversight to get legislative approval last spring, which, by the Constitution means that the government never legally existed. President George Kornegay ex tended an invitation to all members of the UNC-YDC to attend and par ticipate in the annual State YDC convention will provide an excel lent opportunity for University YDC members to meet other active coUege YD's for a mutual exchange of interest and ideas."

Every fall the editors of our an nual hire photographers to come to Graham Memorial and take pic tures of every student for publi cation in the spring edition of the yearbook. They draw posters an nouncing photo schedules for each class. They print notices in The Daily Tar Heel, circulate handbills, and run sreaming through the quads and fraternity houses so eve ry student will be made aware that it's "now or never" if he cares to be pictured among those in attend ance at the University of North Carolina. So what happens? Yack editor Louis Legum says, "Our pleas for students to drop by and pose seem to be the signal for everybody to Dellinger Discusses Open Trials Walter Dellinger, chairman of the men's honor council, discuss ed opening honor trials to DTH re porters Tuesday evening with the Student Party. Dellinger reaffirm ed his stand that all trials should be open to at least two reporters. The reporters would be allowed to report all proceedings except the names of defendants and witnsses. Dellinger spent most of the two hour meeting answering questions the bulk of which concerned the likelihood of actually concealing the names of defendants if the de tails oftrials were made public. In the past trials have been open to reporters only on the request of the defendants. There have been only three cases openly reported in the last two years. Chancellor Aycock said he thought it best not to comment on the proposal. A resolution advocating that the trials be opened to two reporters from the Daily Tar Heel will also go before, the Di-Phi for debate next Tuesday.

Astronaut Is In Space For Nine Hours ABOARD USS KEARSARGI-: ( UPI ) Astronaut Walter M. Sehir ra, Jr. flashed around the earth six times Wednesday, splashed down in a bull-eye's midPacitic landing and was picked up safely to cap America's longest and highest space flight. "Beautiful . . . Beautiful . . . Beautiful" were the words of sail ors aboard the USS Kearsarge as the capsule floated down dead ahead of the big carrier. They echoed Schirra's own words as he whirled through space in the Sigma 7 on a trip that went smoothly from start to finish ami ended in the wgisr just two min utes later than the scheduled time. He was taken aboard at 6:09 p.m. EDT. The 39-year-old Navy command er blasted off from Cape Cana veral at 3:15 a.m. EDT and splashed down at 5:28 p.m. EDT after a U.S. record flight of 9 hours and 13 minutes. The precision journey surpassed the three-orbit flights of previous U. S. astronauts. As Sehirra hurtled earthward at conclusion of his spectacular flight, astronaut spokesman L.t. Col. John (Shorty) Powers said the Kearsarge had. a radar fix on the capsule and it was coming "right down the barrel. The landing area was about 273 miles northeast of Midway IsUuui 'where an armada of ships and j airplanes converged for the pick up.

Sehirra chose to remain inside the capsule until it was hoisted to the deck of the carrier. The capsule was lowered onto a cushion, mae of mattresses, on the carrier's main flight deck. Wearing a wide smile. Sehirra climbed out of his Sigma 7's hatch at 6:14 p.m. EDT to cheers of officers and men of the Kearsarge. After greetings from Navy and National Aeronautics and Space Administation officials, Sehirra walked to medical facilities in the hangar, a deck below the flight deck. his full six orbits, gazed up at his 63-foot parachute as it floated his capsule to the ocean landing and exclaimed "what a beautiful sight." With the capsule bobbing in the water, the astronaut reported he was in "fine shape." His perfect descent left him very near the key recovery ship. the U.S.S. Kearsarge. The big ves- sel immediately dispatched its htl- icopters to recover America's lat- est space hero. The Kearsarge reported the cap sule was upright, bobbing in a very light sea. Condition for re covery of the astronaut could not have been rrtjre ideal a fine climax to what was the most suc cessful U. S. space flight to date. Sehirra decided to wait in the capsule until the Kearsarge could arrive and pick it up. During this time, the helicopters hovered over it. The astronaut started his des cent toward the water at 5:07 p.m., EDT, by firing the retro rockets that started slowing down the speed of his craft. In a little over five minutes he dropped from his orbital speed of 17,560 miki, an hour to about 270 miles an hour. "This is a sweet little bird," the spaceman reported from his cap sule as it bobbed in the Pacific. Project Mercury officials said Sehirra also advised' them at that point th-'. he was "dry, cool and comfortable." Sehirra, whose flight altitude ranged from 100 miles high to 176, carried off the tricky lar.dir phase of his journey with the sarre aplomb that marked his record- setting flight from the moment cf the perfect takeoff. Early in the flight Sehirra reported a "beauti ful" performance." All reports fom the epochal trip indicated that the next U. S. space mission would be an all-day 17 or 13 orbit flight early next year. Then come two-man flights ar.d finaly the trip to the moon in th:., decade.
