Some administration work ers walked off to join the strikers.

Oil Fires Set In Venezuela By Terrorists CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI) Terrorist saboteurs dynamited two major oil pipelines late- Sunday, knocking out one-sixth of Vene zuela's production and triggering a vast fire that raged out of con trol, authorities said Monday. Police (blamed the blasts on "extremists," the name used here to identify the Communists and pro Castro terrorist groups responsible for previous anti-government out breaks. Creole Petroleum Corp., the free world's largest single oil-producing company, said the explosions occurred in virtually uninhabitated sagebrush country adjoining the Ule pumping stations. Creole was not able immediately to estimate damages but said tanker sched ules were being rearranged to meet foreign commitments from the Amuary refinery. The dynamited pipelines carry 51.1 million worth of crude oil daily. The blasts totally halted the flow in one pipeline carrying 225,- 300 barrels a day and sharply re duced the flow in a second pipe line carrying 300,000 barrels a day. The sabotage was the second ma jor blow in six months to the oil industry, backbone of the Ven ezuelan economy. Last October ter ronsts dynamited Creole power substations in Lake Maracaibo, temporarily halting production of 525,000 barrels a day. The latest explosions not only touched off a fire of huge pro portions but dumped an estimated 15,000 barrels of crude oil into an area roughly 600 yards by 750 yards before the flow could be cut off. The Ule pumping stations" are at the mouth of 140-mile-long pielines linking the Lake Maracaibo fields in the west and the , huge Amuay refinery, in northwestern ,Venezue la.

(UPI) The city of Albany, scene of bitter racial strife last summer, quietly, de segregated its formerly all-white public library (Monday on a stand up basis. There were no incidents. All tables and chairs had been re moved from the facility and pa trons were allowed only to enter, select books or other material and check them out. Only one 'Negro showed up dur: ing the early hours of the library's re-opening on a 30-day trial basis. He was Dr. W. G. Anderson, pres- ident of the integrationist Albany movement. Library officials ac cepted a membership application from him but he was informed that no membcrshp cards were being issued during the trial period.

Photo by Jim Wallace McD To i Meet May Be Start Of 2nd Symposium ; The students of the University of North Carolina may have an annual symposium program in stead of the present bi-annual one if present hopes and plans work out. Kellis Parker, chairman of the International Student Affairs Sym posium which will be held here on March 30, has expressed hopes that his program will become a long-term symposium to alternate with the Carolina Symposium's reg ular bi-annual program. The present plans, although in cluding a number of outstanding student leaders from all over the globe, can be improved and enlarg ed greatly, according to Parker. "Plans started a little late this year," said Parker, and because we didn't have enough time to get things started, we lost a number of people who would have added greatly." The program currently calls for an all-day symposium on Interna tional Student Affairs. It is proba bly the first of its kind. Parker believes that it could be enlarged to perhaps a five-day symposium the length of the current Carolina Symposium. "With two years to plan, I be lieve that this could be built into a stimulating and valuable proj ect, and that it could fill in for Ur .Carolina Symposium, in the off years," Parker said. -' The program, will serve as an experiment to test student interest and will feature all-student leaders from various countries who will participate in a full day of speech es and discussions. rary re-opening victory."

Cheap Reading Course Grows Swiftly At Testing Service By Bob Samsot The course with the fastest grow ing rate of student popularity, the non-credit, strictly voluntary read ing course is in its sixth year here. Sponsored by ' the University Testing Service, the program is probably the most inexpensive course of its kind, requiring only a two-dollar entrance fee. Most other programs of this type are ofered for about $150 for the thirty-hour course. Mrs. D. W. Campbell, a member of the reading program staff, said that the purpose of the course is not so much to increase speed and comprehension but is to increase reading flexibility, or the ability to adjust the rate of reading to different types of material. Bennett To Address Young Republicans North Carolina Legislator Thom as S. Bennett will speak to the UNC Youna Republicans Club at 7 p.m. tonight in Gerrard Hall. Carteret County native Bennett graduated from UNC in 1956 with an A.B. and received his LL.D. in 1953.

The course is run on a rating and placement basis. The student is placed at a level which is deter mined by a series of four tests which include comprehension, vo cabulary, and ability range tests, and a reading-comprehension test. These are followed by an eye test to make sure the student has no visual difficulties. The student also has a confer ence with an instructor to determ ine the problems he may want to work on. Most students take this course voluntarily, although some are re ferred to it by their advisors. Vary ing reasons serve as motivation although all students have improv ed reading skill as their common objective. The number of students taking the course to improve speed and the number wanting to improve comprehension is evenly divided at first, but later they may decide to concentrate most on some other area where they discover difficulty.

ICK Candidates Chosen By Acclamation By JOEL BULKLEY Larry McDevitt and Bob Spear man were nominated by acclama tion Monday night to head the Uni versity Party's spring slate as President and Vice-President of the Student Body, respectively. Sara Broadhurst defeated Punkin Houston, by a vote of 153-76, for the UP nomination for Student Body Secretary while Gerald Thornton was endorsed by acclamation for the position of Treasurer. Senior Class officers Charlie Shaffer for President, Sue Drennan for Secretary, Mickey Blackwell for Treasurer and Joan Haley for So cial Chairman were nominated by acclamation. Endorsement of a senior class vice-presidential can didate was postponed until Wed nesday night's UP meeting. McDevitt, a resident of Raleigh and member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, stated that since stu dent government plays a major role in the education of a student a special effort should be made to improve certain areas of it here at Carolina. McDevitt outlined a three-point pro&ranrL.which -will strengthen and improve certain areas of student responsibilities. He said (1) Stu dent government needs to be re organized. Committees should be placed under a "chain of respon sibility," with some committees being dellted and others being com bined; (2) A bi-camarel branch of student government should be established. Another body should be created to consider resolutions and thus alleviate some of the problems of Student Legislature; 3) The Honor Hystcm and Cam pus Code need to be revised, with special attention paid to the pun ishments each body can adminis ter. McDevitt noted that "strong student goverr.ment was neces- .sary to maintain student autono- student rights." He included the abolition of the apartment ru'e as ane of the steps necessary to al low student responsibility to be maintained. Spearman, a sophomore from Chapel Hill and member of Chi Psi Lodge, had been nominated .ror the position of Student Body President, but withdrew because of academic reasons. Fpearman cited a lack of stu dent interest and responsibility as the reasons that students are often excluded by the University administration from assisting in making important decisions on campus affairs, such as the loca tion of new dormitories and fu ture enrollment plan.s for UNC. He said that '"Student govern ment rrust be emancipated from acination- of itself, nd added that "improving the organization of student government and im proving communications were two fields in which student government koukl easily affcrd to move ahead in.
