By STU EIZENSTAT, BRICK OETTINGER The Naval Academy Foreign Af fairs Conference (NAFAC) en Southeast Asia, held from April 24 through April 27 was certainly a timely Conference; it was so timely, in fact, that the man who was to be our keynote speaker, Averill Harriman, was called away at the last moment to Moscow to discuss the , Laps- Crisis, a sore spot in our Southeast Asian af fairs.

Princeton Riots Involve 1,200 PRINCETON, N. J. (UPI) Princeton University President Robert F. Goheen said Tuesday that 1,200 students who rioted through the town and through the night were guilty of nothing less than inexcusable "hooliganism." He warned of "severe disciplin ary action" against all who are apprehended, including the 14 stu dents who landed in jail. Goheen used strong language at a news conference 15 hours after a howling, spring-struck mob of students left a path of destruc tion that stretched from the cam pus to the mansion of Gov. Rich ard J. Hughes, a quarter of a mile away. Damage ran in the thousands of dollars in the wild, explosive melee, in which the students blocked and stoned a passenger train, staged a panty raid, bom barded Hughes' mansion with cherry bombs, and - rolled . a one ton compressor machine down hill into Princeton traffic. Keynote n SE to the University of North Caro lina, were divided into eight round tabie discussion groups, each studying a particular area in Southeast Asia. The two round tables to which the University of North Carolino delegates were as signed were the Nationalist China, Philippines and Southeast Asia Roundtable, and the Burma, Thai land, Malaya Federation, and Singapore Roundtable. It was the job of each round table, in their six hours together each day, to study the problems of the countries included in their roundtable, and to make specific resolutions on how these problems mizht be altered or alleviated; we thus were, we felt, foreign policy makers. This would be good prac- ! tice, too, for most of the delegates u Urg O Rev.

Photos by Mike Putzel pende nts Evacuate Country An airlift of chartered, commer- ordered'cial planes was scheduled to begin ferrying the dependents Wednes day morning from Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, to Miami. The State Department said the evacuation was prompted by the "continued deterioration of the situation in Haiti and the diffi culty of insuring the lives and safety of U.S. citizens." About 220 dependents of U.S. personnel were to be evacuated. There are an estimated 1,300 pri vate American citizens in Haiti. How many of these would want to leave, the State Department said, could not be determined immed iately. There are about 160 U.S. gov ernment personnel in Haiti. They are attached to the. U.S. Embassy, to a military assistance advisory group, an Air Force mission and a naval training mission. The naval group has been ordered to leave by the Haitian government. It has halted its operations but its 30 members have not yet de parted.

Each evening, the whole group was addressed by distinguished citizens and members of the State Department, at what were called "Plenary Sessions." After the ad dress, there was a brief question and answer period preceding a re ception. It was at the reception that the delegates could really match their wits with the distinguished guests. " . . The keynote address was given at the First Plenary Session by U. Alexis Johnson, Deputy Undersec retary of State for Political Af fairs. Mr. Johnson was slick, lucid, tactful, and careful of every word he said. ; Many of the delegates felt that the tone cf Johnson's speech to us orin By VANCE BARRON , An organized demonstration against increased dorm rents and 3-man rooms is being planned for Thursday night by the University and Student Parties. Don Curtis, coordinator of the rally for the two parties, said yes terday that the rally would be "planned and orderly." Curtis said that the rally will protest the principle of building new dormitories on a 100 self liquidating policy. "This would raise dorm rents $20 to $25 to even $30," he commented. The rally will also protest 3-man dorm rooms, said Curtis who ex f S1 V " '.! ' . ; f , . - - S J J j 6 f- " ' 5- 1 S r i i 1 v .... aiti ernment. Bosch pledged he would not re sort to force against Haiti unless that country further abused Do minican rights. But he . kept the country on a war footing. In New York the United Na tions Security Council was sum moned to meet Wednesday after noon . to consider Haiti's com plaints of Dominican agression. The Haitian position was said to have strong backing of the power ful U.N. African bloc. Anderson Cut Asked WASHINGTON (UPI) Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara personally recommended that Adm. George W. Anderson be dropped as chief of naval operations, but his reasons were still a mystery Tuesday. McNamara was in Honolulu for a conference on Viet Nam Monday when the Wrhite House announced that President Kennedy was not reappointing Anderson. Gen. Cur tis E. Lemay was named to a second term as Air Force chief of staff, but for only one year in stead of the usual two. MdNamara returned to Wash ington Tuesday as reporters ques tioned his chief spokesman, Ar thur Sylvester, on the surprise shakeup in the military high com mand that jolted the Pentagon and Congress alike. was too "party-line" the United States interested in freeing the starving masses, and the bad old U.S.S.R., interested in subjugat ing them. This student audience would have none of it and actually laughed at. some of Mr.' Johnson's more obvious "propaganda." Johnson told us that Southeast Asia was merely a geographic ex pression and little else. Within each nation in this, area, intense local patriotism had made for intense internal strain. . The tradition of western colo nization has .given the Commun ists an opportunity effectively to wave the banner of anti-colonization. Secretary Johnson stated that since SEATO's inception, there bad been no open military action by the Communists. It seemed to many l v:fiJ' z -t'S' -T ' -T-Sv i V y '< v- In H .Rent plained that 3-man rooms are "dis advantageous to conscientious aca demic pursuits." The demonstration is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. on the road be tween Ehringhaus and Craige Dor mitories. It will then proceed in an "orderly fashion" past Avery, Parker and Teague, by Winston, Alexander and Jeyner end up to the Upper an l Lower Quards, ac cording to Curtis. From there the demonstration is expected to 7r;eeed past the wom en's dorm; and stop at the corner of Franklin and Raleigh Streets. "There will be speeches by stu dents," said Curtis, "and instruc i i Is, r, a i 't MT..M v.i Faculty OK's New Division Of Fine Arts UNC General Faculty has ap proved the establishment of a new Fine Arts Division to be added to the already fixed divi sions in the University's College of Arts and Sciences: humanities, social sciences, and natural sci ences. The proposal for a new under graduate degree, the bachelor of fine arts degree, is now subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of the University and the Board of Higher Education. The new division affects select ed departments of the University: art, dramatic art, music, and radio, television and motion pic tures (RTVTMP). Students plan ning to make their careers in the performing arts are enrolled in these departments. Such talented students will benefit from the new division. Students working toward the proposed B.F.A. degree will be enabled to take more courses in their major field of interest while they are at the freshman-sophomore level in the General College. At the junior-senior level, these students could take up to more than half of their courses in their field of major interest. The new division will in no way affect curricula of other divisions of the University. The proposed degree would appeal only to those students wanting professional or ientation within the total complex of the University. - To - ate of the delegates that he overstated SEATO's present importance. "United States interests in Viet Nam," said Johnson, "were to gain its full freedom and help them achieve their material well-being, not to dictate their form of govern ment cr ally them to any power block; thus, our sole concern here was to let them, freely make their choice." He cautioned us against hoping for a quick. , spectacular victory there, but stated that since the inception of the "strategic hamlet program,", whereby the people are tied closely to their government and the Viet Cong is isolated from sup plies, there is reason for some op timism. y (Tomorrow: ' Second and Third I Plenary Sessions.)' D h nn tions will be given on how students can make their protest more ef fective." Call for Telegrams The students will be. asked to write or phone home and ask their parents to wire their state repre - sentative or senator, protesting the increase in dorm rents.
