I in vi Sunday, September 20, 10G4 Vietnamese Deny Tonkin Incident Fred Seely, Hugh Stevens Co-Editors Larry Tarleton Sports Editor NEW if E2 1 S S3 14.1 Hal Pay 'Em Wliat Their Worth We find it particularly unfortunate that Consoli dated University President William C. Friday is getting paid less than his three chancellors. A great university is made by great administrators and faculty members, and it is impossible to obtain such men without paying' them well. The salaries paid the chancellors are not enough to be competitive, and for President Friday to receive less is a serious mis take, if not an insult. Someday President Friday will move on to another job, and the trustees are going to have one heck of a job finding someone to be president of a huge institu tion for $24,000 a year, The University's budget prom ises to be one of the hottest fights in the General As sembly, but we hope that one improvement that should, 'jbe obvious, and is passed quickly, is a suitable raise for the President. i i Introducing The STH .i j The newspaper you are reading now is a new con cept for the Daily Tar Heel. As you will notice, there is very little similarity between the Sunday Tar Heel and the Daily Tar Heel. And that's just what we mean to do. The Sunday paper is meant to be more condensed than a regular day's issue, and as we go along we hope to add more and more improvements. It will be more of a "reading edition" than anything else, but we think you will enjoy it. We have been plagued with all the misfortunes that seem to come with something new, and certainly the Sunday Tar Heel next week will be far better than to day's paper. Please bear with us until we get our feet on the ground. If you have comments about the DTH, let us hear from you. As always, our doors are open each after noon from 2-6 p.m., and we want to hear what you think of this. ! On A Losing Game Well, they lost. But no team ever salvaged a greater measure of glory than did our Tar Heels in the closing seconds yesterday, when they showed that they had the guts to try to win when the chips were down, rather than settling for an almost certain tie. They went into the game as big favorites, only to see a few bad breaks and some small but deadly errors leave them with their backs to the wall. It was then, in the greatest Carolina tradition, that they went to work and did the job that had to be done, ramming the ball over the goal line with the confidence and authority that marks every never-say-die team. That they went on to lose is indeed disappointing, but it is not fatal. For there will be other glorious Saturday after noons, and we are confident that a greater number of them will end in victory than in defeat. But whatever the result of subsequent games, the ultimate success of football, or any true sport, must be measured in terms of the lessons which it provides. Yesterday our Tar Heels showed us that there can be no greater measure of a man's worth than the amount ? of effort which he is willing to expend in a cause to which he is dedicated. The dedication and the courage exhbited by our team in a last-ditch effort was not enough to give us a final victory over a State team which came ready to play football and took advantages of its opportunities. But that same dedication and cour age calls to mind the following words by a great writer: "Who stand and fight amid a bitter brood, Knowing the matchless gift of fortitude." Go get those Spartans, Heels. We're with you all the way , (From DTH Wire Reports) North Viet Nam denied Sat urday that any of its warships were involved with U.S. de stroyers in the latest Tonkin Gulf incident. But the Hanoi regime said it viewed the events there with the utmost gravity. Peking accused the United States of fabricating the incident as part of "an imperialist scheme of aggression." "No battleship of any kind of the democratic republic of North Viet Nam was present there at the moment," said a Hanoi broadcast quoting Le Trang, di rector of press and information for North Viet Nam. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara announced yes terday that two U.S. destroyers on routine patrol in the Gulf of Tonkin "were menaced by four unidentified vessels" Friday, and fired warning shots. The ap proaching craft then disap peared. Adm. U.S. Grant Sharpe, Pa cific Fleet commander, reported Friday that two destroyers on patrol 42 miles from land were threatened by four unidentified vessels "which, because of their dispositions, courses and speed, indicated hostile intent," the Defense Secretary said. After changing course to mini mize danger to themselves and after the unidentified vessels continued to close in McNamara said, the destroyers fired warn ing rounds. "The destroyers then prop erly opened fire and the ap proaching craft disappeared without closing sufficiently to fire on the destroyers," McNa mara stated. . "The destroyers are continu ing their patrols in the interna tional waters in the Gulf of Ton kin and U.S. air and sea forces remain prepared to respond immediately to any attack," he added. A 'Contest: Name The Park It's contest time! The Sunday Tar Heel is spon soring a contest, to name the newly created park near Avery, Parker, and Teague Residence Halls. The winner will receive, a free night on the town for two. The nameless park was creat ed last spring by an act of Stu dent Legislature and was fi nanced from student funds. As with all University improve ments, however, final responsi bility for the naming of the park rests with the University Trustees. This time the Trustees will have help from the students. Dr. Sterling Stoudemire, chair man of the Faculty Committee on Buildings and Grounds, said yesterday that his committee, which makes preliminary recom mendations to the Trustees, would choose a name for the park from those submitted in the Tar Heel's contest. "We can't be guaranteed, of course, that the Trustees will accept our recommendation," Stoudemire said. He indicated that it would be appropriate for students to submit names since the park was created by stu dents. Deadline for contest entries is Oct. 1. All names should be mailed to the Daily Tar Heel (Box 1080) or turned in at the Tar Heel office between 1 and 5 jn. daily. Hurricane Gladys Heads Towards Carolinas MIAMI, Fla. IS) Hurricane Gladys, up to now an identical twin to Dora, took a northwest ward course toward the U.S. mainland Saturday and posed a threat to the coasts of Georgia and the Carolinas. Forecasters said that al though Gladys was still two days away from land, winds and seas Patrolman Convict LUMBERTON, N. . C. Uft A grizzled escaped convict and a rookie highway patrolman shot each other to death during a roadside gun battle between two troopers and two dangerous con victs near here early yesterday. The second patrolman escaped unharmed and the second con vict fled into woods only to be captured four hours later. Capt. Tom B. Brown, com mander of Highway Patrol Troop B, said the two convicts had been on a crime spree since they escaped from a Central Prison work gang Wednesday night. , , , i , , Goldwater, Humphrey Trade Farm Blows (BUFFALO, N. D.(iP) Thou sands stood in a chill rain yes terday to hear Sens. Barry Goldwater and Hubert Humphrey attack each other's farm pro gram as "bureaucratic med dling" and "a death sentence to agriculture." The Republican presidential candidate and the Democratic nominee for vice president, spoke to crowds estimated at over 50,000 on the site of the National Plowing Contest in eastern North Dakota. First prize will be a free eve- ning on the town for two, in- cluding dinner, a movie, and a couple of free beers.

The latest advisory placed the center of Gladys, the season's fourth hurricane ar,d ninth tropi cal storm, about 650 miles east of Fort Pierce, Fla., and the same distance southeast of Wil mington, N. C. Die Near Lumbcrton Since their escape, Capt. Brown said, the two had stolen a' getaway car, armed them selves with weapons and ammu nition taken from a National Guard Armory, and seriously wounded a farm couple. Capt. Brown said the dead patrolman was James Hush Marshurn Jr., 21, who joined the Patrol only seven weeks azo. The convict slain in the gim battle which erupted in the lights of the patrol cruiser was Olin (Junior) Fowler, 40, of Nichols, S. C, who was serving a 50-year term for accessory to murder. Goldwater pledged to the farmers: "I will stop this bureaucratic meddling in your private af fairs." Humphrey, responding to a chant of "We want Hubert," re cited part of Goldwater's farm voting record and drew his loud est ovation of a 30-minute talk by asking: "With a record like that, is Sen. Goldwater the man you want to trust with the destiny of American agriculure?" history of North Carolina or the University, or with the geo- graphic setting of the park. The final responsibility for the judg ing will rest soley with the facu ty committee. V-i Jit
