New Raid Was Retaliation
For Red Attack On Billet
(See Related Stories on Page 3)
WASHINGTON m The United
States struck back Thursday at
what it called murderous aggres
sions and outrages by the Viet
namese Communists and then
clamped silence on future plans.
A White House statement said
this government maintains its de
sire to "avoid spreading the con
flict" but felt compelled to attack
military targets in North Viet
Nam in response to "further di
rect provocation" by the Hanoi
Red regime. - -.. -
The statement announcing the
s third reprisal air strike of this
week cited the Viet Cong terrorist
bombing in which Americans were
killed in their billet as well as
. "assassinations and ambushes in
volving South Vietnamese civil
and military officials."
Reports from Saigon said about
150 U. S. and South Vietnamese
warplanes,, striking from land,
! and sea, smashed at targets in
North Viet Nam. Four carrier
based U. S. Navy planes and one
pilot were lost.
The White House described the
targets as military facilities used
tfor the training and infiltration of
Viet Cong personnel into south
Viet Nam.
Press Secretary George E.
Reedy said President Johnson
ordered the air strikes after an
emergency meeting with the Na
tional Security Council Wednes
day afternoon.
The President went to bed
around midnight, Reedy said, but
was up several times during the
night checking on latest develop
ments in the situation.
Reedy said Johnson awoke at
3:30 a.m. and telephoned the
"situation room" a command post
in the White House basement,
asking for the latest reports. Three
more times during the night the
President checked with the com
mand post, Reedy said.
The raid was a thunderous re
sponse to Viet Cong attacks.
Smoke columns surged through
clouds in the barracks areas of
Chan Hoa and Cap Le, smgiea
out for destruction after the
bombing Wednesday night of a
U. S. enlisted men's barracks in
Qui Nhon which left 25 Americans
dead or missing.

raids were highly successful. But

J96S State Game
To Be In Raleigh
The Student Government at N. C. State has decided the State
Carolina football game will be played in Raleigh next fall. The
athletic department and administration left the decision of
where to play State's home game up to the students themselves.
Tentative information indicates UNC will receive 4,000 tickets
for the Oct. 9 game in Riddick Stadium. Probably 250 of these
will be complimentary tickets, with the rest to be divided between
UNC students and Carolina fans.
State students will get 4,000 tickets under the plan still to
be approved by the State Student Government, and closed circuit
television will be provided in Reynolds Coliseum. Riddick Stadium
will hold 18,500 spectators. Additional temporary seats may raise
the capacity to almost 20,000. Kenan Stadium will seat 45,000.
Seating for UNC fans will range from the 35-yard line to the
goal line. About 500 seats will be in the end zone.
Student comment here ranged from "it's ridiculous" to "I'll
play 'em anywhere as long as it isn't the first game of the
season.

DTII Staff Writer
Astronomy Professor Thomas N. Noonan has
been selected to write a textbook on relativity
from the research of his faculty adviser at Cali
fornia Institute of Technology, who was killed in
an automobile accident in 1961.
Noonan the last student to earn a Ph.D.
under Professor Howard P. Robertson was
chosen by the National Science Foundation,
which awarded him $19,575 for the book.
Robertson, a distinguished physicist and mathe
matician, was scientific adviser to the Supreme
Allied Commander in Europe, Gen. A. M. Gruen
ther, from 1954 to 1956. The book, requested by
the Air Force, will be a memorial to him.
Before joining the faculty at Cal Tech, Robert
son taught at Princeton from 1929 to 1947. He
was a consultant to the Secretary of War from
1944 to 1947 and in 1945 was chief of a scientific
intelligence agency for U. S. forces in France.
Noonan, interviewed Thursday in his Phillips
Hall office, said he graded papers for Robertson
as a graduate student in astronomy at Cal Tech.
Noonan said his writing project will require
about two years. His sources will be papers and
notes from a course Robertson taught.

More than 100 Navy jets, tak
ing off from the 7th fleet carriers
Hancock, Ranger and Coral Sea,
struck at Chan Hoa, 50 miles north
of the border and about four miles
northwest of Dong Hoi.
Chap Le, 8.5 miles north of the
border, was the target of 28 propeller-driven
Vietnamese fighter
bombers and an escort of 20 U. S.
Air Force Fll fighters.
The attacks were made through
antiaircraft fire described as
ranging from light through mod
erate to heavy. The , defen
sive weapons appeared to be rela
tively small 37 mm guns and
50-caliber machine guns.
One of the four Navy planes
lost was a Skyhawk, from the
carrier Ranger, that sought to
set down at Da Nang, a missile
guarded U. S.-Vietnamese air
base 80 miles south of the border.
Its landing gear collapsed and
some of its unspent munitions
exploded. But the pilot escaped.
The crash temporarily closed the
Da Nang runaway.

A
Seat Given
Red China
By Students
The Political Committee, . with
89 members present passed yes
terday a resolution to seat Red
China in the model U.N.
Proposed by Algeria (J. C.
Smith), the bill was passed with
amendments. Earlier in the day
the committee tossed out an
amendment to seat both Red
China and Nationalist China in
the General Assembly, and one
to seat Red China in the Assemb
ly and Security Council and Na
tionalist China in just the Gen
eral Assembly.
Other major resolutions consid
ered by committees included Bye
lorussia's (UNC's Phi Society)
proposal to suspend South Africa's
vote in the U.N. because of her
apartheid .policies and the United
Kingdom's (North Carolina Col
lege) bill for studying and financ
ing birth control.
The Security Council, under the
chairmanship of Student Body
President Bob Spearman, yester
day passed a bill calling for a
cease-fire and withdrawal ot roeQ;
fcenaffes inc:,theCongo , "
The resolution, submitted by
Brazil (Phi Society), provoked
controversy over the legality of
the U. S.'s intervention in the
Congo to remove missionaries.
Brazil called the intervention a
"Humanistic effort to save lives,"
but the UAR asked the Brazilian
delegate if he would have ap
proved of the UAR intervening in
Little Rock, Ark.
One article of the bill, asking
all states to "desist from inter
vening in the domestic affairs of
the Congo," was deefated, 7-4.
The main article that "all na
tions be directed to cease all
military operations in or aid to
the Congo" was passed.
After her amendment to the
article reached a stalemate, the
UAR (UNC's Di Society) walked
out. But she returned to refute
a Brazilian blast and then left
again.
Dr. Arthur Waskow, a resident
fellow of the Institute for Policy
Studies in Washington, highlights
today's session.
Waskow has several books, in
cluding one just published, "From
Race Riot to Sit-in, 1919 and the
1960's." He will address the 500
delegates at 8 tonight in Lenoir.
The graduate of the University
of Wisconsin spent two years as
legislative assistant to a congress
man and has contributed many
articles to literary reviews and
magazines.
Leaning back in his chair, Noonan explained
that the course was in mechanics, not relativity.
But "it gave me insight into his point of view,"
he added.
The assistant professor of physics said Robert
son's greatest scientific contributions were in
cosmology, the science of the structure of the
universe. He did work, Noonan said, in both the
"special" and "general" theories of relativity.
Noonan, who received his B.S. in physics at
Cal Tech in 1955, conducted research at the
Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Boston
for a year before coming here in 1962.
The observatory, an agency of the Smithsonian
Institute in Washington, keeps track of all satel
lites launched by the world's nations.
He became interested in astronomy "gradual
ly," he explained, by attending colloquiums at
Cal Tech. His research paper, written under
Robertson's observation, concerned clusters of
galaxies.
Isn't it unusual that an astronomy instructor
should write a book on relativity? "Well," Noo
nan smiled, "astronomv is my work, and rela
tivity is my special interest."
The bespectacled instructor is well known at
UNC for his witty comments in class. "Classes

Radio Proposals
By JOHN GREENBACKER
DTII Staff Writer
A special session of Student
Legislature will meet at 7:30
p.m. Tuesday in New East to
consider legislation establishing
the governing body and by-laws
of the campus carrier current
radio station and other bills.
One bill would establish a 10
man Campus Radio Board of
Directors, which will have ulti
mate authority over the sta
tion's policy.
Chancellor Paul Sharp, who
must apply for the station's
Federal Communications Com
mission license if the legisla
tion passes, has expressed the
desire that he only be consulted
by the board when legal prob
lems arise.
Sharp's statement eliminated
many fears in legislature that
the administration would control
campus radio programming.
Another bill providing for the
initial appropriation of nearly
$28,000 for the station's estab
lishment will be introduced in
Tuesday's session, and Finance
Committee hearings on it will
be held within the next week.
All legislation for the station
are sort of a battle between students and the
professors," he said, "to try to out-wit the other."
Noonan gained some national attention by his
letter to Time magazine . several months ago
correcting a diagram of a rocket trajectory. "I
have to ..read newspapers and magazines care
fully for science news," he explained, "because
the technical journals don't have it until a year
later."
The collegiate policy of "publish or perish isn't
so important in my case," Noonan asserted,
"since UNC has needed me more as an instruc
tor." He added that he has published only one
paper, though he has tried with others several
times.
It may seem unusual that the scientist is fac
ulty sponsor for the Carolina Christian Fellow
ship. But Noonan. disagrees with opinions that
science and religion are incompatible.
"One finds so many science professors who
are agnostic or atheistic," he said. "Their
iews tend to rub off on students.
"But for me religion is based on historical,
verified data in the New Testament. I can still
approach it with a scientific angle."
Noonan is a bachelor. He hopes he can send
copies of this interview to bis mother.

They'd Rather Act

"The Model United Nations is

delegates tend to get carried away
with role play."
Steve Robbins, national NSA
president, discussed model as
semblies and student activity
groups in an interview yesterday.
He was a five-time delegate to
'Learning Of
U.N. Affairs9
Say Students
By KERRY SIPE
DTII Staff Writer
"Students get awfully behind in
world affairs. The president could
die and no one would know it
until weeks later. The CCUN
catches you up with the world."
This is what Natasha Kern, one
of UNC's delegates to the Colleg
iate Council of the United Nations,
thinks of the seventh annual mod
el U.N. being conducted here this
week.
Miss Kern, of Fayetteville, is
representing Cyprus in the mock
General Assembly and committee
meetings. "You get a complete
new outlook when you study world
affairs from another country's
point of view.
"Problems have come up that
I've naturally learned to support
as an American citizen. But by
placing myself on the position of
Cyprus, I can see things differ
ently," she said.
"A CCUN delegate has to know
very thoroughly the outlook of
his country or the officials will
challenge his vote. I studied Cy
prus for about two weeks before
the meeting started."
Each school which sends dele
gates to the three-day meeting
has repreesntatives to the mock
General Assembly and to three
mock U.N. committees. These
conferences are conducted just
as they would be in the United
Nations.
Joyce Watkins of Gardner-Webb
College is a delegate to the Social
arid Humanities Committee from
the republic of - Burundi. "The
meetings are not only educational,
but I think it will promote better
international relations, when stu
dents here get a first hand im
pression of the working of the
UN."
Miss Watkins thinks the CCUN
program is worthwhile. "You
usually only have time to learn
about your own country," she
said. "This gives you a different
kind of outlook.
"I was worried at first about
having to skip classes to come,
but it would have taken me years
to learn this much about world
affairs in a classroom."
Keith W. Bell from Duke, whose
mock delegation is from Italy,
said, "The best way to learn is
by doing that's what we're do
ing at CCUN.
"By being in these mock situa
tions ourselves, we hare to learn
something about the problems in
volved. I'm very satisfied with
the program. It's been both an
educational and a social success,"
he said.
Diana Herra of Sweetbriar Col
lege admitted she was lost and
asked directions to New East.
"This program would run smooth
er if people knew the campus a
little better," she said. "The only
thing I can find wrong with the
entire program is some of the
facilities. It would be good if the
entire meeting could be held un
der one roof.
"There are some unprepared
people here, too," said Miss Her
ra. "But most of the kids have
put a lot of work into it and are
learning a great deal about the
problems and practices of the
U.N."
Weather
Warm and tear today, but fte
DTII weatherman says watch out
for a cold siege tomorrow.
"Volume 72, Number 87
assemblies in the Pacific West
region as a student at UCLA.
"Role play is useful if the dele
gate does his research well. He
gets a better understanding of
the factors going into the creation
of a particular nation's position
and views."
But some students overdo ii, ha
said.
"They get carried away with
the role play they are less will
ing to negotiate and discuss prob
lems than actual delegates in the
United Nations.
"We have to be very careful
to put the Model U.N. in perspec
tive. The emphasis is on debate,
not the study of U.N. agencies,
which provide programs of tech
nical assistance and have a tre
mendous effect on world affairs."
But Robbins does not suggest
that the format of the model as
sembly be changed.
"This kind of meeting serves
its purpose of giving students ex
perience in role play and debate.
They can see the mechanics of
power and how decisions and
allionces are made.
"We can only do a certain
: number, of things in a certain
number of days, and as lon
as the U.N.
programs
aren't forgotten in the 'sound and
fury' of the meetings it is better
for campus organizations like the
CCUN to handle agency programs
on a local level. The model as
semblies should continue as they
are now as long as everyine un
derstands this isn't all there is
to it."
Robbins said American students
are generally unaware of oppor
tunities to become involved in in
ternational activities.
"It's nut that they don't care
they just don't know aboidt it.
Students here don't play the same
role they do in otner countries.
Here a student just isn't import
ant. In other countries a student
can be a real wheel they can be
cabinet members cr ambassa
dors almost as soon as they grad
uate. "Activities like the Model U.N.
help give our students a chance
to participate while they are still
students.
"There is too much of an I don't
want to get involved while I'm
a student' atmosphere. If a fel
low doesn't get involved while
he's a student, it's very unlikely
he ever will."
What about charges of leftist
and communist feeling in NSA
and other student groups?
Robbins said, "It seems highly
illogical to me to accuse NSA
and affiliated organizations of
pro-communist sentiments when
the communists so vigorously sup
port competing student groups.
It just doesn't follow. If we were
communist we would participate
in the International Union of Stu
dents, a group representing so
cialist, neutralist and communist
countries, with headquarters in
Prague."
He said NSA and other groups
associated with the West-oriented
International Student Confer
ence are concerned about com
munism in merging areas of the
world and want them to be
friendly toward the United States.
