Qualified seniors will be al lowed to run for all offices ex cept lieutenant governor of each area, according to two recent decisions of the Men's Resi dence Council and the Student Government ad-hoc !

By an act of Student Legisla ture, the Lower Quad and Par ker, Teague and Avery will be called Morehead and Scott Col leges respectively, and will have common officers, social functions, area newspapers and an area legislature. May Replace MRC If these projects are success ful, they will be established in men's residence hall areas throughout the campus, and they will eventually replace the MRC. The RCS program has been viewed by University adminis trators as an attempt to elimin ate the "campus-wide" per spective of men's residence hall government and campus life. . The two Residence College governors and their officers will work under the leadership of the MRC and ad-hoc commit tee until the projects prove successful on a wide scale.

Promote Interest The speeches and printed ma terials were designed to pro . mote "grass-roots" interest in , the plan. : . - "We have seen a continued high interest level in top resi dence hall circles for the pro gram," Pepper said. "But the " average male resident doesn't know too much about it. "Because of this problem," he said, "we have developed a leadership gap within the two pilot areas. "Up until the last two days we have had trouble getting qualified people to file for of-; fice. but the amendment 01 tne rules in order to allow seniors to run should help. "We think this thing is going! to work," he said, 'but if the male students show no interest then it won't." The head of each area is the governor of the college. He will direct and coordinate all col lege activities and serve as an area spokesman. The It. governor will serve as the social chairman for the col lege, and will control the use of area social rooms' and make arrangements for combined parties. The college secretary will be in charge of communications and contact within the area. "He will probably, be respon sible for the area newspaper," Pepper said. Distribution of money and al lotment of social funds will be the responsibility - of the area treasurer. "Each college has been allot ted $200 from Student Legisla ture and the MRC for opera tional expenses," Pepper said. "Morehead College has $150 per residence hall and Scott Col lege has $500 per residence hall this year for social expenses." Nearly $100 per hall from Morehead College will be used to complete construction of the Graham Hall social room for the area. It will serve as study hall on weekdays and a social room on weekends. Spend $3,000 "We are spending $3,000 for the Graham room to install wood paneling, windows, doors, drapes, comfortable furniture, lamps and paintings," Pepper said. Plans for the Graham room will be completed by the admin istration next week, and con struction will begin within the next two weeks. A social room for Scott Col lege will be constructed in Tea gue Hall for social purposes only, and work will begin after construction on Graham is well underway. Social programs finances and other matters will be handled by the college and MRC of hcers. - s it N ' 7 ' -. .... ' ? s 1 J A x;v TFT) - iM&i1-' my. St-.- if ' y. y l I WATCH THE ADAM'S APPLE!

Ut) Secretary-General U Thant pro posed Friday that the principal parties, in the Vietnamese crisis hold preliminary talks in order to turn the quest for a solution "away from the field of battle to the conference table." Thant's proposals for talgs to prepare the ground for formal negotiations was contained in an appeal to all countries involved to refrain from any new actions "which may lead to an escalation of the present conflict. He said at the time this would mean a renewal of the 1954 Gen eva Conference at which French Indochina was split into Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos. THiey G By KERRY SIPE DTH Staff Writer A sleek, red racing Ferrari bul lets down the track and slides into a curve at 190 mph. The screaming tires lose traction, and the car slams into a retaining wall at full throttle. The driver escapes unharmed. The scene is not Le Mans or Sebring, but the game room at Billy Arthur's in Eastgate Shop ping Center. The sport is not auto racing, but a miniature, less dangerous one called "slot rac ing." - Intricately styled models of the fastest sport and stock cars on the tracks complete at scales 124 or 136 the size and speed of the actual cars. The hobby has taken the cam pus by storm. Like many of today's American commercial successes, slot rac ing began in England. About 30 years 3go an English spinster got a paient on a scaled, gasoline powered car that ran along a rail at the side of a miniature track. Engineering ingenuity h a s brought . a lot of changes to day's slot cars are electrically powered and are controlled by TTV ITT Hike Sought For State's Pay Scale RAL.EIGH Iff) a Uiil propos-j ing that North Carolina, which j ranks 43rd in per capita income, f raise its minimum wage f rom j 85 cents to $1 was introduced j in the State Senate Friday. The proposal, sponsored by Sen. L. ,P. McLendon Jr. of Guilford, would affect about 50,000 : of the state's 1,350,000 non-farm workers, according to the . State Labor Department. I Ten other senators co-signed the measure. j Although the bill does not ask; for an increased waee minimum! for workers now making more- than $1 an hour. McLendon said "I think it will increase the income not only of those who are covered by law, but also of those who are exempted. "It is virtually impossible to pay some workers in an area $1 an hour and others just 50 or 60 cents. There is an economic leveling that comes into play." McLendon said he was con fident the bill would be ap proved by the Senate Manufac turing and Labor Committee and predicted a similar bill will be -introduced in the House early next week. He added: Those not covered by the state minimum wage law include farn workers, persons under .16 t or over 65 years old, those who receive most of their" income from tips, and workers in busi nesses employing less than four persons. Pay Raise State personnel Director John Allen told the Joint Appropria tions Committee today Gov. Moore's across the board pay raise would cost the state $32 million. Allen, appearing before the committee to explain the state merit salary system, was led into the subject by questions from the members. Allen said, however, that his figure based on the number of state employees actually work ing in November of 196-4 -"is low and will have to come up some." Both agreed the actual cost would be between the two figures. Republicans The General Assembly's 15 Republicans gave unanimous support today to the proposed state income tax exemption in crease. The Republicans made the decision in their weekly caucus Thursday night according to House Minority Leader Jim Holshouser of Watauga. a rheostat wired into the metal slot on which the car travels. Every major hobby kit maker has slot kits for sale at about $6, but veteran slot racers like to build their own "from scratch." Kent Rogers of Chapel Hill, who currently holds the track record of 233.25 scale miles per hour at the local track, says that the pur pose of the sport is "to provide as much authenticity to the models as possible." Rogers carries a hundred tiny tools and racing parts in a tool kit everything he needs for a "pit stop" during a race. The cars are equipped with everything from power brakes, to torsion bars, to tiny plastic drivers sit ting behind the steering wheel. Everything is in perfect scale. "It takes me about two days to make a 'scratch built' car," said Rogers. He buys most of the parts for his cars from model makers, with some homemade additions from his junk box the suspension system on one of his racers is made from a piece of piano wire. Rogers owns four cars. The fastest, the track record holder, is a blue-and-white "Cooper Cli max" with a souped-up engine.

State football game will be held in Raleigh this year, but the ticket situation for the game is still not clear.

Billy Arthur's on Thursday and Friday nights for competitive racing. A $1 entrance fee is charged and the place win ners are awarded trophies or cash prizes. Races are conducted according to the rules of a national slot . racing organization. Cars must be in almost perfect scale in or der to be eligible. Competition is run on a road fcourse scaled to a half mile track. An average speed is a scal ed 190 mph. Cars are made so that they will "get rubber" and - "spin out" on . curves, just-as they might in actual racing. Judges stationed around the track determine the winners. Howard White, a Chapel Hill adult 'proves that the sport is not a sport for young boys alone. His son got him interested in slot racing about a year ago. "I get a kick out of building small mechanisms," he said. "I've rebuilt the engines of sev- . eral of my, cars to make them turn faster. I think its a wonder ful hobby. - "You build your cars and go to- the races. Someone has a faster car, so you go home and do some more work. Sometimes I you win, sometimes you don't. Grid Game tion a bill to play the game in Raleigh. Now a student govern ment committee is formulating plans for the distribution of tickets for the game. The plan is to furnish 4,000 tickets for students of both schools and for the overflow to view the game on closed circuit television in Reynolds Coliseum. The admission price to the Coli seum for TV viewing of the game will be $2. "There has been no agree ment on the tickets yet," UNC Athletic Director Chuck Erick son said yesterday. "In the past, it has been true that all home schools provide tickets up to the demands of the visiting schools. "We presume that State will honor these requests," added Erickson, "and we must insist that we get the same treatment that we have been giving their students. "They aren't going to dictate their policy to us. We will look out for our students." In past years, all State stu dents who wanted in the game! were admitted for $1. Last year State received 9,960 tickets and UNC-G received 1,200 with 600 of them on UNC's side and 600 on State's side. Playing the game in Raleigh doesn't hurt the Tar Heel home schedule since five home games have already been scheduled. The Tar Heels will meet Michigan, Georgia, Maryland. Virginia and Clemson at home and will play Notre Dame, Ohio State, Duke, Wake Forest and State on the road.

TVD Session Closes Today By ALAN BANOV DTH Staff Writer Arthur Waskow, Resident Fol low of the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, told the Model United Nations last night that "the position of the United States on peace-keeping and the budget is wrong." Speaking as a model Secretary-General, the political scien tist said, "there is no way of sending a great international army to collect the money pre sumably owed by the Soviet Union . . . unless that army were prepared to fight an all out war. "In effect, the American posi tion on peace-keeping and the budget would be a back door way of making the U.N. into a world government, but France and the Soviet Union have re fused." Waskow attacked the spirit of "arrogance" in the United States' policies in attacking North Vietnam. People have felt, he said, that "since the Russians will not dare to bomb us to defend China or North Vietnam, we are free to do as we like to these under-develop-. . edcountries ....... "We have scarcely contribut ed to the peace of the world. . . . Our government's attempt to put down political subver sion and revolution by military suppression was doomed to fail ure from the start." The Model U.N. General As sembly yesterday afternoon condemned South Africa's apar theid policies and requested all U.N. nations to break off diplo matic and economic relations with her, but declined to sus pend her . vote in the world bodv. Meeting in Hill Hall, the group approved the resolution, which was submitted by Bye lorussia (UNC's Phi Society) and passed by the Social, Hu manitarian and Cultural Com mittee. The vote was 52 in fav or, 14 against, with 25 absten tions. The General Assembly de liberated upon the resolution for about three hours and was slowed by controversy and parliamentary difficulty. Con fusion erupted often when a delegation voted voted "out of character" with the real coun try's policies. The first article of the reso lution demanded that South Af rica "cease its discrimination and repressive measures of apartheid, measures which are in violation of the Charter of the U.N." The second article condemned the "non-compliance" of the government in ignoring earlier U.N. appeals. Release Prisoners Article three requested South Africa to release all political prisoners arrested for opposing apartheid. The fourth and fifth articles respectvely requested members of the U.N. to "cease all eco nomic relations" and "all dip lomatic relations" with the re public, until she showed ncod faith in reforming apartheid policies. The General Assembly refus ed, however, to suspend South Africa's vote in the mock world body. The South African delegation, represented by Negroes from Clark Colle'ge, maintained throughout the discussion that "the U.N. should have nothing to do with the domestic policies of our country." They were adamant in denying anv racial segregation in the republic.
