VISTA Recruits:
Y-CourL Lenoir
Volunteers in Service to
America came to Chapel Hill
this weekend to recruit stu
dents who want to serve their
country at home.
VISTA is President
John-
son's force in the field in the
war on poverty. Booths have
o been set up in Y-Court and Le
noir Hall for the "domestic
Peace Corps" recruiting pro
gram. The first 125 volunteers are
now at work and by the end
of June VISTA hopes to have
2,000 around the country, in
poverty - stricken areas. '
Recruiting on campus will
end today but applications by
mail will be welcomed, spokes
men announced yesterday.
, VISTA, a government divi
sion created by the Economic
Opportunity Act of 1964, is
"much easier to qualify for
than the Peace Corps, and its
selection methods are pleas
antly unbureaucratic," spokes
men said.
The three recruiters for
VISTA now in town -are Philip
W. Conn, Miss Joan Larson
and Willis D. Weatherford Jr.
Weatherford said that VISTA
is working in North Carolina
through a program first set up
by - the North Carolina Fund.
The local training center is in
New Hope, which was set up
in January.
i "The main aspect of
VISTA," Weatherford said, "is
that volunteers must be asked
by a community to come in
and help." He compared
VISTA to a "catalyst" in that
the aims of the help programs
are to "start the ball rolling
in a poverty - stricken com
munity" so that the people
help themselves.
Volunteers for VISTA have a
comparatively simple process
in applying. "First an applica
tion is made and if that is ac
cepted a second,, more detailed
application is filled out'.Wea-
therford said.'. , T : ? ,
"Then there is an attempt
made to match the skills of
the volunteers to the jobs.
There will be a six-week train
ing program this summer, part
of which will be on-the-job
training."
VISTA operates on a budget
of about $10 million this year,
but if all goes well, Weather
ford said, "we should get al
most four times that next
year."
Volunteers do not become
federal employees, but they
are paid a "subsistence" al
lowance of about $200 a month,
plus $50 a month which is kept
for the volunteer, available aft
er his year's service.
To be eligible for VISTA vol-.
ucteers must be over 18 years
old and should apply not more
than one year before they will
be available to work.
The period of service is one
year, Weatherford said. "So
far we have had over 390 ap
plicants from North Carolina
and one acceptance," he said,
Debate Teams
End Year With
Record Success
The UNC Debate Team, un
der coach Dr. -Donald Spring
en, closed it's most successful
season in history Tuesday
night with a Chancellor's re
ception at the Carolina Inn.
This year's team has com
piled an overall record of 84
won and 41 lost, 51-28 for the
varsity and 33-13 for the novice
team. o
The varsity, composed of
Bob Powell, Eric Van Loon,
Craig Bradley and Curtis
Branscome has won four tro
phies this season. Powell and
Van Loon received coveted
invitation to debate in the re
gional elimination tournament
at Atlanta, one of ten teams
in the southeast to be so hon
ored. The Novice team's outstand
ing record was compiled by
freshmen Steve Kemic and
Dave Kiel ho won 22 debates
while losing only seven for a
.757 percentage.
Highlight of the season for
the novices was a first place
win in both affirmative and
negative divisions of the ACC
tournament by Kemic and Kiel
and John Olshinski and Bill
Clemens.
Carolina faced the Blue
Devil speakers seven times
this year . . . and beat them
all seven times.
"but the program is just un
der way."
Operation Breakthrough, the
project in Durham, is working
in an entire range of 'educa
tion. "We're starting with Dre-
school kids and running right
...
through recreation, help for the
agea and adult education,"
Weatherford said.
He stressed that applications
for VISTA will be accepted for
this summer right now. "It
only takes a few weeks to pro-
5less ,the applications," he said,
ana ivat is oacK in Harry's."

Local Couple Is
Beaten, Robbed
On Franklin St.
A Chapel Hill couple were
assaulted, beaten and robbed
Saturday night by three un
identified men as they walked
along Franklin St., in front of
the Morehead Planetarium.
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Riley of
523 1-2 E. Franklin St., told
police that three Negro men
approached them at approxi
mately 10:18 p.m. Two of them
held the woman while the third
knocked Riley to the ground
and kicked him repeatedly in
the head.
Mrs. Riley called for help,
but loud noise from nearby
fraternity juke boxes drowned
out the sound.
After the three fled, she ran
across the street to the Kappa
Delta sorority house and called
police. Riley was taken to the
Emergency Ward of Memorial
Hospital and was later re
leased with minor cuts and
bruises.
Shortly after the assault,
Chapel Hill patrolman Thomas-
Snipes stopped a ' car pull-
ing away from the Planetari
um. He took the names of trie
four Negro occupants and al
lowed them to proceed.
As the car pulled away,
.Snipes said he saw two other
men run to the car.
The car was again stopped
in the Strides Hill area, where
the four men fled into the
woods. An immediate search
of the area bounded by E.
Franklin St., Roosevelt Drive
and Plant Rd., was made, and
one man was found hiding in
the bushes.
Another man was reportedly
"seen hitch - hiking in Durham
County. He was pursued by
bloodhounds as far as New
Valley School, where the ani
mals lost the scent.
Chapel Hill Police Chief Wil
liam D. Blake said yesterday
that he had issued four war
rants, and expected arrests to
happen almost t immediately.

Pich The Cartoon
The staff of "Peanuts Inc." has complained to
the DTH that Charlie Brown and his friends are
lonely. They've suggested that the Tar Heel find
a companion comic strip to run each day with
Peanuts.
Certainly, no one wants the popular personnel
of this cartoon to pout. So, the decision is up to you.
Check your choice or suggest another strip
that you would like to see in the Tar Heel next
year.

Due to increasing involve
ment by college students in
community service programs,
the United States National Stu
dent Association, in coopera
tion with the Ford Foundation,
has published "Scope," a' new
directory of summer opportun
ities for college students.
There are thirty to forty cop
ies of the booklet available in
the Student Government of
fices for students who are in
terested. A few permanent cop
ies will be kept on hand for
use also.
Scope is a comprehensive
guide to the range of com
munity programming and or
ganizational activity, which
offers an authoritative, impar
tial review of information con
cerning opportunities for serv
ice during the summer.
The journal contains a wide
selection of summer activities
including information about 96
organizations with more than
27,000 openings. Services re
viewed include voter educa
tion projects in the South,
tutorials and community ac
tion in the North, and govern

yesterday for a $4 - billion
excise - tax reduction, prom

SL Session
Student Body President Paul
Dickson announced yesterday
he will seek a third special
session of. Student Legislature
before the semester is out.
In an official statement to
the DTH yesterday, Dickson
stated he had asked Don .Wil
son, SP Floor leader, to cir
culate a petition among the
SL "to have a special session
of the Student Legislature next
Thursday night."
Because of the recent cam
pus radio controversy the SL
had failed to pass certain key
legislation which would pay
some necessary bills incurred
by the past UP administration
under Bob Spearman.
The statement continued:
"There are several financial
bills that must be considered
and I hope passed before the
end of the spring semester.
These bills are to pay several
debts that were left by the
Spearman administration. This
is not an unusual situation, but
the bills must be paid.
Also, there are a few stu
dent government committees
that need money to complete
spring projects. One of these
is the Academic Affairs Com
mittee which is in the middle
of a course evaluation pro
gram. It is my opinion that a spe
cial session this late in the
year is entirely legal. There
may be no precedence for it,
but there is definitely a need
for it.
I would urge all Student Leg
islators to sign this petition.

cusses how the apathetic stu

Of the 96 organizations in

Such groups as the Ameri

It seemed likely, therefore,
that business and the consum
ing public can expect the cuts
to take effect on this presi
dential timetable:
July 1, 1965
Repeal of all the retail
"nuisance" levies on luggage,
furs, jewelry, handbags, cos
metics and toiletries; and re
peal of a score of factory-collected
taxes on electric appli
ances, radio and television
sets, and other items ranging
down to matches and playing
cards.
And the biggest item of all
a midyear cut from 10 per
cent to 7 on new cars, for sav
ings of nearly $70 a car retro
active to May 15. The rate
would drop to 6 per cent next
Jan. 1 and 5 per cent on Jan.
1, 1967.
Jan. 1, 1966
Repeal of the admissions tax
on movies, theaters, racing
and sports events, and night
clubs; and of the taxes on club
dues, light bulbs and auto
parts. -
Also, the tax on local and
long - distance telephone serv
ice would drop from 10 per
cent to 3 per cent. It would
go down 1 point a year there
after, until its elimination on
Jan. 1, 1969.
The message disappointed
the auto industry. It had asked
outrght repeal of the 10 per
cent levy, but Johnson said the
cuts should stop when the tax
reaches 5 per cent because:
"It is an important source of
federal revenues."
The industry has served not
ice it will continue to press
Congress for outright repeal on
July 1. Rep. Martha Griffiths,
D-Mich., announced . she will
urge the ways and means com
mittee to adopt her pending
bill to that effect.
Even the partial relief rec
ommended by Johnson seemed
likely to keep the auto sales
boom in high gear. The indus-'
try has promised to pass any
excise tax cuts on to consum
ers in full. When the bill pass
