S. GARLAND, N. C. (AP) A North' Carolina mother re joiced with renewed faith and prayer yesterday when told the Bible she gave her soldier son saved his life in a Viet Nam ambush. A sniper's bullet pierced the tiny New Testament that PFC. William Donald Parker had stashed in his helmet, remem bering the instructions of his mother always to keep it with him. "I told him to read it and it would help him," a proud Mrs. William T. Parker said. "I sure am glad I gave it to him." Her son, William, who was 19 years old today, is the old est of seven children, includ ing 12-year-old triplets. The Parker family lives on a farm in North Carolina's Sampson County, 80 miles south of Ra leigh. They raise corn and to bacco. Mrs. Parker, who also works in a clothing manufacturing plant in Garland, said her son had written only two or three letters since joining the 173rd Airborne Brigade six months ago and being sent to Viet Nam. "In all of them he was tell ing me to pray for him," she said. "He's not too religious really but he believes in pray er." Mrs. Parker said the family attends Smith's Chapel Afri can Methodist Episcopal Zion Church near their farm home and she does "a lot of pray ing by myself." Not only does young Parker have his mother's prayers but also those of his 18-year-old wife, Rosalee, who is expect ing a baby in late December. She lives with the Parker fam ily but is visiting relatives this week. Parker's father, a carpen ter as well as a farmer, served in World War II. He received the Purple Heart and five Bronze Stars before be ing discharged with the rank of staff sergeant. "I didn't have a Bible with me, but I prayed" Parker Wesley By RAY LLWILLE DTH Staff Writer Contemporary design is one of the features of the Wesley Foundation's new home at 214 Pittsboro Street which will be completed this week. The building combines brown-gray brick and white concrete slabs with crystal quartz. It was designed by Albert Cameron of Charlotte. Cameron has been given the contact to design the new un dergraduate library and stu dent union and book store. The building costs $298,000. Furnishings and other acces sories will raise the cost to $350,000. Methodist Chaplain Bob Johnson said gifts from pri vate foundations and three annual conferences of North Carolina Methodists paid all costs. The building is two stories. On the first floor are offices, a library, a chapel and an art gallery - coffee shop. The library will house ref erence books for the Wesley teaching program and those that will aid University re ligion majors. Adjoining the library is a periodical read ing room. The chapel will be used for worship, drama and music. It is highlighted by a tangerine red carpet and a pipe organ. The organ which takes two years to complete will not be installed until April. "The chapel is designed like an amphitheater. The congre gation will sit on three sides of the speaker," Johnson said. With two balconies the chapel will seat 250. The art gallery will display various collections throughout the year. It merges with the coffee shop where pasteries Holy Book Stops Bullet said. "The Lord was with me, I know, and my mother was back home praying too." Parker said any man who carries the word of God with him in battle can count on faith to help him. The sniper's bullet hit young Parker's helmet, plunged through the New Testament, and spun out the side, saving his life. All he got was a slice of skin taken off his skull. Two other soldiers received minor wounds in the ambush in the "Iron Triangle," long regarded as one of the tough est stretches of terrain in South Viet Nam. Southern Assn.

The coffee shop opens NEW Chosen Bible Is Soldier Not the least surprised that the New Testament saved his life, Parker said he knew God would protect him and "that's why I wore it up there."

The special session of Or ange country criminal Court convened yesterday at 9:30 a.m. and recessed at 5:30 p.m with Superior Court Judge George M. Fountain of Carr boro presiding. Large Venire More than 25 persons were called to the stand to testify to their competence as jurors. Most of them said they had formed an opinion as to Ri- naldi's guilt and felt they could not render a fair decis ion. The defendant appeared re laxed at the day's preceed- ings. He listened attentively as his attorney, Barry Winston of Carrboro, and District Solici tor Thomas D. Cooper Jr. of Burlington fired questions at perspective jurors. Rinaldi, a former part-time English instructor at the Uni versity, was granted a new trial in late June in a 5-2 rul ing by the North Carolina Su preme Court. First Sentence The first trial, which lasted a week and a half, ended in a conviction last Nov. 18 with a recommendation for mercy. This automatically carries a life imprisonment sentence un der North Carolina law. The conviction was over turned on the basis of imcom petent evidence given at his trial last November. Since the trial last year Ri naldi has spent 10 months in Central Prison, Raleigh. He was transferred to Orange County jail in Hillsborough about two weeks ago. MRC Court In N lumber Residence hall violations have been running rampant this fall. In five cases tried this se mester by the MRC Court, 14 defendants have received sentences ranging from offi cial reprimand to indefinite probation, according to Court spaces for 40 cars. Godfrey said the coffee shop might ex pand to the garden during the spring. The formal opening of the Wesley Foundation building will be Sunday, Nov. 7, at 4 p.m. when Dean Robert K. Cushman will speak at the worship service. Principal evidence in last year's controversial case was the fact that Rinaldi was to receive as much as $40,000 in insurance payments for the ac cidental death of his wife Lu cille. At that trial Rinaldi and Chapel Hill insurance agent John F. Sipp said they found the body of Rinaldi's wife upon returning to Rinaldi's apart ment after a shopping trip to Durham. Sipp told the court he was with Rinaldi between 8:45 a.m. and 1:35 p.m. on that Christmas eve day. Witnesses testified that they had seen Rinaldi in various stores in Durham on the day of the murder. Autopsy Report A pathologist who perform ed the autopsy on Mrs. Rinal di testified that she died of suffocation and set the time of death between 10 a.m. and noon. He also said thai "one or more blows to the head by a blunt instrument had probably caused the head injuries and cuts around her face." First trial judge Raymond Mallary ruled out items taken from Rinaldi's apartment the day his wife was killed, be cause they had been obtained illegally by police. They consisted of a bent flashlight and blood-stained sofa pillow. Handyman's Testimony Chief witness for the state last year was Chapel Hill handyman Alfred Foushee. He testified that the defendant had attempted to hire him to kill Mrs. Rinaldi. The trial and selection of the seven remaining jurors will resume this morning at 9:30. The prosecution is expected to call on the same witnesses they used last year. The defense has not indi cated who it will call upon. About 70 people were pres ent for the opening day of the new trial. Reports Rise Of Offenders Chairman Bob Hunter. Disorderly conduct and de struction of residence hall property have been among the most frequent charges, Hunt er said. The first case to come be fore the court involved two students charged with destruc tion of residence hall property, disorderly conduct and ex cessive consumption of alco holic beverages. One of the students was acquited of all charges. The other was found guilty of the last two. He received official reprimand and a $10 fine. Indefinite residence hall pro bation was given to a student charged with disorderly con duct and destruction of dorm itory property specifically, pulling a sink from a bath room wall. He was also charged for damages. The third and fourth cases involved gambling. Seven defendants in the two cases were all found guil ty and received a court repri mand. Four students were charged with violating quiet hours two of them charged with pos session or use of an exploding device in the last case to come before the court. Three were found guilty. Their sentences ranged from a $5 fine and residence hall probation to a $5 fine and of ficial reprimand. Hunter told the DTH that MRC representatives have been instructed to report all violations of residence hall rules to the Attorney General for trial by the court. Traffic Study Set Dean of Men William G. Long will meet Friday with the University Traffic and Safety Committee to discuss rezoning of part of the Bell Tower parking lot.
