But don't worry there is one last performance today. , Now I don't think there were too many people who just walked right in and gave without any reservations. Everyone had a nervous look on their face and they weren't laughing very convincingly. But when they came out they all seemed real pleased with themselves. A lot of credit is due Sonny Pepper and Cathy Cauble and all the others working with the Red Cross people. They had a very efficient operation going. And they took real good care of everyone. Students had many comments, while they sat around eat ing cookies and sipping soft drinks. Harry McLean said, "I'd rather be giving it here than losing it in Viet Nam." "I was scared to death when I came in, but I was really surprised to find out that it wasn't bad at all," Dean Painter said. Hugh Dorsey: "If it saves one person's life it's worth while." John Hodge: "As long as they're willing to fight for me it's the least I could do." Margi Erickson: "If I can do it anybody can. I was scared to death." Harry Wetherbee: "I regret that I have but one pint to give for my country." When Armistead Maupin walked in and saw all the people lying on the tables he said, "This looks like a scene from 'Gone With the Wind.' " DTH news editor asked the nurse if it was going to hurt. "Of course, it is," came the reply. You'd have to be a masochist to enjoy it. The DTH which under the leadership of Editor Ernie Mc Crary initiated the drive had 16 donors yesterday. Five staff ers were turned down and six must go tomorrow. That will add up to 100 percent participation. There were a lot of co-eds giving blood so there is no excuse for all you Carolina Gentlemen being afraid. Of course you might get turned down if you have had a certain illness, taking some kind of medication or if you have been pregnant in the last year. Engineers Make Diagnosis For Sound In Carmichael By GLENN MAYS DTH Staff Writer Acoustical engineers con ducted tests in Carmichael Au ditorium for about six hours to gain data which might help to determine a solution to the sound problem in the audito rium. Athletic Director C. P. (Chuck) Erickson said the en gineers were hired to deter mine the best sound system for the auditorium. "This is not unexpected that we have to make some im provements in the sound sys tem," Erickson said. The engineers, Matt Long and Guy Rudisill, of Long Engineers of Winston - Salem, and Bing Aycock of Knowlton I i rPi;r14i ( FTP ---gg Associates of Raleigh, weie conducting the tests with sounds ranging from music to weird "outer space" type of sounds. Long said some of the sound problem is due to the long re verberating time in the struc ture. He said tests were con ducted to determine the re verberation time, clarity and noise level in the building. The engineer said the engi neers will try to achieve a balance in the accoustics he said. Erickson said the accoustics change when the building is filled with people. "We're try ing to get the system fixed so that it will be suitable for ev erything that is held in Carmichael." i-sjriL- -i -: : A 1 Nurse Francis Young Helps Senior Carolina Through By MIKE O'LEARY DTH Staff Writer Are you one of the unfortu nate college students who can not remember the name of the main character of the novel you just read? Do you find yourself up un til the wee hours of the morn ing reading the same assign ment over and over again while your roommate has gone to bed several hours earlier? If this description fits you or if you would just like to im prove an already satisfactory reading ability, the University Reading Program can help you. The program is sponsored by the University Testing Serv ice through the Division of Stu dent Affairs. It is a voluntary, non-credit course open to any student who wishes to improve his reading speed and comprehension. While there is no required at tendance, 30 hours in the read ing laboratory is recommen ded as the minimum neces sary for noticable results. Students can pick the hours of the week they would like to attend and may attend for as many hours as they wish. The program begins with a series of tests which estimate a student's reading ability at the start of the program. The student then begins the pro gram at the level prescribed by his test results. The student progresses at his own speed. Work is done in the lab ' from assigned reading in prescribed texts. Five gradu ate assistants are on hand to help participants in the pro gram. "We stress flexibility in read Margie X v ''' ' v ' i g i 1 1 min . i ma"""' """""'" '" l.g. iafisL.JL Mary Haverstock Give Students Reading ing but some students want help in one area," said Mrs. W. D. Campbell, director of the reading program. "We have a large selection on study skills which will aid the college students in stud ies," stated Mrs. Campbell. Last year 300 to 350 students took advantage of the pro gram. Approximately 175 have participated so far this semes ter. Most participants stay for the suggested 30 hours, but some stay for as long as two semesters. The average speed for stu dents participating in the pro gram is below the average for college students. "It could be because students who come here need the program," stat ed Mrs. Campbell. "We also get a few, not a large number, of foreign stu dents who are interested in improving their reading. They seem to be successful at it." The average speed for in coming participants last year was 237 words per minute, "which is somewhat lowr for col lege students. They usually double "that's also average," said Mrs. 'Campbell. Two years ago a test was run on students who had par ticipated in the program but who had been out of it for three months. The results showed that they had dropped three per cent in their speed rate, but had gained in compre hension. "Retention of what they get in here is pretty good," stated Mrs. Campbell.

An enrollment fee of two dol lars is used to cover the cost of materials and is payable at the start of the program. The flexibility of reading class schedules permits enrollment in the course at anytime throughout the academic year. Students who feel that they do not have the time to par ticipate in the program will not have that problem. Accor ding to Mrs. Campbell, "Af ter two or three weeks of read ing, students comment that they have saved more time than they have spent in the course." Russians To Visit Duke Four Russian scientists will visit Duke University Medical Center next month to study the work being done there in hy perbaric oxygenation.

Dan Moore refused Wednesday to speak at a mass rally in Chapel Hill and explain why two controversial speakers were denied vis iting rights at the University. Instead, Moore suggested that the Committee for Free Inquiry, which had in vited him, should ask a member of the Executive Committee of the board of trustees to appear at the meeting. The invitation to Moore came from Paul Dickson, president of the university student body. The CFI Steering Committee, of which Dickson is chairman, had left the date open for Moore's appearance. Dickson in his letter asked Moore to address the student body at Chapel Hill within the next few days Blood Drive Gets 181, Falls Short By ED FREAKLEY DTH Staff Writer A first day goal of 300 pints for the Carolina Blood Drive fell short yesterday as only 181 pints were col lected. Today is the last day of the drive with a goal of 600 set for the two-day effort. Co-chairman Sonny Pepper said yesterday that the goal could be easily reached. "We could take as many as 400 pints, all we need are bodies," Pepper said. The drive gets underway at 9:30 this morning in Woollen Gym. It will last until 3:30 p.m. More than 250 people turned out yesterday but many were turned down because of recent illness, medication and other reasons. Pepper said about one out of every four donors was turned away. "I was disappointed in the turn out. We hope it will be better," he said. Squimishness, the weather and apathy were some of the reasons Pepper cited for the poor turn out. "I've never seen people work so hard and so well," Pepper said.. "Everyone was so willing and their enthusiasm is greatly appreciated." The groups working yesterday were the Arnold Air Society, Angel Flight, Sigma Nu and the Chi Omega sorority. Today's workers are Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, NROTC and the Semper Fidelis society. The operation only takes about 30 minutes. Stu dents fill out a questionnaire, have their temperature, bloor pressure, pulse and a hemoglobin count taken and then give blood. After you have given the blood you are treated to cookies and drinks. istration; S. D. Leidesdorf; and Burlington Industries will have representatives on cam pus tomorrow.

I Turns To Math Tutors Sought Temple University's College of Education is looking for gra duates who would be interest ed in working with disadvant aged youngsters in Philadel phia. Nine undergraduate credits in mathematics is the only re quirement. After an intensive summer session interns begin teaching in September with the help of a master teacher. For more details seniors should contact Dr. Jesse Rud nick, Director of the Junior High Mathematics Internship Project at Temple Univ., Phil adelphia, Pa. Down 3eak "to explain to them why it was necessary for the university administration to have the power of cen sorship ever any speakers in vited by recognized campus or ganizations, why it is neces sary to establish an arbitrary limit of 'frequency' for certain types of speakers, why the ex ercise of constitutional rights leads to 'discord and strife' and precisely what the Execu tive Committee's definition of 'the advantages of education' is." Gov. Moore replied, "I will be unable to accept your invi tation to address your group in regard to the action I have tak en with respect to visiting speakers at the university." The governor said his rea sons for opposing appearances by Aptheker and Wilkinson were made public at his news conference Thursday. Moore told newsmen then that his opposition was "based on my personal conviction that their appearance would not clearly serve the advantage of education. As chairman of the board of trustees, I felt it was my duty and my right to ex press my personal opinion on : this controversy." The governor also referred to the report of the Britt Com mission which studied North Carolina's speaker ban contro versy. "If you and your associates will study these documents," Moore wrote Dickson, "you will, I believe, have adequate answers to your questions and better understand my position in this matter." Moore said he "would not presume to ask" a member of the Executive Committee to ex plain the action of the commit tee.
