In Vietnam Terrorism
11,967 Civilians
Killed In 9 Yrs.

ECC Prof
Sees Life
ywhere
GREENVILLE, N. C. (AP)
An East Carolina College
physics professor is convinced
there is life somewhere besides
on earth, but not in our solar
system.
Dr. R. Marshall Helms, who
for six years has studied the
research of other physicists
and astronomers, estimates
there are 34 "technological
Civilizations" in the Milky Way
galaxy. But the civilizations
are so far part, he says, that
they aren't likely to come in
contact with each other.
Dr. Helmes says one-tenth
of the Milky Way galaxy's 100
to 150 billion stars have a tem
perature range of 4,000 to
7,000 centigrade. These 100
billion stars are capable of
supporting celestial compan
ionsor "sister stars" which
could be "planets suitable for
life."
Dr. Helms said, "About 60
per cent of the 10 billion stars
with a suitable temperature
range for life are old enough to
have permitted its develop
ment." He estimates that the aver
age life expectancy of such
civilizations would oe around
8,400 years and figures that
134 of them exist at any given
time.
If the civilizations are even
ly distributed in the galaxy, he
said, "the average distance
between them is 4,000 light
years.'' A light year is the
distance light can travel in
in year.
Therefore it would take an
average of 9,200 years for two
of the civilizations to exchange
hellos by radio.
The distance would also pro
hibit travel between two civili
zations, Dr. Helms said. A
space vehicle would have to
travel almost the speed of light.
To do this, the physicist said,
the generation, transformation
and utilization of million watts
of power would be necessary
for every pound of the space
vehicle.
"That's more than matter
could have," he said. So far,
said Dr. Helms, little is being
done to contact life in outer
space.
The professor said some sci
entists have suggested that
music be broadcast into outer
space, instead of merely select
ing a planet and listening.
"Others say mathematics"
he said. "Two beeps, a symbol,
three beens. a svmbol. and
then five beeps. The founda-
tions for a language can be
started this way."
Dr. Helms predicted a sys-
tematic program to contact in-
telligent life in outer space
will be operational by 1980.

rorist activity since the be
ginning of 1958.
Both, totals are well above
figures compiled previously
from fragmentary reports. U.
i. officials cautioned that
"none of these figures are en
tirely accurate, since in many
cases no accurate figures were
kept by local (Vietnamese)
authorities. "It is believed,
however, that any error is on
the low side."
- - A -new method of reporting
terrorist activity, started in
January, provides an idea of
the focus and breadth of the
enemy effort. Since Jan. 1,
the reports say, 467 persons
have been killed, 862 wounded,
and 738 kidnapped by terror
ist activity.
This year's figures include
among the dead 33 hamlet and
village chiefs, 31 government
pacification cadre, 27 national
policemen, 3 U. S. civilians,
and 9 Hoi Chanh or Viet Cong
defectors. The wounded in
clude 3 hamlet chiefs, 35 paci
fication cadre, 29 national po
licemen, 8 U. S. civilians, and
2 defectors.
Seventeen hamlet chiefs and
five Hoi Chanh were among
the kidnapped, as were 60
Montagnard tribesmen, abduct
ed en masse Jan. 21, probably
for use in Viet Cong labor battalions.

Wonderful, that is the only
way to describe the Tar Heels
of North Carolina.
Last night they earned a
ticket to the NCAA finals in
Louisville by defeating Bob
Cousy and his Boston College

The Tar Heels are now the
number one team in the East,

Rifle
enatorial Seat
HOLLYWOOD (AP) Yet an
other actor he-man Chuck
Connors is eyeing the kleig-lit
road to politics. He has some
thing to learn.
Connors says 1964 Republi
can presidential nominee Sen.
Barry Goldwater has suggested
that he run for the Senate
from California next year.
Goldwater says that's not quite
what .he said.
"It's a great temptation,"
said Connors, who campaigned
hard last year for fellow actor
Ronald Reagan, California's
new Republican governor.
"The only trouble is I don't
think I can afford it," Connors
said in what political observers
might regard as an imperish
able, impolitic statement.
"I figure I've got to earn
$5,000 a year for alimony,
child support for my four sons,
supporting my mother and my
wife's mother and nephew be
fore Mamala (his second wife)
and I can eat. And a senator
makes only about $36,008 a
year."
If Connors should run next
year and win California
would have three actors, all
Republicans, in its key polit
ical posts. In addition to Rea
gan, onetime song and dance
man George Murphy is the
state's junior senator.
The state's senior senator,
Thomas H. Kuchel, the Senate
Republican whip, comes up for
re-election next year. He has
been under fire from conserva
tives. Conors, 44, calls himself a
conservative Republican "not
the old-fashioned, turn-of-the
century kind, but a modern
conservative."
Connors said Goldwater sug
gested he try for the Senate
last month during a conversa
s The
three other teams in the na
tion. They will play Dayton,
who defeated Virginia Tech in
overtime last night, in a semi
final game Friday night.
Smith and his athletes
will arrive at Raleigh-Durham
airport at 3:50 p.m. to
day, and their bus will pull
up to Carmichael Auditorium
at approximately 4:30.
It was a weekend of upsets.
Kansas, Texas Western, Louis
ville, and Tennessee all met
their deaths this weekend.
But here in College Park the

Country Club. ,
"I was in the foursome in
front of him and Arnold Pal
mer," said Connors. "We've
met several times before and
we were talking about Ron
nie's election and politics in
general when the senator said
I should run for the Senate..
I was flattered. I told him I
. didn't think it would be. pos
sible. He told me I might
change my mind later on.'
Told of the statement, Gold
water said:
"That's not exactly what
took place. He told me people
were asking him to run and
that he had not made up his
mind. I told him that if he did
run to make sure he was well
financed and that he had the
backing of enough people in
the party. It was advice that
he solicited. I certainly would
n't stick my nose into the
affairs of another state. It was
not a case of my saying, 'Yes,
by all means, get in there and
run.' "
Connors, a 6-foot-5 ex-first
baseman for the Brooklyn
Dodgers, Chicago Cubs and the
old Los Angeles Angels, swung
into the saddle in 1958 as star
of the "Rifleman" television
series. He later starred on
Television as lawyer John
Egan in "Arrest and Trial"
and as ex-soldier Jason Mc
Cord in the "Branded" series.
Connors said he found in
campaigning for Reagan that
he had one strong factor in his
favor if he decides to enter
politics:
"I have visibility. Politicians
strive for years to acquire it
the ability to be recognized
instantly by the public. My
acting career has given me
that."
Pol Tenders
All poll-tender requests for
the Tuesday elections are due
at student government at 6:00
p.m., Sunday, March 19.
Founded February 23. 1893
Tar Heels did just as almost
everyone expected.
Call them wonderful because
of their uncanny ability to
play up to the occasion.
On Friday night they didn't
play, but nonetheless the team
from Chapel Hill defeated
Princeton in overtime. Last
night against Boston College
they played a running, fast
break team. The Eagles play
ed well, but Carolina displayed
one of their finest games of
the season.
Call a senior from Washing
ton wonderful, because he,
more than anyone, can con
jure inspiration just when his
team needs it most.
Bob Lewis made the key
layup in the opening minutes
of the Princeton overtime per
iod. Last night he turned what
appeared to be a photo-finish
into a runaway period.
Carolina went in at halftime
gripping a precarious 44-42
lead. With 18:18 remaining in
the game a Rusty Clark follow
shot stretched it to five, 4843.
That's the way it remained
for more than five minutes of
excellent basketball.
Both teams executed the run
and shoot, pro-type game with
precision. There were few
shooting mistakes, and fewer
turnovers.
Then, jusrwben the deadlock
was becoming unbearable,
Lewis let loose. With 12:58
remaining and the score,
UNC 58, B.C. 55, he scored
from the right corner. Min
utes later he finalized a fast
break for two more points,
and then he scored on another
jump shot, this time from the
left corner. In between he
stood at the foul line and add
ed more numbers to Carolina's
side of the scoreboard.
That last jump shot came
with 6:55 remaining and the
score, 71-64.
Lewis finished the night with
31 points. After the game he
said, "I could tell right from
the start that I had my touch.
An athlete always knows it."
Although the announcement
won't be made until some
time today, he is sure to be
chosen the tournament's Most
Valuable Player.
Of course, Lewis was not
alone in beating Boston Col
lege. No one could be. His
supporting cast featured seven
more athletes (five of them
sophomores).
Rusty Clark played his best
game under both backboards.
Bill Bunting was devastating
from the corners with his bent
over backwards jump shot.
Brown played well, so did
Tuttle, so did . . .
But don't forget the team's
workhorse All-American, Lar
ry Miller. Along with Lewis,
he built up the Tar Heels' lead
during the final thirteen min
utes. Two Miller foul shots
went in the basket with 3:02
remaining to play, making the
score 84-68.
With the Tar Heels protect
ing their lead with Smith's
four-corner stall, Bob Cousy
cleared his bench, and thus
the concession was made.
Miller followed Lewis in
game scoring totals with 22
points, and along with Clark
he provided Carolina's re
bounding strength.
So now it's the finals, and
after all the upsets this week
end, the writers are saying
that if anyone can beat Lew
Alcindor and his Bruin team
mates, the Tar Heels are the
only team left in the country
with a shot at the upset.
1967 is the Chinese Year of
the Ram. The Rams from Winston-Salem
won the NCAA
Small College Championship.
And if you're extremely super
stitious, maybe this means
something.
The Tar Heels ran into im
mediate trouble in the open
ing minutes of last night's
game.
Bob Cousy's Eagles have the
national reputation of being,
fittingly enough, a collegiate
version of their professional
