Only President Otto Arosemena of Ecuador balk ed at signing the final- "Declaration of the Presidents of America," apparently because he could whip up no support for his demands for greater U. S. Aid. The declaration calls for economic growth in farms and facotires, more export earnings and expanded education. "I return to my country in good heart," Johnson said in a statement shortly before leaving by plane for home. "I am convinced that the leaders of Latin America are serious and determined to develop their nations." When the Latin - American common market is achieved, supposedly by 1985, this "will alter the whole economy of the hemisphere and will have conse quences in every sector of social and political organi zation," Johnson added. Because Johnson achieved by handshaking and private talks and without dollar bills at least a surface solidarity in divergent Latin America, U.S. officials thought the summit was his personal triumph. 500,000 Protest War NEW YORK f Thousands upon thousands of peace demonstrators were on the move coast to coast Friday, on the eve of a mammoth protest against the Vietnam war a massing of humanity intended through its sheer dimensions to influence the course of American history. As many as 500,000 were expected in San Francis co and New York, where police riot experts were on the alert to handle huge, potentially explosive throngs, A 50-50 chance of rain heartened authorities in New York. ; Demonstrators were converging on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts from throughout the nation, by car, bus,train, plane and afoot. Twenty from Boston, including seven women, end ed a 20 - day trek and prepared to spend the night in New York's Central Park. With Americans dying in Vietnam, John F. Con way, vice president of the San Francisco Recreaion and Park Commission, angrily denounced the spring mobilization to end the war in Vietnam as "mass sa botage of our armed forces." Monkey Law Repeal Late JACKSBORO, TENN Gary L. Scott taught his last science class at Jacksboro High School Friday after being fired for teaching evolution. Scott's dismissal by the Campbell County School Board Thursday night came one day after the State House of Representatives voted 58-27 to repeal the state anti - evolution law. The measure is now be fore the state Senate in Nashville. Soon after the law was enacted in 1923, it resulted in the famous "Monkey Trial" of John T. Scopes at Dayton, 80 miles west of here. Scott, 24, graduated from the University of Tennes see in Knoxville last December and immediately was hired as a science teacher here. Scott denied teaching that man descended from an inferior being. "I had told the students about the Tennessee code section which prohibits the teaching of evolution and had defined the word," Scott said. "So when rumors reached me about children talking with their parents, I simply clarified what I had told the students previously." Brown-Bagging Uncertain RALEIGH Legislation to permit the brown-bagging of liquor, in North Carolina's legally "wet" areas was given tentative approval again Friday by the Sen ate, but one law maker pledged a last-ditch fight to. amend the bill Monday night. There was little discussion as the Senate approved the much-amended bill 33-7. If approved Monday night, it must go back to the House for concurrence in Sen ate amendments. , Sen. Julian Allsbrook, D., Halifax, told the Sen ate in a prepared statement that he is strongly op posed to any liberalization of the state liquor laws in dry counties. "We should not, under any conditions, permit liquor drinking in public places such as restaurants" in wet counties, Allsbrook declared. He served notice he will offer amendments when the masure comes up for fi nal Senate action Monday night. alje Dailii Zvlt l?rrl World News BRIEFS By The Associated Press I s '- -im.1 niuiiigiii - DTH Staff Photo by MIKE McGOWAN John Stupak speaks to a group in Lenoir . . and it was just a bet, too.

The . somewhat awed and and more than slightly confused audience greet ed Stupak's remarks with ap plause and approbation. The idea for this speech was generated with a fellow student one night over a glass of beer.

If elected, WTilliams said he would like to see some chang- es in the zoning ordinances, Zoning is stricter around keeps businesses out of the town and means less jobs for students, he added. . McQamroch disagreed, "I . don't think the zoning ordin-' ances prevent the establish ment of new businesses," he ! i He works as a narrator for the Morehead Planeatarium and former radio announcer fro WBIG in Greensboro. He said "It was a challege to my speaking ability. Thats my profession." Katz was in the audience, as well as several of John's former speech professors. Katz said the idea for the challenge occured to him some time ago while dinning m Le- noir Hall with Gary Waller. "XironQl.

"From the time he came to me, I had no doubts he would do it, but I did wonder if people were going to throw eggs." "I hadn't spoken my mind to a group of people for some time, so this was the time and place." Stupak said. "I must admit that I don't remember a thing from the time I got up until I sat down. Thank's to my radio exper ience though, I've learned to keep speaking and making it sound like I'm saying some thing." "I was amazed it went as smoothly as it did." "I wanted to see if I could get their attention and keep it for two minutes. It worked." "This thing has been bother ing me though for some time.

In presenting his inaugural address to student legislature, Travis spoke in Broad terms, but legislators were told that he would discuss details of his program later. However, Travis said he has already observed "certain con cerns which need the atten tion of a dedicated admini stration in the coming year." The first area he discussed was educational reform. "It falls largely to our own charge to initiate reform to revitalize a stagnating edu cational process, "Travis said. , "We must continue to be courageous in pursuing the freedom of the mind to in quire and experiment in every area of human endeavor and thought," he continued. He reminded legislators of political, administrative and financial pressures which face education today, but acid- ed that UNC is needed 'by North Carolina just as much as the campus needs state sup port. "We want; need, and must have a working relationship with the state government," Travis said. Legislators Are Pleased By Talk By LYTT STAMPS DTH Managing Editor Leaders of Student Legisla ture from both parties have reacted favorably to Bob Tra vis' inaugural address Thurs day night, but most want to hear details of his program. Larry Richter, University Party floor leader, offered con gratulationes to Travis on the quality of the proposals pre sented. "I give my personal endor sement to them and the sup port of the UP caucus to the Travis adimnistration in all matters of legislation that are for the betterment of the Un iversity and its students' he said. This year, he added, the UP will cooperate with the ad ministration as much as pos sible, but will continue to ser ve as a check when the party feels it is necessary. Carrie Rouse, who was elect ed chairman of the Ways and ifT sv Means committee said she was "mean turn it loose so you can put anything you want on the property."

TTTV latins Yeaur "We will not be insensitive to criticism or unresponsive to suggestions from without if they are constructive." Travis told the legislators that UNC could not have reached its present standing if the administration and stu dents had not cooperated. "This new student govern ment administration reafirms its devotion to a partnership in progress with the Univer sity administration. We will always counsel with admini strative leaders before we re act publicly on any issue," Travis said. In the area of student rights and freedoms, Travis said it is curious that a university student has fewer civil rights than he would haye if he were not a student. "While certain functional re quirements for living on a campus can be logically un derstood," he said, "I can see no justification for denying basic rights of due process to students. "This administration will ad vance the cause of the basic American rights and freedoms in judicial procedures and un- -lversity policies." Travis said student govern ment at UNC has climbed to greatness because of "its pur suit of excellence." "The key to success in the coming year is a reaffirma tion by all of us of that es sential spirit," he, said. fics of Travis proposals. "I was especially interested in his comments on civil li berties for student," the SP legislator said. In this area, Travis said his administration would advance the cause of the basic American rights and "freedoms in judicial , proce dures and university policy." "I was very pleased with the presentation of the pro gram, I am pleased to see him in a position to carry it out." "His explaining in his own words what he wants," Krich baum said, "will help legis lators."

David Kiel, SP, who was se lected chairman of the judci cial committee, agreed with Tyndall: "Travis laid a firm ideolo gical basis for a forward mov ing year in student govern ment. If Bob can keep his administration directed to the outlined goals, it will be a great benefit to the student body." Kiel said he did not want' to prejudge the program, but was looking forward to the specifics. "The speech does give di rection to Student Govern ment," , Elliott Dahan, SP, said. .
