Cooper Proposal Brings New Warnings WASHINGTON A proposal by Sen. John Sher man Cooper, R-Ky., to restrict the bombing of North Vietnam set off a fresh round of senatorial warnings Monday against military actions that might bring Red China into the war.

If this brought any affirmative re sponse from Hanoi, he said the bombing of North Vietnam should be suspended. Commandant Says Marines Eager To Win LEXINGTON, Va. The commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps said Monday the 74,000 Marines in Viet nam are winning because "they believe in what they are doing." Gen. Wallace M. Greene Jr. said their eagerness to win is partly shown in the fact that one out of every 10 has voluntarily extended his duty tour. There are more Marines in Vietnam now than there were in Korea at the height of that war in the early 1950s, and Greene declined to speculate on how many more may be needed in southeast Asia before the war is over.

The letter was written by Da vid Q. LaBarre, the Attorney General of the Student Body, and Carol Ann Stein, the At torney General for Women, to the Daily Tar Heel. - One meeting has already been held with one department and more are planned with other faculty groups "with the hope that we - can iron out any problems which might arise," according to LeBarre and Stein. They write that the adminis tration has been "made aware of these and other problems and hopefully will take steps to make official administrative policy known to all." In two' of the cases the per sons charged pleaded guilty. The attorney Generals say that in one of the cases the facul 1 t In a frantic, last-minute ef fort, the dorm residents form ed the Society for the Preser vation of BVP ansdi swung their campaign into high gear . Sunday afternoon. Blaring record players heralded their cause, which is on effort to obtain signa tures of UNC studetns show ing support for the residents' reprieve request, which they vplan to submit to the Housing Department soon. Now, the students' gripe is not so much that they are going to lose their dorm, but rather that they are going to lose it so soon, without having had a chance to secure other For Highschoolers mation Committee has been doing for the past two years. The booklet was originally planned to be distributed free of charge to counselors of high schools in fifteen south ern states, but because of an Office of Economic Opportun- ity memo and an article in General ty member felt "that once a violation has been discovered and the student has admitted his guilt, a penalty should be given and no further ques tions asked. LeBarre and Stein refute this belief, writing that, there are two constitutional rights the students are guaranteed in honor court, the right to face one's accuser and the "right to have all evidence and ma terial witnesses present" at the hearing. In this same case the "fa culty member took it upon himself to conduct a full in vestigation" but after he had found the results "would not consider seeing the trials through," according to the let ter. In another case, involving a student who pleaded not guil ty, LeBarre and Stein write of the accuser that "it was thought by some individuals that this person should not have to appear at a STUDENT court." "The unfortunate result of this" can be "unequal treat ment of students" they say.

Polls will be open from 9-5 in Y Court, Scuttlebutt and Wilson Library, and from 9-6 at Lenoir and Chase Dining Halls. YM - and YWCA members will tend the ballot boxes un der the suprevision of the YMCA. The ballots will be counted tonight in the Y Building by members of the Y Cabinet and University faculty. The counters will be divided into five groups one group for each polling place and tentative plans are for the re sults to be posted outside. The ballots will then be turn ed over to the advisory board, according to Jim Garrison, president of the Y. "We hope to keep the re ferendum unbiased," Garrison said Monday. "We are only seeking to meet a need of the students." Garrison said standard bal loting procedures accord ing to the student elections manual will be observed. Students' IDs will be stamped when they mark theif ballot. Any questions or complaints pmeve rooms on front campus. VU"Our biggest complaint is ; that we were not notified,' said Tony Lentz, who is re sponsible for organizing the petition campaign. "I called Dean (of Student Affairs) Cathey this morning (Monday) and that was the first time we heard officially the dorm would be converted. "All we ask is that they hold off until after the fall semes ter so that 'we can stay here at least that long. Then we could get a place up close in stead of being arbitrarily ship ped off to Hinton James," he said. Booklet the publication Chang ing Times, the booklet re ceived national recognition and has now nicreased its distri b u t i o n to include various churches, welfare organ izations, colleges and univer sities, educational services and students throughout the nation as well as US Bases through out the world. Between November, 1966 and May, 1967, six thousand of the planned eleven thousand cop ies were sent around the coun try. The first step in the publi cation was the gathering of information from various col leges and industries about the financial assistance avilable. All of the operation was done under the supervision of Tony Mason and Ben Spauld ing, Co-Editors of the first edition and Joyce Watkins, Scholarship Information Com mittee Co-chairman. The money to finance this project was received from the Fund for the Advancement of Education of the Ford Foun dation. The committee received a $6,400 grant last year and a renewed grant of $8,000 this year. The committee is still work ing on the booklets and using volunteer help. Any student in terested in assisting in his spare time is urged to come to the office in Y Court. In the coming year the pro gram is expected to expand to include issuing a Southern High School Information Guide and visiting personally high schools and other interested groups to speak with them about scholarship materials and opportunities. Oroen about the legitimacy of the balloting will be reviewed by faculty members of the Y Ad visory Board, Garrison said. The YMCA decided last Fri day to sponsor the referen dum after Student Legisla ture and provide a fifth al ternative for those who do not agree with the present U.S. policy in Vietnam but do not find any of the three alterna tives provided on the ballot acceptable. The ballot provides slots to mark sex, class, and acade mic major and reads as fol lows: 1. The following are fo u r courses of action that the Unit ed States could pursue in Vietnam. Mark and "x" in the box beside the one that you most nearly agree with. NOTE; These are the four alternative originally ap proved by Student Legislature and publicized in the Daily Tar Heel.) Policy A: The United States should defeat the power o f North Vietnam by widespread bombing of its industries, ports and harbors, and by land in vasion. Policy B: The United States should follow the present po licy in Vietnam. Policy C: The United States should de-escalate its military Hinton James dormitory, which will be completed by, next fall, is the relocation de pot for most of the BVP exiles. Lentz said that dorm presi dent Vance Furr was informed of the proposed change sever al weeks ago, but that he did not say anything because he believed the matter to be ten tative. "The first time we got wind of the thing was when we read in the Tar Heel that the Board of Trustees was going to consider it Friday" Lentz said. So he and several othed stu dents constructed some ima ginative signs, set up a table at the northeast corner of the building, and began collecting signatures on the petition. In two days they have ga thered 300 signatures, includ ing that of Student Body Pre sident Bob Travis. Lentz said that the Help Save BVP campaing will be conducted for a few more days, after which he will take the petition to the Housing Department and to Dean Ca they. "If they tell me to take it to the Trustees, I'll do that, too," he said. Most of the people who sign ed the petition, Lentz added, felt "the administration was trying to slip one over on us. "We don't think it's too much to ask that they wait until after fall semester to con vert the building." s - - "' i . For YMCA's activity, stop bombing North Vietnam, and intensify its ef forts to begin negotiations. Policy D: The United States should withdraw its military forces from Vietnam immedi ately. 2. The following is for those who do not agree with the present policy in Vietnam (Po licy B above), but who do not find any of the other three alternatives acceptable as worded. None of the above alterna tives to Policy B accurately represents my position, but, in general, I favor 1. escala tion, 2. de-escalation, of the present U. S. effort in Viet nam. Garrison and past Y presi dent Johnathan Gibson made this statement Monday: Coeds Vote Today On Rules Change By JULIE PARKER DTH Staff WriUr v Today coeds will tell Wo men's Residence Council by a campus-wide vote at the polls whether they want, more lib:ral social rules, and if so, to what degree. Dsan of Women Katherine Carmicael said Monday that she could make no statement on what action her office would take on any rule changes re commended by the referen dum.' "We've never had a referen dum of this type before." "I do - think that any wo man student has the right to question any other student about any matter within the bounds of good taste. I really can't say what ac tion: will be taken, but I will say, this:- I've never refused to grade any paper submit ted to me in a class, and I'll consider this issue in the same light." While the referendum is not binding on either the Dean of Women or the WRC, WRC stated in its meet last Tuesday that the poll's re sults will have a large in fluence on any rule changes the council recommends next .fall. "We want an accurate pic ture of which rules the girls favor and which they don't," Chairman Sharon Rose told the council. "We're urging all women to vote even if they want to keep the rules as they are now." Profile information on the ballot concerning the coed voter's age, transfer status, Attention Faculty All faculty members are re quested to turn their fall book requisitions into Thomas A. Shetley immediately. This win allow the Book Exchange to purchase used books while book brokers are well stock ed and thus save students thousands of textbooks dollars in the falL . Captivated by the hand . 1 odlay "We tuye students of all political leanings to vote in Tuesday's referendum in or der that the results may bo truly representative of cam pus opinion. We hope that no element of opinion will ab stain from voting. Such action would perhaps serve to dis tort the results, though it will not. in our opinion, invalidate the referendum as a measure of student opinion. "We further encourage all students to vote for one of the original four alternatives with is closest to their position. The YMCA addition is not intend ed as a fifth alternative, but only as a general measure ment of the opinions of those students who feci that the ori ginal alternatives, worded, do not approximate their posi tions." marital status, current place of residence, age and year in the university will be evaluat ed by computer.
