THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1967 Founded February 23. 1893 iiMiiiiiini j i iff I &C77 Of7 err Datlti aar 2?rrl World News BRIEFS By The Associated Press Committee Okays Student Draft Deferments . WASHINGTON The House Armed Services Com mittee voted today to continue draft deferments for college students. It also voted to restrict President Johnson's authority to move to a lottery style draft. The decisions were taken as the committee moved close to final approval of a bill extending the Selec tive Service System for four more years. Chairman L. Mendel Rivers, D-S.C, said college de ferments would be written into the law under the committee bill, instead of leaving the issue to presi dential discretion. The Senate has already passed a four-year exten sion that, recommends continued college deferments, but leaves the final decision to the president. Waste In Vietnam Construction Cited WASHINGTON Waste and inefficiency by the Navy and a huge contractor combine pushed up con struction costs unnecessarily during the rapid build up of U.S. forces in Vietnam, the General Accounting Office charged Wednesday. The Congressional watchdog agency cited such things as "property being pilfered, stolen and misap propriated," use of higher quality than usual mater ial, shipping by air insead of ship such things as darts and dartboards. "Our survey," the GAO said, "indicated that neith er the Navy nor the contractor was adequately equip ped to handle the massive expansion of the construc tion program in late 1965 and the first half of 1966." Policeman Killed In TSU Riots HOUSTON, Tex. A rookie policeman died of a gunshot wound early Wednesday in a battle between officers and student snipers at Texas Southern Univer sity, the state's largest Negro school. Three other per sons suffered wounds;' Police said more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition were fired. While police questioned 488 students arrested dur ing the four - hour dormitory siege, city and school officials sought to discover what led to an outbreak Mayor Louie Welch said amounted to anarchy. Patrolman Lewis R. Kuba was shot between the eyes as he crouched on the terrace of the Student Union Building during on assault with some 100 fellow police men on the dormitory from which students were fir ing guns and hurling crude fire bombs. Kuba, 25, died about 7 1-2 hours later without re covering consciousness. His widow is expecting their first child and the couple had moved into a new home only Tuesday. Liquor-By-Drink Vote Asked In Mecklenburg RALEIGH Mecklenburg county's three-member Senate delegation introduced a bill Wednesday which would permit the voters in their county to hold a referendum on the sale of liquor by the drink. Sen. Charles Maxwell, a co-sponsor, predicted the measure will be approved by the Senate. Although state-wide in application, the bill would apply now only to Mecklenburg, the state's most populous county. In sending up the bill, Maxwell appealed to the Senate to "let us experiment with this. A majority of our people feel this is the dignified way to han dle liquor." Soviet Naval Challenge Reported ROME The commander of the U. S. 6th Fleet reported a growing Soviet naval challenge in the Mediterranean Sea on Wednesday. And in Moscow, the commander in chief of the Soviet navy accused the United States of causing last week's two ship-bumping incidents during American maneuvers in the Sea of Japan. . ' . Vice Adm.

Slippery when wet . DTH Staff Photo by STEVE ADAMS U.S. 86 to Hillsborough N. C. 86 And 54 Like Driving Om A Serpent By HUNTER GEORGE DTH Staff WriUr On a wet night you could kill yourself. They would call it a "high way fatality' an accident. That probably would end it. But what would not end would be the dangerous con dition of N. C. Highway 86 and N. C. Highway 54. These narrow, windy, hilly roads are scenic on a pretty . day. But they can become slick, treacherous serpents on a rainy night when the two worn - smooth tire grooves down the center of each half of the road become even smoother. Anybody who has driven these roads can affirm this fact. And there are plenty of people who have driven and ' VISTA h Recruiting Here Today Today is the last day for VISTA recruiting on campus this year. VISTA is the branch of the' Federal Gov ernment concerned with al leviating poverty throughout the US. The organization will re cruit over 4500 students this year for 300 projects. Their new, accelerated policy will offer students with Bachelors' degrees much more opportun ity than in the past, said as sistant Field Director Sheld on Butts. Attention: If your moth er or father graduated from UNC in 1942, you are asked to come to the Old Well at 4 today and have your picture taken. The Alumni Office" and members of the class of '42 are planning a reun ion and would like your picture. There are about 25 of you on this campus, please try to attend. continue to drive them-every weekend. Greensboro (and UNC-G) is 42 miles down the road, provided you make it to the superhighway. Raleigh is 29 miles, but there is no super highway. The speed limit is 55 miles per hour, and is strictly en forced. But that doesnt al leviate the condition of the road. - It's a harrowing feeling to be cruising 45 m.p.h. in a drizzling rain and suddenly feel your car swerve to the side of the road. - Another disturbing sensa tion is to feel your wheels i spin as if stuck in muoV-at 45 or 50 m.p.h. then sudden ly grip the road and jerk the car,;: ;;; , ,. It happens. The signs along these two roads are plentiful. Most of them either indicate a sharp curve ahead or warn "SLIP PERY WHEN WET." So far this year no one has died on these roads, although six persons have been in jured on each. But a look at accident rec ords for the past two years indicates that things could stand improvement. On. the 10.7 mile stretch of N. C. 86 from Chapel Hill to Interstate 85, a total of 92 accidents have occurred since Jan. 1, 1965. These accounted for 45 personal injuries and took two lives. Property damage amounted ' to $51,900, according to fig ures from the Traffic Engi neering Division of the N. C. Highway Commission. The 21.8 mile stretch of N. C. 54 from Chapel Hill to Raleigh, on the other hand,. . saw 250 accidents, involving 105 injuries, eight deaths and $130,814 in property dam age. A comparison of these fig ures reveals that N. C. 86 has nearly the same accident rate . per million vehicle miles (MVM) as the statewide ac cident rate 2.5 as compared to the state figure of 2.8. The MVM for N. C. 54, however, is 3.5, or one full accident per MVM above the rate for the rest of North Carolina. A spokesman for the De partment of Motor Vehicles told the Daily Tar Heel last week that these roads are not regarded as "priority'.' areas for improvements. ' Widening and resurfacing of small sections of both., was done within the past two : years, but the roads have not had a major overhaul hu about 10 years. The Department of Motor Vehicles is planning to com pletely relocate N. C. 54 all the way to Raleigh, but the work will begin on the sec tion from Durham to Raleigh, rather than on the section near Chapel Hill. M This project is still in the planning stages, the spokes man said, and estimated com pletion date is not certain. Meanwhile, UNC students and Chapel Hillians will con tinue to travel the slick roads in hopes that someday, some time, somebody will widen and resurface them.

By PENNY RAYNOR DTH Stajf Writer The 1967 Yackety Yacks will be mailed to students this year, according to Clark Egeler Jr., editor-in-chief of the Yack. "Due to circumstance be yond their control, Taylor Publishing Company will be unable to deliver the Yacks to the student body at a time convenient for the students to pick them up before leaving for summer vacation," Eage ler said. "Therefore, the printer will mail the Yacks individually to each student's home ad dress provided by the office of Central Records. "All students who do not want their Yacks to be mail ed to their home address should advise the printer no later than May 31, 1967, of their address from the per iod June 1 to July 15, 1967. All such requests should be sent to the following address: Attention Fred Koger, c-o Tay lor Publishing Company, Box 597, Dallas, Texas, zip code 75221." Egeler explained that the publishing company is taking complete responsibility for the delay, because it is due to an unexplained mix-up. They will begin mailing the Yacks at their own expense at the beginning of June. Several major changes have been made in the format this year's Yack. For instance, it includes three to four. -times as many pictures as .last year's edition. Over 90, are color pictures, half of which are the sweethearts of the fraternities and tre dormitor ies. The rest of the color pic tures are arranged creative- Today and Friday are the last days for interviews for Yack staff posts for next year.

"A new concept" was employed for the introduction to the an nual, which contains 20 quo tations illustrated with ten or 15 pictures each. These por tray a day, a year, and a lifetime of a student at the University. A two-page editorial sec tion in the back of the an nual contains four editorials written by Robert Dornbush, the literary editor. They deal with the relationship of the University to the state, the state of publications at the University, women's rules on campus, and the state of athletics at the University.

There is a shot-by-shot record of each basket ball game of the season, in cluding the Louisville game. Scores of all the sports "down to fencing" are featured. The seniors are the only class who will appear in a class section. All students and the seniors will be arranged by their campus residences, in the dormitories, fraterni ties and sororities. In their own section, sen iors are arranged according to majors. Between each major spread, there is a two page section featuring six or eight outstanding professors who teach in that particular field. "A very pretty four-color process lithograph of Chapel Hill 50 years ago" begins the annual, on the inside front cover and first page. New ID's Reported For Fall Students here will get new identification cards next year, Dean of Men William G. Long announced Wednesday. The new card, to be con structed of laminated plastic, will have a color photograph of the student, his name, his social security number and his birthday embossed on it. The cards will be some thing like gasoline credit cards and can be used in data processing equipment. All students will have to get a new card. The Dean said final plans for when the new ID's will be made will be announced in the fall. Vote Tabulation Still Continues, Council Says Wednesday's coed rules ref erendum is now being count ed and tabulated for IBM programming, and results should be available in about two days, the Women's Resi dence Council said today. "While the results will not be tabulated in time for the final edition of The Daily Heel this week, we're mak ing arrangements with South Building to post them in women's dorms and possibly in Y-Court and several of the larger men's dorms," WRC Chairman Sharon Rose said. "We want the men to know how the girls voted too!" The referendum was origi nally scheduled for Tuesday under supervision of the Stu dent Government Elections Board, but a shortage of bal lots and errors in the voting instructions and questions on the ballot voided the Tues day vote. WRC had the ballots cor rected and reprinted private ly yesterday. Dormitory hall representatives, and sorority house managers distributed the ballots to their residents at 9 p. m. and collected them at 12:30 a.m. Mr. Geer Tries To Keep UNC Personal By WAYNE HURDER DTH Staff WHUr "We must not let our students feel lost in an impersonal University world if we can prevent it," says Modern Civilization Pro fessor William Geer. To do this he sees a "need to develop new and imaginative ways of maintaining a personal relationship between professors and students." One of Geer's methods of doing this is a "period of free dialogue," as he calls it, with whomever cares to stop and talk ev ery Wednesday at 4 p.m. under the Davie Poplar. His present students, former students, and students unknown to him join the con versations to continue discussions that were carried on in class or to talk about current issues. He emphasizes that "this is just my way of solving a problem I see. Many students feel lost and that there is no one to whom they can talk." "I'm perfectly sure hundreds of faculty members are willing to make themselves available to students, but in a formal uni versity setting it is necessary for the stu dent to make the first step," he adds. Geer, who has taught Modern Civilization for the past 20 years, started the conver sations several years ago when some stu dents approached him after class to ask if they could continue their discussions. Geer couldn't do it right then so he told the group to meet under the Davie Poplar that afternoon. After that he con tined his little open symposiums. He stopped last fall because of bad wea ther and has now started them again. Geer, a resident of the University com munity for the past 30 years, since it was a relatively small school,' doesn't think the University should stop growing. "Our universities and colleges can no longer be small if they are public," he comments. "There is no point at which you can say our educational institution can't grow. , This is particularly true in a highly indus trial society. The citizen must understand the world he lives in" to make intelligent decisions, Geer said. . He doesn't think that the University's growth should be restricted, but that it should be evolutionary so that rapid growth doesn't "overburden our facilities, impose on our faculties and shortchange our stu dents.'1 He pointed out that the University is a service institution which "must grow as quickly and as reasonably as it can to serve the state." " "This means that larger dorms and large classes are a necessity." The impersonality that accompanies that growth "is a problem that can't be fully solved," he thinks. However, he adds, "we can wipe out much of the impersonality that is inher ent in the system" if both faculty and stu dents contribute to its elimination. Hundreds of faculty members work on this all the time by inviting students into their homes, making themselves available in their offices, or chatting with students on campus, he said. Geer considers "the faculty at Chapel Hill, on the whole, probably more avail able to the student for counseling than any other university of this size." Geer, now Director of Student Aid, add ed that "we can't keep Chapel Hill small but we can be friendly and interested in our students, so that their intellectual growth can take on new dimensions and so that their pursuit of learning can be in dividualized and encouraged."
