Hundreds of thousands of persons were homeless in Texas in an area of 43,000 square miles turned , earlier into virtually a vast lake by Beulah's rains of more than 20 inches. The death toll was 38, including nine in Texas and 29 earlier in Mexico and the Caribbean.

Red Guns Said Invincible DONG HA, South Vietnam A top U.S. Marine commander said Saturday American firepower could never destroy the Communist guns bombarding Leatherneck outposts in the northern part of South Vietnam. He said the American military was deluding itself if it thought this was possible. In an interview at this Marine headquarters just south of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), Brig. Gen. John Metzger indicated that the North Vietnamese would probably try to invade South Vietnam in an attempt to overrun the American fortress at Con Thien. Metzger seemed to be hinting he thought the only way to stop the North Vietnamese assaults was an ailed ground invasion into the DMZ. MIGs To North Vietnam MOSCOW The Soviet Union announced Saturday a big program for delivering MIG jet fighter planes, antiaircraft rockets and other war material to North Vietnam in 1968. No figures were given, but the schedule was believed to be a sharp step up in Russian military aid to Hanoi. The current level of Soviet aid is estimated at $1 billion. t School Strike End Seen NEW YORK Negotiators in New York City's public school strike Saturday narrowed to thee the number of issues blocking an agreement to end the walkout by 50,000 teachers.

Student - Starting Otvn College News 1 Service By PAM HAWKINS of The Daily Tar Heel Staff It's just a stack of stuffed envelopes with return ad dresses right now. But Frank Girard, a freshman from Gastonia, is hoping that all this cor respondence from .schools across nation which is clut tering up his room in Granville West will soon 'settle into the foundation for a well-greased news service. American News Associates is what Girard dubbed his in tercollegiate news service in August of this summer when he initiated , operations in his home town. Girard and a journalistically inclined friend of . his in Gastonia began collecting news from various colleges and ped dling it to newspapers, magazines, and television and radio news bureaus. Working this summer with limited funds, limited man-v power and limited outlets for the service, Girard is hoping to expand ANA while here as a student and erase all of the limitations.

"The news service retains 20 per cent of money made on accepted articles for opera tional costs, and the remaining money is sent to the author of the piece. "Sometimes we charge the news media for articles we supply asking their regular rates And then, again sometimes we provide our news free if we are trying to get to know them and let them have a sample of our work. "The broad purpose of the organization is not for. monetary gain right now," Girard said. "We mainly want to give college students who are interested in working with news media the opportunity to try it out." Girard said that he and his friend edited the copy that was sent to them this summer and then sent back the revised articles to the writer. They used an off-set machine in Girard's father's office to reproduce the final script which was sent in to the various news media. And now he's trying to get production rolling here. Girard will meet in Roland Parker III Tuesday at 8 p.m. with all persons interested in inquiring into the news service.

C The Uni versity of South Carolina caught North Carolina sleeping early in the second half and stormed for a pair of back-to-back touchdowns and a 16-10 victory here Saturday night. The Gamecocks drove 75 yards for a touchdown by War ren Muir that gave them a 9-7 lead with 10:40 left in the third quarter and for the Tar Heels that was the ball game. David Riggs fumbled the en suing kickoff to set up an-2 other scoring drive from the Carolina 28. It took the winners only seven plays to up their margin, halfback Benny Gam to crashing in from the one less than three minutes after Muir's four yard thrust. The only scoring North Caro lina could muster in the sec ond half was a 24-yard field goal by Don Hartig. The loss, as slight as it was, nevertheless left the Tar Heels looking for their first win after an opening loss to N. C. State last week. In fact, they haven't won since Michigan fell 21-7 in the third game last season. South Carolina remains un beaten. It punished Iowa State on this same field last Satur day night 34-3. The Gamecocks were a dif ferent team after the inter mission: faster, stronger and clearly North Carolina's su perior. The Tar Heels had taken a 7-0 lead on the last play of the first quarter when full back Tommy Dempsey scur ried 21 yards for a touchdown. Only a 37-yard field goal by Jimmy Poole showed for the Gamecocks' efforts. North Carolina had an op portunity to perhaps win in the third quarter after defensive guard Mike Hollifield plucked a Mike Fair pass out of the air on the South Carolina 39. However, fhe Tar Heels were forced to punt after gaining only two yards. The Gamecocks allowed "I can't promise them anything except 80 per cent commission on all articles that they write which are accepted by a news agency," Girard,. said. "I want to let this thing go as big as it will, but right now I need people to help me with the organization here. "I'm at a total loss on how to set up the service here, but I would like to negotiate with campus newspapers to use some of our articles. "It would link colleges closer together and help each un derstand the problems the others face and the ways that they are coping with them.

"It worked out beautifully," she said. "By pure chance both of my English courses are in the same room on the first floor of Bingham.

Joe Cowan of the Residence Halls Improvement Com mission, Don Campbell, The Daily Tar Heel associate editor; Laura Owens, former assistant women's attorney general; and Ken Neher, governor of Ehringhaus Residence College join com mission chairman Harry Dif fendal, Uuniversity Party representative from EhrT inghaus. "Joe Cowan lives in the Up per Quad, and will look into Lenoir's food service on North Campus. He has also been in on the Book Exchange price discussions from the begin ning," Travis said, "Don Campbell was " on ther-t: Chancellors' hook exchange student committee under President Bob Powell last year. Ken Neher will be the commission's liaison with south campus and the Chase cafeteria food sercice." Although chairman Harry Diffendal is a member of UniversityParty, Travis noted that the appointment was not made out of political con sideration. "This is a non-partisan ef fort. Diffendal impressed me with his work at the NSA meeting, and last week ex pressed interest in this issue. .. He's done investigative work like this before and will get to the bottom of it no matter how long it takes." The commissions job is (1) to determine whether prices can reasonably be lowered, how they could be lowered (2) or determine whether the prices can be justified and what the profits are used for. "I wouldn't want to bias the commission's work by saying now that I smell a rat, but if - this is a case of "side-door tui tion charges, I'm strongly op ed to meet in the auditorium at Murphey. When everyone is assembled, the group will break up into smaller discussion groups, and where it goes from there is up to the coeds. More than just providing a forum to air complaints, the seminars will give the coed her chance to determine for herself what her position is. Discussions will be informal and unstructured, and any form of dress will be ac ceptable. Miss Parker, from Valdese, said UNC is considered "virtually inaccessible" to wheel chair cases because of its large number of steps. But, with the help of students and administrators, she has overcome this obstacle. A 1967 graduate of St. -Andrews College in Laurin burg, she was at first a little anxious when she learned she would be coming to a large university. "The school I graduated from barely had 1,000 students. There are more than that in my dorm complex alone." four. The South Carolina aerial attack picked up 155 yards compared to 73 for Carolina. North Carolina's half time lead of 7-3 was reminescent of the State game when the Tar Heels led by the same score at intermission but still lost 13-7. It took Carolina only 12 plays to move 80 yarris for the touchdown. In the drive which netted four first downs, the longest maneuver other than the scoring run by Dempsey rm Four More aps JL posed to it," Travis said. Travis said the investigation is "not an attack" on the Book Exchange or the food services, but an attempt to "lay the facts open." He said he expects the com mission to meet at least once with Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson, but that most of the commission's work will be with Tom Shetley, director of the Book Exchange, and George Prillaman, director of the University Food Service. "It's a chance for Shetley and Prillaman to meet with us and achieve some positive results. And I'd like trose results to be a decrease in prices if at all possible. At any rate there should be a Aid Service Funds TerIlledAdeqllate, By DONNA REIFSNIDER of The Daily Tar Heel' Staff' Last year approximately one out of four students received financial aid from the universi ty. More than 4,000 students received better than two million dollars ' in form of scholarships, loans, work-study programs, part-time jobs, grants in-aid and educational opportunity grants. William Geer, director of student aid, said, "UNC has federal and university sources to meet the essential educa tional expenses of any student who has the need." Need is a primary requirement, in gran ting such assistance. The Student Aid Office uses both state and federal funds. Four major federal programs in which the office participates include the College Work-Study Plan, National Defense Loans, Educational Opportunity Grants and Guaranteed Loans. Students from low income families may work part-time to pay college expenses. Under the College Work-Study pro gram their pay is sup plemented (up to 15 hours a week) one dollar per hour in addition to the basic pay rate. The student may continue in this program during the sum mer while employed full-time in an approved public or non profit organization. Begun in 19 6 6, the Guaranteed Loan Program is designed for students from middle or upper income families who are financially burdened in attempting to send several children to college. The government helps the student pay the interest on a loan from Mersei She said the "neatest thing about Carolina is that people here, are the same as people in a small school. Everybody is nice. I guess everybody in North Carolina is the same." It wasn't as though anybody moved a mountain to get Miss Parker into UNC. But people are working to make her stay fruitful. The Dean of Women's office passes hardly a day that somebody doesn't spend some time helping her.
