Moore's office Monday said "The Governor cannot understand why anyone would protest riot training for the National Guard as ordered by the Pentagon unless he was planning to engage in a riot." This was the Governor's comment when questioned about a demonstration in Durham Sunday when that city's National Guard unit engaged in a drill on riot control. Approximately 70 persons, including controversial Negro social worker Howard Fuller, a lecturer at UNC, picketed the training session for approximately an hour. There were no incidents, although several carloads of police arrived shortly after the demon strators appeared. Police informed them they would have to leave the seven-block area which was barri caded for the drills. Last week, Moore said it was a "serious mistake" for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to have hired Fuller as a lecturer in the Department of Social Work. Bitter Battle Rages In DMZ SAIGON Retaliating against North Vietnamese shells so thick they "fell like rain," American forces pressed the advantage of superior air, sea and ground power Monday in the bitter battle near the Demili tarized Zone. Reports from the front Monday night said both sides had suffered heavy losses as the trerich-type combat raged into its third week around the Marine outpost at Con Thien. - As American fighting men pressed the intense bombardment of the DMZ, Gen. William C. West moreland said in Saigon that "hard-hitting" Allied forces had made "tremendous strides toward military victory over the past two years." The American com mander added: "We are now in a position from which the picture of ultimate military success may be viewed with increasing clarity." Rio Grande Overflows Dams HARLINGEN, Tex.

Chinese Minister Is Deposed LONDON Diplomatic reports Monday reported the downfall and "disgrace" of Communist China's once-powerful foreign minister, Marshal Chen Yi. The reports said Premier Chou En-lai officially has taken over Chen's duties. But Communist party intelligence chief Kang Shen was understood to be the man pulling the wires of China's seemingly erratic foreign policy.

The By DONNA REIFSNIDER of The Daily Tar Heel Staff ' "Dissatisfaction comes in when people think that aca demics are divided into the wrong baskets.'" Dr. Joseph Sloane made this comment during a dis cussion, "Academic Expecta tions," at Westminster Fellow ship Sunday night. He con tinued, "Students are dissat isfied when they are not get ting what they should under a course marked, say, socio logy. We (the faculty) are caught in a cross-fire, because nobody- can alter the baskets ut there that demand that students know what the bas kets hold here." Jed Dietz, Student Body Vice-President, and Dr. Step hen Baxter of the History De partment, led the discussion. They presented two points of view. Said Dietz, "Our education al system is dysfunctional in that it is not educational. The University should be teaching students how to learn, and I don't think it is doing this. The University's purpose should provide atmosphere that excites education. . .a process that, hopefully, will continue one's whole life." "If you come here looking for us to give you a life, you are wrong," answered Dr. Baxter. "If you come to my course, I can tell you what books to read, but I cannot tell you what vour life ought 'V v.l fit A v t All P', f '4 it 4 Staff Photo by Ernest H.

Questions Atmosphere By WAYNE HURDER of The Daily Tar Heel Staff . - Women's Residence Council chairman Sharon Rose com mended Dean of Women Kath erine Carmichael Sunday for keeping a personal atmos phere for women at. UNC but questioned whether keeping things personal meant keeping a tight watch over everyone or "recognizing individual needs and interests." Miss Rose spoke at a stu dent party meeting. She emphasized that "with out the concern of our women students here we can't expect any changes in our rules."

Moore has been issued an invitation to attend the ceremonies, but he has not, as yet, given a defi nite commitment to come. MesMeiic Golle Large By STEVE KNOWLTON of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Jed Dietz told the residence college governors yesterday that Carolina "doesn't have a residence college system by any standards other' than our own." The vice president of the student body said that in spite of the tremendous steps taken in the last two years, "after lookingat Yale, Michi gan State, California and others, all we really have are large dorms with very good people working in them." In the meeting of all resi dence college governors, Dietz expressed hope that the up coming residence college con- "You cannot generalize about what students should know. I don't think students are ex posed to a large frame of op portunity their first two years." Dr. Sloane interposed from the audience, "You don't have to take all those requir ed courses your first two years. Students can space these out if they like, but it usually is not advisable." to college, she told the audi ence. "They are getting a differ- ent kind of philosophy in high school. . .that says you learn by doing," Miss Rose explain ed. This philosophy is contin ued in classes in college, but outside the coed "finds a con tradiction between the social and academic atmosphere." She said most women stu dents don't want to abolish rules right, away, but want to do it gradually.

Senior class officers will not be considered, "because we need someone to preside at commencement," said Harry Diffendal who will present the bill to committee. peak ay .University Trustees are also invited. The purpose of University Day is to commemorate the cornerstone laying of Old East Building in 1793. - Classes will . be suspended during the activities which will be telecast over WUNC TV.

Dorais, Says Dietz . ::.. f erence would "do great great deal to improve the sit uation." , This conference should be the greatest step taken so far toward improving the dorms on campus and so far, that's about all they are dorms." Dietz said the residence col lege system was greatly limit ed by the physical structure of the campus living areas. "And me administration is, in turn, limited by the housing ceiling ($3,400 per student) set by the state legislature." As a possible solution to the fianacial shortage, Dietz said he and others were consider ing private financial support from a large foundation. Nothing was definite, he Viet War Of Duke Dr. Robert I. Crane, Duke history professor and South- east Asia expert, and Dr. Robert S.

FpOSS!l -1 "The bill came about be cause the class officers didn't have any power. Whatever they could do, GM or Student Government could do just as well. Bland Simpson, who was freshman president last year, really started things off. He held the office and found that there was nothing to do. It was a waste of time and en ergy." Supporting Diffendal, Willi ford, who wrote the bill said, "Feelings have generally been built up in Student Govern ment that class officers were doing little. "The elections are a pain requiring three weeks of work every night of the week. It also costs all grades of mo ney." Simpson, has high hopes for the referendum. "I'm confident that the re ferendum will show that the student body does not want class officers," he said. ' "! don't know why class of ficers ever came into being.. Somebody just thought they were needed. Last year I found that I just didn't have anything to do. Class officers aren't mentioned in the con stitution. They don't have any thing to do." iAcrding to Ken Starling, chairman of the rules com mittee the- bill will be con . sidered in reverse order. "Usually a bill goes from the legislature to committee, Jul . out ims oui is going to com mittee first. I guess they want to get it through fast." said, but the Ford Foundation has been '"very concerned with residential colleges on other campuses and. has giv en a great deal of money for their improvement." This money, if obtained, might be used for the con struction of a separate build ing as part of one of the re sidence colleges. In it would be facilities for seminar rooms, a library housing space and perhaps a small auditor ium for lectures. We feel the university is really getting interested in this concept," Dietz said. "It's financial support of the resi dence college conference in October is really encouraging and is really appreciated."
