Yes, this week where interviews are Bombs Could End Wh W ar-- WASHINGTON The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff believes the Vietnam war could be ended in a relatively short time if the American military were allowed to cut off Communist sup plies pouring in from Russia and Red China. . In testimony before the Senate armed services sub-committee Aug. 16 that was released Tuesday, Gen. Earle G. Wheeler called for the closing of the port of Haiphong, terming it one of the most important military moves of the war. He urged unceasing bombing of North Vietnam, including rail lines from South China to Hanoi "until we really attrite these people to where they cannot support their war in the South." Briton Calls For Peace Talks UNITED NATIONS British Foreign Secretary George Brown, backing the U.S. peace offensive, called Tuesday for im ediate Vietnam peace talks with or without an end to the fighting. He said it was "tragic" that North Vietnam had spurned the many negotiating opportunities offered it. Brown, in a speech to the General Assembly, said such op portunities to negotiate "still remain open" to the Hanoi regime. He joined the United States in asking the Hanoi government precisely how it would react if Washington ended the bombing of North Vietnam in an effort to get negotiations started. Neiv York School Strike Over NEW YORK Mayor John V. Lindsay announced Tuesday the end of the 16-day teachers strike that all but closed the na tion's largest school system and drove angered parents to seek stntp intervention. ' ' Lindsay said the striking United Federation of Teachers, and the Board of Education had "clarified" the oustanding issues in a contract dispute, adding that he expected the schools to resume normal classes "within a very short time." The union mentioned Thursday afternoon as a possibility. Romney Crosses Picket Line ATLANTA Gov. George Romney bulled his way through a Negro picket line today to reach the Atlanta city schools of f ices Negroes were protesting double sessions in predominantly Negro schools. Calling him "Mr. President," the Rev. Joseph E. Boone, an Atlanta Negro minister, told Romney "we want you to come out and march with us." An aide to the Michigan Republican tried to clear a path up the stairs to the education offices, with Romeny on his heels. But the pickets, led by Boone, blocked his path and demanded an audience." Rhodesian Chief Refused Visa WASHINGTON The State Department indicated Tuesday it would not, permit South Rhodesian Premier Ian Smith whose regime the U.S. does not recognize, to visit this country to address students at the University of Virginia. The department spokesman, Robert J. McCloskey, said Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark and Secretary of State Dean Rusk acting jointly, could rule Smith admissible. They have done so in the case of some Rhodesians, notably students. "However," McCloskey said, "generally we have refused to grant waivers to persons purporting to be heads of state or prin cipal ministers of states we do not recognize."

Necessaw By KAREN FREEMAN of The Daily Tar Heel Staff An immediate increase of parking registration fees to $30 to finance two parking struc tures will keep the parking situation from getting drastically worse, Wilbur Smith and Associates reported to the Student-Faculty Traffic Safety Committee Tuesday. But it would take fees of $80 or more per car owner to im prove the situation, the report continued. Indications were that the system will not be adopted, but no decisions have yet been reached by the committee, which makes recommendations to the chancellor. The report was more than a year in preparation by the Columbia, S.C., company, and it cost $18,000. The $30 fees would enable the University to begin building immediately two of seven garages called for by the proposed parking system pro ject. Implementation of the recommendations, which would cost about $3.3 million, still would not solve the situation, but would keep UNC even with its parking problem. After paying a $30 registra tion fee, the student still would not be assured of having a parking place. If nothing is done, by 1977 the University will have a 1400 space deficit during peak hours.

Dr. B. T. Elliott Jr., a resi- dent pediatric physician at NC. Memorial Hospital, made the complaint in a letter dated Sept. 17 that was sent to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance. Elliott said the University was guilty of "persistent overt discrimination" in its hiring policies. He specifically named the school's maintenance department, laundry service, building and grounds depart ment, telephone company and electric company, as well as the hospital. Elliott, 27, a Negro, said" Tuesday he has not received a reply from the Labor Depart ment, but he hopes an investi gation will follow. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson, when asked for com ment on the complaint, said he had received a letter from Elliott last week, but was unaware that a complaint had been filed. He said he was "puzzled" as to why the charges were made. "Every agency in the Universi ty has been notified as to what our policy is regarding hiring that is, without regard to race, color or creed." The chancellor said he has had no personal contact with. Elliott, but he did reply to the doctor's letter, assuring hinx that the University's policy ort niring has been "repeatedly; and "expUcitiy'7stated as being non-discriminatory A federal investigation into 800-space deficit, the report said. : : v Wilbur Smith also threw a damper on the idea of a bus system, saying that it would not significantly improve the situation because most com muters live farther from cam pus than a bus system could conceivably operate.

Tobacco Industry, Surgeon General Says RALEIGH (UPI) The U.S. Surgeon General, visiting the heart of tobaccoland, said Tuesday the North Carolina tobacco industry is not as im portant as ending the health hazards of smoking. Dr. William H. Stewart, here to accept a tract of land for the National Environmental Health Center, said in answer to a question he could not "weigh the tobacco industry of North Carolina against 55,000 deaths caused by lung cancer each year." Stewart said he had no doubt of the relationship "of lung cancer to smoking. "The 1964 Surgeon General's report proved cigarette smok ing caused cancer," he said.

By STEVE KNOWLTON of The Daily Tar Heel Staff About 400 students jammed into Hinton James social room Monday night to hear a history instructor tell them that modern civilization "is a good course that could be made a lot better." Dr. Paul Pinkney, assistant history professor and lecturer for the honors modern civiliza tion section, told students from all over south campus . mostly freshmen that many facets of the course were out moded. . Calling himself a practical revolutionary, Pinkney urged the students to challenage the instructors if they do not like the way the course was being taught. . , , ; "If you don't like Modern CivV is being taught now he said, "organize to change it. Revolutions are m the air. he Termed mitM of south campus with central campus, however. The two parking structures that would be built first under the plan would be one adjacent to the new student union and one in the vicinity of the medical center. They would be designated for faculty, . administration and medical center personnel use, but everyone would have to pay the increased fees. "The 'report released a few weeks ago pointed out the ex- tent of this cause-and-effect relationship. "the debate now is what we can do about it," he added. The surgeon general said he agreed with "the objective" of Sen. Robert F.

The lack of flexibility in teaching methods, whereby an instructor is required to follow the course outline rigidly. Modern civilization used to be an inter-departmental course, Pinkney said, "and a syllabus grew out of this idea where a student would read out of a history text one week, an economics book the next, and so on. . "Now, however, it is entirely under the history department and I feel a text that a student One of the objectives of the surgeon general's office was to try to find a safer cigarette, as well as trying to get old smokers to stop and pro spective ones to refrain from smoking. In answer to a reporter's question, Stewart said the use of alcohol in moderation was "probably not harmful," though alcoholism was. "We don't know as much about alcohol as we do cigaret tes," he said. Some North Carolina con gressmen have suggested that hazard warnings should-also be placed on liquor. Smoking will take up "a small percentage" of the in vestigations conducted in the Environmental Health Center, as well as alcoholism and in vestigations of air and water pollution. Former Governor Luther Hodges presented the deed to the surgeon general at a luncheon meeting here. As he handed over the document, he called the installation "one of the most meaningful things in this country." Gov. Dan K. Moore said he had "a great deal of satisfac tion" entertaining the Surgeon general. He promised "not to talk with him too much about the tobacco and health con troversyuntil later."

Arts and Sciences students may register from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. for pass-fail courses this week in the college office, 203 South Building. Students are asked to read the Arts and Sciences pass-fail regulations before register ing. About 100 of the college's over 3000 students have elected to take pass-fail course so far. The College of Arts and Sciences reports that there have been ' few cases of students attempting to register The Time Machine Take a closer look the clock face is backwards.

He staled his purpose in fil ing the complaint: "I feel the people who need employment are the poor, and the people who are subjected to discrimination in Chapel Hill are thepoor.

"In fact, I doubt that two per cent of the modern civ. in structors are qualified to teach sourcebook material," h e said. Pinkney urged students assigned sourcebook material read it. "I suppose he'll say Yes.' Then ask him to give you three or four major ideas to think about during the reading. "After two or three times, he'll probably stop asking you to read it," Pinkney said. Regarding too much at tention to details of little significance, Pinkney said, "I don't feel this is very widespread at all, but if you have such an instructor who says he will devote more than 20 or 30 per cent of his tests to it, challange him on it. "Go out on a limb," he said, ."and ask the" instructer why he's devoting so much of the test to picayunish stuff." (Continued on Pare 6) for courses under pass-fail which they are ineligible to take. Almost 95 per cent of the students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences have completed their General College requirements, so there has been little confusion con cerning students attempting to take courses under pass-fail that are outside their major but still fall under General College requirements. The college will compile a report on how many students in each discipline register for pass-fail courses, and what courses they register for, after all applications are in.
