October 10, 1967 TO TTv iPCCDF JLPFe By HUNTER GEORGE of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Registration for a series of five weekly panel discussions on the use of drugs begins to day. Topics for the meetings, which are free and open to the public, are: opium and related drugs, depressant drugs and alcohol, stimulant drugs, hallucinogens and mari juana. One topic will be discussed each week, beginning Wed nesday night, Oct. 18. Exact time and place of the meetings Crash Blamed On Stray Plane ASHEVILLE A private plane was off course and headed in the wrong direction when it collided with a Piedmont jet airliner near here July 19 killing 82 persons, the report of a federal crash investigator showed Monday. The possibility the private plane pilot was confused by con flicting instructions from the Asheville airport tower was raised, and it appeared from one report that the jetliner made a turn to a collision course at 4,200 feet altitude instead of 5,000 feet as the tower instructed. It was also disclosed from the recorded voices of the jetliner crew that someone apparently the captain was smoking in the cockpit" during the takeoff and there was good-natured bantering over this 20 seconds before the collision. The possibility that the private plane pilot was confused by conflicting instructions came in testimony by Col. N. H. Van Sicklen of Hendersonville, a professional, pilot testifying, at. a hearing here,He said he believed, Q "strong possibility of con-, fusion could result from a switch in instrucUons to the pilot, especially if he were unfamiliar with the airport. The private plane pilot, DaVid Addison, 40, was from Lebanon, Mo. School Integration Is Ordered WASHINGTON The Supreme Court in effect told the deep South Monday to get to work iinmediately on a completely in tegrated school system. In a terse announcement, the Supreme Court refused to review an order of a special, 12-judge 5th Circuit Apppeals Court. The order had told six southern states to open all grades in all public schools to both Negroes and whites this school term. In other action the Supreme Court agreed to decide whether a 1965 law forbidding the burning of draft cards is constitutional. First Apollo Flight Next Summer CAPE KENNEDY The first manned flight of a fireproofed Apollo moonship is now set for next July or August, agout 18 months after the launch date for the ill-fated Apollo 1 and four to five months later than the revised target date. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported the new Apollo timetable Monday and blamed the latest delay on modifications that are taking longer than expected at the North American Rockwell plant at Downey, Calif. , The spacecraft for the new attempt to open project Apollo manned operation is being virtually rebuilt as a result of the capsule fire that killed Apollo 1 astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White and Roger B. Chaffee during a ground test here Jan. 27. Highway Appropriations Seen Cut WASHINGTON Transportation Secretary Alan S. Boyd said Monday the federal aid to highways program could be cut in half in the battle between Congress and President Johnson over spen ding. In a telegram to all state governors, Boyd said the economy fight could force cuts of up to $2.2 billion in the program that now spends about $4.4 billion a year. He said that possible reductions might make it necessary to put quarterly ceilings on federal funds obligated for highway con struction programs. The ceilings could go into effect Nov. 1, Boyd said. Terrorism Rocks Hong Kong HONG KONG Communist gangs scattered more than 100 bombs throughout this British crown colony over the weekend, marking the National Chinese "double ten" day Tuesday with terrorism. One of the bombs exploded on a busy street in the Kowloon district, killing one man and injuring three other persons. The new upsurge of terrorism was aimed at wrecking the "double ten" national day celebrations, so named to represent the 10th day of the 10th month. It was on Oct. 10, 1911 that Dr. Sun Yat-sen led the revolution that overthrew the Manchu dynas ty in China. American Planes Bomb North SAIGON American jet bombers swept into North Vietnam Monday for a new series of strikes against Communist supply lines. Communist reports told of fierce dogfights over Hanoi and said North Vietnamese MIGs shot down one U.S. raider. There were no details from American headquarters in Siagon, but it appeared that hundreds of U.S. Navy and Air Force planes had taken advantage of clear skies to' blast highway, rail and other transport facilities in the heavily defended Hanoi-Haiphong area. titration TED has not been announced. The panels, to consist of faculty and students familiar with each topic, will explore the subjects from three angles: composition and biological activity, medical aspects, and social, legal and ethical considerations. Registration forms may be obtained until Friday at boxes located in GM lobby and in Beard Hall. The idea originated recently - with several students who talk ed with Dean George P. Hager of the Pharmacy School. It was decided that an "open Daily Ear l?rrl World News BRIEFS By United Press International .Beg MS fflmeJls dialogue" concerning the use of drugs on campus would be beneficial to students. Ken Day, one of the originators of the discussion idea, said he hoped a result of the meetings would be a "balanced outlook on drugs, not just the medical aspects but also the legal and ethical side." He said there may be a stu dent moderator for each panel, but that the panel composition probably . would consist mostly of faculty and other persons having a knowledge of drugs.' If this series of discussions is fruitful, Day said, a second series may follow it in the near future. Speakers from off cam pus may be invited to these meetings. ' I .- " r, - '"' 1 ? .. ... ....

They could have had influence, but they were defeated by the in troduction of drugs." Outlined by a flickering strobe light, the psychiatrist perched on a tall stool, looked out across the candle-lit Crossroads Cafe, and began to talk about the end of the hippie movement in a quiet, authoritative voice. The flower children brought on their own destruction, Dr. Morris Lipton of N . C . Memorial Hospital told his overflow audience and this destruction came in the form ' of LSD. Lipton, who had spent the summer visiting San Fran cisco's Haight-Asbury section hippieland of the Pacific characterized the hippie move ment as a "sweet, innocent, laudable thing that carried the seeds of its own destruc tion." Hippies "expected a magic to inner experience and change," he said. "But there isn't any magic just hard work." Lipton told the crowd that the movement had been a reaction to the materialism of the Protestant ethic and the middle-class values of modern America. "In your day, you can't aspire materially. There is more room on the bottom than on the top. Looking for those lost values means giving up privileges." The movement in compasses all classes of people . with various motivations, but their common bond seems to be a belief in. Protestant ethic, he said. The hippies, said Lipton, are faced wits an acute conflict between internal and external controls the demands of conscience and society.

The 40-minute speech will be followed by a 20 minute question-and-answer session. Goldwater . is also ex pected to comment on the 1968 presidential race, the United Nations, the poverty program and the economy. After his open address, Goldwater will speak to the Carolina Political Union in a closed session.

"You will be quite old before you decide what inner controls are most valid," he told his au dience. Hippies may have begun as socialist activists who decided the fight was futile he noted. These activists may be the epitome of the Protestant ethic values. "Young people think the system is just too tough. . .Maybe you think the world is a juggernaut going to hell and there is not a damn thing you can do about it." 8tS! By WAYNE HURDER of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Two subcommittees of the judicial committee of Student Legislature passed out favorably two bills one to abolish class officers, another to restructure them Monday after public hearings on them were held. The two bills will now go to the full judicial committee for consideration before Thursday night's legislative session.

More than 120 delegates from 21 colleges in the state scheduled three instruction sessions on draft counseling for Oct. 24, Oct. 31 and Nov 15 to be held at the Friends Meeting House in Chapel Hill. The two day Conference on the War and the Draft which met at the Methodist Student Center of Duke University was Am college. Registration will continue through Friday in Y Court, and from 5 to 7 p.m. in Chase Cafeteria..... O ujpmes 1L JL Says Flower Children Bring Lipton then delved into the physiological effects of LSD: "As a chemical expert I can say that anyone who stays on acid four or five years ends up in a nuthouse permanently." LSD and similar drugs in terefere with the transmission of nervous impulses between nerve endings (synapse), the psychiatrist said. They distort the signals sent into the cen tral nervous system, causing unnatural responses. Continual use of such drugs ultimately affects the nervous icer mission as a part of student government. Subcommittee B, headed by Dane Perry, XI (UP), passed out favorable with a 1-0 vote a hill introduced by Johnny Williford, MD IX (UP) that would abolish freshman, sophomore and junior class of ficers. The two abstentions were by Dane Perry, who felt the com mittee chairman should not take a position except in case of a tie, and by Bruce Jolly, MD XII (UP). Senior class president Don Johnson told Benton's in vestigating panel that the move to abolish class officers "is the most, ridiculous thing I've heard of." ' "It's not the office that's at fault, its the officers," Johnson told the legislators. Bob TyndaU, MD I (SP) questioned whether "there is really division by class, and do we reallv want p1a;! iden- titv " Bland SimnQnn last vpar's freshman r!a nrPsirW said ne didn't see any real need been in my posi- for havinft o Bills Oil SLIT ep conducted in eight workshops ranging in subject from vigils and draft counseling to com munity canvessing. The conference, called by the North Carolina Student Com mittee Against the War (SCAW), was termed by John Pancake a junior at Davidson College from Tuscaloosa, Ala., "pretty successful because people from small colleges got information about what they could do on their campuses." Action taken by the con ference included plans for an office in the Durham-Chapel Hill area to serve as a clearing house for student anti-war efforts througsout the state. Announcement was made of O system's 'wiring' and drug users wind up having psychedelic experiences without taking the drug. Lipton added that drug users often show s c h i z o id ten dencies. "Chronic marijuana users eventually become slobs, too," said Lipton.Marijuana has been found to contain a com pound which behaves chemically very much like LSD and similar drugs.

The newspaper, which will have access to national news sources involved in the move ment, is expected to have a circulation of more than 2,000, according to Miss Wells. The Durham Peace Committee will handle the bulk of the research for the publication. Students present also formed plans for starting weekly peace vigils at their schools similar to those which already exist in Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham and Charlot te. A work shop canvass of Durham middle class residents taken Saturday morning revealed "that the majority of the people were opposed to the war and president' Johnson's present policy," Pancake said.

This fact came to light Mon day after several people com plained that they had been charged double the normal rates for taxi rides last Satur day. One of the riders -who was charged a double rate was the wife of a Chapel Hill Aldermen. The Alderman said Monday that he would definite ly inquire about the seven-hour rate hike at Monday night's meeting of the Town Board of Aldermen. A spokesman for the Tar Heel Cab Co. said that the doubling of the taxi fares were approved by the Town govern ment when other across-the-board taxi hikes were ap proved a few months ago. But four of the six Aldermen said Monday iday that they were of the football Satur- fiikes. unaware day fare hikes.

I've had LSD and undergone psychoanalysis. I found the lat ter a more rewarding experience. Class Officer Bill Discussed . Judicial subcommittee passes out Krichbaum bill tions about the war, foreign policy and the draft, and to organize students on these campuses," said Lyn Wells, an 18-year-old campus organizer for the Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC). .Miss Wells, who dropped out of high school after finishing the tenth grade in ForestviHe, McL, travels from school to school for SSOC organizing students sympathetic to the movement at a salary of $12.50 per week. She said that in addition to her "campus traveling", "three people wno are expens on foreign policy and the draft will be traveling together to 20 North Carolina campuses from No 1 to the end of the month for SSOC." In addition to the intensive campus canvassing, "Stop the Draft Week" has been delcared for Oct. 16-23 and "many campuses have planned activities," Miss Wells said. She declined to mention specific activity which had been organized. Taxis Rates was necessary because the cabs were often involved in traffic jams on "football Saturdays and that "drivers could not make any money at the normal rates." One student reported that a trip to Eastgate Shopping Center which normally cost $3 cost $6 Saturday afternoon... . Another student said that a k" ride for himself and his date" from near the fire station to Kenan Stadium cost $2.40. .
