Its supposed to be warmer today, so week since temperatures have dropped much - maybe someone will sit outdoors, below the point wbT li is comfortable to sit By HUNTER GEORGE of Th Daily Tor Eeel St&3 The need for possible revam ping of the American education system, in order to stem a trend away from leadership development was hinted Wednesday by a top educator. Dr. Howard W. Johnson, president of Massachusetts Institute cf Technology, said the United States needs to ad minister a "leadership vac cine" to itself, and that the universities bear much of the responsibility for ac complishing this. At preheat, ue scuu, uxu ua- . t i . tion is discouraging potential i j leaders from assuming JUL -LL decision-making positions. 'Today's youngster. . .sees little of his elders, much of his peers, and few opportunities of relating his own system to con structive adult leadership behavior. "By the time he reaches col lege, the pattern of non relating to leadership responsibilities is often well established." Johnson gave the final ad dress of a four-day "Leadership In The '80s" con ference in Memorial Hall Wednesday night. He said that when the stu dent reaches college his am bitions toward leadership may be further discouraged by his professors. Educators "see outside their fields and they do not trust what they see. "They tend to protect their students from involvement in a trustless society by influencing them, away from the tough, demanding and risky if not morally hazardous role. of the bearer of responsibility. - "Worse still, they idealize an immature protest point of view toward a society they essen tially distrust themselves Johnson said. As a result, society breeds the "anti-leader." The M. I. T. head, who was a U. S. delegate to the United Nations Conference on Science and Technology in Geneva (1963), offered suggestions for stemming what he considers a trend away from leadership. Among these was a re evaluation of the American university system and possibly "radically new forms o f university structure, goverance and staffing." These may be necessary, he said, to allow the universities to "step out of their narrow role of simply being the greenhouses where talents and ideas are developed now to be used later." The universities must become the places where leadership is developed and ex ercised, since excellence and achievement find expression in . institutional forms today, he saM. A.

World News BRIEFS By United Press International Eleven Astronauts Arrive Next Chrysler Bargains With UAW DETROIT (UPI) Chrysler Corp. and the United Auto Workers faced each other in a drawn-out bargaining session Wed nesday with a strike scheduled for midnight unless a settlement was reached. Thousands of UAW members across the nation couldn t wait for the outcome. During the countdown toward the midnight deadline set by the UAW, locals in four states walked off the job, halting production at eight plants. Nearly 25,000 of Chrysler's 103,000 members walked off the job and more were idled in Detroit when 600 drivers refused to shut tle parts between Detroit area plants, and the big Jefferson Avenue assembly plant ran out of supplies and shut down. Communists Plan World Congress MOSCOW Leaders of Communist parties visiting Moscow for the 5Cth anniversary of the Soviet Union have agreed to convene a world Communist congress next year, informed sources said Wednesday. The first world gathering of the Communist movement since the Moscow conference of 1960 will probably be held in Budapest, in the late spring or early summer, the sources said. About 80 foreign Communist parties sent delegations to the Soviet anniversary but although they met under one roof several times, they held no conference to discuss joint problems con nected with the split in the international movement. However, Soviet party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev, in his open ing keynote anniversary speech, called for a world meeting and he was seconded by Polish leader Wladyslaw Gemulka. Central Highland Attacks Resume Eleven new American astronauts will come to Chapel Hill Monday and Tuesday for space training at the Morehead Planetarium the first to train here since August, 1966. Included in the NASA con tingent from Houston, Tex., will be UNC graduate Dr. William E.- Thornton, who received his MJ). degree at the UNC Medical School. The 11 astronauts will engage in navigation training at the Planetarium and get thorough briefings in star guidance and recognition. In addition, they will audit a . student astronomy lab session The Di-Phi petition -calling and study scientific exhibits in for a campus-wide reterenaum the Planetarium. By THORPE McKENZIE of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Dr. Timothy Leary's battle cry for the potential LSD user "Tune in, turn on and drop out" was picked apart according to its pharmocological and medical aspects Wednesday afternoon during the fourth "Drugs in Our Society" panel discussion. . "Leary probably surprised himself by the potency of those words," said Dr. Tyndall P. Harris v of the Student Infirmary. "The once-prominent doctor seems to have dropped out" himself now, as his LSD study has neverbeen published ' and his followers seem to be decreasing in number." Dr. Lewis Harris, associate professor of pharmocology of the School of Medicine, discussed the chemical forma tion Of hallucinogen drugs, and medical evidence as to the results of experiments with them. "The brain is a very com plex organism with many systems kept in balance by chemical elements," the pro fessor said. "The use of an hallucinogen seems to upset this chemical balance, thereby producing the "trip" LSD-users speak of," he said. An LSD-user "drops out" when he becomes a native oi w.aruiii, pauuuiugicuijr ucpcuucut uu the drug, according to the doc tor. "People can become ad dicted to LSD after only one dose because the experience may be so gratifying. This is not the case with other drugs such as amphetamine and marijuana," he said.

The eleven new astronauts all have doctorate degrees. Three are from MTT; one is a mathematician from the TTnivprsitv of Virginia and another is England. By STEVE KNOWLTEN of Th Daily Tar Heel Staff Traffic Director Alonzo Squires explained Wednesday why the Bell Tower parking lot is off limits this year to stu dent parking even though the lot is seldom more than half fulL "When the construction at the hospital gets going in full swing, there simply won't be room for student's cars" Squires said. He said there have been complaints from students who wanted to know why only faculty and staff could use the lot when last year "C" stickers D Phi Petition Goal Reached Anthony F. Jenzano, Planetarium director, will be in charge of the instruction. He will be assisted by astronaut Donald K. Slayton, as well as several Planetarium of ficials. Astronauts usually come to Chapel Hill after about six months of initial' training at the Manned Space Center in Houston. After the Apollo fire, the entire space program was delayed and no new astronauts were chosen. The Planetarium has a specially built Apollo simula tor which gives astronauts a view of the sky as it seen frcm an orbiting space cap sule. ' By using special projectors, on the Honor system cas reached its goal of 1,500 signatures, according to Charles Gowen. The figure was reached Wed nesday, but the booth at Y Court will remain open today to gain additional signatures as a "cushion.''' "We want between 1,600 and 1,700 signatures for final pres entation, since several may be disqualified," Gowen said. Before the petition goes before Student Legislature, the Elections Board must check the signatures to verify that all names are those of qualified persons. After all ineligible names are disqualified, the number will be totaled. If the total ex ceeds the number needed, the legislature will then review and vote on the petition. If the petition is approved, Gowen said the next step wd be for the Di-Phi to draw up the referendum itself. 3 111 ;: S f " Honor System Petition . . . over 1500 signatures (for commuting students) were allowed in the lot. "When the construction is in full operation, the faculty and staff cars now parking around the hospital won't be able to park there. They'll have to go somewhere, so we decided to zone the Bell Tower for "A-l, lot aA-2" and "F" stickers. "Faculty and staff cars from the hospital area will fill up those spaces now standing empty," he said. Commuting students' cars have been shifted to the Ram's Head lot, along Ridge Road beside Emerson Field, and in " front of Parker, Teague and Avery residence halls. Since this last area is now for "C" stickers and Scott College residents have "G" registration, students living in Parker, Teague and Avery now park their cars in the James and Craig lots, ("G" areas") instead of in front of their own buildings. Squires said the construction around the hospital "will get fully underway around January or a little earlier." He said it had been proposed that students with "C" stickers be allowed to park in the Bell Tower lot until that time, but "when you get them in there, -it's awfully hard to get them out again," he said. He said "We know the students with "C" stickers are hurting hurting real bad and we are thinking about what to do to alleviate their problem. We appreciate their situation and are trying to do something about iL" He added that many of the parking problems have come from students' not knowing what the areas and regulatiuos will be. "We hope to get a full synopsis of next year's regula tions out by the end of this year," he said. "In the past, they haven't gotten the word until the very last minute." This was the case with the Bell Tower lot shift, he said. "Many of them didn't know that "C" stickers would uot be allowed in this lot until they got here. If we can get this in formation our earner, I feel this would help a great deal to clear up the problems." On another matter, Squires said 15 cars have been sent home because they received three campus traffic viola tionsand he premised more to come. "We have been too busy with matters to check traffic viola tions the way we should and tie way we will be from now on," he said. "Particularly in the areas of unregistered cars and zone violations, we will be much more thorough from here on," he said. Fire Damage In Tin Can About $5,000 Damage resulting from Saturday morning's fire in the Tin Can has been estimated at $5,000, according to Dr. Richard E. Jamerson, head of the Physical Education Department. The Ere was noticed at about 5:50 a.m. by an employee who came to work early. SAIGON Communist troops launched three new attacks in the Central Highlands Wednesday, one within six miles of Gen. William C. Westmoreland who flew to inspect the area where North Vietnamese were believed building tp for - a new of fensive. In five ground attacks Tuesday, the Communists lost 353 dead, but at least 90 Americans were killed in the fighting that erupted from Loc Ninh along the Cambodian border to the Demilitarized Zone. Westmoreland said the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese had "failed miserably" in recent attempts to win a major military victory which would spoil the inauguration of President Nguyen VanThieu. Wording Defeats An ti-War Measure SN FRANCISCO San Francisco's Mayor-elect, Joseph Alioto, saidVednesday the defeat of city's anti-Vietnam war measure was because of its wording. The measure,' called Proposition P, urged an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of U.S. troops. It was supported by 37 per cent of the vote in Tuesday's municipal election. Referemdum Emhes Mopes9 IDowbt By WAYNE HURDER and TERRY GIXGRAS of The Daily Tar Heel Staff A News Analysis A referendum on student at titudes toward the Honor System should be held that's the opinion of three leaders in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of Student Government. Two other student legislators have mixed feelings toward any referendum on the mat ter. Jed Dietz, Bill Miller and George Krichbaum are in favor of the referendum. Lar ry Richter and Tom Benton have some doubts. Jed Dietz, student body vice president, said he couldn't see chairman of the judicial com fittee, theough which any bill to hold a referendum must go, had some reservations.
