Student Credit
Government is starting a new crackdown on students
who pass bad checks.
The committee will begin sending to Chapel Hill
merchants a list of students who pass two bad checks or
more each week, according to Glenn Datnoff,
committee chairman, so they can decide whose checks
are safe to cash.
Under the new policy, merchants will give the
committee the names of students who pass bad
checks.
The committee, besides sending out a list, will
contact each bad check passer and give him 48 hours to
do something about the check, Datnoff says.
After that, the problem is handed back to the
merchant, who may turn the bad check over to a justice
of the peace, who is empowered by law to collect on
bad checks.
When a justice of the peace collects on a bad check,
he gets a nine dollar legal fee from the passer and the
bad check goes on the person's credit rating.
The new policy is designed to help the student by
cutting down on the number of checks turned over to
the justice of the peace and by keeping the bad checks
off a student's credit rating, Datnoff said.
: Datnoff is working with the Attorney General's staff
Vo see if the passing of a certain amount of bad checks
can be made a Campus or Honor Code offense.

Thirteen UNC sociologists
are among 1,300 members of
the American Sociological
Association who have sent a
letter to President Lyndon
Johnson and Congress
protesting the war i n
of these, Gerhard
Lenski and Hubert Blalock,"
both professors of sociology
here, are among 15 sponsors of
the letter signed by sociologists
in the United States, Australia,
Canada, England and Japan.
The 1,300 signers come from
an Association membership of
around 4,000, according to
Lenski.
The letter condemns both the
conduct of the war and the
"diversion of resources from
with our
social
ttempt to deal

Student Contributions Short of Expectations
most serious
problems."
The letter calls for an end to
the bombing of North Vietnam,
a "vigorous and genuine
attempt to seek negotiations
for peace," and a withdrawal
of American troops from
Vietnam.
UNC leads other North
Carolina schools in the number
of signers. Duke is next with
six, East Carolina University
has three, Guilford College has
two, and N.C. State has one.
A total of 33 persons from
North Carolina signed.
Some of the noted signers or
the letter are authors David
Riesman, also a sponsor cf the
letter, William F. Whyte, Alex
Inkeles, Pitirim S o r o k i n ,
School of Psychiatry, a third in
the Department of
Anthropology, and a fourth is a
retired member of the Socio
logy Department.
The letter criticises the
diversion of resources from
domestic problems, because,
the sociologists say, thess
problems "will not yield to
fragmentary token efforts but
must be the focus of massive
concerted action.
The s i g n e rs 3y that
continue dbombing ca n n o t
succeed in forcing peace
negotiations' and they say
testimony of Secretary of
Defense Robert McNamara
bears out this contention.
The 1,300 criticize "the
continuation of policies which
seek military solutions to
problems which are social and
political in character, and the
pattern of military escalation
which appears to ignore long-
range consequences m favor of
Robert K. Merton, and Amitai illusory short-term gains.

BRIEFS
, By United Press International
McNamara Rumors Cause Concern
WASHINGTON Robert S. McNamara's impending
resignation as defense secretary was greeted in Congress
Tuesday with caution, silence and expressed concern that
President Johnson might be planning a major, pre-election
escalation of the Vietnam war.
The White House, still not confirming McNamara's nomination ,
to be president of the World Bank, denied at the same time that
his departure would mean any change in the conduct of the
war. ,
Also unsettled were questions of the exact timing of
McNamara's move and of his successor at the Pentagon. Gov.
John Connally of Texas said there was no truth to rumors he
was the President's choice.
Worldwide Protests Hit De Gaulle
PARIS Storms of protest against French President Charles
de Gaulle gathered in capitals from Jerusalem to Ottawa
Tuesday and at home a leading Paris newspaper called De Gaulle
"a Machievellian genius with an insatiable lust for power."
The French president managed to offend nearly all of
France's allies at a news conference Monday when he blamed the
United States for the Vietnam war and Israel for the Middle East
war; vetoed Britain's bid for the Common Market without
mentioning the other five market members; called for Quebec's
independence from Canada; attacked the 'American dollar, and
called for a return to the gold standard.
De Gaulle's news conference touched off emergency cabinet
meetings in Jerusalem and Ottawa and a flood of questions
greeted British Prime Minister Harold Wilson in the House of
Commons Tuesday.
Pearson Attacks De Gaulle Again
OTTAWA Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson Tuesday termed
French President Charles de Gaulle's encouragement of
separatist leanings in the province of Quebec "intolerable"
interference in Canadian internal affairs.
The future of the Canadian confederation, the aroused
Pearson told the House of Commons, will be decided "for
Canada, in Canada."
Pearson said De Gaulle's prophecy that Quebec would one day
secede from Canada was "intolerable. . .and as such
unacceptable" and he warned that the French President's
remarks could "arouse discord in the people of Canada."
Pearson's blistering rebuff, one of the strongest ever delivered
to the head of a friendly nation, gave no indication that Canada
might recall its ambassador to France, even temporarily.

Four student employes of the
Ehringhaus snack bar were
fired before Thanksgiving
vacation because of six weeks
of cash register shortages,
according to Tom Shetley,
Exchange.
The four students were all
members of the same working
shift.
"I'm sure we got a few
innocent people but we also got
the guilty parties," said
Shetley, "I hated to fire a
whole shift but we couldn't
catch the thieves any other
way."
Shetley reported that the

had died in an auto accident

Pelham Manor, N.Y., at about
2 a.m. Friday.
Padula lived in Pelham
Manor. Funeral services were
held Monday.
shortages have ceased since
the four were discharged. -.
Shetley said the shortages
were first discovered when it
was noticed that the estimated
inventories at the snack bar
ran higher than the actual
merchandise and the cash
register came out short at the
end of each day.
"We started an open check
on the registers," said Shetley.
"The first two shifts came out
exactly right. The third shift,
with $5-$10 extra, but when the
money came in next morning it
$5 short. We had lost the extra
and a little more."
There were no large errors
on the cash register's tape
according to Shetley. , The
thefts were coming because
the workers were making sales
without ringing it up on the
register, he said.
"I 'think it had to be two
people working together," said
Shetley, "one person, couldn't
have hurt us that badly."
Shetley was unable to-give
the exact sum stolen, but said
"someone did all right for
about six weeks."
He said he liked student
workers and that "we couldn't
operate without them." He
added he hated having to use
the "shotgun technique" to get
rid of thieves and insisted that
most student emoloves are
honest.
Two years ago there was a
similar problem at the
Ehringhaus snack bar in which
several students were expelled
from school.

The Y hopes that more
students will come by its office
to contribute, and is

A statement from the Y said
it "is having . difficulty in

Situation Remains Critical In Cyprus
Turkey Tuesday night gave Greece a breathing spell in the
crucial negotiations over war or peace on the island of Cyprus.
Officials in Washington, Ankara and Athens said the situation
remained "very critical." But the threat cf immediate hostiliies
between Greeks and Turks eased.
Fears of war were triggered by reports from informed
sources in Ankara that Turkey had deliveed an ultimatum to
Greece to accept Turkish demands for settlement of the Cyprus
crisis or face unspecified "necessary measures."
Johnson To Disclose Budget Cuts
WASHINGTON -The administration will disclose to Congress
Wednesday the spending cuts it is willing to make to win
approval of President Johnson's proposed tax increase to fight
inflation and pay for increasing war costs.
The administration will present its concessions to the House
Ways & Means Committee, which shelved Johnson's proposed 10
per cent tax surcharge plan Oct. 3 with the demand that the
government match any tax increase with an equal reduction in
spending.
Y Court Starts Taxing
The Y Court snack bar has started
charging tax on all purchases over 30
cents.
Tom Shetley, director of the Book
Exchange, said Tuesday the move was
necessitated by the increase in minimum
wages called for by federal law.
"In the past we (the Book Ex) have
paid the tax ourselves," said Shetley.
"We've taken three, cents out of every
dollar and paid the state."
The new system means a student will
now have to pay $1.03 where he only paid
a dollar before.
Paying the sales tax, like the five cent
increase in cigarette prices, yas. started
after Thanksgiving vacation.
The serving system at Y Court also
was changed during Thanksgiving
vacation.
The new . arrangement uses the
cafeteria system. There are cashiers at
either end of the counter and in order to
get out of the serving line one must go by
them.
A rail has been installed to separate
the food line from the line at the supplies
counter.
Shetley said the new system was
designed to make service faster.
"The new method is on trial to see if it
does the job better than the old system,"
said Shetley. "This new -method also
makes it easier for the help. They don't
have to waste time deciding who was
first in line."

Congressman Fletcher Thomp

In addition to the political
speakers, there will be three
