In an address to the opening meeting of Student Legislature's 44th session. Travis said the responsibilities of Student Government have grown to such an extent that it can meet the challenge only by working with a "sense of unity and of challenge." Travis called this year Student Government's "most active year gain, not on true concern. 'These people we can well afford to do without." Travis' administration came under: fire recently for the dismissal of former Women's Attorney General Carol Stein. "No one, neither the president of the student body nor a residence college senator, can work without the feeling that those who elected him stand behind him. , "Since my inauguration I have been working hard to justify the confidence you have shown in me. I shall continue to do so as long as I remain in office." Travis said he .yould ask the legislators to take action on several new proposals - The leadership training program for student Implementation of the Student Stress Committee. Reactivation of YIGAH.

Bob Travis ttljr Dailii (Tar IjrrI World News BRIEFS By Vnlttd Press International Mills Rejects LB J Budget Cuts WASHINGTON Congress' chief tax writer Thursday rejected President Johnson's plan to cut federal spending, all but killing chances for passage of a tax increase this year. Chairman Wilbur Mills of the House Ways & . Means Committee went even farther when he indicated he might oppose a tax increase in 1968. He questioned whether raising taxes was "the right type of medicine to take care of price increases next year." Mills, whose support is necessary for passage of any tax measure, closely questioned three administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Henry H. Fowler, about a $4.1 billion spending reduction as a concession for a 10 per .cent income tax surcharge. President Johnson claims it is necessary to head off inflation and help pay for rising war costs. " . '. ' ' Greece, Turkey Reach Accord To Meet Here More than 700 high school and college health and physical education teachers will meet here today to hear a major address by the president of the American Association o f Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Dr. Joy W. Kistler's keynote address will kick off the two day 20th annual convention ot the N.C. - Association f o r Health, Physical Education and Recreation. His address is scheduled for delivery, at 10:30 a.m. in Woollen! Gym. Kistler is chairman of the Louisiana State University department of physical education at Batan Rouge. His speech today will examine "Priorities for Progress." He defended S t u d e Government from "those who have claimed that (it) has become somehow corrupt and ingrown, no longer responsive to the needs or the wants of the student body. - "It is unfortunate that the critics all too often make the headlines, and hard work goes unrewarded, either publicly or privately." The executive said it is becoming increasingly important for members of Student Government to make a greater effort at keeping their constituents informed. Travis urged the student body to "pay no heed to those who would strew rocks and erect barricades in our path rather than help us to- move them out of the way." ; He said such criticism is based oh political or personal TTi T!

NICOSIA Greece and Turkey reached agreement Thursday TF on a peace formula that kept the two North Atlantic Treaty Qj) Organization partners out of war over Cyprus. The chief point in the agreement was a mutual pledge by Turkey and Greece to withdraw all their regular army troops from the island in the Mediterranean within 45 days, informed souccs said. The agreement was hammered out in hard days of bargaining by U.S. presidential envoy Cyrus R. Vance, who shuttled between Athens, Ankara and Nicosia while Greece and Turkey mobilized their armed forces and teetered on the brink of war. w alch MMes Bank Chief-McNamara Was Told WASinNGTON The president of the World Bank denied Thursday that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara had been nominated as chief of the international lending institution without being told about it. George Woods, whom McNamara will succeed sometime early next year, told a news conference that he personally told the Pentagon boss of his nomination a day or two before it was officially placed. The White House itself denied reports that McNamara had been "eased out" of his Pentagon job after seven years to make way for tougher Vietnam strategy. After almost three days of official silence, McNamara and President Johnson confirmed McNamara's switch late Wednesday night in nearly identical statements. This came after the World Bank officially offered him the job. U.S., France Clash On Economics PARIS France and the United States clashed sharply Thursday over proposals to cure the world's economic system of its persistent ailments. U.S. Undersecretary of State Eugene V. Rostow said in a sternly-worded statement to fellow finance ministers that the way to cure critical balance of payments difficulties facing the United States was for European countries to reduce their payments surpluses and help America meet the cost of its European defense system. ' French Finance Minister Michel Debre, addressing the same meeting of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, said the only way to cure the problem was for the U.S. and Britain to withdraw the dollar and pound as world reserve currencies. McCarthy To Take On Johnson WASHINGTON Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy announced Thursday he would run as a peace candidate against President Johnson in four and possibly six Democratic presides !al primaries next year. McCarthy stressed that he is "not for peace at any price, but for an honorable, rational and political solution to the war. . .1 am concerned that the administration seems to set no limits on the price that it will pay for military victory." Earthquake Shakes Yugoslavia By PAMELA HAWKINS of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Connor Residence Hall girls were warned in a roll call, emergency" meeting Wednesday night against leaving the dorm after closing hours and admitting men to their rooms. Several instances of girls having men in their rooms and also girls leaving after hours in Connor prompted the meeting. "The girls who had men in their rooms without permission have been given time to turn themselves in," said Karen Checksfield, women's coordinator for Women'5 Honor Court, WRC and the house councils, who spoke to the group. "We have no idea who is leaving the dorm at night, however," she said, v Both situations constitute Honor Code offenses. The girls were reprimanded by Connor housemother Mrs. Graham Ramsey for creating a "dangerous situation" for the other girls in the dorm. The girls who had been leaving toe dorm or opening the doors had failed to relock them, it was reported. residence college masters Wednesday night to try to improve the overall quality and attractiveness of Chase Cafeteria. This was the third meeting in a series which began the day after a boycott of Chase had been called shortly before Thanksgiving.

"We'll be instituting a training program shortly," Prillaman said, "and try to greatly improve the quality of our help." He said he was aware that some of his employes needed some training in food serving. The director said the biggest competitor for the students' time and money for eating. "Years ago, snack bars only sold things like Cckes and milk shakes and then wrapped sandwiches," Prillaman said, "But now they have many hot foods, also. "It is naturally more concenient for students to eat downstairs in their own dorm than come over here to Chase. Now that they can get somewhat similar food, that is what many of them are doing. The snack bars in Morrison, James, Ehringhaus and Craige have had warmers for hamburgers for two years, but recently since the T hanksgiving holidays they have added wrapped individual servings of vegetables, puddings and other desserts, and meat courses such as ham biscuits. Prillaman said that since some innovations were made just before Thanksgiving, there has been an increase in the number of students eating in Chase. He said that since some of the programs seem to be well received, he will "try all the more to give the students what they want."

Representatives from every department on campus plus some from graduate schools here and the Testing and Placement Services will speak at the seminars, according to Pete Powell, president of the sophomore class, which is sponsoring the seminars. A total cf five different meetings will be held from Monday through Thursday, Dec. 14, each meeting having speakers from all the majors within a specific academic division. Speakers from the seven majors within the humanities will explain their fields of studies on Monday at 7:30 p.m. All subsequent meetings will be at 7:30 p.m. in 104 Howell. Each person will give a brief talk on the requirements of his major, it's purpose and benefits job opportunities and opportunities for postgraduate studies. After the talks, the faculty members will answer questions from students. This year's program differs from last year's, the first year of the programs in that students will not break up into smaller discussion groups with according to Powell, is that there are a lot of persons interested in several different majors, and it would deprive them of all the benefits of the meeting if they had to pick one 'Speak-Out' Series Begins Next Weeli By KATHE MOORE Special To The Daily Tar Heel A weekly "speak-out" sponsored by the UNC Debate Team will echo through Y Court each Tuesday at 11 a.m. Starting Dec. 5, students will have opportunities to voice their opinions in free-wheeling debates on unlimited topics. The project was fostered by graduate student Jack McDonough, who saw a "speak-out" at the University of South Carolina. "The USC newspaper comes out once a week, and a gathering is held at the student union on Fridays," said Dr. James Pence, speaking for McDonough. "One stands on a soapbox and reads the headlines, and debates follow. Last week they spent four hours discussing drugs and mind-expansion. "We have kick-off topics for the next two weeks of experimentat ion," he continued, "but . neither is restricted. We chose subjects to people topic, will Gen which respond."

We. hope to discuss the following: active University drafting of good Negro students, Negro self examination, racial pride and prejudice. . "This is not a vehicle of protest," Pence said. "We are not protesting Gen. Hershey, nor are we attempting to mobilize the black student movement. We are going to show that one can protest, yes, and also discuss painfull unpopular topics. "This is not 'our baby.' This is a service to the academic community. It will continue as long as they want it." major they were most interested in. Another difference this year, he said, is that representatives of all the majors will attend. Speakers from the testing and placement services will talk about the services they offer the students. Representatives of the graduate schools will speak on the majors necessary to get into their schools, and on other requirements. The General College is sending out about 5,000 letters to freshmen and sophomores encouraging them to attend the meetings, Powell said. .
