Warnings had been voiced by Mr. Staton, a state sanitary official and Professor Daniel Okun, of UNC's sanitary engineering department.

There are ten Pakistani students studying in the School of Public Health, most of them in the department of popula tion land family planning, this year. The students formed the Pakistani Student Society three months ago to present pro grams and exchange ideas to high incidence of septic tank failure, which in this case would cause deposition of sewage into the lake, the in efficiency of water purification systems in removing unsanitary parasites from the water, and the possible dangers of long-term ingetion of detergent of chemicals in the water. The request for the ex pansion was submitted by For rest Heath, proprietor of the park. The County Planning Board initially voted unanimously against the expansion. Subse quent, to that decision, the County Commissioners asked the Planning Board to Specifically, it the committee charges that bear these responsibilities: recommend action making university level education possible "for those persons in tellectually qualified but ac adem ically unqualified because of poor prepara tion." re commend "desirable programs for the recruitment of Negro students." consult with appropriate committees and departments study of Negro history and culture in the program of the University." explore "the possibilities of facultv oarticination in ex- tension education in secondary schools and- institutions of,, higher "education outside' the Consolidated University, wherever such educational ef forts might ibe of benefit to disadvantaged citizens" in the state. ac'.t within the University "as 'obundsman' on racial matters, to receive allegations of prejudicial treatment because of race in the University or directed toward University personnel from outside the University and to take or recommend such ac tion as seems appropriate." tademts benefit the students' study here.

As with previous forums, the Speak-Outs will be conducted on an informal basis and led from a portable podium in Y-Couxt.

Organizers of the Speak Out feel the topic is one of the most popular and con troversial being discussed in relation to large university campuses today. reconsider, which it did, reversing itself to the extent of recommending a limited ex pansion of the trailer park. At the same time, opposing recommend atkras were presented by the state and local health departments. Slifkin said the county com-; missioners chose to ignore numerous warnings and "ac cepted the soothing evaluation a local health official, who professed to see no clear danger-and who, coin cidentaily. also happens to own a tract of developable land adjacent to the land in ques tion." Dr. David Garvin of the District Health Department, who approved the request for expansion, said the increase in septic tanks "can pose no problem from a sewage disposal viewpoint." He said his department "will exercise every safeguard that is available to protect the water supply." Okun urged the greatest danger resulting from the pro posed expansion is "other pro perty owners on the water shed may feel they have similar freedom." "A growth of this sort would cause a real hazard," he ex plained. Chancellor J.

The reservoir is owned by UNC. Heath said he had no im mediate plans for increasing the number of units in the park, but that he would "definitely" .expand the park. He said he thought the "local health officials knew what they were doing." Heath added that opposition to the expansion is a "small pressure group that hopes to get what they want." "As misleading as the news has been, we do not endanger the Chapel Hill water supply," he said.

Committee Holds Budget Hearings By J J). WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer The finance committee of Student Legislature completed two weeks of exhaustive hear ings Tuesday on the student Government budget for next year. Lacy Reaves, finance com mittee chairman, said the completed version of the pro posed budget would be mimeographed . today and made available for student legislators in the Student Government offices. The legislators will have two days to study the proposed budget before Thursday night's meeting of student Legislature. The budget will be considered at that time and is expected to pass with little opposition. Reaves said his committee faced some difficult problems in formulating the 19C3-69 budget. The biggest problem cney h ad to deal with was the fact requests for financial grants exceeded by some $35,000 the amount of money Student Government will have access to next year. The finance committee was faced with $290,000 in requests and had only $255,000 with f , - 1 - v V X - Michael V. DiSalle, former governor of Ohio ...

Proposed ex penditures were trimmed down to $232,000 leaving $3,000 to cover possible emergency ex penditures which may result from shifting student Govern ment headquarters to the new student union. Reaves said the budget was cut to $252,000 by eliminating requests by committees which have existed for some time but which tbave proved to be ineffective or un necessary." He said it was time these " b u reaucratic committees were done away with." Reaves said the 1953-69 budget emphasizes educational reform, state affairs, the cam pus judiciary, and, of course, the streamlining of student Government. He said that he expects some opposition to the budget from the committees which will be eliminated by it. He added, however, that the finance com mittee has studied each ques tion carefully and- is quite ready to defend each of Us decisions.

(UPI) Heavy voting with evidence of Republican crossovers was reported Tuesday in Indiana's most fiercely fought presiden tial primary ever a head-on dash with Ho osier com plications between Sens Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene J. McCarthy. More than a million In dianans were expected to vote about two - thirds of them for New York's Kennedy, Min nesota's McCarthy, or In diana's own Gof. Roger D. Bramgin in the Democratic primary, and one-third for Richard M. Nixon, unopposed in the Republican race. The weather was sunny and pleasantly cool from the steel mills along Lake Michigan in the nortn to the Ohio River farm country of the state's deep south. Polls open ed at 6 a:m. and were to clost at 7 pin. EST in all of Indiana's 92 counties but two Dearborn and Warrick in the east, which keep going until 8 p.m. This is the first ballot to ballot primary con frontation between Kennedy and McCarthy and the national interest centered on them. But the chances of every other major presidential contender were also being tested in In diana. Vice Persident Hubert H. Humphrey and New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, late and GOP lists, are not on the Hoosier ballot and cannot even hope for write-in votes, since such are not counted in Indiana. But B rani gin and Hum phrey have formed a mutual ad miration society in the past week. And Rockefeller could not help but hope that the three-way Democratic tussle wouiu pull isixon s vote below the 4C3.403 the vice president scored in winning the 1960 In- diana prmary. Branigin's appeal to Hoosier pride, his control of the state y submerged, of the universal good. If we can salvage the spark, we must fan it carefully until it Games into usefulness." During DiSaSe's term of of fice, he demonstrated his capital punishment theories by permitting prison inmates con demned for life to work around the statehouse and Governor's mansion. DiSalle is now a practicing lawyer in Washington, DjC., and is actively campaigning for. Robert Kennedy for Presi dent. A veteran of eight political convections, - be will again be a delegate to the Democratic national meet this summer. 'Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy are very dose in their basic philosophies, and Kennedy, McCarthy, and Hum phrey all share the same posi tion on cxva rights," the veteran politician stated at local Kennedy headquarters. Democratic organization and fads frank appeal for GOP crossovers were regarded as key factors in both the Democratic and Republican voting. Most polls on election eve had Kennedy ahead in his first cn-the-baUot presidential bid. Eranigin, who entered the race as a stand-in for President Johnson and wound up as an apostle of Hoosier political in dependence, was generally rated second and McCarthy, victor in three primaries but hurting here, third. If the polls prove true, Ken nedy would have a mighty head of steam up for bis con frontation with McCarthy in the Nebraska primary next week and their California, Oregon and South Dakota riahfs later. A McCarthy vic tory probably would have Ken nedy in even deeper trouble. If Branigin succeeds in his hope to keep control of the Indiana delegation and possibly snare attention as a vice -presidental contender, both the glamor candidates could leave the Hoosier hustings in tarnished Condition. Kennedy and McCarthy have treated Hoosiers to their most ardent , political wooing in History. But Tuesday the key to the Indiana verdict ap peared to be how many Republicans and undecided voters would buy the governor's appeal to keep In diana's 63 votes at the Democratic National Con vention in the hands oa Hoosier. Reports at midday indicated Branigin was getting h i s crossovers. The biggest Republican precinct in Logansport, in the center cf the state, estimated that 10 per cent of GOP voters were xHt Democratic, ballots. At Fort Wayne, in the east. crossover voting was reported in normally Republican precincts.
