GSA, according to temporary coordinator Peter Hartjens of the political science depart ment, is being created to research "both the immediate economic ends of graduate students here and the more important long-range problems of the graduate student's role in improving the un dergraduate curriculum." An eignt-man interim ex tentions. Day feels the group "can clearly help the graduate students" in regard to rights and greater privileges." Day said the role of the graduate student is not "clear ly defined at the present time" and a graduate awareness of this role would be very healthy for all graduate students as well as for the University." He believes the GSA "would definitely have to co-operate closely with Student Govern ment as far as graduate stu dent activity fees are con-' cerned." 4 Dean of Student Affairs, CO. JO 2 S5 ecutive committee, composed Cathey said the Association is definitely needed." "A larger and larger number of graduate students are becoming concerned with many of the concerns of undergraduates. I'm glad to see the GSA moving in that direction," he said. "Whatever they do to look after their own interests would be fine" the Dean added. GSA is an outgrowth of the Ad Hoc Committee on University - Community Relations which was created consequent to the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King. The Committee, composed of of two each from the humanities, natural sciences, professional schools, and social sciences, was Sunday ap pointed to "work intensely over the summer" in evaluating the role of the graduate student, Hartjens said. The committee will present its findings to the entire graduate student body in September urging it "to get involved and make some policy changes", Hartjens explained. Hartjens met Sunday with Student Body President Ken Day, informing him of the GSA's position and in- N ine Cases Tried By H onor Court Men's Honor Court heard six cases involving nine defen dants during the past week. A freshman was charged , , with defrauding the telephone company, an Honor Code viola tion. He placed his money in the telephone adjacent to the one from which he originated his call, with full knowledge that his money would be returned. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to definite probation to terminate June 1, 1969. Two other freshmen were charged with fraudulent use of the telephone. One was found guilty and received Junior Class Beer Blast definite probation terminating June 1, 1969. The other defen dant was exonerated. A freshman was charged with cheating on a Math 15 make-up exam, an Honor Code violation. He was accused of seeking help from several in structors in the solution of certain problems. He was found not guilty. Two students pleaded guilty to ungentlemanly conduct for being involved in a fight. Both received Court Reprimands. Two students were charged with violating the Residence Hall Visiting Agreement by entertaining women in a dormitory room. They were also charged with violating the Honor Code for lying to the Associate Dean of Men and the Attorney General about the case. Both students pleaded guilty. One received a definite probation to terminate Sep- f acuity, students, and townsmen, was responsible for the Open Housing petition, presented Monday for final consideration to the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen. The Committee also worked on the status of wages for non-faculty University employees, specifically Negroes. According to Hartjens, the Committee brought together several members of different departments interested i n similar issues. . "I certainly can see the group as playing a great role in the innovation in un dergraduate education," he said.. Hartjens urged that the GSA could work with the Ex perimental College in in corporated EC courses into the curriculum. GSA could also work with the various departments in creating new courses, he said. Hartjens encouraged the in stitution of low-in-come un dergraduate recruiting, im provement of library facilities, timing of pay checks, social contacts across departmental lines, discounts for books from the UNC press, pay levels, changes in course techniques, and elimination of automatic fees for the Yackety-Yack as concerns which the GSA could consider.

CWC Chairman Mary Euwer said she will debate the cut before the legislature Tuesday night in hopes of appealing the ruling. "The cut virtually prohibits CWC from functioning on this campus," she said."CWC strives to award women dorm students for high scholarship with activities such as the scholarship banquet for freshmen, the orientation booklet and campus chest. I feel this is an important func tion on campus, and one which the legislature should con sider." Charlie Jeffress, the legislator who introduced the bill for the appropriation cuts, in CWC and MRC, said the cuts were not intended as a blow to either of the organiza tions or their worthwhile func tions on campus. "In proposing the bill I was not undercutting the organiza tions or their functions on campus," he said, "but I was questioning the responsibility of the legislature to ap propriate money for these groups. "The dorms receive money from room r" and from Stu dent Legislature," he added. "Any orgasizations such as CWC or MRC which works for the dorms should go to the dorms and present their program for the money to car- it nut Tn that WSV tne ry directly students orgamzation will be responsible to those it strives to serve." Student Legislature will be able to give more money to the Residence College systems on campus, and hopefully m return the RC system will taKe on the function of fundA?f these campus organizations and activities, Jeffress ex plained, i The RC system will oe strengthened and the students on campus will feel "a niucn fuller sense cf participation within the new system, sie legislator said. , 'f "Most dorm students do dot realize that money is Derf appropriated for them, said, "whereas if SL the dorms the money jore students would have part in the decision of spending money.

Steve Mueller, head of the Student Center, said approximately twenty five con testants entered the frisbee toss which lasted about an hour. The eight-hole course started at South Building and ended on the top step of the Interna tional Student Center. The course included such shots as going between the pillars of the Old Well and also required the contestants to circle a marked tree in Polk Place. All contestants were re quired to have a partner to keep their score. The targets weer marked squares on the ground. If the frisbee was touching the sides of the square the contestant was permitted to throw again from six feet. v Current plans entail the holding of a championship every semester acconling to ISC officials. PARIS (UPD The United States and North Vietnam Monday opened formal talks on the Vietnam War with Hanoi claiming the Americans have already been defeated and Washington proposing first steps to scale down the fighting. ' In a three-Jfaour session. North Vietnamese negotiator Xuan Thur reiterated pervious demands for an immediate and unconditional end to all bom bing and other attacks against the North. He accused the United States of "monstrous crimes." . , W. Averell Harriman, leading the UJS. delegation proposed restoration of the Demilitarized Zone buffer strip between the two Vietnams and a "pulling apart" of American and North Vietnamese forces as first steps toward de escalating the war. The talking on both sides was tough, but the diplomats agreed to study each other's statements and to meet again Wednesday morning and con tinue the "official con versations" so long awaited by peoples of the world hoping for peace in Southeast Asia. The two delegations faced each other across a 20-foot hollow square table covered in green baize in the ornate ballroom of the former Majes tic Hotel, converted into the International Conference Center. Thuy, former North Viet namese foreign minister, spoke first, at Harriman's in vitation. "In this destructive war, the United . States has been defeated," Thuy told Har riman, according to a Hanoi official who briefed newsmen after the meeting that began at 10:30 a.m. and ended at 1:45 p.m. "It has been condemned by both U.S. and world public opinion. "Since August, 1964, the U.S. hzs unleashed a destructive war with powerful air and naval forces. The U.S. has committed monstrous crimes agains the Vietnamese people and their basic human rights." Harriman, an old hand in dealing with the Communists at negotiating tables replied that he "disagreed with and completely rejected" most of Thuy's charges. The former New York gover nor and ambassador to the So viet Union proposed restoration of the six mile-wide DMZ to "its proper and original state." He said this could, be "an im portant test of "good faith on each side." "We believe it is a reasonable test and we are prepared to carry it out," Har riman said. "We cannot conceal our con cern that your government has chosen to move substantial and increasing numbers of troops and supplies from the North to the South. However, your forces have continued to fire on our forces from across the Demilitarized Zone. "We ask what restraints you will talk for your part to con tribute to peace. "Let us begin by pulling apart the contending forces as a step toward broader measures of de-escalation." Harriman said the United States would withdraw its forces from Vietnam ,4when the level of violence subsides" and if Hanoi withdraws its troops from the South and stops infiltration. He said the United States did not want any permanent bases in Vietnam., The first impression of neutral diplomats was that both sides had taken a hard opening stand that would mean long, difficult bargaining in the months ahead.
