At a special call meeting of the Durham board of aldermen Thursday, the University of North Carolina officially asked for permission to lav a Dipe line from Orange County into Durham County and obtain water from Durham's reservoir. 'Durham's aldermen. presided over by Mayor Wince Grabarek, voted unamimously an "approval in principle" for engineering studies to go forward right away that may lead to construction of a water pipe line reaching from Eastgate, at the east end of Chapel Hill, to the limit of Durham's pipe line. There are two places where the water line might be placed: (1) four miles from Chapel Hill near the Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard, or (2) near the entrance to Hope Valley on the Old Chapel Hill-Durham Road, a distance of 2.7 miles from Chapel Hill. Construction of the pipe line would take about three weeks, it is estimated. Negotiations for the arrangement were initiated several days ago by Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson who telephoned Durham's Mayor Grabarek. Further contacts were made between Durham City Manager Harding Hughes and Grey Culbreth of the University's Utilities Division which controls the Chapel Hill water plant and University Lake, the community's reservoir. -18 -Feasibility of-the -pipeline connecting the two cities will be studied by Wade Brown, bassador Ball Resigns Wiggins Named As Successor WASHINGTON UPI President Johnson Thursday announced the resignation of George Ball as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and named Washington Post Editor J. Russell Wiggins to succeed him. Johnson made the announcement nation-wide while Ball was holding a separate news conference. The President told newsmen only that Ball's reason for quitting concerned domestic politics apparently the presidential candidacy of Vice President Hubert Humphrey. In announcing Wiggins' selection to replace Ball who has been at the United Nations only since April, Johnson said the United States and the world had gained "ad advocate of peace." Wiggins, 65, has been editor and executive vice president of the Washington Post smce 1960. Johnson said that he believed few in public life commanded the respect, understanding, good judgement, and "deep compassion" of Wiesins. Johnson said that Wiggins, born in Luverne, Minn., had been concerned as an editor with "bringing truth to the American public." At his news conference in the State Department, Ball said: "I have taken this step so provided for short term reading in the library," he added. It has been verified by Fields that the university library has not increased its overdue fines since 1903. "Practically every university library has had to increase their fines in order to get the books on time. Last year alone our circulation went up sk per cent while the number of overdue books went up over 50 Water Resources Director of Durham, and by University of North Carolina water specialists. Exploration will be conducted as to whether an eight-inch or 12-inch pipe is to be laid, whether it will be above or below ground and other details.

The funds will be derived from the fees charged for motor vehicle registration. The subsidy will be used to make up any difference between operating expenses and money taken in by fares. McMurray said that the Student - Transpo Committee pays the Raleigh City Coach Lines $235.00 a that I may devote my time and energy between now and November 5 to help assure the election of Hubert Humphrey and the defeat of Richard Nixon. To avoid any misunderstanding of my motives and purposes," he said, "I wish to state flatly that after the November election I shall return promptly to private life. I have asked the vice president not to consider me for any post in his administration." Coordinator Is Named An overall coordinator for 'Action Government" was named at a meeting Wednesday night of interested students concerned with the new venture. Pat Warren, former chairman of the National Merit Scholarship Committee, was named overall coordinator of the project which is designed to provide means for interested students to get together and organize. Other plans to be undertaken in the next few weeks included an Action Government Committee. This committee will be composed of per cent. People just won't return a library book when there is only a five cents a day fine," Fields said. "Duke has had a 30 cents per day overdue fee for over a year and they have only a two week check out period whereas we allow books to be checked out for four weeks. "The University of Maryland has a 50 cents a day fine and some other schools Charles Steele also asked that a study be made that could lead to a permanent mutual arrangement between Chapel Hill and Durham in assuring an adequate water supply for both cities. University officials here continue to ask for the utmost restraint in use of water on the part of homeowners and students in the University. The water situation remains critical. Even with the aid assured from Durham, there will be necessity for curtailment in the Will Bus pus day for the buses. The company collects the fares and then bills the committee for the difference. McMurray cited the rising amount of money taken in by fares since the bus system's inception as evidence that the project may become self-sustaining. $194.00 in fares were paid Monday, the first day of operation, $208.00 was taken in Tuesday, and students paid $234.72 to ride Wednesday. McMurray said that an increase of only three riders Wednesday would have made the system able to pay for that day without having to use Transportation Committee funds allocated by Ball's statement made clear his opposition to Nixon in the election. "My decision has not been taken lightly," he said "It stems from a solemn assessment of my obligation to my country, my family and my own conviction." He said it reflects his "Arm belief that during the years immediately ahead our nation will face unparalalled dangers and opportunities in the larger world arena. seven members to be appointed in the near future. The group which met last night will meet again soon and in cooperation with the Experimental College Coordinating Committee will plan the publication and distribution of description forms for those who want to establish an Experimental College course or propose an Action Government group.

People interested in helping with the project should call Pat Warren at 968-9183. charge one dollar for the first day and fifty cents for each day thereafter," said Fields. The fee will also be increased for a number of different classes of work books, with the charge on certain reference books going up to one dollar a day.

The 600 million gallons University Lake reservoir is now down to one half its capacity. An eight-inch pipe from Durham would give Chapel Hill about a million gallons a day. Subsidize System Student Government. He added that he expects the number of riders to continue to increase, especially as the more inclement winter months approach. "If response continues to be good," McMurray said, "we will have a permanent, and largely self-sustaining, bus system on the UNC campus." The Student Transportation Committee co-chairman also raised the possibility of extending operations to include regular Saturday bus service. He added, however, that that aspect of the system will not go into operation this Saturday because of the football game and the imDOSsibilitv of outlining alternative routes at this late date to avoid conflict with the traffic situation. McMurray lauded the $55,000.00 a year project as an example of "what can be accomplished with understanding and by working together." He praised Student Government and the University administration for "cooperating to make this possible." The bus schedule currently in effect is as follows: Buses will leave Chase Cafeteria and Wilson Library for regular campus runs every five minutes between 7:20 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Buses will depart every ten minutes between 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Buses will depart from Chase Cafeteria for town runs at ten minutes past the hour and twenty-five minutes past the hour between 12:00 noon and 3:00 p.m. and also at 3:20 p.m. and 4:20 p.m. Men's Court Schedules Interviews Current vacancies on Men's Court will be filled on the basis of interviews to be held Monday, Sept 30, according to Howard Miller, Chairman of Honor Court.
