the operator asked for his
number he gave that of a large
department store in Orlando.
The store was not billed for
the calls, however, because the
telephone company records
would show the call to the
probation at the University of information number, which is a
South Florida Wednesday.
l he action by the
faculty-student disciplinary
board thus left the way open
for the Miami student to
continue his studies on a
Florida Council for the Blind
Scholarship.
Engressia had appealed an
earlier decision by university
officials that he be suspended
because of the telephone calls
which he admitted having
placed to various places in the
country for other students.
He appeared before the
appeals board Tuesday for a
hearing and the board returned
its decision Wednesday.
Engressia, blind since birth,
had discovered a means by
which he would dial an
"information" number in New
York City, but just before the
final click in a long series of
tones fell to complete the call,
he would whistle the correct
pitch to throw the call onto an
open trunk line.
Then, he would dial the
number he wanted and when
free call.
The telephone company
said it estimated it had been
beaten out of some 35 hours
worth of calls but said it did
not intend to press charges.
Engressia, a junior with a
"A" and "B" grade average,
offered to work off the charges
for General Telephone
Company but the offer was
turned down by company
officials.
The 19-year-old student said
he accidentally hit upon his
"free" system when he was
eight years old when he
whistled and got the wrong
number while making a call.
PARIS (UPI)-The Viet

HAVANA (UP1) - A Trans
World Airlines Jetliner with 38
persons aboard including
country music star Tex Ritter
and professional golfer Mason
Rudolph, was hijacked by an
American Negro man and
woman Wednesday and forced
to fly to Havana.
The hijackers, who seized
the plane at gunpoint during an
inaugural flight from Nashville,
Tenn., to Miami, Fla. were not
identified by Cuban
authorities.
Havana International
Airport eyewitnesses described
the hijackers as a
light-complex ioned Negro man
and a black woman. Both wore
light tan topcoats. The man
wore a black beret and was
attired in an orange sports shirt
and dark slacks. The woman
carried several packages.
As in previous cases, the
hijackers were the first to leave
the plane after it landed in
Havana at 1:30 p.m., 12:30
p.m. EST.
The couple left the plane by
the rear door and shook hands
with a Cuban security agent
awaiting them there. They
were immediately escorted to
the main airport office and
isolated.
The rest of the passengers
and crew aboard left the
jetliner 10 minutes later.
At 9:43 a.m. EST, 20
minutes after the tri-engine
Boeing 727 lifted from the
Nashville runway, pilot Dennis
L. Malency of St. Louis
radioed:
"A guy has a gun in my
back. He is forcing us to go to
Havana. We are proceeding
there."
The flight continued in
silence to the Communist
island, where it set down safely
at 12:30 p.m. Cuban
authorities were expected, to
release the plane and its
passengers later in the day.
Rudolph's wife had a
premonition that the plane
might be commandeered. "I
begged him not to go," she
told UPI when contacted at the
Randolph residence in
Clarksville, Tenn.
Later, when advised the
plane had landed safely, she

Special to the DTH
All alumni of the
Experiment in International
(Experiment) are invited to an
organizational meeting in the
lobby of the International
Student Center tonight at
7:00.
The meeting was announced
yesterday by Steve Barefoot
who was one of two campus
ambassadors from UNC who
went overseas last summer with
the Experiment.
The Experiment in
International Living is a
non-profit organization which
runs" student i- exchange
programs with 38 countries.
The purpose of tonight's
meeting is to organize the
Experiment alumni in the
Chapel Hill area and to work
towards a permanent
Ambassador Scholarship
Program from UNC with the
Experiment.
Last year Barefoot received
a scholarship from Student
Government and went to India
for the summer. Jan Davidson
was the other ambassador.
A campus ambassador
participates in the regular
Experiment programs of living
with a family in a foreign
country and of traveling in the
country. Campus ambassadors
received a scholarship and
upon their return to their
school recruit students for the
Experiment.
Last year was the first time
scholarships were given to
students from the University
for the Experiment. It was not
established permanently,
however.
Barefoot hopes that if the
Experiment alumni in this area
are effectively organized, they
can recruit many students.
In the past, North Carolina
has . had more experimenters
each year than any other state
intheSputhi ; -';;-; "J :l
The Experiment ' 'offers
summer programs abroad,
academic semesters abroad, a
postgraduate year of
international training and job
placement, and for
exceptionally qualified
persons, a chance to lead an
Experiment group.
Next October the
Experiment will hold its
Southeastern Reunion and
Conference at UNC.
Barefoot urges all
Experiment alumni to attend
the meeting and all persons
interested in the Experiment
programs to contact him at
929-2832.
added: "I feel a lot better now.
If any of your people get in
touch with him please tell him
to call home."
Rudolph was enroute to the
Lehigh Acres Country Club
near Ft. Myers, Fla.. which
sponsors him on the
professional golfers tour.
Ritter, who has appeared in
78 western movies and has cut
such records hits as "Wayward

performed at Marathon, in the
Florida Keys, Wednesday
night, and at Key West
Thursday night.

delegation as an indication that
the long-delayed Parts
conference might get underway
soon.
But the Saigon government
earlier Wednesday had restated
its opposition to having the
Viet Cong as an equal
participant in the conference
which will also include U. S.
and Hanoi Representatives.
In another development.
Hanoi's chief spokesman in
Paris said North Vietnam is
prepared to discuss the
withdrawal of troops from
South Vietnam as soon as the
expanded negotiations get
underway.
Spokesman Nguyen Thanh
Le was commenting on
Tuesday's Washington
statement by Defense
Secretary Clark M. Clifford
that that United States and
North Vietnam could start
withdrawing their troops
within 10 days, or before
President Johnson leaves
office.
"The Americans will be able
to raise this and any other
question."
Le said the issue of
withdrawal of troops from
South Vietnam had not been
discussed so far in U.S.-North
Vietnamese talks seeking to set
up procedural rules that would
permit the long-delayed
conference to begin.
North Vietnam has never
even admitted it has troops
fighting in South Vietnam and
some observers belived the
statement of readiness to
discuss Clifford's suggestions
might mean Hanoi merely was
ready to discuss the pullout of
U.S. troops.
N o rth Vietnam, however,
was believed to have
withdrawn some troops from
the South as a goodwill gesture
following the U.S. bombing
half Nov. 1 But this has never
been officially confirmed.
The North Vietnamese
spokesman coupled his
statement with a new blast at
the United States, claiming i.ie
U.S. Air Force has repeatedly
violated President Johnson's
bombing halt order in carrying
out both reconnaissance flights
and bombing attacks on the
North.
Le claimed that between
Nov. 2 and this Monday, the
Air Force carried out 600
reconnaissance flights. He also
charged that U.S. artillery
south of the Demilitarized
Zone has been shelling North
Vietnamese territory.
Earlier Wednesday. South
Vietnam flatly rejected any
attempt to seat its enemy, the
V i e t Cong's National
Liberation Front, as an equal
in the forthcoming talks.
Ambassador Pham Dang
Lam, head of the Saigon
delegation to the conference,
told newsmen his government
was continuing to insist on
your side our side
negotiations, with the Viet
Cong as part of the Hanoi
delegation facing U.S. and
South Vietnamese negotiators.
The deadlock over seating
arrangements at the conference
deepened when Hanoi
diplomats said they would
reject a reported French
compromise proposal that the
allies and Communists face
each other seated behind

The Communists favor a
