WILKINSON DTH Staff Writer The Rockefeller Foundation has awarded a $2 million grant to the University for research in the area of birth control, according to an announcement made Monday by Foundation President Dr. J. George Harrar. Dr. Harrar cited the need "to go back to the laboratory" for greater research on birth control when he made the announcement. The research will be conducted in a new laboratory building here. One-half of the recently -completed structure has been reserved for work involved with the birth control research project. The new center will be headed by Dr. Stanley Bennett, current director of the Laboratory of Cell Biology at the University of Chicago. A research staff of eight to ten scientists is expected to work on the birth control project. Dr. Bennett will serve as the Sarah Graham Kenan Professor of Biological and Medical Sciences at UNC.

"The senior class this year has been tremendously unified," he said.

HEWGrantrTo-'Fund- -Oral Cancer Research A $90,000 grant for an oral cancer detection training program and clinic has been awarded to the School of Dentistry here. Dr. Grover C. Hunter Jr. is program director for the project, which is funded by the National Cancer Institute of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Dr. Hunter, professor and chairman of the Department of Periodontics and Oral Pathology, said the new program will be of great benefit to North Carolinians. Finds Vlasits Guilty assaulting an officer citation, but due to an error in writing, the warrant, the charge was temporarily dropped Monday. Personal appearance bond for Vlasits was set at $1000 and appeal bond at $100. The bond for the renewed charge of obstructing traffic is $500. Vlasits was placed in custody of the Orange County Sheriff until all but the appeal bond is paid. A 12-man all-male jury deliberated for two hours Tuesday before verdict of guilty.

"I personally feel we have had the most unified effort from the last graduating class of this decade than any class has had in the past. We must continue this effort in the coming semester." The senior class has three major projects planned for the spring semester, Farris stated. First, the class will donate a gift "as a lasting, living memorial" to UNC. Suggestions are being accepted 1 ( - Commenting on the announcement of the Rockefeller Foundation grant, a University spokesman said, "This new grant undoubtedly makes UNC the top birth control research center in the country, and probably in the world." JL jL JL "Our graduate dentists will be more aware of the problem of cancer detection," he said. 'And, we will have a facility for dentists and physicians to send patients tor lurcher diagnostic purposes. "Since the American Cancer Society and other agencies interested in this problem have repeatedly stressed that early diagnosis is important in saving patients' lives, it is all the more important for the dental practitioner to be on guard to see that patients with cancer receive early care," he added. Students Organizing Committee. A total of seven persons were arrested during the evening. Vlasits currently is appealing a Federal District Court conviction for refusing draft induction. Should his appeal of the conviction of assaulting an officer fail, there is a good chance that his bond for the draft evasion charge will be revoked. In that event, Vlasits would have to wait out his draft evasion appeal in jail. No date has been set for the trial of the second charge of obstructing traffic, which carries a maximum penalty of three months in jail. now through February 10. "We encourage everyone to make suggestions," Farris said. "The gift is not something the class officers are giving, but something the class as a whole is giving. We encourage class members to think about what they would like to return to and identify with in future years. About $11,000 will be spent on the gift. Another project is a senior class dance. "Students shy away from traditions and the high schoolish image of such a dance," the president said. "Many feel, however, that a Study DTH Staff Photo By Tom Schnabel .Birth Contro $2 Million Grant UNC was already the site of the Carolina Population Center. Operating with $10 million in grants from the federal government and private foundations, the Population Center is studying problems raised by the world population explosion including birth If Dr. Hunter said the funds will be used for three purposes: To upgrade and expand the dental students' training program in cancer detection. To establish an oral cancer detection clinic at the School of Dentistry for referral patients from throughout the state. To support summer projects for dental students interested in this type of training. The three-year grant is the first to the School of Dentistry for program expansion in the area of oral cancer detection. Dr. Hunter said letters are being sent to dentists, physicians and health agencies in the state to inform them of the new program. New courses for senior dental students have been instituted and plans are underway for groups of dental students to have increased exposure to cancer and cancer related problems through various medical facilities in the area. Dr. William P. Webster and Dr. Richard M. Courtney are also working on the HEW project with Dr. Hunter. Dr. Webster is head of the Hospital Dental Service at N.C. Memorial Hospital and assistant professor of pathology. Dr. Courtney is assistant professor of periodontology and oral pathology. y dance would be a good way of ending the year for a class that has been as close as ours. We would like to find out if seniors are interested in such a dance and if so what kind they would want." Seniors should contact class officers Steve Savitz, Molly Nicholson, Sarah Lynn Dorsey or Kay Fouts or any senior dorm representative to discuss the dance. Plans will be made if enough interest is shown. The third major project is graduation itself, Faris said.

This could have been Carolina's best game of the season, if not, it was the Tar Heels' top shooting show. Only the benevolence of Coach Dean Smith kept the point spread from being worse, because with under nine minutes left UNC had already scored 90 points, and seemed destined to finish with at least 115. But Smith yanked the starters and let the reserves have some fun, and so what was a complete rout only looked like what was a convincing win on the scoreboard. control, agriculture, religion, economics, sociology and technology. It is the largest institution of its kind in the United States. Rockefeller Foundation President Dr. G eorge Harrar said that further research in the area of birth control is needed because current methods have not proved entirely satisfactory. A Rockefeller Foundation .spokesman in New York said that further grants for birth control research are not under consideration and that "the purpose at North Carolina is to : pull all the research strings together." The research team at UNC . will work in cooperation with ' the animal science department at North Carolina State University at Raleigh and with the science department at Duke University. Restrictions Im posed Fraternity Visitation Set By BRYAN CUMMING DTH Staff Writer The UNC fraternity system has made its plans for the visitation policy which will go into effect for them next semester, complete with restrictions imposed by the Interfraternity Council (IFC), which were discussed at the 'm it 1 rain it x fix TV2..5?

Speed Tech tried to take a wild bull by the horns and couldn't hold on. When the Yellowjackets appeared on court, Carolina began to run and buck, and it lasted all night While Techmen were at ,one end of the court battling for a rebound, Charlie Scott and his fellow sprinters, Dick Grubftj- and Eddie Fogler, were at the other putting in a fast break layup. When Tech tried to run. they couldn't keep up. But by that time the outcome had been decided, and there were Yellowjackets all over Alexander Coliseum who had lost their sting and were simply too tired to play. Not only the running game threw Tech out of the saddle and to the bleacher seats, but UNC shot some from the outside and hit. In one of the best displays in Carolina history, the Tar Heels shot 60.6 per cent from the field. They hit 24 of 38 in the first half for a 63.2 per cent. UNC usually hits about 47 per cent from the floor. Although Scott stole the scoring show and gained another 5,542 converts with 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, it was not a one act bill for the Tar Heels. Grubar and Fogler engineered enough fast breaks against those that are Engineers to finish with nme assists. For the game UNC had 39 assists. Grubar hit six of seven from the field for 16 points, Bill Bunting 9 of II for 22. It was as if the bull-wrestling event was about to be announced and then all the wild long horns got loose and stampeded through the crowd. Whatever it was that hit them, the Jackets were in a daze. Tech did put one bothersome UNC opponent on the court, and that was 6-9 center Rich Yunkus. Yunkus is a little too skinny at 200 pounds singly to be IFC meeting Monday night.

Bradley also asks . that all those who will drive to Wasliirgton and those seeking rides should contact Susan Dunham at 929-6161. "Anyone who is interested in going can find a ride with someone," said Bradley of the project sponsored locally by the SSOC, New University Conference, and Young Socialists Alliance. Bradley said he expects "at least 100" persons from this area to attend. The week end in Washington is being nationally sponsored by the National Mobilization Committee and will include contingents from most major student activist The IFC has the authority to check each house to insure that the policy is being carried out properly.

Scott, Grubar, Bunting if they were wearing blue uniforms, they scored. Nine Tar Heels got some kind of points. The difference was 39 at 91-52 with nine minutes left, and Smith didn't have it in his heart to leave Whackhyder and his boys with three weeks of nightmares. So out went the starters, and the Jackets made it somewhat closer, although it might have been much more. s groups. The highlight of the three-day week end will be a massive peace march Sunday, led by GIs and Veterans. Also scheduled are conferences and workshops and a Counter Inauguration Ball on Monday night featuring Country Joe and the Fish, the Fugs, and Janis Joplin, Flu Vaccine Infirmary Director Dr. Edward Hedgepeth says some 1000 doses of the Hong Kong flu vaccine are still available to students. The vaccine will be given out daily during normal Infirmary hours until noon Saturday. Dr. Hedgepeth stressed that while there is a present lull in flu cases, a new peak could occur. Consequently, students should take the vaccine. letters from each fraternity in the Office of the Dean of Men. Letters are also required to be sent to the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women and the president of the student body. At the IFC meeting, further visitation regulations were explained by IFC Court Chairman Heywood Davis, who said that houses should be cleaned up before visitation goes into effect He explained the regulations requiring that each guest be signed in, that at least three members of the Host Committee be on duty during the hours and that a monthly evaluation of the policy must be prepared for the Deans of Men and Women. In addition to visitation, the IFC laid plans for spring rush. Sunday night a meeting for prospective rushees attracted nearly five hundred to Memorial Hall. Formal rush will be held Feb. 16-21 this year. A proposal presented by the IFC Special Rush Committee recommending a suspension of the strict silence rule for Feb. 3-13, but this proposal was voted down by the IFC. Another topic was the Paxton Quigler look-alike contest, a publicity event for the premiere of Three in the Attic, which was filmed in Chapel HDL Miss Jeri Lipson of Grey House Boutique spoke to the IFC members, explaining the problem in organizing the contest.
