or AboIIo 11
The crewmen of Apollo 11
return to earth today, and
NASA officials have already
begun talking about the Apollo
12 flight in November.
As Neil Armstrong, Buzz
Aldrin and Michael Collins were
preparing for re-entry into the
earth's atmosphere Wednesday
afternoon officials at the
Manned Space Flight Center in
Houston were telling reporters
about the next moon walk.
Five hours of moon walking
are scheduled for the November
flight. They will be split into
walks of two and three hours
each.
Astronauts Armstrong and
Aldrin spent two hours and 40
minutes on the moon's surface
Sunday night performing various
experiments and collecting
samples of rocks for analysis by
scientists.
All three Apollo 11
astronauts trained in the
Morehead Planetarium here.

For Fiber Plant
Rezoning
The 450-acre proposed site
for Fiber Industries has been
recommended for rezoning.
Meeting Tuesday night the
Orange County Planning Board
unanimously recommended that
the Blackwood Station tract be
rezoned for residential to
industrial.
Board member Mark
Burnham suggested that the
rezoning be delayed until new
and stricter performance
standards be inserted in the
zoning ordinance of Chapel Hill
Township, but the board
approved rezoning without the
stipulations.
The recommendation will go
before the Orange County
Commissioners Tuesday night.
The commissioners are expected
to re zone the land without
dissent at their Aug. 4 meeting.
Board Chairman Carl Smith
has been one of the industry's
chief advocates. Commissioners
Ira Ward and Harvey Bennett
also participated in a pro-Fiber
campaign waged by the Chapel
HillCarrboro Chamber of
Commerce.
The board did, however,
agree to a suggestion from
Burnham that he and the staff of
the Triangle Research Regional
Planning Commission
recommend restrictions on
industrial performance and to
the desirability of having Fiber

Duke Forest area and dumping it

treatment plant.
Burnham's objections to the
rezoning were reviewed by the
board in a length ly
memorandum which lists its
principal objections as:
-the invalidity of the "tax
base" argument as an
inducement to rezone;
the type of employment
that is likely to develop; and
the priority of human
resource needs above those of
science;
Burnham also suggested that
the plant be built in a
rectangular shape to provide
wooded buffer strips.
Board member Bob
Strayhorn asked Burnham,
"Why worry about the effluent
before you issue the building
permit and know where it's
going?"
"I don't think Fiber
Industries would balk at piping
the effluent and it would make
the Duke Foresters feel a lot
better," Burnham replied.
"Fiber Industries should be
treated like any other industry,
even though it is much bigger,"
Strayhorn said. "I don't think
people in the area have any hard
feelings toward the University,
or don't feel that research in the
stream shouldn't continue. You
won't find a one who doesn't
think all these problems can't be
worked out."
Fiber Industries plans to
build a $100 million plant which
will create 1,500 jobs on the
site.

area predicted smooth weather
for the returning astronauts in
their splashdown area.
A tropical storm is about 300
miles from the recovery area,
but experts say that it will not
interfere with the 12:51 p.m.
splashdown.
A newly-discovered underseas
mountain in the recovery area
has been named Mt. Apollo 11.
In other space activity,
scientists at the University of
California's Lick Observatory
say that they have not been able
to bounce laser beams off of the
reflector left on the moon by
the astronauts. They plan to try
again Tuesday night.
The main problem, the
astronomers say, is that the
exact landing site of Apollo 11
has not yet been pinpointed.
Armstrong took over the
controls of the lunar module
Sunday to lift the craft out of a
large rock field where it was
about to land. The landing was
about four miles from the
projected site.
Rep. William Jennings Bryan

Students Organize
To Help
By TOM GOODING
Editor
Controversy over the
laying-off of workers by Saga
Food Service has resulted in an
organized drive on the part of
students and faculty members to
find employment for the
non-academic workers.
Nearly 100 students and
faculty members met last
Tuesday and decided to apply
pressure to both Saga and the
University while starting an
independent effort to find
employment for the laid off
workers.
Alan Albright, Student Body
President, listed the goals of the
group as: (1) Find employment
for the workers that have been
laid off (2) find out the situation
of the other 85 workers; (3) find
out what the university's
responsibility is; and (4) find out
what Saga's responsibility to the
workers is.
"Legally the university gave
the understanding that the
employees would be offered
jobs, and I feel there is an
any curriculum changes which
may result from the review and
recommendations of the
Mersbacher Committee. These
changes are expected to be in
effect by next spring.
"Teaching is still my main
interest," Nelson said, "but I
will be carrying only a
two-thirds load in order to allow
time for these new duties."
He has previously served as an
advisor in the College of Arts
and Sciences from 1965-1968
and as assistant chairman of the
history department from
1968-1969.
He graduated Phi Beta Kappa
with highest honors from
Northwestern University and
studied at UNC for one year
then returned to Northwestern
for his Ph.D. in 1962.
Workers
obligation on the part of the
University to find them jobs,
Albright said.
Albright added that, "The
Chancellor can send forth an
individual to find jobs and thus
avoid the time consuming
problem of administrative red
tape."
Concerning Saga, Albright
wanted to obtain "a statement
as to their criterion for
laying-off employees" and a
letter of notification to the
workers who will be rehired."
Albright emphasized that
Saga would have to issue a
"renouncement of selective
laying-off," a policy of
laying-off only workers who
were active in last spring's strike.
Bob Friedman, spokesman
for the Fair Food Service
Student Committee, said,
"There has been a lot of bad
faith on the part of the
University and Saga.
"We organized this
committee to try to improve the
situation of the workers,
especially in the area of
improving their morale which
was very low. We also hope to
raise the level of student interest
on this issue."
Organizing the workers into a
union was proposed by Michael
