Leonard said Newfield will speak informally about his relationship with the late Senator Robert Kennedy, and will answer questions on any topic of interest to the audience. Because of a lack of available seats, Leonard explained, the luncheon will be limited to sixty students and faculty members.

Blalock Jr. commented Thursday that he was "surprised by the apparent calm in Prague" and by frequent "overt signs of pro-American feeling." Blalock met with fellow social scientists in Prague as a part of his three-week tour of Europe covering three countries. "Our hotel was on the main square in Prague and we didn't see anything that appeared unusual. There were many police standing around and a IT 1 1 - - WW 7T-T 7TT iri Ok Hi B A Jr. i I JO Saulis Zemaitis scores over Air Student Union Building. The buildings are named for former University President Frank P. Graham, who was also a U.S. Senator and a United Nations Mediator; former Chancellor R.B.

Student Union The student union building, completed last winter, is a $2.3 million, 100,000 square foot structure located in the new student court. This is the first Planned mgrapher Leonard said. Newfield's view of Robert Kennedy "inverts the populajr sterotypes," Leonard commented. As Newfield writes in the foreward, Leonard continued, "Kennedy was not ruthless, or an excessively ambitious politician, but a conflicted, vulnerable man, impatient with the small contrivances of politics. "And Kennedy was the one politician of his time who might have united the black and white poor into a new majority for change and American liberalism hardly noticed,' Newfield's introduction continues. In addition to the luncheon, Mr. Newfield will hold a general rap session in Room 209 of the Student Union from 10:30 until noon Wednesday, Leonard stated in a news release Saturday. Newfield's visit is sponsored by the current Affairs Committee. Scientist Hubert Blalock Note Calm few soldiers, but no Russian soldiers," noted Blalock. "Some of the people we talked with, particularly the young people, were very bitter toward the Russians: The bitterness is repressed now, but the people are still very frank.. The Russian soldiers are generally treated with disdain." Blalock indicated that signs oi Americanism or Americanization were frequent in Czechoslovakia. "The first thing I heard when I got there was Elvis Presley. A bus driver in Prague had a big American flag on the side of his bus," said Blalock.

Apparently the Air Force Academy is able to wangle several bomb-craters full of the gold every year.

Campbell said the group plans to provide tables, paper, envelopes, stamps, and names and addresses of congressmen and governors to anyone interested in making known his feelings. "Tell them if you are for the war, tell them if you are against it, but above all, tell them," Campbell said. Campbell emphasized that his organization is not affiliated with the Moratorium committee, which plans a similar letter-writing as part of the committee's Moratorium schedule. e vails- Now I they had been some very experiments worried about allowed to do controversial and are now being able to keep the data collected. "Several of them expressed hopes of getting back to that level of work in three or four vears," Blalock added. Some of the intellectuals and social scientists according to Blalock, were worried about being purged. "Everyone was keeping an eye on the purged lists. No one would be put in jail, but they might lose their jobs or the right to leave the country' said Blalock. "They felt that the masses of people would not be Culbreth failed the Tar Heels before a final stanza assault by the Falcons, armed with Gary Baxter, who came on to at least resemble 20th century technology's answer to the crossbow. The contest marked a genuine letdown for most of the Band Day crowd estimated at 37,500. Outlined against a faultless Carolina-Blue October sky, the ABM stystem erected by Dooley stymied the invaders so completely that the crowd sensed a win midway of the last 15 minutes of battle. But then Air Force revved up. Their offense inhaled jet fuel on the sidelines, the defense gorged itself on" bite-size niblets of granite. Coach Ben Martin's command posted 13 points in the concluding two and a half minutes, denied the Tar Heels with an interception, and had its second triumph to go with two losses. Penalties hurt UNC, and there were the mental mistakes that Coach Dooley has bemoaned all season, but the Air Force "hung in there even while we hit them awful hard", said the Heel boss. The fierce hitting deprived Carolina' of its fine offensive back Don McCauley, who was shaken up a couple of times, and sat out much of the second half. Air Force's guiding hand, field general Baxter, who has ranked in the top 10 in the country in total offense this season, "felt we could pull it out even when behind 10r7 in the fourth quarter. Still I don't think I played very well." Falcon mentor Martin noted that his squad found Carolina tougher than expected, the Tar Heels following SMU, Missouri and Wyoming on the Air Force schedule. Thus UNC, on the verge of -IT -5 - A' 4 r I 1 1 l7 Bays knocks the affected by the purge, but that intellectuals and people in academics would feel the pinch." Blalock confessed a lack of knowledge on the internal political struggles apparently taking place in Czechoslovakia at the time. "The people best know about who would the political situation were too discouraged to even talk about it," Blalock explained. "I did find that some were unhappy about the new minister of education." "The general public doesn't seem to know what's going on. It's very hard to tell who's got the real power," Blalock noted. F an upset, assumed the disconsolate face it believed it had shunned, on the retreat from the scene and subsequently in the club house. The Tar Heels have succeeded, in the last two weeks, in transforming an offense that was mostly potential energy into one of kinetic energy. Unfortunately for the Heels, the Flyers contained the reactants when UNC needed desperately to put them together. Air Force totalled 322 yards in offense, Carolina 273. First downs were evenly distributed at 15 for each team. Carolina capitalized on its first big opportunity to score, which came about as a result of a forceful tackle by defensive back David Jackson. The UNC defender smacked fly boy Joe Jennings so hard that the 9.7 speedster was dislodged from the football at the Air Force 18 yard line. Linebacker Bill Richardson, Carolina's sturdiest, recovered. Quarterback Johnny Swofford lofted a spiral to soph Lewis Jolley, who started at wingback in place of the injured, Bucky Perry, and the 205-pounder went down on the Academy doorstep. Saulis Zemaitis scored from the two, Don Hartig converted, and the Tar Heels were on the scoreboard. The 7-0 reading was barely discernible on the newly installed board, the lighting being insufficient competition for the sunshine. There was a hint that the expected offensive extravaganza- would emerge when the Falcons exploded a Baxter to Dave MacGee bomb early in the second quarter. That pass tied the score 7-7, and there were visions of a replay of UNC's 38-22 fling with Vanderbilt a week ago.

"The situation wasn't as outwardly tense as Chapel Hill during "the Lenoir demonstrations last year." 1 range that high. But the Tar Heels had their last payoff play about five minutes later. Trusty senior Hartig toed a 34 yard field goal to make it 10-7, and things stood thusly until the Falcons surge that penetrated Carolina scoring territory in the fourth period. Air Force had reason to believe its air rights were being violated. Baxter completed but five of 11 in the first half, did little better in the second, but Coach In Unh TTTT iniits ap By CLINT ROSWELL DTH Sports Writer The Tar Heels out-played, out-hit, out-defensed Air Force, but they still managed to lose another game. This time, however, they were helped a little by another factor. It was the officials who turned another good effort into a defeat. Coach Bill Dooley, who is becoming more frustrated every week, had this to say: " "Never career have in my coaching I criticized the officials. But there were some critical calls which went against us, and I do question them. I am saying this because I owe it to my players. They gave a magnificent effort." There were two pass interference plays, that raised some doubt in Dooley's mind. Thev came at times when the Tar Heels had good momentum and were heading for a score. In the first half, offensive pass interference was called on Don McCauley on a third down sideline pass from Swofford. McCauley evaded some Falcon linebackers and was not hauled down until he was deep in Falcon territory. The officials throught McCauley pushed and prevented Air Force players from getting the ball. Dooley thought McCauley was "just going for the ball." The infraction put the Heels back to their own 27 yard line, plus a loss of down, forcing the Heels to kick and to give up a chance to score. In the fourth quarter with the Heels ahead, 10-7, Swofford was penetrating real well, mixing the plays effectively, and Carolina seemed to have the momentum again when another key play was mishandled by the officials On a pass from Swofford to f r ' I i. - t . f :' 4 f " J v ... !- i1 . r hi its I v- .. . .if . .. T DTH Staff Photo by Stevr Adams Longnecker dives for a pass his 13 for 34 brought victory. The Heels crumbled, set back by penalties, before Baxter's aerials and the spirited runs of fullback Jim DeOrio in the late moments. Baxter raced 12 yards for the winning TD, foiled on a passing attempt, beating UNC ironically enough on a run after throws had the Falcons in scoring range. The Tar Heels were not betrayed by their defense. They just gave out of gallantry. Re py L Ricky Lanier, Lanier was double covered and appeared to be held and pushed. No call was made, and Carolina again was forced to punt. The calls took something away, namely a win, from a game that otherwise was a hard fought, well-played game. Falcon Head Coach Ben Martin readily admitted that the Tar Heels did play well, but seemed to lose their drive at certain points in the game. "Carolina passed the ball well and was executing well. They hit with intensity and they outhit us most of the game. We're lucky and happy to win," Martin said happily. Martin then added: "Carolina got tired late in the game and we got some confidence. We got some breaks and we were able to pull it out." The breaks that Martin mentioned were probably the pass interference plays, for Martin really had nothing to gloat about. His star offensive player was held in check the whole game and none of his speedsters raced past the prudent and determined Heel defense, and all he could manage was a win. Coach Dooley cited mental errors as a determining factor in the loss. "Again it was a case of mental errors beating us. We played hard enough to win, but we had mental lapses which beat us." But it was the officiating which took the spirit out of the Tar Heels. Dooley conceded this, and after his third loss he still has faith in his team. "We're a good football team,' ' he said in a disappointed but firm tone. He wasn't the only one who felt this way. 7
