By SUSI RUSSELL DTH Staff Writer The Student Union is hosting today the admissions counselor of Chapman College lor the World Campus Afloat, Pvlrs. Iris Powers. Mrs. Powers will be in the Union lobby from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to acquaint students with the World Campus Afloat, a college transfer program offering semesters at sea on a shipboard campus. The World Campus Afloat is a completely accredited program administered by the Division of International Education of Chapman College. One semester each year WCA offers an around-the-world intinerary to the Orient, India, Africa and western Europe. The other semester itenerary includes ports in western Europe, the Mediterranean, western Africa and South America. Students may attend WCA for either one or two semesters, during which they carry a regular semester load which includes a required interdisciplinary world studies course. Mrs. Powers emphasized Monday that the voyage is a "serious academic adventure," but one which is the "biggest thing to ever happen in a student's life." One semester aboard the S.S. Tyndam, a 15,000 gross-ton ocean liner owned by the Holland-American Lines, costs S3,250, but about 80 per cent of the 500 students each semester receive according to Mrs Even with financial aid, Powers, funds from kliool aw ayns'wortli Discussion "Haynsworth and Judicial Ethics" is the topic for discussion today at a Student Bar Association panel program scheduled for 12:30 p.m. in the Law School. The public is invited to join the students at the open meeting in the Wettach-Van Hecke Law Building. The panel participants are Charlotte attorney Julian L. Chambers, a 1962 graduate (with high honors) of the UNC Law School and former editor-in-chief of the North Carolina Law Review, and William W. -Van Alstyne, Ge It The local tax increase would raise the sales tax to four cents on the dollar in every county except Mecklenburg where the increase would put it at five cents. Each county decides for itself whether to have the tax increase. The system for handling the ay student tuition, the Chapman World- Campus Afloat, Scholarship Fund and the Holland-America Lines of the Netherlands must supplement the program financially because of the enormous expense, she said. Mrs. Powers commented that many students change their majors during the voyage because of the vast amount of experience they acquire in the "adventures in living." Nancy Foreman, a student at UNC, has been accepted by the WCA for the spring semester of 1970. mentation Is Assured By SL By HAMP HOWELL DTH Staff Writer Student Legislature, in a bill passed at last Thursday night's session, has assured that student funds will be used for orientation only as long as it is run by students. The bill provides that all allocations for orientation be withdrawn "should the Dean of Men attempt to circumvent student planning of orientation either through the orientation commission or through an extra-student government agency." v Gene Yates, University Party legislator from district 1, introduced the measure, saying, "The administration Schedules professor of law at Duke University and former deputy attorney general of California. They will present their views and answer questions pertaining to Clement Haynsworth whose nomination to succeed Abe Fortas on the U.S. Supreme Court is under fire. Chambers has testified against the Greenville, S.C. judge in the nation's capital hearings, and Professor Van Alstyne has testified for Haynsworth. Robert Melott, assistant dean of the Law School, will serve as the panel moderator. ni i' ff 'iinu-.i in i ni'J-j-i.4 DTtl Staff iHtoto by CUff Kokivsou warm day for a while nn increase is set up to combine one-half of the additional tax collections from all participating counties into one state fund. The individual counties keep the other half. After the combined tax revenue is collected, the state then disperses the money among the ' participating counties on a per capita basis. Town councils and county boards of commissioners across the state have endorsed the sales tax increase while many labor and independent groups oppose it. The primary argument against the increase has been that it places an unfair burden on the poor. The increase will tax a man that makes $1 ,000 a year the same as the man that makes $50,000 a year, provided they spend an equal amount on items covered by the sales tax. Those favoring the tax have argued that many projects that would benefit the poor and such projects as improved educational facilities have been hampered by a lack of funds. With the increase," more social projects could be undertaken should run orientation with its own funds in the first place. However, if students pay for it, students should run it," he said. The bill was signed Monday by SL Vice President Rafael Perez but has not yet been approved by President Alan Albright. Bruce Cunningham, chairman of SL's Orientation Committee, said, "No one on the committee or in the Dean of Men's office had any knowledge of such plans being made. "I think the bill was a little premature," Cunningham added, "and was a spur of the moment decision, prompted by rumors." 4 USA By SHARON HAGIE DTH Staff Writer A new peace movement which began in a North Carolina town will begin recruiting support at UNC this week in preparation for an exodus to Washington Nov. 11 Veterans Day. The group, which is now known as the United Silent Americans, had its beginnings in Salisbury.

The body of sophomore Charles Edward Baker, 20, was discovered less than a mile away from the accident by searchers, near neighboring Camp Seagull. As of Monday afternoon, search was still underway for sophomores Don Linton Lewis, 19, and Alan Thomas Moody, 19. Associate Dean of Men Fred Schroeder, head of the investigation, said Monday that searchers had no hope of recovering the two boys alive. Junior Albert Stier Hudson, the only known survivor, was checked by the infirmary yesterday and released "in good condition," said Dr. Edward Hedgepeth, Infirmary X by the individual counties. The Board of Aldermen in Chapel Hill endorsed the additional sales tax by a unanimous 6-0 vote several weeks ago. The chances for its passage here, however, are slim according to numorous press releases and Mayor Howard Lee. "We're not here about very optimistic the increase passing, Lee said. "I don't think either side has presented a very good .:ase for either passing or defeating it." Lee added he supports the increase although he has mixed emotions about it. After studying the proposed tax closely, lio said, he found it would be less of a burden on the people if it passed thar if it didn't. "We could use the money to advance some very good plans," Lee said. "Ad valorem taxes here will have to be increased if this increase is rejected." Lee feels the basic mood of the people in the state is one of ents 9 Action Nelson Drew, representative from district 7 who worded the bill in its final form, conceded it was hastily written and that he was "not aware of any active plans of the Dean of Men at this time to usurp student planning of orientation. "I wise just thought it would be if the bill were nassed now, rather than have one rushed through after some action had been taken by the dean," he said. Drew added, "I think the Student Legislature should at times take a little more care with the bills it passes, and I would have liked to have seen this one thought out more." ovsvnc movement based in Washington "an honorable and lasting solution -to the Vietnam conflict." The two men invited anyone of similar convictions to accompany them to Washington Nov. 1 1 to express this support.

Hudson was unavailable for comment. The four students were participating in a retreat sponsored by the Granville Towers student government, according to Granville Governor Michael Padrick, "to get away and relax from the up-tight atmosphere at Chapel Hill." Forty students were on the Camp Caroline retreat. From all accounts, the four boys left camp in two canoes at 6 p.m. After stopping at a waterside store, they paddled into the Neuse River despite gale warnings. At 7:00, in high waves, strong winds and heavy rains, the canoes capsized. The four boys lashed the canoes together, then held on for several hours in the storm.

Ticket Sales Weren't Unfair Henry Says Howard Henry, director of the Carolina Union said yesterday he sees 'no indication of need" for a change in the handling of concert ticket sales. Henry was speaking in response to criticism that ticket sales for the Fifth Dimension show this Saturday were not conducted fairly. Students complained that the show was sold out in four days and that not all buyers were Carolina students. Other complaints were that the sale started too early, a student could purchase as many tickets as he wanted and many students are scalping tickets at outrageous prices. The ticket sales started Oct. 27 and ended at about 11 p.m. Oct. 31 when the last ticket was sold. Henry said ticket sales were handled for this concert in the same manner as for all other concerts. He cited the "unparalleled demand" for tickets as the reason for the early sell-out. Henry noted basic Student Union policy is to start ticket sales two weeks before the concert and to sell tickets in unlimited quantity to anyone who wants to buy them. There were no changes in this plan for the Fifth Dimension how. Henry admitted that ticket scalping is occurring and expressed displeasure at the fact. He invited all students to make suggestions for possible improvements in the present system and said, "If it will make people happy, we will bp glad to change the present format, but I foresee no changes at this time."
