meeting Thursday night to

academic reform.
The student meeting will

representatives from the

and answer questions.
Bill Sowers, a member of

Sowers served on the

Still in the planning stages, the

an education apart from the

The students will live

his "duty and obligation; to
insure that the trial continue."
The judge imposed jail
terms of three months each on
16 separate counts of
contempt against Seale for the
violent and obscene outbursts
that caused the court to order
the Negro militant gagged and
shackled for three days last
week. He ruled that the terms
would run consecutively.
Seale interrupted twice
during the reading of the
specifications against him, once
shouting "that's a lie."
Hoffman found Seale in
contempt after a fellow judge,
U.S. District Court Judge
Edwin A. Robson, had upheld
Hoffman's action in ordering
Seale gagged and shackled.
Robson ruled that "no
other remedy was available" to
Hoffman when Seale's violent
outbursts threw the trial into
chaos and triggered the
gag-and-bind order for three
tumultuous days last week.
Seale brought the trial to a
halt again Wednesday by
brushing aside Hoffman's
orders to . sit down and
pumping questions at a
prosecution witness.
Hoffman sent the jury from
the room and recessed the
morning session early. But he
did not again order Seale
gagged and restrained with
leather shackles.
Seale and seven other
defendants are on trial before
Hoffman and a federal court
jury on charges of conspiring
to incite the rioting by Hippies,
Yippies and other antiwar
demonstrators.
Robson dismissed a
petition, brought by about ."()

demanding that the riot

Howard Lee, Chapel Hill's
mayor, was "somewhat
d i sap pointed" at the
referendum -defeat here. Lee
had joined with several other
town and county officials,
including the Town Board of
Aldermen, in supporting the
tax.
"I feel all leaders in the
community bear some part of
the burden for not selling the
tax package well enough," Lee
: said Wednesday '
Lee refused to make a
comment on whether he will
push . fqr an increase in ad
valorem taxes. He earlier in the
week said they would probably
have to be raised if the sales
tax option was defeated.
Lee commented that no
town projects have been hurt
by the vote since, they were
financed "without the
expectation of the sales tax
passing."
"Much could have been
accomplished with the sales tax
money," Lee added.
The sales tax was approved
primarily in the rural and
far-eastern and far-western
counties. The tax is favored in
these lesser developed counties
because of a pooling set-up.
The 25 counties approving
the tax will each keep one-half
of the additional tax intake.
The other half will be pooled
into one state fund with
allocation on a per capita basis.
Under this system, the counties
without large, evc!opd
commercial centers stand to
gain.

The Y estimated at the end

"Right now we are busy

interest is extremely high, we'll

Goldstein continued. He said
the buses will leave here at 1

The march vill feature
44,000 people walking in single

names of America's war-dead.
The North Carolina delegation,
Goldstein said, will march from
8 a.m. to noon Friday.
The march will begin at
Arlington Cemetery, wind
around the White House and
end with placing the placards
in large, black coffins in

He noted, however, the

"Estimates of up to 500,000

"We've heard it all before"
was the general opinion of
those attending a
student-faculty forum to
observe and discuss President
Nixon's Vietnam message
Monday night.
The forum, held in Howell
Hall and sponsored by the
Moratorium Committee, began
with all present listening to the
President's speech on
television.
Then a panel composed of
Dr. Alden Lind (political
science), Dr. Lewis Lipsitz
(political science), Dr. Larry
Kessler (history) and Fred
Taylor (senior religion major)
led a discussion of opinions
and reactions to the speech.
Dr. Lind began the
discussion pointing out that
Nixon refused to say anything
new.4
"Nixon will continue to use
worn-out cliches such as 'new
strategy for peace and
'Vietnamization of the war'
because he can't see the
political handwriting on the
wall that we want out of
Vietnam and an end to
containment," he said.
Lind also noted that
Nixon's timetable for
withdrawal hinges on how

said, "with this one

Local activity will be at a
minimum therefore, with
canvassing and leafleting
planned for Pittsboro,
Hillsborough and Carrboro."
North Vietnam reacts to it in
such ways as increased
infiltration, increased
American casualties and
increased guerilla activity.
Lind concluded that North
Vietnam will probably take the
strategic advantage offered by
a withdrawal of American
troops and thus Nixon's
timetable could drag on
indefinitely.
"Elections don't mean a
thing to the Vietnamese people
because so many limitations
are put on them by the
government," said Dr. lind.
Dr. Lipsitz remarked that
Nixon's speech was
"nationalistic and chauvinistic"
because of its many references
to American history.
"This administration is
delaying action for it seeks to
preserve the vision that says we
can win this war," he said.
Dr. Kessler thought . the
