Featured speakers at the rally will include leaders of GIs United Against the War, an organization of Ft. Bragg soldiers who support GI civil rights. According to Thomas, the GIs United organized Saturday's activities in spite of the harassment they had received from authorities at Ft. Bragg. He claimed that many had been placed in the brig or had drawn undesirable duty assignments because of anti-war activities. Thomas said, "The GIs United is not allowed to distribute their news sheet on the base because the editorial opinion does not coincide with those of top army officials." He added, "Really it boils down to a question of basic civil rights. In other words this issue involves the question of whether non-ranking army personnel should have the right of free speech and freedom of assembly." Thomas said that the agenda for Saturday's march and rally in Fayetteville would be discussed Thursday night. According to Thomas the local contingent is tentatively scheduled to leave Chapel Hill at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, arrive at Fayetteville State College sometime after noon and begin the march there. Thomas said the march would extend through downtown Fayetteville, after which the rally will be held until 5:00 p.m. Thomas urged people who hrmim IVomimatioms Slow If By BILL MILLER DTH Staff Writer "I obviously cannot constitute a consultative forum until I get the names from the people making nominations," Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson answered Tuesday concerning his plans for the proposed forum. Sitterson announced Oct. 20 that he would appoint a Consultative Forum consisting of representatives from all members of the academic community. He explained Tuesday, "I asked the president of the student body, the chairman of the faculty, the president of the University, and the president of the Alumni Association to make nominations to this committee. "Thus far, I have received recommendations from Orange Oiar; Ei.;ht men will appear in Orange County District Court this morning to face charges filed ajainst them for activities in connection with the cafeteria workers strike here.

He also urged UCP members to participate in a march Friday at 1:00 p.m. at Greenville, N.C. Thomsas said, 'There is a need for people from Chapel Hill to assist the members of the Greenville movement. Twenty-nine people in the local peace organization have been arrested and indicted on various convenient charges, including one following an incident where drugs were planted on active participants." The regular Thursday night Student Legislature meeting will be postponed until next Tuesday at 7:30 in order to allow time for consideration of additional legislation. Legislation to be brought up Tuesday will include Alan Hirsch's bill insuring that defendants in students courts be guaranteed all rights included in the Constitution of the United States and granted in civil court action. Also to be introduced Tuesday is Hirsch's bill on the policy toward sale of certain drugs, limiting the aspects of drug use which can be Misidered offenses against the Delaying Chancellor's Committee President (William C.) Friday only. He added he had conferred with Fred Cleaveland, chairman of the faculty and with the president of the Alumni Association regarding nominations. Cleaveland had indicated, he reported, that his roster, of nominees would be completed within the next few days. Neither Alan Albright, president of the Student Body, nor the Alumni Association president have given any indications regarding completion of their nominations. Sitterson, who will appoint the administration representatives, said he was awaiting the decisions of the other nominators so "we can create a wider spectrum of personalities on the forum." He said he could give no indication as to when the OllF on isiov. 25. Floyd Linder is charged with disorderly conduct for activities on the same date.

Hirsch said he will discuss this legislation with Dean of Men James O. Cansler before he introduces it in legislature. The meeting has been delayed, however, to allow time for representatives to observe developments concerning several actions of past SL meetings. According to Rafael Perez the SL had so little business to conduct Thursday that time should be allowed for looking into additional matters. A number of developments could, however, make the Tuesday night meeting a stormy one. Dean Cansler's proposed suspension of visitation privileges will stir heated nominating procedures will be completed. The proposed Consultative Forum is to consist of 15 students, 15 faculty representatives, 15 administrative and non-academic representatives, eight members from the Board of Trustees and seven alumni representatives. The purpose of the forum was outlined by Sitterson as "to achieve a wider expepression of viewpoints in the consideration of important (campus) issues." He is slated to chair the special committee. The work of the committee was originally reported to begin with self-evaluation and self-education centered around the operation of the University. Sitterson termed the following steps a "hope that the forum can turn to an ears trike official, and John WTheeler, a graduate student in sociology, will face charges of failure to disperse for their actions on Dec. 5. In that incident approximately 25 police had charged, a group of demonstrators when the pickets and sympathizers failed to heed police orders to disperse. Nine persons were .arrested and four, including Wheeler and Thorne, were injured. Jj1 i' 1 1 to get together and do debate. Cansler said he might suspend the privilege if Alan Albright, student body president, approves a bill passed during the last SL meeting setting penalties against violators of visitation policies. At that meeting Rep. John Williford charged SL did not have power to' make the decision on penalties without concourse with Cansler. The bill passed anyway, and Albright did not veto it. Thus legislators may consider how to deal with Cansler's actions should he cut off visitation. Also, discussion may arise on a possible Student Constitution amendment to reduce the powers of the Student Supreme Court. This action will be dependant on Covnin exploration of ways to improve progress of imformation exchange and consultation which are indispensable to sound policy making and effecting policy implementa tions." The idea of a consultative forum for UNC evolved out of discussions between Albright, Cleaveland, John Graham and Sitterson, It was originally scheduled by Sitterson to begin work in November. He later said, "I had hoped it wTould be started before Christmas break." Tuesday, Sitterson said, "I hope it will be started sometime in January." "I am working for it. I will put it into session as soon as I get the names of the nominees. "It's not always as easy to get nominees as it appears. We are working on it," he concluded. v wjmv .-gap"-.

Mendel Rivers, D-S.C, of the House Armed Services Committee said Tuesday he was not ready to go as far as President Nixon and concede that a massacre occurred at My Lai. Rivers told reporters that the investigating subcommittee which he heads had not delved into the case far enough to be certain that there , ever was a slaughter of South Vietnamese civilians by American soldiers at My Lai March 16, 1968. This conflicted with comments by Nixon, who said in his Monday night news conference: "What appears was certainly a massacre; under no circumstances wras it justified." "If he knows that, he knows more than I do," Rivers said E I ., f f By SHARON HAGIE DTH Staff Writer A set of alternatives to the AWS proposal that freshman women be given self-limiting hours with parental permission was discussed at the Executive Council meeting Monday night. This provision was a part of the controversial Rules Implementation Proposal presented to UNC coeds by the AWS Rules Committee last week. The list of alternatives stemmed from the heated arguments which greeted this section easily the most contested segment of the rules proposal. Opposition against self-limiting hours for freshmen centers around the belief that such freedom would hamper their adjustment into university life, for which many eighteen-year-olds are not ready to take the responsibility. Its opponents also protest that many parents are not well acquainted with conditions here and cannot adequately make the self -limiting hours decision. The listed alternatives included: Hours for all freshman for both semesters; Hours for one semester, self -limiting hours for the second semester, either campus-wide or subject to parental permission; Hours for all freshman except those whose parents feel they have the background for coping with self-limiting hours. A parental permission form for self-limiting hours would be available on request by the student. The latter alternative differs from the original parental permission proposal by placing the initiative on the student, rather than throwing the question directly to the parents. Under this ruling any freshman coed who wanted a set curfew or who knew that her parents would insist on one could avoid the issue of self-limiting hours completely. This alternative appears to be receiving considerable backing from both the Executive Council representatives who accepted the original proposal and those who contested it. The presentation of the original proposal and of its alternatives fostered a great deal of discussion by representatives and other students, both men and women, who attended r-- (i ' 1 Spanish I reaches everyone Unre A 3. following a closed hearing of the subcommittee." ...

Nixon said he believed My Lai was an "isolatsd incident" and cautioned that all Americans connected with it should be presumed innocent until proven otherwise. The" SCLE had claimed black children could not relate to a white Santa, and that Santa was a "racist symbol." Fred Lazarus III, chairman of the board of Shiilito's and president of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, said he disagreed that "Santa Claus is a racist symbol or is immoral." 1 the meeting. Some of the strongest arguments presented agains the more liberal proposals were: Parents are legally responsible for the actions of their daughters until they are 21 3nd therefore should have some role in determining their conduct here; The liberalization of rules would tend to polarize the type of coed who enters UNO, those with conservative parents would not be allowed to even apply for admission here and UNC would become one-sided in fact as well as in image. The University would suffer in the long run by losing the diversity of students which it now has. The University has an obligation to a large number of conservatively-oriented taxpayers; The Executive Council representatives have n obligation to their constituents, many of whom have expressed the belief that curfew hours, at least for freshmen, should remain intact. (Whether these persons are in the majority seems to differ according to the residence hall.) Arguments in favor of rules liberalization included: Social regulations for women only are in effect sexually discriminatory and would be declared unconstitutional in a civil court; Even if the majority of coeds do feel the need of curfew hours for freshmen, there should be some provision whereby the minority who do want self-limiting hours can have them; There is no real evidence that a 1 or 2 to 5 a.m. curfew period facilitates adjustment to university life. How many coeds actually study or get their adjustment problems solved during these hours? The adjustment problems are real but they need an improved system of graduate and faculty counseling, for example. The University should not use curfew rules as a cure-all. These and other arguments will be taken into consideration at a rules committee meeting Friday, at which the committee, headed by Anne Edenfield, is expected to formulate a final proposal. This proposal will probably be the Executive Council Monday Y At Age 60 WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Senate voted Tuesday to let people retire at age 60 and receive two-thirds of the Social Security benefits they wTould get if they waited until they were 65. But, in deference to President Nixon's threat, of a veto of a tax reform bill that he said was too costly, the Senate tacked onto the plan an amendment putting it into effect only after the President declares that the threat of inflation had ended. The proposal, adopted 53 to 37, would permit 3.5 million people now in the work force to retire early and still receive two-thirds of the regular Social Security benefits. Even after reaching age 65 and for the rest of their lives, they would not receive more than two-thirds under the proposal. The early retirement plan was sought by the United Mine Workers to benefit miners who are frequently forced from the mines before they reach age 65 because of disabling injuries The law now lets people retire at age 62 with 80 per cent of full benefits. Wives at 62 receive 75 per cent of full benefits. The Senate has already approved a provision in its tax reform bill granting a 65 per cent across the board increase in Social Security benefits Jan. 1 and raising the minimum benefits from their current scale of $55 for a single person and S82.50 for a couple to $100 and $150. President Nixon told bis news conference Monday night this was one of the provisions that would cause him to veto the present form. Economy-minded Sen. John J. Williams, R-Del., said Tuesday he may make one final attempt to kill the boost in Social Security benefits and to eliminate the bill's increase in the income tax personal exemption from $600 to $800. .
