At that time, the council voted to establish a Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense within the College of Arts and Sciences. It also approved proposals concerning the administration of the new department. Proposals to be considered Friday include stipulations for ROTC candidates, instructors and curriculum. It also includes a recommendation that unless the new curriculum is established by June 1, 1971, the relationship between the University and ROTC programs should "be opened for re-examination." The , ROTC Report was released January 14 by the Committee on Accreditation of ROTC Courses and Programs (Taylor Committee). Besides recommending that ROTC courses continue to receive accreditation by the University, the committee proposed the new curriculum. After release by the Taylor Committee, the report was considered by the administrative boards of the General College and the College of Arts and Sciences, ISC Seeks Application Of Women The International Women's Floor (I-Floor) is now accepting applications for next year.

TODAY'S QUESTION: What should be the Visitation (Open-House) Policy? TOMMY BELLO: I am strongly in favor of a self-determined visitation policy. .1 am not stressing 24 hour-a-day, seven day-a-week visitation as a univeral rule, but it should be up to each individual floor or dorm to decide its own particular visitation policy. To implement a self-determined policy requires ting Friday which then passed their recommendations on to the Faculty Council. Friday's consideration of the report led to heated debate in the council. Proponents ol the recommendations, among them George Taylor, chairman of the Taylor Committee, said "It is extremely important that these young men (in the ROTC program) have the advantages of a liberal education." Maynard Adams, also of the committee, spoke of the University's responsibility "to train professional officers to serve society. If we do not train them, they will receive that training elsewhere." Opponents of the recommendations cited discrepancies between the goals of the military and the University. The recommendations passed Friday include: That the University establish a new interdisciplin ary curriculum on Peace, War and Defense. That this department be administered by a Curriculum Committee appointed by and responsible to the Dean of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences. Members of this committee will include a director, representatives from both the D e p a r tments of Aerospace Studies and Naval Science as well as representatives from at least five other departments, a student from either AFROTC and NROTC, and a student from another department. That the Director and Curriculum Committee of the new department be responsible for developing the department's curriculum; re-examining and strengthening courses presently being offered and adding or substituting new courses; and establishing publications, symposia, lectures and other programs to ensure the progress of the new department. Leary Defends In Syvuiposiunn By PAM PUR YEAR DTH Staff Writer What is a sacrament? To Timothy Leary, former Harvard psychology professor, it is a "thing which produces changes in the nervous system, a key which makes possible dropping out of society." LSD, to Leary, is such a sacrament. Leary, to MIT psychology professor and dissenter Jerome Lettvin, is an "agent of . the devil." The film debate "LSD, Lettvin vs. Leary," was shown Tuesday night as part of the n Wm itfgniidDini more student involvement than is now present. I want to work to stimulate concern among students in favor of this policy. If the administration is going to force us to live in University housing, then they should be willing to make that housin? liveable. A self-determined visitation policy could be the first step along the road of much-needed improvements in the quality of University living. TIM DAUGHTRY: Visitation policy should be locally determined, since many girls have stated they would prefer not to have 24-hour-a-day visitation. Furthermore, visitation and women's rules are two issues in which student government can Relax and Carolina .For Chairmen Next Week Interviews for the Carolina Activities Group will be held Monday through Thursday in Suite A of the Union, according to Richie Leonard, president of the Union. Application blanks and sigh-up sheets are available at the Union information desk. Teh committee chairmen and a secretary will be appointed on the basis of their past records, ideas, and the interview. The chairmen selected will form next year's Union Activities Group. They are JL Union Drug Symposium. The film presented two arguments and left the viewer to decide for himself. Leary's argument was a systematic debunking of the dangers of the drug, accompanied by his exhortation to "Turn on, Drop out." The former Harvard professor did not deny the dangers of the drug, but called it "neutral." He said that since water is also tasteless, colorless, odorless, addictive and productive of withdrawal symptoms, perhaps its use should be prohibited. He made a similar comparison with fire, eiiiM receive strong support. If it concentrates on these issues and other like issues, student government can become an effective means of representing the desires and rights of students. GARY FAGG: We're all working for 24-hour visitation and letting each dorm set its own policy. I think we will have a very good chance of having seven-day-a-week visitation next year. 24-hour visitation will require quite a bit of pressure. We should go to the administration with as much evidence of student support as possible.

Seated in a yoga position, Leary said, "I know of little evidence on the drug's effects on the nervous system and genetic material. I suggest you be very skeptical of such information." He continued, "LSD is always a gamble. What isn't? "The Russian Roulet of LSD," he concluded, "is the best gamble in the house."

G UIL WADDELL: Unquestionably, each house should be allowed to establish its own visitation policy, and if the residents of any unit desires 24-hour, seven day-a-week visitation, they should have that option. The decision concerning whom students desire to have in their homes and how often they wish to invite these visitors is a question to be decided by students and not by the administration. I pledge my full support to the obtainment of this basic student right. TOMORROW: Food Service.

Like the Music Committee, which schedules musical programs of all types, it will try next year to promote local talent to a greater degree.

University participation in the nationwide April 22 Environmental Teach-In, and UNC will join thousands of campuses and communities across the nation in observing Earth Day," according to a statement Wednesday from Teach-in Committee spokesman Jeff Richey. The concept of "Earth Day", Richey said, arose from the gorwing concern over the deterioration of America's natural environment, caused by "unprecedented population and technological growth." The "Earth Day" program will consist of several phases: "Popularization; environemtal alternatives for the future; and symposia on the nation's social and political environment and ecology. Teach-in spokesman John Agar said the popularization program will include mixed media and slide shows, a contest "in collection of litter" and a survey of pollution in North Carolina. A wall size map will show areas of greatest pollution and facilities in the state. The film "Beyond Conception" will also be shown at this time.

Formerly, residents registered immediately prior to each election, but this year registration will begin earlier and end 21 days before each election. Registration for the primary will close on Friday, April 3, at 5 p.m. Residents will still be able to register for the general election, to be held in November. .... . hike jumped user tin 111 IN ) 0 I- f - i" .. . - : f j. - I O 5H VTOl O rm aiiioiiai i altematnes to environmental pollution.

He was formerly associate director of the Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence at Brandeis University of New York. Dr. Conant's topic, "A Comparative View of Black and Youth Rebellion in the 1960's," will cover the manifestations of the student unrest movement, inclusion of blacks in society and rebellion in the youth population. Li one of his published ! works, Dr.-Conant has stated that most activist youth are ! not revolutionaries but insist j that "abhorrent values be j changed and corrected in their society." Youth rebellion in the 60's was a "rejection of the I practised values of the adult i society and thus a reluctance j to accept an active, responsible ' role in that society," according to Dr. Conant. i The public is invited to the i open meeting at 4 p.m. in the !
