The arrests, according to Lieutenant Herman Stone , of Chapel Hill Police Department, were the result of several joint raids by Chapel Hill police and State Bureau of Investigation officers. Stone said the arrests were part of a continuing investigation of narcotics sales in the Chapel Hill area. Fagg, a junior from High Point, was arrested and charged with possession and sale of narcotics. He is being held in lieu of $10,000 bond in Orange County jail in Hillsborough. Also arrested was Fagg's roommate, Steven Ray Cornelison, 21, of Salisbury. He is charged with one count of possession of narcotics (marijuana). Others arrested include Michael Lee Kapsalakis, 17, a sophomore from Raleigh, charged with one count of possession and sale of LSD. Charged with the same offense is Thomas Floyd Jackson III, 19, a freshman from Coats. Gregory Charles Cooper, 22, a senior from Carrboro is charged with two counts of possession and sale of LSD. Marcus Williams, a resident of Carrboro was charged with possession and sale of marijuana. He is not a student. A Chapel Hill High School student, Samuel McDonald, was arrested on one count of possession of marijuana. He was freed Monday afternoon under $500 bail. Arraignment in Chapel Hill court is set for March 25. The suspects were held in Chapel Hill city jail prior to their transfer to Hillsborough. None of the suspects except McDonald had posted bail by 4:30 pjn. Monday. Fagg, in an interview during the student presidential campaign, said, "I believe possession of drugs is not an offense which should be tried by the University. Sale and transfer of drugs, however, does affect the University and should be tried in student courts. Most serious drug cases involve jail sentences imposed by state courts and any student court action would be superfluous." The Conservative Party executive committee released a statement early Monday afternoon. The statement, signed by Richard Mitchell, vice chairman of the party, said "The executive committee wishes to express its personal confidence in Gary Fagg. We know no more than the press, but we urge all students to exercise the presumption that Gary is innocent until proven guilty." 1-Week Tickets : Tickets for the; : International Student; Center's 1-Week program will be on sale in the lobby :5 of Craige Dorm from 6 to : !;; 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Cathey said the University considers drug charges "a very serious business." He said the University will abide by its drug policy, adding "The University has special concerns and we expect to serve them. This University is not a refuge for those who break the law." He said the University would make a decision about those arrested and University charges might be brought prior to civil court action. Cathey added that the University "does not intend to interfere at the moment with the academic continuance of any of the students arrested unless they pose a threat to their own welfare or that of other students. Udall Advocates Change At Symposium Opening By MARK PERRYMAN DTH Staff Writer Stewart . Udall, . former Secretary of the Interior, called for a change in national goals before a near-capacity crowd in Memorial Hall Sunday night. Speaking before the first session of the 1970 Carolina Symposium, Udall noted the necessity of changing priorities from an unlimited economic growth to a better balanced, higher quality life style. Udall is director of the Overview Groupr a firm which advises governments on planning better environments. He has written several books on the problem of conservation. In his speech, "An Overview of Man and Environment," Udall said the present environmental crisis is "the most searching problem in my lifetime." The world will not 'COtt Viih W By CLINT ROSWELL DTH Asst. Sports Editor Charlie Scott, who closed out a sparkling career at UNC Saturday, signed a $500,000 three-year contract with the Washington Caps of the American Basketball Association Monday. The Ail-American from New York City announced the signing with Caps' President Earl Foreman at a press conference in the nation's capitol yesterday afternoon. The pact has made the 22 year-old p re-law major the highest paid professional athlete in the D.C. area. Scott was pleased with his situation, not only because of the money, but also his opportunity in pro ball. "I am looking forward to moving to Washington," said Scott. "It will give me an opportunity to continue my education. I plan to be a lawyer, and Washington is about the best place for that." Scott also mentioned that he had received "a very fair offer" from the rival National Basketball Association but decided to go to Washington because it was the better offer. He declined to name the NBA team involved. Coach Dean Smith was also Sign 4 fit u, 1 j 1 1 n IMall speaks continue to support man's present rate of pollution and unchecked population growth. 1 "The coming of this crisis is already evidenced by a decline in man's environment. There is no American city that is not less attractive, less livable than it was 10 years ago," Udall said. The former secretary blames the environment problem on the American tendency to lead what he termed the "fat life," a desire to gather more and more possessions. He said this desire resulted from the insecurity with which his generation emerged from the Depression and World War II. America must reverse this trend and set a goal of a "higher quality of life rather than more quantity of goods," Udall said. s Fact NLPJLH Charlie Scott happy for his standout performer. "I am pleased for Charles," he said. "It (the contract) will set him and his family well financially for life." Scott's signing may be a blessing for the struggling ABA also. Scott joins Rick Mount (Indiana) and Mike Maloy (Pittsburgh) in this year's talent bust. The ABA also may have the inside track on All-Americans Pete Maravih (Carolina) and Dan Issel (Kentucky). C7 J r - 4 D TH Staff Photo by John at symposium Udall said he looks to young people as the answer to the environmental problem. Udall called for such specific measures as liberalized abortion laws to help solve the problem of population growth. Although he is the father of six children, he adovcates the two-child family. "We not only need to - change our national goals but America's education system as well. The life sciences must come to the forefront," Udall said. "It is through the life sciences that we will learn to cope with the problems of environment." Udall specifically cited the development of a billion dollar supersonic jet transport as an example of misplaced priorities. He argued that present planes adequately serve the needs of Americans and the government subsidies should have been spent elsewhere. Speeches on the Carolina Symposium topic of Man and Environment will continue in Memorial Hall through Thursday night. Senator Edmund Muskie is scheduled to appear at 8 o'clock tonight. iymposi Cellman umS tress Conservation By PAM PURYEAR DTH Staff Writer David Brower and George Woodweil, speakers in Monday afternoon's Carolina Symposium, emphasized that man is exhausting and polluting his resources far too rapidly to keep up with population growth. President of the ecological organization Friends of the Earth, Brower set out "to put the environment crisis in perspective." In the program, he -said we are "running through our resources at 128 miles an hour. We should be hearing sirens." Brower estimated at the present rate of population growth, we have "only 10 years to make changes or we will not be here." "We cannot," he continued, "continue to double our population," Brower emphasized the United States cannot place the burden for population control on other countries. DTH Bv TODD COHEN and HARRY BRYAN One of the most controersial campaigns in University history closes here today as students go to the polls to determine the fate of the Daily Tar Heel and to elect student officers. A student referendum will decide whether the student newspaper is going to be supported by student fees. A YES vote on the referendum means the end of the required fee for the Tar Heel. A NO vote means the present system of support will be continued. The two races for the top student posts editor of the Tar Heel, and president of the Student Body are unusually cluttered with candidates. Both were further complicated by unexpected events Sunday night. Eight candidates are seeking the editorship of the Tar Heel Douglas Campbell, Bryan Cumming, Steve Enfield-Dennis Benfield, Tom Gooding, Bobby Nowell, and Andy Schorr-Rusty Carter. Four of them are running as co-candidates (Enfield-uen-field, Schorr-Carter). Five were endorsed by the Publications Board (Enfield-Benfield, Gooding, Schorr-Carter) and the rest are running as independents. On Sunday night, Enfield and Benfield circulated a policy statement endorsed by 94 individuals, most of them students. On Monday, a 'number of those individuals claimed they had not in fact endorsed the Enfield-Benfield tickets. The co-candidates retracted their list of names, saying they had made a "moral mistake" and a "political blunder." They also chose to remain in the campaign. An election which was going to be close enough without the new development now has an DTH Vote Text The text of today's : referendum on the Daily Tar Heel reads: "No : student shall be compelled to subscribe to or support financially any campus; newspaper. This shall : become effective Sept. 1, ; 1970." A YES vote on the; referendum means there will be no student-supported Tar Heel next fall. A NO vote means the present system of funding the Tar Heel will be continued. peakers "This is a country in which six per cent of the world's population uses 60 per cent of the world's resources. The problem starts right here in white affluent America. It boils down to one question, 'How dense can people be?' " This is not to say that Brower is a pessimist. On the contrary, he offered a list of positive steps to correct our ecological errors. We can join ecological organizations such as Friends of the Earth or Sierra Club, according to Brower, conduct research on the effects of any project which might upset the environment before the project is done or audit and make public the results of audits of completed projects. Finally, Brower said it is essential to become politically active. Environmental concerns must be injected into politics. Brower said, "Hitch conservation education to a wagon going somewhere. Make (Continued on Page 5) Kefereii dum even more indefinite fate. The presidential race received a similar blow when Can."

The endorsement list, which was placed under students' doors Sunday night, included a general campaign statement and was signed by 94 individuals. Enfield and Benfield said Monday they apologized for the list calling it a "moral error and political blunder." Benfield and Enfield are liable for violation, Attorney Mosteller. an honor code according " to General Robert Mosteller said his office would not bring charges at this point because the subject needs more study. He said, however, any student whose name appears on the list or any student who received the list, could bring charges against them for lying. In a statement, Enfield said, "Every person whose name appears on this list gave us their support at some time or another during the year.

The funding is.Mie has been the subject of a student legislature committee chaired by Bill Blue and another committee set up by Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson and chaired by Dr. John Adams, dean of the School of Journalism. Blue's committee concluded that funding must be continued. The Adams committee report will not be released until next week. Student Legislature also passed a resolution last week urging the defeat of the referendum. "I believe the Dailv Tar ield-Beufield .Chareet 1 aise JcjnaorsemeiMs H wish to retract, however, all the names on the list. We apologize to those offended by the use of their names. "We have received a great deal of pressure to withdraw," he said, "but because most of the people w hose names appear on that list support us, we can't let them down. We are not politicians and this was simply a political mistake. "It was a naive and stupid error which I am sorry for. I do not feel this one mistake should impugn our record of 11 years of journalistic experience and I hope people realize we're only human," Enfield concluded. Benfield said in his statement, "We were asked by members of a certain campus political party to withdraw our names from the ballot. We don't feel dropping out is the answer. Most of the names on that list have supported us all along and continue to support us. WTe have an obligation to them to remain in the race.

Benfield also said the situation "casts a bad light on the system of electing an editor.
