Carmichael Auditorium as
expected, according to anti-war
festival director Fred Thomas.
Hardin had agreed to come
to Carolina to participate in
the festival last week.
His booking agent informed

Brig. Gen. Hugh Hester,
U.S. Army (Ret.), will
highlight the afternoon session
of the anti-war festival today at
Ehringhaus field.
Hester, long an outspoken
and articulate dissenter of
American foreign policy, was
contracted by the
Duke-Durham Moratorium
Committee and is their
contribution to the anti-war
festival this week-end.
Hester will speak at 3:30
p.m. today.
He will speak at Page
Auditorium at Duke University
Monday at 7 p.m. The speech
is sponsored by the
Duke-Durham Moratorium
Committee.
The Duke committee was
instrumental in organizing the
festival this week-end.
"I think the festival will
attract about 1,000 from Duke
over the entire week-end,"
Jerry Smith, a member of the
steering committee from Duke,"
said Saturday.
Smith said his committee
and Fred Thomas, the UNC
coordinator, met together
several times during the past
two weeks planning the
festival.
"We're planning for the
Fayetteville G.I. March in
May," Ed Sands, another
member of the Duke steering
committee, said. "We hope
people will listen to the music
and speakers this weekend and
realize the importance of this
movement."
The Duke-Durham
committee is trying to set up a
student speaker program to
travel to various local civic and
church groups in an effort to
bring a better understanding
between students and adults on
questions facing people at this
time. .
"Not necessarily just the
war," Sands said, 'but also the
draft and drugs and how we
feel about them and find out
how the adults feel about
them."
A 1916 graduate of UNC,
Hester has spent 35 years in
the army, serving in both
World Wars.
Hester, 75, holds the Silver
Star, the U.S. Distinguished
Medal of Honor, the French
Croix de Guerre and was
elected to the French Legion
of Honor.
He has written articles for
The Nation and the New
Republic and co-authored the
book, On The Brink. He also
has had several of his articles
inserted in the Congressional
Record.
Hester has been opposed to
the Vietnam W7ar since the
1954 Geneva Accord. , He has
called for an immediate and
unconditional withdrawal.
Tonight's closing session of
the festival features Ronnie
Davis, a defendant in the
Chicago Conspiracy trials and a
founder of the Students for a
Democratic Society.

political consequence of this
repression for black people is a
race war."
i Little further said the U.S.
has a "racist, capitalistic
government" and is the "most
evil country the world has ever
known.
4 A thorough
house-cleaning is needed in this
country, Little said, and added
it was up to the people at the
rally to realize that violence is
necessary.
Workshops were then held,
followed by more music.
Two of the main attractions
were unable to attend the
festival yesterday. The Allman
Brothers canceled their
appearance Friday and David
Hawk, a representative of the
National Moratorium
Committee, missed his plane
Saturday morning.
Hawk arrived Saturday
night and will speak at
Ehringhaus field this
afternoon.
There were no incidents at
the rally, according to
organizers and police.
- Chapel Hill Police Chief W.
D. Blake said none of his men
would interfere with the rally
"unless help is called for."
The desk sergeant of the
Campus Police, asked if any
special provisions had been
made for the rally, said "We're
acting like it's not even here."
Fred Thomas, an organizer
of the festival, said everything
"is going well." Responding to
a'question about the size of the
crowd, Thomas said, "There is
room for more but the crowd
is good. Tomorrow's events
will draw more people."

today include retired General
Hugh Hester and Rennie Davis,
a member of the Chicago
Eight.

Today
The UNC Students for a
Democratic Society and the
North Carolina Moratorium
Committee disagreed Saturday
on whether the SDS would be
allowed to have a speaker at
the anti-war festival this
wreekend.
However, as the afternoon
session of the festival ended
yesterday, the SDS said they
were unofficially informed
they would be allowed to have
a speaker sometime between 1
p.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Debbie Russell,
interorganizational secretary of
the National SDS, will be the
unofficial speaker for the SDS.
She is from Florida State
University in Tallahassee, Fla.
Ron Mendel, a graduate
student in history and an SDS
member, said the SDS had
been denied a speaker earlier
this week because if one was
allowed to speak, other groups
would have to be given time
also.
Mendel said the festival
organizers were denying them
time on the stage because the
organizers disagreed with SDS
politics.
The SDS was offered a
mobile speaker unit Saturday
but they already had their own
speaker system by that time.

Before Their Appearances At Carmichael Last Night

Schoolers
armed Of Disillusion
By Lou Bonds
Staff Writer
"You will be somewhat
disillusioned when you get
here."
This is what Assistant Dean
of Admissions Hayden
Ren wick told his
predominantly black audience
of 92 high school juniors last
night.
Ren wick spoke to the
students as part of Project
Uplift's program to recruit
minority group members for
college.
He told the students that
although they would at first be
frustrated they would soon
meet with rewards for their
efforts.
"Getting in college is the
main thing you have to worry
about right now," Renwick
said.
After developing a quick
repport with his audience,
Renwick dealt straightforward
ly
on the
"Last
issue ot enrollment.
year 160 black
students applied at Carolina,"
he said. "We accepted 142, but
only 42 actually came to the
school."
Renwick cited the primary
reason for the low number of
minority group enrollment as
Scholastic Achievement Tests
(SAT).
"Carolina's minimum
requirement on SAT is 800.
This year, though, we are
allowed to accept 50 students
whose scores are below that
number."
According to Renwick,
these 50 will be labeled as
"high risk", but no other
special consideration will be
given once they are enrolled.
Although he expressed
dissent with the SAT
requirement, the former UNC
graduate added that the scores
represented 20 per cent of
consideration given
applications.
to
He said that 60 per cent of
the emphasis was given to high
school grades with remaining
consideration based on class
ranking and general
performance.
Renwick also mentioned a
drive to enroll black student
at UNC is picking up headway.
"Black awarenness is a new
and very important thing," he
said. "Blacks no longer want to
be called Afro-Saxon, Uncle
Tom, or Super Nigger.
"Through education these
labels will eventually be
dropped."
According to Renwick, the
black recruitment drive is
seeking a varied political stance
in applicants.
"We need the militants'and
the not-so-militant student,"
he commented. "We need
people like Stokely
Carmichael, Kelly Alexander,
Sr., and Rap Brown to have alt
views expressed."

ISROTC students practice operations
By Bob Chapman
Staff Writer
Sonarman has located a
submarine on the screen before
him! Condition one AS!
Everyone at battle stations.
It could happen in a cruiser
in the mid-Atlantic with
thousands of miles of ocean
around. Or it could be the
inside of a destroyer in the
South Pacific But in fact this
"battleship" is located in the
basement of the Naval Armory
on the UNC campus.
Several rooms of the armory
basement simulate the heart of
an anti-submarine warfare
(ASW) force with a sonar
room, a bridge (command unit
of a ship) and a plotting room.
The Attack Teacher is 'being
manned by sophomore
midshipmen of the UNC
NROTC unit.
The Attack Teacher, which
has been in the armory since
the early 1950's, is designed to
show the future naval officers
how actual ASW procedures
are carried out. Team work and
coordination among the
operation teams is constantly
stressed.
Formerly used as a part of
the Naval Science 21 course,
the Attack Teacher has been
used this year by the
sophomore class for lab
sessions during the winter.
Stressing team work, Lt.
Louis D. Milioti, sophomore
instructor, explained that in
the first session the
midshipmen found it difficult
to track the submarine even
when it kept a straight course.
"After 40 minutes of the
first session," he said, "they
still could not get on top of
it."
He added that after four
weeks, the middies were able
to track a sub using evasive
maneuvers in about half that
time.
Another major lesson of the
Attack Teacher, the use of
anti-submarine warfare, is very
important for today's Navy,
Milioti pointed out. He said
Russia now has over 500
submarines which make up a
sizable part of their navy.
"Sonar to bridge. We've
found a submarine. Bearing
two-seven-three degrees; range
2,600 yards," the sonar officer
reports from information the
sonarman reads on his screen.
The report goes by phone to
the bridge where the officer of
the deck commands the ship to
be turned toward the sub.
Everyone is busy trying to
pinpoint the sub's exact
location, speed and course.
Every 30 seconds the sonar
officer reports bearing and
range of the submarine, while
another midshipman uses
dead -reckoning tracking to
trace the submarine's course. A
man at a blackboard charts the
information from sonar to
calculate the speed of the
enemy submarine.
"I recommend we turn 40
degrees to port," the
midshipman at the tracking
board says to the officers of
the deck. The order is passed
and the middie at the helm
turns the wheel to the left.
"Increase speed to 25
knots," the officer of the deck
called out. "We don't want to
lose him."
As more information comes
to the bridge from the sonar
room, the man charting the
two courses realizes that the
sub is beginning to use evasive
maneuvers to shake off her
pursuer.
"Turn 30 degrees to
starboard and slow down to 20
knots." After several more
unsuccessful attempts to lose
the attacker, the submarine
comes closer within range of
the destroyer.
S u d d e nly the sonarm2
hears a loud swirling buzz.
"Sonar to bridge torpedo
attack!"
The submarine has decided
to fight back.
Then the earphones of th
sonarman go silent. Looking at
the screen, the midshipman
gives a puzzled look.
"He's disappeared! That's
impossible," he exclaimed.
Then realizing that the
submarine has dived below a
layer of cold water, the sonar
reports that contact has been
lost. Abruptly, the small blip
representing the sub reappears
on the screen. The range and
bearing are relayed to the
bridge.
"We're closing in fast,"
someone shouts.
The man at the helm is
commanded to slow the ship
down to 10 knots.
"Range one-five-zero yards
. . . 100 yards ... 75 yards . . .
50 j ards . . . We're right on top
of him!"
The word is passed down to
release the depth charges and a
bell is rung. Within the span of
20 minutes, the midshipmen
have tracked down the enemy
submarine and have carried out
a successful attack.
After the lights an; switched
on, James A. Cater, a chief
pettv officer, shows the d
what the actual courses of the
destroyer and submarine were.
"Way to go. fellows," he
said. 'That was a great job of
team work."
