SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPI)-The cool-headed Apollo
13 astronauts Tuesday nursed
their patched-up spacecraft
toward an emergency
splashdown in the Pacific

electricity, water and their
oxygen after a ' mystery

earth.
"They are safe in the sense
that we have the situation

at noon EST.

(RCF) unanimously adopted
Monday a resolution in support
of Morehead Residence
college's efforts to gain use of
the Faculty Club for a
combined social, administrative

"We fully sponsor Morehead
Residence College in its efforts
to obtain the Faculty Club

encourage the Space Committee
to give the building to
Morehead," the resolution
stated.
Morehead Governor Steve
Saunders added his college is
receiving additional support
from other campus
organizations such as the
Committee on University
Residential Life (CURL),
Student Legislature, Residence
College Federation and the
Association of Women
Students (AWS).
"We are extremely pleased
at the tremendous support that
the entire student body has
demonstrated for our cause,"
Saunders noted. "This support
greatly strengthens our
position.".
The Space Committee,
according to Saunders, will
meet Monday for a final
decision on the matter.
In other actions of the
board, Caroline Fritz, a junior
from Nurses' dormitory, was
unanimously elected to suceed
Gwen Hightower as chairman.

Bomb hoaxes here have

seems to be getting worse.
A bomb threat involving
two classroom buildings,

Tuesday's threat brought
the total number of bomb

police during the last month to
six.

Tuesday's threat was made "by

A UNC student involved in
a towing incident Monday
afternoon has filed charges
against the tow truck driver,
according to the Chapel Hill
Magistrate's Office.
Jack Stout, a student in the
UNC Law School, issued a
warrant for the arrest of
Marshall Duncan, an employee
of Burch's Auto Service, on the
charge of assault with a deadly
weapon.
The warrant stemmed from
an incident in the Law School
parking lot Monday around 2
p.m. Campus police summoned
a tow truck, to move Stout's
car, parked in a supposedly
barricaded area. Stout
apparently saw the truck and

"We can't take a chance,"
Beaumont said. '"When you are
dealing with a nut, you never
know when he might actually
plant a bomb. We don't have
the right to bet your life that
he won't do it."
Beaumont said he thought a
student was responsible for the
latest threat, but he could not
be certain.
"In the past," Beaumont
noted, "any threat could
usually be traced to a student
with a test scheduled in that
building. With Tuesday's
threat, however, there were
only four or five classes going
on so we can't figure out any
reason."
Beaumont noted that
several years ago a rash of
bomb threats broke out and
were eventually traced to high
school pranksters.

Tuesday night they were to

"The owner of the car

said.
In the meantime, a crowd of

Stevenson.
Witnesses said Stout told
the police officer he would sue
if his car was moved. The
officer left to call another
policeman to "straighten the

Shearon, a bystander.
"The officer came back and
reported someone was on the

Beaumont explained that
with recording equipment on
the phone, he felt students
would be reluctant to call in
legitimate complaints or call in
asking for help.
The telephone company
does have tracing equipment,
according to Beaumont, and if
the threatening calls continue
to increase he said police may
be forced to install it.

Beaumont added. "And we

Charges
Chairman of UNC Young
Americans for Freedom (YAF)
Hal Leach denied charges of
YAF "ineffectiveness" Friday.
"The people who have
accused us of being
ineffective," he countered,
"are dissatisfied members who
wish us to adopt irresponsible
rhetoric and tactics."
Leach referred to a move by
YAF State Vice Chairinan
David Adcock to form a
second chapter on this campus.
Adcock said Thursday he
was taking the action "because
the present club is inactive."
"As far as I am concerned,
there is only one YAF chapter
on this campus," Leach noted.
"We have received no notice of
revocation of our charter from
the national headquarters.
"I do not believe this
attempt to by-pass our duly
constituted club will be
successful," Leach explained,
"for I don't think most
conservatives on this campus
want an opportunistic
leadership."
Leach further asserted
Adcock 's faction group was
not representative of the
majority of conservatives on
this campus.
'The organizational meeting
Adcock's group claims to have
held was, as far as I know,
unannounced. This smacks of
bedroom caucas not any
sincere effort to reach either
existing YAF members or even
'apathetic' conservatives,"
Leach said.

"It's my understanding the

no towing was done and no

Lock said the barricades had

Expansion of Law School

according to Lock.
He added someone must
