' The slay in gs Thursday night bore the hint of reprisal. They followed by one night a Viet Cong attack on Takeo in which the province governor's home was slightly damaged by mortar fire. The killings took place at the Takeo school complex, an area which had been converted into an army base and where an estimated 150 Vietnamese civilians were held. "We shot them because they were Viet Cong," one of the Cambodian soldiers who participated in the killings told a reporter. S.

Hoffmann Grants Delay In Seale Trial CHICAGO (UPI)-The trial of Black Panther National Chairman Bobby Seale on charges of conspiring to incite riots during the 1968 Democratic National Convention was postponed by U.S. District Court Judge Julius J. Hoffman Friday until at least June 8. Hoffman granted a government request for a delay because Seale is facing trial in Connecticut on a charge of conspiring to murder a fellow Panther. Seale had been scheduled to go on trial on the conspiracy charge here next Thursday. Seale was one of the "Chicago Eight" placed on trial in Chicago last September on charge of conspiring to incite the convention riots. He demanded the right to act as his own attorney after Hoffman refused to postpone the trial because Seale's chief attorney, Charles R. Garry of San Francisco, was ill.

The third case is still pending. The exams were apparently taken from the student attorney general's office several weeks ago. Counsel for the defense claimed he could not present an adequate defense if the four exams were not presented in court. The prosecution said it was prepared to bring in proctors who had seen the exam. The defendent objected, saying the proctors would give only subjective testimony.

Note This is the third in a series of articles on a study recently made by ECOS on areas of environmental concern in North Carolina. By Mark Perryman . Staff Writer ECOS members are concerned about the fate of Mason Farm, a large tract of undeveloped, University-owned land east of Chapel Hill beside Finley Golf Course. A recent ECOS study discovered there have been numerous proposals to develop the farm which is now composed of open fields, Charge The prosecutor insisted he had enough evidence through statements of witnesses to show similarities between the exam papers of the four students. Counsel for the defendent said, "It is of course important if the defendent committed an offense, but he has a greater right, along with other students, to a fair and just trial under due process of law. The defendent must have the right to be presented With the evidence against him. Without the quizzes, he would not be able to present an adequate defense. Defense counsel said the four accused were fraternity brothers, had used the same notes and studied together the night before the exam. He said the four possessed common knowledge. The prosecution said, "We understand the statements from the exam proctors will be subjective rather than objective. They will be truthful -and tell, as well as they remember, what was on the exam paper. We realize the defense will be hindered, but the court must look at the larger situation. We will try to prove gross similarities between the tests." The court chairman said, "We feel there has been a breach of the right to a fair trial. Due to the subjective nature of the essay quizzes and because the proctors have not seen the exams for a month, we have voted to terminate the case. tm Designed and made to your order engagement rings wedding bands n U Jewelry 137 E.

A number of students have based theses on studies made in the area. Little has been done to preserve Mason Farm. In 1966 botany Professor C. Ritchie Bell set aside a small area as a botanical garden. Recently, a group, of professors petitioned the University to conserve the area. Vice Chancellor Joseph Eagles answered the petitioners, "In view of the location of the property and the difficulty the University has in finding available property close to the campus," the University could not assure, the preservation of the farm's natural state. The ECOS survey found that Mason Farm has been used for a dumping ground for waste radioisotopes. Just above the farm, a sewage plant empties its effluents into Morgan Creek. However, the study cited the greatest danger to the farm as land development.

Mason Farm was suggested as a site for a Durham-Chapel Hill coliseum by the N.C. Triangle Planning Commission. The study found that the New Hope Dam Project is adjacent to Mason Farm and will cause periodic flooding of the low lands. In a letter, Vice Chancellor Eagles said the Army Corps of Engineers has indicated that this flooding could be expected to occur only "once or twice every one hundred years." Because it is the only sizeable inland area owned by the University, the farm's educational values are enormous, ECOS members believe, and it could be invaluable in the study of ecology. However, the greatest benefit Mason Farm could serve, according to ECOS, is as valuable open space if controlled, balanced development was planned. ..iO I'iiiL. AT V . I I'i JOEnGnADOATE oegalia A V in By He nry Hir.k'e Staff Writer The veto of the Allen Hirsch bill on student courts by Student Body President Tom Bello delayed an all-out confrontation with the administration and Board of Trustees. The fight to insure the autonomy of the student courts, however, has not been abandoned. Many legislators think the bill, which puts pressure on the University to end the trial of students in non-student courts such as the disruptions Hearing Committee, was vetoed because Bello wanted to protect his bargaining position in his upcoming meeting with a subcommittee of the trustees. Student Body Vice President Bill Blue also indicated "bargaining power" consideration was the reason for the veto. "If the bill .were passed," Blue said, "it would undermine Tom's bargaining power." He added, "The Trustees are going to meet this summer to review the Disruptions Policy and other legal policies." Bello said Friday he "agreed with the intention of the bill," but cited "practical" reasons for his veto of it. Article I of the bill calls for ciruNA " cs Q"T ,TVn O .TV!

The MOAU is being sponsored by the YM-YWCA CIRUNA Committee. It will take place during the 1970-71 academic year and be similar to a model United Nations. Delegations from schools around the country representing various African countries will participate in a three-day assembly. CIRUNA (Council on International Relations and United Nations Affairs) is also planning seminars and discussions to develop a deeper understanding of African problems, according to members. CIRUNA also hopes to initiate an independent studies course on the MOAU within the political science department, a spokesman reported Friday. All students or faculty interested in either the MOAU or the course are requested attend the Wednesday meeting. IWhd 3DEHT ill!

Article II states if the University "takes no action to affirm student judiciary authority then all funds to the Attorney General, his staff and the student courts shall be immediately frozen." Bello listed the unwillingness of the courts to go along with Article II as one of his main reasons for vetoing the bill. "The Chairman of the Men's and Women's Honor Courts had said they would not stop their courts if the bill was signed," he said. Bello also said the fact the bill was passed in the last session of last year's Student Legislature was another reason for his vetoing the bill. "Hopefully," he said, "the new legislature will bedn l"?- 1 1 jtfCj 5 o W XJ'Z t- tlCitvCtS rf!

"But time is very important in this matter." Aers added, "because the administration is trying students now for violation of the Disruptions Policy." If Ayers and other proponents do decide the bill is the best way to strengthen the student courts and end the trials by the Hearing Committee, it will probably be at least two weeks before the bill can reach the floor.
