Mosteller o Help Lobbyists See Related Story Page 11 All studets interested in to Washington, D.C., going during the next two. weeks to talk to their congressmen should contact the Student Government offices for places to stay and appointments with representatives. Robert Mosteller, former student body attorney general, will handle arrangements for interested students. Students may reach Mosteller by calling 933-5201, the Student Government office number. Mosteller Wednesday urged &1I students to go to the nation's capitol to talk to their congressmen about the upcoming McGovern a m en 3 m en t.. a mi Cooper-Church amendment. These amendments will be extremely important in bringing the war to an end, said Mosteller, and students should impress upon their representatives the necessity of voting for them. A "continual peace lobby" ' is the goal of Mosteller, and the next two weeks are particularly important in showing congressmen the sincerity of students, he said. Student Government will find places to stay in Washington for those who don't have them and will call and make appointments with the students' representatives, said Mosteller. Students who call the Student Government office should leave their name, the number in their party, which congressmen they want to see and when they want to go. Mosteller also reminded students to write to B. Everett Jordan, senator from North Carolina because, he said, Jordan seems to be in favor of the anti-war amendments. ection To By Mike Parnell Staff Writer A letter containing two proposals allowing students to miss class in November to campaign for political candidates will be sent to all members of the faculty today. The letter is being sent by the Election '70 Committee which has been working this week to provide a means for students who wish to campaign, before the November elections to do so without academic penalty. An informal meeting of 20 professors, most of whom were members of the Association of University Professors, was held Wednesday in which the proposals of the Election '70 Committee were discussed. Art Berger, a graduate student in city planning and head of the committee, said the 20 professors "encouraged us to continue in our efforts" to obtain the policy. The letter asks for "proposals in order to make it possible for interested students T Sent J iff Senator UNC'C? By Jessica Hanchar Staff Writer Students at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the University of Greensboro were provided alternatives for completing the spring semester under resolutions approved by their faculty this week. At UNC-C, four alternatives were given. The student and '70 roposals Profs By to integrate their involvement in" the election process with their academic careers, without being penalized for their efforts." Hie two proposals for which the Election '70 group has already gained faculty support are: "(1) that the material presented in the 11 calendar days, containing seven class days, be supplementary and not include tests or final examinations," or "(2) that seven current vacation days be rescheduled as class days, and that the seven class days immediately prior to the November elections. be recessed to enable students to participate in the campaigns." After the letters have been answered by faculty members, the committee will submit their findings to Daniel Okun, chairman of the faculty. One of the two proposals, or a similar one containing faculty suggestions, would then be proposed to the general faculty ' at one of its fall meetings. Approximately 5,000 persons are expected for the demonstration which is sponsored by Gls United, an organization of anti-war Gls. and features actress Jane Fonda and Rennie Davis of the Chicago conspiracy trial. The protest against the war in Southeast Asia will begin at 1 p.m. with a mass rally in Rowan Street Park in Fayetteville. Miss Fonda, Davis, author and attorney Mark Lane and anti-war Gls will speak at this rally. The demonstrators will converge on Fort Bragg, home of the Gls United organization, at 3 p.m. Davis and Miss - r V ' f r ' " ) ., A X (Hi ""Ste, Staff Vhoto by John Gellman Edward Kennedy speaks with students in Washington UNC-G Give Amnesty Faculties Offer professor can arrange for the student to either complete the course in the normal way, accept an incomplete, take the existing grade he has in the course or exercise a pass-no credit option. At UNC-G, the faculty council approved three options in addition to completing the course as usual. A student can take his existing grade, an incomplete or can complete Letter .If the faculty passes a resolution, or expresses its support for some resolution allowing students to campaign, the Election 70 Committee will make formal proposals to the Committee on Instructional Personnel which is responsible for making changes in the school calendar. "We will also request that a permanent change be made in the calendar to permit students to participate in elections," said Berger. Student Body President Tommy Bello commented on the work done by the committee: "Very possibly this operation could be one of the most productive this University has ever conducted." Alan Gump, one of the coordinators of the committee, reminded students the group is "continuing work on our two other phases of activity, the Orange County commissioner's election June 2 and the gathering of information for the summer and fall election of 1970." Fonda will lead a demonstration there while protestors speak individually with Gls and trainees at the base. From 5 p.m. until evening the crowd will gather in Rowan Street Park for a rock concert and a discussion of the day's activities. The purpose of the demonstration is "to point up the civilian support that exists for the active duty Gls in their struggle against the war in Southeast Asia and their fight for the constitutional rights arbitrarily denied them by the military'," according to a flyer distributed by the Chapel Hill organization V Several Options the course on pass-not pass. A board of appeals was established by the faculty. The faculty at N.C, State University met at 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon. At press time, they still had not decided on any amnesty options. The amnesty agreements are similar to the one passed by the Chapel Hill faculty last week. Faculty members at UNC-C also agreed to consider volunteering to stay on campus one week beyond the end of the semester without pay to help students complete the work. The amnesty actions stemmed from requests by the students that some optional methods be made available to students who wish to protest the war in Southeast Asia. V-s Blood March Set To day To Protest War Deaths A "Blood March" will be held Thursday morning for students to donate blood in a symbolic protest against "the blood and lives lost in President Nixon's war." The march, sponsored by Joe Paget and Sam Dixon, will depart from Ehringhaus Field Thursday at 9:30 a.m. enroute to Fuller Presbyterian Church at ' the corner of East Main Street and Alston Avenue in Durham where blood donations will be accepted.

The students at Greensboro are also participating in the rally at Fayetteville Saturday. Some students had breadfast with the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce Wednesday and "contacted leading individuals in the community that way," according to Melonie Bassett, a member of Concerned Students for Peaceful Action. The students at N.C. State University axe holding a continual teach-in on the war. Tuesday night they staged a sleep-in against the war in front of the library.

Bob Friedman, area coordinator for civilian support of the Fori Bragg protest, urged students to attend the rally to how the Gls they are supporting the movement. "At this stage, the Gls are perhaps the most important segment of the white movement, and certainly the anti-war movement." said Friedman, "if anybody can stop the war. it's the guys who have to fight it.

The Chapel Hill group, led by UNC Student Body President Tom Bello and Law School professor Daniel Tollit.t; conferred-with Dr. Heard for about 45 minutes Tuesday afternoon. Bello began the discussion with a short statement voicing concern about the lack of communication between students and government officials. Graduate student Skip McGaughey then explained some reasons for student protest. "Students are becoming more educated," he said, "and what they are being taught is not part of reality. Students are beginning to say the system is not a good system." McGaughey said the current protests are indicative of a greater discontent. "Cambodia and Kent State are just focal points of the protest," he said. "Inflation, race and people who have been economically and culturally deprived are also reasons for the protest." Bello agreed with McGaughey and said it was time national interest was turned from Vietnam to the domestic problems faced by the United States. Turning to the problem of communication between students and national leaders, Bello referred to current campus unrest across the country. "It's unfortunate that IrCDF Student Anti-w ar A JL 11 (LPlULIllUC ii By Bob Chapman Staff Writer Even though school will be ending soon, student efforts against the war in Vietnam will continue. Student Body President Tommy Bello S3id that door-to-door canvassing will continue throughout the summer. Some students, he said, will be organizing political campaigns in their home counties to try to bring about an end to the war. Saturday, a group of students will travel to Ft.
