ISC presents movie on youth in Cuba The International Student Center " (ISC) will present a movie about the youth of Cuba, Companeras and Companeros, Thursday at 8 p.m. in 111 Murphey Hall. The hour-and-a-half color documentary was filmed by an American camera crew who lived with the Cuban youths for five months, sharing their experiences. Spanish narration with English subtitles accompanies the film. A 25-cents admission charge will help cover the cost of the documentary'- Larry McBennett, chairman of the ISC Speakers and Colloquia Committee, said the film is being presented to spread knowledge about a country which is part of a particularly pertinent topic on campus. 'The film attempts to show the better side of what is going on inside Cuba without glossing over the difficulties," McBennett said. "It captures the revolutionary' spirit of the young people and presents viewpoints not normally seen on campus." In addition to showing the young Cubans at work, the documentary shows them in frank and open discussions, as the young people attempt to explain their revolutionary consciousness their third world consciousness, their theories on guerrilla warfare and their faith and commitment toward building the "New Man" as visualized by Che Gueverra. Informational packet available to women A miscellaneous information packet for all senior women will be available beginning today. Packets will be delivered to all residence halls and sorority houses. Senior women living off campus can pick up a packet at a booth in front of the undergraduate library from 1 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and Wednesday. They are also available at the Dean of Women's Office, Placement Office, YWCA and the Guidance and Testing Center Library in 01 3 Peabody. Prepared by women in various counseling services of the University, the packet contains a multitude of facts on jobs, adjusting to a new city and getting scholarship for graduage study. The packet is a reference directory on where to go on campus for information and aid. For example, the Placement Service has a scholarship file for graduate study and Wilson Library's collection contains Chamber of Commerce addresses, catalogues for universities and telephone directories. - r The packet also contains a list of beginning jobs for selected majors and an estimate of beginning salaries as well as questions which can help determine job possibilities.

Tickets for the party at the Tin Can and door prizes will be sold during the next two weeks in individual dorms and in sorority and fraternity houses. Tickets cost 25 cents. The party will begin at $ p.m. Dec. 10. Two music groups will play at the Tin African liberationist set for campus speech tonight by Anne Lafferty Staff Writer I.B. Tabata, a well-known leader of the African Liberation Movement, will speak tonight in Gerrard Hall. A reception in the Union with the Black Student Movement will follow his speech. Tabata's two-day visit will aJso include an address to Political Science 95A in Memorial Hall at noon on Wednesday, an hour before regular class time. Tabata has worked for the rights of black South Africans for more than 30 years. A co-founder of the Non-European Unity Movement, Tabata was elected president of the newly-formed African People's Democratic Union of Southern Africa (APDUSA) in 1961. Two years later he fled South Africa to avoid arrest under the "Ninety-Days Detention Act" and went to Lusaka, Zambia establish foreign headquarters for ! the Unity Movement, APDUSA and other organizations. The organizations and the African Liberation Movement in which Tabata is involved are the result of the policy of apartheid or separation of w races Stedeet registration 99 continues this week Students planning to attend classes spring semester must preregister this week. ; Preregistration will continue through Friday. Students must leave their approval forms in the Registration Office ; in 01 Hanes Hall. Class tickets will be pulled at a later date according to class seniority. Within each class tickets will be given on a "first-come" basis. Freshmen register by appointment in their adviser's office by Dec. 18. They are asked to bring their "planned academic program." Sophomore registration ended Nov. 24. Students who have a major must see their departmental adviser, get - an approval form and take it to Hanes Hall for processing. More than 50 new freshman seminars will be offered this spring. Among the new titles are "Classical Models of Power and Its Abuse," " The Negro in American Theatre," "Lovers of the World and Wrestlers with God," and "Man's World: Reap or Rape?" Full course credit (three hours) is awarded for each seminar. They serve as college electives in the General College curriculum. The seminars may be taken either on a regular grade or pass-fail basis. Two new courses in anthropology department will be taught by visiting professors spring semester only. Anthropology 142 is titled "Peasant Cultures and Modern Development in Eastern and Central Europe." The other special course (Anthropology 151) is titled the "Entrance of Man to the New World." promulgated by the government of South Africa. According to Miss Ann Dunbar of the history department, non-whites in South Africa, who number 13 million out of a total population of 16 -million, have practically no civil rights. Besides being discriminated against in jobs and schools, they are forced to live in less than 13 per cent of the land area in South Africa and must carry a identification pass when in white areas. "While this process of exclusion has been going on since the arrival of the first Dutch settlers in 1652," Miss Dunbar said, "it has been accentuated since 1948 when the National Party of the Afrikaners (those Europeans descended from the Dutch settlers) came into power." It is the National Party that has promoted the policy of creating Bantustans or non-white national areas, which will in theory permit both apartheid and black nationalism to exist. However, at present, the Bantustans have not served to improve the condition of non-white South Africans. Not only are they "too small and too undeveloped to support the African population," explained Miss Dunbar, but "their governments are under the strict tutelage and surveillance of the Republic of South Africa's white government. "Civil rights simply do not operate for the non-whites," she added. Tabata's speech at 8 p.m. will deal with "the tragedy of his country and the prospects of the liberation struggle," she said. The YM-YWCA, Afro-American Studies Department, Political Science 95A and the Richardson Foundation are sponsoring his visit. Can. One will be a square dancing band and another a regular dance band. A drawing for the door prize will be held after the party. Two of the prizes are a stereo and a TV set, donated by IFC. At least 30 other prizes have been donated by Chapel HtU merchants. Winners do not have to be present at the party to win. Movies will be shown at the Tin Can after the door prize drawing. AH proceeds from the fund-raising will go to needy students who graduated from the Upward Bound program and are freshmen 3t UNC. "Students in Upward Bound spend eight weeks in the summer at UNC," said Chris Sawyer, Upward Bound coordinator for IFC. 'They can't earn money during the summer for their freshman year, so most of these students are working during the school year." "Working presents a problem," he continued. "Many of them are either flunking or dropping out." This is the first year IFC-Panhellenic have sponsored the fund. They plan to make this a permanent joint project. The campus has been divided into nine groups. Each group includes three fraternities and one sorority. Booths will be set up in the individual dormitory lobbies. Fraternity and sorority members may not solicit door-to-door in the dorms, but., dorm presidents may, Sawyer pointed out. All UNC fraternities and sororities are cooperating in the project. .

We think it's a remarkable innovation. But an electric car it's not. As a garden tractor for home use, Elec-Trak T can take advantage of characteristics that would be distinct disadvantages in an electric car. The availability of fuel is no problem for Elec-Trak. It's designed tor limited use near electrified structures, making overnight recharging possible. The heavy weight of the battery, which would slow down a car, means greater applied traction for Elec-Trak. Because Elec-Trak must travel at slow speeds to do its jobs, there are no aerodynamic energy losses to take into consideration. Still, one might expect Elec-Trak to be the forerunner of a pollution free automobile. Perhaps it is. But there are many crucial problems left to be solved. The most important one, of course, is the development of a substantially better electric battery. Any car built today would be severely limited in range and performance, -and probably prohibitively expensive. Ceneral Electric is making progress on new batteries, but there's a long way yet to go. We've experimented with zinc air batteries. Sodium-sulfur batteries. Silver-zinc batteries. Lithium halogen batteries. And others. There are problems with all of them. Problems of life-span, cost, practicality. Despite the problems, Ceneral Electric scientists and engineers are working for the breakthrough that will make electric cars possible. Maybe the breakthrough is closer than we think. But we'll continue to work and leave the predictions to someone else. Why are we running this ad? We're running this ad, and oth ars like it, to tell you the things General Electric is doing to solve the problems of man and his environment today. The problems concern us because they concern you. We're a business and you are potential customers and employees. But there's another, more important reason. These problems will affect the future of this country and this planet. We have a stake in that future. As businessmen. And, simply, as people. We invite your comments. Please write to General Electric, 570 Lexington Ave., New York N Y 10022. ' ' GENERAL ELECTRIC
