Police officers, newsmen, surprised citizens and one military policeman turned in reports of the UFO's four straight nights. The sightings were made in several central and south Georgia towns, with most of the descriptions being similar blinking, varied colored lights, usually hovering in one position but occasionally showing great bursts of speed. Two policemen said they had spotted a "white glowing object" with blue lights Security by Tom Sawyer Staff Writer In a move that may change many campus police policies, Ted Marvin was last week named director of the UNC Security Services. .He replaces Gerald G. Warren who resigned after a year and a half. The director of security services oversees operations in three divisions: police, parking and safety. Marvin, 31, was assistant security director at Duke. Soviet kills 3 in tomb MOSCOW - A Soviet man killed himself and two bystanders by exploding a homemade bomb inside the Lenin Mausoleum on Red Square, a Soviet source said Monday. The source said he did not know the motive of the attack or the identity of the man with the bomb. However, he described the man as insane. There was no damage to the red granite mausoleum next to the Kremlin wall which houses the embalmed body of V.I. Lenin, founder of the Soviet state who died in 1924. The attack Saturday was the first known violent incident to take place around the Kremlin since a gunman fired on a motorcade of Soviet leaders and cosmonauts at the Kremlin's Borovitsky Gate on January 22, 1969.

Two state troopers said they used binoculars to track the latest UFO near Manchester, Ga. They said the craft had a "blue and a white light on either side and something hanging underneath." Chester A. Tatum, publisher of the Sowcga Free Press in Camilla, said he photographed one of the UFO's Saturday night. He said it had a "ribbed type design with some sort of center down the middle." Tatum also said 'the craft had a luminous trail behind it. After looking at a picture taken with a Polaroid camera, Tatum said the object "doesn't look very high. I would say well under 1,000 feet in the air when I photographed it." Tatum's was the second picture taken head appointed He would not comment on Warren's policies, but stated his intentions to study the present situation here at UNC before he makes any policy changes. "Duke is a private institution. UNC is a state institution. The ground rules are different. I have got to learn the state system," Marvin said. "I want to get the feel for the campus, the town," he added. ''One of the primary duties 111 have here is to get to know the department heads, the student leaders, to talk with them, rap a little bit," he said. Marvin recognizes the interdepen3ence of the University police with the rest of the University community. ."I'm really looking forward to working with all facets of the University," he said. "We have got to tune ourselves with the academic community," he added. "The concept of a regimented, disciplined campus security system doesn't always gell with an academic community. I want people to get the feeling that security, a safe environment on campus, has to be a community project," Marvin said. "The best service we can give is to educate the academic community to protect itself.

Several reports of UFO's were made Thursday night in at least four south Georgia towns and a few more were sighted Friday and Saturday nights. Camilla police said they hadn't received any reports but police in nearby Newton did. However, Newton authorities said they believed local, residents had seen state highway patrol helicopters in the area and mistook them for UFO's. Military spokesmen at two main Air Force installations, Dobbins Air Force Base in, Marietta and Warner-Robins Air Base, said there would be no investigation of the sighting reports. "Most of the calls we've received have been from the press," said Lt. Col. Richard Davies, an information officer at they have a problem," he said. He indicated a desire to have some fulltime students as police officers. This plan is already in operation at Duke. "We have found students to be good . policemen because they can relate, communicate well with the environment," he said. "We would like to have a woman on the force. In some cases a woman is much better qualified to take a report than a man. Assault victims would often be more willing to talk to a woman than to a man," he said. Marvin plans to design a chart to record crimes reported to the campus police over a 1-year period. The chart would indicate the nature of the crime, how it is cleared, the property lost and recovered, the status of the victim, the protection at the time of the crime and the geographic area. This data, when used in conjunction with the time of the crime, will enable him to plan a more efficient protection system for the campus community. Perhaps one of the most visable changes in the police department made by out-going director Gerald Warren, was the change of hats by the campus police. Marvin will not say whether this is to be changed again. looking for a summer job opening, urges Geri Wilson, a placement counselor at the Career Planning and Placement (CPP) Office. Many jobs are filled by Thanksgiving, according to Wilson, CPP's only staff member who deals with students seeking summer employment. Students who want the best chance of getting summer jobs should either make an appointment with Mrs. Wilson at 211 Gardner Hall (hours 8:30 a.m. 4:30 pjii.) or attend a group meeting there. For the first time, CPP will conduct its group meetings on a regular basis. Instead of holding the sessions whenever the influx of employer listings is the heaviest as it did last year, CPP will hold them twice a week at 3:30 pjn.f designating Monday and Wednesday for every odd-numbered week beginning September 10, and Tuesday and Thursday for the others. The CPP office cannot guarantee students jobs, Wilson said, but it provides information about some of the job openings in the nation and abroad and sets up some interviews with employer representatives in Gardner 200. Wilson said, "One of the most common comments is, Gee, I didn't know you had this much information' or Gee, I wish I had known about this before if he's a senior." The word "Placement" throws many students off, she said. "Many people make the assumption that placement is for the senior year, but our office has much beyond that to offer." She sakl Founded February 23, 1833 n ji n o n Warner-Robins. "There have been two reports from police and one from a military policeman here but none from any private citizens. "These are the first reports of any UFO's I've seen in a number of years. The Air Force used to have a program to check up on this type of thing but they dropped it I seriously doubt there will be any investigation." Georgia Civil Defense Public Information Director Col. Douglas Embry said all the UFO reports have been logged "but we don't do anything with them or publicize them. They seem to have gotten enough publicity already." Embry said if there were no "logical explanation" for the sightings, and if there was a "danger to life and property," then the civil defense office would ask the governor to take any necessary steps to investigate the sightings. "It would be a state responsibility if there was danger to life and property," Embry said. "Then State Adjutant General Joel Paris would oversee any joint military-civilian operations. "But even after" all these reports, 1 don't know of any concerted investigation underway," he said, noting that the National Weather Service had offered explanations for many of the reported sightings. "One thing is, this type of situation just hasn't come up in Georgia before. We have never had any UFO sightings of this frequency before and I've lived here for 50 years." In Nashville, Tenn., a mother who reported seeing unidentified flying objects "speeding across the sky" said Monday she was disappointed that police , who also witnessed the UFO show wouldn't admit it. "I was really disappointed in what the police officers had to say," Mrs. Nancy Harrington said. "I guess they didn't want to be laughed out of their jobs" Nashville police officers who responded to a call by Mrs. Harrington's daughter, Cindy, said the flickering object they saw was probably a star, and was out of their jurisdiction anyway. "I saw what she was looking at, but it looked like a star that wasn't doing anything but flickering. It was really out of our jurisdiction," said Metro officer Robert Hullet. students of junior ranking and above have an advantage over other students on only a few jobs. Last year, 150 juniors, 140 graduate students, 101 freshmen, 92 sophomores, 75 seniors and frve alumni registered with CPP, then known as the Placement Service. "We're trying to get people into the summer program a lot earlier than their junior year," Wilson said. "If someone gets started in Iiis freshman year, he can gain a wealth of summer job information and plan to do something different each semester or build on each summer's experience toward a career goal." Last year CCP filed 300 employer listings, Wilson said, adding that jobs were "many times that number." CCP receives listings from employers from September until late April. Wilson said that last year, CCP had filed three employer listings by the end of September, 20 by the end of October, and 120 by the end of the semester. The greatest influx of listings hits CPP is November. "It picks up in November and December, and from then on that year," Wilson said. Interviews for summer jobs on campus are fewer than those for permanent jobs, she said. She added that most students who want summer jobs will have to apply by maiL Categories in which there is most demand for students include camps, parks and recreation, government, social service and business, she said. 1
