1 ri V Vol. 82, No. 131 When you're in junior high school, it's a big deal to come to Chapel Hill with your North Carolina history class. But, boy, it sure gets hot, walking from the bus to the Planetarium and all Tl V fh (TTJ !1 ram by Bill Welch Staff Writer Students upset over the history department decision not to renew instructor Jerry C. Cashion's contract have taken their complaints to Gov. James Holshouser. John P. Kennedy Jr., secretary of the U NC system said Thursday he received a call recently from someone on Gov. Holshouser's staff inquiringabout Cashion's dismissal. The spokesman,-according to Kennedy, said a group of irate students visited the Aaroi Mils 714 CINCINNATI (UPI) Hank Aaron hit his 714th career home run, tying Babe Ruth's record, Thursday afternoon in Riverfront Stadium here. Aaron's record-tying blow came on a 3 and 1 pitch off Reds' right-hander Jack Billingham, and jack-rabbiied the Braves into a 3-0 lead. The home run, which cleared the inner fence of the ball park slightly to the left of the 375-foot marker, came with such startling suddenness that it caught the crowd of more than 51,000. including Vice President Gerald Ford, by surprise. When the impact of what had happened hit them, the crowd stood up and gave the Braves' 40-year-old superstar a rousing ovation. All the Braves' players came running from the dugout to greet and congratulate Aaron as he crossed home plate. Aaron's dramatic blow came at 2:40 p.m. EDT, only 10 minutes after Ford had made the ceremonial opening toss to Reds' catcher Johnny Bench. Since the ball was not hit into the stands but rather over a wall, it was retrieved by a groundskeeper, who gave it to second base umpire Tom McSherry. The umpire trotted all the way in and handed it to Aaron, who came out of the . Braves' dugout to accept it amid even greater cheers. Then an unusual thing happened at Riverfront Stadium, unusual in the sense that major league games rarely are halted for any length of time so that speeches and presentations can be made. Greer elites food! service by Frank Griffin Staff Writer Robert Greer, director of food service for Servomation at UNC, said Thursday the food service "is a hell of a lot better now" than when he first came to UNC in 1971. Greer said this has been a difficult year because of the rise in food costs and added that the coming year will not be easy. Using 1972-73 as base year, Greer said food costs for 1974-75 will be a minimum of 35 per cent higher.

"He was just calling to find out what the University's position was," Kennedy said. He added that the governor's representative wanted to know the reason the history department did not renew Cashion's contract. Kennedy said he told the representative thejdecision was made in a department vote, and that no specific reason was given."! told them that it would be risky for me to will have to be passed on in part to the customer, he said. Greer said about 73 per cent of their total income (projected $970,000 for this year) goes to pay food and labor costs, while 12-15 per cent goes to direct costs such as rent, utilities and incidental expenses. Servomation operates on a limited profit contract. Any profit over three per cent of its total budget is divided between Servomation and the University. Greer said if they have the dollars available, they will invest them in improving food quality; this was done last students will be admitted free of charge.

Cashion could not be reached Thursday for comment on the governor's interest in his case. An instructor of North Carolina history, Cashion was notified March 8 that his contract would not be renewed and that he would not be hired to fill a vacant position as assistant professor. Kennedy said he had been told there were more than 30 applications for the position, but that none had been hired. - The governor's spokesman gave no indication that any action would be taken by that office, Kennedy said. - Dr. George V. Taylor, chairman of the history department, said Thursday he would make no comment on the governor's interest and inquiry. He also refused to comment when asked if the governor's office had contacted him personally. "In accordance with the policy of the history department, I would have to say 'no comment'," Taylor said. Students have been circulating petitions calling for the history department to reinstate Cashion since it was first made public he was not being rehired. Cashion, who is known as "Pop" by many of his students, has been nominated for the Tanner Award for excellence in teaching. Weather Clearing and cooler today, partly cloudy and cool tonight.

Greer said last year was a fairly good one but the rise in food costs is responsible for much of the increase in this year's income.

Inc. to operate the Union Snack Bar. After passing the resolution, the board met for 45 minutes with John Temple, assistant vice chancellor of business. The decision on the contract rests ultimately with the UNC Board of Trustees. Servomation-Mathias is a Baltimore based institutional food supply firm which operates the Pine Room. Chase Cafeteria and the Snack Bar on campus. Its three-year contract withthe University expires May31. The resolution said, in part: "It has repeatedly come to the attention of the . . . board . . . that Servomation-Mathias is... serving poor quality food, preparing the food inadequately, providing poor customer service and maintaining an unattractive dining environment " Temple said the administration plans to make a decision on whether to renew the contract within the next 10 days. "We have not been satisifed with the performance of Servomation as far as food service is concerned," Temple said. He added the University is running short on time and said the University must insure some kind of food service for the summer session. He listed three options the University has they could either renew the contract with Servomation, contract with some other food service or hire a food manager and operate the facilities themselves. Rad Kivette, who authored the resolution, asked Temple "Why should we give them (Servomation) another chance when they've B Dooley brings bad the 'old ways' by Elliott Warnock Sports Editor When the 1973 football season ended, a weary Bill Dooley told the world his North Carolina football teams would be going back to the "old ways." He wasn't kidding. The annual Blue-White game will be played at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Kenan Stadium, this time with a little extra attraction. Former UNC star quarterbacks Nick Vidnovic and Paul Miller will play in the game, and, for the first time ever, the offensive team will be playing against the defensive team, a system Dooley says "has been used very effectively by other schools." Finally getting its chance to prove the importance of defense, the unit will earn one point every time it stops an offensive drive, three points for each recovered fumble and three more points for each intercepted pass. With Vidnovic and Miller at the quarterback spot, the defense should have its owtlh ($20,000 per month); this year, however, the deficit will be 36.9 per cent ($14,741 per month). The Pine Room dropped 50 per cent second semester in Servomation's first year ($17,500 per month) while this year it will drop 24.4 per cent ($13,800 per month). The Union . Snack Bar dropped 18 per cent Servomation's first year ($6,200 per month) and will drop 17 per cent this year ($5,800 per month). The Pine Room serves between 2,000 and 2,500 customers per day, Greer said, although not all of these are full meal customers. Sixty-eight per cent of the Pine Room's total volume is meal plan sales and 32 per cent is cash. The Union Snack Bar serves 4,000-4,500 per day, while Chase serves about 1 ,000 per day with 75 per cent of its total volume coming from meal plans. Greer said the patterns show a much heavier load for dinner in Chase and a heavier load for the Union and Pine Room at lunch. Cash income in the Pine Room is actually larger this semester than last, Greer said. Greer said it took four or five years to get the quality management necessary for good food service lined up. He said he thinks the program is established well enough now that they can concentrate more on improving their product for the student. Greer said the problem with much of Servomation's criticism . is that students come here who aren't used to institutionalized service. "They expect it to better than Mom's home cooking, and it's not going to be." he said. i been here three years and hac not given us the kind of service they promised?" "Up until this year, they didn't hae a renovated Pine Room to work in." Icmplc replied. "This year, there was the price squeee." Although Seromation had budgeted for a six per cent increase in food costs, prices have actually risen by about 25 per cent. Student Body President Marcus Williams said. Union President Gary Phillips said. "I don't think you can find that een two per cent of the students eat at the snack bar except w hen they have to." "We haven't found anything to indicate "Dragon by tail' China emerging by Tom Lassiter Staff Writer Establishment of normal diplomatic relations between Peking and Washington in the early I950s would have prevented the "envenomed relationship" which existed until President Nixon's 1972 visit to China, former Foreign Service officer John Paton Davies Jr. said Tuesday night. Davies, who served in China and Russia during World War II, reported on the gathering strength of the Chinese Communists during that period and predicted their eventual victory over Chaing Kai-shek's Nationalist government. Davies spoke oh "China: A Dragon by the Tail," in Memorial Hall as part of the East Saturday collective hands full. Miller took the 1970 edition of the Tar Heels, along with Don McCauley. to the Peach Bowl and on to the Gator Bowl in 1971. Vidnovic was the spark of the 1972 team which flew an 1 1-1 record to the Sun Bowl and flew out with a one-point victory over Texas Tech. Billy Paschall and Chris Kupec. the two regular quarterbacks returning to next year's team, are playing with the .Carolina baseball team and will not take part in Saturday's game. All-ACC linebacker Jimmy DeRatt injured his hand in practice and is not expected to play. Carolina is expected to carry over the four-man secondary defense to next fall, but the game Saturday should only be a trial run for the veer and the 5-2, innovations Dooley still has doubts about. Tickets for the general public are priced at $2. University staff, faculty and children will be admitted for $1. Carolina students will be admitted free with an I.D. and athletic pass.

"What they do with it after they get it. we don't know." Both 'Icmplc and the board agreed that it would be difficult to write a clause into the new contract stipulating that the hamburgers be edible. The board suggested the alternative of having a !:st food chain service, such as McDonald's or Hardee's, operate the snack bar. Union Director Howard Hcnrv said such a set-up has been successful at the University of Cincinnati. The board also proposed that vending machines be installed lor use during the hours when the snack bar is closed. Asian Symposium. ; During the McCarthy investigations.; Davies was the subjecr of several ' investigations stemming from allegations that he was "soft on communism." He was . fired from the Foreign Service in 1954 for "bad judgment" and was finally exonerated in 1969. regaining his security clearance. : "Moral principles are the gyro-stabilizers -of American socieU." Davies said. It was the. attempt of American missionaries and: educators to impose these social principles" on the Chinese, "to change them into our image." that got the U.S. into trouble. "The old society was destroyed and replaced by a Communist power." The Communists of China are much more revolutionary than the Russians. Davies said, because MaoTse-Tung truly believes in the ongoing cultural revolution. Davies knew both Mao and Chou En-Lai as young men in China, Talking with history students earlier in the day. he described Mao as "a poet, a mystic, a brilliant theoretician, a man of many things." The current U.S. policy of detente with China and Russia "doesn't mean a great improvement in relations," Davies said. He warned the ideological drive is still powerful in Peking, and "detente is an ideological insult to the Communists." The fear of war between China and Russia is very great in both nations. Dav ies said. Fie referred to a widespread Russian belief, articulated recently by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. that China will attack Russia. Solzhenitsyn said the Russians "must get off their ideological kick and change to nationalism to prepare for war." Speaking with students before his speech. Davies criticized President Nixon for not consulting with Japan before his visit to mainland China in 1972. The future of U.S.-China relations is unpredictable, Davies said. Three possibilities will confront China when Mao and Chou pass from the scene: a collective leadership may evolve, a single leader may gain control or the country may fall into chaos, with control existing in some regional centers.
