ThurJy, July 24, 1975 Th Tar Hl 3 Jury selection almost complete e trial progress Lynn Medford, Editor inq ow From Staff and Wire Reports RALEIGH Jury selection is nearing completion as the Joan Little trial comes to the end of its second week in Raleigh. Cora Judkins, 49, a black housewife, was seated as the llth juror Tuesday morning. She was the fourth black to be selected. The jury will hear the state's case against the 2 1 -year-old black woman charged with the August 27 murder of Clarence T. Alligood, 62, a white Beaufort County jailer who Little maintains was attempting to rape her. When 12 jurors are seated, four or five ADdennmeoi The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen gave tentative approval for fall bus schedules at its Monday meeting, including new routes to serve the east side of town. All changes become effective August 23. Reversing an earlier decision, the board voted to institute a new bus route to the Blue Cross Building on the UNC official denies Raleigh paper story on HEW complaint A UNC official has denied a July 16 Raleigh News and Observer report which stated that the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) had found "'more than one or two' failures to meet the commitments outlined in UNC's desegregation plan." Dr. Raymond H. Dawson, UNC Vice-President for Academic Affairs, told The Tar Heel, "We have had no such communication from Mr. (William H.) Thomas," the director of the HEW regional office of Civil Rights in Atlanta. Thomas was quoted by the Raleigh -newspaper as' having found "mdrfe substantial ' things than ' just " misttradrWg'?

"We've got a better jury than we expected," Marvin Miller, a defense attorney, said this week. Miller characterized those jurors seated thus far as "intelligent and articulate." Some 50 prospective jurors have been dismissed so far. Superior Court Judge Hamilton H. Hobgood, presiding over the case, denied a defense motion Monday to remove John A. Wilkinson of Washington, N.C. from the prosecution. Wilkinson, who is being retained by members of the Alligood family, once defended Little on shoplifting charges in Beaufort County. add - new bus route Durham Boulevard. The bus, to be designated Route D, will give peak-hour local service to Blue Cross, Pinegate Apartments and Foxcroft Apartments. It will then run express to the downtown area, where it will make several local stops before reversing. The D route will run only from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., and first approved a year ago this month. Dawson also indicated that UNC President William C. Friday has been successful in his request to the Finance Committee of the UNC Board of Governors for $527,000 (out of $11 million appropriated for the plan) to give aid to "minority students," (meaning blacks on "white" campuses and whites on "black" campuses), faculty exchange programs and other items. Although Dawson is the first UNC official to say that Thomas did not say what-the N&O attributed to him, other -UN.G "officials ; such as -Associate Vice-.. President JsAm Davis (who isl now in charge of desegregation matters) have already said they see nothing amiss with UNC's compliance. MALL NEW HOURS 11 a.m.-MIDNIGHT CLOSED SUNDAYS ....................v.v.v.v.v. fa ttie store! $825 a ABOVE THE RAT Late last week, the defense moved that the case be dropped on the grounds that state prosecutor William Griffin backed off from an alleged promise to remove Wilkinson. Little's trial was originally scheduled to be held in Beaufort County, but was moved to Wake County at the request of defense attorneys during pre-trial hearings. Also in pre-trial hearings last April, the defense contended that Griffin, district attorney for Beaufort County, agreed to drop the case if Little passed a polygraph test. Her attorneys say two lie detector tests she took in June show Little was not lying about Alligood's alleged attack. Several dozen of Little's supporters staged will not operate weekends. The B route will be extended. It will begin at Booker Creek Apartments, follow North Lakeshore Drive, Estes Drive and Franklin Street to downtown, follow South Columbia Street to the N.C. Memorial Hospital, and run directly to the door of the new Bed Tower. B route will run only until 9 p.m., although the aldermen may extend the hours on weekdays. The N route will lose its current leg from Glen Lennox to University Mall and will instead loop to run by the Finley Golf Course fraternities, giving them direct service. At the north end of the N route, the bus will run past the Bolinwood Loop to University Mall from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., giving direct service to the Mall to persons in the Northside, University Gardens, Bolinwood and Village West areas. At other hours the route will end at Bolinwood. The only cutback in service is a cutoff of service in the G route at 9 p.m., and elimination of the S route from 4:40 to 5:30 p.m. The S bus will add service from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., however. Bus passes for UNC faculty, staff and . students are available at the UNC Traffic Office in the Y building for $10 for the fall semester, or $24 for a pass good until July 1, 1976. Persons not connected with UNC, including spouses and children of UNC people, may get ajj armual-pass for $30 at the ChapeUHiillMunijfcipal Building. Cash fares next year will remain at 25 cents for all routes except U and S, which will remain at 15 cents. Was it really space detente? From Staff and UNC News Bureau Reports While American and Soviet diplomats are stressing the importance of the U.S. -Soviet space project in terms of cooperation and detente, the specialists at UNC have a different idea. Last week's Apollo-Soyuz mission is only a small step, they say, and only a symbolic effort at that. I I Recycle The Tar Heel EARTH is the registered trademark of Kalso Systemet, Inc. 1975.

Chalmers represented members of the Ku Klux Klan during hearings before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1965 66. Winston-Salem Black Panther leader Larry Little (no relation to the defendant), told the demonstrators that county officials wished they would "get the hell out of here." Mfthey railroad Joan Little," he said, "hell won't be getting out of town. Hell will be coming to town." Police security was stepped up on Tuesday morning after an anonymous female caller phoned the clerk of the court's office, saying she'd heard talk of a plan to kill Joan Little. A 12-minute recess was called during which Judge Hobgood conferred with attorneys about the phone call. Extra security precautions were taken when Little left and returned to the courthouse during Tuesday's noon-hour recess. The trial is expected to run at least until the end of August. UNC, State now in same housing mess by Mike FawCett Staff Writer Don't pack your bags for Raleigh, just because UNC is short on dormitory space for this fall, folks. Carolina has a bad housing situation, but at least the UNC Department of Housing isn't going on television to locate off-campus housing for students as N.C. State University is. A spokesperson for the UNC Housing office explained that space in University housing will be crowded, just as it has been every recent year. Between 115 and 120 freshmen and 150 200 transfer students are without housing. The first figure would not be so serious except that UNC requires freshmen to live in University housing. Moreover, Housing is again assigning students to such places as the study rooms in the high-rise South Campus dorms (Morrison, Ehringhaus and James). This is similar to State's problem. J.S. Fulgham, an official of State's Department of Residence Life, told The Tar Heel Tuesday, "We're .suggesting. that people get. . offcampus housing immediately,, so,. .they,, cajft rmyeapl'aci 'jp. ljyej wfjeo. tHe.jc'ojn f downfbF registration August 23 (two (fays" before UNC's registration)." So serious are matters in Raleigh, Fulgham said, that his department cannot Dr. E. Willis Brooks, assistant professor of Russian history, termed the space project "a very clearly and effectively operated propaganda as well as scientific mission for both countries." " 1 1 is one of a whole series of exercises with no permanent value except to the individuals involved," he said, adding that the mission's greatest by-product, its potential for detente, is not likely to develop. Historian Dr. David M. Griffiths said, "This represents the public aspect of political decisions that have been taking place over the last 20 years. The significance of this mission lies in the fact that it is readily grasped by the public at large." Political science professor Dr. Robert Rupen was a bit more optimistic. "Space cooperation is the favorable side of detente. It works toward collaboration and cooperation. It strengthens detente and tends to play' down the confrontation and tno '(not shown): High Boot.

State doesn't have a rule requiring freshmen to live on-campus so NCSU freshmen don't have to move from their off campus abodes if they like it there. Back in Chapel Hill, the Housing Department has taken two steps to meet the challenge it faces. Special Saturday hours like last year, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. have been set up for off-campus housing seekers only. And a special phone number 933 5101 has been installed for those having housing to rent. Notebooks will be kept on Housing secretary Iris Ellis's desk to keep students up-to-date on who needs roommates and who needs housing. The bulletin board in the Housing Office will have posted what housing is available. The Housing Office in Carr is open weekdays until 5 p.m. if the Cartlrna situation -seems desperate, ; jus rdntekflb,eState'is going On TV and into "the local newspapers t6 warn incoming students what faces them. Fulgham said they have done this for several years. It could be a lot worse here. Cold War aspect, but we shouldn't forget that differences remain and they are fundamental." Exiled Soviet author Alexander Solzhenitsyn has warned in Time magazine against detente and Soviet American cooperation, in contrast to the views held by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and other diplomats. While touring the United States, the Nobel prize-winning novelist has been outspoken on the suffering and inhumane treatment of people in Soviet prison camps and the worldwide threats of Soviet authoritarianism. t Solzhenitsyn has appealed to Washington not to allow Moscow greater access to American technology, pointing out it would only strengthen Soviet military power. ' Schwartz responded that if the USSR does not get technology from us, they will develop it themselves or get it from some other country. "With or without our help, given their resources and commitment to being a great power, they're not going to stop " Dr. Sam Williamson, director of the Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense, criticized Solzhenitsyn's predominant idealism. "We can't isolate ourselves from them," he said. "This is a more realistic world. We should keep the pressure on the Russians by emphasizing our own ideals in the hope that the Russian regime will, over the long period of time, become less authoritarian." i (Advertisement) One More Wedk in Logos Sale This may look like an odd way 2(y;f, Hardbacks 25rc Posters to talk about a sale, but you're 200', Plaques 309c, Jewelry 20 reading it, aren't you?

Nivison of Rural Plumbing and Heating; said that the agreement with Roberts was a verbal agreement." He said the agreement is not in the sales contract. "Roberts was going to release the deposits upon request when people moved out. 1 his hasn't happened," Biddix said. Biddix said that approximately SI 2.000 in deposits is still in possession of Roberts Construction Company. Bobby Roberts of Roberts Construction Company could not be reached for comment by press time Wednesday. Last week Roberts told the Chapel Hill Sespaper" don't know anything about it ... I don't know what you are talking about." One tenant has come forth to complain to SCAU, according to Wayne Babich, a SCAU investigator. Biddix told Babich that he has received several complaints from tenants. "SCAU's main concern is to get one guy's deposit back. No one else has come forward," Babich said Wednesday. If more tenants would come forward, it would help us in investigation and in publicizing the problem." Biddix cleared the complainant of all lease obligations in an open letter acknow ledging that the former tenant "is due S100 as a ' refund on his security deposit when such funds are made available to us." Babich warned potential residents of the complex to be aware of the controversy.

Other, lesser outcomes of the joint space project were lauded by the UNC experts. Frugality, for one. "The mission has the potential for enormous cost-saving to each society," Schwartz said. "There is no sense in duplicating what we can accomplish by joint efforts." Schwartz also said cooperation in space would take one arena out of the competition for a military strategic advantage and could possibly develop the mutual trust needed to go ahead with other agreements. But the televising of the launch, the specialists agreed, showed no basic change in the attitudes of the Soviet leadership. , "It probably only meant the Soviets lived up to a promise made to the United States," political science associate professor Dr. Edward Azar, commented. Arguing that journalists would interpret the telecast of the launch as evidence of Russian society opening up. Brooks added. "They will say detente is getting somewhere, but I will argue that it is ephemeral. Televising it is not of great importance because it is a highly orchestrated mission." Last week's Apollo-Soyuz mission marked the last U.S. manned space mission scheduled, for nearly five years. That is ironic, Williamson said, because instead of representing a period of more expenditures on space programs and less on defense, Apollo-iSoyuz actually symbolizes the opposite', & Cards 10.
