Morris K. Udall, his presidential candidacy on the line, opened a narrow lead over Georgia's Jimmy Carter in the Wisconsin primary Tuesday. Henry Jackson moved into a commanding lead in New York. As expected President Ford jumped far in front over Ronald Reagan in Wisconsin's Republican presidential prima ry. Half an hour after the polls closed. ABC and CBS both projected Ford as the winner in Wisconsin. ABC also said Udall would win his first primary of 1 976 in Wisconsin. As the returns began coming in, Udall began carving an edge over Carter, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Alabama's three-term governor George C. Wallace was running third and Jackson a weak fourth. But in New York. Jackson started heading for a solid victory in the primary' he called a "key" to his campaign, but appeared to be running short of the "landslide" majority he predicted.

The proposal was sent to the Bar on Mar. 25 and must be approved by the Bar before it can be implemented. Details of the proposal have not been disclosed publicly pending a decision, but essentially it would allow student government to hire an attorney to give free legal advice to studentSand be available to represent students in legal transactions. The attorney would be paid out of the general surplus of the student government budget. The attorney would be hired only to represent students and would not serve as an attorney for student government. There would be restrictions on the types of cases the student legal counsel could handle. For example, the student legal counsel would not be able to represent students in a lawsuit against the University or other state agencies. He would also be prohibited from handling cases in which one student sues another student. If the N.C. State Bar approves the proposal, student government officials say the student legal counsel could begin work immediately. Attorney Dorothy Bernholz has been selected to take the position and says she would be ready to start work as soon as the proposal is approved. Student government has allocated $20,850 from its general surplus to fund the program on a one year trial basis. Student Body President Billy Richardson said that if the proposal is approved funding wpuld begin immediately, During the first year, Richardson said that the program will be closely studied and at the end of the year the Campus Governing Council would decide whether or not to continue the legal service. Although no details of student government's program proposal have been publicized, Richardson said that it is closely patterned after a student legal counsel program at Duke. The Duke program, which went into effect in February, has been successful and is handling a large volume of student legal problems. The Duke program provides an on-campus attorney and a referral service to put students in contact with local attorneys who have agreed to handle student legal problems. If a student does not want to be represented by the student legal counsel, the student legal service will pay for his first visit to one of the off-campus attorneys. The UNC student legal counsel program will probably be organized along similar lines, but studeiirovernmeiH ; officials are eluctant. to discuss the specifics of the program while it is still being considered by the N.C. State Bar. Udall in Wisconsin and Jackson in New York banked on victories to stop Carter's march through the Democratic primaries. Carter, the suprising southerner, won five of the first six primaries, losing only in Massachusetts where he finished fourth. Ford was heading for his sixth primary win in Wisconsin after a surprise defeat in North Carolina to Reagan two weeks ago. Reagan abandoned his Wisconsin campaign two weeks ago and relied strictly on a heavy media blitz. Neither Ford nor Reagan were entered in New York. But a machine slate believed loyal to Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller and Ford's for the asking in a conventions showdown with Reagan was brushing aside token opposition from the former California governor. The twin primaries were crucial to Udall, who has failed to win a primary so far although he finished second in New Hampshire and Massachusetts; and to Jackson, who was banking on winning New York to keep alive his strategy of carrying the vote-rich industrial North. As expected, the Wisconsin Democractic primary quickly developed into a two-candidate fight between Udall and Carter, while Jackson appeared headed fortheone sided triumph he had anticipated in New York. Wallace, who finished second four years ago, and Jackson, who relied ostly on television, appeared out of the running in Wisconsin. - Hubert Humphrey was not on the ballot either in Wisconsin or New York. But as many as 60 delegates in New York who ran uncommitted said they were favorable to the 1968 Democratic nominee, and his shadow candidacy also played a role in Wisconsin, Humphrey's hopes of a brokered convention relied heavily on Jackson and Udall stopping Carter's steamroller. Jackson built a solid lead over . Udall and Carter in the race for New York State's 274 Democratic presidential delegates Tuesday, but Humphrey threatened to prevent him from winning a clear majority. With 13 per cent of the vote counted, Jackson was leading in 92 . delegate races. Carter in 66 and Udall in 36. But some 37 uncommitted delegates many of them supporting Humphrey, were also leading. . Carter showed strength in many upstate districts, but the returns were too light to declare any of his delegates elected. L. Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson picks up his first primary victory in New York. Committee to cut budget proposals by Mary Ann Rhyne Staff Writer The Campus Governing Council Finance Committee met Monday night to begin making cuts in proposed organizational budgets. Barry Smith, chairman of the committee, said $1 1 1,000 will be cut from the budget proposals. ...The committee hopes t.o increase lhe amount of money in the unappropriated balance from $12,000 last year to $20-30,000. Giant TV available to classes by Colette Chabbott Staff Writer While giant televisions with screens the size of a wall are something in the future of most Americans, the UNC audio-visual department ' has had one since last August. The provost office approved funds for the $3,500 giant television last summer after UNC became the first university in the United States to acquire the rights from CBS to videotape the network's hard-news programs. The television also serves as a closed-circuit video-tape player. Both the video-tapes and the video-beam projector, (the official name for the giant television screen), are available for instructional use to any UNC class on request, but audio visual research assistant Katheryn Conway said many .departments of the University are still unaware of its existence. "The journalism and political science departments have used it (the projector with the video-tapes) most .so far," Conway said, adding that video-tapes of presidential primary coverage are the most popular. Executives of the National Truckers' Association came to UNC in November to watch a video-taped CBS news segment. The news film presented a study done by the UNC Highway Safety Research Council on truck accidents. Conway said that projector and video-tapes were used by groups almost once a day during vv lit i V skW-s.. s, J-& h--h iff-" - -i 1 1 ill SPi - ; I 1 . x 1 ? r v viv:-:-:'-: " :-.-:-:-'v'-i 4 : I .tit::- i:- I 4 . t I ) f ; , - - - -, i - v A,.:-!4:-: --'- " , the presidential primaries. Average use during other times may be as low as once a week. According to its $100 annual contract with CBS, the audio-visual department may not keep video-tapes of news programs for more than 30 days. A log of currently available tapes and their content is available at the audio-visual office. Conway uses the project daily when she tapes and reviews morning, evening and weekend news as well as primary coverage, special news documentaries and press conferences. She said the seven-foot diagonal screen is more effective than a standard television. WI think the larger screen allows you to become more involved personally. It's big. It's immediate. The fact it (a standard television) is smaller makes you feel more removed from it and hence more objective," Conway commented. The projector unit consists of a large projector receiver and a 52 by 69 inch free standing parabolic screen, which must be placed exactly 100 inches from the projector. The aluminum screen contains no electronic circuitry but simply reflects the sound and picture projected at it from the receiver's three color tubes. Because the critical distance between the projector and screen must be a standard measurement, the unit is not portable. The audio-visual department's projector is housed in a 50-seat auditorium on the first floor of Abemathv Hall. "The $12,000 was gone by the end of the year. Worthy projects core up during the rest of the year and we want to be able to fund them." said Smith. With this increase in unappropriated funds $130-140,000 will have to be cut from the budgets as originally proposed. Smith said that most of the organizations have made suggestions to tne CCC concerning where their budgets couid be cut. Some of the groups voluntarily cut their own budgets when they realized they could not get new funds. Groups hoping to receive funding and the amount of their proposed budgets are: Toronto Exchange, $1,150; Sports Club, $5,996; Executive Branch of Student Government. $30,038: Legislative Branch of Student Government. $1,155; and Judicial Branch of Student Government. $2,755.

WUNC station returns to air, pleases public by Jack Greenspan Staff Writer WUNC. the University's public, non commercial radio station, returned to the air Saturday, and according to Donald Trapp. station director and general manager. "Response has been overwhelming." "We've received hundreds of letters." added Joan Watrous, development director of the station, "and the phones have been jumping off the hook!" She said nany listeners thanked the station for bringing classical music to the area. WUNC broadcasts at 91.5 on the FM band, seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. The 50,000 watt station reaches an audience within an 85 mile radius. Studios are located in Swain Hall. "Programming is approximately 60 per cent classical music," said Watrous. Some jazz and folk music are also played and remaining air time is devoted to news, public affairs programming and radio drama. WUNC is a member of National Public Radio (NPR) an interconnected system of 181 public Hypnotism; gold watches, pendulums not necessary By Tim Smith Staff Writer One man sits on a stool, his face expressionless. In front of him stands a figure resembling Clark Gable, with glistening, dark hair and wearing a black formal suit. The standing figure holds a silver-plated pocket watch, which gleams with each passing swing on its chain. The voice is steady now. The deep-set eyes sparkle. "Your arms are getting tired, very tired. Now your eyelids are feeling heavy. You are straining to keep them up. You're feeling sleepy, very sleepy. "sDo you hear me? Good: When you awaken you will be a frog and will jump to the nearest lily pad to kiss a princess. Do you understand? Now when I count to three you will awaken and remember nothing." The crowd is hushed. The figure awakens and jumps off the stage onto a nearby table, spilling dishes and collapsing the table. The crowd roars with laughter. This is the American conception of a hypnotist, according to those who practice it. The mythical picture carries with it a derogatory image hypnotists today are trying to dispel. "For the first 15 years I practiced hypnosis, 1 kept a very low profile. Mostly because people would say, 'Oh, you do hypnosis' and look at me very strange or not at all," said George Boisvin, a 20-year practioner of hypnosis and professional magician. . "Many people expect and ask me for my watch or pendulum. It's all part of the image that's been fostered by the entertainment media. It can work but it's not necessary," Boisvin said. Most hypnotists begin hypnosis by discussing the subject's expectations. "If the subject has any knowledge of hypnosis and expects me to use a swinging object, then I'll do that. But if he has no preconceptions then I'll ask him to look at me or at the back of his own hands," Boisvin said. By concentrating on an object, explained Boisvin, the subject leaves his subconscious mind open for suggestions. The time for this process usually varies, he added, but it is not usually as quick as portrayed by the media. Boisvin also noted there are many myths about the hypnotist himself. "Some women have told me I have beautiful eyes but I don't think that's really important for hypnosis. Of course, people do expect deep-set eyes but I know some doctors who look like milk toast and are excellent hypnotists." he added. He said that anyone can use hypnosis successfully, but that confidence is necessary. "We used this one man once who knew nothing about hypnosis. We told him the procedure and then he went out on stage and was completely successful. "But he had two things going for him. He had the nerve to do it and the audience was expecting a professional." he said. However, explained Boisvin. the biggest myth of hypnosis is that no one can do something under hypnosis that is against their religious or moral principles. "It's not strictly true that they won't do something against their principles. You can get someone to do almost anything if you change the circumstances. "For that reason, I don't think people should use hypnosis as a parlor game. It can be misused and that's what makes it dangerous." he said. Hypnotism is also used to reduce tension and anxiety in patients who are also undergoing psychotherapy. "It's not a substitute for therapy. It's only used as an aid," said Shirley Sanders, a medical practioner of hypnosis for 1 1 years. Hypnotherapy, as hypnotism is called when used for medical purposes, was sanctioned by the American Medical Association 35 years ago. Medical hypnosis is often used in stopping patients' bad habits, such as cigarette smoking. Since these habits may take some time to break, noted Sanders, many patients are instructed in self-hypnosis, so that they may undergo their own daily treatment. The biggest hypnotism to Sanders is that a person under hypnosis is not under his own control, "There isn't any way 1 can hypnotize someone who doesn't want me to. And I can't make someone do anything that is against their own will," she said. For example, she said. "It is rare that a person will be in a deep enough trance to forget what was going on. even if the hypnotist tells the subject not to remember. Most people don't want to forget it, and that's deeply planted in their mind." she said. Another myth concerns the personality types that make better subjects. "It's a hard question. There's been a lot of research on that but I feel motivation in a subject is far more important than personality." said Sanders. Both Sanders and Boisvin agreed, however, that if the subject is more intelligent, he is more likely to be better suited for hypnotism. Many dentists also use hypnotism to alleviate fear and pain and stop bleeding that might occur after an operation. "Actually, it's a side effect of hypnosis. By relaxing the patient, the hypnotist automatically helps stop the bleeding, since fear and anxiety cause the wound to open up." said Sanders. Sanders warns prospective patients, however, to only accept medical hypnosis from doctors w ho arc recognized by the societies of experimental and clinical hypnotists. radio stations across the country with a national programming center in Washington. From NPR. WUNC will broadcast the award-winning news and feature show. "All Things Considered." on weekday evenings at 5 p.m. Other NPR programming includes live coverage of congressional hearings, speakers at National Press Club luncheons and debates at National Town" Meetings.

WUNC has a core staff of seven full-time professionals, each with a Masters degree in radio television. Nine part-time graduate assistants and over 75 volunteers work in every phase of station operation trom announcing and producing to answering telephones and typing. "Watrous said that the station is still accepting volunteers. "We need people with FCC third class and first class radio-telephone licenses." said Watrous. "but anyone can volunteer." WUNC began broadcasting at 12:30 p.m. Saturday with a special dedication program hosted by Chancellor Ferebee Tavlor. who was joined by Henry Loomis. president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and Lou Frischncchnt, president of National Public Radio. The locally produced series "North Carolina: A Self Portrait" and the Carolina Choir's performance of "Testament of Freedom" were featured during the broadcast. On Sunday afternoon WUNCasked listeners to call in and let them know what kind of signal the station was sending. Trapp said the station received over 200 calls in three hours. "We had people call from as far south as Laurinburg. as far north as Chatham. Va. and as far east as Goldsboro and Rocky Mount." he explained. m a Because of a typographical error, the Daily Tar Heel reported incorrectly Tuesday that 20 persons attended last weekend's Southeastern Gay Conference. Three hundred persons actually attended the conference. The DTH regrets the error.
