Dayan: Geneva peace talks closer From UPI wire reports WASHINGTON - Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and the U.S. State Department agreed Tuesday that a Geneva conference on a Middle East peace settlement is possible and desirable this year. Dayan told a news conference there were still "wide gaps" between the Israeli and U.S. positions on such basic questions as the future boundaries of Israel and a continuing Israeli military presence in occupied Arab territories. But he said he believed his nearly six hours of talks with President Carter and other U.S. leaders moved a Geneva conference closer if only by defining the differences. "The U.S. administration understands better our position," Dayan said. "We listened to the administration. Every day we are getting closer to the conference." Dayan's visit was the first of a new series of talks between the United States and M ideast foreign ministers, with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismael Fahmi scheduled to meet Carter Wednesday. "There are wide gaps between us and the Department of State on the ultimate lines" of a M ideast settlement, Dayan said flatly. "We are not going back to the old lines" the Israeli borders that existed before the 1967 Six Day War. Tel Aviv still insists on a military presence "to protect and defend Israel" in the West Bank area and other occupied territory, such as the Golan Heights, Dayan said. Lance testimony conflict WASHINGTON - Bert Lance personally asked a federal banking official to lift a disciplinary action against his family owned bank last November so he would have a "clear record" when he became budget director, according to new testimony revealed Tuesday.

Patriarca's statement also indicated that Lance after making a request on behalf of his bank told Tarleton to come to him if he ever found anything in government that was not "right." Patriarca said he did not hear Lance's comments personally, but was informed of them by Tarleton during a dinner conversation in February. The attorney's testimony was made public by the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, which said it received the document from the IRS Tuesday morning. The committee completed nine days of public hearings on the Lance affair Monday. news briefs Panel kills guzzler tax WASHINGTON - The Senate Finance Committee Tuesday killed President Carter's tax on gas-guzzling automobiles and then considered creating a multibillion dollar federal corporation to finance energy development.

Breeder reactor okayed WASHINGTON - The House Tuesday dealt President Carter a severe setback in his bid for a worldwide moratorium on plutonium production, rejecting overwhelmingly an administration amendment to terminate the Clinch River nuclear breeder reactor. Members also killed a compromise by Rep. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., that would have authorized $75 million to keep the project in its current status while the administration considered its policy for another year.

Jackie settles accounts ATHENS, Greece Jacqueline Kennedy drop C intni.ie-d ti i-m pag'3 1 lower grades." "We chose an eight-week drop period because we felt in this amount of time students should have received a syllabus and had one major assignment graded. This gives students an idea of how demanding the course is. how the instructor grades and what the time requirements are. "Eight weeks only makes sense. It fits with the schedule of midterms most professors have now and would not cause a change in the present system." According to the proposal, a 12-week drop period was unfair to both students and professors. The proposal states that students with low grades drop courses courses at the end of the semester to avoid bad grades, leaving professors two options: Leave grades as they were before the drops, thus causing grade inflation, or redistribute the grades, which hurts conscientious students. The present four-week drop policy was adopted by the Faculty Council in April 1975. Before that, the official drop period lasted until the 12th week of classes. Students may drop courses after the official drop period ends, but they must file a written statement with a departmental appeals board and also secure a written statement from the professor of the course.

The student must file a written statement with the special appeals board of the department concerned. The student also must obtain a statement from the professor of the course. A passing grade in a pass-fail course goes toward hours completed and is not computed in the quality-point average. A failing grade, however, is used in computing the quality-point average. "The pass-fail option allows a student to dip outside his area of specialization to broaden his education," said Donald J icha. associate dean of the General College. "But students who plan to go to graduate or professional schools should minimize the number of courses taken pass-fail because it makes transfer of academic records less informative." The Educational Policy Committee of the faculty is reviewing the pass-fail option and is scheduled to report its findings to the Faculty Council Dec. 9. - MELINDA STOVAI.L i At Wednesday, Sigma Chi Derby to begin; proceeds go to Burn Center By MEREDITH C REWS Staff Writer The second annual Sigma Chi Derby Week begins Monday, with proceeds from the fund-raising events going to the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center at N.C.

The parade will proceed from Carmiehael Auditorium to Ehringhaus Field, where students are invited to watch sorority field games. Derby Day will end with a dance at Woollen Gym.

Sakowit, who works for Student Government and supports the fee increase, said Tindall suggested several alternatives for stopping the proposal. "luulall said students could force a referendum by getting 2,000 signatures on a petition," she said. "He also suggested that students could sign a petition to recall the Student Government representatives who vote against a referendum."
