Vorster accepts U.S. plan for black rule in Namibia Wednesday, April 26, 197 The Daily Tar Heel 3 Senate candidates still battling By United Press International CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Prime Minister John Vorster accepted a U S -backed plan for black rule in Namibia paving the way for an end to 58 years of South African rule in the disputed territory. The decision, announced in Parliament, ends of a year of intensive negotiations on Namibia, formerly South West Africa. News Briefs Vorster's acceptance placed the onus for a similar response upon the militant, Soviet backed guerrilla movement operating in Namibia, the South West Africa Peoples Organization. "If the international community truly wants peace in the territory, the wav is now completely open to achieve it," Vorster said. He said the decision could lead to independence by "the end of this year." In Washington, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Richard Moose called Vorster's announcement "an extraordinarily statesmanlike and constructive step." Vorster said, however, that South African troops will remain in Namibia "until there was a complete cessation of hostilities." Soviets: bomb inhuman MOSCOW - President Leonid Brezhnev, reacting to President Carter's decision to deter production of the neutron bomb, said Tesday both nations should renounce the "inhuman" weapon. Carter rejected the Soviet leader's statement as having "no significance." Brezhnev also held out hopes that a "sensible and realistic compromise" could be reached in the Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty talks and sounded a generally positive note on U.S.-Soviet relations. Brezhnev said Carter's decision earlier this month to delay production of the neutron bomb was a "half-measure" and called on Washington to sign an agreement with Moscow under which neither superpower would produce the weapon. The Soviets are believed to be several years away hem developing the bomb themselves. Hours later, Carter told a news conference in Washington that the neutron bomb, a low-yield nuclear weapon which kills people but leaves buildings intact, was of value to the West only in the event of a massive Soviet tank invasion of Europe. He said the Soviet Union had no use for the weapon and Brezhnev "knows this." "Mr. Brezhnev's statement has no significance at all," Carter taid. Civil War is over WASHINGTON Georgia Gov. George Busbee told Northern and Midwestern members of Congress Tuesday "the South is ready to tone down this North-South nonsense" and cooperate in solving national problems. Earlier in the day, Busbee said essentially the same thing at a gathering of fellow Southerners, but suggested the South should 1 jf J'..'ii. i.::::v: V1.' V'.'.V.

The governor appeared at the two regional meetings in his capacity as head of the Southern Growth Policies Board, a 13-state economic development group. At a session attended by two other Southern governors and six members of Congress from the region, Busbee said: "We're not trying to pass any formulas to help the South. We're trying to do what's right for the nation but we don't want to be discriminated against." Then, speaking by invitation at a meeting of the Northeast-Midwest Economic Advancement Coalition, Busbee said. "We are ready to pool our resourc-s if possible with those of the Northeast, North Central, Midwest and Western regions in order to seek national solutions to our common problems, but national solutions that are flexible enough to meet our respective regional needs." From staff and wire reports Lawrence Davis said he wants to improve government programs for senior citizens while John Ingram continued his attack on what he claims are special interest candidates in the race for the Democratic Senate nomination Tuesday, one week from election day. Luther Hodges said President Carter's energy bill should be passed and McNeill Smith, another major candidate in the race, said some programs now paid from social security receipts should be moved outside of the social security program. Davis, delivering a campaign speech to the Greensboro chapter of the American Association of Retired People, said "skyrocketing costs of retirement benefits and health serivces have recently begun to threaten the security of our older citizens." Davis said controlling inflation would help shore up the social security system and program administration should be streamlined. He also said community services should be provided that will prevent unnecessary hospitalization or placement in nnmni h e Davis said the various programs for the elderly are scattered among several agencies. He said a single oil ice should coordinate the programs and that could red.".e administrative costs by 50 percent. Ingram, speaking to reporters at an airport press conference in Charlotte, predicted he will win the nomination if the news media will point out what he said were the special interest connections of the others in the race. "North Carolina cannot afford a special interest United States senator," Ingram said. "Voting for a big money-banking-insurance candidate is like voting to let the fox guard the chicken house." Ingram didn't mention Luther Hodges by name, but referred to him as "the only banking candidate" and said the news media should closely examine financial disclosure statements by the candidates and let the people know their special interest connections. Planning to spend only $30,000 in his campaign, Ingram said when "one of the special interest candidates tells you what he is going to do for inflation, taxes and energy, ask him what he has done for the people." Ingram cited his record asNtatemsurance commissioner, saying he had saved consumers almost $33 million with reductions in credit life insurance rates. Hodges campaigned in the Piedmont area in a motor home and then headed for eastern North Carolina. "President Carter's energy bill needs to be passed," he said. "It's not perfect, but it's a baby step forward. We need to show the world that we are serious about facing our energy problem and that we intend to solve it." Smith, replying to a campaign questionnaire, said Medicare costs should be pulled out of the retirement and disability portions of the social security system. The Medicare operation, he said, "should be funded out of general revenues, as are Medicaid and other medical programs." William Griffin, one of four lesser-known candidates in the primary, said he wants to slow the flow ol textile dollars to overseas machinery makers. "I'm for looking out for the American first," Griffin said in remarks taped for broadcast at 7 p.m. today over the UNC Television Network. AAD attempts to be formally recognized By ANNETTE FULLER Staff Writer The Association of Apartment Dwellers, a Student Government -sponsored group lor apartment dwelling students, should be a reality next fall. "We will be asking Dean (Frederic) Schroeder (director of student activities) to give us formal recognition as a group," Lyndon Fuller, co organizer of the AAD said. "This will include us getting funds which will be used primarily to print apartment directories." At fall registration students wh fill out green locator cards will see a question as. ing apartment dwellers if they would like to be involved in the AAD. "A lot of t he students move out to apartments to get away from campus life," Fuller said. "We will not be interfering with them, but those that check yes on their locator card will be contacted for activities that will help ihem get to know other people in their apartment complex." In the fall, the AAD will compile a directory of students living in apartments. "The Student Locator will hold the locator cards for two weeks after registration, and then we will get them and work out a directory," Fuller said.

When, then, is it appropriate to slowly quaff the smooth, refreshing mountains of Busch Beer? Celebrations, of course, are both expected and ex cellent opportunities to test your mountaineering mettle. Indeed, on major holidays it is virtually mandatory to do so.

Student Body President Jim Phillips has appointed Cary Ulman to help lead the organization. "We (AAD) will stay in Suite C (Student Government) until we Can get on our feet in the fall," Fuller said. "Then, we will move out and set up an organization like the Resident Hall Association with representatives and meetings." The AAD expects to get representatives from the various apartment complexes either through voting or appointment. After the representatives are chosen, AAD will hold meetings either w eekly or bi-weekly to discuss problems of apartment life and to plan activities within the complexes like mixers, backgammon tournaments and volleyball games. "We also hope to help the junior transfers who almost never live on campus.'" 220 4:40 7:00 9:20 ENDS THURS 3:10 5:10 7:10 9:10 ENDS THURS.
