I Th3 Daily Tar Hsel Wednesday, January 24," 1979 'T Suturduy meeting to figh f WJ OCT) 1d'D1j 2 ?'L &DIP 1l aEdhntiar reouireu competency .test Me TEHRAN, Iran (AP) Iranian military leaders marched the elite imperial guard Tuesday in a bristling, rccse-stepping show of loyalty and boasted that the troops were ready to "shed their blood" to support the monarchy and the government of Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar. One of the chief aides to religious opposition leader Ayatullah Khomeini, meanwhile, warned that unless Bakhtiar resigns in favor of the ayatullah's planned Islamic republic, strikes will continue to cripple the nation's oil-based economy. Khomeini is expected to return here, Friday from Paris after 1 5 years in exile." On the advice of the Iranian military, Britain's Royal Air Force on Wednesday will evacuate more than 200 foreigners from the oil center of Ahwaz. About one half of them are American oil industry workers who will be taken from the strife torn area to Bahrain, on the Persian Gulf. In an unusual show, the military paraded 1,000 of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's imperial troops, primarily for the benefit of foreign reporters. The soldiers shouted "Long live the shah" as they ran a snow-covered obstacle course and marched the high kicking goose step near the shah's Niavaran Palace. Others, clad in gas masks, lunged at one another with bayonets showing what one officer called "anti-subversive street warfare." "Our job is to protect and guard his majesty and the government," Maj. Gen. Ali Nashat, commander of an imperial fHr rter pulls State of Union address LiJ & WASHINGTON (A P) President Carter called Tuesday night for a redoubled effort to control the inflation "that has wracked our country for more than a decade." And he declared once more that the price spiral can be slowed without a recession or wage and price controls. "In our government, it is a myth that we must choose endlessly between inflation and recession," Carter said. . Nearly half of his speech was devoted to the need to control inflation. "Together, we build the foundation for a strong economy with lower inflation without contriving either a recession with its high unemployment, or unworkable mandatory government controls," he said. The president called on Congress to enact his proposed wage insurance program for which he has set aside $2. billion in his fiscal 1980 budget. The 'wyyynamsorr- - in all fields. "Most students in honors have a chance to have reviews and discussions in their senior year, but what if you're not in honors? It would be nice to have classes of 25-30 seniors in their majors and to give them all a chance to discuss and talk about what they have learned. " "Right now we have exams as a means of finding out what a student has learned by the time he has graduated, but it would be better to have a course where people can exchange ideas." Williamson said that in the natural sciences the people from a specific field such as biology, who might be considering pre-med, would be able to discuss research techniques and problem areas that had come up in their work. He said the revised curriculum also might include more remedial courses. He said the math department might be able to use a remedial course, but that it would be harder to have such a course in the languages department. But Williamson refused to talk about the possibility of "core" courses in the EVERYBODY if SNOWS-.-v.- 1 V l' V i Valentirie 1 r ' Mil Tor;an ;aaaiionia ao Place'YourOrclersJ10W! i t t Vrrn n 1 t 1 f ( guard brigade, told reporters. "His majesty has left on another one of his regular vacations and the troops see it that way. When his majesty comes fcack, the troops will be here, ready, as always, to shed their blood for him." Colonels, majors and captains of the elite guard, numbering about 12,000 men and said to be the most loyal of the country's 430,000 troops, made similar comments while observing the display. Referring to Khomeini's plans to replace the monarchy with an Islamic republic, an authoritative government source in Tehran said the "army will not tolerate any action directed against the constitution. If such action is taken, a bloodbath cannot be ruled out." After months of severe rioting against him, the shah left Iran last Tuesday on "vacation" and he is now in Marrakesh, Morocco. In a Washington interview with ABC reporter Barbara Walters, Iran's ambassador to the United States, Ardeshir Zahedi, said the shah intends to remain in Morocco for at least two to three weeks. Sources close to the monarch said he had postponed indefinitely a planned visit to the United States. The sources said the shah was "rather disappointed" by what he viewed as President Carter's switch of support to Khomeini and that the uncertainty caused by Khomeini's imminent return was an added reason for putting off the visit. no surprises money would be paid to workers who restrain their wage demands if inflation exceeds 7 percent this year. "American workers who enlist with us in the fight against inflation deserve not just our gratitude, but the protection of the real wage insurance proposal I have made," he said. Carter said the overall state of the nation's economy in 1979 is strong and "offers greater prosperity to more of our people than ever before." With unemployment down sharply in the past two years, he said the time has come for a "strong and persistent" effort against inflation. Consumer prices increased about 9.2 percent last year, the worst in four years, and are expected to rise by at least 7.2 percent this year. Carter said his legislation will save Americans $60 billion in five years, including $25 billion in federal outlays. From page 1 new curriculum. I nstead of the more open curriculum now used, core courses offer a student a specific group of courses from which to fulfill a requirement. Williamson also refused to comment on any changes he did not wish to see occur in the curriculum." Williamson said he is pleased with the work of the Committee on Curriculum Reform, led by Weldon Thornton of the English department. "I think Professor Thornton and his committee have been realistic, thorough and hard-headed on some difficult issues," Williamson said. "It would be all right if they decide to keep the same overall format as we have now, as long as we know why we have the format we do," he said. "It is necessary that people be able to see some direction and some purpose behind keeping the various requirements. . "It will be this time next year before anything will be put before the Faculty Council. And after that it will still be a long time before any of-the changes are incorporated into the curriculum. It is a slow process to change or modify a curriculum." V tne btudenrstore, ix. ' K v v-a .Canayor, Gif t V - rTfTI 1--1 ' Lm'A' "ON CAMPUS" lW U . uw J. Israeli villages shelled from Lebanon TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Palestinian gunners shelled Israeli villages from bases in southern Lebanon again Tuesday and Israel answered with an artillery" barrage: The Israeli government warned that Lebanon will suffer more than Israel if shooting continues along the volatile border. Palestinian guerrillas said their forces suffered no casualties but three Lebanese civilians were killed and 21 were wounded in the five-hour exchange. Many Israelis living along the 69-mile frontier spend the day in bomb shelters. No casualties were reported by the government. Vietnam claims victory, fighting go on BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) Vietnam said Tuesday that the "people's uprising" that toppled the Cambodian government of Premier Pol Pot was complete and "irreversible." But Thai and Western intelligence officials said fighting was continuing, some near Phnom Penh, the capital. Vietnam's army newspaper said China, which supports the Pol Pot government, was trying to sabotage the Cambodian revolution and that "a psychological campaign is being whipped up by Peking to distort" the ' situation. Snail darter wins another round WASHINGTON (AP) A Cabinet level committee Tuesday barred the Tennessee Valley Authority from completing the $1 19 million Tellico Dam in Tennessee, ruling that possible benefits from the project did not justify killing off the snail darter. At the same time, the Endangered Species Committee voted to permit completion of the $1.6 billion Gray rocks Dam and Reservoir in Wyoming, provided protective measures are taken to ensure the project does not imperil whooping cranes. GOP convention set in Detroit WASHINGTON (AP) Despite opposition from the South and West, the Republican Party voted Tuesday to hold its 1980 National Convention in Detroit. - While party officials said the decision was based mostly on the number of hotel rooms and seats in the convention hall, the choice also reflected GOP Chairman Bill Brock's efforts to attract blacks to the party. Another factor was that most of the alternative cities were instates that have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. 'Holocaust9 angers most West Germans BONN, West Germany (AP) Most West Germans reacted strongly Tuesday over the showing of the first installment of the "Holocaust" television series, which depicts Nazi atrocities and German anti-Semitism in World War II. While some thought it was good, most Germans expressed anger or sorrow that the U.S.-produced program revived too many bad memories and images. Khomeini aides concede possible threat . PARIS (AP) Aides to the Ayatullah Khomeini conceded Tuesday the spiritual leader of Iran's anti-shah revolt faces a threat from loyalist forces and is having trouble finding an airline to take him home this Friday. "Well you know, this is a critical stage of our struggle," said chief aide Ibrahim Yazdi in reaction to reports of violence from pro-shah groups opposed to the Moslem leader's effort to unseat Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Aides said they have received several anonymous telephone calls threatening the 78-year-old ayatullah's life.

Members of local branches of the group, including Chapel Hill-Carrboro, Durham, Raleigh, Greensboro and Chatham County coalitions, will hold a statewide meeting Saturday in Durham to discuss the test and other issues in education. "The purpose of the meeting is to determine the road forward in terms of what the coalition will do, said Charles Finch, chairman of the Durham coalition. "Delegates will be coming from different places around the state to talk about competency tests, black colleges and other educational issues." "We will continue to mobilize the constituency to fight the competency tests," said the Rev. Leon White, co chairman of the state coalition. "Whatever we do, we'll be making THE U.N.C.

Our program against competency testing was not a short-term, program based on how many passed and failed." Members of the coalition have expressed concern that students who fail the competency tests will have trouble finding good jobs. "Those who run factories will see this as an opportunity to get cheap labor," White said. Finch related the Competency tests to HEW's requirement that the University of North Carolina eliminate duplicative programming. "The competency test is part o that overall plan to cut back education in the country and the amount of money going into education, particularly for the black and white working classes," he said. "In most schools, 60 to 70 percent of those who failed were black. If you're talking about reducing black graduates by 60 to 70 percent, you're going to reduce the number of students going to black colleges," Finch said. "Black colleges are going to be forced to close down. That's how competency testing fits in," he said. Roommates FEMALE ROOMMATE wanted. 2 bedroom apt in Lake Forest area. 2 min from K bys line.
