No Reason For Lengthy Drive

WHATS NOISIER THAN THE CONCORDE?

OfOcUJs and voIunUbers for this years United Fund kicked off the drive last week at a luncheon.

The 100 or so in attendance was the largest ever for the kick-off session. President Tom Taft said.

The United Fund has a goal of $272,465 for this years drive, up ctmsiderably from last years goal of $246,418.

It is, however, a realistic goal and one that we should meet considering the number of agencies participating In United Fund and the benefit that they are to the community.

Jerry Powell, this years campaign chairman, urged the staff to move quickly with the solicitations. He set the end of October as target date fc-closing out the United Fund drive.

That goal, too, should be realistic. There is no reason for the campaign to drag out and we can meet the goal by the end of the month, if everyone will coop*ate.

Businesses and citizens should give promptly when they are contacted by a volunteer worker. Lets provide the funds that the participating agencies need without dday.

'Flagship' At Chapel Hill

ByBIULNOBUTr

(Second of Two Articles)

CHAPEL HILL - One of the most emphatic refrains heard as debate goes on about future directions for the University of North Carolina is, There will always be a Chapel Hill."

One of the most pronounced fears among many opponents to new programs at other campuses in the 16-member university system is the fear that Chapel Hill will be diminished in the process.

Not so, say university officials. The first, biggest, and most prestigious member of the family will continue to have the array of offerings which make it the flagship.

For one thing, the investment in equipment, facilities, and programs is already in hand. For another, duplicating such investments at other campuses would be prohibitively expensive and in many cases would not serve sufficient numbers of students to warrant the investment.

Additionally, there is simply no way another campus could assemble the range of programs and offerings found at Chapel Hill even if the politics

brought to bear upon some programs were absent (the East Carolina Medical School controversy, for example).

Another Way

There is another way, however, of bringing to the reach of North Carolinians all across the state a broader range of university offerings without having to duplicate Chapel Hill in several dif-ferent locations; regionalization of the university system, and the creation of coordinating councils.

George Watts Hill of Durham, a longtime friend of the university and veteran decision-maker on the Board of (Jovemors, sees the system moving toward a truly universal system of higher education dedicated to cooperative performance in service to students and citizens.

^ Regionalization is one of the factors. Hill says. While no single campus could offer the entire range of programs, different institutions within certain regions of the state could.

Such distribution of programs is specifically recommended in the Teacher

Education Review Program now under study by the Board of Governors, and whDe the suggestion applies in this case to teacher training, university officials see the directions reaching into other university programs.

Here is the report comment on distribution: It is recommended that the distribution of teacher education degree programs necessary for (preparation) be carefully plained and maintained to assure access to quality programs." That section calls for particular programs in certain regions of the state.

Other Programs Similar approaches in other fields of university training would work equally as well, university officials believe.

Coordination is the other key element, and several recommendations in the

teadier review book speak to the issue, and again are applicable to other programs as well.

There is a need for regular coordination between the users of university graduates and the schools training them; for coordination between the schools, the institutions, and the central staff; and for coordination of planning.

Each institution should review its own mission in relation to others in the state to develop clear goals and objectives... in terms of the institutional mission, the needs ... in North Carolina, and the limited .. resources in the University . . . "

The point is strongly made that such regular review and planning should be performed by existing university personnel.

We have the talent here to do this, and with no added cost, says Donald J. Sted-man, director of the teacher review. "We tend to bring in people from out of state, while some of our people spend a lot ot time in Idaho, be cmnmented in suggesting a program of research and evaluatiwi for member in-stititfkms.

Gamble May Not Pay Off

BY BARRY SCMWEID Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -The unprecedented decision by the United States to join the Soviet Union in promoting a Geneva peace conference based on Palestinians' legitimate rights represents a gamble by the Carter administration. It may not pay off.

What the President and his closest advisers are betting is that Israel, having no big ally other than the United States, will sit down against its better judgment and negotiate a h^eland for the Palestinians.

The invective directed at Israel during the current U.N. General Assembly session in New York by the Ckimmunist and Arab blocs and the socalled World dramatizes the loneliness of the Jewish state on the worid scene.

But despite its unique

military and economic reliance on this country, Israel remains a sovereign state. It could decide that disagreement with the United States is less of a risk than a Soviet-backed Palestinian state run by the Palestine Liberation Organization on its border.

If Israel chooses to buck Jimmy Carter, as its initial negative response to the U.S.-Soviet formula suggests it may, then the Presidents strategy urged on him by proponents of an even-handed policy in the Middle East will have backfired.

Carter might have his Geneva conference by Christmas but without substantive negotiations.

If the pressure tactics work, however, the President will be hailed in much of the world for overcoming Israeli resistance and viewed at home as a determined leader who acheived a break-

through in the Middle East.

There was little reason to suspect as Carter campaigned for the White House that be would be so tou^ on Israel or that so many differences would develop between the two countries. He needled Gerald Ford and the Republican ad-minstration for jlelaying arms shipments and for making Israel the scapegoat of U.S. Middle East policy.

Once on the job, however. Carter adopted the view of Arab specialists in the State Departmait and a key White House adviser that Palestinians posed not only a refugee problem but were an indentifiable people who deserved a homdand carved out of Israeli-held territiny.

Carter also became convinced that Egypt, Jordan and Syria as well as their banker, Saudi Arabia, were finally resolved after four wars to a Jewish state in a Moslem world provided Israel returned virtually all the territory the Arabs lost In 1967.

The onus was put on Israel to relinquish the land, though there was no peace before 1967 when it was in Arab hands.

Strength For Today

THE BASIS OF FREEDOM These words of Jesus are familiar to everyone, but many people miss the point d the Masters declaration because they emphasize the word free instead of the word tnith.

People think so much about their freedom that quite naturally as they read this sUternent of Christ they emphasize the word in uMdi they are most inteiested. But it may well be ttiat when Chri^ first spoke the words to his disciples, his emphasis was on truth. It is truth

that makes us free. Men can be born politically free that is, they live under govwn-ments of thdr own clMosing and enjoy protected human rights. But the inner freedom Jesus was speaking about is one which comes only to those who bow in submission to the dictates of spiritual truth.

People may live in a democratic society, bt if they have false or warped ideas about %d and the universe, their freedom is limited and will never bkKsmn into the glorious ia>erty of the after life.

But Israel says it will not negotiate with the PLO, the sponsor of terrorist raids against Israeli civilians.

West Point's Laugh-ln

WASHINGTON-A Pentagon commission has just . released a study recommending, among other things, that West Point cadets develop a sense of humor, something it found the academy was lacking. As anyone who has dealt with military officers knows, this is easier said than done. But Im sure that if the Pentagon recommends it. West Point will give it the old school try.

All right, cadets, we will now devote the next hqur to developing a sense of humor. Brinckley, are you preparedv

YESSIR!!,!!!!!

At ease, Brinckley. You dont have to stand at attention. Just tell us a joke

"A WHAT, SIR?!!!!!

A joke. You know, something to make us all laugh.

yESSIR!!!!!!!

Well, go ahead, Brinckley.

IN THE ARMY THERE ARE THREE KINDS OF FOOLS, SIR. FOOLS, DAMNED FOOLS AND VOLUNTEERS.

Very good, Brinckley. Very amusing. What is iL Grunback:

SIR, I TOLD BRINCKLEY That joke last ' night in the MESS HALL. HE STOLE IT FROM ME

If thats true, Brinckley, this is a serious violation of the Honor Code. West Point has a rule that a cadet will

Other Editors Say: Parleys Flounder

(Kinston Free Press)

The three-mile limit was originally established a few centuries ago, we are told, because it was as far as cannons of the time could fire out to sea.

In other words, international law regarding freedom of the seas was less a matter of agreement by other countries of the world that the oceans were a common hi^way than it was a measure of their ability to molest each other.

We have since progressed to the point where, in 1970, the United Nations declared the resources on the floor of the sea itself were the common heritage of mankind.

Yet for the past eight years, 156 countries participating in law of the sea oMiferences have been unable to reach agreement on putting that noble principle into international law.

At stake are untold billions of diglars worth of manganese noduleslittle potato-shaped accretions scattered over the ocean floor at great depthswhich also contain nickel, copper and cobalt.

A treaty seemed within reach only a few days ago. Other issues in the treaty package had been resolved, such as fishing rights, offshore oil exploration, pollution control and the like.

Unfortunately, the seabed minerals issue has foundered on a move by certain Third World countnes some of them land-based producers of the minerals involvedto make undersea miningentirely aU.N. monopoly run by the U,N. bureaucrats.

They also would limit the growth of mining and possibly require private industry to turn over its mining know-how to the United Nations as a condition for mining rights. All of which caused normally unflappable Elliot Richardson. American ambassador to the conference, to throw up his hands and suggest that the United States consider withdrawing from the deliberations.

Eight years is long enough to ^nd trying to reason with the countries of the Hiird World, many of which have shown thenn^elves to be as greedy and exploitive as any 19th-century odonial power.

not lie, cheat or steal a joke from another cadet.

SIR, GRUNBACK HEARD THAT JOKE FROM SOMEONE IN THE SECOND BATTALION. HE STOLE IT FROM THEM. Why didnt you report it under the rutes of the Honor Code?

I INTENDED TO, SIR, IF IT DIDNT GET A LAUGH.

That's not very funny, Brinckley. Im afraid youll have to go on report. The academy will not condone joke stealing, nor the failure to report another cadet who stole one. When you lead men into battle, they wiU expect you to make tqi your own jokes, and they will not follow an officer who takes jokes from someone else in the field. Have I made myself clear? YESSIR!!!!!!!

All right, now lets keep our sense of humor in spite of this tragic affair. OReilly, can you make the class laugh?

"VESSIR!!!!!

Well, go to it.

OReilly takes a banana cream pie out from under his desk and flings it into the captains face. The captain, wiping the cream off his starched uniform, says, That was very good, OReilly. Im giving you an A in the course. THANKYOUSmi!!!! I am also going to have you ^urt-martialed for striking" an officer, insubordination and insulting the uniform of the United States Army under Article 12, Section 8 of the MUitary Code. BUT SIR, YOU TOLD ME TO MAKE THE CLASS LAUGH. THEYRE HYSTERICAL.

Good, then I am also adding the charge of mutiny. What is it Grimstead?

SIR. YOU STILL HAVE SOME WHIPPED CREAM IN YOUR LEFT NOSTRIL. Do you want to go to Leavenworth, too?

NO Sm, THAT WAS A JOKE. I JUST MADE IT UP.

Quiet

Cattle

Exodus

By DAVID TOMUN AnocMed Prev Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A quiet exodus from North Carolina is under way, the result of a collection of small tragedies ranging from financial setbacks to hopes ruined beyond repair.

The departures are not of human beings, but of cattle. They are leaving the state for feed-lots in the midwest, because the summer drought left North Carolina without enough food to see them through the winter.

Some cattle would be on their way out anyway. But hundreds of cattle and dairymen have reckoned that keeping their entire herds this winter would be financially ruinous, and some have had to sell every animal they own and get out of the business altogether.

Effective in August, there have been 38 per cent more cattle sold in the western Piedmont than at the same time last year, said Charles Elks of the state Department of Agriculture. From Greensboro to Rocky Mount the figure is 14 per cttit higher than last year.

The problem. Elks said, is that its hard to make hay while the sun shines, at least when there isnt any rain.

Farmers who ordinarily would have let their cattle graze well into December were dipping into their winter feed reserves by late July and early August, Elks said.

Others who had no such reserves watched their animals lose so much weight that it would have been impossiWe for them to be sold profitaUy later on.

So cattlemen either culled out the weakest animals in their herds for sale, hoping in the end to strengthen their stock or liquidated their herds entirely. Dr. Everett Nichols of North Carolina State University, said this would have been a good year otherwise for cattlemen.

They were coining off two or three fairly marginal years, he said. This year

40 Years Ago Today

Octobers, 1977 Government housing officials, as proud of their low rent dwellings as any young bride, said they would welcome a chance to show the Duke of Windsor how the United States has tackled its housing problem.

The Duke, accompanied by his American-born Duchess, was expected to leave Paris for a study of housing and labor amditions in Germany and this country.

From Stewart McDonald, FHA administrator, came a statement we will give all cooperation and will make available to the Duke and Duchess all facilities of the FHA.--

Signs Of Activity To Come

ByJOHNCUNNIFF AP Business Analyst

NEW YORK (AP) - Just when a lot of people were getting accustomed to the notion that the nations economy was sinking into a quagmire, a few reports were issued that tend to riddle the notion:

Machine tool orders, or orders for equipment that will be used in making other goods, spurted in August after declining in June.

The level of orders at the nations factories rose in August for the first time since May.

The Index of Leading Economic Indicators also rose in the same month^fter having declined for two months earlier this year -and three straight until the July figures were revised from a minus to a plus. What all these indicators share in common is the future: they are all indicators of further

economic activity. They represent commitments to that activity.

There is additional evidence of some underlying strength in some of the other individual indicators. Capital ending plans are moving up. So are building permits. Again, these are signs of activity to come.

It doesnt take much to change the kaleidoscopic pattern of the economy, ju^ a one-month shakeup of the indicators. The change can develop with remarkable

The stock market, for instance, is one of those leading economic indicators. When other components of the leading index show strength the stock market is inclined to rise as a consequence. And in rising, it contributes further to a rise in the index, of which it is a component.

A one-month rise after three months of weakness

might not be enou^ to dispel the fog and drizzle that has been dampening Wall Streets outlook, but it should quiet for the time being some of the fog horns of disaster.

For months, their gloomy voices have been telling a tale of woe to amie, cd an international economy mired in recesskm, of inflation raging throughout the world, of problems beyond our ability to deal with.

To deny there are serious problmns is to close the eyes to reality.

To name a few: teen-age unemployment, the plight of the debt-ridden poorer nations, the difficulty of maintaining free trade when jobs are lost to unfair competition, overregulation, underutilization of capacity.

The stock market, which is svHMsed to represent the investment communitys attitude toward the future, is a special case of its own.

depressed for reasons that many experts are at a loss to explain.

There are serious social and economic problems that seldom catch the headlines. The difficulties involved in starting a small business, for example. The lack of training programs to facilitate the employment of youngsters.

But to gather all the problems into a patchwork quUt and then try to spread it over the entire economy is just as unrealistic.

Those recent expressions of cmifidence in the economic future, for example, cannot be covered by the blanket. They protrude.

New orders at the nations factories, a healthy level of building permits, orders for new machine tools, and financial commitments to new plants and equipment are the reality or else the money so committed doesnt meanathlng.
