CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) Gemini 7 astronauts Frank Borman and James A. Lovell Jr. relaxed Friday on the eve of one of man's greatest space adventures a two-week endurance flight during which two manned vehicles may fly within inches while orbiting at 17,500 miles an hour. Success of the marathon mission and the planned rendezvous with Gemini 6 would topple all man-in-space records and considerably enhance America's confidence that it can land astronauts on the moon in this decade.

Most space agency officials feel there is slightly better than a 50-50 chance that the Gemini 7 and 6 rendezvous can be accomplished in mid-December. The smoothest pre-launch preparations in the history of the man in space program coasted without a hitch toward today's scheduled 2:30 p.m. (EST) launching of Gemini 7. The weather outlook, which had caused concern yesterday, brightened. The forecast was for cloudy but satisfactory launching conditions at Cape Kennedy this afternoon.

All systems in the four-ton spacecraft and the nine-story-tall Titan 2 rocket received thorough checks yesterday and were pronounced in excellent shape. Fuel was loaded in the power producing fuel cells. The Titan 2 a fueled last night. Student Legislature Tables To Back U. S.

Schirra and Stafford are to take off from the same launch pad on Dec. 13 nine days after Gemini 7 in airborne to begin the historic pursuit "We've got a good chance of doing it," said flight director Chris Kraft. "There are three factors How well we do with the checkout of Gemini 6 spacecraft and launch vehicle, and the weather.

Among those who give the effort a 50-50 chance is Air Force Lt. Col. Jack Albert, Titan launch director. Kraft said Gemini 6 could take the best ones home with us." Lilly said there are several major problems of adjustment for an exchange student. "The dating procedure is entirely different.

Now I am free to make my own choice; at home I was not. I also had to adjust to a new system of study, the different way of dressing, the reaction and behavior of other people and the problem of handling my own money. I have also been faced with doing my share of housework; in Colombia we have servants." Selection of exchange students is based on scholarship and interest. The students are expected to attend class regularly, take quizzes and exams, Residence Hall Officer Begin Conference Today Bill Purdy (UP) said he agreed with Blackwell that legislative proceedure should not be circumvented if possible, but he felt the Viet Nam resolution was an exception. "This is an issue which has been before many student bodies," Purdy said.

"Many students have told me that a statement should be made by the legislature supporting the U. S. policy in Viet Nam." Speaker Britt Gordon left, in the chair and warned the body that "we may be setting a dangerous procedent tonight which we might later regret." He said several resolutions-which he termed "irrelevant" to the body's normal business had been passed during the past legislative session. "Every decision you make here is going to mold the future shape of this body," Gordon said. Immediately after Gordon's speech, Blackwell moved successfully to postpone the bill indefinatly.

Former speaker of the legislature and University Party floor leader Don Carson was formally installed as an appointed representative for Craige Hall. Addressing the body on privilege, Carson called for an end to partisan political battling and urged Student Government to get down to work on campus problems.

Erickson said yesterday that tickets were still available for He said the current capacity of the auditorium 7,000. When the temporary seats, which are supposed to be ready Dec. 11, are finished seating will be boosted to Zf 600. Students are seating in all sections of the auditorium. The reserved tickets have been issued on a first come, first serve basis.

In the future the policy may be changed so that tickets can be picked up at the door with the presentation of student identification. Erickson said half of the parking lot in front of Car-michael will be reserved for people from out of town. He said he hopes students who live close will walk to the auditorium and help cut down on the traffic problem. Radio Petition One hundred seventy five names were added to the petition for the establishment of a board of directors for a campus carrier current radio station. The names were collected in Morrison nau inursaay lit by John Stupak, a petition nr0oni7or anH Mor- rison residents.

The new total of signatures on the petition is 450, according to Stupak. A bill for the establishment of the board of directors was defeated by the Student Legislature last month. Supporters of the radio have tried to gain 1250 signatures which would guarantee a vote by the student body on whether the original bill will be passed. A financial bill for the radio station died in committee, but both radio bills have been reintroduced in the Student Legislature by University Party Floor Leader George Ingram. "We would like to reach our goal of 1250 names by next Thursday's Student Legislature session, when the bills for the financing and board of directors will be brought up in committee," Stupak said.

"If the legislature again ignores the demands of the student body by defeating these bills, we will have an immediate way to force the legisla-. tors to recognize the board of directors bill," he said. "The petition will be presented to Student Body President Paul Dickson for validation this Friday if he said. Stupak and his supporters will return to Morrison and Ehringhaus Halls Monday night in hope of completing the petition. defeated Virginia the tag is justified," said Coach Smith.

Student Is Not Guilty A UNC student trying to get his date to her dorm on time was found not guilty of a Campus Code violation by the MHC, which decided Thursday that the two accidentally fell asleep in the boy's apartment. The couple had returned from a weekend trip home and had gone to his fraternity house before going in; but lost track of the time and stayed past the coed's closing hour. Realizing she was late, the coed expressed fear of entering the dorm.

The boy took her to his apartment and vainly tired to persuade her to go back to her dorm. They fell asleep and didn't wake up until morning. The coed was apprehended when she returned at 8:45 a.m. The Council found the boy innocent because of his "posi tive, concrete attempts to see that his date" entered her dorm. i He said the University ad- By LYNNE HARVEL DTH Staff Writer One hundred foreign students have left their homes for one year to study the customs and culture of the United States.

Lilly Rothsteim is one of two from Colombia, South America, who came to UNC as a special student. While participating in the exchange program, Lilly, who would be a sophomore in Colombia, has formed opinions of the program and of American life. "The purpose of the program," Lilly said, "is to create better understanding. The program offers opportunities to meet new people, customs and culture. New ideas are presented which contrast with the old ideas, and we will Three Klansmen Convicted In Ala, "This resolution is something the people of the state can look to as a sign of student responsibility," Thomas said.

Thomas's move was imme- -diately criticized by Hugh Blackwell (SP) and other legislators who felt it wasn't, legislature's place to discuss foreign policy or to circumvent normal legislative pro- cedure. BlackwelPs objection to im- mediate consideration was defeated by the body in a roll-call vote of 27 to 13. In the debate that followed, Blackwell said the resolution's supporters were "forcing the issue on the body for the sake of expediency. "In passing this bill or even considering it we are violating two proceedures which were enacted to strengthen the legislative process of this body," he said. He cited a long effort in legislature to compel members to submit bills to committee by normal process rather than introducing them on the floor for immediate consideration by the entire body.

"I also do not feel that members of this body are elected by their constituents to express opinions on U. S. foreign policy," Blackwell said. "This is a matter which does not directly affect the student body." He said consideration of issues which do not directly affect students is the reason why the National Student Association has lost many member schools within the past few years. "I object to consideration of this resolution not because I object to the U.

S. Viet Nam policy, but because I don't feel this should be an issue before this body," Blackwell said. The music Is being played every hoar. DTH Photos By Ernest Robl. By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Political Writer A resolution supporting United States policy in Viet Nam was indefinitely postponed by Student Legislature Thursday night by a vote of 22 to 15.

The resolution was introduced by Neil Thomas (UP), who sought immediate consideration for the bill rather than sending it through committee. The" bill cited enforcement of U. S. Viet Nam policy by the student bodies of other universities and the recent Thanksgiving message to U.S. soldiers in Viet Nam, which was signed by over 5,000 UNC students, as reasons why such a resolution would be passed Iby the legislature.

Lilly urged students to apply. "A year in another country under a program of this kind is not just a pleasure trip.

The conference is being sponsored by Student Govern ment which is attempting to reorganize residence hall activities and better acquaint stu dent officers with their part in residence hall programs. Student Body President Paul Dickson urged all leaders to attend the conference today and tomorrow.

The convocation will be held from 2:15 to 6:15 this afternoon and from 2 to 5:15 Sunday afternoon. Johnson quickly pronounced the sentence in his rapid-fire voice. When, he asked Thomas if he had anything to say, tne defendant said, "No." Their attorney said the verdicts will be appealed. Appeal bonds of $10,000 each were set by the judge and the Klansmen were led away by a federal marshal to begin serving their sentences. They will be eligible for parole after serving one-third of the 10 years.

It was the second guilty verdict in two days by white juries in trials growing out of Alabama racial incidents. A jury at Anniston convicted a white man of murder yesterday in the slaving of a Negro and set the penalty at 10 years in prison. In Washington, Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzenback said the convictions were "A victory for equal justice in the South." He said, however, that the Justice Department will continue working on proposed legislation aimed at insuring equal justice by Southern juries.

The prosecutor, Assistant Atty. Gen. John Doar, said of the jury's decision: "The jury did its duty." Defense Attorney Arthur J. Hanes, the former Birmingham mayor who had successfully defended Wilkins in his second murder trial, obviously was shaken and surprised at the verdicts. MONTGOMERY, (AP) Three Ku Klux Kansmen were convicted Friday by a white jury of criminal conspiracy and sentenced by a federal judge to 10 years imprisonment in the slaying of a civil rights worker.

"In my opinion," District Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. told the jury, "That was the only verdict you could reach in this case and reach a fair and proper verdict." A short time later, Johnson imposed the 10-year sentences the maximum prison terms upon the three stunned defendants: Collie Leroy Wilkins, 22, of Fairfield, and Eugene Thomas, 42, and William Orville Eaton, 41, both of Bessemer. Wilkins, a stocky and crew-cut former mechanic, had been acquitted earlier by a state court jury of murder in the March 25 slaying of Viola Gregg Liuzzo of Detroit. The three Klansmen were convicted under an 1877 statute of conspiring to violate the civil rights of Mrs.

Luizzo and other participants in a Selma-to Montgomery march climaxing a violence marked Negro voting rights drive. When the judge asked the men if they had anything to say before sentence was imposed, Wilkins and Eaton each replied, "I'm innocent of the charge." v3 Jlim A I 1 GM EMPLOYEES Steve Lyons and Bnx WUlIs tie up a roof support for a loudspeaker, and Seth Barrow places a Christ.
