T-MINUS 30 SECONDS AND COUNTING. SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON, (AP) With high spirits, Gemini 7 astronauts Frank Boraan and James Love 11 dashed into space Saturday. They flew formation with a spent rocket, faced a lingering power problem, but pressed toward a world record 14-days in space. The problem was a troublesome fuel cell light that showed "on" indicating a problem in the electricity producing fuel cell. It preoccupied most of the earth-to-space talk in the early stages of the flight while engineers on the ground decided what to do.

The electrical usage was cut down but not because of the fuel cell problem, flight officials indicated. But early word from flight officials was that the problem was not expected to endanger the 14-day mission. T-MINUS 20 T-MINUS 10 BLASTOFF. B130PCS 43H0 BULLETIN SU3H0H0 BULLETIN Miller Heels managed three baskets and a six point lead. But the lead held.

William Mary pushed in two foul shots and a field goal to cut it to 6-4, but could never get any closer. A long swisher by Johnny Yokley at the half-time buzzer put the Tar Heels in for good 39-29. The Indians could never get closer than nine points in the second half. A Lewis swisher, a Miller bucket and the Tar Heels played it cool the rest of the way. By this time Tom Gauntlett was around to add his offensive hand hitting six for eight from the floor and two for two from the foul line for 14 points.

When this trio occasionally faltered, John Yokley was a-round to grab a loose ball-center Bob Bennett blocked a shot then grabbed a rebound or a Ray Hassell, Donnie Moe, or Mark Mirken came off the bench to carry the load. William Mary coach Bill Chambers was, at best, discouraged with the loss. He had seen his club tear apart a good Virginia group Wednesday night. "We were beaten by a great ball club tonight," he said. "A great team and two great individuals that's the story." The Tar Heels, who hit 59 of their shots in the Clemson loss, continued their fine shooting from the floor.

Carolina hit on 62 of 101 attempts for 61.4. But one shining factor indeed came in the ball-handling department. The Tar Heels, who committed 27 errors in the o- pener, were charged with none tonight.

(Note the time signa-The Daily Tar Heel office. The bulletin an- ture at the bottom.) Orbit For something less than 17 minutes, the space rookies flew close to the 19-foot second stage of the Titan 2 rocket that shot them into space, a preview of a bigger formation flight to come. The counMown and blast off were perfect and right on schedule. Gemini 7 cut through the murky Florida sky over Cape Kennedy at 2:30 p.m. (EST).

It entered its first orbit at 2:36 p.m. (EST). "You're right down the slot, Gemini 7," was the radio report from Earth.

the clouds were thinner and higher. NASA officials said the weather was not ideal, but "acceptable." During the half hour we sat in the stands waiting for the shot, periodic loud speaker announcements indicated that everything was going well. After passing the "critical period" at -minus-eight min utes, there seemed to be no fear among lhtpectat6r that there would be any trouble. The final countdown began and at T-minus-5 seconds the first smoke appeared around the launching pad. At T-minus-seven flames were visible at the rocket's base.

At blastoff a huge billow of orange smoke appeared and Gemini 7 was on its way. Its roar was almost painfully loud, for a few seconds; then the craft was out of sight in about two minutes. The parents of Frank Borman were among the spectators, and though grinning broadly, they were two of the calmest people there. At 4:30 p.m. the Titan rocket for Gemini 6 mission scheduled in eight days was already being taken to pad 19 which Gemini 7 had left only hours before.

The Lewis-Miller combo struck for 56 points and 20 rebounds as the Tar Heels disposed of a William Mary club rated pre-season conference favorites in the Southern Conference. Lewis had the point edge with 34 points to 22 for Miller. Miller had the rebound edge 16-4.

But by no means was the Carolina show a two-man affair. Defense was a big factor and the Tar Heels clung to the Indians at every turn. The Tar Heels, victimized by a full-court press in their opening loss to Clemson Wednesday night, pulled the same trick on the Indians. Repeated Indian offensive tries never got off the ground as the alert Tar Heel defenders broke for the ball then broke for the score. The Tar Heels never trailed.

Although the offensive show was slow getting under way, the problem was even greater for William Mary. The Indians could not scratch during the first four minutes of the game while the Tar 111 that refreshes, as he stops and of last night's tussle with To apply for VISTA a student may speak to a representative on campus and receive an ap- plication.

Cupreme Court Jus tice Tom Clark, inspecting the campus as a possible site for annual judicial conventions, was honored at a special ceremony at Morrison College yesterday.

Residence College Governor Byron McCoy presented Clark with a framed diploma making him honorary Chief Justice of the residence college judiciary. Both McCoy and Housemaster Chuck Longino signed the document. Clark is considering the University of North Carolina as the site of an annual convention of state and federal judges. If Chapel Hill is chosen for the gathering, those attending would live in Morrison and attend sessions at the Institute of Government Following the presentation at Morrison, Clark continued his tour of the campus, including Chase Cafeteria. Clark's party was accompanied by Dean of Men William G.

Long, Dean J. D. Phillips of the Law School, and other representatives of the University and the Research Triangle. The Supreme Court Justice and his party went to the top of the new ten-story residence hall for a view of the campus and to look at some of the students rooms. Clark said he was impressed with the facilities abailable, particularly with the proximity of Chase and the easy access to the Institute of Government.

The text of the document presented to Clark read: "Notice of Appointment-This is to certify that on the fourth volunteer is evaluated by a VISTA staff and placed into one of four basic areas: urban, rural, migrant, or Indian. Based on his choice, he is sent to a training center in an area where he will be taught with an emphasis on the practical aspect of the job. "Only two weeks out of the six are spent in the classroom," Miss Selfridge said. Following training, volunteers are placed in projects, usually in twos. The projects may be sponsored by any type of group, but the group must ask for VISTA volunteers before they are sent.

Religious, communi ty action, state aid, 4-H groups arje some examples of groups enlisting VISTA aid. The volunteers work under the direction of the local group, but usually volunteers "See their need and try to fill it," Agerton said. Any public or private agency may ask for VISTA aid. Most work done by VISTA comes under teaching, in a broad sense, or counseling. VISTA has groups working in Craven and Durham, in North Carolina.

Recruiters for VISTA will set up a booth in Y-Court to- morrow to hand out applica- tions for the "domestic peace corps" group. Two VISTA representatives, Barbara Selfridge and Rex Agertcn, will man the booths, through Fridav.
