I News-roundup Presidential advisor Henry Kissinger and Chinese Com munist leader Mao Tse-tung met for two hours in Peking Saturday. The content of the talks was undisclosed, but they were described as "a frank and wide-ranging conversation in an unconstrained atmosphere." Kissinger first met the communist leader during Nixon's trip to China. Kissinger will leave china Monday and travel to Tokyo for conferences there. The four-party Joint Military Commission Saturday urged an end to fighting that continues in Vietnam. Saigon has reported its troops have been ordered to comply, but 187 truce violations were reported in the country Sunday (Viet namese time). American prisoners held in Laos will not be freed until there is a cease-fire there, according to the Communist Pathet Lao. The United States has listed more than 300 men as missing in Laos, and officials believed these prisoners would be freed in Hanoi under terms of the Vietnamese cease-fire. Negotiations for a cease-fire in Laos have been underway for the past week between Prince Souvanna Phouma, the prime minister and the negotiator for the Com munist Pathet Lao. Almost $2 million worth of hashish, 408 pounds, was seized near Florence Saturday, and two men were arrested. A cargo shipment from Germany was found to contain the drugs after a routine check in Charleston. Two men were allowed to pick up the shipment and traveled a route to Columbia, Sumter and Florence where they were arrested when they stopped to examine the contents. Rep. W. J. Bryan Dorn, D-S.C., said Russia and China, not the United States, should help rebuild North Vietnam. Dorn also praised President Nixon for arranging the with drawal of a proposal to reduce disability benefits for vete rans injured in combat. A bill allowing newsmen to protect their informational sources without fear of presecution is scheduled to be consi dered by the South Carolina House of Representatives Tues day. Rep. George Dean Johnson, R-Spartanburg, author of the bill, said it would protect newsmen from civil suits in testimony before courts, grand juries, state agencies and legislative committees. He said without this law, many news stories would go unreported.

Franchot Brown, a Columbia lawyer, is the youngest of the candidates. He left the law school in 1969 to study poverty law at the University of Pen nsylvania, then returned to practice in South Carolina. A Columbia native, Brown said his youth can give the coun cil "a broader base of objectiv ity" and a chance to see issues from new prospectives. He would be the youngest council man and the only lawyer. He said, "One thing I'll never do is look at a person below 21 and treat him like a child." The city council and the mayor of Columbia should make a serious effort to work with the University, Brown said. "We're depending on the University as much as the University depends on the Senators By EARNIE KASTNER Gamecock Staff Writer Changing the format of teacher evaluation charts cur rently is being studied by the academic committee of the Stu dent Senate, according to Sen. Mary L. Myers, committee chairman. "I don't feel the evaluations in the past have been too helpful in telling the students what they want to know about the differ ent professors," Myers said. The way the evaluations are set up right now, Myers added, "they do not serve the purpose I feel they were intended to serve." Most of the students at Carolina, according to Myers, do not know that the evaluations are available or if they do, the students do not know where to pick them up. Information con cerning these charts can be obtained at the student govern ment office. Right now, according to Myers, the charts tell the stu dents only how many A's, B's or C's the professor gives and what students think of individual instructors. "I do not feel that this is adequate information for a stu dent to make a qualified deci sion concerning a professor,' Myers said, "I would like for them (the evaluation charts) tc NOTICE l'art-ti me people for Neat, depenidable, hard working.

The committee would like to see the questions changed," Myers said, so the students could learn more about the teaching habits of the profes sors, their personalities and their philosophies. Stickers to be enforced Enforcement of bicycle stic kers becomes effective March 1, campus police said last week. Warning tickets will be issued for bicycle regulation viola tions, Chief Harrelson said, "but we may go to $3 tickets in trying to get them to registar." Regulations for the two wheelers are covered in a five page pamphlet published by the police and include registration with the Motor-Vehicle Regist ration Division of the university and the secural of a registra tions sticiser ($.50). Also each bike must have a horn or bell, effective brakes, lights for night riding and the pilot is required to use hand sig nals, ride in single file in the street or designated bicycle paths and yield to pedestrians in cross walks. Double-riding is also prohibited. Parking must take place in designated racks and each bicy cle must be locked.

He also helped organize the Association of Afro-American Students. Brown directed the first voter registration drive in Richland County in 1962. Brown, 29, attended Booker T. Washington High School and Howard University. He is vice chairman of the Greater Colum bia Community Relations Coun cil, and he serves on various committees including the USC Opportunities Scholars Prog ram, the Public Safety Planning Commission and the Greater Columbia Chamber of Com merce.

Heneberry III. aluations So far the academic commit tee has not come up with any ideas as to how to do this, according to Myers. The academic committee also would like to make the charts more easily accessible to all the students, Myers said. "I don't know if the student senate handled all the past efforts or not," Myers said, "I think they were helped at least one year by the College of Arts and Sciences." The committee hopes the mechanical techniques of pre paring the evaluation charts will not be changed, Myers said. The past charts have been made using computer printouts. Now Myers said it does not look like the teacher evaluation charts can be changed adequately and be distributed before the end of the semester. New ideas have to be evaluated, Myers said, the ques tionaires have to be prepared, then the responses have to be collected and combined, and there is just not enough time to do this.. Studies on the changes will continue, Myers said, and we hope to have a new system ready for use next semester. Easy To Open Gamecock Charge Account, *10 (Limit) BRITTON S
