His topic will be "Sander Vanocur's Washington Report." A discussion on women in politics will follow the lecture. Vanocur's experience in jour nalism began after his Army service in Berlin when he was on the staff of the Manchester Guardian and simultaneously did weekly commentary for the North American service of the BBC.

Returning to the United States, he was on the city staff of the New York Times until 1957, at which time he joined NBC as a member of the network's Washington staff. .. .4 r " t .4 , } Two 0mb BY MARI MASENG Two students were appointed to the office of ombudsmen yesterday morning, bringing the total number of students in the office to four. Melziner "Mel" Stover and Skip Harden, both juniors, took office Wednesday after having their names submitted by student body President Leigh Leventis, ap proved by President Thomas F. Jones and being interviewed by present ombudsmen. The office of ombudsman had been rocked in recent weeks by the - resignation of two of its members. In February, Mike Grier resigned his post as university ombudsman to devote his time to his office of university counsel. About one week later, Eileen 1 Berlin resigned as student om- I budsperson to devote more time to her duties as SGA secretary of student welfare. "We agreed they would make a great addition, and they are now in service," said Dr. James G. Holland, faculty representative. Joe McCulloch and Harrison Heller I are continuing to serve as om- 4 budsmen, although McCullough is a senior and will be leaving after I this semester. All ombudsmen, students and i faculty alike, will work in a team approach for solving the problems < brought to their office, according E to Holland. "Any one of us may handle a i case. However, the majority of cases are handled by the student- ( s," Holland said. "Our main in- ( I;1 udsmen A 'We fild the greatest serrice we render is im provin g comunl U ic a t ion.' -James G. Holland :erest is seeing that substantial justice is done in the case where a erson feels he's been wronged." According to Holland, there is no imit on the length of the students' erms. "They can stay in office as ong as they're interested, and !ould conceivably go on to raduate school," Holland said. "We are the heart of the Jniversity. In a University as arge as this one there is a ten lency to become a number instead )f an individual. The important hing is that the program is for the mntire university," Holland said. Holland believes the majority of he problems brought to his office iave to do with a lack of com nunication. "We find the greatest ervice we render is improving ommunication. Once it is !stablished between the two rimary parties, the problem isually resolves itself," he said.

The ombudsman program at arolina is two years old, but 4olland has recently come into )ffice and is still chairman of the nternational Stydies Department. "I was appointed by President Jones to be ombudsman after I was nterviewed by the former student )ody president. There was a lot of ;tudent government influence in ny appointment.
