He de scribed them as examples of “raw g and naked power.” L Making his third campaign stop ” in North Carolina in less than a |ieek, the Republican presidential n< minee said also, in a prepared Ipeech: “I challenge my opponent, |ne interim President Lyndon Baines Johnson, to face the issues. I dare him to face me before the _—^world. I demand of him—debate.” With this indication, H. L. Heaton, director of admissions and registrar, said the present school policy of not having Saturday classes will be continued. “But,” he noted, “the 1965-66 university bulletin has not been completed, and I have not re ceived any notice of change.” Corps intramurals are scheduled to open Oct. 5. Intramural con tests will be scheduled so Wednes days will be left open for drills. “If this can be accomplished, drills will be conducted on this day,” noted Hotchkiss. “But if things cannot be worked out, then Saturday drills will have to start the week of Oct. 5,” Hotchkiss added. The present school policy is to conduct most classes on week days so the Corps can drill on Satur days. Last week cadet units drilled Thursday, departing from the us ual Saturday practice. Hotchkiss said week day drills will continue at least for the next two weeks until the intramural schedule is released. This week’s drill is also sche duled for Thursday, Hotchkiss added.
