VOTE OF CONFIDENCE:

North Irish leader

Trial begins over Algiers motel incident'

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP)I
r--Prime Minister Terence O'Neill
weathered his toughest political
test in six years in office yester-
day, winning an affirmation of
confidence from the Ulster Parlia-
ment for his handling of four
months of civil rights strife.
The confidence motion, ap-
proved without formal vote after
an amendment critical of O'Neill
was defeated 31-3, was expected
to enable the prime minister to
overcome any challenge to his
leadership of the Unionist Party,
The party, split by the resigna-
tions of four ministers from posts
in the O'Neill Cabinet, was ex-
pected to meet later in the week.

doesn't have teachers or students.
People with common interests get
together and explore any subject
they choose.
At the school's mass meeting
last night in Newman Center,
groups were set up to investigate
areas from science fiction and
witchcraft to politics and econ-
omics.
"We think the University's ed-
ucation system is wrong-we have
a better way to learn," said one
Fee School organizer.}
Someone asked how ten kids
could learn about a subject if
none of them knew a lot about it
"If you had the opportunity to
take a course in witchcraft, which
is itself very unlikely, the teach-
er would have the course com-
°letely structured before you ever
got there. You would be learning
what the teacher wanted to teach
-not' necessarily what you were
interested in.
"The teacher designs the course
because he says; he knows a lot
more about witchcraft than you
do, and he probably does. He ma:
have read every book ever writtei
on the subject; but he may hav
never met a witch in his life."

periodic violence between Prot-

Northern Ireland's Catholics,
outnumbered by Protestants 3-1,
have demonstrated to protest al-

and qualifications for voting in

Earlier yesterday, police took
two top Protestant leaders extre-

accused of inflaming the dispute.
