Appalacman ^Boonej-beveral months ago,
three spots on the cheer-leading squad became
vacant. A group of black students demanded
that the vacancies be filled by blacks. Con
fusion existed regarding the method to fill
the vacancies, some claiming administrators
agreed to black demands. SGA President Mike
Broome reportedly called the actions of the
blacks "barbaric and uncivilized," but later
said he was referring to threats blacks al
legedly made against the cheerleaders.
Following editorials in The Appalachian,
several letters to the editor, and other re
lated developments, a solution evidently
has been found. An administration/student
committee will supervise tryouts for the
vacant cheer!eading positions, and elections
are to be held.
East Carolina(Greenville)-Halloween night,
Oct. 31, riots erupted in downtown Greenville
resulting in the arrest of 57 people, 30 of
whom were ECU students. Twenty-seven were
arrested for failing to disperse, 29 for in
citing a riot, and one for damage to personal
property. Thirteen people were injured,'
eight of them ECU students.
According to the Fountainhead, an ECU coed
left her dorm about midnight to see what the
commotion was downtown. "In less than an
hour she lay in a bloody puddle on the side
walk of Reed St. Her nose had been smashed
by a tear gas canister."
An SGA investigative committee recommended
the removal of the city police chief. The
ECU Student Legislature adopted the committee
recommendations with one negative vote. Mem
bers of the American Civil Liberties Union
have been consulted about the possibl*e viola
tion of the rights of those involved in the
Halloween night disturbance.
N. C. State(Raleigh)-A mathematics pro
fessor was recently arrested while jogging on
the track during N. C. State football prac
tice. The professor was asked to leave the
track area after being told it was closed,
he refused, and was arrested. Acting Chancel
lor Rigney ordered the charges dropped.
Both student and faculty Senates have been
OSNK
Studying a proposal to fence the track area.
A graduate student in Landscape Architecture
suggested fencing the area may require a le
gal ruling from the city attorney. The Stu
dent Senate, several weeks ago, passed a bill
opposing the fencing of the track area. The
Senate re-affirmed its feelings that "the
right to run on the track is a basic right
of the student."
UNCC(Charlotte)-A student referendum is
scheduled for this week on a new proposed
student constitution. The new constitution
has been drafted because the present one has
not been approved by the Chancellor. Changes
have been made to make the new document more
in compliance with the Chancellor's desires
"as well as better for the student body as a
whole."
Changes in the new constitution include
the elimination of the Vice-President because
"presently all the Vice-President does .is
chair the legislature." Under the new docu
ment, the Legislature will select its own
speaker. Also, if the new constitution pass
es, the President will have the power to
freeze funds, "preferably in matters of
'political controversey'."

UNCA's Student Gov

to become involved in
community activities
in several unique ways.
The S. G. Volunteer

Volunteer activi

The S. G. Volunteer
Program, which began
this summer, already
has about five stu

is presently pursuing
the possibilities of
class credit for the
volunteers. The com

volunteers to assist
in these worthy pro

Senate Fails
To Muster
Quorum
For the second
time this year, the
Student Senate could
not muster a quorum
for one of its regu
lar meetings. Thus,
the Nov. 20 meeting
of the Senate, at•
which Dean of Students
Deason was to speak,
was not held.
Perhaps appropriate
ly, those Senators
not showing for the
Nov. 20 meeting miss
ed the turkey-shaped
cookies provided by
the Summit staff.
During the wait
for Senators to arrive.
Dean Deason revealed
plans for an overhaul
of dormitory regula
tions and policies.
Deason said a commit
tee of Dean of Men
Parsons, Associate
Dean of Students Wut-
schel, Dormitory Co-
ordinatior Gilpin, and
himself, had been ap
proved by the Chancel
lor.
Deason said the two
dormitory Senators,
Randy Kindiey and
Blake Hobbs, would
serve in "an advisory
capacity." He said
their responsibilities
would include polling .
students about their
attitudes toward dorm
regulations.
According to Deason,
the reason for the reg
ulation update is to
"write a more contemp
orary document." He
said guidelines set
by the former Board
of Trustees of the
state university system
call 25&-0200, Ex. 265|, are outdated.
