WW.'. udget By WAYNE KING The outlook for UNC's budget requests, specifically those for faculty salaries and an under graduate library-student union, appears much better than two months ago, an interview with Davis Young, chairman of UNC's committee on state affairs, indi cated yesterday. The Board of Higher Educa tion's cutbacks have been super seded by the recommendations of the state advisory budget commission and those recom mendations are more nearly in line with the budget originally proposed by the administration here. "I am greatly encouraged by the progress that has been made to date," Young said, comment ing on the present state of the budget. - - According to Young, "there seems to be a general awareness of educational need in Raleigh this is reflected in Governor Sanford's 'New Day program for the public school. We are a state institution and stand to B Campus May Participate In TV Debate BY LINDA CRAVOTTA The possibility of having a "Sevier-Harriss" television de bate similar to the Nixon-Kennedy debates is causing much comment among student poli ticians. The idea originated at the Di Phi debate last week with a suggestion made by Mary Jeanne Reid, graduate student in political science. "I have not been approached about participating in such a debate," stated Bill Harriss, Student Party presidential can didate. "However, I would be more than willing to meet my opponent publicly to thrash out the issues Of this campaign." University Party candidate, Bob Sevier, has declined to make a statement until he has conferred with the University Party leaders. David Grigg, president of stu dent government stated: "I believe the televised de bates to be an excellent means by which students may see both candidates. Had this debate idea been popular last year, I would have been happy to have taken part in it." English, drama, or radio-TV majors interested in working for honors in writing may join a weekly seminar program which provides guidance and criticism. Members of the class must have a project for the year. Currently three students are working on novels, one on a 3-act play and two on TV scripts. In the past a number of stu dents have had work published, and two novels resulting from last year's class are now with agents. Earlier this year the Play makers produced a one-act play, the work of a current student, Frank Murphy. Advisors to the group are John Ehle, RTVMP; Tom Pat terson, Dramatic Art, and Miss Jesse Rehder, English. The course gives three hour credit for the year, and can be dropped at any time without av.v.wAv.n'awav AT PRESENT Outlook gain, from this program." . Young pointed out that the recommendations of the ad visory budget commission have taken "an obvious priority." Over half of the general fund appropriations' and bond issues for capital improvements are slated for education. The state aaffoirs committee chairman felt that "this emphasis on the academic welfare of our state has heightened the realization that the university must be sup ported with all available re sources. "This apparent consciousness of educational goals should enable the University to pro cure a greater percentage of its budget requests than in past years," he added. The. two phases of the budget controversy which have most interested Carolina students have been faculty salaries and the undergraduate library-stu dent union building. The University has requested $3.6 million for faculty salary increases for the biennium; the' JRjres idewt ties I Jonathan Yardley, editor of The Daily Tar Heel said: "I think that a debate of this type would be a very good idea because I feel that in recent elections the most important issues have been kept in the background. "Instead, we urge issues such as laundry machines in the dorms, quiz files, how much it would cost to get shirts washed . . . but nobody has pressured the candidates to stand up and speak out on some of the vital issues; issues which in their im portance will be transcended years later. "The honor system, fraterni ties, student-faculty relations and the necessity for increased stress on academics are the is sues which need our attention. "I think that such a debate, if the candidates are willing to state publicly the full extent of their feelings, could be of tre mendous value in bringing these issues to the fore. "I certainly hope that these debates can be arranged." It is the general consensus of opinion among UP and SP lead- Open penalty. Interested students may con tact Miss Rehder at 942-3827 any morning. INTERVIEWS The Bi-Pariisan Selections Board will interview candi dates for Men's Honor Coun cil and the Student Council from 3-5:30 p.m. Wednesday ihrough Friday in the GM TV Lounge. Persons inter ested in being interviewed should, sign up for an ap pointment in the Lounge.

Commenting on this recom mended appropriation and its meaning, Young stated "Of course, we are hopeful that the general assembly will move to restore the difference, but we are still in a better position than we were a few months ago and certainly better off than we were two years ago, when we got an even bigger cut in requests." The requests for an under graduate library-student union totaled about $2.6 million. The commission recommended that $1.6 million be placed in a bond issue. The remaiinng million would be self-liquidating, probably by an increase in student fees. Asked whether he thought the general assembly would pass favorably on this recommenda tion, and whether UNC would get a union, Young stated that he "honestly felt we are going to get a student union." Map&fw is - ers and supporters of the tele vision debates that they should be held along the identical lines of the Nixon-Kennedy debates. This would entail broadcast ing the program direct from the studio with no audience pres ent, having a panel of non-partisan journalists to ask the questions and putting a time limith on the amount of speak ing time each candidate is al lowed a question. The possibility is also being discussed of having the vice presidential candidates avail able for answering questions pertaining to them. Opening For GMAB President Disclosed BY LOUISE CASGRAIN Students interested in apply ing for the positions of presi-i dent and secretary of Graham Memorial Activities Board have been urged to fill in application blanks available at the informa tion desk in the student union and turn them in Monday. "I feel that this is a real op portunity for imaginative lead ership," GMAB President R. V. Fulk said yesterday. "I would like to encourage anyone who is interested in serving in either of these two capacities to come down before Monday and apply for one of these positions." GMAB presents such pro grams as the Petite Musicales, the Petite Dramatiques, the free flicks series arid the GM Series which brought The Weavers, Marcel Marceau and Sound and Fury to campus this year. ' In addition GMAB produces the calendar, offers a current affairs series and presents week end entertainment in the Ren dezvous Room. The new president will be in charge of appointing commit-, tee chairmen for the various committees. He also will select a presidential assistant, replac ing the iormer position of vice president this year. Duties of the secretary of GMAB are serving as secretary Gas He went on to say "in the past when we have requested a union, ' we have been turned down almost immediately in Ra leigh. This year, we have gone past a big hurdle in passing through the advisory commis sion on the budget. "A number of other state- supported colleges have also impressed lawmakers with needs for student unions on their var ious campuses. I have no rea son whatsoever to believe the appropriations committee of the general "assembly will overrule our request. "They realize the request both for an undergraduate li brary, and a student union is a valid one." Asked whether student sup port for the proposed budget had been a factor in deciding the outcome of the advisory budget commission's recom mendations, Young stated: "If we do get an increase in faculty salaries and a new library union, it will be for two rea sons. First, because the admin istration stuck behind us all the way, and secondly because stu dents have given their loyal support to the idea. "This same support will en courage -the general assembly to pass, or increase , the advis ory commission's recommenda tions. "There is a lull at present until the bill comes before the appropriations committee, some tidme in a few months. "However, this is not the time to cease our efforts, as students, to come as close as we possibly can to getting our requests," Young concluded.
