Frosh Claim Untrue

Orientation Commission
Chairman Bob Wilson told
Women's Residence Council
Tuesday night that "at no
time was the freshman wom
en's co - ordinator excluded
from commission meetings."
"As an ex officio member
she was entitled to attend all
meetings and to vote with the
commission," he said. "If
there was any break - down
in communications, it wasn't
necessarily the commission's
fault."
His statement followed a
complaint brought by Melissa
Perry, freshman women's co
ordinator, who told WRC at
its last session that she was
not kept adequately informed
by the commission this fall.
Wilson stated that Miss Per
ry had taken charge of train
ing counselors to work with
freshmen a responsibility
she did not really need to
shoulder, he said. According
to Wilson, the women's co - or
dinator was supposed to train
all counselors.
The confusion resulted from
a misunderstanding between
WRC and the orientation com
mission as to who handled or
ientation for freshmen wom
en, Wilson said. He stated that
he opposed having freshamn
co - ordinator for that rea
son, but told WRC he did see
the need for a WRC represen
tative "to make sure orienta
tion to women's rules is car
ried out correctly".
"If this is what WRC wants,
I'm willing to put a rules co
ordinator on the staff," he
said.
WRC told Wilson that a
Reagan Leads
California Polls
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)
-A statewide poll showing Gov.
Edmund G. Brown trailing
Republican Ronald Reagan
by seven percentage points
has generated optimism in the
GOP contender's camp.
Regan's state campaign ch
airman, Philip Battaglia, said
translating the bi-partisan
field poll's findings into votes
means "It's between a 600,000
and 700,000 lead for Reagan."
Battaglia predicted Reagan
would carry three of Southern
California's most populous
counties and also would "carry
the north." t x
Brown, asked Tuesday about
the poll which showed him
slipping in popularity from a
month before, said:
"I don't like it. I have the
toughest fight of my life on
my hands."
Brown, nevertheless, said
his race with Regan "is going
right down to the wire." He
also noted the poll was taken
Oct. 1-6, or just after Negro
rioting in San Francisco forc
ed him to call out the National
Guard. He said this may have
influenced the results of the
sampling.
Regan also appeared to be
referring to the poll Tuesday
when he told a convention of
Republican women in Los An
geles "We're way out in front.
We're going to stay there.
We're going to win."

freshman co - ordinator is
needed throughout the year to
guide a continuing counseling
program for freshmen wom
en, after the end of orienta
tion week.
Wilson said he did not dis
pute WRC's need for a co-or-dinator.
"I'm saying it causes
confusion on our staff, and we
don't particularly need the po
sition." He suggested appointing a
committee of the co - ordin
ators and representatives from
the WRC to "straighten out
the problem of who has the au
thority to do what."

YAF Debate
Plans Made
The Carolina Chapter of
Young Americans for Free
dom announced a plan, "Free
dom Forum," at an organiza
tional meeting Tuesday night.
YAF is a nation-wide con
servative poUticaLorganization
which has existed since 1960.
Freedom Forum is a product
of the national office of Young
Americans for Freedom, and
college chapters across the
nation will have debates on
the same subject.
The series will be debates
between the left and right.
The debaters will be UNC stu
dents and facalty.
"The essence of this pro
gram," commented Chairman
Doug Stanton, is that, while
the left talks about free speech,
the YAF is going to do some
thing constructive about it.':
Plans were also made tc
distribute free copies of "The
American Cause" by Professor
Russell Kirk.
Officers elected at the meet
vng were: Chairman Doug
Stanton, Sophomore Honors
Student; Vice-Chairman Leon

student; Secretary Lanny

closed for the ceremonies.
Old East never looked lovelier or older. It was to
be made a national landmark and its occupants
grouped around the Southwest corner and looked
pleased.
Across McCorkle Place, the occupants of Old West
perhaps out of jealousy hung out a fifty-foot sign
saying "National landmark my arse."
The sign lasted until 10:50, when Chief Beaumont
had it "severed".
There was a modest crowd of students assembled

like longevity stripes on the arms.

"UNC is the product of his
tory, and its contemporary
spirit reflects the fusion of in
tellectual and social forces
both from within and outside
the University world," Chan
cellor J. Carlyle Sitterson said
yesterday during University
Day ceremonies.
Speaking before a capacity
audience in Memorial Hall on
the 173rd anniversary of the
laying of the cornerstone of
Old East Dormitory, Sitterson
said that "the University must
continue to measure up in all
ways to the high standards of
the best universities any
where." - Sitterson said, "The fact
that the modern university is
not a unified and simple in
stitution should not confuse us
or lead us to conclude that
there is no central spirit or ch
aracter to this vast complex
institution.
"Ideas will continue to be
born here and germinate to
enrich society and deepen the
lives of men everywhere only
if the University remams st
rong, free and creative."
Robert M. Mangan, Deputy
Under Secretary of the U. S.
Department of the Interior,
presented Sitterson with a
certificate and plaque designa
ting Old East Dormitory as a
National Historic Landmark.
