Jeffress Cites Work
In Defense Of NSA
State Awards
By CHARLA HABER
DTH Staff Writer
Charles Jeffress, student
legislator and a member of the
C arolinas-Virginia NSA
Steering Board Committee, has
compiled a list of reasons
supporting UNC's affiliation
with the NSA.
"A legitimate question has
been raised by persons wishing
to disaffiliate from the NSA,"
said Jeffress. "We hope to
answer the question 'Why stay
In NSA?' with' the following
reasons."
First, according to Jeffress,
the NSA is the only effective
national student lobbying
organization.
He cited the following
examples:
Several Congressional
committees have called upon
NSA President Bob Powell to
testify as to students' needs
and interests, most recently
Congresswoman Edith Green's
subcommittee investigating
campus unrest.
The testimony of several
NSA staff members before the
Democratic National Platform
Committee as to the need for
neater Drotection of student
o
legal rights;
NSA represents over 2
million American students and
has been called on consistently
to speak for students in
meetings of various higher
education associations and
before congressional
committees;
-NSA is working on
18-year-old suffrage campaigns
on the state and national levels.
Secondly, the NSA has led
the court fight to recognize
student legal rights and student
interests in the following
situations:
NSA vs. Civil Aeronatucs
Board contesting the abolition
of youth fares;
-NSA vs. Hershey
contesting General Hershey's
order of immediate induction
for those who violate the draft
laws
NSA vs. United States
contesting the provision for
cutting off Federal aid to
students involved in "campus
disorders;"
Leary vs. United States m
which NSA has filed an amicus
curiae brief with the Supreme
Court to have severe penalties
for drug usage declared "cruel
and unusual punishment."
Third, NSA is the only
national student organization
of note, and it continues to
grow. According to Jeffress,
114 colleges and universities
have joined in the past two
years bringing the total to 385.
' Fourth, NSA is the only
national student organization
recognized as capable
rWplnniiu? urograms
meeting student needs. Private
and public sources have
contributed to NSA programs,
including the Ford
Foundation, United States
Office of Education, Field
r aiirm Stern Family
Fund, National Institute
Mental Health and the Hazen
Foundation.
Fifth, NSA also provides
significant services at the
campus level. These services
include training for student
leaders; course and teacher
evaluation guides; educational
reform literature, ideas, and
help; European travel
information and discounts;
student film festivals; aid in
obtaining more liberal social
rules; freshman orientation
suggestions and help; life
insurance and a cost-free
job-finding service (RECON).
In a fact-sheet drawn up by
NSA representative Virginia
Carson, the number of UNC
students benefiting from NSA
services are as follows:
life insurance 800

The Daily Tar Heel captured
three of four first places for
writing yesterday in the
College Press Awards
sponsored by the Charlotte
Observer and Charlotte
newspapers.
DTH editors and writers
took five awards out of 12
offered for writing, but failed
to place in competition for
"Best Large College
Newspaper."
Sports Editor Owen Davis
led DTH writers by taking a
first-place award in the sports
story division and an honorable
mention (third place) in the
feature division.
Davis won first and a $50
prize for a "Heel Prints"
column on Clemson coach
Frank Howard and honorable
mention for a feature on sports
official Lou Bello. Sports
Writer Chris Cobbs also took
an honorable mention.
Also in the feature division,
The DTH did not place in
the editorial-writing division of
the contest. The DTH also did
not place in the overall
division, which in addition to
writing took into consideration
lay-out, use of color and
frequency of special sections.
First in the overall division was
the N.C. State "Technician,"
John McMurray, chairman of
vne student Transportation
Commission; Mike Padrick,
governor of Granville
Residence College; Richie
Leonard, former .speaker
pro-tern of the Student
Legislature; Charlie Farris,
president of the senior class;
Charles Jeffress, , student
legislator; Ramona Taylor,
head cheerleader and 1967
homecoming queen, and Judy
Froeber.
Perez also praised Albright's
past participation in student
affairs which "makes him
qualified now to provide
imaginative leadership."
He further stated that the
group's hope was to "initiate a
clear alternative to the
established bureaucracy they
(students) have encountered,
and the committee sees
Albright as the lone candidate
who can make this possible."
As far as his term in office is
concerned, Perez said, "I will
work to the utmost of my
abilities to fulfill my campaign
promises, and I will work to
see that every student legislator
does his duty. If he doesn't, I
will see that he gets expelled
from the Student Legislature.
"I think a lot has to be done
in physical improvements.

Perez stated that one of the
first things he would do would
be to start a committee to
work for the formation of a
system in which students could
rent refrigerators for their
rooms as students at Duke

in last Tuesday's election for
the vice presidential office.
All four newly-elected
University Party-endorsed
student legislators from
Granville Towers announced
their support of Student Party
presidential candidate Bob
Wilson.
Two of the legislators, Alan
Hirsch and Terri Josephs, were
parties, except UP's control is
stronger and SP is freer, more
independent."
Hirsch said UP is a "student
government mahine that works
to perpetuate itself and does
not work for the benefit of the
students on campus." He
also endorsed by SP. The other.-, qualified his statement saying,

Bob Wilson will face Alan
Albright in the run-off election
on Tuesday, April 9.
As spokesman for the
legislators, Alan Hirsch said,
, "If Bob Wilson is elected, it
will give student government
the chance to represent
students and not just the party
bosses."
When asked why he chose to
run on the ticket of a party he
did not support, Hirsch replied,
"For expediency There is
probably not any racial

The "Al bright
Organization," according to
Hirsch, includes such people as
Harry Diffendal and Dick
Calloway. Diffendal was
recently defeated in his bid for
election to Student Legislature.
If the UP machine stays in
control, Albright will just be a
new "Day" in student
government, Hirsch said. "I'm
convinced that Alan Albright
will continue the do-nothing
tradition of Ken Day and only
through Bob Wilson can
student government be a viable
force for change.
"Bob Wilson may be the
last chance student government
will ever have to be a truly
effective force on campus.
"Recent experience has
proved that groups like SSOC
and the BSM are now the only
effective forces for change,"
said Hirsch.
" This "change" refers to
academic reform and social
freedom within the University.
The four legislators believe Bob
Wilson will be a much better
person to work with. "He's
much more in tune with
student ideas," Hirsch added.

DTH Staff Writer
Sen. Ralph Scott,
D-Alamance, has introduced a'
bill in the North Carolina
Legislature that would make
student body presidents on
each of the four consolidated
university campuses members
of the University's Board of
Trustees.
The measure, proposed
Friday in the State Senate,
would give the student board
members the power to vote on
all matters.
Scott also said that he wasjn
favor of one of the student
members being made a member
of the board's executive
committee.
"I think this bill will at least
give the students an
opportunity to bring important
matters before the board of
trustees directly through their
own elected representatives,"
Scott, an uncle of Gov. Bob
Scott, told the (Raleigh) News
and Observer.
"I don't think the
administrators have listened
hard enough to some of the
things students and others on
the campus are saying.
"I think for example that
(UNC) Chancellor (Carlisle)
Sitterson should have been in
better contact with the
workers who went on strike
over there."
Student Body President Ken
Day deemed the measure "an
excellent proposal It has a
great deal of merit for
improving lines of
communication which are
greatly needed between
students and trustees."
Scott, a member of the
visitation committee . that

Chapel Hill, Greensboro,
Raleigh, and Charlotte-said
that the bill had not been
prompted by recent student
unrest on the Chapel Hill
campus, but that he had heard
the desire for student
representation on the board.
"All this bill does," Scott
said, "is let the administrators
become better informed, and

The remainder of the

"in celebration of the
