The decision came after the committee met with representatives of the campus station to discuss the possibilities of legislature funding. Dean explained the finance committee would like to see WCAR become "the DTH of the airwaves." The only stipulation we put. on the appropriation request," Dean said, "was the station would come under the financial control of the Publications Board." "We don't want to run the station but we feel they should be under some kind of student control since they are using student funds," Dean said. "I personally would like the station to expand its coverage to all of the campus dorms." WCAR operations director .Frank Girard commented the meeting with the SL committee "went pretty well," but indicated the idea of control by the Publications Board "didn't sound too good." : "Being under financial control by the publications SL .May Bella To For President By AL THOMAS DTH Staff Writer Tommy Bello, a junior from Raleigh and president of James Residence College, announced his candidacy Monday for the presidency of the student body. Bello, running as an independent, said his decision to seek the presidency was sparked by a desire "to bring into Student Government the spirit of student unity and at the same time to press for more student individualism." In addition to being president of James Residence College, Bello is a Morehead scholar, a Richardson Fellow, a member of Chi Psi fraternity and a participant in the Toronto Exchange. He is also the son of colorful Atlantic Coast Conference official Lou Bello. "I think the student government president should be a student facilitator," Bello said in explaining his reasons for entering the race. "He should encourage people to work as individuals yet never forgetting their unity as students." Fesidemtia By GERRY COHEN DTH Staff Writer - This is the first of a series of articles on candidates for the presidency, of the student body. In separate interviews, the ' candidates were asked questions on campus issues. TODAY'S QUESTION: What do you think of the Uni versity's Disruption policy? Was David Blevins guilty of violating the policy? (Blevins was an instructor at UNC-Char-lotte who was convicted of violating the policy after he re fused to meet a class on the October 15 Moratorium) . TIMOTHY DAUGHTRY is a junior from Smilhfield, N.C. He is a psychology major, and is running as an independent candidate. - " Daughtry: The Disruption policy as it stands now is basic jT5 Aid Radio board could be bad or good,' he said. "We weren't expecting this stipulation, but I think we will go through with the plan anyway." Girard indicated the major problem with the proposed control by the Publications Board is the extent to which it will dictate station editorial and managerial policies. "One of the biggest problems I foresee," Girard explained, "is that the people of the board might not understand the equipment requests and some of the other technical aspects that are peculiar to radio alone." . Station manager George Doyle said he was "very pleased" that the financial request had gotten out of committee, but indicated some concern with the Publications Board's ability to understand radio operations. 'The Pub Board deals with campus publications," Doyle said, "but we're not a campus publication we're a radio station which is quite different from a newspaper or annual." Doyle, like Girard, questioned the extent of the Publications Board control over the operations and policy of the station. Finance Committee Chairman Gene Yates commented he felt WCAR should become the campus radio, but that in such a position, it would have to be controlled to some extent by Student Government. Mil With this unity, he continued, stud ens would be in a better position to deal with the administration on issues ranging from visitation to drug policy. "I know a lot of people in different areas of the campus," Bello said, "who are upset with inaction of Student Government. I think I can bring into the office the necessary enthusiasm and credibility to get Student Government moving again." Bello said he felt the election would be "a tough fight,'" especially since he is running as an independent. "It will be an uphill fight," Bello noted. "I don't have any machine to assure me of votes. If I can reach enough people and explain my positions and feelings, and these people turn out to vote, then I can win." Bello joined four other candidates already in the race for student body president. They include Alan Hirsch, Student party; Guil Waddell, University party; Gary Fagg, Conservative party; and Timothy Daughtry, an independent. ally unclear. Its interpretation will depend on precedent, and "the University is setting its own precedent. I don't think that Blevins was guilty. To limit peaceful protest is a big mistake. This is a place for education, and the University has a right and a duty to protect the right of students to an education. I am against any violent dis ruption. GARY FAGG is a junior from High Point, N.C. He is a member of the Student Legisla ture, and is majoring in eco nomics. He is the Conservative Party candidate. ' Fagg: The Disruption policy is a valid policy. David Blevins had a contract with the Univer sity, and he violated that con tract. The severity of the penal ty (Ed. note: not re-hiring him) was not justified.

The AFSCME represents non-academic workers on campus, especially those employed by SAGA food service. Emmett Doe, international representative of AFSCME Jones: How Was By HENRY HINKLE DTH Staff Writer Administration advisor Dr. Claiborne Jones urged campus residents today to fill out and return the food service questionnaires distributed last week. The questionnaires are designed to gauge student eating habits and preferences to help determine the size of food service operation the University will provide next year. SAGA Food Services, which currently operates campus eating facilities, has announced it will leave at the end of this semester. Jones said under no circumstances would the University itself run the operation next year. UNC operated its own facilities prior to the contracting of SAGA last spring.

ALAN HIRSCH is a junior from Miami, Florida. A mem ber of the Student Legislature, and vice-chairman of the Caro lina Political Union, he is majoring in political science. He is running on the Student Party ticket. Hirsch: The University needs a disruption policy that forbids and punishes violent actions, while at the same time protecting the right of all mem bers of the University com munity to free expression. For example, persons who prevent students from attend ing classes by blocking ingress and egress would be guilty of disruption.

He said the union members would explore possibilities of dealing with the crisis the unemployed workers are having. Doe said the crisis had arisen because of SAGA's continuing policy of hiring part-time -workers and the firing of full-time workers. Without the students, Doe noted, "SAGA wouldn't be able to destroy the livelihood of workers." He said he believed the students were not aware of the real issue "that the students are taking the receiving 9.1 per cent of the intake of SAGA operations here. Jones said the University in return pays for electricity, - heat, equipment and building and equipment maintenance at a cost of about $150,000 a year. Since SAGA is operating under a loss, the University is also suffering the effects. "During October we were making enough money to break even," Jones said. "Since the customer rate has fallen, our intake has been about half as much as before." The questionnaires will be turned in by resident advisors and graduate counselors Thursday. "Statistical analysis- will begin as soon as possible," Jones said. "It will not be possible to include any of the questionnaires turned in after Friday."

He is the University Parly can didate. Waddell: I think that the disruption policy is an infringe ment of student's rights. For example, according to the policy, any group of more than three persons may be ordered to disperse. In the Blevins case, people have ignored the fact that his class was taught that day by a substitute instructor.

"This is a lengthy process." Jones said a second questionnaire will be sent to off -campus students later to determine the extent to which they use the campus eating facilities. Jones was doubtful as to whether Lenois Cafeteria would be among the facilities operated next year: He said in order for the building to pass state health codes the University would have to spend $250,000 for new equipment and repainting of parts of the buildings' interior.

Bello: The whole question of civil disobedience must be answered in a personal manner. David Blevins opposed what he felt to be both an unfair policy and an evil war. His non -violent reaction was not only courageous but morally honest. that Blevins was found guilty does not convince me his action was wrong. I do not feel physical vio lence is the best form of protest, nor do I feel Blevins refusal to meet his class was a disruptive act. - The Disruptions policy would be much more effective and credible if it were limited to violent acts of disruption.

A question concerning the janitoral service will also be raised at the meeting. The Union has contracted' SAGA asking the dismissal of a company which subcontracts from SAGA. The company was not specified. The employee has allegedly harrassed some workers, been disrespectful and has "generally created a severe strain among the workers." Doe said they had also contacted the University about the employee. Because the University and SAGA had remained silent on the matter, SAGA manager Ted Young refused to fire the employee.

Project Hinton. started last fall as the first UNC coeducational experiment, had proposed a policy similar ti the policy now in effect for the Craig Graduate Center. This policy is very much a self-determination policy which has been in effect at Craig since the middle of last fall. It places the responsibility for all rule-making and conduct policies on the residents who will have to live under them. This allows complete freedom to the residents to the extent that "No rule . . . may be contrary to the policy of the University or to the laws of the State of North Carolina."

Russo is a Junior from Annondale, Virginia. A Morehead and National Merit Scholar, he is double majoring in history and economics. He is a member of Lamda Chi Alpha Fraternity and a member of the student legislature. "I feel a liberal-conservative coalition can provide a basis for a responsible activism that is needed on campus," Russo said, "The activists here have not been responsible, and the responsible students have not been activists," he continued. Russo said he is in favor of continued student government funding of the Daily Tar Heel.
