o 11 78 Years Of Editorial Freedom Chapel Hi!!, North Carolina, Monday, January 11, 1971 Vol. 78, No. 81 Founded February 23. 1S33 mm Tar Heel victory cli By Chris Cobbs Sports Editor It may not have proved anything, but it was very satisfying to 8,800 Carmichael Auditorium fanatics, who found it rather like old times. Carolina's 79-74 win over Duke Saturday night didn't settle anything as far as the Atlantic Coast Conference race is concerned, said Coach Dean Smith. But it did solidify UNC's grip on first place in the regular season standings and it climaxed a week that began with the Tar Heels upsetting the country's second-ranked team, South Carolina. Gaanrlb eilecMc r by Evans Witt Staff Writer The Town of Carrboro may ask for a hearing on the planned increase, in electric rates announced by the University late in December. Town Attorney Bill Staton has asked the Carrboro Board of Aldermen to request a hearing before the full UNC Board of Trustees, to see if the rate increase to all electric customers in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area is justified. The executive committee of the Board of Trustees approved the rate -increase in its meeting Friday. The increase had been requested due to the increased cost of obtaining wholesale electric power. The actual amount of the increase for local customers will be decided early this week by Vice Chancellor Joe Eagles' office. , G FefeireBidliirai slated. by Keith Carter Staff Writer ' The referendum for the Graduate Student Coordinating Committee (GSCC) constitution, has been set for this week following the approval of the final draft of the document at a meeting of the graduate student organization Thursday night. GSCC Chairman Jerry Harder revealed the referendum will be held today through Thursday, with each school or department handling the arrangements for its own election procedures. Harder recommended each student check with his department to find out what election procedures will be followed. Ballot boxes will also be set up in Craige Dormitory and the Carolina Union for students who are unable to cast their ballot in their own department. GSCC Secretary Jim Becker expressed hope that the referendum would have a good turnout, to show popular support for v the proposed separation of the graduate student government from the undergraduate student government. r ' .

Henry Stephens and Larraine Carpenter seem to ' Actually, Smith hinted, the win may have meant a little more than he at first indicated. "I think two ACC teams should always be in the top ten," he said. "It's such a great league that I just think two clubs from our conference deserve to be in there all the time." And it was that kind of thinking that had the capacity crowd screaming, "we're No. 1," throughout the game. There was a moment in the first half, however, when the game and possibly a shot at a successful season appeared to be in jeopardy.- When fiery sophomore guard George Karl tumbled to the floor and rolled about in severe pain with a locked knee j "We figure a turnout of 25 per cent would be excellent," Becker said. "We don't know how much this figure would come to, but we feel that 1,300 voters would be a good turnout." The University Office of Registration and Records show there are presently 4,602 graduate and professional students enrolled for the fall semester. Becker said copies of the proposed constitution would be available in each of the graduate departments and schools. Anyone unable to obtain a copy can get one from Jerry Harder in 429 Craige Dormitory. Only minor changes in the document were made at the final meeting of the GSCC Thursday night, dealing with the naming of the graduate organization. The new constitution calls for the name of the graduate body to be the Graduate and Professional Student Federation, instead of the GSCC The large legislative body of the organization will be known as the Senate and the smaller executive body will be called the Executive Board. These changes will go into effect when the constitution is ratified. mk - m .if aires that teammate Steve Previs had inadvertently fallen across, Smith admitted, "I was very concerned." The play occurred as Karl and Previs doubled-up on Duke center Randy Denton with UNC ahead 13-11 after seven minutes. Karl had to be carried to the dressing room. He reappeared only four minutes later, to the amazement of just about everyone, and with his return, the Tar Heels reeled off eight straight points. Previs and forward Dennis Wuycik also required medical attention in the course of the half. The rugged trio of Pennsylvania natives fortunately succeeded in remaining whole for the rest of the game. fPo T n 7TT1 KfOi IiiiJIiiiVL The increase was proposed in December when Grey Culbreth, director of the University's service plants in Chapel Hill announced that the cost of wholesale power purchased from the Duke Power Company had gone up 18.46 percent. The increase in Duke Power's rates was approved by the Federal Power Commission and went into effect Dec. 14. The university buys approximately 75 percent of its power from Duke Power and generates the other 25 percent to sell to local customers at its Cameron Avenue steam generating plant. The agenda , for the Carrboro Board's meeting Tuesday night comments that the University's power rates have allowed large profits to accumulate. It questions, whether or noLthe xate increase is j'ustified- "The Board of Trustees is the only protection that the public has against unwarranted increases since the public being served by utilities has no control over the University officials, nor are the services controlled by the State Utilities Commission," the comment adds. The comment in the agenda alledges that the University has made several million dollars profit in the last ten years from the system. The Town of Carrboro is also currently embroiled in a court suit against the University concerning ; the University's increase in water rates which went into effect this summer. The University raised its water rates to its, outside customers over 100 percent this summer, justifying its action by citing the needed improvements in the physical tacilities Ol the system in order to be able to provide for future needs. Carrboro claimed in reply that the increased water rates were unjustified and were an illegal tax. .... -"-. i. A- "t- . ... V" -i 2 . w t - -u. f if -L VI'' f.v- .

(Staff photo by Johnny Lindahl) Recommends approval i Groep Mikes bes by Evans Witt ' Staff Writer The Raleigh City Coach lines proposal for a bus system covering the University, Chapel. Hill .and Carrboro has been recommended for acceptance by the Joint Transportation Study Commission. The proposal will be presented to the Chapel Hill and Carrboro Boards of Aldermen early this week for action. The Raleigh proposal is fairly close to the original proposal made to the Commission by the Gastonia Bus Lines, except that the proposed Raleigh contract includes a 30-day cancellation clause which the Gastonia contract did not, according to Commission Chairman George Lathrop. The most significant other difference between the two proposals is that the Raleigh proposal calls for the campus and town contracts and systems to remain essentially separate. R.L. Deaton, the manager of Raleigh City Coach Lines, called for continuing the campus bus service on a contract between the company and the UNC Student Government, maintaining the present hours and routes of operation on campus. Deaton proposes to set up the town service along comparable lines with the one proposed by Bill Rhyne Jr. from the Gastonia Company. However, the Raleigh proposal is more expensive. 'The Raleigh system will cost about $20,000 more per year than the Gastonia proposal," Lathrop said. Lathrop is sot certain when operation of the bus system would begin if it is approved by both Boards of Aldermen. He commented that there were many details to be taken care of after the official approval of the plan and that the system would probably begin operation soon, possibly sometime near February 1. points were high for Duke in the half. , DeVenzio, the tiny senior guard, had six in the half and finished with 11. Duke's big men-Denton, Shaw and Larry Saunders-all got in foul trouble in the first half and had to play cautiously in the second. Denton wound up with only 14 points and nine rebounds, both well below his team-leading averages of 23 and 13. Shaw did not score in the second half and Saunders made only four points for the entire game. Duke was out-rebounded 41-29 for the contest. "We did not play well at all," said Coach Bucky Waters. "We were hurt by foul trouble and by missing our free h. n. Lathrop said that he would present both lines' proposals to the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen Monday evening and to the Carrboro Board of Aldermen Tuesday night. Lathrop said he had been informally told that the Southern Coach Lines Company of Durham might also have a proposal for service ready for consideration Monday.

The speech is open to all students, faculty and administrators. Froines, Lee Weiner, Bobby Seale and five others were charged with conspiring to incite a riot, crossing state lines with intern to incite a riot and giving inflammatory speeches to further then purpose at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Froines and Weiner were also charged with conspiring to instruct protestors on making "an incendiary device" to be used to blow up a Chicago parking garage. The device, which was never placed in the garage, was shown in court to he a "stink-bomb." - e weeK throws, the first time this year this had happened. "We got close a couple of times in the second half, but couldn't break it." Two of the reasoriS the Devils failed to catch up were Tar Heels-Dave Chad wick and Kim Huband. Chadwick scored 19 points and Huband, a junior guard who appears to be gaining confidence rapidly, added 11. Carolina allowed Duke within six about four ""minutes from the finish, but center Lee Dedmon, who did not start the game because of a practice incident last week, came up with six of his 11 points in the remaining time to put it away. UNC is now 10-2, Dufce. 8-5. Freslimaia elections T1 linesday Election for president of the freshman class will be Tuesday. The first elections were held Nov. 17 but were contested after one of the candidates' names was mistakenly omitted from the ballot. The election will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ballot boxes will be located in dormitories which house freshman students. An additional polling place will be set up in the Carolina Union to accommodate any freshman living off campus, according to Elections Board member Margo Fletcher. The candidates for the office are Foster Ockerman, Ford Coley, Jack Knight and Jeff Wood. Wood contested the Nov. 17 election after his name was omitted from the ballot. In that election, Ockerman finished first with 395 votes, Coley was second with 335 votes and the "do-nothing" candidate Knight was third with 290 votes. Counting of the ballots will be done from 6 to 10 p.m. in room 217 of the Carolina Union. Before Christmas there was a possibility that one or two referendums might appear on this ballot. A Reapportionment bill which would change the number of Student Legislature members and a Judicial Reform Act are still held up in Legislature and have not yet been acted upon. Both bills will probably come up for a referendum sometime in February, Miss Fletcher said. not be as simple as they were proposed under the Gastonia system. The main reason cited by the Commission for accepting the Raleigh proposal the cancellation clause was considered important because for the first year of operation of the system the towns will have no certainty to patronage of the system. Lathrop said that studies indicate that some 800 passengers a day would use the town portion of the system. The maximum loss at this level of patronage would be approximately 525,000 per year. uli (l Froines was acquitted on all charges, but presiding Judge Julius Hoffman cited him for 10 counts of contempt during the trial. The former university professor now faces a 195-day sentence. Froines is presently free on $15,000 bond, set by a Federal Appeals Court after Judge Hoffman refused to set bond. Froines graduated from the University of California at Berkely in 1964. The same year, he -organized the Students for Johnson movement. He received jp M.A. and Ph.D. in chemistry at Yale and did post-doctoral study at the Royal Institute of Great Britain. At the time of his conspiracy indictment, Froines was assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Oregon. Froines was an SDS organizer while at Yale and is co-founder of the Radical Science Information Service. vfl rm SilL i
