A modified calendar plan which would
schedule final exams before Christmas
vacation ;will be submitted by the
Chancellor's Committee on the Calendar
to the Committee on Instructional
Personnel for approval.
The proposed calendar sets fall
semester to begin in late August with
exams ending before the Christmas break.
Spring semester would begin in January
and end early in May.
Dr. Lillian Y. Lehman, chairman of the
committee, said the proposed calendar
would be sent to the Committee on
Instructional Personnel, where it could be
amended or rejected. The Committee on
Instructional Personnel is composed of
deans and representatives from various
areas on campus. Recommendations
would then be sent to Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson.

Where to obtain the money for the
proposed bus system was the problem
Monday night for the Chapel Hill Board
of Aldermen at their weekly meeting..
George Lathrop, chairman of the Joint
Transportation Study Commission,
presented two proposals for the bus
system for Carrboro, Chapel Hill and the
University campus and gave the
Commission's recommendation on the
proposals.
The Aldermen examined the proposals
and delayed action on which, if either, of
the two to accept and where to obtain
the money to pay the expected deficit
from one year's operation.
4 The two proposals Lathrop presented
to the Aldermen were from the Raleigh
City Coach Lines and the Gastonia Bus
Lines.
Lathrop transmitted the
recommendation of the Study
Commission that the Raleigh proposal be
accepted, even though the expected
deficit from the Raleigh proposal is some
although they need not be precisely
identical, there should be a pattern
sufficiently common so that students can
benefit from the opportunities that are
available at each University," Sitterson
said Tuesday.
Calendars from Duke and N.C. State
were reviewed but the major
consideration was the Trustees Policy on
the Calendar. The policy states the school
year must be composed of two semesters
of 1 7 weeks each, exclusive of vacations,
and a summer session of eleven weeks
divided into two five-and-a-half week
sessions.
Pros and cons of the proposed calendar
were discussed by committee members
and members of the administration
directly involved with the calendar
change,

$16,000 more than the one expected
under the Gastonia proposal.' The deficit
foreseen by the Raleigh company totaled
about $30,000, while the other system's
deficit was projected at only around
$14,000.
The most significant difference in the
two proposals, and the one cited. "by the
commission in making its
recommendation, was the Raleigh
contract would contain a 30-day
cancellation clause. The Gastonia
proposal contains a more complicated
and more expensive clause if the towns
want to cancel the systems' operation.
"In other words, we would be paying
Deaton (head of the Raleigh company)
about $2.00 per hour to take the risk of
investment on the buses," Lathrop said.
There is also a difference between the
two proposals in regards to service to the
campus and transfers between the campus
and town routes.
The Gastonia proposal would provide
more hours of service to the campus and
would embody relatively simple transfer
procedures. Transfers under the Raleigh
proposal would be more complicated and
possibly more expensive.

Inter Fraternity Council (IFC) court
has decided it will no longer check
fraternity houses for visitation violations.
Responsibility for checking violations will
be left to individual fraternity houses.
A statement issued by IFC Monday
night said, "IFC recognizes the right of
each house to self-determine its visitation
policy ....Each house will set up and
enforce its own visitation policy."
Pete Hall, president of IFC,
emphasized each house's visitation policy
must still be within administration
guidelines.
Assistant Dean of Men Dick Baddour
spoke for Associate, Dean of Student
Affairs James O. Cansler in agreeing to
the "no-check" policy of IFC court.
However, the administration said if any .:
house sets up a visitation-policy outside
of the, administration; guidelines, that
fraternity would not be, recosiizdas
having visitation; v ' ,
All but tW6 'of th6 fraternities have
signed an agreement5 with the University,
setting their policies within
administration bounds and agreeing to
elect officers to see the poLcy is carried
out accordingly. '
The two, St. Anthony Hall and Zeta
Psi,' have signed no. agreement at all.
However, Ed Wells, president of St.
Anthony's, said the agreement would be
defending the student involved if a case
can be made, charging the police."
Bello said to his knowledge, the
student wants to be defended. Bello and
Gothard will meet with lawyers Thursday
at 4 p.m. to discuss the case.
The Student Legislature discussed
Tuesday night adding additional support
of use of the Legal Aid Fund to defend
the student by passing a resolution in
favor of the Student Government's
decision to aid the student. Use of the
Legal Aid Fund is controlled by Student
Government.
Bello said that defense of Gothard will
be the first use of the funds this year
except for the incorporation of the
service. Student Government expressed
its willingness earlier this fall to use the
Legal Aid Fund to help a student charged
with violation of the open housing policy
of the administration. The student,
however, refused to carry the case to
court.
Gothard was charged with disorderly
conduct and resisting arrest, and another
student had a camera confiscated
following a non-productive narcotics raid
by four Chapel Hill Police officers on the
ninth floor of James dormitory late
Friday afternoon.
There were no arrests in connection to
the . drug charges and neither Gothard nor
the owner of the camera were involved in
the raid.
Election results
Jeff Wood has been elected
president of the freshman class
after the voting of freshman
students on campus Tuesday. Wood
defeated three other candidates for
the post.
The unofficial vote tabulation is
as follows: Wood, 213; Ford Coley,
167; Foster Ockerman, 153; Jack
Knight, 125.

College John K. Nelson.
Strong said the proposed schedule
would allow his department to get out
fall term grades before the beginning of
spring term and that inebgibles could be
notified before summer session. On the
other hand, he said, registration tickets
for fall semester would have to be pulled
at the same time as those for the second
summer session.

signed as intended. No representative of
Zeta Psi could be reached for comment.
Pete Hall said the IFC checking-up
policy had caused some bad feelings
among people in fraternities. "Other
living units don't have their police
checking up on visitation, so why should
fraternities?" he said. "Having a
representative of IFC checking on houses
is like a resident of Stacy dorm checking
on residents of Lewis dorm"
Hall said IFC should help fraternities
with their problems rather than enforce
their rules for them and act like "Big
Brother."
Any violation of the visitation policy
in fraternity houses will still be handled
by IFC court. "

Those students presently residing in a
residence hall who do not plan to live on
campus next semester must cancel their
University housing in person or in writing
by Friday.
If a student fails to do this, it will
result in a full-room rent charge for the
spring semester, according to Robert
Kepner, director of the Department of
Residence Life.
Room rent for those who do wish to
live on campus is due in full by Janu 1 5.
Among those students who must
register for rooms next semester are all
sophomore and junior transfers, male or
female.
The University policy is all sophomore
and junior transfers must live in a
dormitory for two semesters, through
their first academic year of enrollment.
Exceptions are made for medical
excuses issued by personal physicians or
by the infirmary, marriage and if the
student is 21 or older.
This is the first year male transfer
He was of the opinion, however, that
he could adopt to the change without
great difficulty.
Cansler felt the question was
unanswerable until it is seen how it will
affect the faculty and public schools.
Although the public schools opening
coincides with the new opening. a
problem will be created at the other end,
he said.

The action comes in conjunction with
student protests over the administration
visitation policy.
IFC endorsed a self-determination
policy oh visitation last March. Several
other campus groups, including Student
Legislature and the Association of
Women Students, have also endorsed
self-determination.
The latest developments began last
Tuesday when Chancellor J. Carlyle
Sitterson issued a statement turning down
the differential housing policy passed by
the Consolidated University President's
Consultative Committee. The dec&ion
was reached by deans of student affairs of
the six branches . of the University of
North Carolina.

students have been required to live in
residence halls.
Lee Hood, junior class president, in
investigating the transfer ruling, found
the majority of administration officials
defend the policy on grounds of its
educational (for the student) and
financial (for the University) value.
Having run on a platform of
eliminating forced University housing for
junior transfer students, Hood and his
fellow officers are investigating the
situation and broadening their efforts to
include sophomore transfers.
Hood has discovered a computer check
will be run during the first two weeks of
spring semester to see if all transfer
students who are supposed to be in dorms
are complying with the rule.
Those students in violation of the rule
will be required to return to the
dormitories.
Hood explained Dean James O.
Cansler's statement that University
housing is in debt for $12 million. Since
1966 the dormitories have been
financially autonomous. North Carolina
legislature does not appropriate funds in
their support.

weeks between Thanksgiving and final

Nelson pointed out. was the length of the

Other problems thjt might he
encountered include blsketr-all

was not present at the meeting, is
concerned with coordinating the calendar
with already contracted sports events.

Student Body President Tommy Bello
responded to the decision by urging
individual students "to assume the
responsibility of a stance of
non-cooperation with the Chapel Hill
administration in the matter of
visitation."
His statement called for massive
non-cooperation and asked students not
to obey rules put down by the University
concerning visitation and not to report
other students for visitation violations.
Bello said the stance of
non-cooperation would mean students
would either follow rules set by their own
conscience or those set down by a
majority of residents in their living unit.

To cope with this financial situation
the University needs to keep the
dormitories full, Cansler said.
Spezking of the transfer policy, Cansler
told Hood, "Educationally I cannot
defend the policy, but administratively
and economically I can defend it."
The present housing policy is good,"
said Hood, "only in that it treats both
sexes equally, but I question why the
transfer men were forced to comply with
the regulations of transfer women. The
reverse would be more equitable and
would give the transfer student the
option of dormitory or town housing.
"Forcing junior transfers to live on
South Campus in particular (with the
heavy dominance of underclassmen and
noise) is like forcing a freshman to take a
200 level course," Hood concluded.
Hood had originally hoped to effect a
change in policy for the coming semester.
As yet, he has been unsuccessful, but he
intends to continue his efforts. He said he
has found some favorable response in the
administration.
He reported several transfer students
are moving out of dormitories in defiance
cf University policy.
