CHARLOTTE Carolina's starters got
a little help from five friends on the
bench before dazzling Georgia Tech with
a fast-paced second half attack that left
Yellow Jackets 87-58 losers here Friday
night. '
The Tar Heels, who looked more like
spectators than the nation's
eleventh-ranked team in the first 10
minutes of the game, were a drastically
different group after Coach Dean Smith
turned to the second unit with the
starters behind 19-12.
Steady play by the backup quintet of
Dave Chadwick, Craig Corson, Donn
Johnston, Kim Huband and Dale Gipple
reduced the Tech lead to three before
they yielded to the first team with five
minutes left in the first half.
Center Lee Dedmon then came up
with a couple of assists, a field goal and
two free throws and staked the Tar Heels
to a 36-35 lead at intermission.
Carolina had no trouble whatsoever
after that.
The Tar Heels employed a retooled
fast break to fashion a 29-9 spurt in the
first 10 minutes of the second period.
The Tar Heels were up 65-46 at that
point and coasted the rest of the way to
win number 1 5 against three losses.
Dennis Wuycik, who made only four
points in the first half, got in the middle
of enough breaks to finish with 16 and
lead UNC's balanced attack.
Other double Figure scorers were
Dedmon and guards Steve Previs and
George Karl with a dozen each. Tech
All-American Rich Yunkus was held some
10 points below his average of 27.8 as

men s voting districts, Charles uiliiam
introduced the motion to delete the
realignment saying, "You're treading on

Other provisions of the Election
Reform Bill give Men's District III
(Chapel Hill west of Columbia, south of
Franklin) six legislators instead of three
and Men's District IV (off campus east of
Columbia) five representatives instead of
three.
The bill also provided for the election
of junior and sophomore class officers in
the spring and freshman class officers in
the fall.
Rules committee Chairman Gerry
Cohen said the reform bill "will provide a
fairer and more representative election
system."
Under the bill, polls will be open from
10 a.m. to 7 p.m. instead of nine to five.

Dedmon worked tirelessly to keep him
from getting the ball.
The 6-9 Yellow Jacket center threw in
10 points to key Tech's early lead, but he
got only another two the rest of the half.
He didn't score again until the Tar Heels
had wrapped it up, either.
Yunkus, whose previous low was 13
against UNC at Charlotte, was also
outrebounded by his less heralded
opponent. He claimed but six misses
while Dedmon came up with a team high
for the year of 14.
With Yunkus silenced during the Tar
Heel rally the Jackets were unable to
muster any offense. As a matter of fact
they shot only 17 per cent from the field
after intermission an but 31.7 for the
game.
: The Atlantans, who won both ends of
the North-South doubleheader last year,
were outrebounded 53-40 as they lost
their sixth game in 2 1 outings.
Tech went five minutes without
scoring against Smith's second unit and
. never regained his momentum.
"We've now had two atrocious
shooting nights in a row," said Tech
coach Whack Hyder, whose team lost to
Florida State Monday night.
"Peanuts Murphy was sick and Jim
Thome turned his ankle in the second
half, but we are not looking for alibis,"
he continued.
"We're after the reason for this poor
shooting since we depend on it for any
success we have."
Murphy and Thome have averaged
almost 25 points between them this year
but they produced only eight against
Carolina.
Smith was pleased with the team's
second half comeback but was not lavish

Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson has
assured the Graduate Student
Coordinating Committee (GSCC) of
official administration recognition by the
1971 fall semester and that all
professional and graduate student activity
fees will be made available to the
organization.
The notification came in a letter from
Sitterson to GSCC Chairman Jerry Harder
and Secretary Jim Becker.
Sitterson said access to the funds will
be conditional upon the development of
by-laws which "enhance, clarify and
interpret the newly enacted Constitution
at points now vague or inconclusive."
The letter contained a second
condition for availability of funds, that
"organizational structures and
administrative procedures be developed
which provide constructive programming
and assure proper accountability of
funds."
Becker revealed he and Chairman
to get their names on the ballot. An
pn-campus student need only present a
petition with 25 names to get on the
ballot under the reforms, and an
off-campus student needs only 10
signatures.
Both figures are about half of the
previous requirements.
Cohen told the legislature this was the
first major revision of the election laws in
1 5 years.
In other action, Legislature approved a
$635 appropriation for a students' rights
handbook.
Judicial Committee Chairman Judi
Friedman said the booklet's purpose is
"to tell students what their rights are
within the University structure," but she
added that the book is not "a statement
of definitive law."
"We hope to give each student an idea
of what his civil rights are, and what he
can do in a given legal situation," she
said.

O
Fraternity
by Jim Reed
Special to the DTH
(Editor's note: Jim Reed is a member, of Chi Psi
fraternity. He has done extensive research on the
question of whether or not fraternities are valid. This
article is the first in a series. )
One of the greatest dilemmas fraternities face is that
of the image that they project or in many cases that
which is projected for them- to the student body.
Often the familiar picture of the "frat" man is
painted in the following way: he wears a monogrammed
alpaca sweater (Carolina Blue, of course) and has a pint
of Southern Comfort in one hand a delicious Carolina
co-ed in the other. He is basically hedonistic and an
intellectual pigmy. He loves the Tarns and screams a
lusty "Hot Damn" for every first down Carolina makes.
He is a Business Administration major and has a solid
chance of taking over his dad's company within five
years. He has been sterilized by middle-class society and
thus rendered harmless.
Not only is this stereotype grossly exaggerated, but
also in cases where this exterior does exist, this is not
necessarily an accurate reflection of the individual's
personality. All too often brothers are relegated to this
woeful and mundane stereotype.

Harder met Thursday with Dean of
Student Affairs CO. Cathey and
Associate Dean James O. Cansler. "Dean
Cathey considers there are now two
student governments on campus,' Becker
said. "We feel the sense of the
Chancellor's letter indicated he feels the
same."
Cathey also indicated official
recognition would mean graduate
students would be represented on all
University committees, according to the
GSCC secretary. This would include the
Publications Board and Carolina Union
Board of Directors, as well as other
committees.
"We now have all the recognition we
could expect," Becker said. 'This is really
a provisory recognition, but we have the
conditions set for getting appropriate
recognition."
Becker indicated initial steps toward
establishment of by-laws for the graduate
organization will be taken at the first
meeting of the Senate of the Graduate
and Professional Student Federation
Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Carolina
Union.
Orientation Commission chairman, and
appointment which the .Ways and .Means..
Committee reported with "no prejudice."
The committee refused to turn out a
bill to abolish the commission, however.
The body also .approved on
constitutional amendment while
defeating another.
Approved was an amendment to put
the membership of the Legislature
between 45 and 55 members, instead of
the present 50.
Defeated was an amendment creating
coed voting districts. Opposition to that
measure was based on a fear that it would
reduce female representation in
Legislature.
Legislature also made appointments to
the Campaign GM Committee to purchase
General Motors stock and to . the
Graduate Student Conference Committee
to negotiate with the Graduate Student
Coordinating Committee over the
withdrawal of graduate student funds
from the undergraduate Student
Government budget.

Another topic of concern is the question of the
fraternity man's supposed vein of anti-intellectualism. Is
he versed in Hegelian dialectical materialism or
memorable quotations of A. Mitchell Palmer?
The only effective means of comparing the level of
intellectualism between individuals within a a fraternity
to those not in one is to examine some QJPA. data.
Although this basis is perhaps not a very sound measure
of one's intellectual efforts, it is still the only viable
means to examine such an abstract concept.
The median Q.P.A. for all fraternities for the school
year 1969-1970 was 2.497-a median slightly higher
than that of undergraduate men not in fraternities.
Certain fraternities merit special mention for
outstanding scholarship. Zeta Beta Tau had an
astounding 3.042 average for last spring. Chi Psi and
Delta Upsilon had exceptional averages of 2.879 and
2.814, respectively. -
A third myth that should be treated is that of the
fraternity system's "elitist" strain. Presently, the
fraternities have a membership of 1,413, or
approximately 18 per cent of the male undergraduate
enrollment. If current trends continue, this percentage
should increase to slightly over 20 per cent after spring
rush. Fraternities are highly selective, to be sure, but
they are not "elitist."
There may be some instances where status and social

"A committee will then be established
to draw up the by-laws, a task which
should take no longer than two or three
weeks," Becker said.
Becker indicated the GSCC still hopes
to receive the $8,500 promised Student
Legislature, as well as $3,000 for
operating expenses.

No major changes were made in the
new system of disbursing student fees
when the chancellors from the six
Consolidated University campuses met in
Raleigh Friday to discuss and review the
system.
According to Consolidated University
President William C. Friday, the meeting
was primarily concerned with a report on
all activities leading to the change in fund
systems.
Friday said that, with the exception of
a few word changes, no other action was
taken on the trust fund report.
No major revisions were offered in the
form of suggestions. However, Friday said
one chancellor proposed that upon
presentation of a petition by the student

The Student-Faculty Stores
Committee will meet early next week to
review the new policy of issuing warrants
for bad checks.
The special session of the committee
will review the policy which was
instituted this semester by Student Stores
Manager Tom Shetley and Associate Dean
of Student Affairs James O. Cansler.
The policy, which was not approved
by the committee, led to the arrest of ten
students for bad checks this week.
According to Shetley the new policy
provides for the first notice of a bad
check to go to Dean Cansler's office
instead of through the mail.
Cansler, Shetley said, would then tell
the student's resident advisor of the bad
check, and the RA would inform the
student, advising him to cover the check.
Second notices of bad checks would
.be sent by registered mail, Shetley said.
Shetley himself took the blame for not
taking the new policy before the
committee before initiating it.

an administrative official could be

No action was taken on the proposal.
The University President said a

student body presidents.
Present at the meeting were Chancellor
William Smith of the Asheville campus;

Steve LaTour, a student member of
the committee, said Friday he had
interviewed four of the students against
whom warrants were issued for bad
checks, and he said three of them said
they had received only one notice.
The fourth said he had not received
any notice.
LaTour added that two of the students
received their notices through the campus
mail.
Shetley said he felt the students might
not have gotten notices because of a
difference between their campus address
and the address on their checks.
LaTour said, "I believe there are
serious needs for a full, public discussion
of the matter."
He added that the students he had
talked to had not been aware their checks
were not good.
Joe Crimmins and William Fadul,
co-directors of the Consumer Protection
Service of Student Government, said CPS
representatives would attend the meeting.

position influences selection, yet this is not the accepted
norm.
Unfortunately, financial restrictions make joining a
fraternity prohibitive to the lower income groups. This
is, perhaps, brought on by the fabric of American
society more than any other reason.
" A final area of controversy is the "hazing" process.
This process still exists at a few fraternities here. Patrick
Johnson, in his book entitled Fraternity Row, comments
tersely, "I think hazing, in the old physical sense, is
completely asinine. It proves little or nothing, and the
pledges who submit themselves, to indiscriminate hazing
have no one to blame but themselves."
To refer to hazing as anything but "asinine" would be
a ludicrous euphemism. Often one is confronted with
the rationale that the pledge must undergo some test of
endurance to prove his commitment to the fraternity.
If the hazing method is viewed as the only effective
method of retaining the pledge's interest in the
fraternity, then quite likely the fraternity has nothing
worthwhile to offer the pledge. Viewing the situation
from another angle, the pledge whose interest in the
fraternity is kindled only by hazing or performing
menial errands for the brothers doesn't have much as an
individual to offer the fraternity, either.
