A statement by the North Carolina
Professionals for Health and the Public
Interest challenges the University to
correct the inadequacies of the Student
Infirmary and use the present
opportunity to create a model health
facility.
Unless it does so, the statement
continues, it will be failing educationally
and medically to serve adequately its
students and the state.
Mack Lipkin, an intern at North
Carolina Memorial Hospital, will present
the group's statement at an open hearing
this afternoon at 4 p.m. in rooms
202-204 of the Carolina Union.
The open hearing is being held to
allow students and other interested
- persons., the opportunity . to voice their
opinions concerning the Student
Infirmary.
Three health service consultants Dr.
John P. Curtis, Joseph Axelrod and Dr.
Addie L. Klotz who have been asked to
make a comprehensive survey of the UNC
student health service program will be
present to hear student opinions.
The opportunity the group refers to is
the proposed new infirmary, to be built
at an estimated cost of more than
$2,400,000. The infirmary, part of the
capital improvement budget, is being
submitted for approval to the N.C.
General Assembly by Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson.
The director of the Infirmary, Dr.
Edward M. Hedgpeth, is resigning this
year after serving more than 20 years at
his post.
The North Carolina Professionals view
these events as a major test for medical
planning in the state.
"If it is not possible to achieve careful
planning embodying the major modern
principles of medical care in the staffing
and construction of health and disease
facilities for this highly educated, captive,
concentrated and basically healthy
. community, then prospects for doing so
elsewhere in the state are poor," the
group contends.
. Among the major considerations in
"planning the new Infirmary; according to
the group, is the defination of the
community to be served -students,
faculty, employes and their families.
The student as consumer should be
represented in the planning and
management of the facility, say the
group. Consumer representation, the
group states, is the best means to ensure
that the facility serves the needs of the
consumers.
The North Carolina Professionals for
Health and the Public Interest is a group
of health professionals from the state
interested in the problems of health care
delivery and related health issues.
The group was organized in Chapel
Hill in July of 1970. It meets every week
or so to discuss current health problems.
The membership is made up largely of
hospital staff members, students of the
UNC Medical School and School of
Public Health and other interested
students.
The panel of consultants to which
students will address their remarks is
charged with the task of investigating the
entire health service program. It will
evaluate the present Student Infirmary,
make recommendations for further
directions of the program and
recommendations for facilities that will
be needed to accomplish the program
suggested.
Due to the lack of time available to
hear the opinions of all students this
afternoon the Student Health and Welfare
Committee has suggested that students
bring with them a written statement that
can be given to the consultants.

The Chancellor's Committee on
Student Rights has found that students
are not satisfied with their role in the
University's decision-making process, the
chairman of the group said Monday.
'.'Generally, students don't feel that
they have a voice concerning decisions
which affect them," said Dr. Gordon B.
Cleveland, who heads the 10-member
joint student-faculty group.
Cleveland said students feel they are
not represented in some cases; and in
others, where they are represented, they
feel they don't have enough power.
"In some cases where they are
ostensibly represented, they don't feel
they have a voice," he said. 'They feel
tjieir position is an advisory capacity
instead of decision-making."
The committee hopes to have a final
draft of the report of their findings by
the end of the week, Cleveland said, and
will submit their report to the Faculty
Council at its meeting April 2.
"We will submit the report to the
Faculty Council and ask them to accept
it," Cleveland said. "We also plan to ask
them to pass some specific resolutions."
The committee has been working since
early1 last fall, giving questionnaires to
students, faculty and administrators and
recently holding two open meetings.
All candidates
to meet today
There will be a compulsory meeting
for all candidates in the upcoming
campus elections in the Great Hall of the
Carolina Union at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
At the first meeting two weeks ago,
very few students attended, but student
participation "was very good" at the
meeting last Thursday, Cleveland said.
. "About eight students had prepared
statements, and response from the other
students was very good," he said. "It was
a very useful meeting."
While researching the issue of student
participation, the committee was broken
down into two subcommittees, one of
which studied offices and agencies under
the dean of student affairs and the other
studied academic affairs.
Cleveland said . the students his
committee had talked to thus far wanted
more student participation in the areas of
hiring and firing of professors, the
composition of curricula and the degree
requirements.
"We have found that all departments
r
and administrative agencies haven't set up
channels of communication between
students and department heads," he said.
He said one of the proposals in the
committee's report might be that all
departments set up a regularly meeting
advisory committee composed of
students and faculty to advise the
department heads.
The committee is composed of four
students and six faculty members.

The freshman seminars conducted
during the fall semesters were an
outstanding success according to those
who participated in them.
A survey of the students in the
seminars and the faculty members who
taught them showed almost 96 per cent
of the students recommend continuing
the seminars with a little over 85 per cent
of the faculty making the same
recommendation.
Dr. Mark Appelbaum, dean of
Experimental and Special Studies, was a
little surprised at the nearly unanimous
response.
"I've never seen any groups of
students agree so completely on
anything," he said. "The seminars were a
phenomenal success for those who
participated in them."
The seminars were initiated last fall as
a result of the Merzbacher Report on the
General College Curriculum and the
Godfrey Report on the Future of the
University.
The survey conducted by Appelbaum
and John K. Nelson, dean of the General
College, received response from 327
freshmen.
Over 85 per cent of the students said
they would take another seminar if
possible while only nine per cent
indicated they would not take another
one.
Three major suggestions for changes in
the program were evident in the
comments from the students:
(1) The seminars should be made
pass-fail;
(2) The seminars should count to
fulfill the divisional requirements of the
General College curriculum;
(3) Seminars should be offered on the
sophomore level as well as to freshmen.
The students who responded said more
than 75 per cent of the time that the
seminars were more intellectually
stimulating than their other classes.
The students seemed to express only
two criticisms of the program: first, that
the courses tended to be more lecture
than seminar; and second, that too much
previous knowledge was expected of the
students.
Although the faculty who taught these
seminars were not as unrestrained in their
praise of the system, they did as a whole

express satisfaction with the program and
say that the seminars should be
continued.
Exactly 85.1 per cent of the faculty
who responded to the survey thought the
seminars should be continued, said they
were interested in teaching another
seminar and they would recommend to
another faculty member that he also
teach a freshman seminar.
The maximum percentage of the
faculty who responded to any of the
above questions in a negative vein was 7.4
per cent concerning teaching another
freshman seminar.
Otherwise, the responses of the faculty
to the remainder of the questions agreed
with the sentiments expressed by the
students.
