The Senate action leaves standing a 1967 law which allows abortion if at least three doctors agree the pregnancy will endanger the health of the mother or result in a seriously deformed child. Abortion is also permitted in cases of rape or incest. The measure was introduced on the first, day of the session by Rep.

Leonard and his associates apparently have another surprise in store for students. Design students from N.C.

The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. in 101 Greenlaw. Deliberations over the $258,957.44 budget are expected to last for "a week or more" said Finance Committee chairman Robert Grady Tuesday. 'The budget will be voted on item by WGA SL may consider independence bill by Woody Doster Staff Writer A bill to remove campus radio station WCAR from Publications Board control is expected to be discussed at tonight's Student Legislature (SL) meeting: The bill was tabled at the last SL meeting before Spring break. It will take a majority of legislative votes to bring the bill back up for discussion. -n Larry James, an attorney for Mrs. Laura Spinarski, a street vendor who filed : the complaint, said the vending case will be the "first order of business" in the May term of the Orange County Superior Court. James filed for a temporary restraining order March 25 to prevent town officials from enforcing the ordinance. The f temporary order expired Tuesday. "It is my understanding that the town will not enforce the ordinance until the court hearing," James said. "Otherwise," I would have obtained another temporary injunction today." The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen ; voted March 21 to begin enforcing the s street-vending ordinance, largely ignored since its enactment last June. The ordinance would clear the business district of all street venders " except flower salesmen. The Aldermen discussed the ordinance -briefly at their meeting Monday, but took no official action. James said he feels the city wishes to have the courts rule on the : constitutionality of the ordinance before taking action against the street vendors.. however, only by the grace of the committee chairman's vote and in the debate Tuesday, the arguments from opponents prevailed. . . r: In the final tally, the majority agreed ! with Sen. Norman Joyner, a Baptist ' minister from Iredell County, that by . , passing the bill, the Senators would be "too casual with the sacredness of life." .' The vote to table the bill would have r tied without the votes of two senators who favored the measure itself. One, Sen. ; Edward Knox, D-Meckienburg, said he ! voted for the motion because he thought . irtoir Leonard said there will be two stages on the field. One wi3 be for the scheduled concerts. The second and snler stage win be used by local groups between concerts. "V.Vrr trying to break down the distinction between local and imported talent," Leonard said. He promised "there will be a lot more going on between concerts." Organizers feel "the diversity in groups and individuals adds up to a comprehensive statement of where popular music is today." As proof of their statement they cite the Jubilee lineup beginning with Friday's opening entertainer, Chuck Berry, "the jreal thing in rock and rolL" Following "the real thing" the band that began in jazz and went to rock, Spirit, win perform. To round out the evening in a different strain Cowboy will i in f Si item," said Student Body Vice President Chris Daggett, speaker of SL. "On the first review of the budget we will only cut 7 appropriations. Amendments to give additional money to organizations will be made later after we see how much money is left over." Daggett added the Thursday session will be held in 202 Carolina Union at 7:30 p.m. "The main fights are going to be over funding organizations such as the Black Student Movement, the Debate Team and i the Carolina Choir, and cutting out Three amendments were added to the bill. The first amendment stated that all materials purchased by, or for, WCAR would revert back to Student Government if WCAR were to collapse financially. The second and third amendments were proposed, and backed by Finance Committee chairman Robert Grady. The second amendment would require WCAR "It appears they are being very fan about the matter right now," James said. James said his contention in the complaint concerns three main issues: the ordinance is so broad as to be practically meaningless, enforcement of the ordinance would be the same as cancelling the licenses of . the street venders, and allowing the sale of flowers while preventing the sale of other goods might be an "unreasonable discrimination." . The present ordinance is written in so broad a way that it prevents the display of any kind of commercial product, James said. He indicated this would include clothing and other personal items. "I feel like an effective ordinance should be drawn so as to be completely understandable and not take in more than it was intended," he said. Mrs. Spinarski contends that her flower sales license vas issued with the full knowledge that plaintiffs would display other goods, wares or commercial goods in the course of business." s Mrs. Spinarski makes leather goods and sells them on the street. Tl o II PM the Senate had expressed itself and now should go on th other things. Sen. Carl D. Kffiian, D-Jackson, said he had not realized the purpose of the motion. If h'e had, he said, he would have voted the other way. The measure, as it came from the House, would have permitted a woman over 18 to obtain abortion from a licensed doctor upon written request provided she had lived in the state at least 30 days, was no more than 12 weeks pregnant and had the consent of her husband if they were living together as man and wife. present their "soft" mixture of folk and rock music. Turning to another aspect of pop-Iar music today, the first of Saturday's concerts will feature the delta-and-Chicago-fclues of Muddy Waters. Saturday afternoon, the J.

Closing out Jubilee on a peaceful folk note, Tom Rush win perform Sunday. Rush is billed as "one of the finest folk musicians." Speaking of mechanical details i i l conn Tl n appropriations for the Yackety Yack, the International Student Center and ECOS," Grady said. BSM, cut from the last two SL budgets, was give $6,800 in the proposed budget. The Carolina Choir, which received $500 last year, is in the budget for $5,510. The Debate Team received a $1,700 proposed increase. ' The Yackety Yack is faced with a proposed 80 per cent cut. Last year's budget appropriation of $52,540 has been reduced to $10,000 in the proposed budget. to operate under the Student Government requisition system. llie third amendment would require WCAR to maintain its funds in the Student Government Activities Office and remain under the Student Government Audit Board. . "Why should we remain in then requisition system?" said WCAR station manager Jon Marcus Tuesday. "In all probability," he continued, "we will continue to keep our funds in the Activities Office. However, this should be a matter for our Board to decide.", "WCAR's Board of Directors is weak," Grady said. "Several residence colleges have only one or no representatives on the Board. The Publications Board is much more continuous." "It's true our Board was not active this year," said Marcus. "However, this was because they were told that the Publications Board would be taking over many of their functions. "Last year the Board was an active, effective body," he said. "Also, we have already sent letters to residence college governors to ask for their appointments for the Board next year." sboFii ill.. o ffoir speech tomgM i re Osborn Elliott necessary to the operation cf Jut Zee 71, Leonard said admission procedures il! differ slightly this year. Bednning Monday, April 12, students should go ty the Carolina Union Information Desk to pick up Jubilee tickets. A ticket admitting two people wO be issued free of charge for each student ID. card. The student's LD. number will be placed on the ticket, and the ticket wZl be valid only when accompanied by the matching li). Tickets wi3 be punched each day. No tickets will be sold. Leonard explained that without this policy some 35,OOG people could come to Jubilee. "We don't have the facilities or manpower to make it open," he continued. "Anyone interested in helping out with small details should drop by Suite A in the Union," Leonard said. Founded February 23, 1893 o i T?0 .iff J The Finance Committee expects an additional $30,000 will be raised by 5,000 subscriptions to the annual, at $6.00 per copy. ECOS, which requested $3,500, was cut from the proposed budget. "Since ECOS does so much off-campus work they have a great source of potential contributors there," Grady said. 'The committee felt our money could be spent more effectively in organizations like the Residence College Federation which can't get any off-campus contributions." The h ternational Student Center, in last year's budget for $14,719, was cut entirely. "However," Grady pointed out, "the exchange program administered by the " Center is in the budget for $11,500." He added that the committee felt the remaining funds needed by the Center could be raised by dues or appropriated by UNCs administration. The Finance Committee used two criteria in deciding which organizations to include in the proposed budget. s "First we checked how many fee-paying students were in the organization or would benefit from its activities," Grady said, "Second, we looked at how much the organization would benefit UNC." The total amount appopriated this year is "substantially the same" as last year's appropriation of $256,868.60. "Student enrollment hasn't gone up significantly in the past two years," commented Grady, v The budget proposal was three weeks in preparation by the. Finance Committee. 7 .'
