concerning administrative funding of
campus organization addressed to the
Daily Tar Heel by Chancellor J. Carlyle
Sitterson.
According to Cathey, Orientation
Commission Chairman Steve LaTour met
Tuesday with Assistant Dean of Student
Affiars J.O. Cansler, to decide what
money is needed for the orientation
effort.
"After they decide what it will cost, I
will endeavor to get the money," Cathey
commented.
Cathey did not specify the exact
source from which the funds for
member universities to the Chapel Hill

Included will be President Kingman
Brewster of Yale, Robert F. Goheen of
Princeton, Terry Sanford of Duke,
Howard Johnson from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and others.
Friday was elected as
secretary-treasurer of the AAU in 1967
and became vice president of the
association in 1969.
The group was founded in 1900 by 14
of the most outstanding universities in
fields of graduate and professional
instruction and research.
UNC was admitted to the organization
in 1922. It was the 25th member to join
the association.
Membership into the association has
continued to be restricted to those
universities considered leading
institutions in graduate and professional
fields.

At Wednesday's press conference, Lee
said he consulted his family about the
decision to run for re-election because his
frequent absence from home "requires a
great deal of sacrificing on the part of my
family."
Lee claimed the office of mayor has
changed significantly during the past two
years.
The pace has quickened and the
demands for leadership in crisis and
community situations are greater," he
said.

orientation next fall will not cost more ,
than the money he can get.
"There will be no chicken dinners next
year," Cathey said, referring .Jo the i
problems which developed last year over
a 'dinner for the freshmen and junior
transfers.
Chancellor Sitterson replied to an
editorial in the Wednesday DTH, saying
there is "considerable misinformation and
misunderstanding" concerning the
amount of funding the administration can -give
to campus organizations.
Sitterson said the N.C. General
Assembly does not give the Chancellor
any funds to use at his discretion "to
support worthwhile projects on campus."
He went on to say that he had made
appeals to the legislature for such funds
many times but had never been
successful.
Sitterson said in the letter that these
funds usually amount to between $7,000
and $10,000, all of which he uses to
support such activities as the Carolina y
Choir, the debate team, the, t Carqlina
Symposium, the Fine Arts Festival, the
Tarheel Band, Carolina Talent Search "and
Project Uplift. '
"The fact is that is these worthwhile
campus activities are to-be adequately
supported, the resources will have to
come largely from student funds. I will
continue to support these and all worthy
campus activities within my limited
resources," Sitterson said in closing the
letter.

Stallings then pointed out some
important issue problems and asked for
cooperation from the student body and
former candidates and opponents.
"Student Government is in a
precarious position," Stallings said. Some
important issues . which Student
Government will be concerned with,
according to Stallings, are student fees,
the selection of a new chancellor,
graduate student government and
re-structuring the student infirmary.
Stallings stressed that he and Chris
Daggett, newly elected vice president of
the student body, plan to carry out their
campaign pledges.

co-op, establishing an information and
complaint bureau, and reforming the
academic system," he added.
"But we can't do it alone," he added.
"Students must have faith that we are
listening and interested."
Stallings plans to receive student input
through monthly visits to fraternities,
sororities and dormitories.

The North Carolina Veterans for Peace
will sponsor a rally on war crimes Friday
at 8 p.m. in Gerrard Hall.
Several UNC Vietnam veterans will
discuss the recent Lt. William Calley
court martial decision and their
experiences related to Vietnam war
crimes.
"The organization is not taking a stand
on the guilt or innocence of Calley. We
want only to inform people of the
widespread guilt that exists," said Gary
Martin, an economics graduate student
and Korean veteran of 1967-68.
Testimony from the veterans should
help raise the question of war crimes in
general and "paint pictures for people,"
according to Martin.
"We won't resolve the matter but the
rally should serve a useful educational
purpose." Martin claimed.

himself to daring the next two years, if
he is re-elected, include more and better
