The bill to free campus radio station
WCAR from Publications Board and
Student Activities Office control was
defeated by a tie vote of 17-17.
WCAR's station manager Jon Marcus

Alfred M.- Lilicnthal. noted Jewish
speaker on Middle Hast em affairs, urged
Thursday night the formation of a
bi-national state in Palestine rather than
the existing Zionist state.

to $9,000, which will be discussed after
the entire budget has been considered
one time.
Rep. George Blackburn said the cut is
necessary because "SL may find itself
$75,000 short.
"The present budget doesn't make
provision for the loss of graduate student
funds," he noted.
Rep. Gerry Cohen protested that the
cut caused by the graduate students exit
would be around $ 1 1 ,000.
"The Graduate and Professional
Student Federation could be required to
pay their share of the Carolina Union and
The Daily Tar Heel's printing costs,"
Cohen claimed. '

federation.
The Carolina Union's allocation, one
of the mandatory ones specified in the
federation's constitution, was for
$25,440.
Principle allocations to the
departmental organizations totaled
$20,273. The amount for this
appropriation is set by the bylaws at 50
per cent of the income of the GPSF after
mandatory expenditures have been
deducted.
The Daily Tar Heel received an
allocation of $1,214.
Ralph Steuer, chairman of the Senate
Finance,. Committee .of the GPSF,:
emphasized the provisional nature of the
budget.
x "At this stage our government is still
provisional," Steuer said. "We are not yet
recognized by the Administration as a
student government.
"It's not a formal document because
we don't have the money yet . . . it's just
a general structure to show to the
Administration," he added.

nature of the DTH appropriation but said

He emphasized the "property rights"
of the Arabs, previous land-holders, and
denounced means by which Arabs were
'divorced" from their property.
Liiienthal quashed what he termed the
"myth-information" the American public
has been receiving from the media
regarding the conflict. '
He said the media was "playing
cowboys and Indians" and concluded
"the American public refuses to believe
there are two sides to a very complex
problem."

enmity" between Arabs and Jews as

Blackburn did not agree with the idea
-a student government lawyer would
improve relations between Student
Government and Adniinistration.
"All of Student Government's power
derives from the Administration," he
noted. "A lawyer isn't going to find any
hidden power of Student Governments"
Student Body Treasurer Guil Waddell
argued that the Administration "would
listen to a lawyer where they wouldn't
listen to students.
"The Administration has been on the
offensive this year concerning policy
changes," he said. 'The idea of hiring a
lawyer is sound."
In other action, SL cut $2,000 from
the money for the DTH was judged on a
per capita basis.
'The $1,214 figure is not a final one,"
he said. "It could be $1,400 or it could
be $900."
The remainder of the projected
income of the GPSF goes for operating
expenses, capital expenditures and other
miscellaneous expenditures.
An electric typewriter, an electric
adding . machine, file cabinet and other
office supplies will be purchased with an
$885 allocation.
v Other operating expenses for the
federation, including postage and
stationery supplies,, secretarial services,
i printing' costs and telephones expenses
total $1,740.
Costs for the bookkeeping of the
GPSF are estimated at $2,824, giving a
total operating cost of $4,564.
The Carolina Symposium is alloted
$1,967 while the Chapel Hill Draft
Counseling Service is to be given $300 for
its work.
The projected income for the GPSF
was estimated by projecting a total of
4,800 fee-paying graduate students, next

fees.

The pro-Arab speaker cited various
justifications used for the relocation of
the Jews, the most notable being the right
of birth.
Jewish tradit ion holds that the Jews
were descended from the 12 tribes of
Israel, thus Israel is their homeland.

the proposed appropriation of the
Carolina Symposium.
Miss Claiborne Jones, co-chairman of
the Interim Committee, said the
Symposium may "ask Legislature to
reconsider the appropriation."
"All of our money except the Student
Government appropriation and a small
amount of Administration money is
uncertain," she said.
She added that last year much of the
Symposium's money came from
foundations and departments holding
federal grants, which could not be
counted on for the 1 971-72 year.
"Last year's topic, 'Man and His
Environment, was extremely relevant at
the time," Miss Jones said. "However, it's
just luck the topic became relevant at
that time.
"We had hoped to develop The Mind
of the South' fully in terms of cultural
activities, speeches and discussions with
experts on the South," she explained.
"If SL doesn't reconsider and we can't
find satisfactory outside financing," Miss
Jones continued, "we won't be able to do
justice to such a complex topic or to the
student body."
An amendment to delete the money
from the SL budget appropriated for The
Daily Tar Heel was defeated by a 17-14
margin.
The amendment was offered by Rep.
Joe Beard, who called for the deletion of
the DTHS monies because "almost 87
per cent of the student body gave their
mandate when they voted for the new
editor, whose platform called for the
financial independence of the Tar Heel."
The paper asked for $51,000 in the
current budget but that total has been cut
to $43,000.

Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson
expressed his regret Friday at the
unlikelihood of several campus
organizations receiving financial support
from Student Legislature.
Sitterson spoke before a Faculty
Council meeting along with Student Body
President Joe Stallings and Walter
Baggett, president of the newly-formed
Graduate and Professional Student
Federation (GPSF).
Sitterson said that financing
extracurricular, non-academic though
educational activities through
appropriated funds is not promising.
Sitterson said that the organizations
had been given financial assistance
through the Chancellor's Discretionary
Fund.
The fund over the past two years was
never less than $5,000 but never more
than $10,000.
He suggested that a search be made to
find other ways to finance such activities.
Monies from the Discretionary Fund
have been given to the Conference on
International Studies, University
Women's Club, Glee Club, Carolina Choir,
Project Uplift, consultation for the
Student Health Service and many other
campus activities.
Stallings stated his willingness to work
with the faculty and administration and
emphasized that he would be dealing with
them as a representative of students. (
Stallings spoke in particular on campus
black-white relations.

In addition, he emphasized that
Judaism has been a tremendous
converting force in the world. Many of
the followers of the religion are not of
Jewish blood.
The main activists in establishing a
Jewish national state in Palestine,
Liiienthal said, are the Zionists.
Zionism was started in the late 19lh
century where Teodor Herzl witnessed
the persecution of Alfred Dreyfus by
anti-Semites. He formulated a treatise
. which has been used as the basis for
Zionism ever since.
The main difference between Judaism
and Zionism is that Judaism is a religious

because the black leadership has
expressed interest in working with
established channels, however, Student
Government, faculty and administrators
must show black students that they are
willing to allow participation.
"If positive action is not taken now a
crisis situation is likely to develop," he
said.
Baggett related the events that led to
the formation of the Graduate and
Professional Students' Federation and the
present concern with its separation from

John William Fox, Jr., a young mayoral candidate who was arrested and charged
with possession of narcotics Wednesday night, was released on SI ,500 bond Friday
morning from Hillsborough Jail.
A preliminary hearing has been set for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in Orange District
Court in Hillsborough.
Fox, 26, of 31 Barclay Rd., was taken to Chapel Hill Police Station after his

faith and Zionism is a political
movement, not restricted to Jews only,
according to Liiienthal.
Liiienthal traced the history of the
Zionist struggle from Herzl to the Balfour
Declaration in which Britain sanctioned
the formation of "a Jewish national home
in Palestine.'"
He then related the events from World
War I to World War II and ultimately the
events following World War II in which
the Jewish nation emerged.
In these events. Liiienthal questioned
the motives of the new Jewish state. He

made in the area of black-white relations
on campus.
The Black Student Movement, he said,
is an organization that nearly represents
the majority of black students on campus
and is now in need of funds.
Leutze further urged the University to
take action in this area at present when
there is no crisis at hand and an
atmosphere of relative calm exists.
A recommendation in the Fraternities
and Sororities annual report to disband
the committee was accepted by the
council.
Controversy arose with the
presentation of a report by the
Committee on Student Involvement in
University Structures. A motion to
adjourn was passed leaving the committee
report to be considered at the next
council meeting.

Attributing much pro-Israeli sentiment
in the U.S. to "Christian guilt," Liiienthal
listed alternatives that the Middle East
Perspective, a group of which he is the
head, have enclosed in a letter to
President Nixon.
The group claims there are two
distinct sides to the issue and ask Nixon
to adopt a uniform, evenhanded policy
towards the Middle Hast.
The International Student Center and
the Carolina Forum presented Dr.
Liiienthal as part of their International
Festival which will include films, speakers
and dinners.
