RALEIGH, N.C.-College students got
a vote of confidence Tuesday as the
Senate agreed 44-2 to make student
government presidents voting trustees at
the state's public universities.
Joe Stallings, president of the student
body at UNC, termed the vote "quite
pleasing." He added "in answer from
letters to Senators McLendon and Ralph
Scott, they expressed optimism for the
bill's passage. It is my understanding that
this bill should pass the House without
significant opposition."
Stallings expressed hope that "the.
opportunity offered here for direct
. student input should be used to the best
advantage of students and the
University."
The bill, sponsored by Sen. L.P.
McLendon (D-Guilford) passed a second
and third reading and was sent on to the
House after Senate members defeated
two amendments -one aimed at giving the

The Student Health and Welfare
Committee (SHWC) will hold a work
session tonight to discuss the future
direction and development of student
health service on campus.
The session, at 7:30 p.m. in Suite C of
the Carolina Union, is open to the public.
SHWC members will meet with Dr.
John Cassel, head of the Dept. of
Epidemiology; Dr. Donald Madison,
member of the Health Services Research
Center; Dr. John Thompson, head of the
Oberlin Health Services and member of
the Community Mental Health Division; a
physician from the Infirmary and a
member of the Health Education Dept.
Experts in the fields of medical care,
psychiatric counseling, environment,
health education and research and
development have been invited to attend.
A health service expert has been asked to
give an overview of SHWC proposals in
relation to development of health services
for students.
Proposals submitted to the three
health service consultants on campus last
the possibility of getting the accounts
"The Independence and integrity of
Student Government has been questioned
on this issue," Stallings charged. "We are
presently getting our money in block
amounts, but I fear further restrictions
will be placed on student fees."
The fear felt by most Student
Government and Student Legislature
members, they say, is that the present
approval of block grants will not
continue. ' -
Under block grants, a student
organization can requisition a check from
its funds in the University Truest Fund
Office without itemizing each specific

student trustees more power and one
aimed at giving them less. -
The first amendment, proposed by
Sen. Hamilton Horton (R-Forsyth) would
have made the student government
presidents members of the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees as
well as the board itself. Horton said this
would be the only way to insure the
students had a vote where it counts."
The amendment failed however when
several senators pointed out that the
Executive Committee members are
elected from the membership of the
overall Board of Trustees. Some senators
also argued that Horton 's amendment
would make six of the 1 5 members of the
Executive Committee of the Board at the
University of North Carolina students.
The second amendment proposed
Tuesday would have allowed student
government presidents to sit on the Board
of Trustees but not to vote. Sen. J. Ollie
Harris (D-Cleveland) said he felt students
are too "immature" to handle the

month will highlight the discussions,
according to Lloyd Comstock, SHWC
chairman.
"We want these people who are
experts in their 'fields to expound on,
criticize and make suggestions concerning
the proposals made by the SHWC in its
third report," Comstock said. -
Comstock said he considers the open
working session as another step towards
the development of attainable; services
that will fill students' special needs.
In its third report, the SHWC proposed
an organizational structure for the
Student Health Service. The structure is a
corporate bureaucracy, incorporated as a
free standing organization. It would
include a board of directors, an executive
director, a liveability office, -illness
services division, research and evaluation .
division, division of ease versus disease
and education division.
In its report the SHWC supported the
active recruitment of black health service
providers; the concept of satellite clinics;
action on the issue of drugs; utilization of
existing University resources whenever
possible and several other topics. ;
fund use, provided the group has enough
funds.
The alternative method is an
item-by-item requisition with all
deductions, including pencils and paper
and paper clips, being listed.
The controversy began when the
University changed the student fees
policy from placing fees in the Student
Activities Office to a University trust
fund in January.
"Requisitions for expenditures from
the accounts . . . will be required," stated
a release from Joseph C. Eagles, vice
chancellor of finance, on January 29,
1971. "Information on the requisition
must be clear enough to indicate the

several senators maintained it would have '

In no case would studentsconstitute a t
majority. McLendon said even on the t
board for the Consolidated University of ;
'North Carolina, there would be only sixx:
student trustees compared with the 10001
non-student members.
The measure failed in 1969 partly v
because it came during a period of
campus disruptions. But McLendon said1
Tuesday he saw a "change of
circumstances and times."
McLendon's bill is similar to the one
introduced by Sen. Ralph Scott
(D-Alamance) last session. It provides
that the student government president at
each regional university, the school of the
arts and each campus of the Consolidated
University of North Carolina will be a
voting member of the Board of Trustees
at his respective institution as long as he
holds his office.

Although the University emphasized it
would not deny funds requested in the
appropriate manner, checks for the Daily
Tar Heel printing and publishing costs
were refused on February 5.
Gull Waddell, treasurer of the student
body, stressed that the action initiated
general mistrust on the part of the
student body toward the administration.
The checks were granted three days
later but the move end criticism of the
system.

Jim Hornstein, student director of
Project Uplift and the Committee for the
Advancement of Minority and
-Disadvantaged Students (AMDS), has
asked the University to establish a
student recruiting office within the Office
of Undergraduate Admissions.
'This office would be staffed by
students and permanently funded by
both students and the administration,"
said Hornstein.
His request came after the 1971-72
" Student Legislature (SL) failed to allocate
any funds for the operation of Project
Uplift and AMDS, an organization
designed to recruit disadvantaged high
school students into college.
Hornstein indicated the $3,900
appropriation in this year's SL budget
provided more than half of the $7,000
needed each year by AMDS.
Other - financial - sources tated f by
Hornstein for 1970-71 Project Uplift
operations include the Chancellor's
Discretionary Fund, which gave $1,000 as
did the Falk Foundation. '
The University faculty contributed
and additional $1,200 bringing donations
and grants to a total of $7,100. This total
provides a slim margin of $100 over the
predicted annual budget.
The Project Uplift director said his
organization was unable to lobby for
reinstatement of SL funds because all
available time was needed to prepare for
f the arrival of 350 high school juniors who
are participating in the 1971 AMDS
recruitment program.
Hornstein felt Student Legislature was
misinformed, and its actions were not
indicative of actual student support for
Project Uplift.

The University still insisted that "the
details of how the amount requested was
determined should appear on the face of
the requisition."
Student Government has complied by
including broad categories, such as
"supplies," rather than itemizing costs.
Student Government is currently
trying to see if the trust fund office will
accept block grants which are labelled
"for operating expenses of ... " but
include no further categories.

Commenting on a statement made in
The Daily Tar Heel by Robert Grady, SL ,
finance committee chairman, Hornstein
said it was not true that AMDS duplicates
the work of the Carolina Talent Search,
as Grady had asserted.
'The Talent Search recruits some 60
highly-sought students who rank high in
their class and have already decided to go
to college," said Hornstein.
He added, "On the other hand, AMDS
is trying to open the doors of higher
education to those North Carolinians who
have been traditionally excuded from
these institutions."
In Project Uplift, disadvantaged white,
black and Indian high school juniors are .
selected by their, guidance counselors to
come to Chapel Hill ' for a four-day
period.
During their stay, they experience
many facets of campus life as they
register, attend classes and live in dorms

Debaters defeated
ini'0Lti(mal. tourney
The UNC debate team was defeated at
the National Invitational Debate
Tournament by a husband and wife team
from t&e jjtJniversity of Georgia in a 3-2
decision.
UNC debater Joe Loveland and Joe
McGuire fell in the tournament's quarter
finals at Macalester College in St. Paul,
Minnesota.
Loveland and McGuire were defeated,
ironically by the same team they helped
get to the tournament. University
debaters received two invitations to the
tournament and gave the second one to
the University of Georgia whom they had
defeated earlier.
The tournament was ultimately won
by UCLA.
According to Mrs. E.C. Clark, wife of
Cully Clark, UNC debate coach who
accompanied the team on their trip, Cully
said "the decisions in the eliminations
were all running close. It's disappointing
that they lost, but their previous wins

Leaders of Student Gorsmment and
its organizations fear the system wO not
continue according to recent sources.
"We don't know if we can rely on this
pattern, state Cam West, presidential
assistant to Stallings.
"This fear would not exist if student
fees were returned to the Student
Activities Fund office." he added.
According to the Brooks Report on
Student Fees, compiled by legal counsel
to Student Government John C Brooks,

entanglements is obvifu "

Project Uplift.
He noted that the group of 100
students who will arrive in Chapel Hill
today would be the last to participate in
this year's recruitment, due to the lack of
funds.
Disadvantaged students who took part
in Project Uplift during March of 1971
regarded it as "a great success" and "a
wonderful program."
One student said, "Project Uplift has
been very enlightening in the area of my
career interests."
Joe Stallings, student body president,
endorsed Horn stein's request for a
student recruiting office.
Sellings said, "I definitely support
continuation of AMDS. Its performance
for the University has been
commendable."
"The results speak for themselves," he
added. "I sincerely hope the University
will fund; AMDS cn a permanent basis."
placed them in the top eight debate teams
in the nation."
The two debaters received honors
Sunday when Loveland, a sophomore
from High Point, was ranked top speaker
of the tournament and McGuire, a junior
from Asheville, was judged seventh.
Both students are Morehead scholars
at UNC.
UNC was the only school at the
tournament to have two speakers who
placed in the top 10.
In the pre-elimination rounds,
Loveland and McGuire emerged with a
6-2 record, defeating the top ranked
Harvard team. This record qualified them
for the elimination rounds which were
scheduled for Monday.
In a pre-tournament interview last
week, McGuire said he would be
extremely happy is the team made its
way out of the pre-elimination rounds
and managed to qualify for the
octo-finals.
