(Staff photo by John Gellman) Stallings gives address AMPS tadgeft n ILii IL by Evans Witt Staff Writer Hayden B. Renwick, assistant director ' of undergraduate admissions, charged , Friday that the very success of the Committee for the Advancement of Minority, and Disadvantaged Students (AMDS) and Project Uplift in bringing ,black students to the Chapel Hill campus ' is the reason Student Legislature (SL) refused to fund the program for next year. "Some of the people in the Student Legislature must feel that 'We don't want that many black students on. campus; we don't want Indians, disadvantaged or other minority group students on campus,' " said the black administrator. "If the administration and the student body are seriously committed to the disadvantaged students in the state, there is no excuse for not funding the AMDS," he said. The establishment of two or three work study grants allowing students to work closely with the admissions office for student recruitment have been approved by William Geer, director of Student Aid, according to Renwick. The establishment of a student recruitment office within the admissions elects cominnifittttee nineinnifoeirs by Woody Doster Staff Writer Student Legislature (SL) heard Student Body President Joe Stallings' state of the campus address Thursday night, with generally favorable reactions. Stallings' speech mainly concerned the administration's "seizure of authority" on the question of student funds "which blatantly violates the Student Constitution and the historic authority of Student Government." 'Stallings also condemned the administration's actions in the graduate s t u d ent independence jjuestipn andL . outlined plans for academic reform. - Committees and committee chairmen for SL's five standing committees were elected following Stallings' speech. Robert Grady was re-elected chairman of the powerful Finance Committee. Grady easily defeated Cathy Roth for the chairmanship. Grady said he would make one of his first priorities "the establishment of guidelines for the Finance Committee concerning what types of organizations it is proper to fund." , Grady related he would like to see SL more involved in the student fees controversy. "In this matter I support Stallings," he said. Gerry Cohen will repeat as chairman of the Rules Committee, elected to the position without opposition. -HicQm.mitteeis composed of Alan Nagle'; Ilandy Wolfe, Charles Gilliam, Dennis Ayers, Norman Black and Margaret Wright. Cohen said he expects his committee to be active this session. 'Under consideration by the Executive branch of ' Student Government are a number of proposals to change SL that we will give a fair hearing," he said. He said these proposals would change a legislator's term of office from one year to six months, cut the size of SL in half and remove the rules which make it easy for "obstructionists" to block action in the Legislature. ' Rules Committee will consider the Student Government proposal to allow the jiew Legislature to make next year's budget. ' : . Marjorie Spruill was elected chairman of the Judicial Committee, defeating Phil . Williams : 25 ta 24. ., 7 Serving on, the Judicial Committee are Vicky Gordon, Dave Gephart, Joel Edwards, Dennis Tharrington, Phil Williams, Clayton Woodard and Gordon Woodruff. "I think that Legislature should be streamlined above all," Spruill said. "It needs to be made more efficient." She added that thiswould be her goal in the early going of the new Legislature. Kathy McGuire was elected chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Her committee must approve all presidential appointments. Also elected to the committee were Barry Scott, Roger Wright, Cathy Banta, Gordon Black, Mike O'Neal, Tom Allen, Frank McNair, Chuck Sears and Patrick Hughes.. A proposal supported by liberals in Legislature to review the bylaws was defeated by' a' vote 'oT "2 7-2 17" 'The present bylaws are too easily abused," said Rules Committee Chairman . Gerry Cohen. He referred to "obstructionist tactics" used in SL. office has been an objective of AMDS, according to Jim Hornstein, student director of the committee and Project Uplift. The AMDS funding controversy arose when SL failed to allocate any funds for the committee or Project Uplift program. Legislature provided $3,900 of the committee's operating expenses this year. One of the reasons given by SL for not funding the committee, which brings minority and disadvantaged students to the campus for recruitment, was a feeling that the administration should fund the program. "I think the administration should bear a part of the financial burden," Renwick said. He pointed out that the administration provided a portion of the operating funds for the committee and he felt the amount should be increased. On the question of whether the administration would fund the whole program, Renwick does not believe the University will, or should provide all of the funds. Project Uplift, a program currently in progress enabling some 100 disadvantaged students to observe campus life, is phenomenally successful, according to Renwick. "In one year, last year, Project Uplift brought 150 students here. We received applications from 75-80 of them," he said. - In comparison, he said, he speaks to about 2,000-3,000 students each year about, coming to the University. Only about 200 of these students applv to UNC-CH. Renwick gave his reasons for believing the success of the program has caused it to be out of favor with SL. "It's beyond my comprehension that they- don't know how successful the program has been. It must be the very success that is the reason the Finance Committee cut off the funds' he said. Renwick also said the students on "the Chapel Hill campus have been asking for more responsibility and are now refusing to live, up to the responsibility of 3 very successful program. "In the bst ten years, the students have been screaming that the administration is doing too much and that some programs should be given to the students," he commented. "The people who have been screaming at the administration are now acting like the administration on this matter." he continued. This year's budget for Project Uplift and AMDS totaled some $7,000 and came from a variety of sources. The Chancellor's Discretionary Fund, the Falk Foundation and the University faculty provided the funds to bridge the gap between the $3,900 allocated last spring and operating expenses. Daylight -Savings Time . . Students are reminded to turn, their clocks ahead one hour as Daylight Sayings Time, goes into effect Sunday at 2 a.m. Women students oji campus will have to be in at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time Sunday morning and will not get an extra hour of time on their dates. Stud ents enjoy $5,200 WOT th of Carniva by Sue English Staff Writer Enthusiastic crowds and diligent fraternities,, sororities, and residence colleges pooled their efforts to make the Campus Chest carnival on Thursday a huge success. Coordinator David Putnam, of Alpha Phi Omega (APO), said the carnival netted over $5,200 as compared to the $4,000 profit from last year's carnival. Students poured in and out of Ehringhaus field all night, in spite of the unseasonably cool weather. Putnam said the crowd was "much bigger than last year." , , Roulette wheels and other forms of gambling were a pro ninent part of the evening, with some of the booths making phenomenal profits. The Beta Theta Pi booth, Beta Vegas, brought in $825. The girls did not do quite so well at gambling attempts. Alpha Delta Pi sorority, due to their lack of skill at the game of Black Jack, was swarmed with students sure of their chances to outwit the dealer and win a free beer. However, the sorority ended up making $75 on the booth. Most of the sororities sold food, arid were busy feeding hungry spectators all night. Kappa Delta sorority made over $200 with their hot dog sale. The Kappa Alpha Thetas netted $120 with the sale of popcorn and Phi Mu sorority sold $88 worth of snow cones, in spite of the cool temperature. One of the more popular booths was the Phi Sigma Kappa "Dunking Booth," in which a pledge was suspended on a board over a tub of water and was splashed into the tub when a spectator hit the "release button" in the right place with a softball. The jeers and snide remarks of the candidates for dunking as well as the announcer provoked many bystanders to try their luck at the dunking. "Phi Kap Follies," the Phi Kappa Sigma y v - ! -v . it- - 7; " f 4 V A' 2 ' 7 - . 4 4 J k'. .. JJ ft- 1 7J ; Campus Carnival attraction, drew large crowds all night. First to appear on the stage was a brother, dressed as a girl and dancing to music. "She" was followed by the star of the show, a go-go dancer from Raleigh, who performed for the second year in a row. Other popular sites included the Chi Psi's old car, which was demolished by blows of a heavy sledge hammer. Sigma Nus held their chicken race again, but the chickens did not seem to" want to race, providing the spectators with a few laughs. Scott Residence College was successful with their frisbee throw and took in over $ 1 00. "Force," a band from High Point, played from 9 to 10 p.m., and drew, in the crowds that had begun to dwindle. The band was secured by APO service fraternity, who had hired the band for house parties earlier this year. One of the highlights of the evening, were the chariot races, which began shortly after 11:00 p.m. After a close finale. Zeta Beta Taus were announced as the winners of the race. Crowds were still onliand when the races ended at 12:30 a.m. Putnam said all the groups "did a good job in cleaning up their own areas." Gamma Sigma Sigma service sorority and APO finished the clean-up at 2 a.m. 'The carnival was the result of a good effort on everyone's part," Putnam said. 'There should not be an overemphasis on either APO's or the fraternities' part in the production." Two separate trophies will be given to the sponsors of the booths, one for the amount of money brought in and the other for originality, particpation and overall appearance. Three trophies will be given on originality basis: one for the sororities, one for fraternities and one for residence colleges. Trophies will be given for the sorority booth that brought in the most monev. the residence college that made the most profit, and each fraternity that raised over $200. Judges of the originality of the booths were Dick Baddour, assistant dean of men; Richard Stevens, assistant dean of men; Pete Hall, former Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) president; Tom Nash, IFC president; Kathy Carlton, president of the Inter-Sorority Council; and Steve Saunders, chairman of the Residence College Federation. Preceding the carnival was a parade, which' traveled through town and ended up at Ehringhaus field. Ugly Men on Campus candidates from the fraternities, Beauty and the Beast entries from residence colleges and Campus Chest queen candidates from the sororities were dressed appropriately for the occasion. Putnam commented that running Campus Chest as a part of Greek Week has made it a more profitable event. He was pleased with the participation in and coordination of the event. 7 .AW V7 ' '.
