An Infirmary evaluation report
submitted to Chancellor J. Carlyle
Sitterson last month states Infimary
problems and the lack of student input
have caused some hard feelings between
students and the Infirmary staff.
"There presently exists a strained
relationship between students and the
present Infirmary staff due to the
problems facing the Infirmary as well as
the lack of adequate student input and
feedback about the programming and
policies," the report stated.
The report was compiled by Dr. Addle
Klotz, director of the Health Service at
San Fernando Valley State College;

The requirement that junior transfers
live in University Housing for their first
two semesters on campus has been waived
for the 1971-72 academic year.
According to Associate Dean of
Student Affairs James O. Cansler,
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson's decision
to waive the housing policy for one year
does not institute a permanent change in
the policy.
Cansler, who announced. Sitterson's
decision, said the junior transfer housing
requirement- has"' been, waived due to
enrollment pressures-for tlurvyxiirig
, year and .will be subject to, review at the
end of next year.

The Jubilee Evaluation Committee decided Sunday to
recommend to the Carolina Union Activities Group and the
Carolina - Union Board of Directors that Jubilee be
discontinued.
The Jubilee Evaluation Committee consists of all the people
who helped in producing this year's Jubilee. Their
recommendations will be considered by both the Union
Activities Group and the Union Board of Directors, a board
consisting of 10 students and six faculty members.
Union Activities President Richie Leonard concurred with
the decision and cited several reasons for his opposition to
. continuing Jubilee.
He noted that over the years the size of the crowd has
grown increasingly unmanageable and was worse this year even
with stringent attendance regulations.
Leonard felt such incidents as the theft of 150 rented,
yellow blinking lights would continue as long as large crowds
continue to assemble.
He pointed out that each light cost $13 and the Union
stood to suffer a large financial expense by paying for them.
He urged students to return any lights to the Union, and
said no questions will be asked.
Leonard said the size of the crowd made it impossible for
the Union to protect against any incidents for which the

Planning at Yale University; and Dr. John
Curtis, director of the Health Service at
the University of Georgia.
The consultants were charged by
Sitterson with the task of evaluating the
present Infirmary and making suggestions
about future goals.
The evaluation was deemed necessary
due to the retirement of present
Infirmary director Dr. Edward Hedgepeth
and the subsequent choice of a new
director, the imminence of a new building
and a campus climate of student
involvement and concern regarding the
health program.
The group met with and gained
information from various groups and
individuals from March 7-10.

Two students have been added to the
Residence Housing Appeals Committee
which hears requests for exemption from
the required policies, Cansler announced.
Putting the students on the Appeals
Committee was one of the proposals
made by the Junior Transfer Forum,
which requested liberalization of the
required transfer student housing policy.
"The Residence requirement has not
been changed," Cansler explained.
"We are simply saying it will be held in
abeyance next year. This seemed to be
necessary to provide housing for those
who we feel we must require housing
for," he said.
,The .unexpectedly large size of the
freshman class next fall is the essential
reason for the waiving of the policy

program, the committee suggested that
although the philosophy and goals of the
Infirmary have been spelled out clearly
by Dr. Hedgepeth, some of these goals are
not being met.
A lack of financing and administrative
backing, isolation and poor
communication with the Infirmary staff
were cited as reasons.
The communication gap between
student-patients (consumers) and
physicians (providers) was cited as a
possible source of future problems.
"Physicians (providers) must respond
in a meaningful manner or else risk
consumer protest and alienation," the
report stated.
The report was brief in its evaluation
of the present system while it went into

Cansler said the housing policy will be
reviewed sometime during the next
academic year.
"We will study the situation sometime
before the spring semester next year in
light of enrollment and other factors,"
Cansler said.
"I feel this gives us a year in which we
can meet our housing needs and further
study the housing prospects."
Freshmen and sophomore students are
still required to live in University housing,
except if exemption is granted "for
compelling reasons."
The chancellor's action was applauded
by Lee Hood Capps, student co-chairman
of the Junior Transfer Housing Forum,
but Capps complained that a more
permanent change in the policy should be
made. -

Union may be held legally responsible.
In addition to crowd problems, Leonard noted the location
of a Jubilee site for next year will be extremely difficult.
Plans have been, made to cover Navy Field with artificial
turfing and Kenan field has been fenced off making both areas
unavailable for future Jubilees.
Athletic Director Homer Rice said he had not given any
thought yet to what his response would be should the Union
request the use of either field next year.
Leonard said, 'The three day format for Jubilee is a
bankrupt concept. We should recognize that and quit spending
so much money annually for it."
Next year's president, Chuck Patrizia, said the end of
Jubilee would free a great deal of money for new and different
programs.
These include an expansion of the Broadway theater series
in Memorial Hall and more concerts in the spring, some of
them free.
Patrizia said, "We won't be losing the concerts so much as
the hassle of Jubilee. We'll maintain the Jubilee spint, perhaps
a day of kite flying and frisbee throwing topped off by a free
concert." . '
The final decision on Jubilee will not be made until the fall,
but Patrizia concluded, "As of yet we haven't heard any
counter-arguments that are really persuasive. The
recommendation is pretty straight-forward and I think it will
be, accepted." . .

recommendations for the future direction
of the health service. These included:
A student advisory committee or
board should be selected immediately.
Actual compositon of the committee or
board should be determined by the same
democratic method of forming other
student boards. This group might serve in
an advisory capacity to the director, and
must have voting power and help
establish policy.
-Clearly defined, written policies
must be established to set priorities, goals
and directions.
Consideration should be given to

dependents, staff and faculty.

In a letter to Sitterson, dated May 6,
Capps comments:
"Hopefully, as the UNC Housing
policy is reviewed next spring, your office
will add permanency to optional housing
for the upper college student (i.e., the
junior transfer)."
r Capps was complimentary of the
membership change of the Appeals
Committee from three administrators to
three administrators and two students.
The two students who will serve on
the board will be the president of the
junior class and a Residence College
Federation (RCF) representative of the
opposite sex.
The administration members of the
. Ward are Cansler, the Dean of Women
and the Dean of Men.
The appeals board hears all requests
for exemption from the University's
required housing policies.
According to Cansler, any such
requests for exemption should be made in
writing to the Resident Housing Appeals
Committee in care of the Office of
Residence Life. Reasons for the
exemption must be included in the
written request.
Exemptions are automatically granted
for married students, veterans of the
armed service with two or more years of
service, students over 21 years of age,
students with physical conditions
certified by the Student Health Service,
students whose legal residence with their
parents is within commuting distance of
the University, and for other special
conditions.
The other special conditions are
determined , by the appeals board,
according to official University policy.

More than 4500 students are
candidates for degrees to be awarded at
commencement finals May 30 at the
University.
A meeting of all degree candidates will
be held today at 4 p.m. in the Great Hall

Diplomas will go out to 1,001 students
who completed their work last August,
560 more who finished requirements in
commencement February. 1971. and
qualify for graduation at the end of the
spring semester.
The conference of the degrees is the
highlight of the events planned for the
177th commencement program.
Scheduled events begin at 10 a.m. on
Friday and continue until the final degree
distribution Sunday.
the University is totally inadequate.
Cooperation and coordination of
efforts should be achieved between the
Infirmary and the professional schools on
campus. Valuable resources exist that axe
not being utilized. More drug and sex
education and gynecological services
should be provided. There is an excellent
nurse practitioner program in the School
of Nursing. The Infirmary would be an
excellent training facility; and the
students a valuable manpower saver for
the Infirmary.
A change in the name and image is
necessary. The name "Infirmary" is
archaic and should be replaced by either
Student Health Center or University
Health Center.
-The financing of the Infirmary
should be reviewed. Student health fees
should be clearly identified as such and
an itemization of services available for
those fees should be published for the
students.
Budgetry accountability should be
reviewed. Any monies collected by the
Infirmary should be carefully and
completely recorded and perhaps set up
in a special foundation account. Private
fees should not be collected during the
time physicians are on duty for students.
Twenty-four hour care should be
provided.

value of having a health service on

-Establish a system of record-keeping
of daily functions.
-A transportation system should be
made available at all times for those
students who are ill or injured.
A pharmacy should be established in
thr Infirmary to provide medications to
siddents either free or at cost.
Staffing and utilization of personnel
should be reviewed. Over-trained and
under-utilized persons are performing
inefficiently and uneconomicaUy. The
physician must be relieved of all duties
that interfere with his primary concern,
the care of the patient.
A thorough review needs to be made
of the relationship between the Infirmary
and the Dean of Students office.
In conclusion, the report stated UNC
can be a model for the deliv ery of health
care with all the resources the University
possesses. This is possible, if and only if,
the University (students and
administrators) is willing to pay the price.

The Publications Board must decide
whether or not Student Graphics will
remain open during the summer. The
expense incurred by continuing to rent
the IBM equipment during the summer
must be weighed against the expected
profits to determine if the printshop will
be financially able to continue in

If it is determined that the financial
