In., operations at UNC. "Renovations in Chase Hall ire ')5 per cent complete and 98 per cent complete in the Pme Room," said Greer. "We realize we've not done the job in the past that the students expect, but we're going to do it." Food preparation in Chase has been completely changed. In the past, food was prepared downstairs and brought up to the serving area, often allowing the food to get cold in the involved process. "I he kitchen has now been moved to directly behind the serving area. The Fine Room has aho been completely re-done, doing away with !a.t year's system of preparing the food in Chase and busing it over to the Pine Room. "Chase Hall and the Pine Room GPSF by Norma Black Staff Writer The graduate and professional students on the UNC campus have attempted during the past year to establish a separate student government. During the summer, the controversy surrounding the graduate student government recognition assumed a new dimension, with the announcement by Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson that he would recognize the Graduate and Professional Students Federation (GPSF) as "an organized semi-independent agency of Student Government, but not as an organization or governing unit separate from and independent of existing Student Government." Walter Baggett, President of GPSF, expressed surprise at the recent turn of events. Gradmate by Norman Black Staff Writer The Graduate and Professional Siudent Federation (GPSF), as it is now called, had its formal beginning on this campus in May 1968, as the Graduate Student Federation. The objectives of the association, as set forth in their constitution were "to promote the intellectual, professional and social interests of the entire graduate student body at this University." The Student Government Budget .adopted in March, 1970, included an appropriation of $26,875 to the Graduate Student Association (GSA) and the statement that the GSA "shall be responsible for the organization of a Graduate Student Government (GSG) responsible for allocation of above funds." The Budget Act further stipulated that this government be formed by a "conference committee" composed of five representatives from the GSA and five from the undereraduate student Cam" What is the Campus Calendar?

Greer. Meal pla: ill-service cafetenas," said sales are well-above last year's totals. Servornation now offers a number of different plans catering to the needs of the individual student. Additionally, a new system m effect this year allows the student more food per meal. Last year's plan provided for the student to select whatever items he wished up to a certain allotment. For instance, breakfast included all food up to 90 cents, lunch was all food up to SI. 40. etc. This year, students buy a set meal. Breakfast includes juice or fruit, hot cakes or eggs or french toast, hot or cold cereal, bacon or sausage, donuts or sweet roll or toast, and milk. Thi constitutes much greater savings for the student, according to Art Nielson, assistant director of the food service. Chase Hall and the Pine Room will offer different menus each day. Both will offer six entrees daily, four vegetables, a wide selection of salads and desserts and a large choice of beverages. Nielson indicated Servomation expects to employ more than 100 persons when controversy becoming more involved. Last February, Chancellor Sitterson said he intended "to recognize the GPSF as the representative and governing agency for all graduate and professional students enrolled in the University" and "that beginning with fall semester, the GPSF will be responsible for the administration of student activity fees collected from its constituency." "It is interesting that the Chancello. recognizes the value and even the necessity of an independent government, yet inexplicably he moves to subordinate it to Student Government, Baggett said. "We fell that separation is in the best interests of both the undergraduate and graduate students of this campus, and we will continue to work for this separation." Student Body President Joe Stallings does not agree with Bagett, however. ototlto formed in 1968 ID body, and that these funds not be expended "until Student Legislature approves the composition, financial system, constitution and by-laws of a GSG. It was further states: "It shall be understood that all graduate student funds shall be allocated by the Graduate Student Governmetn in the 1971-72 budget provided such government is established." On October 14, 1970, a spokesman for the GSA informed Tommy Bello, then president of the student body, that in accordance with the Budget Act of the previous snring, several meetings of graduate and professional students were to be held to explore sentiment concerning a new government, and requested that Bello appoint a team of negotiators. These meetings culminated in the reorganization of the GSA in November, 1970, as the Graduate Student Coordinating Committee (GSCC), a broadly based organization of graduate c alendar in the paper, just come by the office two days in advance and place your notice in the Calendar basket.

Greer comes to Carolina this eaj trorn the University of Virginia, where he has been the business manager and head of the catering service. Food service at Virginia, a campus half the size of Carolina, did four times Carolina's volume. Twenty-five per cent of all upperclassmen bought the meal plans. "Here that obviously hasn't been the situation," said Greer. "But that's our aim. If students sign up for another year, we'll know we're doing something right." "With our renovations it is now easier for us to operate 2nd in turn give the customer better service. V c will listen to the customer and our employees to use their suggestions to improve our service. Communication has to be open. We are in need of constructive criticism, and sometimes the student sees wrong that even we miss." Servomation's Snack Bar in the Student Union will remain the same after much re-modeling last year. The Mini-Union in Chase Hall will offer drinks, cold sandwiches, and snacks. J "If the Chancellor were to give unilateral reconition to a separate graduate student government, it would mean the prostitution of a student constitution ratified by the entire Chapel Hill student body. This same student body should be consulted before altering the constitution under which we live. "The role the GPSF should play is that of a semi-independent body as established by Student Legislature last pnng," Stallings said. "This would put tnem in the same category as the Residence College Federation and the Black Student Movement. They would be allocated money the the legislature, and could advocate plans for the interests of their grads quite effectively," he continued. Stallings feels there should be only and professional students, whose stated purpose was "to draw up a constitution for a permanent graduate and professional students organization which will receive and allocate student activity fees and which will officially represent these students in all matters." President Bello was again requested, on Nov. 2 and Dec. 4, to appoint the undergraduate members of the "conference committee" to work on the structure of the graduate student government. But the delegation was never appointed. Meantime, leaders of the GSCC were busy during the October-December period drafting a constitution for a separate graduate and professional student government. On Dec. 10, a resolution was introduced in the Student Legislature which calls for a referendum on changes in the Student Constitution to acknowledge the separation of graduate and professional students from Student Government. The Student Legislature has failed to take action on this resolution. On Jan 26, the chairman of the GSCC reported to the Chancellor on his lack of success in negotiations, and informed him that the proposed constitution of a Graduate and Professional Student Crossword Puzzle ACROSS 1 Vehicle 4 Tooth 9 Part of face 12 Poem 13 Place for combat 14 Period of tima 15 Unit of Bulgarian currency 16 Professional tennis champion 17 Indian memorial post 18 Lubricate 20 Fragrant oleoresin 22 Is ill 24 Eiist 25 Performs 23 African antelope 29 Abstract being 30 Breathe loud'y in s!eep 31 St'iCt 33 Lcng. wearyirg t"e (coltoq.) 34 Legatees 35 Sunburn 36 UcocWed 3S Sict packet 39 Ot struct 40 Fatner 41 At no time 43 Pa-1 of body 44 G'eek tetter 46 Pcmt of view 43 In what manned 51 Weight of India 52 Beef animal 53 Female sheep 54 Declare 55 Chemical compound 55 Communist DOWN 1 Mountain pass 2 Fruit drink 3 One who advocates radical change 4 Shaded walk 5 Anglo-Saxon money 6 Prying devices 7 Give extreme unction to 8 Unusual 9 Compiler of dictionary 10 Man's name 11 Stroke 19 Exists 21 Horse's neck hair 22 Symbol for silver 23 Piece set in 24 Girl's name 25 Pay the tab 27 Compass pcmt -if I - Moving into a dormitory can be have more clothes than space.

"Students don't want more bureaucracy. "Ther should only be one Student Legislature with the authority to allocate student fees, and there should only be one student body president with appointive power and the duties assigned by the constitution," Stallings added. As a result of the Chancellor's decision, the GPSF has decided on two courses of action. They have already sent a letter to each member of the Board of Trustees, asking that the board resolve the controversy. Howeer, Baggett is doubtful the Board of Trustees will even consider the matter before December. "We had honed tliev would consider Federation had been accepted by an overwhelming majority of graduate students. At that time, he also requested "official recognition of the new body as the representative organization of all graduate students and those professional schools that choose to join the body." Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson responded to this request on Feb. 5, with a promise of interim recognition and official recognition effective with the opening of the fall semester provided that certain conditions be net. The Senate of the GPSF held its organizational meeting on Feb. 15, elected Walter Baggett as president of the Federation, and proceeded with the development of its by-laws. President Baggett reported to the Chancellor on April 9 that the GSPF had, without success, "made every possible effort to achieve a resolution of the problem of separation," and requested recognition of "The GPSF as the representative and governing agency for all graduate and professional students enrolled in the University." However, on July 19, Chancellor Sitterson announced that GPSF would not be recognized as an independent governing body by the beginning of the fall semester.

"But the administration has assured us that since they control the agenda for the board, the trustees won't act until December." If the Board of Trustees does not resolve the controversy, the GPSF can gain independence only by successfully calling for and winning a student referendum. There are presently two established procedures for amending the Student Constitution: calling a referendum by a two-thirds vote of the Student Legislature, and calling a referendum after receiving a petition signed by 10 per cent of the student body. "Joe Stallings has said the student body should be consulted before altering the constitution," Baggett said. "The Student Legislature has had the necessary amendments bottled up in their Constitution Committee since mid-December. If they passed these amendments, then a referendum could be held to let the students decide. "We have not circulated a petition because we saw no reason for circumventing the Student Legislature," he continued. "But after 18 months of fruitless attempts to cooperate with the undergraduate-dominated Student Government, we will begin circulating a petition this fall." GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK! HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
