CO. Cathey, dean of Student Affairs,
notified Student Body President Joe
Stallings the sale violated a Board of
Trustees ruling.
Stallings said he will consult with a
lawyer on the legalities of the situation
by next Monday.
A letter from Cathey to Stallings said,

The Student Health Service wiil begin
distributing 10,000 copies of a new drug
information booklet, "On Either Side of

Dean of Men Fred Schroeder said
Thursday the 30-page booklet is the work
of the 1 7-member UNC Student Drug
Information Coordinating Committee.
Faculty, graduate students and
undergraduate students serve on the
committee.
"The pamphlet is not a pro-drug
booklet or a moralistic tract," Schroeder
said. ""Its primary concern is accuracy."
Schroeder said the booklet will include
a complete explanation of drugs in eight
categories: marijuana, hallucinogens,
opiates, cocaine, amphetamines,
baibiturates, ethyl alcohol and other

The establishment of toll-free
telephone service between Chapel Hill
and Durham now appears unlikely within
the near future.
The General Telephone Company of
Durham has asked the N.C. Court of
Appeals to rescind a recent State Utilities
Commission order to establish toll-free
service.
The appeal, filed last Tuesday,
contends fhe commission should not have
ordered the company to provide intercity
service without providing additional
revenue to cover the costs.

according to a 1948 ruling.
The letter noted all merchandising
activities on the campus are under the
direct supervision and control of the
University administration. It also said
merchandising profits were to be made
available to students through the
University Student Aid Committee.
Cathey said his office had no objection
to Student Government securing a license
to sell and a place off-campus to make
such sales.
"That is the regulation," said Cathey
Thursday afternoon. "We cannot iolate
this regulation."

In addition, he said there will be
chapters on the medical hazards of
mainlining, psychological and social
hazards of drug use. drugs and the law
and general procedures for emergencies
and services available to drug users in the
Chapel Hill area.
The booklet's title came from Louis
Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland."
The booklets were produced at a cost
of $2,000. The Student Health Service
secured funds through a University grant.
The booklet's final draft, completed
this summer, will be distributed free to
students in dorms, fraternities and
sororities on Monday. They will be
available to off-campus students in the
Student I'nion starting Wednesdav.
General Telephone maintains they will
incur an additional investment of at least
$1,532,207 and require additional
revenue of at least $548.0-40 annually
from Durham subscribers to provide
Durham-Chapel Hill Extended Area
Service (toll free).
General Telephone estimated it would
need $1.21 a month per telephone patron
in additional revenues.
The company said the commission's
failure to set a rate schedule for the new
service, while at the same time ordering
the new service put into effect
"constitutes a violation of due process
and equal protection" as guaranteed by
state and federal constitutions.

RALEIGH - Members of the State
Senate and House Higher Education
Committees agreed Thursday to begin
public hearings Sept. 13 on various
proposals for restructuring higher
education in N'.C.
The agreement came during a
two-hour meeting at the legislative
Building in Raleigh. House Committee
Chairman Rep. Perry Martin
(D-N'orthampton) said the committees
would "try to dispose of all public
hearings that week whether it takes to
Tuesday or Thursday."
He said after the hearings have
concluded the committee members will
decide v. hen to reconvene to debate the
issue.
Senate Committee Chairman Sen.
Russell Kirby (D-Wilson) said "We hope
to come up with some proposal to
present to the General Assembly. The
legislature is scheduled to convene here
Oct. 26 for a one-topic session on higher
education.
Meanwhile. Sen. John Burney
(D-Wilmington) said Thursday 3S of the
50 senators have agreed to attend his
conference on restructuring higher
education, scheduled at Wrightsville
Beach Sept. 17-18, the same weekend as
the Democratic Party Luau.
"I would hope everyone will come to
my meeting with an open mind," he said.
"We are going to study the problem and
try to determine what is best for North
Carolina."
Wilson, presidential advisor on residence
life, Wednesday morning. He and Wilson
decided there was no alternative but to
stop sales for the present.
"This is an unfortunate interpretation
of the selling policy of the University,"
said Stallings. "We want to check into all
the legalities of the situation and get an
independent ruling."
Carpet sales were going extremely
well, according to Wilson. His office
asked Carpet Outlet, a Durham firm, to
order more carpet remnants from its state
stores rather than wait for the mill to
send an order.
The carpets were delivered to Durham
Thursday evening.
"They're going to have to haul them
all back to their stores now," said Wilson.
"The real disappointment is there was
such an unexpected demand for the
carpets," he added. "Many people were
turned away this afternoon, cither in
person or on the phone."
"This is a service many students
obviously wanted," said Stallings. "We
have been quelled in our efforts to
provide this service. I hope it's only
temporary."
"I don't doubt Cathey's sincerity, but
this does not mean I agree with him."
Stallings commented. "I personally doubt
the sale is illegal."
Cathey said Stallings' decision to seek
a lawyer's advice is "quite appropriate if
he thinks he has any relief from this
restriction."
TODAY: Partly cloudy and mild

"What the commission is requiring is
that General Telephone must put this
new plant and equipment into service,
continue this free service for a test
period, and then petition the commission
for a rate hearing, so that this new plant
and equipment can finally be included in
the rate base." the brief continues.
"Then and only then under the
commission's order will the rates be
adjusted to provide General with any
compensation for the public's use ot
General's new plant and equipment."

'Another Norcold refrigerator' is being carried avay by two

'Confusion' blamed

re:

Staff Writer
The Student Services Commission
failed to rent out about 160 of their 600
refrigerators Thursday, although the
University has issued about 1.300
refrigerator permits to students.
Robert Grady. Commission director,
attributed slow rentals to "confusion
among students" concerning rental
procedures.
"Originally. v.e planned to have single
lines at several locations on campus where
students could pick up their permits and
refrigerators at the same time," Grady
said.
"When that plan was dumped by the
administration, we were forced to have
second lines on another day." he added.
"It created a lot of confusion and
hardship."
Grady said the commission will rent
remaining refriserators some time next

In that petition. Triangle Teiecasters
stated the continuance of three separate
exchanges in Raleigh. Durham and Chapel
Hill "retards desirable area development,
prevents economic integration of the
three communities, and deprives residents
of each communitv of access to service
stores and friends located m the
respective communities."
Last spring, the State Utilities
Commission acted on the petition and
ordered General Telephone and the
Chapel Hill Telephone Companv to
establish toll-free service.

Opponents of Scott's proposals, led b

After the committee's two-hour
discussion Thursday. Martin summed up
committee opinion this wav : "'I hae
observed a good demeanor here, a g.od
attitude. a determination to do
something. I think there's going to be real
determination by this committee to do
that's best for North Carolina."
During the discussion, there ua some

them.
Refrigerators and permits were
originally Scheduled for distribution
beginning 10 a.m. Wednesday at nine
ditferent locations, but UNC Office of
Residence Life decided Tuesday to alter
distribution plans.
Many permits were distributed by
floors instead of the previously
designated dormitory social rooms or
basements.
The commission said permits were
given out at various times, but Residence
Life spokesmen declared all permit
distribution began at 10 a.m. except in
two locations where students decided to
charge the time.
The Commission charged "confusion"
and varying times of distribution made it
impossible for all students to have an
equ.il chance at the permits.
Charles Gi'ham, student legislator and
commission member, said one James
resident adviser had no? given out
Companv . filed a brief of its own.
In its appeal, the University claimed
the commission did not have jurisdiction
over the Chape! H!1 Telephone Company.
The appeal also claimed the order was
improper because it had not provided for
a poll of the affected telephone
customers.
Robinson O. Everett, president of
Triangle Teiecasters. reported his
companv will tile a reply to the two
appeals b next Friday.
"There is no doubt that they (Genera!
Telephone are entitled to compensation,
but we hope the original decision by the
commission sticks." Everett said.
