The decision was reached during .1 meeting of the GPSF' Fxecutive board Sept. 9. If the amendments are success!u!! reported out by Student Legislature, a student referendum would be called t determine whether an independent graduate student government would be established. The graduate and professional students at UNC have attempted to establish a separate student government for a ear. There are presently two established procedures for amending the Student Constitution: calling a referendum K two-thirds vote of Student Legislature, and calling a referendum with a petition signed by 10 per cent of the student body. "Joe Staliings has said the student body should be consulted before altering the constitution." said Baggett. 'The Student Legislature has had the necessary amendments bottled up in their Constitution Committee since mid-December.

"We have not circulated a petition because w e s a w n o reason for circumventing Student Legislature." Baggett said.

Connor, Joyner. and Winston will vote today in a referendum to decide the fate of a proposed residence college for the four dormitories. The polls will be open from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. in each of the four dormitories. Only members of these dorms w ill vote in the referendum. The balloting will concern three issues: (1) formation of a residence college: (2) acceptance of a constitution drawn up by the new residence college committee: and (3) membership in the Residence College federation. .beg '"Scottissue focuses on the college news so people know what's going on." she continued. "Fditonals tocu on issues impottanl to the college." "There is never au limitation on the papei because lack of news." added O'Neal. "Theie's jut lack of space." The paper reports social activities within the college, informal talks presented by dorms, college suppers, free flicks tor college residents, parking problems relating to the college, and news of the Scott senate. Fditonals have been concerned with college issues.

Cristas ettin by Doug Hall Staff Writer The major problem of the Unoersity's only human sexuality course is "trying to tie down any official to find out where you can find funds," the course professor said Tuesday. Dr. Takey Crist, assistant professor of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and assistant professor of health education, said: "Somebody could come up with the money to run this course. We're talking about peanuts. I personally leely that higher education must take very' seriously this very important part of education." "Topics in Human Sexuality," Health Education 33, was created last semester. The course is suffering from a lack of Broblem Government, we may be forced to circulate a petition this fall." The graduate organization also sent a letter to each member of the UNC Board of Trustees during the summer, asking the board to resolve the controversy. But Baggett is doubtful the Board of Trustees will consider the matter before December, even if they decide to intervene. "We had hoped they would consider our position at their August meeting," Baggett said. "But the administration has assured us that since they control the agenda for the board, the trustees won't act until December." A simple majority is required to pass the proposal. A.J. deKeyzer. Alexander president, is chairman of the new residence college committee. Alexander. Winston (boys' dorms). Connor and Joyner (girls' dorms) each have three representatives on the committee. The committee will meet Thursday to validate the results of the referendum and set up an election committee. Students will elect officers and vote on a name for the residence college in approximately two weeks if the measure is passed.

Robert R. Wilson, chairman of the Human Sexuality Committee, said Monday the course has received no official University funding. He said the committee is investigating several possible sources of revenue but it has not received favorable responses from the University administration. Dr. Guy W. Steuart. chairman of the health education department, said Tuesday some funds will be released for the course from the School of Public Health and his department. Steuart termed the course "highly desirable" and said he favors its continuation. He said he will be "very urprised if something causes it to close." But, Steuart said he had not ..nticipated the financial problems and solved. Last summer Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson said he would recognize 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." Student Body President Joe Staliings thinks there should be only one Student Government at Chapel Hill. "To have two student governments on this campus will divide jurisdiction and influence to the point that both are ineffective." Staliings said. "Students don't want more bureaucracy." up a constitution. An orientation program for the dorms was sponsored by the group at the beginning of school this year. "1 am pretty confident the proposal wiil pass." deKeyzer said Tuesday. "The success of the orientation program and student interest in the area are encouraging." The residence college will be formed with only those dorms favoring the proposal. "It can be formed with three or even two of the dorms." deKeyzer said. The dorms had tried to form a college before, deKeyzer said, but plans never materialized. year . with collece leaders or college policv in promoting what it believed was in the best interest o!

He said the "speed with which the initial course was set up" added to the financial problems and left his department unprepared to meet expenses. "There is not anv question that the vast majority of faculty, administrators and students are in favor of the course." Steuart said. "And quite a number ot people olf campus, including parents, are not onl favorable." he added. "They are highly enthusiastic." Steuart estimated the course would co-t about $2,000 per semester. " t the moment, we are trying to find funds to keep the course afloat." he said. He said he did not know what provisions will be made for permanent funding ot the course. Alter the course was created last spring, Crist submitted a budget of $4.M)0 per semester, to the Depji imciit of Health Fducation. which included compensation for his time. Crist would not receive any additional salary for teaching the course, but the health education department must pay the School of Medicine for his services. Steuart said. The initial budget was rejected for lack of funds. The course was financed last semester through about $700 in contributions from individuals and schools of the University, Wilson said. The Human Sexuality committee set a budget of $800 for this semester but has received only S250 thus far from the School of Nursing. 'The facts speak for themselves," Crist said. "We are turning away from 400 to 500 students each semester who can't get into the course because of limited space, time, money and instructors. Why?" r . i 4 Al V V -a.
