The student body can and must solve
the current graduate studem fundmg
controversy, says Graduate and
Professional Student Federation President
Walter Baggett.
A n u m b e r of c o n s 1 1 1 u 1 1 o n a 1
amendments to this effect will he
submitted by GPSF to Student
Legislature, he added.
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. If they passed these
amendments, then a referendum could be
held to let the students decide."

"We are going to resubmit the
constitutional amendments we offered in
early December of last year, since it is our
understanding those amendments have
been killed in committee," Baggett
added.
GPSF" decided during the summer to
circulate a referendum petition if all
other attempts failed.

Residents of Alexander. Connor,
Joyner. and Winston will vote today in a

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.

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

Government, we may be forced to

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."

the group at the beginning of school this
year.
"1 am pretty confident the proposal

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

"only at the end of the spring semester
did I realize the total cost of the course."
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?"
