nHi off f it Xza Years of Editorial Freedom Monday, September 20, 1971 Vol. 80, No. 17 Founded February 23. 1S93 t iX T ttee endorse n iresura nurm by Evans Witt Staff Writer Another proposal calling for strengthening the state Board of Higher Education and retaining the C onsolidate University was endorsed Sunday hy a group of UNC trustees. The proposed changes, revealed t h : . weekend by N.C. Rep. Ike Andrews (D-Chatham) and State Senator John J. Burney (D-New Hanover), were endorsed by the University Committee on Development and group of "interested trustees", said Jake Froelkh, chairman of the committee. The plan was presented to some 50 members of the General Assembly in meetings organized by Andrews jnd Burney. The legislators reception of the plan was less than enthusiastic. Much of the Sunday afternoon meeting of the trustees was taken up with an explanation of the plan by Andrews, a member of the Trustees' Executive Committee, according to Consolidated University President William C. Friday. "I he Ar.drews-Bumey plan calls for retaining the present structure of state-supported higher education, giving the state Board of Higher Education veto power over new programs. The state board, to be renamed the N.C. Commission of Higher Education, would also be given advisory and budget review powers over all 16 state institutions. The six members of the legislature presently on the state board are not included in the proposed commission. Initially, the Governor would appoint 12 members of the 21-member commission. Each future governor would be able to appoint only two members of the commission each year he is in the Governor's Mansion. A two-year moratorium oi the establishment of new doctoral degree programs is part of the Andrews-Burney plan. President Friday endorsed such a moratorium before a legislative committee last week. v i 4- t ' s a ? win h i W I V f I No, the church steeple is not being lifted from its foundation.

The music is "Progressive Rock" but emphasis is on student requests. Several special features will appear. Campus celebrities will occasionally appear as guest D J's. Most will be athletes including Dennis Wuycik, Bill Chamberlain, and Paul Miller. Tentatively scheduled is a campus-wide treasure hunt with clues given on the air. Also on the agenda are on-the-air long distance phone calls to various dignitaries pi .an live without being : without being Burney defended the plan as "designed to build on what we now have." Tt deals with existing problems in such a way that p radical, and e'le. destructive." he s.jid. Senators and representatives present at meetings this weekend did not share Burney 's enthusiasm for such a mild proposal. Senator George Wood (D-Camden) told the senators the new proposal "won't accomplish a thing." Wood also criticized the new plan for not eliminating the current lobbying by individual institutions in legislature for special programs and monies. He added that the proposed commission was not protected from legislative tampering. Several state representatives were displeased with various aspects of the Andrews-Burney plan, but were not as opposed to it as Wood, a member of the Senate Higher Education Committee. Supporters of Gov. Scott's restructuring proposals attacked the new plan as being no remedy for the ills of state higher education. "What's new?" said Senator J. Russell Kirby (D-Wilson). "I don't see anything new or novel in this plan." Kirby is chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee. Rep. Perry Martin (D-Northhampton), chairman of the House Higher Education Committee, was even more sharply critical of the Andrews-Burney plan. "I don't know anything about this plan except that he has a bill that Ike Andrews prepared," Martin said. "1 don't think the bill does anything worthwhile." "The only support it has is from people who don't want to do anything," he added. "I don't think anyone has given the bill serious consideration." Burney did not seem particularly perturbed at the reception the proposal received. "This shows that they are thinking about the issue and that's what we want," he said. The two-day meeting organized by Burney in Wrightsville Beach attracted some 26 state senators from the approximately 40 invited. Some 30 state representatives attended the High Point conference sponsored by Andrews. All 120 House members had been invited to the Andrews meeting.

Studv" photo by Cliff Kolovson) ittergon (Staff endorses restrnctaFiii UNC Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson favors restructuring state-supported higher education but refuses to endorse any specific proposal, reported the Chapel Hill Weekly in their Sunday edition. He could not be reached for comment by The Daily Tar Heel. "There is one thing I would stress," Sitterson said, "and that's build from strength. It's only common sense." Sitterson says much of the strength of the current Consolidated University system is the strength of the Chapel Hill campus, according to the story. "The campus here is a University in its own right: relatively complete, self-contained and independent," he explained. The outstanding quality of both the faculty and administration with whom Sitterson has worked in the tast six years as Chancellor are important facets of his view on changes in the systems of higher education, the paper said. "The faculty at this University are of much higher quality than at really any of the other campuses in the state, with the possible exception of North Carolina State--but not really even that," he is quoted as saying. Sitterson also praised the current Consolidated University administration. "I know Bill Friday is a competent and comprehending administrator," Sitterson said. "You can't ask me to agree to go along with an unknown quantity when I know that what I've got has quality administration," he added. Sitterson's belief in the quality of the Chapel Hill campus and of the General Administration of the Consolidated University might lead him to endorse the Faculty Advisory Committee report announced this week. "I would think the best way to assure quality would be to start from the University," says Sitterson.

Saturday's game against Carolina was the last gas station before Death Valley. The Illini play USC, Washington. Ohio State and Michigan the next four weeks, and have no more chance against them than they did in their 27-0 loss to the Tar Heels in Champaign's Memorial Stadium. Carolina simply ran over Illinois with all the subtlety of a Brahma bull. Ike Oglesby. who gained 167 yards on the ground and caught a 58-yard touchdown pass from Paul Miller, danced around his slower opponents throughout the crisp afternoon. The Carolina defense completely frustrated quarterback Mike Wells and finally sent him out of the game, while repeatedly blunting the Illini thrusts on third-down situations. The trouncing will undoubtedly boost UNC into national prominence, because Illinois is in the Big Ten and the Big Ten is supposedly big time. But the Tar Heels belong in the limelight. Illinois took advantage of a poor Nick Vidnovic punt and stood a half-yard away from a first down on the UNC 37, early in the first quarter. But inside linebacker John Anderson blasted through and dropped John Wilson four yards behind the scrimmage line. Later in the period, the Heels were stopped and punted to the Illini 28. where linebacker Octavus Morgan was prepared to down the ball. So prepared, in fact, that he didn't notice the ball hitting him in the back. r UNC tackle Bob Pratt noticed, however, and fell on it. Wingback Lew Jolley cut back for 13 yeards. and six plays later Miller faked to Oglesby, fooling the defense, and sneaked across for a touchdown from the two. In the second period, after linebacker Ricky Packard killed a drive by deflecting a pass. Carolina put together an lS-play drive that ended w ith Ken Craven's 2 1 -yard Held goal. Packard, at 183 pounds, then joined John Bunting to nail Wilson at the Carolina 2 to preserve the 10-0 halftime lead. The most important development of the second quarter. as it turned out. were two innocent-looking hook patterns run by right end John Cowell. On both occasions. Illinois double-covered him, and the Carolina coaches noticed it upstairs. 6 en jtoe On third-and-five at the Carolina 42, Miller dropped back. Cowell hooked again, and the Illini reacted again. So Oglesby sauntered out of the backfield, "ran under" Miller's pass on the Illinois 35, and presumably could have run to Indianapolis without being touched. The play killed Illinois chances, and the rest of the game was a succession of time-killing UNC drives, another Craven field goal, and a three-yard Oglesby blast for the last touchdown. The scoring run came after Ike's 24-yard scamper on a pitchout play. For Blackman and the crowd of 4l.3Ml (in a 71.000-seat stadium) it was another scoreless week. That has a different connotation for UNC Coa.h Bill Dooley and defensive co-ordinator Lee Haylcy. vvho watched the defense give up 203 linoi, yards but stop the important plays time and ::gi:n in the first half. The Tar Heels -unbeaten, untied an J unscored-upon - play Maryland next Saturday in Kenan Stadium.
