An advisory council on 0,r.v,lidated
University policies on alcoholic beverages
reached no final decisions Wednesday on
proposed changes in its Veer, wine' and
liquor regulations.
'I he council, composed of student
body presidents and admim.tmme
officials, considered at length a proposal
to allow students of legal age to possess
and consume alcohol in their dormitory
rooms.
The proposal, in rough form, also
provided that the chancellors of each
Consolidated University branch could
designate areas other than dorm rooms

Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson
endorsed Wednesday expansion of the
Consolidated University system as the
b e s t means of restructuring
state-supported higher education.
In a letter to the editor of The Chapel
Hill Weekly, Sitterson clarified
misconceptions of his position on
deconsolidation of the University
resulting from a Weekly story.
The Weekly reported last Sunday
Sitterson favored a change in the
administrative structure of state higher
education. The story did not elaborate on
what type of structure the chancellor
favored.

Legislative committee hearings on
restructuring N.C. higher education
reopen today in raleigh. while opposition
to Gov. Bob Scott. s plan to deconsolidate
the Consolidated University may be
weakening.
In other developments in the
controversy, Scott rejected the
restructuring plan endorsed by the
Consolidated University Board of
Trustees.
Lindsay Warren, a former state senator
and chairman of the special study
commission on higher education
appointed by Scott, is scheduled to
appear this morning before the Joint
House and Senate Higher Education
Co mm ittee.
The committee held four days of
hearings last week in preparation for the
special General Assembly session on
higher education slated to begin Oct. 26.
The committee has scheduled further
hearings for Friday.

In the Wednesday statement. Sitterson
said the needs of education in the state
can best be served by '"building from
strength." he called for the extension of
the Consolidated system statewide.
He suggested the General Assembly
give such an expanded system new
powers.
"And most importantly," he
explained, "(the legislature must give) the
enlarged system the necessary budget and
educational program powers.'
The question of local representation
on the UNC Board of Trustees and local
policy decisions was also faced by
Sitterson. He asked for representation on
the Board of Trustees from each of the
newly acquired car ipu-cs.

Consolidated University President
William C. Friday, Duke University
President Terry Sanford and former
Chape! Hill Chancellor WUliam B. Aycoek
were among the witnesses before the
committee in the first week of hearings.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported
Wednesday that opposition to a central
governing board for all the state's
universities is weakening within the Board
of Trustees' Executive Committee.
The story said several members of the
committee urged the group to drop its
opposition to the Scott plan.
A desire to share in shaping of a plan
which has a greater chance of passing the
General Assembly during its special
session is the reason given for this change
of some trustees.
Another factor in the apparent shift in
the position of some trustees, the Journal
said, was that the plan proposed by Sen.
John J. Burney (P-New Hanover) and
Rep. Ike Andrews (D-Chatham) has not
gained many advocates.
A group of trustees, including most of
the Executive Committee, endorsed the

The establishment of subcommittees
to serve as local governing boards for each
campus was also proposed by the
chancellor. Such subcommittees would
have "responsibility for local campus
policies," Sitterson said, "but with
powers clearly defined by the governing
board.'
Sitterson made several points in the
letter in support of his proposal.
"Historically, in multi-campus
university systems...the original
campus. ..was understandably the source
of the educational strength of the
system," he said.
He emphasized that University centers
in Chapel Hill, Madison. Wis., and
Berkely, Cal. and others had provided the
means of improvement of the other

Andrews- Burney plan in a special
meeting in Chapel Hill last Sunday.
In a news conference in Charlotte
Tuesday, Scott said he is increasingly
optimistic about his plans to reorganize
state-supported higher education.
The Winston-Salem Journal quoted
Scott as saying he was more optimistic
than he was two weeks ago about the
possibilities for a strong governing board
for all state universities.
Scott a 1 s o rejected the
Andrews-Burney plan for restructuring
higher education.
Scott claimed the new plan did not
accomplish his objective of having only
one voice speak for all of N.C. higher
education.
Protection for rights of the minorities
in the state system was also a topic
mentioned by the governor.
"We must assure minority
representation on the governing board,
both in terms of race and political party
and we must assure that the board is
broadly based across the state." Scott
added.

campuses in their respective systems.
Citing the effectiveness of
consolidated administration, Sitterson
said, "such a system promotes
cooperation and minimizes wasteful
competition."
He added the "effective allocation of
functions, cooperation and the leadership
of the central administration" enabled all
the state's campuses to benefit from
Chapel Hill's excellence.
Also through such a system, Sitterson
argues the state can receive greater
benefit from its most outstanding
campuses.
Sitterson's restructuring plan is very
similar to that proposed by the
Chancellor's Faculty Advisory
loiT.mittee. The advisory group's position
was revealed Sept. 10 at the first General
Faculty meeting of the year by Dr. Dan
Okun, faculty chairman.
The faculty group called for bringing
two or three regional universities into the
Consolidated system each year until all
the institutions were contained within the
University. It also proposed diversifying
the membership of the Board of Trustees
and giving it new powers.
"The new board should have the
power to determine programs, budgets,
personnel and property practices within
component units," the group said.
Sitterson's proposed restructuring is
not in agreement with the University
Board of Trustees' action last Sunday
endorsing the Andrews-Burney plan.
The trustees ag.ceu with the proposal
put forth by two N.C. legislators. Sen.
John J. Burney (D-New Hanover) and
Rep. Ike Andrews (D-Chatham). This
plan calls for strengthening the State
Board of Higher Education and retention
of the present Consolidated University.

An amended version of a bill calling
for a referendum on student financial
support for a University and town bus
service comes to the floor of Student
Legislature tonight.
The bill, sponsored by Representative
Clayton Woodard. states that an October
5 referendum would allow students in
University housing to accept or reject a
S5 increase in room rent to subsidize an
expanded bus system.
"The S5 increase would provide bus
service around the entire campus as well
as to Eastgate Shopping Center and
outlying parking areas," Woodard said.
He said the proposed increase would
provide S7 1,000 in revenue for the bus
system. Students Living in University
housing and their spouses would be able
to ride the buses free.
In addition, off-campus students,
faculty and staff members would be able
to purchase a pass to ride the buses for
S5. Woodard had no estimate of the
bat these quaJicatsor.

"Last year the buses cost S45.5O0,"
Woodard said. "The ten cents fee to ride
the buses was inadequate to pay this cost.

The present bus system mainly serves

"I don't think the present system

should," Woodard said. "And if students
fund the system entirely, they will have

Woodard 's bill would provide a
