A faculty committee report on the
death of UNC football player Bill Arnold
will be presented to the regular meeting
of the f aculty Council at 4:00 p.m.
today in 1 1 1 Murphey Hall.
The report of the Faculty Committee
on Athletics will be presented by Dr. I d
Hedgpeth, Committee Chairman. He also
headed the subcommittee that actually
conducted the investigation of Arnold's
death.
Arnold, of Staten I land, N.Y., died
September 21 from liver and kidney
complications, resulting from a heat
stroke he suffered during a UNC varsity
football practice September 6.
The investigation was initiated the
week following Arnold's death. Dr. Dan
Okun, UNC faculty chairman, said at that
time the study was to "dispell rumors"
surrounding the sophomore guard's
death.

freshmen action
Personal freedom is important but
"many times collective action is a
prerequisite to insuring individual
freedom," Student Body President Joe
Stallings told the Freshman Council
Wednesday night.
Calling the more than 60 members of
the council to action at their first
meeting, Stallings said, "The Freshman
Council was formed to explain the
opportunities available at the University
so that if you want to get involved, we
can show you how."
The Freshman Council will operate for
six weeks as a group, hearing speakers and
receiving information on the Student
Union, academics and Student
Government.
The members will decide at the end of
the six weeks whether the council will
continue in the same format, tackle one
problem as a group or branch off into
individual work on particular interests.
"This is not a structured group at all,"
said Stephanie Bolick, member of the
Sophomore Council. "It's up to them to
make it what they want it to be."
Stallings explained the power structure
of the University with a diagram of the
flow of power, showing the freshmen
"where we fit in as students."

Committee made the decision to begin
the investigation.
"Many of our faculty members have
expressed concern about the events that
led to Arnold's death," Okun said.
"There have been a lot of rumors.
"We felt it was better to have a fa.tua!
report and that's what we t;dd the
committee," he added.
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson issued a
statement outlining the University's
position following the announcement of
the investigation. He said the University
would have a further statement to make
about Arnold's death.
Sitterson also said he had met with
Homer Rice, director of athletics; Dr.
James A. Taylor, Student Health Service
Director; and the team physician
following Arnold's collapse on the
practice field.
"Understandably, we emphasized that
all possible steps be taken to minimize
possible reoccurrence of such illness," the
chancellor's statement said. "Secondly, I
requested all the facts bearing on Bill

"You can see from this diagram that
not a whole lot goes upward," he said,
"mostly downward.
"After seeing the bureaucracy involved
in the University's power structure, you
might ask, 'What can we as students do?'
The trend is toward more
decision-making on the part of students,"
he said.
"It's your decision whether or not to
become involved," Stallings said. "At the
end of the six weeks, you may decide not
to become involved. That decision will be
respected.
"The important point is that you will
have the proper informational base to
make the right decision for you."
The Sophomore Council, a group
composed of last year's Freshman
Council members, will serve as "resource
leaders" to the new group.
Last year's council, the first of its
kind, was created by former student body
president Tom Bello. Of its 23 members,
seven have become the Sophomore
Council.
"Membership in last year's council was
selective, which limited exposure to
information and involvement," Miss
Bolick said.

different problems and aims than the
graduate students who first organized
CAT.
"The grad students have a better basis
to go on." Miss Pay lor said. "They have a

profit from the two events amounted to
more than 53.100.
COF is sponsored by students on
campus to raise funds to enable more
qualified disadvantaged students to
attend UNC.
Another raffle is being planned lor the
homecoming game this year between
UNC and Wake Forest . October 23. The
winner of the football will be chosen the

Americans are "still cutting our teeth

said here Thursday.
"Like the free enterprise system."
Nader said, "it's susbsidized by the
government and restricted by formal
regulations.
"We live in a sort of corporate
socialism where the big companies use the
power of the government to obtain their
goals," he added.

the basis of what out-of-state students
contribute to the school."
The committee met Wednesday night
to discuss a petition which it will
circulate on campus and in the dorms
early next week.
The petition, calling for the repeal of
the tuition increase from S(50 last year
to $ 1 ,300 this year and S 1 00 next year,
states the "sudden increase is unfair" and
"will place unnecessary financial burdens
on numerous out-ot-state students."
Dan Schacter, author of the petition,
said he hoped to get support chiefly trom

legislature would pay more attention to
its voters.

Big business in America cannot go out

Corp. as an example.
"And what are companies competing
about?" Nader asked. "Banks in New
York are seeing who can advertise the
best scenes on their checks."
Nader was about half an hour late in
arriving for the speech, which was
scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.
Chris Sawyer, chairman of the
Carolina Forum, said Nader had been
detained at several other speaking
engagements in the Research Triangle
area.
Sawyer also announced at the speech
Thursday that Sen. Mike Mansfield
(D.-Mont.) has accepted an invitation to
speak here Oct. 26. Nader's speech was
the first in a series sponsored by the

Committee member Drusie Vansant
said many out-of-state undergraduates
plan to transfer next year, although they
are not in as good a position to do so as
the graduate students.
She said most people don't realize the
money from the increase will not go to
the University but to other state projects.
"People don't realize what the campus
would be like without any out-of-state
students," she added.
The committee hopes to get at least
10.000 signatures on the petition before
submitting it to the legislature at the
special session on October 26.

"William Cieer and the Student Aid

the selection of the recipients is that they
