Ceiling collapses
in Old West dorm

Staff Writer
The entire ceiling of a room in Old
West dormitory caved in Friday - two
weeks after one of the room's residents
had reported to the University the ceiling
was sagging, the resident said.
Dan Biddell, a senior living in the
room, said, "An electrician was working
in the room, and when he took two little
screws out of the light fixture, the entire
ceiling started crumbling."
The electrician escaped from the
room, and no one was injured.
"1 had just walked out of the room
five minutes earlier," Biddell said. He said
his roomate, Steve Calos. had left to go
home for the weekend.

Other rumors denied by the report
were that Arnold was on a crash diet or

long length of time after collapsing; and
that there was an attempt to suppress
information.
The report also said there was nothing
unusual about the Sept. 6 practice other
than the warm temperature of 83 degrees
and high humidity of 62 per cent at the
start of practice.
Included in the report was a

The discussion of University priorities
was part of an annual report made to the
Faculty Council. The 10 items brought
up at the meeting were those which had
been made as motions between November
1969 and January 1970, but on which
little action has been taken.
One recommendation for Council
action was the formation of an ad hoc
faculty committee on the biological
sciences which would draw up plans for
the constitution of a Council for the
Biological Sciences.
The other recommendation was for an
attempt to carry out the study of the
undergraduate course load, considering
the possibilities of a three-year bachelor's
degree.
Memorial resolutions for John C.
Brauer, former de3n of the School of
Dentistry, and Raymond Magus, a
pharmacology instructor, both of whom
died this past year were approved by the
Council.
Daisy Junge, newly elected president
of the Graduate and Professional Student
Association, spoke at the close of the
meeting on improving faculty-student
relations.
Expanded student participation on
departmental committees, increased
faculty support for student causes and
new faculty-student seminars were her
proposals.

According to players and coaches
interviewed by the committee, no one
noticed or was alarmed b any of
Arnold's actions prior to his collapse.
Although no negligence was noted by
the committee, the report said there was
a problem in UNC athletic programs "not
unique to this campus, concerning the
interrelationships and areas of
responsibilities between players, coaches,
trainers and team physicians.
"There was a lack or break-down of
communications between the entities so
vitally concerned with the health and
well-being of student athletes," the
committee said.
According to the report, Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson has recently given the
director of the UNC Student Health
Service authority to control a player's
participation in practices and games
where health factors may be involved.
Athletic Director Homer Rice
commented after the report was made
public: "I thought the report was very
extensive and very fine.
"I do not feel it was slanted in any
way," Rice added, "and you certainly
have to congratulate the members of the
committee for an outstanding job."
Sitterson formed the committee Sept.
27 with 39 witnesses eventually
testifying.
Members of the committee doing the
investigating included Dr. Ed Hedgepeth,
consultant to the student infirmary
chairman; Dr. Robert Melott of the UNC
law school; Dr. Gerard Barrett of the
School of Business Administration; Dr.
Clifford Lyons of the English
Department; and Joe Stallings, student
body president.
At the time of the formation of the
investigating committee. Dr. Dan Okun.
chairman of the faculty, expressed the
reasons for the study.
"Many of our faculty members have
expressed concern about the events that
led to Arnold's death." he said. "There
have been a lot of rumors."
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson issued a
statement at the beginning of the
investigation. He said steps had been
taken to minimize the possibility of
reoccurence of such an illness.
He also said he requested all the facts
on the incident be assembled.

Nader attacks
Nixon policies
Ralph Nader Enda voiced strong
disapproval of the second phase of
President Richard Nixon's economic
policies, saying they only "perpetuate the
o d inequities."
"It is socialism for the rich, capitalism
for the poor," Nader said in a brief news
conference here Friday morning. '"There
is nothing new about the plan."
Nader had three mam objections to
the extensions of the wage-price control-,
Nixon announced Thursday night on
nationwide television.
"First, how can you successju!i
freeze wages and prices uith so many
loopholes in the freeze?" he said.
"Can you fairly freeze wages and
prices without freezing profits'" he
continued.
"Finally, will the working people
accept it if the corporations get a 20
percent tax cut and the people get only a
2.3 percent reduction?" Nader said.
Nader also questioned the lifting of
the seven percent excise tax on
automobiles as a method of creating new
jobs.
The Nixon administration claim that
the tax relief would create 125.000 to
15 0.000 jobs is 'completely
unsubstantiated."' Nader said.
"The last thing we need m thi-.
country is more cars." he said.
He mentioned the alternatives

revenues to finance a program m m.as
