the U.S. government and m contacts with
Soviet officials about the possibility of
such a trip.

Chancellor J. Carlvle Sitterson
Tuesday strongly endorsed a central
governing board for all state-supported
higher educational institutions.
Sitterson gave his endorsement during
a discussion of the restructuring
controversy at the semi-annual meeting of
the Chancellor's Consultative Forum
Tuesday afternoon in the Morehead
Building.
The Chancello: criticized local boards
of trustees for each campus provided for
by proposed restructuring plans.
Sitterson's principal objections to the
local boards include the possibility of
continued political infighting amon- the
3oard conceBt
universities over appropriations and
indistinct lines of authority in the new
system.
"The differentiation of power
between the local and governing boards
must be so clear that people know what
they are expected to do and what
evcrvone is expected to do." he said.
Sitterson also said he favored a
governing board with a membership of 30
to 50 persons. A smaller governing board
would be too susceptable to outside
pressure gourps, he said.
Sitterson's preference for this size
board is in conflict with a plan proposed
by Consolidated University President
William C. Friday and endorsed Monday
by the executive of the Board of
Trustees. Friday's plan calls for a
190-man governing board.
Complete budget authority and
academic program control must be
granted to the new governing board if it is
to function effectively. Sitterson said.
The discussion among the torum.
members students, alumni, faculty,
trustees, administration official- and
non-academic staff personnel centered
on the attitude of the state toward the
campus.
There was some debate among the
members on whether there is a hostile
attitude of state citizens toward the
University.
The forum reached a concensus on the
idea of making some efforts to improve
the image of the University in the state,
attempting to make its public relations
efforts more effective.

Former Governor Luther H. Hodges
predicted Tuesday UNC would survive
the restructuring of N.C. higher education
if the University observes "real
statesmanship" in its actions.
"Carolina should not be afraid of what
is decided," said Hodges, keynote speaker
for University Day, "if all of us, including
the trustees, in working on this problem
do the following:
"-Show statesmanship in our words
and deeds.
"-Maintain leadership of the sort that
made us (Carolina) great.
"-Make suggestions and decisions for
the benefit of the state as a whole
without fear, favor, arrogance, pride or
jealousy."
Hodges compared the restructuring
battle to other crises the University has
survived.
"Look around us and we see crises on
our right and left," said Hodges. "We
have just muddled through what might be
called the Student Rebellion.
The University is no
johnny-come-lately in coasting upon the
ecology crisis.
"We are presently in a crisis of higher
education in North Carolina," he said,
"and this is another sign of adversity I am
confident we will pull through."
Hodges said he believed higher
education is "in a mess at present."
"I believe this strongly, with our
duplication and overlapping and without
a strong centralized body to m3ke
decisions, including budgets, we will stav
in trouble." he said.
"If we are sto save our colleges and
universities from further haphazard
manipulation, real statesmanship is
needed," Hodges said, adding:
"The mighty and meaningful phrase,
'sweet are the uses of adversity, can be
counted one of the keys to the survival
and success of this great place of
learning."
Hodges was one of five UNC alumni
who received the University's first
"Distinguished Alumnus Awards,"
presented at the University Day
ceremonies.
Also honored were English Professor
Robert M. Lumiansky of the University
of Pennsylvania, President Grover Elmer
Murray of Texas Tech, Durham author
Frances Gray Patton and Law rence Sause,
director for the Department of State of
the Regional Office for Central America
and Panama.
Hodges was cited for his "long and
effective devotion to the good of the
state and nation." A former U.S.
Secretary of Commerce. Hodges is now
chariman of the Board of the Research
Triangle Foundation, which he founded
as governor.
Lumiansky was instrumental in
establishing the National Council for the
Humanities. He was commended for his
support and promotion of higher
education.
Murray, a geologist, was recognized as
a scientist and as an administrator. Prior
to becoming president of Texas Tech in
1966, Murray was vice president for
academic affairs in the Louisianna State
University system ;
Mrs. Patton. author of some 30 short
stories and the novel, Good Morning
Miss Dove." was recognized for her
distinguished literarv career.
