The committee action cleared the way for the General Assembly to act on the controversial restructuring plan at the Oct. 26 special session even though the committ;es planned to hold a formal meeting after the session. The House and Senate higher education committees, meeting jointly, made few changes in the 25-page bill adopted Thursday by a subcommittee. id , rw ft, 4 '1 ft ; I . i m 1 v f m Pry - A An unidentified student took a second look as he passed by the Association of Women Students sign in the Pit.

Carolina's chances of beating Notre Dame today will be a lot better if the Tar Heels can avoid thinking about any of these symbols of Fighting Irish football glory. Not that the Tar Heels don't have enough on their minds already. The past week of press conferences, confrontations and charges have undoubtedly distracted the minds of the players. On top of that, Carolina cannot take comfort in last week's 39-27 loss to Tulane, a sordid exhibition of musical touchdowns that tarnished the four previous Tar Heel victories. And certain things about the Notre Dame mystique cannot be ignored. Things like the Irish record - only nine losses since Parseghian became coach in 1964. Things like Notre Dame's defense - o CDoard conceTD agreeing that the proposed board should have powers over both budgets and programs. The committees aLso agreed by a 21-14 margin that boards of trustees for the individual campuses should have no powers not specifically granted by the 32-member board of governors. That decision came after the most heated debate of the day and spelled defeat for an amendment offered by Rep. J. P. Huskins (D-Iredell). Huskins had hoped to give the local boards at least eight specified powers, including authority over intercollegiate athletics, endowments and admissions. The committees agreed with Rep. Sneed High (D-Comberland), however, who said the boards of governors would Today f. f n r :v, I U i for the group to give all an opportunity to know each other and to allow the Toronto people to learn about the South. Seminars, speakers, trips and outings add to the variety. This year, all 64 members of the exchange will attend the UNC-Clemson game and the Jethro Tull concert. A square dance in the Tin Can Friday night, a talent show given by members of the UNC group Sunday and roller skating Monday are just a few of the activities scheduled. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson will speak at a luncheon at the Carolina Inn after the group arrives. Consolidated e. only 16 points allowed in four games against people like Northwestern, Michigan State, Miami and Purdue. Things like the no. 7 ranking the Irish got in the AP poll this week a flattery to most teams and unmitigated insult here. Things like Notre Dame's proclivity for running up big scores against outmanned opponents - although that hasn't been happening this year because the Irish pack has about as much aerial power as a rookie Egyptian fighter pilot. That is the silver lining on the cloud that hangs over the Tar Heels' upset chances. Notre Dame has been reduced to running the ball, and Carolina's defense has been stingy in that department. Parseghian's best quarterback, Bill Etter, suffered torn ligaments at Miami and is out for the season. Pat Steenberge, who has trouble going mobile, and Cliff Brown, still getting over his sophomore jitters, are the signal-callers. The runners are Bob Minnix, John Ciesczkowski, Bill Gallagher, Greg Hill (from Pilot Mountain, N.C.), Larry Parker, Darryl Dewan and Andy Huff. Only Hill is a real breakaway threat, and he won't start. 78 Years of Editorial Freedom Saturday, October 16, 1971 give the boards of trustees those powers "as a matter of course." The only other major point of controversy in the five and a half hour debate produced a change m the method of nomination of members of the board of governors by the legislature. The group adopted an amendment giving the nominating authority to a special committee that includes the president pro tempore of the Senate and the speaker of the House. Also on the eight-member group would be the Lieutenant Governor, the House majority leader, the minority leaders of both houses and both higher education committee chairmen. The present UNC Board of Trustees is nominated by a much larger ad-hoc University President William C. Friday will speak at a dinner Sunday. Parties and meals offered by local organizations and dorms are included in the plans. A sherry party will be given by Anne Queen, honorary chairman of the Toronto Exchange, Tuesday evening for all members of the exchange before the farewell dinner. The UNC students will travel to the University of Toronto in January. UNC members of the exchange will be selling programs and food at the next two football games to raise money for their Toronto trip. They will sponsor a vegetarian dinner homecoming weekend. uuvyu u u uu vj u u w vj y n 72 IT3r FITS t ff no y u in battle Irish At wide receiver, Tom Gatewood is still an All-American, but he gets very few chances to catch the ball because of the inability of the quarterbacks to throw it. That obvious fact probably ruins his chances of winning national honors ag3in. John Dampeer, Don Novakov and Jim Humbert lead a fierce offensive line that takes defenses like a baseball crowd takes hot dogs - with relish. On defense, Carolina is led by defensive end Eugene Brown, linebackers John Bunting and Ricky Packard and tackle Bud Grissom. And, remember, Richard Stilley intercepted two passes against Tulane. Brown has been a fantastic surprise, rushing the passer with abandon and skill. He may be a real problem for the Irish, especially Steenberge, who needs time to throw. Notre Dame's defense has everything, the front four of Walt Patulski, Greg Marx, Fred Swedsen and Mike Kadish is by all odds the best in the country. Linebackers Eric Patton, Rick Thomann, Jim Muscarez and Jim O'Malley are quick and sure tacklers. The defensive backfield of All-America nominating committee of the General Assembly. The board of governors, as recommended by the committees, would take over the operation of the public higher education system July 1, 1973. An interim group, consisting of 15 representatives of the Consolidated University of North Carolina and 1 5 representatives of the other public institutions plus two members of the Board of Higher Education and the governor, would take control next July 1. The interim group would start working on the reorganization Jan. 1, and the restructuring would go into effect six months later. High has maintained the interim group would be unworkable because representatives of both the Consolidated University and the regional institutions would be on it. The committees voted down his recommendation that the temporary board be enlarged to include the entire Consolidated University board and 60 representatives of the other institutions. The chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee had mixed emotions about the bill's fate in the legislature after the divided vote. epara oe to by Woody Doster Staff Writer A resolution calling for a referendum on the question of establishing a separate graduate student government was introduced into Student Legislature (SL) Thursday night. The resolution specifies Nov. 14 as the latest date for the referendum. The measure was referred to SL's Finance Committee for study. Articles I-XVII of the resolution are concerned with changes in the Student Constitution that would make the constitution's provisions applicable only to undergraduates. Article XVIII seeks to change provisions of the elections law that the Graduate and Professional Federation (GPSF) thinks "unfair." The article would provide joint administration of the referendum by the Student Government (SG) Elections Board and the Rules and Elections Committee of SF. Each of the two agencies would be able to establish and supervise a maximum of 20 polling places on campus at locations of their own choosing. The polling places would be open for a maximum period of 48 hours. TODAY: Partly cloudy with highs in the low 80's, lows in the low and middle 50's; a chance of showers and thundershowers Sunday. today Clarence Ellis, Ralph Stepaniak and Mike Crotty has been playing together well for three years. It may be the best all-around unit in the nation. Ike Oglesby's presence in the lineup would be quite helpful. He was missed against Tulane, for the Tar Heels couldn't control the ball on offense and then watched it sail over them for touchdowns on defense. Quarterback Paul Miller is a fine scrambler and an accurate passer to tight end John Cowell and wingback Lewis Jolley. Split end Earl Bethea is also a good receiver. But Patulski and company are quick enough to trap most quarterbacks. Since few people have been able to establish a ground game against the Irish, Miller may have to take his chances. Carolina has the tenth best rushing attack in the country, and contrary to popular belief the Irishmen can be blocked, tackled and maybe beaten. They usually block, tackle and beat you, however. Every break will be needed for the Tar Heels to pull out "mission: highly improbable." eon t J - ' i , y '" ' ' - " rr z: : - r" i : - -rfs vt-v . .- . . - -"-- . i . fj ' ' -t .mm.?

"We have no intention of questioning the integrity of the Elections Board." Becker explained that many graduate students have classes only two days a week. To illustrate, he said, for graduate students with Monday- Wednesday classes, a Tuesday referendum would make voting a hardship. "We would like to put our polling places in graduate departments," Becker said. "At present, the polling place in Craige is the only one convenient for graduate students." Student Body President Joe St3llings said the separate elections board provision is "blatantly unconstitutional." "The constitution doesn't provide for two separate groups to set up elections," he said, "only the Elections Board."

"By extending the length of time the ballot boxes are open, you multiply the possibility of voting irregularities." he said. Stalling raised the possibility that graduate students who hive no reason to be on campus the day of the referendum could vote by absentee bullet. "It is my personal opinion that those students should qualify under the hardship clause of the absentee voting requirements." he said. Stallings indicated cases of this type would have to be decided individually on the basis of hardship. "In considering this constitutional change," Stallings said, "I think the Finance Committee should investigate the ramification of establishing a second student government." He asked the committee to consider whether the proposed technical changes would alter the constitution proper or upset the student fee policy. TV I 1 Jr-CT r":Jrl n
