Students complain about the
"r -levant v" of college education in North
Carolina. Taxpayers complain about the
money spent to educate the state's youth.
Government officials respond to these
complaints by complaining themselves
about "duplication" of programs and
ii responsible "log-rolling and empire
building" by university officials.
The N.C. General Assembly will meet
Tuesday, October 26, in an attempt to
eliminate the causes of these complaints.
The special legislative session has been
caiL-d to discuss the problems of higher
education in North Carolina and devise
solutions to those problems.
Most people have found the situation
extremely confusing; even the legislators
have a tough time defining the problems
or the solutions which they are trying to
offer.
VISTA
Domestic poverty program recruiting on campus
by Karen Pusey
Staff Writer '
VISTA provides students with
opportunities to use their skills to inspire
others and to organize people to help
themselves.
The domestic poverty program will set
up recruiting booths on the first floor of
the Student Union and in the Y Court
Monday through Frid y. Recruiters will
provide general inform, tion about VISTA
and talk about their personal experiences
in the program.
VISTA recruiter k . . Iljhn said he is
trying to bring the message of what
VISTA's trying to do. "Generally, we're
hoping to break the poverty syndrome
and to do so, we must confront the
people with the power and the finances,"
he said.
"We try to change where the power
lies." Hahn added. "We have to establish
autonomous power with the people who
haven't had it. We're part of the system,
but our assignment is to change the
svstem."

The field at Notre Dame Stadium
didn't tilt when the Fighting Irish walked
out Saturday afternoon.
Carolina's Tar Heels refused to buckle,
too.
Although the score was 16 0. Notre
Dame, and could have been worse, the
Heels frustrated Notre Dame's offense
through most of the game and ran better
than most teams at the fabled Irish
defense.
"Better," in this case, means 2 yards.
"The average against us is 60," said Roger
V'aldiserri, Notre Dame sports publicist.
It was the first time Carolina failed to
score a point since 1967, when the Heels
lost 1 7-0 to Clemson.
This was not Clemson, however. Take

The state newspapers have had a field
day with the issue of higher education,
though. Headlines have featured terms
such as ''restructuring" and
"deconsolidation" since the controversy
began during the winter.
Most students have little knowledge of
what the issue is all about, or what it will
mean to their college educations. Most
taxpayers know little of the specifics or
theories; they are most interested in
cutting back on the money which they
are spending on education. And the
legislators have spent most of their time
bickering and fighting, with a wary eye
on election year 72.
What does "deconsolidation" mean?
Might it mean the end to the fine,
academic tradition of the University here
at Chapel Hill, as most UNC
administrators would have one believe?
What about "restructuring"? Might it
mean incorporating the regional
universities under the roof of the
Consolidated University as most regional
university presidents would have one
believe?
There are 16 state-supported
Hahn spent his year with VISTA in
Philadelphia, working with low income
public housing under a multi-purpose
community organization. VISTA
assignments may also be in rural areas, or
with Indians or migrant workers.
A volunteer's placement is determined
by a synthesis of the volunteer's skills and
experiences and the needs in a particular
part of the country'- The volunteer works
for a local poverty organization and with
the poor people he's trying to help.
In addition to the one-year
committment, VISTA volunteers must
complete a six-week training program in
Washington, D.C. and in the community
in which he will serve. The program
teaches the applicant about himself, the
poverty culture and a different set of
values w ithin "a new type of world."
During their year, volunteers receive a
montldy salary based on the poverty level
of their community, as well as a $50 per

After Carolina took the kickoff and
resolutely ran to its own 46, quarterback
Paul Miller tried to roll out and met Mr.
Patulski. Hello, Walt. Good-bye, football.
Jim Musuraca recovered on the 45.

individual volunteer must be a "spark

leader or decision-maker, or let his ego be
synonomous with decisions being made,"
Hahn said.
There are 4,500 volunteers currently
serving in states where the political
structure has requested them. Half of the
volunteers come from a national pool,
while the remainder are native to the
community in which they are working.
Hahn said today's volunteer must look
at the direction VISTA is taking from its
creation seven years ago. "The present
administration finds it hard to erase
VISTA, so it is trying to make the
organization harmless, to make it fit the
mold of present harmless institutions
which are purely service oriented," he
said.
"County welfare organizations are
using VISTA volunteers as social workers
now," Hahn said, "when what we really
need are independent minds in the
community."

The Consolidated University Board of
Trustees will meet today to consider
restructuring cf state-supported higher
education.
The regular quarterly meeting of the
100-man board will begin at 11 a.m. in
the General Administration Building of
the Consolidated University in Oupel
Hill.
Governor Bob Scott had the regular
meeting of the board moved from its
scheduled date of October 25 - the day
before the special session of the General
Assembly on restructuring - to today for
the trustees to discuss restructuring and
deconsolidation.
At their meeting the trustees will
probably endorse the restructuring plan
ine
pays nearly S 1.000 per year just for
tuition and fees.
But no matter what the General
Assembly does, the average taxpayer will
probably find his share of the payments
rising anyway. What will make the
average taxpayer happy is to see an end
to the political bickering, the
"duplication" of programs and the
"empire building" as Governor Bob Scott
put it.
But what about the student? Of the
total cost of taxpayer-funded higher
education in this state, nearly one-third is
funded by those who are being educated.
There are 78,000 students at the 16
institutions. And though only 19 of every
100 young people in North Carolina go
on to an institution of higher learning,
the vast sums of money being spent show
that these young people are considered of
some importance to the future of the
state.
The United States system of
democracy is based on the education of
the people. The Northwest Ordinance of
1787 says "Knowledge being necessary to
good government and the happiness of
mankind, schools and the means of
education shall forever be encouraged."
The N.C. General Assembly will
wTestle with the problem in eight days.
Most of the supposed wheeling and
dealing and political backslapping has
supposedly been done. A great deal of
what will be decided in public has already
been decided behind closed doors,
although there is still much to discuss.
The special session shouldn't last long.
Perhaps in two weeks, words like
"restructuring" and "deconsolidation"
will be more clearly defined. Perhaps
"higher education" will take on a new
definition also.

Despite a 32-yard pass to Gatewood,
the Irish offense could not overcome
itself and the Carolina defense during the
rest of the quarter. Brown, Chapman and
Bunting were everywhere, 3nd
sophomores Pete Talty and Terry Taylor
(the latter subbing for injured John
Anderson) also played well.
Carolina's offense finally threatened in
the third period, only to bow to
tradition, pride and defensive tackle Mike

It started when Bill Brafford recovered
a John Cieszkowski fumble at the Notre

Notre Dame's defense hadn't given up
a touchdown since the second game of
the year, but Hite bulled to the two. At
this point, Coach Bill Dooley needed Ike
Oglesby, who for the second straight
week was out with leg cramps.
Hite was stopped without guin and
Miller lost two, so Ken Craven lined up
for a field goal try from the 15. It was
still 9-0; a score might have meant
something.
But somehow the Irish wouldn't let it
happen. Kadish blocked the kick, the 1 1
defenders jumped around in ecstasy, and
the Heels never threatened 2gain.
Still, there was another matter of a
touchdown. UNC hadn't allowed one
either. Brown took care of that with a

period.

zone for 3 16 0 lead.
The Carolina defense kept plugging
away; considering the Irish ran 84 plays
to UNC's 54, it hung on well. Chapman
victimized an end-around for a 10-yard
loss. Third-strong quarterback Jim Bolger
was hit hard in his attempts to add
another score.
When it was over, both sides were
impressed.
Carolina had seen one of the best
football teams in the country, and two

And Notre Dame had seen a

problems and injuries to frustrate the
Irish offense.
When it comes to defense, however,
it's no Dice at Notre Dame.
