conflict .B sicks C by Lee Southerland Staff H'ntcr Black campus leaders agree confrontations between off-campus blacks and South Campus residents are reaching a serious level, but they degree on the causes of the tensions. Two black leaders - Harry Joneo, an assistant in the dean of men's office, and Richard Epps, the first black chairman of the Men's Honor Court said problems stem from the resentment off-campus blacks hold for black students on campus. But Ron Wesson, president of th -Black Student Movement CBSM), said the main reason for trouble on South Campus is that "the University hasn't dor.-.- its job." "Part of the problem is that policemen don't arrest troublemakers," Wesson said. "The from off-campus who tauoe- trouble nothing Ls going to be done about it. too t h "JW Vol. 80. No. 50 by Evans Witt Staff Writer RALlilGH - Deconsolidation of the Consolidated University moved one giant step closer to realization Wednesday in a series of votes in the N.C. General Assembly. The House voted 74-39 to accept the committee-approved restructuring bill, which calls for the dismantling of the present structure. TTie Senate defeated by a vote of 27- 21 a powerful attempt by supporters of the University to amend the commit fee bill to form the new !6 campus institutions around the present CU set-up. The votes indicate University forces possibly do not have the strength to defeat the committee bill. The votes are considered to be major victories in the restructuring fight for Gov. Bob Scott and his supporters. Sen. Gordon P. Allen (D-Person), president pro tempore of the Senate, headed the drive to amend the committee it in : !H jyai, m .DeC)MCD h .-w. .

(Staff photo by Cliff Kolovon) Athletics vs. academics .Footl by Mark Whicker Sports Editor A panel discussion concerning the relationship of football to academics at UNC will be held at S p.m. today in Howell Hall auditorium. The announced topic, as sponsored by the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors (A A UP) and the Carolina Union Current Affairs Committee, is "Competitive Football and Academic Excellence - Are They Compatible?" Panelists are Dr. William E. Bakewell of the pschiatry department; Dr. Carl S Incidents on South Campus in re cert months have included high school and college-age youths verbally ar.d physically assaulting dormitory residents. The---incidents reportedly occur majr.lv on weekends and particularly when parties are scheduled. Although there his r-een a knifing in Morrison and some incidents ir. Khrinehaus. the trouble has Ken concentrated in Hmton James. Charh-r '-filler, governor of James, said there are more black students residing in that dormitory than in any other dorm on campus. "James is ir, some w a s the rick activities center on campus," Miller said. "The residents of the budding have opened themselves up to black gatherings hi!e other dorms have not." Parties held m James attract blanks from outside communities. "They want to be with their friends." Miller said. Miller described th confrontations -n l(Disi1iio)ii n bill, an attempt which looked for much of the day as if it would succeed. At one point in the early afternoon Senate recess, Allen and Sen. John J. Bumey CD -New Hanover), a long time foe of restructuring, reportedly had enough senators but one committed to the amendments to insure passage. But, as the debate in the upper chamber raged for more than two and a half hours, the forces supporting the amendments lost votes until the final 27-21 tally. The amendments were not introduced on the House floor by Rep. John Stevens (D Buncombe) ss some had erpected. He had attempted to have thd House Higher Education Committee approve the amendments in its first meeting of the special session Tuesday afternoon but failed there by a 13-9 vote. Although the committee bill was approved by the House on second reading Wednesday, it must come up for a final vote today when the amendments sponsored by Stevens might be brought up. ill torac Blyth of the physical education department; Arnold Nash, a professor in the religion department; and Bill Richardson, chairman of the Committee of Concerned Athletes and a co-captain on the 1970 Carolina football team. Daniel Pollitt of the law school is moderator of the discussion. Student Body President Joe Stallings, Faculty Council Chairman Daniel A. Okun and Alumni Director Clarence Whitefield will speak about their reactions to the discussion. Athletic director Homer Rice was scheduled to appear, but he left the panel earlier this week.

A two-thirds vote of the chamber would be necessary to suspend the rules to permit the final vote on the bill to be taken today. Such a vote is unlikely, according to the number of senators. If there are any major differences between the Senate and House versions of the final bill, a joint committee might have to he farmed to reconcile the lw u versions to meet late Friday or Saturday. The full legislative day Wednesday was occupied in both houses by consideration of amendments to the committee bill. Although the Senate was almost exclusively concerned with the Stevens-Allen amendments, the House devoted its entire day considering piecemeal moves to change individual sections of the committee bill.

Toby Cozart, chairman of the Current Affairs Committee, said Wednesday the Arnold death will not be the main topic of discussion but may be mentioned. "As of now, we're trying to get someone else to speak from the athletic department." Cozart said, "but prospects are dim."

The committee bill had set up an elite committee of the legislature to nominate candidates for the posts. The amendment, introduced by Rep. Sneed High CD-Cumberland), leaves the question of the nominating procedure undefined, but guarantees the right to nominate from the floor of the chamber. A proposal by Rep. John Ingram (D-Randolph) to take all power out of the hands of the governor in appointing members of the boaid of governors was defeated by a voice vote. A similar amendment was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Uamar Cudger CD-Buncombe), but no vote was taken. The Senate will vote on the amendment today, following a determination of the constitutionality of both methods of selecting the "governors." said Sen. Russell Kirby (D-Wilson), chairman of the Senate Higher F ducat ion Committee. The House will be given a chance to vote on the removal of the governors' appointive powers again today, according to sources within the House. As the higher education issue seemed to move closer to resolution, a Hood of other matters were presented to the House and Senate in an effort to have them considered by the Legislature in this special session. Changing the primary date from Tuesday back to Saturday and the provision for absentee ballots in that primary were introduced in the Senate following the vote on the Stevens-Allen amendments. Both matters were referred to the Senate Rules Committee which will decide whether they will be considered. A move by gubernatorial hopeful Sen. Hargrove (Skipper) Bolwes (D-Guilford) to have no-fault automobile insurance considered in this session was also presented and referred to the Rules Committee. Resolutions on consideration of nursing home costs, waivers of indigents' rights to attorneys in criminal actions were also brought up and referred to the committee.

Banel Richardson called for another investigation, saying that the sub-committee did not prove there was negligence on the part of the football program in Arnold's death. The discussion was arranged through the initiative of AAUP. "with some prompting from the concerned athletes," Cozart said. Dr. Henry Landsberger, newly elected president of AAUP. said earlier this week the discussion would not be "a confrontation between two sides.
