Editor Monday, November 8. 1971 Coalition's goals not yet achievec Mem hers of the Coalition for (Jrass announced Friday that they arc pleased with the success they have encountered since their efforts to clean up the campus began almost a month ago. However, their goals have not as yet been achieved, and much work remains to be done. 'I hough some of the paths created by people taking short cuts have been reseeded and now have L'rass growing on them once again, other bare patches still exist all over the campus. And more are being formed by people who still refuse to use the walks, despite the signs that have been put up as reminders to those in too big a hurry to think about a green campus. S o m e m e m hers o f t h e administration have given their support to the coalition's efforts, yet the trash cans that were supposed to have been ordered last Nice thought As the Nixon campaign for Ib-72 begins to crank up, we have only one thing to say. We would be very happy to see Nixon standing before television cameras in December of '72 and once again say, "You fellows won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more." oil! Friday to head new boar front the Raleigh Sews and Observer A widely shared assumption during last week's legislative debate on restructuring higher education was the belief that William C. Friday would head the consolidated administrative system that was to be created. The reasons were, and are. so obvious that the assumption prompted little or no examination. Chief among the reasons is the fact that Friday is the only education official in North Carolina with experience in running a multiple campus system. He lias been president of the Consolidated University for 1 5 years. And during that time he attained a national stature that, had he pursued his career elsewhere, would make him a natural candidate for the job anyway. It is his demonstrated ability in running a multiple ahr Daily aar Sirrl 7N Years of FJi renal Freedom Harrv Bryan, Editor Mike Parnell Managing Ed. Doug Hall News Editor Lou Bonds Associate Ed.

Mgr. month are still missing. Almost a month has been wasted while a debate has been going on concerning what kind of trash cans should be bought. And though the campus has been made aware of the litter problems - through the clean-up Oct. 12 and through pictures and news features in the Daily 'Iar Heel - some persons still refuse to use the trash cans that are available (as pictures in the DTH have shown). If the goals of the coalition are to be achieved, the entire campus must become concerned over the situation it now faces with the gradual deterioration of the campus. Certainly, a beautif "ication drive is not as important as anti-war movements, campus issues and the like. But if the atmosphere of this campus is to be saved, concern is a must. And for once the University should attempt to get out of its petty bureaucratic '"crises" in a little less time - if that's possible at UNC. The trash can hassle should have been solved in an hour, not a month. The campus is looking better, and the Coalition for Grass, as well as some University employes such as Larry Trammell. in charge of campus greenery, are to be commended. But, still, much remains to be done. the man campus system and his personal knowledge of the higher education challenge in this state that account for the assumption that he is the obvious man for the job. The new governing board that is to assume responsibility for planning, budgeting and operating policies of the state's 16 senior campuses next July 1 will first be organized as a planning board on January 1. This exercise will not be a pilot project or some other kind of experiment. It will be a foundation laying effort, the beginning of a higher education structure that should long outlast the enlightened governor who brought it about or the able administrator required to plan and implement it. Governor Scott's contribution has been so fundamental that history may well mark it as the most important leadership effort undertaken during his term of office. He will continue that contribution as chairman of the governing board during its six-months phase as planning board. Bill Friday's contribution has been on a different and less well known level. But it is recognized that he publicly favored the principle of a unified, statewide higher education system before the idea had political leadership and before it became a controversy among his own trustees. That publicly stated view followed legislative action creating the autonomous regional universities. The idea of a unified structure was consistent with I r i d a v ' s administration of the multiple campus Consolidated Univeisitv . The new governing board, meeting as planning board, will make its first crucial decision in picking its chief administrator. I he assumption that I riduv will be the man is cause for cinlidence that this board mcm to build well lor the future. d h I.anj Srsn:a Dr. Taker Crnt '!::;: ?' k .V Due t- an increase J nwr.hir t ques:v -ns and Utters dealing with : i r.i rt a! diwase the put few u et ks. t- -day . !:rnn j der"ttd entirely to a Jiuir-: ! i; I'd).

Red'"! dramatic increases have stimulated culls for national emergency ad: -n. 'I here is a nationwide epidemic of gonorrhea and the American Social Health Association says it has porbably reached pandemic proportions. The number of reported incidents of gonorrhea has been increasing 15 percent vav.h year and s philis v0 percent. According to the Center of Disease Control, more than 573.000 cases of gonorrhea were reported in 1970 Compared with 494.22" in 1969 and 431.50 in 1 06S ). The reported cases constitute only about one-third of the actual number. The number of primary and secondary syphilis cases reported to the Public Health Service was 20,186 in 1970 (compared to 18.679 in 1969). Estimated actual incidence of infectious syphilis was 70.000 to 80,000, which is a conservative estimate. Venereal disease is spreading most Evans Witt Tricking Once again we have reached that marvelous time in each semester reserved for the semi-annual orgy of confrontation between the students and the sly computer which inhabits the basement of Hanes Hall - preregistration. For those freshmen and transfers who have never been initiated into the rites of this peculiar ritual from which the University draws continued life, here is a look into some of the finer points. The main idea for the student in this rite is to arrange a schedule which fits his sleeping habits, to take courses which will not overly strain his social life with academic intrusions and lastly, to slog through those "required" courses for the General College and one's major. After all, no student wants to take any courses which will prevent him from getting his necessary sleep. It's just basically unfair for the University to expect the student to get up for an eight o'clock or nine o'clock class when he did not get to bed the night before until 2 or 3 or 4 a.m. The University just couldn't want to deprive students of their required rest. But the University does. And then, again in this semi-annual rite, the student must be careful to sign up for courses that don't demand so much work as to limit his or her social activities. These courses at the University which have two term papers, two other "small" papers, three quizes, a midterm, a final and required class attendance just cut into the social and extra-curricular life of the student too much. A student has to Gerry Cohen Nixon Nixon's latest coup, the two Chinas caper, shows how easily a lot of people can be led. Cleverly transferring the issue from one of "who should represent China" to one of "why is the U.N. expelling Chiang." Nixon managed to obfuscate most of the basic legal and moral questions implicit in our changing China policy. The U.N. charter provides strict procedures for both the admission and expulsion of member states, so that no state may be treated unfairly. Admission is done by majority vote of the General Assembly after recommendation of the security council, while expulsion requires an extraordinary majority within the General Assembly itself. As Nixon put it. we were expelling the lawtully constituted regime of the Nationalists. while admitting the hat batons Red Chinese. I he issue, ot course, was which China to recognie. I he U.N Charter and membership rolls recognie the existence ot China, .md there are obviously two v or. testing "governments' for the seat of 'hma. one representing s00 million people, and (s percent victorious in a Wat. the other a military dictatorship barely representing a small island.

Half the number of w omen and one-third the number of men never develop an ulcer at all. They nu r.ev er have symptoms, or two or three rr. nth later secondary symptoms may devel p. Symptoms of the secondary -tage include fine skin-rash, the development of large, rubbery, painless lymph node, inflamed patches on mucuous membrane of the mouth or sexual organs or small flat w arts around the vagina or anus. If untreated the disease may become latent for a number of years. One to 20 years later the disease may enter into the tertiary stage, which may involve permanent damage to the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system and may lead to mental defectiveness, loss of sensory and motor function and leutic heart disease. a computer find out which courses these are and avoid them in any way that's possible. And lastly, the student has to take those courses which are labeled "required" in the good ol' college catalogue. This is what your advisor is for - to make certain that each semester you take a certain number of these courses which the administration says you must take. Sometimes one is not quite sure why the course is required, except that otherwise no one would sign up for the boring course with the horrible professor at 8 a.m. Tuesday Thursday or at 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday-Friday - that's TTh or MWF in the vernacular of the class schedule. Now that you have those three objectives firmly in mind, the first thing to do is to go to Hanes Hall, the home of the horrible scheduling computer and get a class schedule book. This is absolutely essential. It lists all the courses for the next semester with what times they will be taught and by whom. From this little gem of knowledge, which looks like the Sunday supplement of a poor newspaper, one can try to pick courses that meet at reasonable hours, so as not to interfere with sleep. One also should get a copy of the catalogue to make sure that Physical Education course is not something like "Applied Physiology of Kinesiology." And then you have to confront your advisor. Take pity on the man, have your schedule all worked out before you go to visit him. Your advisor has a couple of correct representative of China at the United Nations, a decision, political as it may be. fit for the General Assembly in its wisdom to make. The procedure for deciding representation in such a way is completely in line with the U.N. charter, just as the U.N. gives defacto recognition of a change in government everytime a coup sends a new Latin-American delegation to replace a former. The China decision is analogous to one where two Peruvian factions might petition the United Nations as to which to recognize. This year, the United States knew Taiwan would be defeated, and introduced 3 resolution, completely unconstitutional in its purpose and effect, to accept one new member while retaining the old under the same designation. Most other nations saw through this trick of try ing to have a cake and eat it too on the part of the U.S. Unfortunately, the American press, for the most part, accepted the legitimacy o the U.S. resolution, indeed, many papers portrayed the Albanian resolution as the one violating the U.N. charter, an absurd notion indeed. The height of Ameruan stupidity came when the I S. insisted that Tuwan were "expelled" other nat; r.s would la.e the ame fate at the hands a temporary muionly in the ..-:.'J: sse:nh! .

You see. the computer us! hates people who are not graduating seni. -is and people who do not turn their schedules in the early mornme of November 15 to Hanes I Li!'. bach class only has a certain number of seats so only that number oj students are given that course by the computer, regardless of the numbci who register for it. The computer goes through and gives graduating seniors their choice fust, juniors next, sophomores and then lowly freshmen. But if you get your schedule to Hanes Hall early on the 15th. the computer might just gie you Health 1 d 33 or something like that, even it y u aren't a graduating senior. If you don't get your Schedule m eariy and you aren't a senior yoi may have the experience I hud once you'll get "closed out" of five courses y ou get a schedule with no courses cm it at all! There are some other tricks that ear be played on the ogre computer, but these are secrets.
