The University President's Advisory
Committee on the Chancellor will meet
here Saturday to discuss again
nominations for the top executive post
on campus.
According to Rep. Ike Andrews
(D-Chatham), UNC trustee and chairman
of the committee, the group will meet at
2 p.m., probably in the General
Administration Building on Raleigh Road
near campus.
Andrews emphasized that the
committee, made up of trustees, alumni,
students, faculty and administrators, is
strictly advisory to Consolidated
University President William C. Friday.
"We are strictly a committee to advise
him," Andrews said in a telephone
interview Tuesday. "We have no

Residents of Aycock Dormitory began
a massive roach killing contest at
midnight Monday.
The contest, which will last until noon
Saturday, is designed to alert the Physical
Plant to the problems of a growing
population of roaches, according to
Aycock President Jim Womble.
He said a petition requesting
fumigation of the dormitory was
presented two weeks before Thanksgiving
to the Physical Plant and to Residence
Life.
Although the dormitory was
fumigated during Thanksgiving holidays,
problems were only worsened because
only the halls and the bathrooms were
sprayed, Womble said.
Womble said the roaches naturally
flocked to students rooms.
"Since Thanksgiving, students have
found roaches in their drawers, behind
posters and in every possible place,"
Womble said.
He described the roach killing contest
as a way to "get the Physical Plant on its
toes'
Womble said the first basic rule of the
contest is "to kill every roach in
Aycock."
"The second rule is to see that the
roaches are dead and partially intact and
placed in an air-tight container," he
added.
The third rule of the slogan of the
contest is "to get rid of those meager
beasts," Womble said.

decision-making power."
The committee is working with Friday
to find a replacement for current
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson, who will
leave his post at the beginning of the
second semester.
After completing its deliberations,
which began over a year ago, the
committee will submit its recom
mendations to Friday. If the recommen
dations follow the form of previous ones,
it will be a list of several prospective
candidates.
From the list Friday will make his
choice. Then in turn, Friday will present
his recommendation to the full University
Board of Trustees for their approaval.
Recommendation by Friday is considered
tatamount to appointment.
Sitterson announced in the summer of
1970 that he would retire September l,
1971, to resume teaching here as the

Womble said the winner of the contest
will receive a free case of the beer of his
choice.
He said King Nyle has agreed to judge
the contest if he is in town at noon
Saturday.
At 2 a.m. Tuesday after two hours
of the contest - one student had already
killed about 20 roaches, Womble said.
"The partial fumigation of Aycock is
number three on the list of Physical Plant
goof-ups after the Old West ceiling and
the stove hood in Connor," Womble said.
"I feel we've petitioned deaf ears," he
said.
Womble hopes every dormitory can
get rid of roaches because they constitute
a menace and an inconvenience.
"It's really sickening," he said, "when
you get dressed you have to shake
everything out before you put it on
especially your shoes.
"It would be appreciated by dorm
membtiS if the Physical Plant will give us
warning if they come so we can protect
our clothes," he added.
"We're doing this in fun, hoping v e
can rid Aycock of raoches," Womble said.
When questioned about his role as
judge. King Nyle replied that the roach
killing contest is "not a bad thing as long
as it doesn't have a domino effect on
centipedes.
"I'd like it to be made perfectly clear
that my loyalties lie with the human
race," he added.
Womble concluded that "roaches may
take over the world after all: maybe
someday the University will be educating
roaches instead of students."

In the fall of 1 970, Friday appointed
the Andrews Committee to begin the
search for a new chancellor. Through the
winter and into the spring of this year,
the committee met to consider possible
candidates.
In early May the committee presented
Friday with a list of three choices for the
post.
But the confusion and uncertainty
over the plans to restructure N.C. Higher
Education led Friday to ask Sitterson last
summer to continue in his post until the
controversy and future structure of the
University was settled.
Following the decision of the N.C.
Legislature to place all of state-supported
higher education under one governing
board, the process for appointing a new
chancellor began anew.

.Fountain: education bills faulty
by Charles Jeffries
Staff Writer
Congressman L.H. Fountain (D-N.C.)
expressed dissatisfaction Tuesday about
higher education measures passed
recently in the Senate and the House
because neither bill contains qualitative
standards for granting the institutional
support money.
The proposed bill would distribute
money to about 2,500 institutions

"It was like a great painting," said
Arthur Katz, "with God standing in front
of the easel laying His brush to the canvas
of my life and stroke by stroke bringing
me into being."
Katz, an American Jew turned
Christian, will explain his experiences at 9
p.m. Thursday in the Dey Hall Faculty
Lounge. The meeting, sponsored by
Carolina Christian Fellowship, Campus
Crusade for Christ, and FOCUS graduate
Christian Fellowship, is open to all
interested students.
Katz, author of "Ben Israel: Odyssey
of a Modern Jew" and a speaker at
numerous colleges, churches, synagogues
and civic groups, will also speak at Duke,
N.C. State and Wake Forest later this
week.
Born in Brcokly, N.Y., in 1929, Katz
dropped out of high school to serve an
apprenticeship in the jewelry industry,
served as an ordinary seaman in the U.S.
Merchant Marine and was drafted into the
Army in 1952, where he served with the
Army Corps of Engineers in Germany
until 1954. Later, as a self-proclaimed
Marxist, he participated in Communist

Servomation-Mathias is expanding
some of its services and programs on
campus, according to Robert Greer,
director of the food service operation
here.
Greer said most of the changes are the
result of requests made by students and
suggestions brought up at the Food
Service Open Forum meeting held earlier
in the semester.
A new type of meal plan will be
offered during the spring semester. The
new plan will allow a student any two

- Fountain said at the UNC Faculty Club
luncheon at the Carolina Inn. Many of
these institutions maintain low
educational standards, he said.
Fountain's speech to the club is the

He attended Santa Monica City
College, UCLA and University of
California at Berkeley, earning B.A. and
M.A. degrees in history. Katz taught
history for four years in a California high
school until he was engaged by the San
Francisco Bay Area Jewish Museum to
rescue ancient art objects and religious
artifacts from a war-threatened Jewish
community in Cairo and Alexandria,
Egypt.
On his way to Egypt, Katz hitchhiked
for 14 months, journeying from Gibralter
and North Africa through Western
Europe to the Middle East. During this
time, Katz went through his "odyssey" of
seeking reasons for his existence and the
breakdown of Western civilization.
As an intellectual, sophisticated
atheist, he was confronted with a crisis
and realized his need for a "personal
dynamic faith" while in Israel.
Katz's book describes his journey
through Europe to Israel and from Jew to
Christian, and he dedicates it "to
perplexed seekers who love truth above
convenience, especially to my Jewish
kinsmen; and to the God of Israel."

students had approached him about a
plan which would allow more flexibility.
"With this plan, a student not desiring
breakfast could have lunch and dinner."
Greer said. "But if he wanted to make
other plans for the evening meal, he could
still do so and e3t breakfast and lunch
under the program."
Cost of the new plan is S 2 3 5 . The

He said the facility will be a part of
the present Pine Room service area and
will offer several varieties of
made-to-order sandwiches.
Greer also noted the serving time for
breakfast will be extended until 9:30 a.m.
each morning. He said a number of
student' had made the request,
complaining they were not able to eat
breakfast after an 8 a.m. class.
The Student Union Snack Bar will also

allocation of the funds.
The House bill would entitle an
institution to receive funds based
partially on per capita student enrollment
and the remaining amount based on the
number of students now assisted under
certain federal programs.
The Senate bill, on the other hand,
would compute each institution's gjant
on the basis of the amount of student aid
it receives.
The discussion of Fountain's
objections to the two bills were only a
portion of a speech that began with a
history of the federal aid given to higher
education since the Morrnl Act of 1X62.
That act provided money for the
establishment and maintainence of
colleges devoted to agriculture and
mechanical arts.
"So far I have addressed myself to the
difficult but relatively conventional
problem of financing higher education,"
he said. "But there are other dimensions
to that problem which must be faced."
Fountain said questions are being
asked about "the relevance of
curriculums, student-faculty relations, the
need for the utilization of the customary
forms of instruction and physical
facilities, the high drop-out rate, the life
style of students and the very
fundamental consideration of whether we
have oversold higher education and
degrees in relation to careers."
Fountain received both his
undergraduate and law degrees from UNC
and said that this and other reasons
prompted his special concern for the
University's interests and future.
Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee has
been rumored to be considering running
against Fountain in the 1972 elections for
the Second Congressional seat, but Lee
has not formally announced.
TODAY: partially clearing with
fog during morning hours; high in
the low to mid 60s, low in the 40s;

Greer said a decision will be made later
on staying open all night during the
second week of exams.
Plans to expand Chase Cafeteria's
"specials" nights are presently being
made, he said. "We hope to offer a
country dinner night and an occasional
special like a Polynesian luau."
He said the specials were begun to help
break the routine of being restricted to
two dining rooms. Specials currently
offer fried chicken, spaghetti, and fish.
Greer urged students with ideas for the
food service to contact him. "We're
always receptive to suggestions," he said.
