Stein said UNC has been given a planning appropriation from the Diision of Vocational Rehabilitation of North Carolina to plan a Comprehensive Rehabilitation Institute in Chapel Hill.

The lack of student participation on the committee came to light Tuesday when Chris Starin. a freshman from Falls Church, Va., went before the committee to ask for an exemption of the required freshman residencv. underway works to "It will be statewide and will serve as a teaching unit also," he added. The final plans will be submitted to the N.C. State Legislature in 1973 for implementation. Funds will then be available for UNC to start renovations to make the campus more accessible to the handicapped student. Stein said. "Special equipment will be provided for students to handle their work, such as t pewriters," he said. "They can receive physical therapy and special educational skills at the institute when it is built," Stein continued. Stein came to Chapel Hill in 1965 after finishing his work with the nationwide project for the handicapped. "We accomplished a lot by travelling over the country." he said.

Quarterback Andy Johnson brings a lot of problems to the Carolina defense. He passed on fourth-and-10 in a key play against Tech and likes to run even better.

Vince also has flanker Jimmy Shirer, All-America guard Royce Smith and dependable kicker Kim Braswell to create problems for the Heels. On defense.

Cansler, chairman of the committee, if there were any student members of the group. "Cansler said there were just three people on the committee," Starin said. Starin will receive today the decision of the committee, made up at his hearing of Schroeder, Cansler and Dean of Women Katherine K. Carmichael. His reasons for requesting the exemption, Starin said, were that he had already spent four years in dormitories, in preparatory school, and that dorm life is aid. JaandicaBBed themselves to do the work in each state. "Everything was positive about our work, and as a result, 44 states took official action to make future buildings accessible to the handicapped." North Carolina was not one of these states. In 1967, state legislature Rep. Howard Twiggs (D Wake) introduced a bill calling for renovations. "The bill failed," said Stein, "but later the state building added a handicapped section to make all buildings intended for the public accessible to the handicapped. This includes all new campus buildings. "The problem in this state is that this section lacks any enforcement conditions to make sure this happens," Stein said. "I think funds should be established for an office to control this." Stein thinks UNC could start end Mixon Robinson terrorized Tech on Turkey Day. Georgia showed vulnerability at the flanks and in the backfield against Tech. but like Carolina the Bulldogs are virtually impossible to run over. Bill Dooley will try anyway with Lewis Jolley, Geof Hamlin and maybe Ike Oglesby, if he is recovered from a crippling leg injury. Paul Miller is an equal threat running and passing at quarterback. He deserved to be in the All-ACC backf ield, and were it not for the two-way heroics of Duke's Ernie Jackson he would have been conference player of the year. Miller's favorite targets are wingback Bill Sigler and tight end Johnny Cowell. Ken Craven kicked more extra points in his career than any other booter in ACT annals. romp distracting to his concentration on academics. According to a letter from Carrier to Capps. dated May 10. 171. the chancellor had approved the appointment of two student members to the committee to bring it up to the five-man level. The student members of the committee, according to Cansler's letter, are to be the president of the junior class and a representative of the opposite sex of the Residence College Federation (RCF). Last year, Capps and Cecil Miller served on the appeals committee. The expansion of the committee membership to include students was one by-product of the Junior Housing Forum's work last year. Capps was chairman of that committee. According to Capps, Hadley Whittemore, current president of the junior class, has been to Cansler's office this semester to ask about the committee. Whittemore had been told by Cansler and his secretary he would be notified of any meetings of the committee, Capps said. According to Schroeder, there have been three meetings of the committee so far this year. Whittemore has not been notified of any of the meetings, according to Capps. RCF Chairman Steve Saunders said he had not been informed of any meetings of the committee and had been informed by Cansler there would be no meetings of the committee this fall. Saunders said he had the intention of appointing Sheila Wall, governor of King Residence College, to the RCF spot on the committee, but he simply had not been informed of the need to make the appointment. Capps said he believes student representation on this committee is especially important this year.

"The attitude of the administration is positive," he said. "They have a problem of where to get money, and it is unfair to blame them for lack of accessibility into buildings on campus. It costs a lot." Chapel Hill is now making a guide to the community for the handicapped which will include UNC buildings. "We want to allow handicapped students to be as independent as possible," Stein added, "and give them the opportunity to get around on their own. "By integrating the handicapped with other students, the able-bodied can better understand and be more realistic in their relationships with the handicapped." Defensively the Heels depend on linebackers John Bunting, Jim Webster, Terry Taylor and Ricky Packard. Webster played the game of his life against Duke and Bunting is deserving of honors he did not receive. Bill Brafford, the scholarly defensive end, and Bud Grissom, the tackle who led the Heels under the barber's clippers in mid-season, are the best linemen, and back Richard Stilley leads a backfield that has had a roller-coaster season. The last time Carolina visited the Gator Bowl, Air Force was a 35-0 victim. That was eight years ago, and Georgia is a much better team. Still, Carolina's game against Duke-an almost perfect performance-will be good enough to win. The basketball players have a tougher .holiday Exams are near, and now is the time for contemplation of the future. This coed expresses the feelings of all UNC students.

The proposed policy change, if approved require by the freshmen chancellor, who live would within commuting distance to live in University housing. "The crucial point in making this decision was that living on campus will provide freshmen with an optimal opportunity to interact with their peers." said Robert Kepner, director of Residence Life. "Freshmen pass through an assimilation into University life which the committee feels will be facilitated by this informal interaction." Kepner said present policy gives automatic permission to live at home to those students who live within commuting distance. CURL made no recommendation on uppereiassmen residency, hut Kepner said there is not "sufficient justification to require uppereiassmen to live on campus presently."

"The committee feels the wide range of exceptions made in the past weren't justified," Kepner said. He added, "To inject formal educational experiences into UfmeiMty housing is desirable, but 'he inf ormal interaction should provide a sufficient education for the freshmen." The final decision to require freshmen to live in University housing was made by CURL "approximately a week ago." Kepner will make the recommendation to the chancellor for consideration. University housing includes a'! University-owned residence hi!!-. Granville Towers, fraternity hous and sorority houses.

No rest for the weary after that, either, as the Heels go to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl tournament Dec. 29. The first round opponent is Philadelphia-tough St. Joseph's, led by 6-9 Mike Bantom and good sophomores. Then either Purdue or Bradley plays the Heels Dec. 30.
