4 a by Bob Downes Staff Writer Student Body President Joe Stallings announced Thursday an alternative parking plan which would provide 2,500 additional campus parking spaces at a total cost of S 1.85 million. The University will present a parking plan to the Faculty Council today that provides for 1,500 spaces at a cost of S3.95 million. The Stallings plan would abandon the University idea of a high-rise LOOO-space Bell Tower parking lot garage in favor of two 1 ,000-space fringe lots to be located Vol. 80, No. 108 Voter by Charles Jeffries Staff Writer Gov.

Holshouser, Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee, a candidate for the U.S. iff NAACP Too much trouble" Cansler by Ellen Gilliam Staff Writer James O. Cansler, associate dean of student affairs, said Thursday it was his decision that waterbeds not be permitted in dorms "on grounds that they would not be worth the time and energy it would take to insure their proper usage." Cansler said he was in touch with 1 1 universities comparable in size to UNC and none permitted the use of waterbeds. The University of Rhode Island allowed waterbeds for a short time, but discontinued their use because of administrative problems, he said. "In addition to administrative problems, there were the problems of Heels by Mark Whicker Sports Editor Unless Clemson can avoid foul trouble or hit most of its field goal attempts, the North-South doubleheader this weekend in Charlotte may resemble Grant's march on Richmond. Why? Because Clemson's southern "partner," Georgia Tech, just doesn't appear ready to resist the likes of Carolina and State. Clemson meets Carolina tonight at 7 and Georgia Tech, with a 5-13 record that looks a little better than it is, plays State at 9. On Saturday night, Slate plays C Clemson at 7 and Carolina faces the .lings outers at Horace Williams Airport on N.C. 86 and on Mason Farm Road. The plan also calls for the establishment of a shuttle-bus system to provide campuswide service and take over the duties of the present South Campus bus system. Stallings and his special assistant, Lee Corum, have been working on the proposal since August. The plan also includes an administrative proposal for the construction of a 500-space garage at a cost of SI. 3 million south of the N.C. Memorial Hospital.

Culp, secretary of the By aid committee AtMetics . by Mary Ellis Gibson Staff Writer A subcommittee report calling for a Faculty Council investigation of the relationship of the athletic department to the University community - was adopted by the University Committee on Scholarships, Awards and Student Aid at their Wednesday night meeting. After 45 minutes of deliberations, the committee voted to exclude a Daily Tar Heel reporter from a discussion with UNC head football coach Bill Dooley. Committee members questioned Dooley in executive session for more than an hour. The purpose of Dooley's appearance was to "open channels of communication between the Athletic Department and the committee," Chairman Don Higginbotham said. After Dooley spoke, the meeting was opened for discussion of the subcommittee report on Student Store's profits, which are distributed to the vetoed waterbeds who was going to store the beds, how to get them out in time for other domitory functions, how to insure their proper usage and how to deal with pranksters who punctured or drained the beds for a joke," Cansler said. Steve Saunders, Residence College Federation chairman, and Robert Kepner, director of the office of residence life, devised the proposal which would allow the use of waterbeds in South Campus dormitories. The plan was rejected early this week. Saunders labeled the waterbed decision "an efficiency-oriented move, unconcerned with the students' wants." He said waterbeds would have added a touch of personality to the to meet Yellow Jackets, whom they beat in last year's NIT finals, at 9.

Stagings said in making the announcement. "It offers a long-terra as opposed to a short-term solution to the parking problem." Construction of the hospital garage would be financed over a 35-year period. The fringe lots would be financed over a 10-year period, said Coram, adding that the University then could refinance a possible additional 2,000 spaces over a second 10-year period. The plan would allow greater flexibility in providing additional spaces to meet the current 4.000-space deficit, Corum said. O coiiireireiKce Mecklenberg County Board of Elections.

The controversy over the allocation of 545,000 of Student Store's profits to the Athletic Department has arisen primarily because awards to athletes are not made on the basis of need, the report said. Athletic Director Homer Rice says, "many men who get money need it, but this contrasts to the very systematic effort of Mr. (William) Geer in the Student Aid Office to distribute funds according to need," said law school professor Laurens Walker, chairman of the subcommittee. Subcommittee members tried to act as negotiators between former chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson and Rice to find a formula for distributing athletic awards according to need, Walker said. The subcommittee's efforts to change the allocation failed, he added. Sitterson was fully satisfied with his own judgment, and Athletic Director Rice saw no practical way to vary the current practice, the report concluded. Subcommittee members also discussed institutionalized appearance of dorm rooms. Asked to respond to Saunders's remarks, Cansler said he sympathizes with individual needs, "but they must be balanced against the institutional needs of maintenance and administration." "We must also consider that, waterbeds may be a passing fad," Cansler said. "In the long run, their use may have demanded more time of residence hall administrators than these people would want to spend." Saunders said he would continue to talk to people in decision-making positions about the waterbed issue, attempting to convey the feelings of those students who want waterbeds. Clemson The Tigers need to win at least one of the games to stay comfortably ahead of Wake Forest in the ACC last-place race. Carolina Coach Dean Smith has managed to find something to worry about when thinking of Georgia Tech. "They like to build themselves up for one or two good games a year," he says, "and they did beat Georgia. They could be doing that for us." But the only thing that either the Wolfpack or the Tar Heels should fear about the Yellow Jackets is an epidemic of overconfidence or Ihe 24-hour slowdown.

The proposal, which Corum hopes to explain today at the Faculty Council meeting, would be pos'cb'e on a self-liquidating basis. Revenues to repay the loan as well as cover estimated annual operating costs of S 546.000 would be obtained through increased parking sticker fees as well as including 72:5 metered parking spaces.

Sitterson felt funds should not be reduced until the athletic department has "a sound financial basis," Walker said. Rice also rejected the reduction and said that achieving a sound financial basis is impossible this year, Walker said. The subcommittee's findings were presented to Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor, who did not comment on the report. Walker said. Taylor does not plan any immediate action on the report because he feels the controversy over athletics is "generating more heat than light," Higgenbotham said. Taylor said he did not want to make any changes concerning the athletic department until he received a report abut the department from the athletic committee of the Faculty Council Higginbotham explained. Taylor also disclosed that Consolidated University President William C. Friday has granted permission to Greensboro Daily News reporters to do an "in-depth study of the athletic programs of the schools in North Carolina," Higginbotham said. The subcommittee report will be presented to the next meeting of the Faculty Council with the recommendation that an investigation of the athletic department's relationship to the University be conducted. The report concludes that "the allocation of the $45,000 to the Athletic Department is relatively insignificant compared to the overall question of the proper relationship of that part of the University to the whole of the community."

(Staff photo by Johnny Lindahl ) PIRG ipetition valid. 6for our Bob Beason, a coordinator of the North Carolina Public Interest Research (NC-PIRG), said Thursday the petition currently being distributed on campus "is valid for our purpose of showing the Board of Governors that a majority of the students here are in favor of NCPIRG." He said a secondary purpose of the petition is to call for a campuswide referendum. The comments came in response to a bill which Student Legislature (SL) was to consider last night. The SL bill would initiate a campus referendum on NC-PIRG's proposal to ask for a SI. 50 per semester increase in student fees. The bill was necessitated by NC-PIRG's failure to comply with the general election laws required to initiate a referendum. The results of the SL vote were unavailable by press time. NC-PIRG currently has 6,000 names on the petition. "If we had petitioned for 10 percent of the student body to call for a referendum which complies with the election laws, we would have been going against our purpose by merely calling for a vote," Beason said. "The petition that people would be signing would not show that they are in support of PIRG." - South opener and in their last road game Tech lost to Kansas 93-65. Where have you gone. Rich Yunkus?

But we made the decision to send out our petitions to stay with our purpose." The NC-PIRG petition was declared invalid when it was realized that "petitioning for student support would not be sufficient to call for a referendum," Beason said. "The norma! procedure is to get 10 percent of the student signatures to call for a referendum, put it to a vote before the student body, send it to the chancellor to read, and he in turn presents the proposal to the Board of Governors. "To avoid re-petitioning, the SL will call for a referendum by a majority vote. We are not asking Student Legislature to approve PIRG, we are only asking them to allow the student body to vote on it, so we can follow the election procedure to get our proposal to the Board of Governors," Beason explained. "Our petitions are valid. Things have never been done this way, so we don't know if we could get to the Board of Governors without a referendum. But we have demonstrated that UNC students want PIRG." Wuycik still leads the conference in field goal shooting, with 65.2, and Karl Is the king of ACC foul shooters with an 86.2 mark. Wuycik has a 62-point rating out of 70 on UNC's offensive scale, despite what appears to be unsolicited attention from the conference refs. "All I know is that I've never seen more points taken away from one player," Smith says with irritation. The Tar Heels have a trip to Maryland coming up next Wednesday night, and the Terps beat Duquesne by 14 in their last game. Smith, however, likes to keep his players minds on the matters at hand, which should be very interesting tonight, at least. V
