COLLEGE PARK, MD. - In this year
when Washington writers, ACC coaches
and Mark Cartwright have found
disillusionment with Lefty Driesell and
the "UCLA of the East," 6-9 center Len
Elmore has somehow kept the faith.
He only played two games his
freshman year, losing the publicity to his
old high school nemesis, Tom McMillen.
In varsity trials, Elmore has fouled out
three times, including the big tests at
Carolina and State.
But since Driesell's bittersweet trip to

by Lynn Smith
Staff Writer
Student Body Vice President Chris
Daggett petitioned the Chapel Hill Board
of Aldermen Monday to consider Gerry
Cohen for the vacancy on the board
created by the resignation of James
Wallace.
The aldermen also passed a new "pool
hall" ordinance and discussed the traffic
problem at Kroger's and University
Square.
Daggett read a letter from Student
Body President Joe Stallings and himself
supporting Cohen. He told Mayor
Howard Lee, "We have been impressed
with your willingness to include students
in the town's decision-making process."
Cohen, a UNC graduate student in
political science, plans to enter law school
here next fall. Daggett stressed that
Cohen could represent more than the
University community.

When one's intellectual, institutional
and social structure become separated
from his emotions and personal life, a
craving develops for simple human
interaction on the most elementary level.
Such was the opinion of the
Chancellor's Advisory Committee on
Residential Colleges, which replaced the
Ad Hoc Committee on Residence
Colleges in the fall of 1966.
The concern of the committee was
how to shrink the "expanding,
dehumanizing" University and allow
students to participate in a truly
living-learning experience.

Tar Heel country, Elmore has grown into
his 230 pounds, blocking shots and
rebounding well enough to give Maryland
impressive wins over Duke, Dequesne and
Long Island.
And with Tom McMillen scoring
consistently now, Elmore is the key to
Maryland's chances tonight against
Carolina in Cole Field House Cgarne time

Maryland, 16-3 overall, has been more

and Duquesne 8571. In the latter game,
Elmore scored 27 points and got 17
rebounds against heralded sophomore

"We (Stallings and Daggett) often
come to Gerry for advice on town
matter," Daggett said. "He is the most
knowledgeable student we know in these
matters."
The aldermen accepted the petition,
but said they could not decide who to
appoint to the vacancy at that time.
Mayor Lee said he would call a special
meeting sometime within the next two
weeks to make the appointment.
The vacancy was created when Wallace
resigned last week to take a position with
the N. C. Department of Air and Water
Resources.
The aldermen also approved a
liberalized ordinance to replace the
town's old "pool hall" ordinance.
The new ordinance still prohibits the
sale or consumption of alcoholic
beverages inside a pool hall, but it has
changed the definition of "pool hall."
Now beer and pool may exist on the same

In addition, those on the committee
were interested in increasing the academic
facet of the early residence colleges. They
studied this concept for year.
As part of their study, a conference
was held at UNC in 167 on "The
Residential College Concept in American
Higher Education." More than 100
persons from 20 institutions attended.
One of the efforts of the committee,
which later became the Chancellor's
Committee on University Residence Life
(CURL), was the initiation of the Faculty
Fellows program in Scott and James
residence colleges and the conversion of
Scott into . a coeducational unit. In
addition, courses were scheduled in the
various residence colleges.
These efforts met with limited success.
The Faculty Fellows program was
virtually ineffectual and there was low
participation in the residence college
classes.

McMillen got 29 against Duke and has
boosted his average to 20.5 a game.
Elmore leads in rebounds with 10.6 per
contest while Jim 'Bozo" O'Brien has a
13.1 scoring mark, although he has never
done well against the Tar Heels.
Further down the charts, Bob Bodell
gives Maryland badly needed defense and
ball handling, and Darrell Brown has risen
from obscurity. The other guards, Jap
Trimble and Howard White, are erratic.
Tnmble averages only 8.6 a game after
showing much promise as a freshman.
White keeps on firing away, and currently
sports a 43.7 field goal percentage.

The board also voted to make the

The penalty for violation is loss of

Aldermen R.D. Smith brought up the
traffic problem at Kroger's and at
University Square.
At the junction of Franklin and Elliot
Streets, more than 18,500 cars pass every
24 hours. Only 17,200 cars pass on
Interstate 85 during the same period of
time.
"With only two driveways to get in and
out of the parking lot, the situation is
unbearable," Smith said.
Alderman Joe Nassif reminded the
board that Kroger's had requested
permission to build four driveways, but
had been refused.

"The University didn't go about it in
the right way," Office of Residence Life
Director Robert Kepner said recently.
"Academic experiences were forced upon
residence colleges under the conception
that those who live together would be

Kepner explained there was no

A federal judge Monday denied a
motion sought by North Carolina
enviornmentalists that would have
stopped construction on the S53 million
New Hope Dam project.
U.S. District Judge Eugene A. Gordon
refused to approve a temporary
injunction against the Army Corps of
Engineers, who are building the dam
across the Haw and New Hope Rivers. He
said the N.C. Conservation Council,
ECOS and other plaintiffs had failed to
prove the Corps of Engineers had violated
the National Environmental Protection
Act (NEPA).
ECOS issued a statement Tuesday
protesting the decision:
"We feel that testimony and
documents presented to the court show
that the dam should not be built unless a
massive clean-up effort by state and
federal agencies can guarantee
satisfactory water quality prior to
impoundment."
Gordon said the Environmental Impact
Statement filed by the Corps appeared to
meet criteria set out in the NEPA. The
conservationists, he said, were asking the
courts to impose stricter limitations than
the law itself.
Gordon also said he did not think the
conservation groups would be able to
prove its case sufficiently to block the
long-planned dam and reservoir from
being built.
ECOS said a decision" on whether to
appeal the decision or to try for a
permanent injunction would be made as
soon as the plaintiffs have a chance to
read and evaluate the full opinion of the
court.

usually include the maintenance of quiz
files, seminars such as are held at
Morrison dormitory and tutoring services.
"We finally realized that if we wanted
an amalgamation of living and learning,
we couldn't inject somehthing from the
outside," Kepner said. "Residents had to
be involved in the planning of the
courses. The final outgrowth of this
concept was the Project Hinton
experiment in James dormitory."
A "residential" college is one dorm or
a cluster of dorms that is a self-contained
unit of living, dining, studying and
learning.
"It's a sub-institution within the
University. Some examples are the
residential colleges at the University of

UNC pair makes
debate history'
UNC debaters Joe Loveland and Joe
McGuire have accomplished a debate
history first by winning three national
qualifying tournaments.
The pair's third win came at the
Northwestern Tournament last weekend.
UNC debate coach Robert Cox called the
tournament, which included 92 teams,
"one of the strongest in the nation."
Loveland and McGuire debated in the
pre-elimination rounds, emerging with an
8-0 record. Top-seeded in the elimination
rounds, the debaters defeated Wayne
State in the octo-finals, UCLA in the
quarterfinals and Santa Barbara in the
semifinals.

Project Hinton was an experiment in
this "total educational experience"
concept.
The students were involved in the
planning of the structure and the courses,
unlike the other residence colleges, where
the courses were simply injected into the
college.
"In the other residence colleges, we
found we were simply moving courses
around to prove a point that wasn't
provable," James Poller, assistant director
of Residence Life, said recently.
In Project Hinton, on the other hand,
there was a high level of participation and
interaction among students. The Faculty
Fellows program was highly successful, as
were the classes held in the college.
The experiment was tailored to the
students participating and to the unique
setting of James. The concept was not
borrowed from outside or imposed
artificially on the college.

was discontinued this past fall due to a
lack of funds and because of
overcrowding at the University.
As far as the further development of
the academic aspects of existing residence
colleges is concerned, Morrison Residence
College Governor Joe Grier said recently,
"Academics are not nearly as strong as
our social programs.
"We have a quiz file, occassional
speakers and seminars, but we've come to
the conclusion that people get academics
all day in class and don't want to have it
out here," Grier said.
One exception is the fourth floor of
Morrison, where there is a greater number
of honors students.
"They have a lot of faculty speakers
and an open house with invited faculty
members once every two weeks," Grier
said.
But, these are floor-sponsored - not
residence college-sponsored activities.
