Funeral services for former UNC
president Frank Porter Graham, who died
at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday in N.C. Memorial
Hospital, will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at
University Presbyterian Church.
The University will suspend all
activities from 2 to 3 p.m. Friday for a
memorial service in Memorial Hall. The
Morehead Planetarium parking lot will be
closed all morning Friday for the services.
Graham, a former U.S. senator, UN
mediator and a leading Southern liberal,
was born in Fayetteville on Oct. 14,
1886.
The son of Alexander and Katherine
Bryan Sloan Graham, he graduated from
the University after induction into Phi
Beta Kappa in 1909 and received a degree
from the UNC law school the following
year.
. Graham taught at Raleigh High School
for two years and then returned to
Chapel Hill as YMCA secretary. In 1914
he was appointed instructor in history,

The UNC chapter of the North
Carolina Public Interest Research Group
(NC-PIRG) will take its referendum
request back to Student Legislature (SL)
tonight, according to PIRG coordinator
Bob Beason.
Last week SL denied PIRG's petition
request for a referendum, saying the
petition did not comply with general
election laws.
Beason said the PIRG petition, which
now has approximately 7,200 signatures,
had a dual purpose: to sample student
support for the consumer-environmental
protection group and to call for a
referendum. SL said according to election
procedure the petition should have asked
only for a referendum.
"For our purposes, the referendum is
only incidental," Beason said Wednesday.
"The large number of signatures on the
petition (about 40 percent of the 17,000
students paying student fees) indicates
that a lot of students support PIRG in
principle."
Reorganization
by Jessica Hanchar
Staff Writer
A petition calling for a referendum on
the question of Student Government
reorganization was submitted Wednesday
to Larry Eggert, election board chairman.
The petition, which contains 2,000
student signatures, is a result of the work
of the Presidential Commission on
Student Government Reorganization.
Eggert will review the petition and, if it
is in order, will notify Student Body
President Joe Stallings that a referendum
on the proposed student constitution
amendment may be held.
Stallings may then decide to hold the
referendum on Feb. 29, the date of the
general student elections, or he may wait
to determine if Student Legislature (SL)
will act on the commission's approval.

"I don't think the residence colleges on
South Campus are declining at all,"
Morrison Governor Joe Grier said in a
recent interview.
Assistant Director of Residence Life
Jane Poller agrees. Recently she summed
up the current trend toward
decentralization in the residence colleges

He also did graduate work at the
University of Chicago, the Brooklings
Institution, the Library of Congress, the
British Museum and the London School
of Economics. Graham was awarded
honorary degrees from many of the
nation's leading universities.
After serving UNC as dean of student
affairs and professor of history, Graham
became president of the Chapel Hill
campus in 1930 despite his repeated
protests that his place was in the history
classroom, not in an administrator's
office.
During his chancellorship at the
University, Graham rose in national
prominence as an educator, becoming an
adviser to Presidents Roosevelt and
Truman.
It was also Graham who layed the
original foundations for the Consolidated

PIRG members want a referendum
called to back up the petition signatures.
They hope to present both petition and
referendum results to the Board of
Governors. The governors will then
approve or disapprove PIRG's fee
collecting method which would tax
students $ 1 .50 per semester in additional
student fees.
"We feel that Student Legislature
didn't really understand us last week,"
Beason said. "We weren't asking for their
support or non-support of PIRG. We were
only asking that they recognize the
petition signatures as calling for a
referendum."
If SL rejects PIRG's referendum
request again, a second petition will have
to be circulated, Beason said. "We would
need only about 2,000 signatures, a little
more than 10 percent of the student
population, on the second petition," he
said.

only a majority vote will be needed to

The SL Rules Committee is currently
holding hearings on the Stallings
reorganization plan as well as an
alternative proposal submitted by Dan
Lewis, candidate for student body
president.
Cam West, one of the student leaders
campaigning for the Stallings plan, said
Wednesday he was pleased with the
petition's results, but hopes SL will take
favorable action on the bill.

Mike O'Neal, vice chairman of the
Residence College Federation (RCF), also
agrees that the multi-structure residence
college probably has more trouble staying
together than the single-dorm colleges.
"The high-rise dorms have twoi
loyalties going for them that of the
dorm and of the college. They're one and
the same.
"Those colleges that are going to stay
together have to find some common
interest. You can't assume legal ties.

together," O'Neal continued. "In some
cases there's no common interest then
the dorms should admit it."

combining UNC, State College in Raleigh
and Women's College in Greensboro.
But despite his national prominence,
Graham was also known as a friend of
students, many of whom knew him as
"Dr. Frank." When he turned on the light
on his front porch on Sunday nights, it
served as a signal to students that he was
ready to sit and talk with them
informally, often for hours on end.
He resigned his position with the
University in 1949 to fill the U.S. Senate
vacancy left by J. Melville Broughton.
However, he was defeated in the
Democratic primary the following year
after he was harshly criticized for
supporting civil rights legislation.
He then returned to the United
Nations, where he served in 1947 as a
mediator during a dispute between India
and Pakistan over Kashmir. He also served
as a member of a national advisory
committee on farm labor.
He later returned to Chapel Hill, a
town he had loved since entering the
University in 1905, continuing an
informal affiliation with the campus and
working for liberal causes.
"Dr. Graham was a kind and gentle
man," Gov. Bob Scott said Wednesday.
"He was sensitive to human beings, a
person who loved people in all walks of
life. On behalf of my mother, Mrs. W.
Kerr Scott, I express a deep personal loss
to our family."

William Friday said, "Frank Graham's

of each individual citizen was paramount.
In him and his courageous leadership, the
cause of individual freedom had no
greater champion.
"In the history of our state and nation,
few men made the impact for good on
the lives of others as did Frank Porter
Graham."
Graham suffered a heart seizure Friday
and remained in critical condition in the
hospital's intensive care unit.
The Rev. Vance Barron will officiate
the funeral service, and burial will be in

Survivors include three sisters, Miss

He said if SL takes no action by
Monday, Stallings may call for a
referendum as a result of the petition.
"However, I'm hopeful we won't have
to have a referendum called outside the
legislative process," West said.
Stallings expressed approval
Wednesday with the petition drive -which
gained 400 more signatures than the
necessary 1,803 -and said he felt the
result is "an indication of the positive
reaction students have given to the
proposal."
He said he hopes SL will initiate the
referendum. "The petitions were passed
only as a safety valve in case legislature
refuses to act," he said.
The Stallings plan would eliminate

planning to do is to get the hell out of
here and celebrate," said Lefty Driesell
after his Maryland Terrapins somehow
outlasted North Carolina 79-77 in
overtime Wednesday night.
The record crowd of 15,287 in Cole
Fieldhouse said "amen" in one of the
most exciting games in ACC history, as
Tom McMillen and Howard White got
revenge on the Tar Heels.
McMillen, the brunt of much abuse
since he decided to enroll here instead of
Carolina two years ago, scored 27 points
and White finally cut off the goat horns
with two foul shots with seven seconds
remaining to win the contest.
White had shot two for 17 in last year's
loss to UNC here, and in the end of
regulation time, White missed three
one-and-one opportunities that certainly
would have sent the crowd home early.
Instead, Carolina had a golden
opportunity to win the game, and Coach
Dean Smith could almost see history
repeating itself.
In the last second Robert McAdoo
lined up at the top of the key, much like
Charlie Scott had done in 1969 to beat
Driesell's Davidson team in the Eastern
Regionals here.
This time, however, the shot missed.
White hit a jumper around a Len
Elmore pick to begin the overtime, but
Bill Chamberlain tied it with two foul
shots. Then White hit two more foul
shots when George Karl, whose shooting
brought Carolina back in the second half,
fouled out.
McAdoo 's follow shot wras balanced by
a McMillen basket and then McAdoo
pushed McMillen to set up Tom's foul
shot.
Behind 77-73 with a minute left,
Bobby Jones and McAdoo tied it up
again, but "Big Mac" fouled White going

A new solution to the campus parking
dilemma has been suggested by UNC
sophomore James Bedrick.
The proposal, known as "Heels'
Wheels," calls for a Mass Transit Bus
System (MTS) which would service
studetns and faculty who currently
commute by motor transportation.
There are nearly 4,000 people who
now own parking stickers and who
cannot find a place to park, according to
Bedrick. "Heels' Wheels" is designed to
service a minimum of 5,000 commuters.
Bedrick's plan would provide 20 new
68-passenger buses, which would be
purchased through the school bus
contract of North Carolina. Each bus
would be able to serve about 250 people
per hour by making four runs to campus.
The first-year costs of Bedrick's plan
would be S295,500. This combines the
cost of the buses (S6,100 per bus),
maintenance costs, wages for student
drivers and bus insurance.
Bedrick says income to finance his plan
would come from two sources:
All faculty and student parking
spaces on campus would cost $20 each.
Revenue from the 7,400 spaces would
equal $148,000;
All students and faculty (including
those purchasing S20 spaces) would be
assessed S10 annually for unlimited use
of the UNC bus system. With an
estimated 24,600 persons in the entire
University community, these revenues
would total $246,000.

coed aspect of Morrison is one of their
strengths. "We have a 60-40 ratio of men
to women. That's pretty high," Grier
said.
He also pointed out there is
exceptionally high attendance rates at
Morrison activities, such as movies, coffee
houses and watermelon feasts.
He was quick to add that
floor-sponsored activities are especially
well-attended. "Some floors have had
shish-kabob parties and pizza-and-beer
parties that have been real popular," said
Grier.
In addition, Grier pointed out that
loyalty toward Morrison is high. As
proof, he said 60 percent of the people
who lived there last year asked to be
placed there again this year.

Bedrick also envisions a mini-bus
system to run to smaller housing
developments and residential areas.
Students who do not live in areas
serviced will be allowed to purchase '"('"
stickers for $20. In order to insure the
success of this venture, computers will be
used to check student numbers and
addresses to prevent any duplications or
discrepancies.
Students who were not allowed to buy
stickers, but who wish to drive to
campus, will be able to park in any of the
commuting student or faculty lots for 50
cents per entrance. Spaces available for
this would be determined by the capacity
of the lot per day based on a distribution
for parking lot congestion.
Since this plan is designed for the
convenience of the commuting student,
and adequate faculty parking spaces are
available, faculty members will be
discouraged from riding the buses,
Bedrick said. However, it may be possible
for faculty members to sell their stickers
and ride the buses if they desire to do so,
and appropriate route adjustments cm be
made, he said.

Two exceptions to this lack of

are Henderson Residence College
(Winston, Connor and Alexander) and

Henderson is brand new this year.
According to RCF Chairman Steve
Saunders, that newness is precisely why it
is such a stable college.
"Henderson is creating rather than
maintaining," Saunders explained.
AJ. de Keyzer, governor of
Henderson, and Carol Wilson, treasurer of
the college, both agree the novelty of the
residence college is a factor in their favor.
