Desegregation UNC s by William March Staff Writer Work has begun on updating a desegregation plan for the University system, according to President William Friday. Friday's office received a copy of the recent decision by U.S. District Court Judge John G. Pratt early last week, Friday said. The decision states that the Department ofHealth,. Education and ;Welfare (HEW) has been lax in enforcing "Title VI, of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Pitch soliciting community opinions by David Ennis r , . Staff Writer r- Is Chapel Hill changing too fast? Should future changes be closely managed? What kind of place do you think Chapel Hill should become? Thursday night in the Municipal building Chapel Hill citizens voiced opinions on matters of future city planning in the first community meeting of PITCH, an organization set up to solicit community opinion. Arthur Hurow, PITCH staff member, presented statistics of Chapel Hill's growth since 1 960. "The projected population of Chapel Hill for 1980 is 33,000," said Hurow. Hurow went on to cite figures on the median house prices, rent, figures on Chapel Hill's job market, traffic problems and land use.

Duffey chaired the committee. "Duffey told me that the survey was the primary basis of the committee's decision on the matter," Epps said. Duffey, when asked how the survey figured in the committee's decision, said, "The faculty reacted to these figures, and considered them." When asked if the committee considered any other expression of student opinion, he said "You ought to ask Mark Applebaum about that. He administered the survey." According to the survey results, the questionnaire was mailed to 500 students, 108 of whom responded. Over 75 per cent of the respondents had never taken a order to which says that no federal aid is to go to segregated public school systems. UNC was one of the systems named in the opinion as having failed to comply with the law by filing a desegregation plan. "Cameron West, Richard Robinson and I will work on this plan together with the chancellors of the various campuses," Friday said. Robinson is an assistant to Friday, and West is vice president in charge of planning at UNC. "We will probably be conferring with the N.C. Attorney General's Office and with Gov. Holshouser about the plan. The take one of three directions: 1) continue the way we have, 2) encourage growth or 3) selectively limit our growth," he concluded. PITCH now meets with small organizations and individuals to present facts and discuss issues, holding another community meeting on April 12 to summarize the outcome of these discussions. "I think the Planning Board should set up a subcommittee to study the place of the poor people in Chapel Hill," said one citizen, "to insure that we don't become a lily-white, high income, university-oriented town." Several citizens voiced approval of a possible sub-community plan in which Chapel Hill would be divided into 1 1 communities. Each sub-community would have shopping and recreation facilities. This plan would reduce traffic throughout the Central Business District.

Seventy-seven per cent of the respondents said they thought pass-fail policies were not clearly defined and well publicized. Twenty-six per cent said they thought that the number of hours of pass-fail courses a student could take in one semester should be limited to four. Seventy-four per cent said that the sign-up period for pass-fail courses should be extended from two weeks to nine weeks. Part of the faculty's decisions on pass-fail extended the period to four weeks. Epps and Runge both said they hoped to gain faculty co-operation to discuss the matter. comply plan will be submitted to the Board of Governors before we send it to HEW." Friday has stated that work on the plan began in 1969, when UNC and the state government began to receive communications from HEW to the effect that the University had to file a plan for desegregation. After 1971, according to West, HEW did not communicate with individual institutions or state agencies here about desegregation of UNC. The completion of the plan was delayed by restructuring of the University system. Unofficial sources have indicated that a further reason for delay in the submission of the plan was disagreement between, the Office of Civil Rights of HEW and the federal administration concerning the need for compliance with Title VI. Expectations are that the plan will place UNC in compliance with the recent rulings, because it. conforms to what HEW was asking of individual institutions at the time work on the plan began. According to news reports, unofficial sources within HEW state that the department plans to appeal the portion of the decision which concerns secondary and elementary schools. The decision sets rigid timetables for enforcement of the Civil Rights law to begin in non-complying districts. For higher education systems, a 120-day deadline was set. This decision constitutes the relief granted to the NAACP, plaintiff in an earlier suit before Pratt which resulted in the decision that Title VI has not been enforced as it should. The recent decision sets directions for enforcement within a specified time limit. The General Administration of UNC has consistently taken the position that it attempted to comply with earlier directives of HEW. Friday and West have cited the beginning of work on the plan and evidence that percentages of blacks on predominantly white UNC campuses, as well as whites on black campuses, have increased since 1970. ..; Weather TODAY: Seventy per cent chance of rain, high in the mid to upper 608.

For Mucky? by Winston Cavin Sports Editor DURHAM - The last time Carolina beat Duke in Durham's Cameron Indoor Stadium, the place had a different name. Charlie Scott was a UNC freshman, Lyndon Johnson was President and John O'Donnell was a hefty ninth-grader. Saturday's 72-70 Tar Heel victory marked the end of a Blue Devil era, a string of Duke victories which saw the Tar Heels drop five straight in the cigarette city. For Dean Smith's Heels, the big man was O'Donnell, a 6-6, 202-pound junior from New York City.

The CGC also passed a protest resolution against the fact that no ACC tournament tickets have been made available to the students. In remarks before the CGC, Runge cautioned the legislators that this year is crucial for student government to be performing noticeable benefits for the student body. If not, said Runge, the council might well take heed of Pitt Dickey's 41 per cent of the vote and just forget about student government. Runge advised the CGC on what priorities Student Government should concern itself with this year, and said that it was his intention to establish a cooperative relationship with the CGC. The CGC completed the selection of committee members which had begun the week before with the choosing of committee chairpersons. The committees are as follows: Finance Committee: Dick Baker (chairperson), Richard Robertson, Carl Fox, Bill Putnam, Fred Stern and Ford Runge; Judicial Committee: Eliot Stephenson (chairperson), John Kaleel, Bill Singer, Kyle Terrell and Juli Tenney; Executive Appointments Committee: Ernie Patterson and Robert Hackney (co-chairpersons), Amelia Bellows, Bill Snodgrass and Hunter Dalton; and Rules Committee: Jim Becker (chairperson), Gerry Cohen, Tuck Atkinson, Gary McLean and Ross Miller. ledkoled On April 12, 13 and 16, interviews for those students taking part in the lottery will take place. Students will choose from the available spaces on campus, with low numbers having top priority. Students moving into Granville Towers from supervised University housing will pay a $50 refundable security deposit when they apply. No other payment is due until Aug. 1. The last phase of the procedure will take place on April 17 and 18. This is when other students presently not living on campus can sign up for whatever space is left.

"It's very pleasing to win here " he said, "especially the way we did it, falling so far behind in the second half and keeping our poise. O'Donnell certainly had a big game for us. He came in to give us the spark just like he did in Chapel Hill." The game started out with both teams playing rather sloppily, but Carolina still surged to an early 18-8 lead. The rest of the half-was close, but Carolina maintained a 32-28 lead going into the rest period. Please turn to page six, column four
