Dr. James d. Condie, director of
University housing, released the details
of changes in the status of three campus
dormitories at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday,
ending, almost three weeks of
speculation over what has become a
major campus controversy.
Under the new plans for the fall
academic semester, which were
recommended by Condie and approved
by Dean of Student Affairs Donald A.
Boulton, Ruffin will become an all
women's dormitory, with handicapped
students housed on the first floor, suite-by-suite
coed living will be permitted on
the fourth floor of Morrison dormitory, .
and residents of single rooms in James
dormitory must consolidate or pay $75
in increased fees for the semester.
Boulton had assured the Daily Tar
Heel that Condie would announce the
details no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday,
although Condie was unavailable for
comment throughout the day prior to
the DTH's 11 p.m. press deadline.
Boulton had said that all
recommendations had been made and
that the only remaining problem was to
"tie up the loose ends."
All four floors of Ruffin will house
female " students Condie said, with
special facilities for female handicapped
students on the first floor. Special
bathrooms and kitchens will be built for
the handicapped residents, he said.
The male students presently living in
Ruffin will be given priority over other

Student court starts
Bates spending case
The Student Supreme Court began
receiving testimony Wednesday in a hearing
to determine whether leading presidential
candidate Bill Bates violated campaign
spending laws.
Brought by unsuccessful presidential
candidates Tim Dugan, Keith "Bozo"
Edwards and Jerry Askew, the suit seeks to
have Bates disqualified and a new election
.held. A decision by the court is expected
sometime today.
Bates was accused of receiving a gift to his
campaign in the form of a special edition' of
the Avery Advocate, the Avery dormitory
newspaper, endorsing Bates.
Under the campaign election laws, any
gratuitous donation to a campaign must be
recorded as an expense based on what its
value would have been had the candidate
paid for it.

than 10 residents en masse to another'
dorm will be difficult, Condie said.
International students will continue
to live in Carr, Mclver, and Craige
dormitories, Condie said. ,
Condie announced that the coed
living-learning arrangement had been
approved for the fourth floor of
Morrison for only one year. After the
year, the success of the program will be
evaluated.
Adjoining male-female suites will be
permitted on the floor. Students must be
approved by their residence directors
before participating in the Morrison
experiment.
Students who are now on the fourth
floor and do not wish to participate in
the decision will be given priority in
obtaining another room over anyone
else not now living in Morrison.
The fourth floor of Morrison has
been devising its plan for more than a
year. It was rejected by Condie last
spring, but he encouraged the residents
to submit the plan again this year.
Students, primarily in James, whose
roommates vacated before the February

Peace Corps and anti-war groups.
In listing reasons behind the current
global food crisis, Coffin emphasized that
"our problems are not nearly as technical as
they are moral and political." He said stress
on atomic and industrial development by
disadvantaged nations, as well as non
humanitarian priorities in the U.S. have
allowed recent natural disasters such as
floods and droughts to result in widespread
famine.
Coffin said there are three possible
reactions to the current crisis indifference,

member of his campaign staff sent 150
campaign letters through campus mail was
dismissed before the hearing began.
Dr. Claiborne S. Jones, vice chancellor for
business and finance, wrote in a letter to
George Blackburn, Dugan's counsel, that
use of campus mails in a student election
"must be construed as a permissible use of
the campus mail service."
Advocate editor Kelley Summey,
testifying during the hearing, told the court
that 2,200 copies of the special election issue
of the paper were distributed in at least six
dorms on campus, the Union and Y-court.
Normally, 160 issues are distributed only
in Avery.
While a normal issue of the Advocate
costs $27 to print, paid for by a fee collected
from all dorm residents, the election issue
cost $150. Summey said he raised $120 of
this sum through advertising and personally
paid the remaining $30. He was later
reimbursed for this sum by the dorm.
Summey said he and his two associate
editors, Mike O'Neal and Tim Smith, had
written the editorial endorsing Bates.
Bates had earlier testified he had known
O'Neal for two years, and had come to him
for advice during the campaign.

Picketing will continue

DURHAM Duke University's
Movement for Shared Authority (MSA) is
satisfied with president Terry Sanford's
initial response to their demands, but will
continue to picket his office and "take other

said Wednesday.
"What Mr. Sanford has said is very good
as a first step, but it is very minor and .short
term in nature. But things have to go
further,"; Turner said.
and Colombia. After the film was finished,
and still today, I feel that the developing
countries are going to have to solve their
problems themselves."
Clinton said America is partly responsible
for underdevelopment in foreign countries.
"And what makes me ashamed to be an
American is that $9.5 billion in military aid
was spent to support regimes that perpetrate
this situation and keep down revolutionary
forces that might offer viable change."
Schneider, however, said, "This is all over
my head. However, I do know one thing
panic or being "decent and sensible."
"We are really facing crisis values," Coffin
said. "Is food a right or a charitable option?"
Coffin noted that by contrast China, one
of the world's poorest and most populous
nations, has no famine "because their over
arching sentiments are moral and ours are
mercenary."
The solution to the problem, Coffin said,
lies in a religious view. "The brotherhood of
man is not something we're called on to
create, but to recognize," he said. "We must
share, not as an option of charity, but as an
option of justice."
In commenting on the affluence of most
Americans, Coffin said wealth has failed to
bring happiness because "spiritually, we're a
showcase of undevelopment in this country."
As practical countermeasures against
national and world hunger, Coffin endorsed
the Starvathon fast and called for a
continuation of fasting on a systematic basis
as "something every college ought to do."
Criticizing the Ford Administration for its
lack of a food administrator or national food
policy, Coffin urged his audience to "press
Congress and the President for immediate
food relief and long-term food reserves."
"If we can combine our piety with power
rather than pity," Coffin said, "I believe that
a global solution to world hunger is
possible."

Money for the Starvathon fast, which
began at 6 p.m. Wednesday, will be
collected from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. today
at the Union, Wilson Library, Chase
Cafeteria and other locations on campus
and in town. Between 4 and 7:30 p.m.,
donations will be collected in campus

MSA was organized in response to the
Duke administration's three-week old
decision to phase out the School of Forestry
and Environmental Studies because of a
large deficit in the University's budget.
MSA staged a demonstration last Friday
and has joined Forestry students in picketing
Allen Building, which houses Sanford's
offices, this week.
, MSA issued three demands to Sanford
Friday. They demanded a sharing of
authority in both the University's decision
making process and in determining
University priorities. The third demand was
our form of agriculture may be inapplicable
to the farms of the developing countries. As
our agriculture has gotten more efficient in a
productive sense, it has become less efficient
energy-wise as it drains the petroleum
reserves.
The audience, numbering around 50
people, addressed questions to the panel, one
asking skeptically, "Things aren't really this
bleak are they? 1 mean man's always solved
his problems before."
"That's the kind of thing that just drives
me up a wall," Clinton said. "Americans
have been living an unreal existence at the
expense of the well-being of the people in this
film and of the world's resources. The last
thing we should do is push our way of life on
them."
Dave Burgess, senior officer of UN1CEF,
met with Dr. Joseph C. Edozien, chairman
of the Department of Nutrition, and Robert
Patterson, professor of crop science at North
Carolina State University at a panel
discussion Wednesday.
Edozien said that shortages and
distribution problems have caused around
50 per cent of the world's children to have
nutritionally deficient diets.
"Without the proper nutrients in the
critical first two or three years of a child's
life, not only will growth be stunted, but the
child may suffer irreparable brain damage
and will be more susceptible to disease," he
said. ,
In other activities related to Starvathon,
only 13 people on the Servomation meal
plan signed up to participate in today's fast
and donate the price of their meals to the

cuts and open the budget to public scrutiny.
In a letter addressed to Jeff Talmadge,
then president of the Associated Students of
Duke University (ASDU Duke's student
government), Sanford said "these
suggestions generally correspond with my
ideas of government."
Sanford said no budget-cutting will take
place before the May meeting of the school's
Board of Trustees: Turner criticized
Sanford, however, because he refused to
open the budget books to the general public.
"Mr. Sanford my think he's got the
situation pretty well in.hand'but we are
going to make sure that illusion does not stay
with him for very long," Turner said,
announcing a schedule of future activities
decided upon Tuesday night.
"We will take some kind of action
Thursday (today) at noon," Turner said, but
refused to elaborate further.
Turner said MSA will continue to picket
today and when the Board of Trustees meets
informally Friday. He also said MSA is
trying to send representatives to talk with the
trustees informally.
Marion: insurance lobby
hindering auto rates bill
by Tim Pittman
Staff Writer
North Carolina Sen. George Marion, D
Surry, co-sponsor of Senate Bill 55, which
could end age and sex discrimination in auto
insurance rates, explained the bill's
legislative roadblocks to approximately 25
members of the UNC Young Democrats
Club Tuesday night.
Marion cited the insurance lobby as the
major roadblock facing his bill.
Marion's proposed bill, if it passes without
amendment, would establish insurance rates'
based on driving records. The bill would
directly affect males under 25 and drivers
over 65, now forced to pay higher rates based
on their age without regard to driving
records.
Marion is also sponsoring a bill to limit
the number of out-of-state students
attending state-supported schools.

shell! ire ripped into Phnom Penh's airport,
the lifeline link to the outside world.
Wednesday, hitting a U.S. airlift jet and
halting all commercial air traffic to the
besieged Cambodian capital.
In Washington, Secretary of State Henry
A. Kissinger told President Ford and a
congressional delegation today he has "little
hope" for any negotiated peace in Cambodia
at the present time. Rep. Paul N. McCloskey
Jr. said.
U.S. military spokesmen said a chartered
World Airways DC8 jet was hit by rocket
shrapnel and sustained minor damage, but
flew back to Saigon safely. The plane
carrying rice, fuel and ammunition was the
first reported hit since the U.S. airlift started
last week.
American officials in Saigon stressed that
the halt in civilian flights to Phnom Penh
would not affect the Berlin-style U.S. airlift
to the stricken capital.
' Pentagon sources said the U.S. carrier
Okinawa with helicopters and 1 ,500 Marines
aboard has been ordered into the Gulf of
Thailand as a precaution to evacuate
Americans from Phnom Penh if necessary.
Pentagon sources said some 400 to 500
Americans are still in Phnom Penh and
stressed no evacuation has been ordered yet.
Most markets and shops in Phnom Penh
were closed for the ninth consecutive day for
fear of food riots. Merchant Ha Nean said at
his central market stall he had rice for sale
but "the situation will get worse." Residents
reported, however, that rice was available
only on the black market and only to those
who could pay stiff prices.
In Washington, McCloskey, R-Cal..
emerged from a White House meeting at
which several of the eight lawmakers who
visited Cambodia last week expressed fears
of a bloodbath if the surrounded capital city
of Phnom Penh falls to Communist troops.
The delegation agreed earlier that it could
only support part of the President's
requested $222 million in immediate military
aid for Cambodia.
Kissinger "feels there is very little hope of
negotiations" with the Communists on
Cambodia now because they are dealing
from a position of strength, McCloskey said
alter the meeting.
Sen. Dewey Bartlett, R-Okla., said
Cambodia will undergo a Communist
bloodbath unless U.S. aid comes quickly.
