Chapel Hill Town Manager Chet
Kendzior .announced . his resignation'
Tuesday morning, effective Sept 26, 1975.
"1 have enjoyed serving as town manager
iof this fine community, but professional
differences prompt me to submit my
resignation, Kendzior said, reading from
his official letter of resignation. "The time
.requested will permit me to complete town
commitments and programs now in
progress.
He presented the letter to Mayor Howard
N. Lee and the Board of Aldermen Monday
. night.
The town commitments and programs
Kendzior referred to are the 1975-76 budget,
the annexation plan and the. Capital
Improvements Program.
"Let me reiterate that the manager does
serve at the pleasure of the Board of
Aldermen, Kendzior said, "and this is the
professional thing to do.
Kendzior, who has served as town
manager since June 1, 1973, said he currently
has no plans for the future.
His resignation followed a meeting with
Lee on May 16 when the mayor informed
him that five of the six aldermen sought his
resignation. The five members of the Board
of Aldermen were Gerry Cohen, Tommy
Gardner, Shirley Marshall, R.D. Smith and
Alice Welsh. Sid Rancer was the only
alderman who supported Kendzior.
I was not for the resignation, Rancer
said Wednesday. "I'm sorry to see him go."
Rancer described Kendzior as "competent
and conscientious." "I dont think the
opportunity was given to him to prove
himself because this was such a short time,"
Rancer said.
He said Kendzior came in at a time when
Chapel Hill was growing strong with many
new programs, new staff and new
department heads.

CGC offers summer services
by Csrottn Bskewetl

A Summer Life program and a weekend
check-cashing service were established by
the Campus Governing Council (CGC) at its
first summer meeting Tuesday.
Student Body President Bill Bates
introduced the Summer Life bill, which sets
aside $3500 for films, orientation programs
and dorm social activities. For the first time,
money has also been allotted to fraternities,
sororities and off-campus students. -
"Summer is the only time Student
Government funds can be used for social
purposes, Student Body Treasurer Mike
O'Neal said. "That's why the program is
being set up.
Requests for funds for dorm or Greek
activities will be handled through dorm
presidents and fraternity-sorority
representatives, who should see O'Neal.
Off-campus students can also take
advantage of the program, by presenting
their ideas to specific department
chairpersons or professors, who will relay
requests to O'Neal. The money can be used
for parties, or coffee and doughnuts O'Neal
said, but the students need to be in some
form of organized group.
A weekend check-cashing service was also
set up, since the Student Stores will be closed
on Saturdays and Sundays this summer. The
bill, allowing students to cash checks up to
$10, was passed on a voice vote. Further
plans for the service will be presented at the
next CGC meeting, to be held June 10 at 6
p.m.
Bates also introduced a bill to appoint an
advocate . to represent student interests in
health service decisions. The advocate will
act as a liaison between students and the
health services staff.
The advocate, to be appointed by the
student body president and subject to CGC
approval, will be paid $500 this summer.
In other action, a resolution was passed,
granting tentative approval to several
student organizations' constitutions, if they
are submitted to the CGC by June 10.
Funds allocated in" the CGC budget
cannot be released to an organization until
its constitution is approved. The measure is
intended to prevent groups from radically
changing their by-laws without CGC
knowledge, while continuing to draw
Student Government funds, CGC member
Zapp Jennings said.

The Black Student Movement,
Association of International Students and
the Human Sexuality and Counseling
Service are among the groups which have
not yet turned in the necessary statements,
Jennings said.
The resolution allows these groups to
requisition their allotted funds until June 10,
when they will be frozen again, unless the
constitutions are sent in.
request for Kendzior's resignation was
handled," Rancer said. "It was not in good
taste."
The board first openly criticized Kendzior
last February when it called an executive
session concerning the manager's
involvement in a landfill violation. At that
time, the aldermen told Kendzior they would
review his performance in three months.
May 17 marked the end of the three-month
period.
Residents of the Booker Creek area
petitioned the Board of Aldermen Monday
night protesting proposed annexation of
their area. They criticized "the manner in
which the Board of Aldermen and the mayor
of Chapel Hill have so callously blundered
through the proposed requested resignation
of the town manager and what this
blundering reveals about the board's
apparent lack of ability to govern a
community such as Chapel Hill."
Reportedly signed by 70 per cent of the
residents approached, the petition suggested
Kendzior had not been given a chance for
rebuttal. It asked that the area not be
annexed unless "Chet Kendzior be given a
full chance to be town manager."
The aldermen decided the petition was
irrelevant to the annexation question and
approved the amended annexation report
including the Booker Creek area.
