Ehringhaus and is now operating. Title IX, a section of the 1972 federal Omnibus Education Act, prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex under education program or activity receiving federal funds. The regulations pertain to admissions, financial aid, academic programs, student activities, student affairs, housing, athletics and employment. Ehringhaus, in charge of implementing Title IX regulations at UNC, said, "The major effort of the committee will be to ensure that this institution is in compliance with the areas under Title IX." The committee, chaired by Associate Dean of Student Affairs James O. Cansler, will consider grievances in written form only after the student filing it has unsuccessfully sought aid from the administration official most directly involved. If the committee decides that a violation of Title IX has occured, it then recommends to Ehringhaus how the violation should be corrected. Ehringhaus would then advise the proper administration official to correct the infraction. If the official still makes no attempt to remedy the problem, she would then advise Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor to correct it. Until now, all student grievances not under the jurisdiction of the student court were appealed directly to the chancellor, but Ehringhaus said the committee will be more effective. Cansler said the committee is primarily advisory in nature, but added, "that does not mean that the committee doesn't have any weight. I think it definitely will have some." Faculty "and staff complaints regarding Title IX will be handled by the Faculty Grievance Committee, the non-faculty Grievance Committee and the University Staff Employee Grievance Procedure. The effect of Title IX on men's and . women's athletic programs has been a major source of confusion during the past year.

This includes funding for grants-in-aid, coaching salaries, travel allowances, locker room facilities, dining, housing, tutoring and publicity. Title IX regulations also require that there be separate but equal programs for women in contact sports such as football, basketball, rugby, ice hockey, boxing and wrestling. UNC Athletic Director Homer Rice said in August that Title IX is bad legislation, noting that strict interpretation of the act could cause the athletic department to drop some sports programs and cut back on the number of athletic scholarships issued. "I can't imagine what it is going to be like," Rice said. "All 1 know is how it works under jjj jj Town officials may reconsider laws prohibiting sale and consumption by Sue Cobb Staff Writer Chapel Hill Mayor Howard N. Lee will ask town officials to reconsider two local ordinances governing the public sale and consumption of beer, Lee said Thursday. Officials will be asked to review a zoning ordinance which prohibits commercial sales, including the sale of beer, in residential areas. Lee said this ordinance was aimeo originally at people who were drinking beer at city-sponsored athletic events. The second ordinance prohibits the consumption of beer and unfortified wine (less than 15 per cent alcohol content) on a street, sidewalk, alley, municipal parking lot or in specified town buildings. Lee said he is requesting town officials to review the ordinances because law enforcement officials are technically obligated to enforce the regulations but are generally expected not to. Regarding the public consumption ordinance, Lee said, "We need to clearly identify a basis for establishing such a law , and to determine the effects which it has." Lee also said the public consumption. Vol. 83, No. 37 George V. Taylor, chairperson of the faculty, is expected to ask the Faculty Council today to establish a special committee for studying the grading system. The committee would be responsible for studying possible revisions in the grading system and determining whether grade inflation exists on campus. It will be composed of faculty and administrators, but will canvass the views of students and faculty, Taylor said. If the proposal is approved and not amended by the council, the committee would include Taylor; Provost J. Charles Morrow; Donald C. Jicha, dean of the General' College; James R. Gaskin, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Registrar Lillian Y. Lehman; and seven faculty members to be chosen by Taylor and Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor. "I will move on behalf of the agenda committee that the (grades) committee be constituted immediately, if this is passed by the council," Chairperson Taylor said. Besides hearing ideas from students and faculty, the committee will study grading systems at other universities. One proposal, issued by the faculty Committee on Instructional Personnel, would have redefined the letter grades to help fight perceived grade inflation. Under this plan, an "A" would be rarely given and would represent "outstanding" work rather than "excellent," as it now does. Other grades would be similarly redefined, with "B" changing in meaning from "good" to "superior," "C" Smoking ban approved in heavy turnout by Nancy Mattox Staff Writer Approximately 3,600 students turned out to vote Wednesday in special student elections, one of the heaviest showings ever, Elections Board Chairperson Brooke Bynum said Thursday. " "Turnout in Morehead Confederation (undergraduate district VIII which saw write-in candidate Eric Locher collect enough votes to challenge first place winner, current Campus Governing Council representative Dan Besse to a runoff) was more than 50 per cent," Bynum said. She also attributed the large turnout to the advisory referendum to ban classroom smoking which was favored by 2801 of the 3535 students casting ballots. CGC Rep. John Sawyer, who co- the present system." Title I X also caused a temporary crisis last year for campus fraternities and sororities because it originally stipulated that the organizations must be coeducational. But after protest from nationwide sorority and fraternity members, Congress passed legislation that specifically exempted social fraternities and sororities. Business, professional and service fraternities were not exempted. Title IX regulations may also affect honorary societies at U NC. "The regulations appear to make it impermissable to have men's and women's honoraries," Ehringhaus said. Although the highest honorary society at UNC, The Order of the Golden Fleece, is coeducational, the Order of the Valkyries is all female and the Order of the Grail is all male. Cansler said he hopes that some sort of ordinance could be judged by a state court to be in conflict with a state law, statute 18A 35(a). This state law states, " Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the purchase, transportation, and possession of malt beverages or unfortified wine by individuals 1 8 years of age or older for their own use are permitted without restriction or regulation." The controversy arises over whether the word "possession" implies "consumption." Police Attorney Jean Boyles said she believes "possession" does not imply "consumption," and therefore the local ordinance conflicts with the state law. "There is a very good chance it (the local ordinance) would be upheld in the (state) supreme court," Boyles said. UNC public law professor Ben Loeb, who specializes in Alcoholic Beverage Control law, said the issue is not so clear as this. "I have doubts the town is trying to circumvent (the state law) by using the word 'consumption'." Loeb said possession in the hand, which is not prohibited by either state or local laws, could be interpreted to be the same as possession in the mouth. "We ought to assume an ordinance is valid Serving the students and the University community since 1893 Chapel Hi!!, North Carolina, Friday, October 17, 1975 f8 ff85 'IlILOS from "fair" to "good" and "D" from "fair" to "passed." History professor James R. Leutze recommended an alternate proposal which would allow plus and minus grades to be given as final grades, if an individual instructor desired. Leutze's plan would have given a grade-point value to each possible grade, as follows: "A," 4.00; "B-plus," 3.33; "B," 3.00; "B-minus," 2.67; "C-plus," 2.33; "C," 2.00; "C minus," 1.67;"D-plus," 1.33;"D" 1.00;"D-minus," 0.67, and "F," 0. The plan did not include an "A-minus" in order to preserve the uniqueness of an "A". Chairperson Taylor said he will urge that the two proposals be retabled if the grading committee is established, so that the committee would be able to consider these and other plans. The grading committee would be instructed to report its recommendations to the Faculty Council no later than March 1976. In other action scheduled to come before the council, Chacellor Taylor will present his annual report on implementation of the University's Affirmative Action plan to increase the number of women and blacks on the faculty and staff. The University is required by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to make periodic reports on the plan's implementation. Although HEW has never formally approved UNC's plan, it has told the University to implement it, Vice-Chancellor Douglass Hunt said Thursday. sponsored the proposal said he is happy with the large turnout. The referendum revealed the "overwhelming attitude of people on campus," he said. "1 think the vote was sufficient enough to convince the faculty that this is indeed what students want," he said. The next step in banning classroom smoking, Sawyer said, will be to petition the Faculty Council to approve the ban. 'Randall Thomas. Committee " to Ban" Classroom Smoking Chairperson, said proponents of the move will approach Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor to ask him to immediately make the smoking ban policy. But Thomas said that when he and Sawyer approached Taylor last year to consider adopting the plan, the Chancellor was not receptive at all." For the smoking ban to be effective it must agreement can be worked out exempting the honorary societies from Title IX. Ehringhaus defended the honorary groups, saying, "There are some kinds of sexual separation that are not invidious, just like Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts." Cricket Ussery, Association for Women Students chairperson, said that AWS has had to change its membership policy and name because of Title IX. Before conforming to Title IX, .AWS membership automatically included all undergraduate women. Now a member may be male or female and must apply for membership. AWS was formerly called the Association of Women Students. Ussery said that although she does not like Title IX, "AWS doesn't feel threatened by Title IX. I don't feel that we'll have a huge upsurge of men that will try to undermine us." until a court says it is invalid," he said. "You ought to obey it unless you're prepared to take it all the way to the (state) supreme court." But Loeb did say law officers would be on slippery ground in enforcing the consumption ordinance. Boyles said most cities have some type of regulatory ordinance. "Ours is about as liberal as any," she said. "There are very few arrests for public consumption." Loeb agreed, saying, "The local ordinance is usually interpreted by the law enforcement agency to mean 'don't do anything about beer unless the person becomes publicly drunk'." " ' State Alcoholic Beverage Control Director Warren G. Maupin said he thinks the local ordinance could be struck down if tested against state law. "We do have a conflict there apparently between a state law and a local ordinance," Maupin said. Although he refused to speculate how a court would rule on the issue, Maupin said precedent would indicate that the local ordinance would not be upheld against state law. He cited a 1973 case in which a divided court declared invalid a local ordinance which stated, "No person shall have open be enforced, by the administration and faculty, Thomas said. "If student concerns are not a priority on the chancellor's list, why is he chancellor?" he asked. Thomas said studies have shown that the non-smoker is damaged by exposure to smoking. He added that 27 states have passed some sort of legislation regulating public smoking. In other "election results, Jack Bayliss, who ran unopposed, was elected CGC representative from off-campus undergraduate District II. A runoff will be held between Tim Ward and Colin Brown Oct. 29 for off-campus undergraduate District VI. The election for CGC representative from graduate District IV, which contains the schools of medicine and education, is currently being investigated by the Elections -v W L r 4 it 4 Students participate in Beat State extravaganza sponsored Thursday by OU fraternity ITG ii fi and in his possession . . . beer ... on or in the public streets." This case, however, did not specifically treat the question of actual consumption, which the Chapel Hill ordinance prohibits. But Maupin noted that although the invalidated ordinance is similar to Chapel Hill's ordinance, a case involving Chapel Hill's ordinance would be decided by different judges and therefore might be upheld. Loeb said there are two separate sets of laws concerning alcohol. One set applies to alcoholic beverages which include hard liquor and fortified wine (wine to which brandy has been added) which have alcohol contents over 14 per cent. The second set of laws deals with malt beverages, including all beers, and unfortified wine. According to Loeb, the state laws basically dictate that alcoholic beverages are illegal except in places where they are expressly permitted. But malt beverages and unfortified wine are legal except where expressly prohibited. Loeb said he knows of no law restricting the possession of beer or unfortified wine at athletic events, and Boyles said the local Weather: cloudy . - 4 . - Staff photo by Charic Hardy Only 12 more pumpkin-shopping days till Halloween Board.

Article III of the student code was mistakenly identified on ballots as Article II, a technical mistake resulting in voiding the proposal. A ft StH photo by Chrt Hardy ordinance prohibiting public consumption of these beverages does not apply to their consumption at Kenan Stadium. But state law expressly prohibits the "display" (usually interpreted as possession) of hard liquor and fortified wine at any athletic contest, Loeb said. Mayor Lee said "It would be ludicrous for any of us to think we could ban it (hard liquor and fortified wine) in Kenan Stadium . . . Not even the state is going to try to control it at football games." Loeb also said he knows of no laws prohibiting the possession of any alcoholic beverage in dormitory rooms. Regarding the practices of fraternities and sororities of circumventing alcohol sales laws by selling the cups and giving the beer away. Loeb said, "If an arrest was made for it, I'm sure the court would interpret it as a sale (which is illegal without a permit)." In his explanation of Alcoholic Beverage Control regulations, Loeb warned that even where certain beverages are permitted, public drunkenness is still prohibited. Public drunkenness is not defined in terms of blood alcohol content, but is determined by various factors for each given situation. t .. .
