Smith presents letter to committee from Monroe
Comptroller bill could be unconstitutional
by Chris Fuller
Staff Writer
Former Campus Governing Council clerk
Barry Smith presented to a CGC committee '
Thursday a letter from Student Attorney
General Andromeda Monroe indicating that
a proposed bill to establish a student body
comptroller may be unconstitutional.
Smith charged during a CGC Rules and
Judiciary Committee hearing that the bill is
unconstitutional.
Because the bill would allow the
comptroller to sign requisitions, Smith said
it violates the Student Government
Constitution which states that only the
student body treasurer has the power to
. disburse funds.
Smith backed up this interpretation by
presenting an Oct. 30 letter from Monroe to
Student Body President Bill Bates which
read in part, ". . . (The) sole power of the
authority to pay - out or expend monies
appropriated by the CGC resides with the
Treasurer . . .," Monroe's letter read.
"No other person, therefore, may aid the
treasurer in the actual disbursement of
funds, unless the Treasurer is accountable,
for his acts; nor may anyone other than the'
Doctor says
for male ste

Although research is now being conducted
by the UNC medical school to reverse male
sterilization, the procedures developed will
probably not become common hospital
practices, Dr. Jaroslav Hulka, reversible
sterilization faculty consultant, said
recently.
Hulka said that while there is a need for
reversible male sterilization, the need is
small. M ay be one per cent of all men who are
sterilized when they decide their family is
complete will later remarry and want more
children, he said.
Successful experiments in reversible male
sterilization have been conducted at the
medical school with guinea pigs and
monkeys, Hulka said. The experiments
involve inserting plugs into the vas, a vessel
one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, which
the sperm pass through. The plugs block the
vas, preventing passage of sperm.
Results of semen analyses showed that the
test animals were infertile when the plugs
were inserted. Semen analyses taken after
the plugs were removed showed the animals
to be fertile.
Mating between a female monkey and a
male monkey that had undergone reversible
sterilization resulted in one pregnancy.
These experiments indicate that reversible
male sterilization is possible, Hulka said. But
research now centers on finding the right
material to use in making the plug.
The ultimate goal of the experiments is to
develop a system so that the valve can be
turned off for sterilization or on to reverse!
the process, Hulka said. But the sterilization'
process could only be reversed once by this
'method, Hulka said. 1
Experiments in California which involve!
dividing the vas and then sewing it back
together instead of plugging and unplugging
it have been successful in 50 per cent of the
human cases, Hulka said.
Sterilization research at the medical
school is a cooperative effort with three
other research centers, one in Boston and
two in New York, Hulka said. The research
is funded by the National Institutes' of
Health.
However, continued funding is in doubt
because reversible sterilization is a low
.priority item in the national budget, Hulka
said.

Delrnar Williams, male candidate for
Homecoming Queen, reached an apparent
compromise with .Sports Information
Director Rick Brewer late Tuesday night
which could salvage the appearance of the
Homecoming Court at Saturday's football
game and make Williams Homecoming'
King.
Reacting to pressure from Brewer that a
Williams victory might deny the court the .
right to take the field Saturday, Williams,
agreed that if he wins he will be crowned as
Homecoming King.
The girl with the highest vote total would
be announced as Honorary Homecoming
Queen,
Treasurer . . . disburse funds, unless he be
in violation of the Student Constitution."
In a related action, the
CGC Administration Committee tabled a
bill introduced by Bates to establish the
office of assistant student body treasurer.
Bates proposed the bill as an alternative to
the comptroller bill at Wednesday's Finance
Committee meeting. The Finance
Committee refused to consider the bill and
referred it to the Administration Committee.
However, when the bill reached the
Administration Committee floor,
Chairperson Dave Rittenhouse ruled that
the bill should have gone instead to the Rules
and Judiciary Committee.
CGC Speaker Dan Besse subsequently
overruled Rittenhouse, stating that the
Administration Committee could consider
the bill and the committee voted to table it
for further discussion.
The assistant treasurer bill is similar to the
comptroller bill except that the assistant
treasurer would be appointed by the
president of the student body with CGC
approval and could be dismissed by the
president.
In addition to being an administrative aide
to the treasurer, the assistant would

There is not a great need for reversible
sterilization, he said, because only a small
percentage of sterilized men decide to have
more children, and reversible means of birth
control in women, such as the pill and
intrauterine device, are effective.
Vasectomy is also simple and effective as a
means of birth control, but is a permanent
sterilization technique.
Hulka predicted that a couple marrying in
1975 will probably choose a standard
method of birth control, such as the pill,
intrauterine device or condoms, until they
decide their family is complete, and then one
spouse will become sterilized.
Sterilization in women may be reversed if
the method developed by Hulka is used.
Hulka's method, called laparoscopy,
involves clipping the fallopian tubes with a
clamp. But no human sterilizations using
this method have ever been reversed, he said.
More women than men seek permanent
sterilization, Hulka said. During one period
of time 2,000 female sterilizations were'
performed at North Carolina Memorial
Hospital compared to only 275 male
sterilizations, he added.
"It (sterilization) hurts their (the men's)
libido," Hulka said.
"The older generation of men have always
equated sex with reproduction. If you take
away my reproductive ability, the natural
psychological reaction is that you've taken
away my sexual ability.
"Women were taught the same thing by
their mothers, but after having kids they
realized that there is a difference between sex
and reproduction."
But Hulka said men now are beginning to
accept this philosophy. "Men growing up
with the new idea that sex is different from
reproduction won't fear sterilization," he
said. "The current crop of college men will
probably choose vasectomy" as a birth
control method.
Worldwide, the real problem lies in
finding a simpler method of female
sterilization, Hulka said. Laparoscopy is too
expensive and too complicated a procedure
for the 40 per cent of the world population
without access to large hospitals.
Vasectomy is one of the best birth control
methods for use in these areas, but "these are
the men who believe sex and reproduction
are the same. The rural part of the world is
resistent to vasectomy," Hulka said.

Serving the students and the University community since 1893
Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
Williams, Brewer may compromise
The agreement is tentative, however, and
will be finalized tomorrow after approval by
Athletic Director Homer Rice. Williams said
he wants to see the agreement in writing
before he accepts.
Williams and Brewer will meet tomorrow
at 1 1 a.m. to conclude the compromise.
Earlier Thursday Williams said Brewer
asked him to resign from the court and said
that if Williams remained, the court might
not be allowed on the field at halftime.
The Homecoming ballots were counted
and a winner determined Thursday night,
but the Elections Board would not release
represent the treasurer at any meeting the
treasurer could not attend.
George Blackburn, a third-year law
student, spoke in favor of the comptroller
bill, saying, "I do not believe that CGC can
successfull acquit its fiscal duties without the
assistance of an administrative officer who is
directly responsible to CGC and is
exclusively devoted to financial
administration."
Blackburn said the comptroller would be
beneficial in that it would assist CGC by
providing it with immediate access to
Student Government financial information
upon request, assist in long-term policy
research and help enforce treasury laws and
business procedures.
He maintained that the student body
treasurer is burdened with the day-to-day
process of handling requisitions while
business procedures and treasury laws have
been left undeveloped.

"After tomorrow, I'm gonna sit back and
take it easy, except for some phone-calling

The speaker was one of the 14 candidates
for Chapel Hill alderman as he talked with
one of the Chapel Hill mayoral candidates at
a reception in Connor dormitory
Wednesday night.
Short 'y afterwards, the 16 candidates in
next Tuesday's municipal elections delivered
speeches again in the Union during a
candidates forum jointly sponsored by
Student Government, th Union Current
Affairs Committee, the Young Democrats
anf the Young Republicans clubs.
After winning a coin flip with James C.
"Jimmy" Wallace, mayoral candidate Gerry
Cohen started the proceedings by briefly
describing his appeal. "I did not receive all
the votes for alderman (when elected two
years ago), but I have not slighted any
citizens," Cohen said.
He said he believes he has the knowledge
and experience to deal with the town's major
issues, which he cited as transportation,
environment, recycling, growth and

the results. According to informed sources,
voter turnout was very high compared to
past Homecoming balloting.
Prior to the tentative compromise, Brewer
said the Athletic Department was
considering eliminating the Homecoming
ceremony due to Williams presence on the
court.
"There is a feeling among Athletic
Department officials that Delrnar Williams
has made a mockery of the Homecoming
ceremony," Brewer said. "These officials are
not going to let Mr. Williams make a
mockery of the Athletic Department."
Finance Committee chairperson.
Carl Fox, former CGC Finance
Committee chairperson, said the
comptroller bill would create another useless
position. He said the bill came up too quickly
and was reactionary.
Fox opposed the bill, he said, because he
felt it is unclear in that it does not set any
qualifications for the comptroller, such as a
business or accounting background, does
not mention payment of the comptroller and
does not clearly define the duties of either the
treasurer or comptroller.
If the comptroller bill passes CGC, the
comptroller would act as an administrative
aide to CGC and the Finance Committee.
The comptroller would have access to all
records of Student Government-funded
organizations and would report on these
organizations and the status of the
Unappropriated Balance and General
Surplus to the Finance Committee.
--The eomptroller would be-appointed-by a
majority CGC Vote and could bVdismissed
only by a majority vote of the council.
Brought up at two previous CGC meetings
and postponed both times, the comptroller
bill is scheduled to be discussed again at
Tuesday's CGC meetine.
Cohen urged that the town lobby against
unpopular state programs, such as the
Chapel Hill thoroughfare plan. He said he
and others would go to Raleigh to "convince
the state people that their plan will (1)
destroy the old neighborhoods and (2) give
in to the automobile."
Wallace, after apologizing for being an
N.C. State faculty member, picked up on the
theme of representing the town to other
governments.
When officially representing the town,
Wallace said "the mayor becomes Chapel
Hill, and the image the mayor purveys in
Raleigh, Durham, Washington and
Research Triangle is of vital importance to
us.
"It is iri this vital role of representing
Chapel Hill before the federal agencies
those agencies whose support we must
have that I can do the most good for
Chapel Hill," he added.
After both candidates mentioned the
importance of representing Chapel Hill
before others, each candidate was asked why
he thought he could do it better.
Wallace, 52, described his background of
having spent over 35 years in the town, and
said, "We are an irregular town; other people
use different adjectives. I will pass as regular,
an image of Chapel Hill before those with.

Brewer said the final decision on the
Homecoming Court's future would be made
by Athletic Director Homer Rice.
Rice said, "1 will make no comment. I've
already made the comment that this person
is only seeking publicity."
Williams said he was concerned earlier
with his rights under Title IX, the federal
statute which prohibits sex discrimination at
state supported institutions.
He also noted the possibility of filing a suit
charging that Title IX stipulations allow him
to run for Homecoming Queen and thus
chould be given all the privileges of a female
candidate.
Brewer, however, said Title IX was not
relevant to the Homecoming ceremony.
"I'm not looking at this thing from a Title
IX standpoint," Brewer said. "The Athletic
Department has no obligation to go through
with the ceremony; it is simply tradition."
Brewer said that earlier developments in
this year's Homecoming such as the decision
to allow all the candidates to be on the court
had already departed from tradition. In the
past a homecoming selection committee
limited the number to six through an
interviewing process.

A complaint filed by a Carolina Inn
employee to the University Staff Employee
Grievance Committee will be reviewed today
by the Faculty Committee of Staff Personnel
chairperson Gerald Unks said Thursday.
Clifton Baldwin, a dishwasher at the Inn,
is charging the Inn with discriminating
against him by not awarding him a merit
raise in five years. Baldwin also charged that
the Inn owes him back pay and that his
workload is too heavy.
Last month, the grievance committee
upheld Baldwin's complaint that he was
owed merit raises and stated that Inn
employees had not been treated as well as
other state employees in this regard. But the
committee rejected Baldwin's other two
complaints.
Unks said he has requested UNC Director
of Personnel Jack Gunnells to submit a copy
of the grievance committee's report to the
faculty personnel committee.
The grievance committee is a University
organ that considers employment grievances
from all University personnel. The faculty
committee monitors staff personnel matters
and offers counseling when employee
disagreements arise, Unks said.
"We do not circumvent the established
grievance procedures," Unks said, "but when
they fail to work or employees fail to use
them, then we are expected by the Faculty
Council to investigate the matter and report
sound off to students
whom we must deal as we have to."
The 25-year-old Cohen said, "It's quite
obvious I can't have the same number of
years doing anything as Mr. Wallace." He
said government should not automatically
close off the opinions and work of younger
people, and added, "My openness, candor
and willingness to work qualify me as much
as Mr. Wallace."
Throughout the evening, the 14 alderman
candidates stopped by the forum after
climbing the hill from a marathon interview
by local radio station WCHL. (Cyclist Leigh
Beadle, who vowed not to use a motor
vehicle during the campaign, said he almost
bowed to temptation.)
Each candidate gave a one-to-three-minute
speech, sometimes ignoring the
Union official signaling time in the back of
the room. Summarized, their major points
were:
William Bayliss said his experience on
the Kalamazoo City council would be
beneficial in Chapel Hill. "I've been struck
by the similarity of the problems. I have
worked with the town manager form of
government before."
Leigh Beadle "1 support fiscal
responsibility, bikeways, preservation of the
village atmosphere and definitely bikeways
. and recreation facilities."

The faculty committee meeting had been
called previously after Unks received an
anonymous phone call and an unsigned
letter complaining of personnel trouble at
the Inn.
At its meeting, the personnel committee
will also examine the grievance committee
report in light of the U niversity's Affirmative
Action plan, which was submitted to the
U.S. Department of Health, Education and
Welfare in February.
Unks said his committee is interested in
whether the non-faculty employees are
accorded equal treatment by all University
components.
If his committee finds that the statements
in the Affirmative Action plan regarding
non-faculty staff do not extend to Inn
employees, Unks said, the committee will
"raise the question as to why those
statements, which purportedly represent
University-wide policy, do not apply to
employees of the Carolina Inn."
The faculty committee does not have
executive power but makes
recommendations to the Faculty Council. If
these recommendations are accepted by the
council, they are forwarded to the University
administration.
Baldwin filed his grievance with the Inn
management earlier this year after having
been left off the list of workers to receive
merit increment raises. Baldwin, who has
worked at the Inn since April 1970, has never
received a merit increase.
Charles G. "Chuck" Beemer urged that a
student be named as a permanent non-voting
member of the Board of Aldermen. "Ferebee
Taylor, ex-Chancellor Joseph C. Sitterson
and William Friday can call the mayor or
town manager and get an instantaneous
response. Students are an integral part of the
town, however."
Mac Campbell invited townspeople to
become involved in the town government.
"As citizens of Chapel Hill, we hold in our
hands its very future. Let us set out to free
ourselves from complacency and lethargy in
town government."
Robert Epting pledged openness and
accessibility if elected. "I'm used to hearing
student complaints, and 1 certainly want to
hear student views if elected to the Board of
Aldermen."
Douglas Holmes called himself the only
degree-pursuing student running for the
board this year and urged that the town
reject any federal aid. "I'd like to see Chapel
Hill be a little less selfish and consider the
national interests as well, because after all,
we're all federal taxpayers."
