Several months ago, officials from
Orange, Durham and Wake counties
hammered out a plan to share $318,000 in
funds from the U. S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD).
But the town of Hillsborough made an
independent application for the money and
has now walked away with the lion's share of
it.
Supporters of the three-county plan are
upset, but Hillsborough's mayor thinks
HUD made a wise decision.
HUD announced Wednesday that
Hillsborough will receive $287,988. Orange
County will receive $30,012, less than half
the sum it requested; and Durham and Wake
counties will hot receive any money at all.
Under the three-county arrangement,
Durham County applied for $50,060; Wake
News Bureau head
dies
Alfred Guy "Pete" Ivey, director of the
UNC News Bureau for 20 years, died at his
home here Wednesday. He was 62.
A native of Rocky Mount, Ivey was
recuperating from a heart attack suffered in
early October.
Funeral services for Ivey will be held at 10
a.m. Saturday at University Methodist
Church and burial will be at 3 p.m. at
Pineview Cemetery in Rocky Mount.
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor said of Ivey,
"He gave two decades of loyal and dedicated
service to this institution. He loved this
University as" he loved this state and its
press."
Although Ivey never graduated from the
University, he is considered an alumnus of
Carolina. He entered the University in 1931
to study journalism, but family financial
problems and the Great Depression forced
Ivey to earn his way through the University.
He did freelance writing for North
Carolina papers, worked in the Bulls Head
Bookshop at nights, was a stenographer in
the office of the dean of students.
As an undergraduate here, Ivey boxed on
the freshman and varsity teams, worked for
the Daily Tar Heel, edited the Carolina
Buccaneer, (a campus humor magazine),
and was a member of the Golden Fleece
honorary society.
Following his three years as a UNC
student, he became the managing editor of
the Alumni Review for two years. In June
1936 he was named director of the Graham
Memorial Student Union, serving for two
years.
Ivey later became a reporter for the
Sentinel, until 1942 when he was drafted into
the Army. Following his military career, he
became managing editor of the Shelby Daily
Star in 1954.
In 1955, he became News Bureau director
where he served until his death.
Ivey was the "world's authority" on
persimmons, Lefler said. "Mr. Ivey got
letters, telephone calls regularly on how to
prepare various persimmon recipes," Lefler
said.
Ivey chose to be a persimmon authority
over North Carolina history, journalism
history and Shakespeare because no one else
was an authority on the fruit.
"One night while drinking a glass of
persimmon beer, I was struck by a happy
inspiration of thought. Why not be an
authority on the persimmon?" he once said.
Consolidated University President
William C. Friday said, "Pete Ivey served the
University with total devotion and great skill
throughout his professional career. Those of
us privileged to be his friends have lost a
respected and much loved colleague." , '
John B. Adams, Dean of the School of
Journalism, said he could not measure the
help Ivey gave to the department. "We,.

County requested $203,000; and Orange
County would have received $60,420.
The money, part of the Community
Development Act funds for this area of the
state, is earmarked for rehabilitation of low
income housing and for providing city water
and sewer services to low-income areas.
Wake County Commissioner J.T. Knott
objected to HUD's decision. "The
governments of three counties were working
together as governments should," Knott
said. "We represented 400,000 people, and
then some little municipality of 1,500 people
comes to us and walks away with the lion's
share." -

programs such as the 50th anniversary of the

Ladd Baucom, managing editor of the
Chapel Hill Newspaper in which Ivey had a
weekly column, "Town and Gown" on the
Sunday editorial page, said, "Key's death is a
loss for the newspaper business in North
Carolina-"

Unlike UNC at Chapel Hill, the University
of California at Berkeley has had its
Affirmative Action Plan approved by the
U.S. Department of Health, Education and
Welfare.
Berkeley has determined it needs to add
95.71 women, 2.79 Orientals and 1.38 blacks
to its faculty.
Affirmative Action refers to a set of
programs designed to give minorities and
women equal employment opportunities.
Since 1971, when the U.S. Department of
Labor issued Revised Order No. 4, all firms
with more than 50 employees receiving more
than $50,000 annually in contracts or grants
from the federal government must file a
written Affirmative Action statement with
the federal government. These firms must
also plan to increase the number of
minorities and women on their staff.

thinks Hillsborough had the best plan for use
of the money. "We can serve more people
more effectively," he said.
The town plans to use the money to
improve sewer service to approximately 510
houses just outside the town, Cates said.
He added that inadequate sewer service
has turned the area into a health hazard.
If the three-county plan had been adopted,
Carrboro would have received a sizeable
sum of money. Since Orange County's
requested sum was cut in half, Carrboro's
allotment will be greatly reduced.
"I am very disturbed," Carrboro Mayor
Robert Wells said, "when one man (Cates)
can go to Washington and hold out his hand
and get all the money with no consideration
given to three counties."
Wells said that the federal government
should consider the overall situation instead
of "treating one town specially.
HUD, which has discretion on which
applicant gets the funds, could have given all
the money to one applicant or to any
combination of the four applicants, Jim
Rhodes, spokesperson for the HUD office in
Greensboro, said.
Orange County Commissioner Norman
Gustaveson said Thursday the decision to
give most of the money to only one town
destroys the sense of cooperation between
local governments.
"I would have hoped that the (three
county) program proposal would have been
adopted," Gustaveson said.
He said that although Hillsborough has
problems, the town's plans could have been
incorporated into the county's plans over the
next several years.
The Community Development Act is a
five-year program, and communities will be
able to apply for funds again next year. This
is the first year that the funds have been
distributed by HUD.
Knott said he anticipates that Wake
County will apply for funds next year.
Sharp skeptical of court offer
North Carolina Supreme Court Justice
Susie Sharp attaches no significance to
rumors mentioning her as a possible
nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court
position vacated by Justice William O.
Douglas, she said Thursday.
Sharp has been listed by the Washington
Post and New York Times as one of several
women being nominated for the position by
President Ford. An important factor in
Ford's consideration of nominating a
woman has been the urging he has received
from his wife, Betty, the Times reported.
"The point is to set goals and do your dead-level best to reach them, rather thanset quotas.
What it takes is dogged determination, patience, perseverance and conscience.
Plan is to give women and minorities an
equal chance at being hired, getting
promotions and receiving a good salary in
faculty and non-faculty staff positions.
But the major impediment to fulfilling the
plans, particularly in the faculty sector, is
finding qualified people to fill the positions.
"It is a source of frustration and concern
to us, and to women and blacks that this
discrimination wasn't eliminated sooner,"
Douglass Hunt, UNCs vice-chancellor for
administration and Affirmative Action
Officer, said recently. "We know why (it has
not been done sooner). It is the supply as
much as anything else."

The position of student body comptroller
was established by an 11-8-1 vote of the
Campus Governing Council Wednesday
night. The vote followed a month of debate
on the proposal.
Before passing the comptroller bill, the
council defeated a substitute motion made
by Student Body President Bill Bates to
establish a department of the treasury.
Although Bates had previously threatened
to veto the comptroller bill, he said Thursday
he was still undecided and would reach a
decision within the 10-school-day limit
allowed for a presidential veto by CGC law.
The comptroller bill, proposed Oct. 19 by
CGC Reps. Dick Pope and Ben Steelman,
provides for a CGC-elected comptroller to
act as an administrative aide to the council
and its Finance Committee.
The comptroller would be accountable to
the entire council since only CGC has the
power to dismiss him or her.
Critics of the bill have said it would strip
powers from the student body treasurer.
The controversial comptroller bill has
been brought to the CGC floor on three
previous occasions and has been postponed
each time. It has also been discussed at two
public hearings and has been the subject of
several columns and editorials in the Daily
Tar Heel.
A major objection to the comptroller,
voiced frequently by Bates, was that it
combines the legislative and executive
branches of government which Bates said
should be separated.
The duties of the comptroller include
overseeing all non-executive Student
Government organizations and making
monthly reports on all Student Government
funded organizations.

The Daily Tar Heel Emergency Loan
Fund was reactivated by the Campus
Governing Council Wednesday night,
releasing to the newspaper $10,000.
The loan is to be repaid within 30 days or
else be taken from the DTHs second
semester Student Government allocation.
The decision was made after Student Body
President Bill Bates read two letters from
DTH Business Manager Reynolds Bailey
and editor Cole C. Campbell requesting the
loan.
Campbell said at the meeting that the
paper needs money to operate until second
semester when the paper's major advertiser,
National Accounts, would pay its
advertising bill.
Less advertising money is taken in just
before Christmas because advertisers invest
their money into Christmas inventory,
Campbell explained. Then at the first of the
"I don't attach any significance at all to the
fact that I've been mentioned by the New
York Times" Sharp said. "I've been
mentioned before, even when we had
Democratic presidents, but it will take more
than being nominated to get me excited
about it."
Sharp added that she would like to see a
qualified woman nominated for the vacant
post, but she refused to say whether she
would accept the nomination if it were
offered her.
Revised Order No. 4 as "having fewer
minorities or women in a particular job
classification than would reasonably be
expected by their availability."
Roughly, this means that the racial and
sexual composition of a particular
institution's employees should approximate
the population mix of the area where it is
located.
But in the words of Richard A. Lester, an
economics professor from Princeton
University who published last year a
monograph on Affirmative Action and
universities, "While this might make sense in
the case of typists, bricklayers or punch press
operators, it is hardly applicable when it

In addition, the comptroller would be an
investigative arm of the Finance Committee
and CGC and would assist in preparing the
annual budget.
The comptroller could not hold any
appointed or elected office in Student
Government or any Student Government
funded organization.
Also under the comptroller bill, the
treasurer would oversee the executive
. branch budget and programs, as well as
being the investigative arm of the executive
branch.
A financial aide to the executive branch,
the treasurer would be directly accountable
to the president.
The treasurer would also disburse all CGC
funds, be a voting member of the Media
Board and assist in preparing the CGC and
executive budgets.
At the CGC meeting, Rep. Tal Lassiter
criticized the alternate bill to establish a
treasury department, saying that under the
bill, neither the assistant treasurer nor the
comptroller could make any decisions, and

year as the inventory is sold, advertisers pay
their bills, he said.
Several CGC representatives opposed the
extension of the loan because of cash flow
problems encountered by the Tar Heel
earlier this year.
Rep. Ben Steelman said Thursday that
although he could not foresee any alternative
to granting the loan since the CGC Media
Board representative Tal Lassiter said there
was a pressing short term need for the loan,
he is concerned over whether the loan would
solve the DTH's problem.
"It seems to me that the Tar Heel's cash
flow situation seems to be a chronic
problem, and I haven't heard any solutions
yet," he said.
"I've seen very little initiative from the Tar
Heel office in bringing forth solutions to this
cash flow problem."
Rep. Dick Pope said he believes the
question of the loan should have been
referred to the Finance Committee. "I want
to make sure we (CGC) are not giving bad
"You don't talk about something like that
cavalierly," Sharp said. "It would be
presumptuous of me to even assume that I
was being considered."

Development; Rita E. Hauser, a New York
lawyer and adviser to former President
Nixon; Soia Mentschikoff, dean of the

judge in Los Angeles.
comes to choosing a medieval historian."
Except for the field of education, Hunt
said there is a shortage of blacks in just about
every discipline. There is a greater
percentage of women with Ph.D's than
blacks, he said, but that number still does not
match white males.
An institution with UNCs reputation has
both expediting and restraining effects on
Affirmative Action, Hunt said.
"We're ranked among the top 20 to 25
universities in the nation," Hunt said. "That
means we have some attraction powers. We
don't attract people by not being good."
On the other hand, said Hunt, "The people
who come here ought to be able to perform
in this environment. We're trying to come up
with a University that will be better."
Revised Order jS'o. 4 was originally
designed in 1971 for industries; but it was not
applied to a university until 1972.
Trying to adapt it to a university setting
has been one of Hunt's biggest frustrations,
and it is a major reason why UNCs plan is
administered as much as possible on thet
departmental level.

Council were in attendance last night as the
comptroller passed
therefore the workload of the treasurer
would not be decreased.
Rep. Jay Tannen disagreed, saying the
treasury department bill stated that both the
assistant treasurer and the comptroller
would perform duties assigned by the
treasurer which would reduce his work.
Student Body Treasurer Graham Bullard
also said the comptroller bill would split the
treasurer's workload, which he said is too
much for one person. "From experience,
handling the funds of the administrative
branch is a full-time job," he said.
"The comptroller bill will get the treasury
out from the political arena," Bullard added.
In other action, CGC voted 14-2-4 to
override a presidential veto on a bill which
allows Finance Committee vice-chairperson
to sign for the treasurer if the treasurer's
office became vacant. Bates said he opposed
the bill because it gave a legislator executive
duties.
During the CGC meeting, Bates said that
with the passage of the comptroller bill a
vice-chairperson is not needed.

If the DTH follows the same financial
patterns as last year, the paper will be short
$20,000, he said.
Pope also said the business staff is
excellent in advertising but that it takes more
than advertising to operate a business.
The newspaper asked for the loan because
it was faced with a decision on whether to
continue publishing. Bailey said, explaining
that money from advertisers is not coming in
fast enough to insure publication.
Bailey said he tried all alternatives before
requesting the loan, including asking the
Media Board to allow the paper to publish
without requisitions and asking the treasurer,
to release the remainder of the Tar Heel's
Student Government allocation.
The business staff can use all of December
to collect money from advertisers without
having to expend any cash since the paper
does not publish during that month, he said.

Justice William Bobbitt
"We want to keep this plan and this
university as devoid of red tape as possible,"
Hunt said. "That is our tradition and that is
what we want to pursue. Mainly, we're trying
to cling to the things that make it a warm and
friendly place."
UNC sets percentage and numeric goals
for. employees in six broad categories. The
goals are set three' years in advance and
revised every year.
A brief scan of the goals set three years ago
show mixed results in the plan. In
Affirmative Action update issued by
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor last month,
progress in areas such as female Academic
Affairs faculty members is termed good,
where the 13.8 percentage (as of Sept. 30,
1975) exactly matches the goal set in 1972.
But the percentage of females on the
Health Affairs faculty has decreased since
1972, from 23 per cent to 22.4 per cent. This
year's hiring goal was 23.9 per cent.
The University of California at Berkeley
arrived at its figures through a statistical
availability analysis for each of its
departments.
