Committee in executive session
to discuss BSM finance report
by Chris Fuller
Staff Vriter
The Campus Governing Council Finance
Committee met in executive session
Wednesday afternoon to discuss the findings
of a special committee set up to investigate
alleged treasury law violations committed
last summer by the Black Student
Movement.
CGC Finance Committee Chairperson
Doug Smith said the committee was going
into executive session because the records to
be discussed were obtained with the
understanding that they would remain
confidential.
Smith said the committee discussed copies
of BSM Gospel Choir bank statements and
checks obtained from the North Carolina
National Bank (NCNB). Smith said tiie bank
records did not show the finance committee
anything it did not already know.
The special investigatory committee was
formed last September after BSM's Student
Government fund allocation was frozen by
then-Student Body Treasurer Mike O'Neal.
O'Neal and some CGC members charged
that the choir maintained an illegal checking
account at NCNB.
Student Body President Bill Bates said
that CGC Rep. Sheri Parks, a Finance
Committee member who served on the
investigatory committee, is now trying to
arrange a meeting with the members of the
Gospel Choir and the Finance Committee to
discuss the records she obtained from
NCNB.
CGC Rep. Dick Pope said the records
obtained by Parks would be compared with
those currently in the Student Government
files.
The investigatory committee, formed by
CGC, consisted of Parks and Associate
Dean of Student Affairs Harold Wallace. It
was originally scheduled to issue a report on
Oct. 7, but it was later postponed to Nov. 7
when it became evident that the records from
the bank could not be obtained in time for
the deadline.
Vote in Carrboro could mean
bus service by September 76
Public bus
may become a
service in Carrboro
reality by August or
September if plans for an April referendum
materialize and cooperation continues
between Chapel Hill and Carrboro
administrators.
Carrboro Mayor Ruth West appointed
Aldermen Robert Drakeford and Ernest
Patterson in December to set up a
transportation committee and authorized
them to expand the committee with local
input as heeded. Since then, Drakeford and
Patterson have" added Alderman Nancy
White and UNC junior Sue Cobb to the
committee.
Drakeford and Patterson have also met
with Chapel Hill Town Manager Kurt
Jenne, Alderman Gerry Cohen,
Transportation Board Chairperson Terry
Lathrop and Carrboro's interim Town
Manager Philip Whittaker to discuss the
extension of Chapel Hill's bus system into
Carrboro.
At the meeting, Patterson and Drakeford
requested and have since received a report
from Jenne outlining alternative service
plans and cost estimates for the project. Both
aldermen have said that the costs projected
in the report which range from $106,000 to
$150,000 are somewhat high for Carrboro's
budget and that they would like to modify
the suggested routes. However, both said
that they anticipate being able to resolve
these questions with Chapel Hill
administrators.
A referendum can be scheduled as soon as
an acceptable means of financing the
extended bus service can be decided upon,
Patterson said. However, the referendum
cannot be held within a month of the March
23 presidential primary. Patterson hopes the
1976 Orientation '
applications ready
Applications for fall 1976 orientation area
coordinators will be available at the Union
desk and from resident 'directors beginning
Friday, Jan. 9, the Orientation Commission
announced Wednesday.
The coordinators will plan activities for
incoming freshmen and junior transfers next
fall and will choose orientation counselors.
Applications must be turned in at either the
Union desk or the orientation office in Suite
D. Decisions will be made by February 1.
referendum can be held April 23.
Drakeford said he thinks the referendum
should include two provisions. One involves
authorization of bonds for capital
(equipment) costs, and the second involves
authorization of a special tax to handle
operating costs.
The referendum and the report received
from Jenne will be discussed at today's
special 8 p.m. meeting in the Carrboro Town
Hall. ..

UNC, Duke University and N.C.
State University announced the
formation of the nation's first tri
university joint research center during a
Dec. 10 press conference.
-The Triangle Universities Center for
Advanced Studies, to be located in
Research Triangle Park, will invite
scholars from various fields to study and
conduct research at the center. Former
N.C. State Chancellor John Carldwell
was appointed president of the center.
Caldwell said that scholars at the
institute would possibly lead seminars
or otherwise interact with programs at
the three area universities.
In announcing the creation of the
Center for Advanced Studies, Caldwell
noted that it would "increase the
scholarly output of the triangle area in
unbelievable dimensions.
1 "It isn't just rhetoric to say that the
advancement of humankind comes
through advanced thinking. If we can
use the resources of these three
universities, we can be of significance to
the world."
The tri-university institute's . first
project is to attract the National
Academy of Arts and Science's national
humanities center, Caldwell said. The
academy is strongly leaning in favor of
the North Carolina location and will
probably locate here, tri-university
center board member Walton Jones said
Wednesday.
If established here, the national
humanities center will bring up to 50
humanities scholars to the facility to do
research and communicate with their
peers, Jones explained, adding that the
center is not viewed solely as an
academic endeavor. The scholars
invited to the center may come from
government and business as well as the
academic world, he noted.
"We want to shed light on problems.
The center is not just to develop scholars
but to pass something on to the rest of
the world," Jones explained.
The Triangle Universities Center is
the product of two years of planning by
the three universities and the Research
Triangle Foundation, Caldwell - said.
The Research Triangle Foundation has
reserved 120 acres' of land in the
Research Triangle Park for the center
and financed initial planning through a
$50,000 grant.
Archie Davis, president of the
Research Triangle Foundation, and.
UNC President William C. Friday have
secured pledges of over $2.5 million for
the funding of the center's projects,
Caldwell said.
Future funding will probably be
through grants from foundations,
government and, industry,-Jones said,
noting that the center will be primarily
non-state supported. The center will
seek grants from groups that have a
special interest in specific programs,
Jones said, adding that some continued
funding by the Research Triangle
Foundation is anticipated.
In "petitioning for the national
humanities center, the tri-university
center pledged 15 acres of land, a $1.5
million facility and $2GO,0OO-S30O,0OO a
year for five years in operating funds for
the national center.
The Research Triangle Foundation
provided the land for this bid, while the
money for the operating budget will
come from the three universities, Jones
said. ,
. .
Each university will be involved in the
center's policy decisions through its
representative on the tri-university
board of trustees, Jones said. The
center's vice presidents are William F.
Little of UNC, John Oates of Duke and
Vivian Stannett of NCSU.
All projects of the center will be
cooperative ventures similar to the
Triangle Universities Computation
Center at Research Triangle Park, the
Triangle Universities Nuclear
Laboratory at Duke and the Triangle
Mass Spectrometry Center in the
Research Triangle Institute.
