nger drop
By DIANE NORMAN
itafT Writer
The Faculty Council directed the
Educational Policy Committee to
reconsider the length of the University's
drop period. The committee will return to
the council with a recommendation either
for or against extending the current four
week period early in the spring semester.
The motion to have the EPC
reconsider the drop period was
introduced by William M. Hardy,
Faculty Council member and RTVMP
professor, and was passed without
discussion by the council.
Student Body President Jim Phillips
spoke to the assembly after Hardy's
motion was approved. Phillips said he
had come before the council because,
"The students of this U niversity are being
treated unfairly.
"The purpose of the drop is to allow a
student sufficient time to determine
whether he has the time and ability to
meet successfully his course requirements.
and to judge the effectiveness of the
instructor in meeting his educational
needs," Phillips said. "The four-week
drop period does not fulfill this purpose.
"The students are perplexed," Phillips
said. "They are told that they come to this
University to learn, achieve and prepare
for a position in our society. Yet through
harsh academic policies, that same
University is making it nearly impossible
for students to accomplish these goals."
As examples of harsh academic
policies, Phillips cited last year's
adoption of plus-minus grading, the four
week drop period and the recent
memoranda from Samuel R. Williamson,
dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,
asking 10 departments to re-examine
their grading procedures in an effort to
curb grade inflation.
Williamson denied that efforts to stop
grade inflation are harsh to students. "I
think that misrepresents the situation
entirely," he said.
The 10 departments were asked to
examine their grades in order to bring
their QPAs in line with those of other
departments for purposes of awarding
representative "class ranks, ""'Williamson
said, y
"We're trying tomake things equitable
across the board." Williamson said he
would prefer that the drop period stay at
four weeks, but that he is prepared to
examine any new proposals from the
EPC.
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for
Student Affairs, said he supports Phillips'
proposal to extend the drop period to six
weeks.
"I'm hopeful that I can get on their
(EPC's) agenda and give them my two
cents," Boulton said.
The drop-period extension is necessary
because students cannot get their first
choices when they select courses, Boulton
said. That forces students to shop around
for courses, and they need a longer time
to do that, he said.

Aliimiii, Carolina offense re turn to good old days
By PETE MITCHELL
' Assistant Sports Editor
Joyce and Harold, class of 1962, made their annual trip to
Chapel Hill this weekend. Joyce has always liked the
Homecoming festivities the Glenn Miller dance, the crowning
of the queen things like that. It gives Harold a chance to scout
out the basketball team at the Blue-White game.
His old fraternity throws a good one every year. Open bar,
band, a chance to renew old acquaintances.
Of course they went to the football game too. Harold mailed
away for tickets back when Carolina fever struck quite a few
billfolds. Their seats were in the upper deck, visitor's side, with
the bright November sun right in their eyes.
Joyce didn't mind. She brought her dark glasses along and
read the program most of the time anyway. Harold pulled out his
Carolina blue visor and had a great time.
"Nothin' worse than a dang Wahoo. Now why couldn't we do
this against those dang boys from Miami or Richmond?"
"Or N.C. State," Joyce said, looking up from the program.
Harold didn't say anything, just twisted his visor down a little
lower on his forehead.
Indeed, down on the field was a happening Carolina folks have
been unaccustomed to this year: long runs and passes, yards
lots of them, touchdowns and field goals too something to keep
the Kenan crowd from dozing off in the latter part of the first
quarter for once. ' v
Thirty-eight points. 495 total yards, 25 first downs. They
must've whispered a few secrets into Dick Crym's headphones.
"It was no problem at all this week," defensive end T.K.
McDaniels said. "We relaxed all week and got real fired up.
Coach Crum was worried about us not respecting them, but we
heard some Virginia people didn't think much of us and it fired us
up. Especially in the second half when they had a couple long
drives and pissed us off."
At halftime Carolina led only 21-14, but quarterback Chuck
Sharpe scored his second touchdown and then drove the team
close enough for Jeff Hayes to hit from 36 yards in the Tar Heels'
first two possessions of the second half to put things out of reach,
31-14.

If the U niversity cannot encourage private developers to build
apartments in the Chapel Htll-Carrboro area, it may build off
campus housing itself. UNC housing officials said Thursday.
We have to find out if the towns and developers are
interested," Planning Office Director Gordon Rutherford said.
"We'll make up our minds as to which way we're going to go in
the next couple of months. The housing situation isn't going to
get any better. If a private developer began to build now, the
housing wouldn't be ready until 1980.
Rutherford and James Cansler. associate vice chancellor for'
Student Affairs, met with the Carrboro Planning Board on
Thursday to ask them to encourage developers to build in
Carrboro. . ;
"We have come here to express our concern that the housing
inventory in the Chapel HiH-Carborro area is already
substantially low," Cansler told the board. We had to turn away
660 students last spring who wanted to return to on-campus
housing. Since 1970. the population of Carrboro has doubled,
and the population of Chapel Hill has increased by 39 percent.
The housing iventory just hasn't kept pace with that growth."
But Planning Board members were not entirely optimistic
about new housing. Maaywere concerned that additional
apartments will bring new: transportation and traffic problems.
"How are we going to te aided in providing transportation?"
board member l.eann Sparks asked. l am hesitant to approve
any large housing project unless We address the problem of how
we're going to get these students to school."
"The U niversity will be involved in solving the transportation
problem,; Cansler said.
Board member Emmet Pendergraph asked housing officials if
UNC is departing from its policy of providing student housing.
Cansler said UNC is not departing from that policy, but the
private sector can build housing faster and more economically
than the' state can. "We would also like to provide an additional
lifestyle." he said.
i think' Chapel Hill and Carrboro are the last places
developers want to build." Cansler said. "Planning boards and
boards of aldermen give developers hard times. If we can't get
private developers to build, we may do it ourselves on property
that we have." . - '
Cansler said if the University built more housing, it would be
some type of off-campus apartments. :"Were hof going to build
another residence hall." he said.
The housing officials emphasized to the board that Carrboro
does get teturns from students who live there. "They pay sales
taxes and Chapel Hilt and Carrboro get more federal revenue
sharing because the students are here," he said. "I'm sure you
don't perceive yftur jojs as Moppirtg growth." he told the board.
"Some of do. EtaEiiJJi5oard tnember Katherine Adams

"UNC played as close to their potential as they have all year."
Virginia coach Dick Bestwick said. "And it was our poorest,:
defensive effort of the year."
Put the two together, add four Carolina interceptions and 100
yard plus days by Sharpe and Amos Lawrence and the result
38-20. The homejocker room at Kenan Field House breathed a
long sigh of relief. . ' '.'..
"We needed to win here at home." said split end Jim Rouse
(three receptions), remembering three straight Kenan Stadium,

day where we could have laid down and quit." Crum said. "But
we didn't." ' . .'

The shifting of University students from N-4 parkingspaces to
a proposed fringe parking lot on Manning Drive will be the
primary issue decided in a meeting of the Vice Chancellor's
Committee on Parking and Traffic at 3 p.m. today in the Faculty
Lounge of the Morehead Planetarium. . ,
The primary stance ol the student members of the committee is
that no students should he moved from the N-4 .one. said Craig
Brown, a member of the committee, in a meeting of student
members and North Campus leaders in the Carolina Union
Sunday night. , ; ; .
But Brown said members are willing to give up 100 parking
spaces w it h the stipulation that ihey be taken from N-4B parking.
90 percent of which is assigned to commuters to campus.
If the committee still wishes to reduce students assignments to
the N-4A lot. which is primarily used by residents of Henderson
Residence College and jMorehead Confederation dormitories.
Brown said students would suggest the displaced students be
moved to the N-4K lot. The displaced parkers from N-4B would
in turn be moved to Manning Drive lot.
Traffic Office proposals for handling the parking situation
next yearp which w ill be made tighter by the elimination of the
Union lot "for the new central library, were presented to the
committee Oct. 30. The included moving between 100 and 625
students from the N-4 parking lot.
Today.'.-committee members may vote on the proposals.
However, the final decision will be made by John Temple, vice
chancellor for business and finance.
One concern ol students is the safety factor involved if they
have to park in the Manning Drive lot. said Joyce Green,
president' ol Cobb dormitory.
Cireen cited the fact that the S and U bus route, which would
connect the Manning Drive lot to campus, do not run after 2 a.m.
This would not be! a concern for commuters, who would have
accesstoa busduring theday and be able to park anywhere after
5 p.m.. Brown said.
General Assembly to consider fmids fo
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
Relief for cramped and 'crowded art students
may come to the UNC campus within five years in
the form of an 85,000 square foot, $6.2 million art
building.
The building, approved by the Board of
Governors and slated for consideration by the
1979 General Assembly, would help relieve the
crowded conditions and the dispersed facilities of
the art department.
According to a report issued by the art
department, the site of the building would be
"adjacent to the south side of Ackland and
bordered on the west by Columbia Street, on the
south by a private dwelling and on the east by
Evergreen House." An architectural firm in
Charlotte has been hired to design plans for the
building, said Gordon Rutherford, University
director of facilities planning.
"Before the hiring of the architectural firm, we
spent eight months getting reports for the needs of
the art department," said J. Richard Judson,
chairperson of the art department. "We spent a
good deal of time before the architect was brought
in to specify what we need."
The number of students taking art courses has
increased steadily, but the increase in available
space has lagged behind enrollment. According to
an art department report, 989 students were
enrolled in 58 art courses taught by 7 faculty
-members in 1960. In 1978, 2.692 students are
enrolled in 222 courses taught by 19 faculty
members. A footnote at the bottom of the report
indicates more students would have been enrolled
in 1978, but the art department did not have the
means to meet the demands.
Marvin Saltzman, chairperson of the division of.
fine arts, said one of the reasons for the lack of,
space for fine arts students is that, "Arts came very
late to Carolina." The division of fine arts includes
the RTVMP, drama, music and art departments.
Saltzman said it was not until the 1960s and the
arrival of freshman women that the majors offered
by the departments in fine arts became more highly
demanded.
Currently, the art department is spread
throughout four buildings, one of which is off
campus. Ackland contains the administrative
offices, faculty offices for art history, the art
library, classrooms, slide and photo collections
and the gallery. Painting and printmaking spaces
are in Lenoir and art education faculty offices and
teaching areas are in Caldwell. .
The, Studio Art Building contains art faculty
studios, but is located off Airport Road, near the P
parking lot. J. Richard Judson, chairperson of the
art department, said the sculpture and ceramics
classes also are in this building.
"This means a bus ride or a car," Judson said.
"The students have to be really dedicated.
"One of the more important things you should
have in an art department with a museum, a
' studio, a history department, is that they should all .
be under one roof," Judson said.
Judson emphasized that there should be
interaction between all divisions of the art
department and that such interaction is impossible
when the arts are in four separate buildings. "The
real struggle is to try to make this a real art
department," Judson said.
Rutherford said the new building, if approved,
would contain offices, classrooms, seminars
rooms for art history, studio art rooms and an art
library. "The new building would hopefully
consolidate art functions (currently housed) in.
Caldwell, Lenoir and Ackland," Rutherford said.
The offices and classrooms in Ackland could then
be renovated for use by the museum, he said.
Judson said the museum badly needs the office
and classroom space in Ackland.- "There is an
enormous need loi the museum to lutvc spaceto'
exhibit their objects and to mount special
exhibitions, programs for the community, film
programs," Judson said.' -;
Legislators and University officials Say they are ,;
hopeful that the money for the art building will be
appropriated by the 1979 Legislature. Rutherford
said he hopes the building will be under contract
within a year. Vied hancellor for Business and
Finance John Temple said, "We did receive
funding this past year for the design of it. This does .
indicate an intent on their (the legislature's) part to
fund the building " "
But Temple- warned that the state of the r
economy, the money available and the priority the.
legislature applies to the building all are
determinants in getting the money. "What will
happen now is speculation." Temple said.
Ed Holmes, chairperson of the House
Appropriations Committee, said he personally
hopes the project can be funded, and Trash H unt. a
member of , the same committee said the;
possibility of receiving the money for the building ;
is excellent. The General Assembly will vote on the
appropriation in April 1979.
Despite the current space shortage. Saltzman .
said he is tired of hearing the complaint the the .
not
that is
University isn't working for the arts. "We may
like what they do." he said, "but quite often th;
all they are able to do."
t He also said RTVMP students are crowded and
the drjtma 'department needs a classroom building.
Saltzman said there is a priority list, but that
enrollment will increase before buildings now
being planned are constructed.
."The 'Univcrsity will do. what it can because it
does recognize its responsibilities." Saltzman said.
"Students are going to have to make up their
minds what they want."'
Saltzman i hid the blame for the state of the arts
lies .as much with the state as it does with the
U niversity. 'rius is a poor state," he said. "It is,
basically, a patronage state. North Carolina never
had a bro,d Ease as support of the arts. A few
families gave a n. in so doing, created a tradition
of not having to give.
, Saltman said that in a given week, less than half
a page in practically any North Carolina
newspaper is devoted to a non-commercial music,
art or drama. In that same week, he said. SO pages
will be devoted to non-commercial athletics.
, "That is what I call the state of the arts in the
state of the arts." Saltzman said.
