EDesegregatioii plan
to face MEW review 1
By TONY MACE
Staff Writer
The desegregation plan ol the 16
campus UNC system will once again face
review by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare when UNC
President William C. Friday unveils a
long-awaited program duplication study
Friday before the UNC board of
Governor's Committee on Educational
Planning, Policies and Programs.
Although the state's desegregation
plan was provisionally approved last
May, UNC is required to submit a study
to HEW by Dec. 3 1 outlining how it plans
to eliminate "educationally unnecessary
program duplication among traditionally
black and traditionally white institutions
in the same service area."
President Friday said he will not
comment on the contents of UNC's study
until the members of the Committee on
Educational Programs have seen the
report.
HEW will initiate administrative
proceedings to cut off tederal aid to UNC
unless the state presents a program
duplication report which HEW's Office
of Civil Rights finds acceptable. HEW
this month rejected duplication reports
filed by Virginia and Georgia. Officials of
the Office of Civil Rights said the two
states failed to either merge neighboring
black and white schools or shift programs
to promote racial integration.

Georgia are continuing,", said Lou

Some college students are turning
from liberal arts backgrounds to
more specialized professional
training in hopes of finding plentiful
jobs, despite the fact employers still
are looking for liberal arts majors, a
Speech 55 group reported Tuesday.
The report was compiled by a
subgroup of the Small Group
Discussion class taught by Julia T.
Wood. The group spent this semester
researching and interviewing career
counselors, faculty and
administrators at UNC and other
schools.
The purpose of the study was to
design proposals on the General
College curriculum.
"I feel students don't realize the
value of a liberal arts education and
they're limiting courses," group
member Paul Whaley said.
The UNC College of Arts and
Sciences has formed the Committee
to Review the Undergraduate
Curriculum. The committee, which is
expected to submit its report to Dean
Samuel Williamson by April, is
studying the math-foreign language
option, divisional requirements and
specialization of majors.
The speech group made
recommendations Tuesday to
department heads and advisers that
more students be placed on
curriculum review boards, that
freshmen learn early of the benefits of
a liberal arts background, that

comment on speculation that the OCR is
taking a tougher stance in pressuring
southern states to desegregate their
university systems.
North Carolina's duplication study
examines the programs in two
metropolitan" areas
Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, which
includes UNC-CHCCU and NCSU,
and Winston-Salem Greensboro, which
includes UNC-G, NC A&Tand Winston
Salem State University.
North Carolina's situation is somewhat
different from those of Georgia and
Virginia, said John Sanders, UNC vice
president' for planning.
"We differ from them in that we have
more formerly black institutions, and
because we have what HEW call the
'flagship institutions' UN C-CH and
NCSU involved in the duplication
study," Sanders said.
"It's a difference in dealing with
marginal vs. principle .institutions,"
Sanders said.
In rejecting the Georgia duplication
study, HEW called for mergers of Albany
State and Albany Junior College. In
Virginia, HEW- suggested combining
Norfolk State and Old Dominion.
UNC last year received $90 million in
federal aid. 'If HEW begins
administrative proceedings to cut off
federal funds, UNC would file a challenge
in U.S. Middle District Court seeking to
have the action declare d
unconstitutional, UNC officials say.
departments cooperatively teach
courses and that each department re
evaluate its course requirements.
"We found that the more you
specialize, the more doors you close
for yourself," group member Wanda
Chappell said.
The group found that employers
still look for persons with reading,
writing, reasoning and
communication skills.
"We want to make sure students
are going in professional schools
because they are interested in them
and not because it will get them a
job," said Eliza Lamm, another
group member. -
Whaley said until 1957, a liberal
arts education was held in high
esteem by both students and the
general public. It was in 1957 that the
Russians launched Sputnik, the first
space satellite. The ensuing
technology race led to an upgrading
of college science curricula and at the
expense of liberal arts curricula.
During the 1960s, Whaley said,
students demanded more relevant
courses and more choice in taking
courses. Whaley said job-oriented
courses like computer science
developed as a result. Students also
gained elective hours.
"Practical knowledge from
college-specialized education is soon
out of date (due to fast-changing
technology)," Whaley said.

Jim Phillips, student body president,
said Wednesday he will ask the Campus
Governing Council to appropriate
$100,000 to bring four big-name bands to
Springfest.
"I'm going to the CGC Finance
Committee today and ask them to
appropriate $100,000 out of the general
surplus-to help us financrthis," Phillips
said. ,
The concerts, if approved, will include
two bands each night on April 20 and 21 ,
and will be held in Kenan Stadium.
J. B. Kelly, who has been working on
the project for a number of weeks, listed
bands Student Government is
considering. "We'd like to see big bands
such as Boston. Fleetwood Mac, Linda
Rondstadt, Earth, Wind and Fire, The
Commodores and Jackson Browne," he
said. "One night will be rock n' roll, and
the other night will be a combination like
Earth, Wind and Fire and the
Commodores.
Friday and Saturday afternoons,
Henderson Residence College will have
local bands like Brice Street, Arrogance
and Mike Cross, just like they've had
before."
Phillips said because the CGC cannot
finance the concerts alone he has made
arrangements to co-sponsor the concerts
with Tom Purdie. a local merchant.
Purdie will act as producer and help to
finance the event.

For five years Paul Clay Sorum was a
member of the University history faculty.
He is now in the middle of his third year at
the UNC medical school. Sych a radical
change in vocation may be of some solace
to those students still quaking in the wake
of Senior Panic Week, but what
prompted this sudden tranformation?
Sorum failed to get tenure in 1975.
With his interest now turned toward
medicine, Sorum recently reflected on the
standards by which faculty members are
evaluated.
"Teacher evaluation in the classroom is
largely a matter of hearsay, as nobody sits
in," Sorum said. "For this reason,
teachers are now judged far more by their
research publications and the talks they
give outside the classroom."
Until 1973, students filled out
evaluation forms when faculty members'
tenures came up for review. Sorum said.
The teacher had to submit a set from one
class to the committee that was to decide

$80,000," Phillips said. "He won't make
any profit off that $80,000, and we only
risk losing $20,000. He'll cover any losses
over that.
"Purdie is interested in this sort of
thing. He's in the entertainment business
(Purdie owns a disco now under
construction on Franklin Street), and it
would be a very good thing for his
reputation to say he successfully
produced a concert of this magnitude."
Phillips said the CGC has enough
money in its general surplus tafinance its
share of the concerts. "According to Bill
Parmelee (student body treasurer), by
" April, we'll have about $180,000 in the
surplus. I've talked to several finance
committee members, and everyone we
talked to in fact everyone we talked to
on the council has been in favor of it."
Phillips said he also has the approval of v
Donald Boulton. vice chancellor for
Student Affairs. "Dean Boulton has been
supportive of the concerts, as long as
everything's legal, as has Bill Cobey
(athletic director). Tim Stump. Beta
Theta Pi social chairperson, has talked to
Cobey, and he (Cobey) said we could use
Kenan as long as the people from the
hospital said it was OK."
Student Government still may
encounter legal problems," however,
Phillips said. "I'm going to the state
attorney general's office tomorrow to talk
to Andrew Vanore., the legal counsel for
the University," Phillips said. "We're
going to take up a couple of contracts
we've drawn up and let him look them
over. We've got to make sure we can do
wake of graduate-student complaints
about an earlier recommendation, which
would have placed graduate students
under t he same visitat ion regulat ions now
applied to undergraduates. ,
RHA decided to reconsider the earlier
proposals largely due to a resolution by
the Craige Executive Council urging the
University administration to reject the
proposals, retain the current 24-hour
visitation policy for graduate students
and extend that policy to undergraduates
housed on the first two floors of Craige.
The Craige resolution was submitted to
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor; Donald
Boulton, vice chancellor for Student
Affairs; James Condie. director of
housing; Jim Osteen. assistant director
for residence life; and RHA President
Don Fox last Thursday.
After rejecting five proposals, the
board amended the recommendation to
say that: "Any policy established and
enforced be applied to all University
residence halls, with the recognition that
special situations exist at present and may
arise in the future which may be
considered for exemption."
Under this provision, Craige could be
considered a "special situation" because it
houses two floors of undergraduates-in
addition to graduate students.

effectively, read with understanding
and interpret correctly.
The group also is suggesting that
students be allowed to delay
declaring a major. Students now
declare their , major during their
fourth semester.
upon his future. Because this system left it
open for the teacher to select the best class
evaluations, Sorum commented, it was
discontinued.
"Consequently there was a tremendous
pressure upon faculty members to have
books published," Sorum said. "This
meant that there was far less emphasis
upon the actual teaching and preparation
for classes than I would have liked."
Sorum's tenure was reviewed in 1975.
He had just had his book Intellectuals
and Decolonization in France accepted
for publication.
"Timing is important," he said. "It is
vital to have the book accepted by a well
known publisher before the committee's
decision."
His 250-page work required six years
of writing, including a' year's research in
Europe, he said. To have the book
published before his tenure was reviewed,
he said he took a semester off from
teaching to complete it.

this and make sure we can take Purdie's
money." ,
Tina Alexander. HRC social
chairperson, said she thought the
addition of big-name entertainment at
night will greatly improve Springfest as a
whole. '
"The quality of bands we'll be able to
bring to the area will be much better," she
said. "With a more concentrated time
period for HRC, we feel all the way -around
the students will be getting a
better deal. Some might be a little upset
that Springfest will be taken, in part,
away from the HRC area, but I'm sure
once they hear about the big bands
coming, they'll be pleased."
Phillips said the concerts would be
advertised throughout the North
Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia
areas. "Hopefully this will be something
everyone can enjoy." he said. "Also
during the weekend is Apple Chill, and
hopefully we'll be able to have some kind
of carnival and let organizations set up
booths on Carmichael Field. There will
be a lot of things to do during the
weekend. Student tickets for each night
will be $4, and non-student tickets will be
higher."
Phillips said the concerts would be a
good way to use some of the money from
the general surplus. "This concert is for
students," he said. "They've paid in
money over a long period of time, and
they've just watched it pile up in
something called a general surplus which
they get no use out of. I n this way, we'll be
able to use the monev to benefit the
"The distinction that one person has a
bachelor's degree and one doesn't is the
poorest grounds in the world for giving
one group special vprivi leges," Fox said.
"On the other hand. RHA represents all
the residents in Cruigc. and I'd hate to do
anything that Would be damaging or
regressive to the grad students."
The original recommendations of the
RHA committee studying visitation
included a provision that any policy
established and enforced be applied
equally to all undergraduate residence
halls. This recommendation was
amended last week by the RHA Board of
Governors by deleting the word
"undergraduate" so as to include the
graduate students living in Craige.
The original committee
recommendations were submitted to the
RHA Board of Governors Nov. 7. The
committee was appointed to study the
current policy and alternatives as the
result of student and housing staff
dissatisfaction for a crackdown in
enforcement of the policy initiated this
fall.
Currently, graduate students in Craige
are subject to a 24-hour policy, while
undergraduates must abide by the Open

EVANSTON. III. The biggest
problem Carolina had here Wednesday
night was when a Chicago policeman
ticketed the Tar Heels' bus driver
downtown Chicago lor making a left
turn that the sign said was a none. But
after working that minor detail out with
one of Chicago's finest it was full speed
ahead for UNC as the far Heels opened
their 1978-1979 season with a 97-67 win
over the Northwestern Wildcats.
And you can take your pick of a
number of Tar Heels to give the Most
Valuable Player award to. Mike
O'Koren was his usual pesky self
around the baskets here in McGaw
Hall, taking liberties along the fane to
score 25 points while grabbing seven
rebounds.
Al Wooa and his picturesque jump
shot hit for 19 points from near and far,
Jeff Wolf did a good job handling the
dirty work under the basket and Dave
Colescott ran the Tar Heel offense with
the required number of floor burns on
his elbows and knees that UNC point
guards are supposed to have.
And don't forget John Virgil's 14
points, Dudley Bradley's excellent
defensive play and the capable bench
play of Rich Yonakor, Ged Doughton
and Pete Budko.
The game provided a good warmup

If the attendance is at least 18,000 each
night, Phillips said, Purdie and the CGC
will break even. "There is a good chance
that if we get real good attendance both
nights, that is, around 25,000," Phillips
said, "we will make a profit that will go
into ensuring the same kind of concerts
will be held each year."
Phillips said plans are by no means
complete, but if no legal technicalities are
involved, UNC will have no problem
attracting big bands. "We've contacted a
number of really big bands, and they're
interested in coming here." he said.
visitation hours from noon-1 a.m.
Sunday through Thursday, and noon-2
a.m. Friday and Saturday.
Dart Hemrickr governor of Craige, had
voiced concern last week that the
discrepancy in hours has caused conflicts
between graduate and undergraduate
residents of the dorm.
Hemrick's proposal that both graduate
and undergraduate residents of Craige
abide by the 24-hour policy was the first
of many proposals made by members of
the board that were rejected.
"1 pay the same money to live in the
dorm as the grads do," Hemrick said.
"Just because I live on first floor is no
reason that I could be kicked out for
something everybody else is getting away
with. You can't have two sets of people
living in the same building under two sets
of rules."
The final recommendations approved
Tuesday will be submitted to the
department of housing, the division of
Student Affairs and the chancellor for
final approval.
The Board of Governors also
unanimously approved a residence hall
bill of rights to be submitted along with
the visitation recommendations.

"They were rougn underneath,"
O'Koren said. "They seemed to be more

physical than running their patterns."
The Wildcats got an early look at
what the Tar Htels' defense had
planned for them, as it took three trips
down the floor at the beginning for
Northwestern to get a shot off. From
there the Tar Heels jumped to a 9-2 lead
and were never threatened.
