Carolina RHA
to host national
convention in'80
By CHRIS BURRITT
The UNC Residence Hall Association
made an impressive showing at the annual
conference of the National Association of
College and University Residence Halls by
winning three awards, including the
prestigious bid to host next year's
conference.
"We all just absolutely flipped," said
William Porterfield, president of Carolina's
RHA and one of 34 UNC students who
attended the two-day conference at Kansas
State University in Manhattan, Kan., last
week. "We had already gotten two awards.
So we thought they were just padding us for
the disappointment of not winning the bid to
host the 1980 conference at UNC."
The UNC delegation won the other
awards for being the most school-spirited
delegation and for preparing the best school
display based on the conference theme,
"Looking into the 1980's." - : Wi
The purpose of the conference, Porterfield
said, was to inform the delegates on topics
ranging from the handling of suicide
attempts in residence halls to the raising of
money through residence hall projects and
the development of residence hall leadership.
The conference will also be a shot in the
arm for the RHA, Porterfield said. "It means
that we have grown to the point where the
conference's national board of : directors
believes we can hold a conference of this
size," he said. About 750 people attended
this year's conference.
RHA has already begun to organize the
1980 conference, which will be held May 15
18. Porterfield has selected Paul Mayberry
as chairperson of the conference and of a
core committee within the RHA that will
organize the conference. .
"Now that we have the bid, we will be
recruiting resident hall students to help pull
off the conference," Porterfield said. "And
we also want students who haven't had a
chance to get involved in residence hall
activities to take a part."
Beer party tonight in Upper Quad
Student Government is giving away 10
kegs of beer, by the cupful, to anyone able to
prove he or she is at least 18 years of age.
The beer will be served from a party truck
from 8:30 to 1 1:30 tonight in the upper quad,
among Manly, Mangum, Ruffin and Grimes
residence halls.
The Student Government Summer Life
Program is sponsoring the festivity.
"The Campus Governing Council felt that
summer students pay the same fees as
everyone else but they don't get to take
advantage of all the organizations of student
government," explained Susan Treece,
student body treasurer. .
For this reason, the CGC allocated $5,000
to the executive branch for social functions
this summer, bypassing a treasury law which
prohibits the use of student fees for social
activities.
Treece is responsible for doling out the
funds, but a board advises her in the
decision-making process.
"We've still got plenty of bucks floating
around," Treece said. Any legitimate
University-affiliated organization can
qualify for funds, which can be applied for in
the treasurer's office. ,
