Energy conservation and driver
convenience are the two reasons Chapel
Hill officials give for changing some of
the town's stoplights so that they flash
caution during the late night and early
morning hours. ,
From 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day,
lights at the intersections of Graham,
Henderson and Hillsborough streets
with Franklin Street and the
intersections of Rosemary Street with
Columbia Street and South. Road with
Country Gub Drive are changed from
stoplights to flashing caution signals.
Town Manager Gene Shipmaii has
recommended to the Town Council that
lights at the intersections of Cameron
Avenue, McCauley Street and Manning
Drive with South Columbia Street,
which are also on the flashing signals, be
returned to regular stoplights because of
the heavy early morning traffic. The
council will consider the request at its
meeting tonight.
Shipman said the original changes
came at the request of the state
Department of Transportation which
asked cities to determine which
(

intersections could use flashing signal
lights during the late night and early
morning hours and if these changes
would increase fuel efficiency. The
Chapel Hill Police Department then
determined which lights could be set to
blink.
Council member Bill Thorpe, who
requested on Sept. 8 that Shipman do a
report on the feasibility of switching
lights, said the changes were made for
the "convenience of people driving at
that time."
The council also will consider a
resolution that lights at the intersection
of Pittsboro Street with McCauley Street
and Cameron Avenue with Raleigh and
Ransom streets be switched to a flashing
signal.

Many undergraduate computer
science majors are upset with new course
changes in their curriculum, Student
Government Chancellor's Committee
Coordinator Danny McKeithen said
recently.
"These changes will dilute the value
of an undergraduate degree in computer
science," he said.
Four courses in computer science have
been dropped from the undergraduate
curriculum, although one will remain as
an elective. Several other courses in
math, physics, statistics, operations
research and computer science have been
added as requirements. Also, juniors
must maintain aC average or better in
certain courses in order to register for
courses at the senior level; -
The changes- force students id earn
graduate computer science degree in order
to get a good job in the computer science
field, McKeithen said. "This is one of
the most profitable degrees UNC has to
offer. With these new changes, the
undergraduate curriculum will lose a
great deal of its competiveness," he
said.
The changes have been approved at
the various math departmental levels
and have been given an informal
approval by the math department dean.
Student Government Action Line has
received several calls from computer
science students opposed to the changes
and 15 students have visited the Student
Government office to complain. Many
of these students had not planned to go
on to graduate school, McKeithen said,
and are upset because the changes have
been made without student input.
About 60 students have voiced strong
concern over the grade requirement
change, said Missy Schach,-a computer
science major. "We don't think it's fair
the way they went about handling this.
The changes seem to be so cut and dried.
"It just doesn't seem fair (to students
who have) already started in the
computer science curriculum," Schacht
said.
But the decision to change the
curriculum was made for economic
reasons, mathematics professor William
Mann sai'd.
"There is more demand (for courses)
thaasupplyy"., he-said. "We just'don!t
have the people to teach' (the ' dropped
courses). There is more pressure on the
computer science department than their
resources can satisfy."
Computer Science Professor Stephen
Pizer said the new curriculum will take a
strain off the graduate program. "This
University is not in the business of
vocational training. We are here to
broaden fundamental education. This
new program is much more in that
spirit."

Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III and Daniel
Pollitt, chairman of the UNC faculty, spoke on the
progress and problems of the University Friday at the
faculty's first meeting of the academic year.
During the meeting, a report was made concerning
the establishment of a faculty club, and several
amendments were made to the faculty code.
At the Faculty Council meeting, which immediately
followed the general meeting, the council approved a
resolution supporting the complaints of the UNC-CH
Librarians Association. That group objected to the
UNC. Board of Governor's proposed policies for
University employees not covered by the state
Personnel Act.
Both Pollitt and Fordham also briefly addressed the
University's commitment to affirmative action.
Fordham said the search committee for the
University's new affirmative action officer was
"making good progress" and that it should have an
anouncement in a few weeks.
Pollitt commended Fordham for his "great concern
for affirmative action." Pollitt also said the advisory
committee on affirmative action was being re
established. During the general meeting of the faculty. Jack
Sasson, professor of religion; reported on the Faculty
and Staff Recreation Association's work in organizing
the faculty club.
He said the association was investigating leasing the
current Zeta Tau Alpha sorority house for use as a
faculty dining room-gathering place.
The faculty unanimously approved the establishment
of a committee on research, a change in terms of the
officers on the administrative boards of the General
College, the College of Arts and Sciences and the
graduate schools; and a minor restructuring of the
Educational Policy Committee.
During the meeting cf the Faculty Council, action
was taken on the librarians' complaint about the state's
proposed personnel policy fcr University employees
exempt from the state Personnel Act.
. The council approved a resolution stating that
"there exists serious concern regarding the proposed
employment policies and more time should be given in
resolving these issues before a final draft is submitted
for approval by the Board cf Governors."
The employees' main complaints with the regulations
are:
Employees exempted from the state Personnel Act
are employed at the will of the chancellor.
There is no appeals procedure for employees who
are fired.
. The definition of annual leave is awkward and
allows for only 10 days of vacation.

Student Body President Bob Saunders
has not been spending his Sunday nights
alone. At least once a month he may be
found representing student concerns as
the only student member of the
Carrboro Coalition.
The coalition traditionally has been
known as a liberal group. But Saunders;
said he did not see the coalition as
liberal. He defined the coalition as a
"group of public officers and citizens
whose common goal is to ensure that all
citizens, particularly newer citizens like
students, have a voice that is heard."
, "I don't think the coalition is liberal
for the sake of being liberal," Saunders
said. "They want to include as many
people in the decision-making as
possible. If that's liberalism, then I'm all
for it."
Saunders said he thought the transit
system in Carrboro had improved
substantially. He said the coalition had
been a significant force behind that
improvement. ,
"I'm attracted to the coalition because
of its" continued support for the bus
system," Saunders said. "Carrboro has
worked for a strong bus system since my
freshman year. The idea of split routes
doesn't really increase the service. It just
makes for more efficient service."
In a November referendum, Carrboro
will attempt for the fourth time to
establish a separate transit tax for its bus
system. Previously, the town has
depended on state and federal revenue
sharing funds to finance the system. The
referendum would levy a tax of not more
than 10 cents per $100 property tax to
support public transportation.
Saunders called the referendum the
"true test" for Carrboro's transit
system. The referendum would lessen
Carrboro's dependence on outside
funds, Saunders said. Revenue sharing
funds vary yearly and may be terminated
he said.
"A separate transporation tax would
ensure a stable bus system. It would be
easier to meet the demands for public
service increase," Saunders said.
Action Line, sponsored by Student
Government, is planning to go through
the phone book calling Carrboro
students to remind them about the voter
registration dates, Saunders said. After
Oct. 6, Action Line will be calling
students to explain the referendum.
Saunders said he also was considering
delivering letters to students door-to-door
before the referendum campaign.
The Carrboro transit system was among
the . issues included in a Student
Government questionnaire circulated
among 3,000 students during
Orientation. Of those polled, 65 percent
of the Carrboro residents favored the
tax.
"The bus system, when it was
inaugurated four or five years ago,
changed the social landscape here, and
that was the first commitment Carrboro
made to what the town can do for its.
citizens," he said. "The decision to
inaugurate a bus system has to have an
organized effort of people pushing for a
bus system. That's one of the functions
Dob Saunders
the coalition has initiated in the past."
Saunders said he believed the student
body supported a strong bus system and
that student involvement like his
possibly could strengthen it.
"(The coalition) stands for increasing
as many people as possible in the
workings of town hall and to me, that
means students will be included,"
Saunders said.
Chancellor to he installed on University Day
The formal inauguration of Christopher C. Fordham III as
chancellor of the University will highlight University Day
ceremonies Oct. 12. Since University Day falls on a Sunday
this year, no classes will be cancelled for the festivities. The
day is the anniversary of the 1793 laying of the cornerstone of
Old East, the first state university building in the nation.
UNC President William C. Friday will preside over
ceremonies in Memorial Hall at 2' p.m. Scheduled speakers
include Fordham; John Jordan, chairman of the UNC Board
of Governors; and Hargrove Bowles, chairman of the UNC
Board of Trustees. . . . ... .
An original piece of- music, "Commemorative Anthem,"
has been written by music student Samuel Dean Johnson with
lyrics from two works compiled by Carl Stam, UNC music
instructor. It will be sung by approximately 150 singers from
the Carolina Choir and the Men's and Women's glee clubs.
They will be accompained by a brass choir and an organ.
An academic procession headed by UNC Faculty Marshall
Stirling Haig, professor in the Department of Romance
Languages, will open the program. There also will be a
presentation of distinguished alumnus awards.
