SoHthern Assn. Ruling Blocks
Student Voice in Atiiietics
A proposal tor student re>
presentation on ttie college Ath*
letlc Committee has been tabled
due to a ruling of the Southern
Association of Schools and Col
leges.
The ruling stipulates that the
Athletic Committee Is to be ''un
der thi^supervLBioo of the facul
ty," thereby eliminating thepos-
slbllty of student representation
of standing and voting
rigtits.**
**I favor student representa
tion on the Athletic Committee,**
Dr. Kaempfer, Dean of the Fa
culty, said Wednesday, «but the
students will be unable to vote.**
The Student Government As
sociation, with the unanimous ap
proval of the Executive Council,
submitted two alternative plans
for incorporating student autho
rity in the present all-faculty
committee.
They are;
1) Maintain the present proce
dure and function of the commit
tee but either enlarge it to in
clude a sufficient number of stu
dent representatives or reduce
the number of faculty members
and augment that body with stu
dents.
2) Replace the present com
mittee with a new Athletic Com
mittee possessing a newlydeter-
mlned purpose and function and
compo^ Jointly of fkculty and
students.
Student represeotatlvw would
be appointed subject to the ap
proval of the Executive Council,
by the president of SGA to serve
tor one academic yearthepropo-
sal states.
There would t>e no less than
two student representatives on
the committee at any time.
SGA is a major financial con
tributor to the athletic program,
estimating a $7,200 allocation tor
1967-68.
««Students should be aware of
bow this money Is used and should
have some voice in determining
its disbursement**

A faculty panel discussion and
student referendum on Viet Nam

nounced today.
The alternative program was
proposed following the cancel

talk on Viet Nam Thursday.
Twice an envoy to Viet Nam on

position in Viet Nam.

goveminent, and Dr. Philip Walk

Five policies will be submitted
to the students for consideration
representing current stands on
the war.
Used in the Chapel Hill Viet
Nam referendum May 16, the
policies are as follows:
Policy A: The United States
should defeat the power of
North Vietnam by widespread
bombing of its industries, ports
and harbors, and by land in
vasion.
Policy B; The United States
should follow the present policy
in Vietnam.
Policy C; The United States
should de-escalate its military
activity, stop bombing North
Vietnam, and intensifj' its ef
forts to begin negotiations.
Policy D; The United States
should withdraw its military
forces from Vietnam immedi
ately.
None of the above alternatives
to Policy B accurately repre
sents my position, but in general,
I favor I. escalation, 2. de-es-
calatkM, of the present U. S.
effort In Vietnam.
The unofficial results at the
University of North Carolliia re
vealed that 2,024 students favor
various degrees of de-escalation.
Two hundred five students ad
vocated complete withdrawal of
U. S. military forces.
Slightly more than 1800 stu
dents favored escalation, Includ
ing 731 votes for continuing the
present policy of gradual esca
lation.
Dr. Farzanegan predicts little
correlation of vote results be-
.tween Chapel Hill and AsheviUe-
Blltmore jstudents.
