Vol. 7, no. 3 the university of n. c. at asheville thursdav. oct. 7. 1Q71 National Student Groups Charge Council With Discrimination WASHINGTON, D. C., ,(CPS) —Three national student groups charged the Cost of Living Council with “incredible” discrimination against working students in the administration of the Wage-Price Freeze. A spokesman for the Council replied that the "unique re lationship between students and schools" allowed universities to raise tuition, room and board rates. He said because ijmversity facilities are available to stu dents on a year round basis, that the announcement date of university expenses determin ed their eligibility to increase rates. Students across the country meanwhile are experiencing even greater difficulty gaining the necessary funds for school ing because federal grants-in- aid and National Defense loans have been slashed. The three groups—the Student National Education Association (SNEA), the National Student Association (NSA), and the Association of Student Govern ments (ASG)—made the charges in a Capitol Hill press conference. They demanded that the Cost of Living Council: “1) Exempt all work-study wage increases from the freeze, 2) Set and broadly publicize guidelines for wage exemptions in student hard ship cases, and 3) Instruct Office of Emergency Preparedness offices to expedite speedy de cisions in those hardship cases.” “Working students who were scheduled for pay raises need to know immediately if they will receive the necessary funds to stay in school,” said Frank Buress, president of the 85,000 dialogue: member SNEA. “And yet the Cost of Living Council has failed to spell put procedures and guidelines that could ensure speedy decisions for these stu dent hardship cases.” see page 3 Sociology Begins Speaker Series “We want to develop an at mosphere of discussion and dialogue between student and faculty. What a cliche! But how do you do it?“, asks Dr. Walter Boland. Building that atmosphere of dialogue is the objective of a new program, part of massed effort by the Sociology Depart ment of UNC-A to gain student interest and student involve ment in its curriculum. Plans call for a meeting of Sociology majors and any other interested members of the University community every two weeks on campus or at a private home. The meetings will feature an informal talk by a community or agency leader to discuss some of the problems they face in their work with the ubran community. First of the speakers was Wilbur Hobby, State AFL-CIO President who spoke on union organizing in North Carolina September 30. Although Hobby was the first of the series of speakers, the September 30 meeting was not characteristic of what the Sociology Depart ment plans will be informal, personal meetings. Hobby's speech was held on campus because of his State position. Robert Brunk, Instructor in Sociology has been most in volved In contacting speakers for the series, and several civic leaders and agency heads have agreed tentatively to participate. photo by Mark Wilson experimental production of Rehearsals for Theatre UNC-Asheville’s Aeschylus’ Oresteia have begun.

The chapter was organized last fall, and a National Charter was granted in April of last year at a Sectional Conference held here in Asheville. In its first year, the Brothers of Chi Kappa com piled several hundred man- hours of service, in projects de signed to serve both campus and community. Over the summer, the Frater nity held two picnics at Mills River and Mt. Pisgah, and organized plans for the Fall Semester at a week-end camp ing trip. A-Phi-O men were on campus during Orientation and Reg istration Days, answering questions and welcoming in coming freshman to the campus. There are twenty-two active Brothers in the Chapter, and a fall Pledge Rush is currently underway. ±n.ss±cl.e: New Draft Law Has Some Surprises see page 3 The Youth Vote: What does it mean? see page 4 Soccer Team Begins Season with New Coach see page 7 Sociology offers new Experimental Curriculum see page 6 Film and The Student see page 5
