49’ers win first four games
Rash hopes
to talk to
students
by Claudia finkenaiir
“I believe in students..they have real potential” was the comment of
James Dennis Rash, the newly appointed Dean of Students.
The unconventional dean doesn’t have two heads, a bull whip in the
corner of his office or remind you of your father. In fact, he looks
more like a big brother or best friend; he’s involved with life and
excited about his job.
He left his job of corporate lawyer with the firm of Moore and Van
Allen because he said, “education is where the action is.” He said that'
the peace movement and “the birth pangs of ecoloby” grew from
campus life.
Although Rash has met with student leaders, he feels that this isn’t
enough. He said that he wanted to get together with students-not in
mass meetings-but more on a personal basis. He stressed the fact that
he didn’t want to just drop in on students and “snoop,” but he’d like to
plan visits with them and discuss whatever concerns them. He doesn’t
suppose that what concerns the student leaders concerns everyone He
reels that all students need to be heard.
Rash says that his main job will
be to help the students and the
administration get along better.
As far as discipline goes, he wants
to “hopefully come to general
principles.”
Being a dean is an experience,
“It’s fun and exciting, nut dull. I
found that out in the first three
hours.” says Dean Rash. He
explained that he enjoys working
with interesting people and the
university community was a good
place to find them. The university
is more vibrant than most because
the whole community is involved.
It’s a great feeling.” He continued,
“I think you get caught up with
ideas and an ideal...you come
because of the challenge...it helps
you grow intellectually and
spiritually,” were only a few of
Rash’s reactions to his
appointment. “When you find life
is purposeful you move closer
down the road.” Rash feels that
being dean is a “giant step down
the road to it.”

“The foundations were laid
for the SGA and Theta Psi to
jointly open a book
exchange...”
“The Student Broadcasting
Association asked the
legislature for S600...”
“The legislature approved a
resolution passed by the
Junior Class on December 3,
and now under consideration
by the Athletic Committee.”

‘Foundations laid for book
exchange, on page 4.

Housing act
Rash isn’t the only one who is
happy about his position. His wife
is very glad about it and friends
have called and written
congratulating him on what he
referred to as his “suppressed
desire.”
At the moment Dean Rash is in
the process of orientation. “You’d
be surprised how much a dean has
to learn,” he said.
Within a couple of months.
Rash hopes to be getting into the
class room. There he expects to
teach business law or business
administration.

During the week of November
16-20, residents of the two halls
voted on the Housing Act, the
purpose of which is three-fold; to
organize a governmental structure
within the residence halls; to
provide for the establishment of
House officers (a House consists
of the residents of two floors that
sliare a common lounge) and a
Residence Hall Council; and to set
forth procedures to be followed
by the halls concerning visitation.
According to the Housing Act,
each House may set up its own
time limitations, rules, and
regulations concerning visitation,
as provided for in and subject to
the restrictions of the Uniform
Visitation Policy of the
Consolidated University of North
Carolina.
The Uniform Visitation Policy
limits the hours for visitation to
12 noon to 1;00 a.m., Sunday
through Thursday, and 12 noon
to 2:00 a.m., Friday and
Saturday.
Under the University-wide
policy, all doors to rooms being
used for visitation shall remain
ajar. In addition, each campus
shall adopt management
procedures, including provisions
for the action to be taken if the
visitation policy is violated in any
way.
The legislative section of the
act sets the quorum for an Official
House Meeting at two-thirds of
the residents of the House.
Additions to or changes in House
rules, provided that they do not
require uniform enforcement
