The July 12 ruling established 12-month "grace periods" during which certain students might continue to pay tuition at in state rates even though technically they did not qualify as North Carolinians. It would apply primarily to women who are state residents but could lost that status by marrying non-residents, and to any student whose parents move out of the state. Associate Dean of the Graduate School Barbara Wasik said Thursday she thought the Board of Governors may have; overstepped its authority by ruling on legal matters determined by the General Assembly and the state attorney general. "We understand the legislature amended the residence rule last spring to set up grace periods," Wasik said. "But we haven't been able to implement the new rule, pending an interpretation by the attorney general. "I've read reports of last week's Board of Governors' action, but I don't know what it means. I was under the impression that the Board is not empowered to change law." In-state residents pay much less tuition than out-of-state students, about $242 in academic year 1973-74, as opposed to $1,800 for non-residents. In addition, applicants from North Carolina receive preferential admission as undergraduates and in some professional schools. University spokesmen express confusion about exactly which students can qualify for the new "grace period." They also say they have not yet determined what happens to students tuition status after the 12 months. Part of the confusion results from an apparent conflict between North Carolina ace by Sandra Millers Staff Writer Legal questions raised last week by James C. Wallace, former Chapel Hill alderman, have added to the complexity surrounding the sale of four University-owned utilities. During an emergency session of the Orange County Board of Commissioners last Friday night, Wallace asked the board members to request the opinion of the state Attorney General's office concerning the legality of the county's co-operation with the Consumers Utilities Corporation, a local, non-profit corporation formed specifically to bid for the utilities. The Consumers Corporation has received appropriations from the county, Chapel Hill and Carrboro in the past, and was recently granted a request for an additional $50,000 Plans for by Jennifer Woods Staff Writer Plans for a new Student Health Service (SHS) facility were criticized Tuesday in a memorandum from SHS Intern Martha Diefendorf. She explained that the UNC Planning Committee (UPC), in charge of planning the new infirmary, does not have sufficient statistics or detailed policy statements from SHS to properly begin building the new structure. The new facility has been in the planning phase for several months under the UPC and department heads of SHS.

Until July, 1973, students who were not legal residents of North Carolina when they first enrolled at UNC could not change their residence status without dropping out of school for a year. Legislation implemented then allowed students to petition their deans for reclassification. . Since then, the Undergraduate Admissions Office has received 1,208 petitions for reclassification and has granted in-state status to 881 petitioners.

Wallace questioned the authority of the local governments to contribute to utilities systems and to create a non-profit corporation through funding. He said government funding might cause Consumers Utilities Corporation to be considered an organ of the local governments and consequently legally unable to sell bonds for purchasing the utilities. The commissioners voted unanimously to refer the questions to the county and city attorneys for study and tentatively agreed to appeal to the attorney general's office if any confusion over the questions remains after July 22. , Wallace's questions were presented to the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen Monday night, and he also plans to petition the new health tentatively plans to locate the building within the hospital complex at the south end of the Bell Tower parking lot. It will occupy an estimated 50,000 square feet. Rachael Long of the UPC said that the designing stage will take between twelve and eighteen months after which construction could begin. The building is scheduled to be completed about 2 years later. The UPC intends to incorporate major changes in the system. They will inculde a reorganization of the outpatient section into modules or groups of personnel-physicians, nurse practitioners and secretaries, who will work together in close communication. Wilson endorses Galifianakis RALEIGH Henry Hall Wilson, who came In third to Robert Morgan in the Democratic Senate primary In May, has endorsed runnerup Nick Galifianakis for the Democratic nomination to succeed Morgan as attorney general. : Wilson, In a press conference Thursday, said each of the announced candidates for the Democratic attorney general nomination have some qualifications for the position. "None have them all," he said. "I think Nick Galifianakis does have them ail." The Democratic and Republican Party executive committees will nominate candidates for attorney general later this summer. Vilson said he supported Galifianakis, a three-term former Congressman end the party's 1S72 Senate nominee, because he wanted to see a strong' Democratic ticket this fail.

Chapel Hill attorney Joe Hackney spoke Monday for Wallace, who was out of town on vacation. Chapel Hill Alderman Gerry Cohen said the Board considered the questions to be the same issues raised two years ago when the Consumers Utilities Corporation was formed. "Those questions were investigated and answered to our satisfaction at that time," he said. John McKee, president of Consumers Utilities Corporation, has answered Wallace's queries, maintaining that the corporation , is not an organ of the local governments, but a private, nonprofit corporation. McKee said money appropriated to Consumers by the towns would be repaid when the corporation begins operating the center criticized Pharmacy services and specialty clinics will be added. Health education, mental health, and inpatient sections will be expanded. Diefendorf s objection to the program is that the Planning Office does not have enough data, proper information or grounds on which to judge the plans already made.

The petition process allows students to request reclassification as state residents if they feel other evidence concerning their stay in North Carolin outweighs the presumption that they live in the same state as their parents. Students must have lived in North Carolina for at least 1 1 months before they are eligible to file petitions with their deans. "We can't advise students on how to become residents," Devine said Thursday. Some of the evidence considered in determining in-state status includes: property ownership, place of motor vehicle and voter registration, payment of state taxes, source of financial support, places where vacations are spent and reasons for first coming to North Carolina. . Safeway policy changes; no repricing shelved items by Fay Mitchell Staff Writer Grocery prices are going up so frequently these days-that the price of an item will often increase several times between the time it is put on the shelf and sold. . The policy of most grocery stores is to reprice items on the shelves to reflect price increases, even though the shelf items were originally purchased at lower wholesale rates. Safeway Stores Inc., the nation's largest supermarket chain, announced Wednesday it would no longer follow this price increase policy. When the price of an item increases, Safeway said it will sell previously purchased items at the old, lower price. Safeway has 1,950 stores nationwide. sale utitites and added that current investigation of the utilites sale by the assistant attorney general of North Carolina, I.

She explained during the July 1 1 meeting of the Campus Governing Council that despite these changes, many other possible changes have been overlooked. She raised questions such as: How well are student needs being met by the SHS? Are the staffing patterns newly recommended (four physicians to one nurse practitioner) the most effective? From where will the facilities funds come? Diefendorf stressed the need for further information before plans are implemented.

For more The National Association of Food Chains, representing 20,000 grocery stores across the nation, called Safeway's action a "gutsy move" which will probably force competitors to follow suit. So far, no Chapel Hill grocery stores have followed Safeway's example, and none have expressed any intention of doing so in the future. Ronald Kelly, the manager of the Franklin St. A&P, said he was not authorized to speak for his chain, but offered a personal opinion. "Having different prices on the shelves would cause a lot of confusion," he said. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see." "It's always been our practice to raise the prices of in-stock items, including what's in stock on the shelves," the manager of Big Star said. "When we leave old prices on the shelves with new ones, we have the biggest headache with customers wanting both items at the lower price." Random questioning of local grocery shoppers showed most were dissatisfied with the re-pricing policy. "I think it's unfair," one shopper said. "Maybe it would be confusing for a while, but people would get used to it quickly. I would rather be confused than overcharged."

Wrnn that about 20 per cent of the store's shelf items had been repriced. One item, a box of Reese's Buttercups had five different price tags, ranging from 63 to 92 cents. A representative of Byrd's said his store has been doing what Safeway proposes all along. "As grocery prices go down, we mark shelf items down," he said. "But, if the price goes up we sell the shelf items at the old price." "I can only give my personal opinion," Larry Bartholemew, manager of Winn Dixie, said. "In the past we have raised shelf prices as new prices came in, just like all the rest of the stores. Beyond that I wouldn't lave any comment." "Some prices I change, some 1 don't," said Paul Tripp, owner of Paul Tripp's grocery. "Generally, whenever a new price comes in, that's when I change shelf prices." "Being small, we may have only two or three items left on the shelf when new prices come in, so we change to one price on the shelf," Bill Woods of Woods Community Grocery said. "It's not like a large supermarket where two or three cases might be left." "We're too small to express an opinion," James Hcarn of Hearn's Grocery said. "If I'm intending to stay in business and health and pay the University's electricity bill, I have to raise the prices." Jl have often turned out to be grossly conservative. Last fall's freshman enrollment was 3,226, several hundred more than was estimated in July of that year. General College adviser Dr. Donald Jicha said 3,000 freshmen are now enrolled in General College for fall. He added that "this is not a final figure but enrollment is a bit down." Freshmen enrollment in the General College for fall, 1973 was 3,150. Jicha said 1973 enrollment had originally been projected at 2,950. Of this enrollment, 626 freshmen were out-of-state. "We are sending out 3,025 preregistration booklets," Alan Smith, assistant dean of Student Life, said. "There should be about 929 transfer students in addition to this, mostly juniors." University Housing expects 2,900 freshmen to be quartered on campus. Connie Nelson, assistant Housing director, said "this figure should be accurate to within 50 students." Nelson said this projection is slightly less than last year's figure. "Right now we're over 2,900," she added. "A figure of 3,100 would exceed the number of spaces available." The Convention will elect three delegates 'to the Democratic Charter Convention scheduled in December. They will also elect a District Chairman, a member of the Democratic Judicial Council of Review, and several state officers.
