M.

The North Carolina Utilities Commission Thursday upheld the firm's right to raise prices to reflect rising coal costs by rejecting a challenge from the Attorney General, the State Textile Manufacturers Association, the R.J.

Winery has. apparently singled, out Chapel Hill this week for a media attack on the United Farm Workers Union (UFW), which supports a boycott of non-union grape products, including Gallo wines. . Radio station WCHL was selected by visiting Gallo representatives from Atlanta, who approached the station's newsman Dick" Broom with a story about UFW organizers from California infiltrating Chapel Hill . to stir up students. The story urged area residents to think about North Carolina migrant farm workers, "not those in California 3,000 miles away."

All 21 committee Democrats were expected to vote for impeachment. Nixon and his strategists had hoped to contain GOP and conservative Southern Democratic losses to a minimum, partly to discourage defections from the same bloc in the event impeachment goes to the House, floor. While Butler was previously known to have been leaning toward impeachment, Froehlich was a surprise. He once had questioned whether the evidence supported impeachment on any grounds, but he shifted pushing Gallo products, about to start a big promotional effort, and want to prevent a boycott," local UFW organizer Kathy MacBeth said Thursday. Boycotts of Gallo wines in other areas of the country have met with varying success. "A lot of what they said to WCHL, such as the line about California infiltrators in Chapel Hill, is just not true " she added. WCHL aired MacBeth's rebuttal Wednesday after she contacted the station about the Gallo broadcasts. Her statement said in part, "I wouldn't be surprised if we'll soon be hearing about all sorts, of special sales on Gallo Thursday by disclosing he was "deeply pained and troubled by some of the things 1 see." The ' freshman congressman mentioned cover-up conversations, hush money, leaks of confidential investigative information, to prospective criminal defendants, and missing or undelivered tapes. "I am concerned about impeaching my President for this action7," Froehlich said. "My decision awaitsthe final wording of the articles that will come before the committee." ..'

Other witnesses . before the Senate Permanent Subcommitee. on Investigations have testified that teenagers at the Green . Valley School, of Orange City, Florida were hand-cuffed together, subjected to electro-shock therapy, struck by staff members and indiscriminately injected with urine and large doses of vitamins. "There's nothing more dangerous than making a psychiatric diagnosis on someone you don't know, but. I think it's fairly clear that Mr. George Von Hilsheimer thought of himself as the saviour of these kids," Lipton told reporters Thursday. Von Hilsheimer, who holds a bachelor's degree in political science and is a self ordained minister, founded the school and was its. president until last January. .

Thursday that two Gallo executives from the company's Atlanta regional office walked into the station and offered him the story about the UFW. He said they declined to be interviewed on the air, telling him they didn't want to make a big issue of the story. "They said they were contacting all the media in the area," Broom said. "But they didn't go to the Chapel Hill Newspaper and they didn't go to the The Tar Heel, and I haven't heard that they went to anybody else at all."

The hearings are focusing on two schools, the Green Valley School and another in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Both are part, of the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS).

When contacted Monday, however, Chairman of the Morehead Board of Trustees Hugh Chatham maintained that the reasons behind this week's unanimous decision vhich changes 21 years of Morehead tradition were "the same ones we've been considering all along." semesteff basis of the priority system established by the CGC, Locke said. He said only rising sophomores have had their applications turned down. The north campus student zone, N-4, had 365 spaces available for sale and 320 of these have been sold. Thirty-seven applications for zone N-4 were turned down. Zone N-4 will have 1 5 per cent of its spaces reserved until students arrive for the fall semester, as will the other student zones, S-4 and S-5. These spaces will then be assigned to special or hardship cases, or the handicapped, Locke said. The 15 per cent figure was chosen by CGC. South campus student zone S-4 has filled 910 spaces and no one has yet had his application for S-4 refused. In zone S-5, also on south campus, 446 applications have been accepted and 37 rejected. The rejected applications were from dorm-resident rising sophomores, Locke said. No north campus, spaces are being assigned to commuting students, according to Locke, while the south campus zones are being divided among dorm residents and . commuters. Locke said all but about 200 University . employes had been assigned permits, adding that many had applied for already crowded areas. He added, however, that spaces were still available in outlying areas, such as the old Blue Cross building on Franklin St. Spaces were not sold for the Union parking lot, which can hold 425 cars, because of the anticipated construction of the new dramatic arts building on the site which is scheduled to begin in September. Locke said, however, the lot will be used in some way until construction does begin, although he could not say who would be able to park there. It could possibly be made available to P-permit (fringe lot permit) holders during the interim. actual articles of impeachment.. The first votes were not expected until Friday. Butler, speaking rapidly, his eyebrows arched behind horn-rimmed glasses, declared: "There are frightening implications for the future of pur country if 'we do not impeach the President of the United States." . Other Republicans who spoke Thursday complained the evidence clearly was inadequate. But' they failed to budge hard line Democrats who demanded Nixon's impeachment, conviction and removal from office.

That would eliminate the scandal," Lipton said. "But . the Subcommittee is vigorously opposed to any limit of the program. They just want to get rid of the lemons. "With national health insurance expected to be enacted within the next five years, the question posed by this incident is very important: How can the government involve itself in medicine on a .large scale and- still maintain quality? "Von H ilsheimer had the idea that kids are crazy because they are allergic. So in order to get the allergy out of their system he would put them in solitary confinement on a diet of water for up to two weeks." Von Hilsheimer maintains' that the confinement was therapeutic, but former nurses at the school have testified that the teenagers were locked up as a punishment. Former employes have also testified that the school's buildings were squalid and infested with roaches and other insects, and that medical treatment was prescribed regardless of the children's mental problems. "There was one boy who attempted suicide by injecting lighter fluid into his "We think the times have changed considerably and that now it's the proper thing to do," Chatham said. Director Pritchett said Monday the trustees considered, but decided against, removing the sex discriminatory stipulation a year ago. No further action was taken by the Board until their decision to re-evaluate the issue this summer. Pulley affirmed Tuesday the trustees were aware of possible legal action. He said the case would have challenged the scholarship stipulation on the basis of discrimination by sex. New drama buildin Construction bids on the new Dept.. of Dramatic Arts building and Paul Green Theater are out now and will be received August 8, John Temple, assistant vice chancellor of business, said Wednesday. Temple said if the bids are within the amount budgeted for the $12 million building, construction could begin by September I. The building will occupy what is now the Union, parking lot, with a capacity of 425 cars, but. Temple said, the spaces in the Union lot were not sold for next year, although the lot will be available for permit holders until construction begins. Center for. imei A General Information and. Assistance center for new students particularly those with no housing for fall semester is being established for the first time this year by the Division of Student Affairs and the Department of University Housing. " Associate Dean for Student Life Frederic Schroeder Jr., coordinator or the program, said the center is designed for those who cannot find a place to live in Chapel Hill until the semester begin. "Once they're here" he said, u we can give them concrete suggestions on how to look for something permanent." The center is to be housed in a trailer parked behind Carr Building and will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday Aug. 5-31. Assistant Dean for Student Life Roslyn Hartmann said a member of the housing staff would be in the trailer at all times to answer questions about up-to-date dorm vacancies and cancellations.

Clawson issued a statement saying Thursday's debate yielded many generalities but nothing of substance that could be called hard evidence of.an impeachable offense: "The television's cameras showed much anguish but none, it seemed, for factual, evidence," Clawson said.

"The staff decided he should find out how it felt to really be dead. They pronounced him morally dead, held a funeral and made him lie outside in a grave all night." Past attempts to bring suit against the Morehead Foundation have been thwarted by its status as a private organization. As such, it is immune from legal action under the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law. But according to Pulley, the Foundation could run the risk of losing its tax exempt status in a sex discrimination suit. Miriam Slifkin, president of the Chapel Hill chapter of the National Organization of Women, expressed pleasure with trTe trustees' final decision on the matter. Temple said there was a chance the lot might be open until October, should the contractor take that long to get started. "There have been substantial delays in this project all along related to the design," Temple said. Some facets of the design had proved more difficult than, the .architects had originally anticipated, he said, adding that he was not aware of any delays on the part of the University. Once bids were received, he said, the University had to get state approval to release contracts to the successful bidders, a process that usually takes three to four weeks. vacancies in the apartment complexes and apartment costs, and maps of the bus routes.' she added.- Aside from housing assistance.
