Committee Gets
Judicial Proposal
BY HARVE HARRIS
A proposed amendment to the Student Constitution,
which would in effect abolish the Student Council and
juries for all honor councils, came near being passed in
Student Legislature Thursday night, but was returned
to committee.
The bill's sponsor, Davis Young (SP) stated that he
believed that the bill would be returned out of the Ways
and Means Committee favorably and would pass at the
next meeting of the Legislature.
Main opposition to the proposal came from former
Student Party representative
Jim Scott, who said that he fa
vored the retention of juries as
a means of acquainting the stu
dent body with the judicial sys
tem. Scott offered a counter pro
posal which would keep the
juries, but would allow a coun
cil to overrule a jury which had
rendered a decision they felt

schools.
to be obviously incorrect in re
gard to the evidence presented
in the case.
Before Young presented the
amendment, Student Body
President ' David Grigg ad
dressed the solons and urged
them to consider measures
which appeared in the proposal.
Grigg asked for consideration
on and the amendment includ
ed provisions for a Men's
Council and a Women's Council
to try all cases involving al
leged infraction of the Campus
Codes and Honor Codes for men
and women, respectively.
To replace the Student Coun
cil, a special body was pro
posed, to consist of not more
than seven members, (three
men, three women and the
chairman of which would be
the chairman of the Men's Coun
cil).
This special council would
handle cases involving alleged
election laws violations and
cases concerning constitution
ality, now handled by the Stu
dent Council.
A two-thirds majority of the
council members would be need
ed for conviction and for sus
pending a defendant found
guilty, under the new amend
ment.
Formerly, a conviction and
suspension could be obtained by
simple majority.
Grigg also recommended that
each council have 12-15 mem
bers, elected from geographical
ly apportioned districts. Since,
under Grigg's recommendation,
tonly eight or nine members sit
on any case, inner rotation
would be possible.
"Having geographical appor
tionment, inner rotation, and
part of the councils elected
twice a year for year terms, I
believe we will make it virtual
ly impossible for any small
group to gain control of the
council," Grigg said.
The "extra" members of the
councils would make possible
Young's proposal to allow a de
fendant to disqualify a member
of the council from sitting on
his case.
Such action would be ac
companied by a valid reason for
the disqualification subject to
the final authority of the Attor
ney General of the student body.

UNC Exchange Students For
Goettingen Program Chosen
Two UNC exchange students
to George-August Universitae
in Goettingen, Germany, "won't
find peanut butter and grits
there," but instead a year of
study and experiences.
Pete Range, Athens, Ga., a
sophomore majoring in history,
and Reg Brooker, Valdese, N.
O, a senior in pre-med, were
chosen Friday to attend the
university in Goettingen on a
year's full scholarship.
Al Kronenberg, junior, and
David Fraley, sophomore, were
named alternates.
Exchange students from Goct.-
tingen to UNC, Jan Braumann
and Ekhart Hefter, both special
students in political science,
helped in the selection.
"Only good things can be
said about the program," said
Braumann. "Appreciation of the
program is seen in the several
students from Goettingen who
have stayed at Carolina for
more than one year. In fact,
both students from last year's
program are still here."
Scholars in the program have
freedom in their choice of
studies, but they must follow
their education abroad with an
other year at their home school.
Both universities compare
favorably, according to Ekhart,

Use Of Securities
The question of what to do
with the interest on $5,000 worth
of United States securities in
vested in by idle Student Gov
ernment funds last year was
discussed in Thursday's Legis
lature meeting by Student Body
President David Grigg.
"We suggest that the $250 in
terest each year for the four
year duration of the bond be
placed in a Student Govern
ment Scholarship Fund," Grigg
said.
"This would be a total of
$1,200 over a four-year and 10
month period. Out of this fund
each year, $100 would be used
to increase the scholarship Stu
dent Government now gives to
$300 per year for 12 years."
Grigg commended the Inter
national Students' Board, say
ing that it "has made notable
progress this year."
A student exchange program
with a French university, simi
lar to the one currently in ef
fect between UNC and Goettin
gen university is tentative,
Grigg noted, saying that it was
an excellent project for three
reasons:
"First, we will be broadening
our own international under
standing and scope.
"Second, we will give our
University the opportunity to
have an outstanding French
student in our student com
munity. "Finally, and perhaps most
important, we will give one of
our students the opportunity to
travel and study, in France."
The production of an honor
system movie at Carolina was
also discussed by the president.
"For the past two years there
has been a great deal of inter
est in an honor system movie.
The idea is to produce a movie
which will be entertaining and
at the same time will get across
the fundamentals of our honor
system.
"Such a movie could be used
beneficially during orientation.
It will also be helpful to the
High ' School" Honor System
Commission as they discuss the
honor system in North Carolina
high schools.
"The production of such a
movie has my wholehearted

Grigg told the legislators that

important pieces of legislation
that you will face in any as

France May
'Smooth Over'
Jet Incident
PARIS (UPI) The French
government was expected to
day to try to smooth over the
international incident caused by
a French jet fighter's firing
across the path of a plane car
rying the Soviet president to
Africa.
Government officials with
held formal comment pending
thorough study of a Soviet pro
test against what Moscow called
a "bandit attack," but informed
observers said President Charles
de Gaulle undoubtedly would
attempt to prevent a deteriora
tion of relations over the inci
dent. The Soviet Union's - toughly
worded protest lodged Thurs
day charged that a French twin
engine jet had dived three
times dangerously close to a
Soviet four-engine . Ilyushin-18
prop-jet airliner carrying Presi
dent Leonid I. Brezhnev on a
state visit to Guinea.
The protest, handed to the
French, charge d'affaires, in Mos
cow, charged that the jet fired
twice across the airliner's path
Thursday afternoon over the
Mediterranean, about 80 miles
north of Algiers. The Ilyushin
was headed for Rabat, Morocco,
en route to Aguinea.
Plane Unharmed
The airliner apparently was
unharmed and continued to
Rabat where Brezhnev met with
King Mohammed V of Morocco.
The 54-year-old Soviet head of
state, whose tour of Guinea has
been regraded as heralding a
visit to -Africa later this year
by Premier Nikita S. Khrush
chev, refused to comment on the
incident.
The jet which challenged
Brezhnev's craft was part of
the zealous air and sea patrols
France maintains off the North
African coast to stop possible
clandestine arms shipments to
the Algerian Moslem rebels.
The watch on the Mediter
ranean has caused friction with
other nations whose ships have
been forced into Algerian ports
for searches.
Versions Differ
The Soviet protest claimed
the Ilyushin was attacked over
international waters despite ad
vance French knowledge of its
course, and the plane's radio
contact with Algiers prior to
the incident. The Soviets de
manded punishment for those
responsible for the incident.
ine rrencn version, given
out in Algiers by Jacques Coup
de Frejac, information director
of the French administration in
Algeria, said the Ilyushin "was
not on the international flight
plan" and was challenged be
cause it had entered a "zone of
French responsibility."
He said three French fight
ers rose to meet the airliner
after it was spotted on radar,
and a "warning burst" was
fired. The airliner did not reply
on the radio wave length used
for interplane communications,
he said, but veered off toward
the north, "leaving the zone of
French responsibility and was
not pursued."

Gov. Terry Sanford also ad
dressed the legislature Thurs
day. He called the biennium
budget "forward-looking," but
said he is "convinced this budg
et must be increased . . . par
ticularly in its provisions for
public education."
He promised the legislature
that he would "come before you
with additional recommenda
tions . . . within a short period
of time."
The budget, made up by for
mer Gov. Luther Hodges and
the Budget Commission appoint
ed by him, fell short of San
ford's overall education pro
gram ($106 million) by almost
$70 million.
It was recommended that
UNC be appropriated just
under seven million dollars for
capital improvements (which
include the student union).
This is approximately one-
third of the $14,771,000 request
ed by C.U. officers for Chapel
Hill.
About 30 per cent of the
capital improvements money
recommended for UNC would
come from a legislator's bond
issue (which does not require
the voting approval of the peo
ple) and the rest by a voter's
bond, to be voted upon by the
people.
The voter's bond would be
raised by a $47.5 million omni
bus bond issue, which would
include the money for the stu
dent union.
The student union, if ap
proved as recommended by the
Budget Commission, would be
five times the size of Graham
Memorial.
One-fifth of the union would
be used as an undergraduate
library.

What About
Faculty Pay?
There is some degree of un
certainty among Consolidated
University and UNC officers as
to exactly how the recomenda
tions of the Advisory Budget
Commission will affect faculty
salaries.
C. U. President William Fri
day was not available for com
ment yesterday and other C. U.
officers refused to make public
statements.
UNC Chancellor William Ay
cock also declined comment.
The C.U. asked for $3,632,003
to raise faculty salaries at its
three institutions UNC, WC,
and State.
Thursday in Raleigh the Bud
get Commission recommended
to the General Assembly that
$2,461,000 be appropriated, plus
$771,000 in individual college
receipts: this amounts to $333,-
000 less than the C.U. request
ed.
Another source of money for
the University is to be higher
tuition costs for students: $23
more per year for North Caro
lina students and $100 mors
per year for out-of -staters.
This is supposed to amount
to $1,525,000 during the bienni
um. Each school would keep its
own receipts.
During the fall semester over
30 per cent of UNC's 8600 stu
dents were from out of state.
Therefore Carolina would be
getting a greater percentage of
the one-and-a-half million dol
lars than the smaller, less cos
