Clotfelter,
Improvements
Badly Needed,
Aspirant Says
'Ernest . Stepp declared himself a
candidate for editor of the DTH
Tuesday by challenging Chuck
Wrye and Jim Clotfelter in a per
sonal letter to an open debate on
policies and plans for the TAR
HEEL.
Stepp, approved by the Publica
tions Board and running as an In
dependent, said that his opponents
would turn out the same biased, un
interesting paper now being issued.
"All the majority of the student
body now does with the DTH is
read 'Peanuts' and work the cross
work puzzle," the editorial candi
date declared.
Staff Reorganization
He said that the DTH- needs a
major staff reorganization. Stepp
cited plans to expand the present
DTH staff to 50 members. Includ
ed in this expansion is an editorial
staff of 15 members, containing
various political and local views.
Included on this staff would be a
member representing each politi
cal party, the IDC, YDC, YRC,
IFC and other important campus
groups.
Stepp said that each writer
should receive a byline for any
story written by a student regard
less of its length. The news staff of
the DTH needs careful supervision
and more students need to work on
the DTH, he stated.
"When people try to work for the
Tar Heel, they get the run-around
and finally quit trying" Stepp de
clared. To solve this problem,
Stepp plans to put an apprentcie
program in the Tar Heel staff or
" ganizaiiohT AS' new staff person
nel would serve time as appren
tices to learn basic Tar Heel opera
tions. "Using this program, the paper
can depend less on the UPI and
more on campus news." Stepp la
beled the present Tar Heel as "a
miserable failure as a campus
newspaper."
Stepp discounted his opponents'
ideas about an "outspoken" editor
ial page. He pointed out that his
15 man editorial staff would pre
sent a variety of different view
points within itself. He termed the
present page as "uninteresting, un
fair and radical."
Candidate Stepp is a first semes
ter senior in Journalism from Can
ton, but plans to remain in school
for two more semesters. He is a
member of the Press Club, AF
ROTC, and Pi Kappa Phi social
fraternity.
Stepp started his journalism
career editing the sports page of
a small weekly newspaper at the
age of 17. Last summer, he work
ed as a newsman, photographer,
and feature writer for the Waynes
ville Mountaineer, averaging work
ing a fifty-hour week. He has also
worked as a newsman for WWIT
radio, the Canton Enterprise, Ihe
Technique (Ga. Tech newspaper)
and Bluets. '(Asheville-Biltmore
Junior College literary .magazine.)
Stepps has done some news and
sports work for the DTH. He has

Stepp
To Debate DTH Polieies
Jim,
. Let's get this TAR HEEL editorship out in the open. I feel that
we both agree that a good fight for the editorship will create more in
terest in the TAR HEEL, regardless of who wins.
Because the Carolina student body needs to know how we both
feel on certain issues, I would like to challenge you to debate these
issues in front of the general student body at your convenience. I feel
that this debate should be open to anyone wishing to attend. Pos
sibly, the Di-Phi would sponsor such a move.
I leave the decision to you.
I would also like to assure you and Chuck that regardless of how
heavy the campaign gets, I have nothing personal against either of
you. Newspapermen have thick skin.
All three of us are sincere in wanting a better DTH, but may dis
agree on how to achieve these goals.

Clotfelter 'Always Willing'
"We have always been willing to debate any opponent at any mutually-convenient
time and place," said Wrye and Clotfelter yesterday.
"We would be happy to debate Stepp." .

To Establish
Beat System
Measures to increase the size of
the Daily Tar Heel news staff and
to "make its work more complete
and efficient" were proposed yes
t e r d a y by co-editor candidates
Chuck Wrye and Jim Clotfelter.
Former asst. sports editor Wrye
and former news editor Clotfelter
have ben endorsed by the Publica
tions Board and the Student Party.
They said they would add a full
time copy editor to the news staff
"The copy editor would read, write
and rewrite copy, freeing the news
editor to work with hews sources
and reporters," they said.
More Accurate
iBy the addition of a copy editor,
the candidates said, "Tar Heel
readers will get a more complete
and more accurate newspaper.'
. The candidates . said they would
try to get a "stringer" in every
dormitory, fraternity and sorority,
and University school and depart
ment. The "stringer" would be a
person responsible for reporting
to the DTH the activities of his
area," they said.
Under their proposed "beat
system", said Wrye and Clotfelter,
reporters would be regularly as
signed to the most important areas
of the campus, such as Student
Legislature and the Office of Stu
dent Affairs.
Larger Staff
The candidates said they would
work to recruit additional staff
workers. "Because two people will
hold the editor's position, we will
have more time to devote to the
staff," they said.
Wrye and Clotfelter said they
would establish "an associative
system with other North Carolina.
Southern and major national col
lege newspapers,' for the rapid ex
change of student-interest stories
by phone or telegram.
Other daily college newspapers
have such a setup already, they
said.
Entertainment i
The candidates also said they
would add a regular entertainment
column to the DTH, to include TV,
movie, concert, lecture and theater
events in the Chapel Hill-Raleigh-Durham
area.
Wyre and Clotfelter stated they
would also add a weekly feature by
cartoonist Jules Feiffer, who is
carried in Playboy magazine, the
Village Voice, and many college
newspapers.
"If these measures to bolster the
staff and expand the scope of news
coverage arc successful," they
said, "we would be in a better po
sition to publish more six-page pa
pers per week."
They said they hoped to be able
to print two six-pagers each week,
instead of the present one.

McDevitt Outlay
Ruled As A Part
Of Campaign Cost
Council Decision
Supports Patterson
By CLYDE WILSON
The Constitutional Council yes
terday ruled that expenses incur
red by UP vice-presidential candi
date Larry McDevitt before he
was an official candidate were part
of. his $25 campaign expense limit
The Council's decision reversed s
March 8 decision of the Elections
Board.
Prior to the decision McDevitt
announced that he planned to in
clude the expenses in his limit
whether the Council ruled in his
favor or not because he felt his
integrity had come into question
He did not wish to be elected, he
stated, under any suspicion of lack
r of ; fairness, even "on the part of
a minority of the student body.
- Two Appeals
The Council ruling resulted from
two appeals from an Elections
Board decision that cards passed
out by McDevitt before he was
nominated by the UP convention
were not expenses under the elec
tion laws.
An appeal was made by Mc
Devitt, wishing to clarify his posi
tion, and another by student gov
ernment vice-president Hank Pat
terson, an SP member.
The Council decided that the in
tent of the law required that such
expenses should be part of cam
paign expense.
The Elections Board based its
decision on the election laws de
finition of a "candidate" as quali
fied by "P arty nomination, en
dorsement, Board selection or pe
tition.
30 Day Limit
McDevitt said he was initially in
formed by members of the Elec
tions Board that the cards distri
buted saying he was a "candidate
for vice-president" and seeking
student ideas would not be a part
of campaign expenses if they were
distributed more than 30 days be
fore the election.
Elections Board chairman David
Buxton said this was1 a common
misconception, which he shared, of
the election laws. The 30 day limiv
applies to parties and not to can
didates. Further investigation led Mc
Devitt and Patterson to appeal to
the Elections Board for a decision.
Both said that they regretted that
what should have been an adminis
trative matter had been magnified
into a campaign issue.
First Decision Invalid
A Friday decision by the Coun
cil upholding the Election Board
ruling was invalidated when it was
found that the constitution requir
ed all seven members of the Coun
cil to be present.

Students
In Train
By Richard Burns
Two UNC student debaters were
among four men arrested in a
Raleigh train station Sunday and
charged with participating in an
affray.
The students, Reuben Moore, a
junior, and Charles Heatherly, a
sophomore, were returning from a
debating match in New York City.
The other two men were Carey
Newton Castleberry Jr., 31, and
Russell Lawrence Bowling, 23, both
of Sanford.
According to Heatherly, the
trouble began en route from New
York to Raleigh when another UNC
student, a Negro, and Moore en
countered abusive language in the
club car of the train.
The remarks were made, Heath
erly said, because of resentment
towards the Negro's presence in
the club car.
He said that the fighting started
when they arrived in the Raleigh
station but the Negro was not in
volved except to "pull us apart."
The students suffered cuts and
bruises when Moore was knocked
down and Heatherly went to get
some of the men off him, Heather
ly added.
He said that when he got up,
there were several men scuffling
around him and that he ran to
draw some of the men away from
Moore.
By this time. Dr. Donald Spring
en, also of UNC, brought Detective
tifying. Call Dick Hilt, 313 Con-
nor, phone 968-9154.

Independent presidential candid

to include him in a debate planned

Phelps said that he talked with

Wheless issued a challenge yes

Non-Campus Issues
"Is it that the SP and UP don't

Phelps and vice-presidential can

"The whole purpose of student
