The Smith's Largest College Xeuspaper Volume 74, Number 72 CHAPEL HILL NORTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 5. 1966 Founded February 23, 1893. Thieving By MIKE WILLIAMS Special to the DTH "It's $4,000 a year straight out of my pocket!" This is how Wally Kuralt, proprietor, describes shop lifting at the Intimate Book shop. "And that's just what the books cost us if you figure the retail price we lose about $7,000 a year." Why do people steal books? "I don't know," confesses Kuralt. "Usually it's not be cause they need the books or can't afford them. Some times they even pay for one book and try to steal anoth er at the same time. They seem to think it is kind of a sport." "They" are mostly UNC students. Usually two or three of them work togeth er. One man blocks off the view while the other stuffs a book under his coat. Some times a third stands look out." They steal anything from 15c paperbacks to $20 art books. But Kuralt respects UNC students in general. "By and large, students are scrupu lously honest," he empha sizes. "There really aren't many bad ones, and we think we've spotted most of them by now." The Intimate does not use many of the preventive tv-i x sua. xreaKie Butcher, Baker or Broom Pusher? We haven't been back but two days and all ready the rumors are flying high and wide concerning the permanent replacement of Chancellor Sharp. As our friend Jim Smith says, "We knew all along Dr. Sitterson was most likely to succeed." But "they" say he is only temporary. That doesn't seem to bother most students. They all have the inside scoop on who will be the next dope, er chancellor. Some say Charlie Justice, Chief Beaumont, Hugh Lefler and the janitor out in Craige have the best shot at the title. Coach Jim Hickey is rated a dark horse. Others feel a moderating influence outside the Uni versity will be brought in Barry Goldwater or Tom White? Look Better, Feel Better, Labor Less Physical therapists at N. C. Memorial Hospital ad vise taking exercises while pregnant to help you look better, feel better and even deliver your baby better. The hospital's own exercise program particularly deals with sway backs and over-stretched stomach muscles. "A prepared patient is a relaxed patient in the labor room," one doctor says. "We want the exercises to become a habit early (in pregnancy)," a physical therapist explained. The exercises are said to improve your figure. But how can you improve a pregnant figure? Roth Receives Burlington Award Congratulations to Benjamin Sterling Roth. The Charlotte junior was recently awarded a $500 Burling ton Industries Scholarship. Roth, an accounting major, has been a MRC rep resentative and a treasurer of his dorm. He is also active in other areas of student government. He plans to be a certified public accountant. The award is given annually to a junior who holds it until he is graduated. Burlington Industries provides two $500 scholarships and gives an extra $1,000 to the Student Aid office for other purposes. The recipient must be a business administration major with a good background in his field and have a definite financial need. Braxton Earl Barret Jr. is the current senior holder of the scholarship. A Busy Line And Zany Conversation The telephone lines between the Chapel Hill and Greensboro campuses are some of the busiest in the world, but they seldom carry a conversation like this recent one: "Hi, watcha doin'?" "Oh, just studying my anatomy." "WHAT!?" "Reading an assignment in my anatomy book." "Oh." Students Think Game measures employed by other don't use mirrors or hidden stores.

Singletary, who returned Jan 1 to UNC-G as Chancellor, told the Daily Tar Heel yesterday that his return to Greensboro "has absolutely no connection with the resig nation of Paul F. Sharp." "I have not been approach ed by anyone and that's, that," he said. President William Friday said the committee which will select a new Chancellor for the Chapel Hill branch of the University has not as yet been chosen.

At times it took al most an hour to get through the line at the Carmichael Auditorium ticket windows, only to find out that there were no more date tickets available. If you haven't gotten your tickets jet, forget it; tickets for the Duke game sold out at 3:40 p.m. yesterday. DTH Photo By Ernest Robl. A 'Sport' I The worst time of day for x shoplifting is right before a movie, Kuralt says, when the store is crowded and employees are all busy with customers. The worst time of year is the Christ mas season. "Usually, without really trying, we catch one or two people a week trying to steal books. But the first week of December we caught about a dozen. We've had to put a plain - clothes Pinkerton man in the store. It cost quite a bit, but it has been worth it." What happens to students caught trying tot steal books? "WTe have never yet pros ecuted shoplifters. I hate to prosecute a college student. Once he has a conviction for theft on his record, just one little thing like a book, he will have a hard time get ting a job. Employers will not trust him. It would be awfully hard on a student if we prosecuted. "We have a pretty fair idea who most of the actu al or potential shoplifters are, though. We watch them when they come in, and if we catch one stealing, we make him sign a statement telling what he has done. Then we ask him to leave and stay out of the Inti mate." Singletary took a year's leave of absence to become director of the Job Corps in Washington. Last September he began looking for a re placement so that he could return to Greensboro. He was originally sched uled to return Feb. 1, but a replacement was found and he returned Jan. 1. Commenting on academic freedom in a state - supported university, Singletary said, "The most ideal climate for academic freedom does not exist in a (state-supported) university system. A state in stitution has more direct pres sure on it than does a pri vate institution." "The problem for a thought ful person in charge of a pub licly supported institution is that sometimes people without standing and without knowl edge are in a position to in fluence it adversely." However, Singletary said "the University of North Car olina has been one of the free est institutions in this region." Immediately after arriving in Greensboro, Singletary ap pointed Dr. James S. Fergu son as vice chancellor. Fer guson had been acting chan cellor during Singletary's leave of absence. The position of vice chan cellor was created last week by the trustees of the Univer sity. Ferguson obtained h i s Ph.D. degree at the Univer sity of North Carolina in 1953. He was a Yale University Ford Scholar in 1952-53. Legality Of S.G.

Look for a soaked freshman when the Chapel Hill monsoons hit this spring. DTH Photo by Ernest Robl More High Rise Dorms, Construction Head Says By MARY JO HESTER Special to the DTH "College facilities are no longer a case of being the lit tle red schoolhouse," said A. S. Waters, University director of construction and engineer ing in a recent interview. "It amazes people to think that a little place like Chapel Hill can stand so much con struction," Waters continued. "But it's not unusual for the University to be growing. Un iversities over the nation are expanding at a rapid rate." The ever - increasing influx of students each fall demands more space and more build ings, leaving the school's Cap ital Improvement Commission' with greater tasks each year. The school's enrollment pre sently stands at 12,419, nearly double the 6,575 enrollment of ten years ago. "Our needs always exceed the available funds," explain ed UNC business manager J. A. Branch, "We never get all that we need." The latest campus building boom began, in 1961 when Ehringhaus and Craige Dorm itories and the Medical Sci ence Research Facilities, three large projects, were begun. There will be a tremendous upsurge of construction during the next three years, accord ing to WTaters. Since 1963 the University has completed buildings valued at $15 million. And on the draw ing boards are projects alrea dy funded totalling $46,500,000. UNC buildings now total 4, 630,000 square feet. Now un der construction are some 123, 000 square feet of university buildings. Projecting to the year 1971, Waters suggests that campus facilities will include another 2.3 million square feet, appro ximately one - half of the to tal existing square feet today. "Beyond this, we don't have a specific number of square feet, but it appears that there will be further expansion at about the same rate," direc tor Waters explained. The majority of the univer sity property is not within the Chapel Hill city limits. The airport and University Lake are both University - owned but located outside the city limits. The extreme south end of the campus from near the new men's dorms to Mason Farm is not within the city. The main campus is built on 460 acres. I .-i A - ft.' t . V J i . . - The most recent land acquis ition is a tract southeast of Chase Cafeteria, nearthepro ry. The newly acquired land is to be a parking lot and playing field south of the new James Dorm. Waters cited the bulk of the University expansion recently has been dormitories. "But," he stressed, "we're moving in to a good cross - section of construction. The temporary buildings have been slowly disappearing over the past eight years, ac cording to business manager Branch. Built in 1946 to ac commodate the influx of G.I. students, these wooden struc tures will eventually all give away to modern, up - to - date buildings. Three temporary buildings south of Hill Building were de molished when Hill was built. There were several temporary buildings in the area of the Institute of Government, as well as the area of Dey Hall and Wilson Library all McCallie Fails In Wayatt McCallie from North Carolina was eliminated in the finals of the Southern District Rhodes Scholarship competi rion following interviews held Dec. 18 at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. McCallie, a 21 - year - old senior from Chattanoga, Tenn., was one of 12 candidates from six Southern states who com peted in the district finals. Of the 12 four were selected as Rhodes Scholars. McCallie, who is a member of Chi Psi Fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa, Pi Mu Epsilon, Phi Eta Sigma, and for three years chairman of the Nation al Merit Scholarship Commit tee, was chosen as one of North Carolinai's two repre sentatives The other representative, Billy Clark of Charlotte, N.C., a student at Davidson, was one of th f'ir recipients of a Rhodes Scholarship.

University Denounces Move, Requested State's Opinion By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Staff Writer The State Attorney Gener al's office will issue within the next few days an opinion on the legality of Student Govern ment's retaining a lawyer, ac cording to Deputy Attorney General Ralph Moody. Student Legislature passed a bill approving the retention of an official Student Government counsel in a session two weeks before Christmas vacation. The bill's passage provoked a protest from South Build ing, and Dean of Student Af fairs C. O. Cathey wrote a letter December 14 to Student Body President Paul Dickson denouncing the bill as "both unnecessary and unwise." University attorney and As sistant Business Manager J. A. Williams wrote the letter to the Attorney General request ing a ruling on the legality of Student Government's action. "We're near a decision now," Moody said yesterday. "I expect to send a letter to the Chancellor in a few days," he said, "but right now things are in what I'd call a 'fluid state.' " Dickson said yesterday he had information indicating that Williams had requested that Student Government's reten tion of a lawyer be declared illegal. have been removed. There is no time schedule for other removals, Branch added. Waters indicated that high rise construction will be used when substituting new build ings for the temporary. The multi - story buildings will conserve vital campus space. High - rise construction is something relatively new on campus. The University now has two seven - story men's dorms, Craige and Ehring haus, and one ten - story men's dorm, Morrison. The Hinton James Dorm scheduled for occupancy in September of 1967 will also be a ten - sotry structure. "We have a 21 - story dorm in design. We may have three of them built," revealed Wa ters. Polk Dorm, presently plan ned to be 21 stories, is to be located in the Avery, Parker, Teague area near Kenan Sta dium and will probably be completed by the fall of 1963. She fills a vacancy created by the resignation of Miss Mary V. Cheek who wil be come an educational consult ant with the North Carolina Board of Nursing. Miss Boylan has been assis tant director of nursing at Me morial since 1952. Biochemical Research The National Science Foun dation has awarded $84,000 to North Carolina to purchase equipment for biochemical re search in a variety of fields. The money will be used to buy five major pieces of equip ment according to Dr. J. Lo gan Irvin, chairman of the de partment of Biochemistry. federalists To Meet Tne United World Federal ists will hold an open meet ing tomorrow from 6-8 p.m. at the Durham Baptist Student Center to discuss the Viet nam war as it affects the lo cal community. The United World Federal ists of Durham and Chapel Hill is a chapter of a nation al non - partisan educational The retention of a Student Government lawyer was men tioned by Dickson as a legis lative possibility during last spring's political campaign, and the bill was drawn up and introduced early this fall. "We have been unusually fortunate down through the years in having a very close and effective relationship be tween Student Government, the faculty and the Administra tion," Cathey's letter to Dick son reads in part. "It has been possible to talk through the problems that have arisen in face - to - face contacts without the involve ment of third parties," the let ter continues. "The employment of an at torney by any party in such discussions will seriously jeop ardize the closeness of t h e s e relationships," it reads. Cathey's letter was read be fore Student Government at its last session by Speaker Britt Gordon. "Who ever said the actions of this body have no conse quences," Gordon remarked to the legislature. Dickson said yesterday leg al counsel was necessary for Student Government before it initiated several proposed new projects. He cited the drawing up of volume purchasing ontracts for the Student Discounting Commission and judicial re form as two projects which needed extensive legal re search. "I guess the Administration is afraid we will hire a law yer and bring suit against the University whenever there's a hassle," Dickson said. "Dean Cathey has deplored the use of a third party in any dsipute between Student Government and the Adminis tration." Dickson said. "Yet, the Administration has gone around and brought a third party, the State Attorney Gen eral, into this dispute." Dickson rejected a proposal form Cathey that Student Go vernment use the services of Williams. Williams "wouldn't have the time to do extensive legal re search," Dickson said. He also cited a possible "conflict of interest" which would arise from William's be ing in the service of the Uni versity and Student Govern ment at the same time. Dickson said that during the 1962 student administration, Student Government requested that Williams prepare a brief on the North Carolina liquor laws. "Williams said he was sor ry and he didn't have the time to work on it," Dickson said. Finals and political action group, which seeks to promote world peace through the use of en forcable world law.
