"equal opportunity" A News Analysis By HUNTER GEORGE of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Yes, more Negroes ought to attend the University of North Carolina. No, we can't con centrate our efforts primarily on the Negro community. This is a . paradox that is being considered .with caution by administrators of the Consolidated University. These officials admit there is some problem in attracting qualified Negroes to the University. They cite ex amples. But they do not feel that an all-out effort at grabbing Negroes for the school is the answer. "There does need to be a special effort made (at recruit ment)," said Robert White, assistant director o f - ad missions at N. C. State. "But we are reluctant to single out Negro high schools." White's sentiment was echoed by administrators at all four branches of the Consolidated University. , All stressed that no special effort is made to recruit Negroes, but that an "equal opportunity" policy is follow ed. This is not designed to help or hinder Negro applicants, they said, but to give every student in the state a fair chance at attending UNC. Brochures and visitation pro- Studeuuts grams are made available to every mgn senooi. it is up to the high school to avail it's students of these efforts. But uns is the rub. Many predominantly Negro high schools do not pass this in formation on the students, who, consequently, discover only the advantages of Negro institutions. "If the counselors (at Negro high schools) are graduates of Negro colleges, they are not going to be as encouraging for their students to come to Carolina," explained UNC Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson. Another official agreed. "We tend to recommend those things we are familiar with," he said. This situation was one of the reasons UNC student Phil Clay has formally requested the University to step up its recruitment program in Negro high schools. Clay feels Negroes are not aware of the opportunities for them at the school. "In the past,-Negroes have asuumed that when this school has said it offered real educa tional opportunity, this does not mean them they feel they have to go up North to get it," Clay said. "We want to put UNC into the picture." He has suggested doing this by arising certain parts of the recruiting program primarily at Negro students. He also thinks the National Association A Paradox for the Advancement of Colored People could help the University get into the Negro community. While University officials feel Clay's goals are desirable, they are not so convinced that his plan is the best way to go about it. Sitterson said Clay's pro posal is "very useful" and one result will be an expanded visitation program to Negro high schools. But all the officials agreed on one thing: a concerted ef fort directed at Negroes is not "equal opportunity" for anybody. The effort that needs to be made is in getting Negro high schools to use the in formation supplied them about the University. . h --i if "" -.V U v " PMl day need special effort Candidate Platform .For Class Officers At UP Meetin Advisory Posts Set By WAYNE IIURDER of The Daily Tar Heel Staff The University Party selected 15 candidates for class officers election, Nov. 14 and approved a platform for them at its convention Monday night. Jim Newland was nominated to run for junior class presi dent, Randy Merrill for sophomore class president, and Ken McAllister for freshman class president. UP endorsed a program of fered by policy vice-chairman Dick Levy that would restruc ture the class officer system , by creating a class council and an interclass commission. The program instructs UP legislators to introduce bills to establish the committees. If the bill fails and UP nominees win office, they are instructed by the program to go ahead and set up the coun cils without regard to legislature. , UP legislators are also to in troduce bills requesting money for the specific programs call ed for in the UP platform, if the UP candida tes win. "In addition, a bill re questing general funds for each class and for the inter class council shall be in troduced Ao legislature," ac cording to the program. - UP nominees who win will be mm World News BRIEFS By United Press International Israel Wipes Out Egyptian Oil Israel Tuesday knocked out 80 per cent of Egypt's oil refinery capacity in a 3 1-2 hour battle involving tanks, artillery and jet fighters Israeli sources said in Jerusalem.

Britain Plugs Into Hot Line MOSCOW British Prime Minister Harold Wilson plugged in Tuesday to the world's most exclusive communications system the "hot line" to Moscow. 'Just after midnight, a new hot line finking the Kremlin with No. 10 Downing Street in London went into operation. At the moment, Wilson joined President Johnson and Presi dent Charles de Gaulle as the leaders with instanteous contact with the Kremlin in times of crisis and emergency. The first hot line, between Moscow and Washington, was set up in 1963. France hooked up last year. Cost Of Living Jumps Again WASHINGTON The government estimated Tuesday it takes an income of at least $9,191 a year for an average family of four to maintain a modest standard of living a jump of one-third in less than a decade. This was an increase of $3,091 a year over the amount the government estimated was needed in 1959 to mflirdain the same living standard, and $4,991 more than was needed in 1951. Middle East Arms Ban Lifted WASHINGTON The State Department announced Tuesday a partial lifting of the ban on shipments of U.S. arms to the Middle East to permit sending warplanes to Israel, Libya and Morocco and some lesser equipment to Lebanon, Saudia Arabia and Tunisia.

Accumulated gifts to the University through Alumni An nual GivCng (AAG) over a 15 year period have passed the $1 million mark with an allocation of $176,000 from the 1968-67 campaign. A record total of $240,500 was given during the past year by some 8,500 contributors, said Marvin B. Koonce Jr., chairman of the appeal for the past two years. Of this amount $176,000 was given to the Un iversity. Allocation of the $176,000 to the University was made by the AAG Council at its first session of the new year here under the new chairmanship of Charles A. McLendon from Greensboro.

Dietz had just returned from a weekend experimental col lege convention in New York which he attended with Buck Goldstein, director of UNCs Experimental College and Group For N H eeds Funds ospital Chapel David Kiel, last year's direc tor. "We learned that we must broadly expand our base and we must start projects to raise funds for a slush fund." This fund would enable participants in the ex perimental college program to "do what they want." Dietz said the greatest part of the convention was "the feeling, the atmosphere of the whole thing." "Everyone was so interested in the prospect of learning. The atmosphere was casual; we discussed what the group oecided it wanted to discuss sponsored by the Dartmouth Experimental College. It was held at New Yorrk State College, which plans to invest $200 million in an experimental college next year. Among the delegates were representatives of the ex perimental colleges at San Francisco State College (the first experimental college), the Free University of Philadelphia, the Real Great Society (a group of Puerto Rican gang leaders who started the University of the Streets) and Dartmouth. "The discussion ranged for and wide," said Goldstein, "we vention were from all the schools on the east coast hav ing experimental colleges," said Goldstein. "We got ideas on many subjects including academic credit for ex perimental college courses." "The director of the ex- perimental college at New York, Harrison Goddard has another interesting idea.

The $176,000 allocation recommended by the Chan cellor's committee was ap proximately $10,000 more than the amount given the Universi ty by Alumni Annual Giving last year. It brought the total allocations in AAG's 15-year career to $1,162,272.85. Ahimni Annual Giving is one of nine UNC development agencies. Of special interest this year is a new allocation $12,000 Professorships for Freshman Instruction. Chancellor J. Carlyle Sit terson said trial of this new program "could have dramatic long-range impact" Its purpose is to place a renewed emphasis on the significance of instruction at the freshman level, and to en courage senior members of the faculty to engage in depth in freshman instruction for periods of one year. Alumni Professors for Freshman Instruction will teach and counsel freshmen and also study the nature of freshman instruction in their particular discipline. At the year's end they will write a report on their ev periences and observations. The Chancellor explained that "The purpose is not only to give excellent instruction to the professor's freshman pupils, but also to apply to freshman instruction problems the benefit of the experience of men of distinction in their cUstiplines." Ways and means of raising $125,000 to match a challenge gif t to build a chapel at N. C. Memorial Hospital will be discussed in Greensboro on Friday night.

The proposed chapel at the 425-bed teaching hospital would serve the need of patients, students, staff and faculty.
