'etitlom equesf s By SIIARI WILLIS of The Daily Tar Heel Staff Girls in Joyner and Connor dorms are circulating a pe tition for individual room tele phones. By Monday, more than half of the girls living in each dorm bad signed the petition, which reads: '-"We the undersigned, as students living 'in either Joyner or Connor, urge the Chapel Hill Telephone Department t o install phones in the individual rooms of the dorms; and we do agree to pay $9 per semester for the telephones." The petition idea started when Barbara Brownridge, president of Joyner, was talking to Russell Perry of the Physical Plant Department as he made bis usual round checking the dorm. Perry told her that the girls probably could have the phones put in, since all of the rooms had been wired for telephones during last summer's renovation of the two dorms. Each dorm has only two rhones for every 50 girls and R H ' ' ! 1 1 !''. f """"Y 1 i "V A Heartbreaker... 3-1 Don Johnson, Student Party chairman, said he expects at least one of his party's candidates for president to win, called another race for president a toss-up and feels his party has a slight edge in the third race. Whichever party can. win the presidencies will be benefitted in fee spring elections, according to Johnson. Winning the class offices, increases a party's contacts with the classes and bolsters its chances of winning in the IDT JO. By TERRY GINGRAS of Th Daily Tar Bed Staff Student Body President Bob Travis said Monday he would ask Student Legislature to hold By Girls Phones no house phones. Miss Brownridge presented the idea to girls living in Joyner, and she received good response. Installation of the telephones is an "all or a o h in g propo sition. Telephones must be installed in every room of both Connor: and Joyner or nobody gets any. The only problems Miss Brownridge sees now are girls who might not. want to pay the $9-per-semester assessment. She hasn't decided what to do if that problem arises. .

According to the Student Government code, an initiative referendum such as the proposed Honor Code refer endum may be held if 10 ;of the student body signs a petition calling for an election on a bill wmch they shall submit in writing with the petition. There is a problem in deciding if the Di-Phi petition constitutes such a bilL . Travis said this question is a "technical matter." "I could order a referendum with the petition just the way it is. According to the Student Government code I can order -the referendum if I tfiftsk the petition is in good order." Travis said he wouldn't order the referendum because the question of the included bill is not clear cut and the referendum might be bogged down by court cases and Plans Studies The council, composed of seven-men delegations from Consolidated University Greensboro, Chapel Hill and Raleigh, also voted to set up a central treasury in Chapel Hill and keep its records here. The council plans to draw up a new constitution and decide on fits goals, which UNC delegation chairman Andy Ringle told the group was "the big problem that should be ironed out." The question of changing the University calendar so exams could come before Christmas was brought up but he council decided to leave the matter up to each campus to pursue.

The council delegated several committees to look at various problems on the four campuses and submit reports to the executive council before taking any action. One committee is looking into the possibility of ID's for each campus being honored at the others. The state affairs committees at the four campuses plan to work together because all share a common "problem of letting the people know our problems and needs' according to Ed Bristol, chairman of UNCs State Affairs Committee. Louis Busb drives for the goal CounciL Two seats in WD I, off campus; oca in Spencer and Smilh; cne in Nurses; cse in Winston, Connor, and Joyner; and two in Cobb are the seats being contested for the Women's Honor Council. A3 students living on campus will vote in their dorms except for Alexander resisdents, who vote in Lewis; Carr residents, who vote in Old East; and Kenan residents, who vote in Mclver. Off-campus residents vote ttt n tempore of Di-Phi, and said Di Phi would submit a bill calling for the referendum to tonight's special session of Student Legislature. "I will also ask Student Legislature to empower me to set up a special committee to word the referendum." Travis hoped the wording would be drawn by Dec 1 and the legislature would conduct it on Dec. 6. MTim "We were talking about the morality of the rules, rules to protect ourselves and rules to protect us from others," Miss Owens said, "and there is no way to come up with definite yes or no' answers on questions like these." Attending the conference in Chase Cafeteria were members of Miss Owens' staff, members of the Women's Residence Council, selected members of the Women's Honor Council, vice presidents of women's dorms (who serve as chairmen of the house councils) and selected members of the faculty and Administration. "When a case comes up," Miss Owens said, "there is often a lot of frustration because we know that we must present a case fairly and objectively but so often, either we don't agree with the rule or have broken it ourselves in other circumstances." She said this problem was discussed at length by the people there "and no two people had exactly the same idea about this- or any other problem. "We pretty well decided that a student shouldn't be both a legislator and a judge at the same time," she said. But she added, "this can often be a problem, because . in another Carolina scoring either in the Scuttlebutt, the Navy Armory, Y-Court or GIL The election will cost about $135, according to ZetteL About 15.0CO ballots have been printed. Zettel called the pell tenders the key to a good election and asks that they be sure and wait for their replacements or for the track to pick up the ballot boxes. He also asks that any interested student come by CM to help count the ballots. KDlay That way we can have the results tabulated over the Christmas vacation." Travis said the referendum would be used to give credibility and empirical data to support the request for honor system reform when it is ma de to the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline. I want to emphasize," said (Coniiaaed en P&sa S) we're trying 'to be judges and objectively rule on a case while knowing that we make many mistakes, too. '"This was the basic type of thing that we were talking about this weekend," she said, "and it was most meaningful discussion because everybody there was simply talking as she felt." 1 hate to call it this, but what we had was a group of concerned people," Miss Ow ens said. She said she was most pleased with the cumber of faculty and administrators who came every one who was invited. "All the students there realized that faculty and administrators have many other things to do than spend all their time with student problems, yet many of them came at the beginning and stayed right through til the end. "I really was pleased and sincerely appreciate the interest that these people are showing in our student problems," she said. Finally ,Miss Owens said that she had learned more positive ly that "students are not just simply students in themselves, but rather are part of a tre mendous University machine."
