The wonder of it all! For those not fortunate enough to be
pre-registered, it wasn't wonder but drudgery. Believe it or not, all
those forms with the endless repetitious blanks are necessary to keep
track of the more than 6,000 students here for second session.
Coed Assistant
To Leave UNC
By MARY BURCH
Tar Heel Staff Writer
"I am distressed by the
increasing disposition among
students on campus that the
administration is here solely to
suppress them," said Assistant to
the Dean of Women Dershie
McDevitt.
"The student seems to feel
that the administration is trying
to tell him how to run his life,"
she said. "This is not the case.
The administration's role is to
lend support when it is
needed-to be directional rather
than judgmental."
Dershie McDevitt, who has
been an Assistant to the Dean of
Women for the past three years,
will be leaving in September.
During her three years here, she
has fostered that vital link
between the student and the
administration through her work
with orientation, Panhel, and her
personal contacts with students.
Mrs. McDevitt, or "Dershie"
as she is known by most
students, graduated from UNC
in 1964 with a nursing degree.
Her husband graduated from
UNC Law School in June.
"I'm not sure when or where
we will be moving," she said.
"We may decide to remain in
Chapel Hill. Our plans are
indefinite now."
During her final interview,
Dershie discussed the changes
which have occurred during the
past three years here.
"The first year I was here,
UNC admitted 350 freshman
girls the largest number ever
previously admitted. The
changes have come in the
adjustment to the increasing
enrollment
"Before the fall of 1965,
UNC was a University with a
girl's school attached. UNC
offered a great deal of freedom
to the transfer who had been
used to a girl school's
restrictions. Freedoms and
privileges should come when the
coed is ready for them and when
she can cope with them."
With the admission of coeds
to the liberal arts program,
adjustments had to be made in
the approach to education, Mrs.

Additions Underway
By EVIE STEVENSON
Tar Heel Staff Writer
The North Carolina Memorial
Hospital is in the process of
expanding its present facilities.
Additions to the existing
building plus added construction
are being built.
The Ambulatory Patient Care
Facility which will be built onto
the south and north of the
hospital, will add 268,000
square feet of space. It is hoped
that the state General Assembly
will approve the addition of 6
more stories to the Ambulatory
Patient Facility in the fall. This
would add space for 250
additional beds.
A new Health Science Library
Building is under construction at
the present time and will be used
by all five of the Health Affairs
Schools.
The Medical School will be
given a Basic Science Teaching
In N..C. Delegate
By LILL RUSSO
Tar Heel Editor
Senator Eugene McCarthy
brought his presidential
aspirations to Raleigh this
morning in meetings with
Governor Moore, the North
Carolina Democratic delegation
and two public rallies.
(As of deadline time no text
of his remarks at either the rally
or the press conference, was
available.)
Senator McCarthy appeared
yesterday in Richmond,
Virginia. This visit was the first
in a series of appeals to the
southern states in his bid for the
Democratic Presidential
nomination.
While in Richmond he spoke
to Governor Miles Godwin of
Virginia. He made no public
address.
Help!
The Managing Editor
is in desperate need of
students willing to devote
some of their tree time
to working on The Tar
Heel. No prior experience
is needed.
Any interested student
should call Rebel Good at
933-1011 afternoons, or
967-1742 mornines and
nights.
Memorial Hospital
Facility but will be for the
benefit of the Schools of
Parmacy, Public Health,
Dentistry, and Nursing as well.
The Basic Educational
Facility for the Dental School
will make possible larger classes.
The new Swing Research
Building will house one or more
medical school basic science
departments as well as
temporary lab space for faculty
of the School of Medicine.
The Campus Telephone
Exchange is being added to
improve the telephone system
for the main campus and the
health affairs area.
Plans for the future include
multi-deck parking lots in
Victory Village which adjoins
the Health Affairs Area. It is
hoped that by the end of the
summer 400 permanent parking
spaces will be open for visitors
to the hospital.
A Child .Development Center
However at a press
conference McCarthy said that
he was making an attempt to
persuade the delegates to do
away with the unit or block vote
rule at the convention. He
continued, describing it as
twarting the majority wishes of
the Democratic Party. He said
that he had no estimate on his
present delegate strength.
McCarthy said that hsi
presidential attempt was based
more on a response to a public
calling than a quest for
presidential power.
When asked about the lack of
response among Negroes to his
campaign, he said that he had
always received their support in
his home state and would
continue to receive it on a
national level.
McCarthy, in discussing his
talked-about visit to Paris, said
that no plans have been made as
he had not renewed his
vaccinations.
McCarthy was due to arrive at
the Raleigh-Durham Airport at
9:00 this morning where he was
slated to address a public rally
before leaving for the Sir Walter
Hotel in Raleigh.
At the Hotel, he plans to
meet with the North Carolina
delegates before addressing a full
caucus of the 131 delegates and
alternates.
A news conference is
.-scheduled for 11:30 a.m. in the
Hayes-Barton room which is to
be followed by a public rally at
"the" MacLaurin parking lot on
Fayetteville Street.
is in the drawing stage now.
Construction should begin this
fall for research, faculty offices,
and psychiatric care for children.
The Hospital has plans in the
making for the expansion of the
Medical School's student body
from 75 to 100.
A Clinical Sciences Building is
being planned to give additional
office and laboratory space for
the clinical faculty.
At the present time the
hospital has a budget of about
12 million dollars. After the
addition of the Ambulatory
Patient Care Facility, the budget
will increase to 17 million.
The hospital now serves
14,000 inpatients from all
counties of North Carolina and
125,000 outpatients. The
number of outpatients will be
increased to 200,000 after the
completion of the Ambulatory
Patient Care Facility.
Bid
After the rally, McCarthy will
fly to Charlotte, North Carolina,
where he will speak to a
gathering at the airport there.
Then he will fly to Atlanta,
Georgia, to meet with the
Georgian delegation and other
political figure.
McCarthy hopes that this visit
will be influential in swinging
the North Carolina delegation,
which casts 59 votes in Chicago,
to him. They are presently
committed to favorite son
candidate Governor Moore. It is
felt at the present time that the
majority favor Vice-President
Humphrey. Humphrey declined
an invitation to speak to the
caucus.
A highlight of today's visit is
the motor calvacade from the
airport to the hotel.
Many Chapel Hill residents
and Carolina students are
expected to be at the series of
rallies and working in downtown
Raleigh for the Senator during
the day. Local McCarthy
headquarters expect that at least
2000 people will travel to see
McCarthy from Chapel Hill by
chartered bus and by private car.
