Strong Feeling For Policy Here

By BOBBY NOWELL
DTH Staff Writer
Even though Carolina is
generally regarded as being
more liberal in student affairs
than either of its major
neighboring universities, Duke
and N. ' C. State, "country
club" Chapel Hill trails these
'more conservative"
institutions with regards to
room visitation by coeds.
There has never been a
policy allowing coeds to visit
dorm rooms at UNC. Duke,
however, began allowing girls
into bedroom areas over two
and a half years ago, and State
adopted a more limited
visitation rule last year.

appreciably affected. "The rain

according to a spokesman for

Only .62 inches of rain fell
which was not enough to stop
the water level from falling

water level is down 91 inches
from the spill point.
In the last five days the
average drop in the water level
has improved from two inches
a day to now barely over one

of the prearranged visits are for

"We' re' appreciative of this
concern, but don't want you
(the students) to think the
university can guarantee your
security," stated Cathey.- ;
The committee was formed
spontaneously by concerned
students interested in achieving
the most effective dorm
security possible.
The petition reads: "We, the
undersigned women students
lof the University of North
Carolina ; at - Chapel Hill,
maintain that dorm security is
not adequate, and therefore
request the procurement of a
night watchman for each of
our dorms. We believe this
measure to be of utmost
importance and priority for
our protection."
Dean Cathey agreed that the
problem of security was most
important.. He added that the
university has long been aware
of the problem. The main
obstacle to cross is one of
finances, he said.
"This summer we received
special permission to hire four
more campus policemen. We
have acquired three of these
men, and are seeking the
fourth. These jobs require at
least $7500 a piece," said
Cathey.
Cathey added that the
university initiated a program
of strenghtened security in
dorms this summer costing
around $40,000.
Improved screening on
windows at ground or
basement levels, improved
lighting outside dorms, and
new locks on doors have been
installed.

Conference Views Major Issues
Five New Proposals Presented In Reidsville
By TOM SNOOK
DTH Staff Writer
A student-faculty-administration
, conference to
examine the methods by which
the major issues facing the
university this year should be
met was held in Reidsville last
weekend.
Discussions at the
conference centered on two
different areas. First, the forces
which hinder and encourage
open discussion and decision
making on campus were
discussed. From therei the
specific issues which will be
"disturbances".
State does not have an
administration rule limiting the
hours of coed visits, but Weiss
. 'We try to ate them
so that they never last later
than 10:30 p.m."
The Duke plan began on an
experimental basis in 1966 with
tnal weekend visitations and
registration by everyone who
participated in these visits.
N.C. State had no visitation
rule prior to 1967.
Coed visits to individual
rooms are generally taboo for
most colleges and universities
jn North Carolina. Wake
Forest, the fourth menber of
the Big Four, reportedly is in
the same situation as Carolina;
efforts have been undertaken
"to greatly modernize" the
rules, but so far no coeds are
allowed in individual quarters.

The committee expressed
the feelingthat the presence of
a night watchman at each coed
dorm would still be necessary
to effectively discourage
prowlers and intruders in the
area. ' The committee added -that
coed peace-of-mind, a
major concern, would be aided
with the employment of
nightwatchmen.
Dean Cathey said he would
concern himself with the
problem Lot:r receiving
appropriations' for attaining
added campus policemen.
He said he would consult" 5
Mr. Eagles, Vice Chancellor for v
Financial Affairs at his earliest
convenience to discuss the
petition. The Committee, in
turn, will discuss the matter
with the Vice Chancellor.
The committee said it was
"prepared to write parents and
state legislators in order to
inform them of the necessity
of night watchmen, if this was
needed."

Job Reading Room Open
By MARY BURCH
DTH Staff Writer
Are you looking for an
interesting summer job either
abroad or in a special
geographic, or vocational area?
Well, you; have somewhere to
go. ' . S: -v' : -
The UNC placement office
opened a Summer Job Reading
Room in 203 Gardner Hall on
Wednesday.
"At last we have a central
location on campus where
students can find out about
interesting job opportunities in
vocational fields," said Miss
Jeri Ellis, a summer job
placement counselor.
"Students have been comming
to the office in volumnes. We
are really pleased with the
response."
The reading room is divided
into two parts jobs in the
United States and jobs
overseas. There are booklets
and notebooks listing jobs in
"virtually every geographic and
and vocational area," Miss Ellis
said.
The overseas section lists
opportunities in the way of
volunteer program, work
camps, training programs and
study abroad programs.
"The job opportunities for
making money abroad are very
limited," Miss Ellis noted.
"There are many fraudulent
companies which promise
interesting profitable jobs, but
it is difficult to find such jobs
as they promise.
"We have listings of many
excellent study abroad
programs and volunteer
projects which would provide
an enriching experience and
travel opportunities for the
meet for an extended period of
time away from the everyday
pressures of campus and get to
know each other as individuals.
'This aspect of the
conference means that it
should be held every year so
that each new group of student
leadership can have some
opportunity to meet the men
and women of the faculty with
whom they will be working
during the coming year."
The conference decided that
lack of communication was the
greatest obstruction to
discussion and decision-making
on campus. Lack of

Students who have had
meaningful jobs, either
profitable, interesting or jobs
which contributed to

requested to fill out a form

Agnew Tells Crowd
Wallace Can't Win
RALEIGH, N. C. (UPI) Republican vice presidential
candidate Spiro Agnew told a lunch hour crowd of about 1,500
persons Monday the South cannot win with George Wallace.
"I urge you if you wish to repudiate the present court not to
vote for any third party candidate. Do not waste your vote on a
candidate who cannot be elected," Agnew said in a speech from a
platform in the middle of Raleigh's main street.
"A third party executive in the chair can't help us with the
things that need to be done," the Maryland governor said.
He said a vote for Wallace would be a vote taken away from
Richard Nixon and a vote for Hubert Humphrey.
"What we need is not a number two man, but a new man,"
Agnew said of the vice president He branded Humphrey as a man
"who couldn't unite his own party and can't unite the country."
Agnew encountered a group of about 10 Negro protestors in a
walk from the speaker's platform to the Sheraton Sir Walter
Hotel. The group carried signs reading "Peace," and "What are
you going to do for us?"
Agnew seemed scarely to notice.
The candidate scheduled meetings with local Republicans and
television tapings for the afternoon before flying on the
Jacksonville, Fla., for more appearances Monday night.
communication between the
students and faculty and the
administration and students
were the two major points of
this problem.
Five major suggestions came
out of the Reidsville
conference in regards to areas
of improvement in the
University. The first of these is
the idea of a New College. This
suggestion incorporates the
idea of an expanded residence
college in which the members
would be able to select and
develope courses for their
cirriculum. Basically it is a
