The administration
announced yesterday plans to
post a night watchman at each
coed residence hall during the
night.
Joe Eagles, Vice Chancellor
for Financial Affairs, said the
University is now working on
contract proposals. The new
guard system will go into effect
as soon as these contracts are
-secured.
The employment of these
nightwatchmen is a result of a
student petition requesting
grards at each women's dorm
for improved security.
The petition, handled by
the Women's Committee on
Dorm Security, was presented
to Dean of Student Affairs
C O. Cathey for consideration
on Monday, Oct. 7.

"We, the undersigned

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."
Cathey consulted Eagles on
the petition's request. He told
the committee the University
had long been aware of the
problem of additional security
precautions, but that the main
obstacle to cross was one of
finances.

campus.

of Security for Westinghouse
Electric Company in Charlotte,
evaluated the security situation

Stephens i reported that the
two main problems were
"students" and "doors." He
suggested that students report

immediately to the proper
authorities.
He said there is a need for
more lighting and for a

A group of concerned
students revealed Thursday
that it may announce a
campus-wide boycott in its
negotiations with the Student
Stores and Book Exchange.
The students who are
organizing these negotiations
are Dick Levyv Dick Callaway,
and Harry Diffendal, member
of the Chancellor's Advisory
Committee on Student Stores.

James Resolution Protests
Single Occupancy Decision
The James residence college
senate passed a resolution
Tuesday night, Oct. 29,
protesting the treatment of
students who have been forced
to move or pay the price of
single-occupancy rooms
because they were not assigned
roommates at the beginning of
the semester.
The students involved,
according to Richard
Brenckman, one of three
senators from the eighth floor
of James who sponsored the
bill, are largely residents of
James dormitory.
He said that they are people
who payed for double
occupancy rooms and were not
given roommates.
Officials have recently
moved to solve the situation of
single occupants in rooms by
forcing these people to either
pay the price for having
single-occupancy rooms or by
moving or getting someone else
to move in with them.
The resolution passed by
the James senate reads as
follows.
A Resolution of Protest
Concerning the Housing
Situtation: .
Whereas: The situation
concerning single occupants
who paid for double rooms was
caused solely by a lack of
foresight on the part of the
administration, and
Whereas: At the meeting in
which the problem was
resolved, the students who
were directly involved were not
present, and
Whereas: A student solution
to the problem and pledge of
cooperation was subsequently
ignored; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
SENATE OF JAMES
RESIDENCE COLLEGE
THAT:
Article I: We strongly
protest the unfair and harsh
action which was taken by
these members of the
administration who were
directly involved.
Article II: If this resolution
is passed, it be publicized in

pertinent information on the
Student Stores for over two
years.
Callaway, in explaining the
purpose of negotiating with the
Student Stores, stated, that
there is "a great deal of
concern on campus that the
Student Stores are not keeping
the welfare of the students
foremost in mind."
Callaway said that the
possibility of an indefinite
boycott has wide support on
campus, and that other groups
and individuals will announce
their support within the week.
However, Callway hopes that
the boycott will not be
necessary in dealing with
officials of the Student Stores.
"We sincerely hope a
boycott can be averted and if
the Student Stores officials
display the good faith we
expect, it will."
The group is presently
conducting an investigation to
show how the prices in the
with
Student Stores compare
state-wide price averages.
Callaway revealed the
following specific demands of
this group:
1. Immediate five cent
reduction in price of UNC
sandwiches with an
"appropriate" improvement in
quality.
2. Reduction to twenty-five
cents of the price of cigarettes
sold in campus -vending
vtiachines. .
3. More and better pool
tables on South Campus.
4. Regular operation of the
check cashing booth in
Morrison or in another suitable
South Campus location.
5. Assurance that sandwich
vending machines will be
installed in all dorms as earlier
promised.
6. Assurance that all dorm
snack bars will remain open
until 11:00 p.m. as they have in
past years.
7. More prompt courteous
service in all Student Store
facilities.
Callaway terms these
requests "small, specific and
reasonable." Qnce they are

action has been suggested:

LB J Orders Bomb Halt
WASHINGTON (UPI) - President
Johnson Thursday night ordered a total halt
to the bombing of North Vietnam and said
the Saigon government and the National
Liberation Front would be brought into
broadened and "intensive" peace talks in
Paris on Wednesday.
The President said in a nationwide
television address that he had reason to
expect that North Vietnam would begin
"prompt, productive, serious and intensive
negotiations in an atmosphere that is
conducive to progress" when the broadened
talks start.
But American officials announced while
Johnson was speaking that North Vietnam
understands that the bombing halt would be
broken if prompt and useful talks were not
initiated in Paris.
The officials said that no ceasefire in
South Vietnam had been agreed upon. They
said the war would continue in the South.
But, they said, the United States has
reason to believe that the tempo of the
fighting will be reduced overall. It is not
contemplated, officials said, that any U.S.
troops will be withdrawn from Vietnam
within the next few months.
"I have reached this decision on the basis
of developments in the Paris , talks," the
Chief Executive announced. "And I have
reached it in the belief that this action can
lead to progress toward a peaceful
settlement of the Vietnamese War."
Johnson made his television speech
exactly seven months after announcing on
March 31, that he had ordered a geographical
limit on the bombing of North Vietnam.
That resulted in the preliminary talks in
Paris between U.S. and North Vietnamese
representatives.
But the talks became bogged down when
the North Vietnamese negotiators insisted
that a full and complete bombing halt would
have to precede any negotiations on a
settlement of the war.
Although there is no agreed agenda for
the talks, the United States has a number of
issues it wants to move into as soon as
feasible. These include a possible cease-fire,
some agreement on respecting the neutrality
of Laos and withdrawal of North
Vietnamese forces from the South.

Second Of Three Parts
The Grad Student: Working In A Social Vacuum

into the night while trying to
raise a family and make enough
money to keep going to school,
is more nearly the rule than the
exception.
In truth, little can be done
to alleviate the work load. But
the results of a poll taken by
the Daily Tar Heel indicate a
gneral feeling among grads that
a lot more can be done to
bridge the intellectual and
social gaps between the
graduate and undergraduate
student bodies.
"Hell," snorted one
chemistry grad, "I've spent
most of my time in Venable
Hall for the last three years. I
know practically no one
outside of fellow chemistry
grads."
"The difference in
compatibility and interaction
between grads and undergrads
here is quite marked," said
another who has done graduate
work both here and at the
University of Florida.
"You don't feel like you're
a part of things. All you have is
the tremendous amount
work. When vou have

Line To Pay Us Much Attention9
of
no
chance for social participation
in the little free time you do
have, it makes this work seem
like trying to bail out the sea
with a thimble."
These grim words came
from a student who honestly
described himself as being "one
of the biggest hell-raisers and
party-goers" he knew during
his undergrad days.
Where does the fault for this
deficit lie?
Most of the grads
questioned believe that lack of
sympathy on the part of the
administration and student
government are to blame.
Many of the charges
levelled at the administration
are hazy. One of the most
interesting and exemplary was:
"They (administration) seem
to be too preoccupied with
keeping the undergrads in line
to pay us much attention.
Either that or they just hope
we will keep our noses quietly
to the grindstone and pretend
we don't exist."
Dr. James C. Ingram, Dean
of the Graduate School,
perhaps best explained student
government's attitude, or lack
of it, towards the grads: "This
and other organizations grew
up in the undergraduate
student body and has never
particularly been designed for
grads."
Regardless of their lack of
familiarity in dealing with the
grads, South Building and SG
will almost have to grant the
grads a greater voice in
policy-making. Graduates at
present comprise 22 per cent
of the student body and the
figure is rising.
The general feeling among
the grads seems to be that
although they may, for their
work load, have no time to
engage in extra-curricular
activities, they still want the
right to participate.
The recent threat by a
group of unidentified grads to
waste as much water as
possible unless athletic water
useage is curtailed, reflects, in
part, the anguish and
disenchantment felt by man
toward the administration.
