NOVEMBER 19, 196S elflLimiitiEg .For Significant Step Says Sitterson By BOBBY NOWELL DTH Staff Writer The University has adopted a policy for self-limiting hours for upperclass women students, Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson announced Monday. The new policy, which Sitterson termed "a step forward for the University," and "a significant step in recognizing the maturity and responsibility of our women students," was recommended by a student-faculty-administration committee and was authorized by the Chancellor and Consolidated University President William Friday. It Will permit each camD US rlpn liner with nrnhlpms of the Consolidated University . I to adopt "academic, disciplinary, and security requirements" under which certain categories of women students living in University housing may determine for themselves times of departure and return to their residences. For the Chapel Hill campus, this will include (1) upperclasswomen over 21 years of age; (2) bona fide juniors and seniors under 21 years of age who have submitted written parental permission to the University; and (3) 2.0 average and no record of discipline for those eligible juniors and seniors. The policy will go into effect on each campus "when the academic disciplinary and security requirements have been developed and promulgated and after parents of all women students have been advised of these," according to the report issued by the Chancellor. Sitterson said that he considered these factors "details of implementation" which will be worked out by the Women's Residence Council (WRC) and the Dean of Women's Office. Libby Idol, WRC chairman, said she is "delighted" with the policy and added "it is broader than I expected in that it includes juniors. But I think this was farsight on the part of the administration since pressure would have been stronger to include juniors next, anyway." Miss Idol said she and the rest of the WRC would do everything possible to have the policy effective by next semester. Sitterson praised the joint committee for its ' comprehensive, cooperative, and productive efforts" in the "identification and appraisal of factors which had to be taken into account in considering adoption of this policy." The committee began its deliberations last spring and worked during the summer drafting the questionable which the women students recently answered. "Their work is a good illustration of the University Will House Foreign, American Women Students the idea." "Dean Carmichael had tried to start this years ago but found the necessary interest lacking. But when she was informed of the interest now on campus, she immediately started to work on the idea."

The precise details of the proposed international house here have not been worked out but current plans call for the use of one or two floors in an existing girls dorm. "There has already been shown enough interest among the girls on the committees of the ISC to fill one floor," Miss Withrow said. "We will try to set up the international house like the 9 oi -.7H 3 !

Also arrested were N.C. State student, Alan Cole, a freshman from Newport News, Va. and reporter Mike Cozza, senior, Windsor, Conn., who was covering the group's activities for the Daily Tar Heel. The students were charged with violating Title 18, U.S. Code, section 1382, which provides that "picketing, demonstrations, sit-ins, protest marches, or similar activities" are prohibited on federal reservations. If convicted, the students face a maximum penalty of six months in prison andor a $500 fine. Charges were filed early Sunday morning in the court of U.S. Commissioner Wallace Jackson. All the students pleaded not guilty and requested a continuance, except Cozza, who accepted an immediate hearing. Cozza pleaded not guilty and explained his status as a reporter, not a member of the anti-war group. After hearing the evidence, Commissioner Jackson postponed judgment until Nov. 25, when the other students will be tried. At the time of their arrests, two of the students, Mann and Rose, were handing out leaflets at a movie theater on base, while the other students observed their activities. The entire group, however, was arrested at about 7 p.m. by several Military Policemen and taken to the Provost Marshal's present system for men at Carr Building, with one international student and one American student in a room."

Upon arrival at the base they were placed under surveillance and a few of the group were informed by Operations and Enforcements Officer Keller that they would be arrested if they violated the prohibition of "picketing, demonstrations, siMns, protest NUC Charges Irregularity In Cam The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has been asked to investigate the University's practice of denying the use of certain campus facilities to campus groups for fund-raising purposes. In a letter sent by the New University Conference (NUC) the group stated that the University permits some organizations on campus to use its facilities but not others. They also charged that the granting of such was done on an "obviously partisan basis." The issue was raised last will be living in such close proximity to each other it won't be important for a girl to have a foreign student as her roommate," Miss Withrop said. The international house for girls, according to Miss Withrow, "will not be in conflict with the existing international house for boys as a programming unit." "But the existing living and learning experience that the bovs attain by living at the ISC Building will now be available (GtFsl Wo marches, and similar activities." The students left at about 4:30 p.m., and a spokesman said they would try to determine from legal counsel whether "similar activities" covered leafleting and free discussion. The spokesman said the students had no intention of violating any law. They proceeded to downtown Fayetteville, where they talked to police and reporters and ate dinner. The group then returned to Bragg at about 6:30 p.m. and went to the theater where they were arrested. The leaflets that Mann and acility Use pus year when the use of facilities was denied to the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). They had planned to present a benefit concert featuring Judy Collins. Reasons for the denial at the time included the argument that Miss Collins lacked wide audience appeal. For lack of clear evidence of discrimination against the SDS and because of the unavailability of Miss Collins for the concert, the matter was dropped. Since Miss Collins is appearing in concert this Friday, members of the NUC to girls.' i n t e r n a t ionally-minded The ISC will hold an organizational meeting for all girls who are interested in working on the house or who would like to live there next Tuesday, Oct. 26th at 7 p.m. in the ISC building.

The leaflet said the students were concerned about reports that war protestors do not support soldiers. "We do support you," the leaflet read, but "we do not support the war ... We don't want you to kill anyone or be killed. We want you home alive and in one piece, not in a wooden box." Trials for the eleven students, and the judgment for Cozza will be held Nov. 25 at the U.S. Post Office Building in Fayetteville. All the accused were released on their own recognizance. felt that this would be a good time to raise the issue again. To the matter of discrimination, the letter pointed out that a substantia portion of the gross receipts from the Bob Hope Show at Carmichael Auditorium last spring was given to a campus ROTC-related organization. This information was supplied by Howard Henry, director of the Carolina Union. Another example of campus organizations using University facilities for fund raising affairs was the use of Memorial Hall for the Germans Club weekend. The letter stated enforcement of the rule preventing campus organizations from charging admission to entertainment which they themselves bring was done on a selective basis. Such selective enforcement, they contended, raises serious questions about the purpose of the rule. In asking for the investigation by the AAUP, the NUC pointed out a statement by the organization saying, "The institutional control of campus facilities should not be used as a device for censorship." Copies of the letter have been sent to the president of the University of North Carolina AAUP, the regional office of the AAUP and administration officials.
