Student Body President Ken
Day Thursday called the
adoption of an Open House
policy for UNC "a significant
step in the right direction and a
major first step when
compared with initial policies
on Open Houses at other
Universities."
However, Day added, "I
regret the seeming lack of full
confidence in students to
conduct their seif-regulation
implicit in some of the
suggested guidelines.
"I share the frustration of
many students that this
decision, while a progressive
step, should have to come so
late in the context of a major
segment of American higher
education."
Under the approved
regulations, occupants of
University residence halls may,
as a part of their social
activities, hold Open House at
stated times during the year for
guests not normally visiting
residence halls including
members of the opposite sex,
parents, relatives, and faculty
frnembers.
."I am confident that a
responsible exercies of Open
House options can lead to
appropriate development of
he policy in the future," said
pay.
The policy announced
Thursday was emphasized as
being "experimental."
Bill Darrah, one of the
co-chairmen of the
Chancellor's Open House
Advisory Committee, called
the policy "a good program,
reasonable in that it is mpre
liberal than the programs of
the majority of other state
universities across the
country."
Day urged members of the
Open House Committee and
the appropriate residential
college, fraternity, and sorority
officers "to take all steps
necessary to implement the
policy as soon as possible."
"The Chancellor and others
who contributed to this
decision are to be commended
for their efforts to expand the
social opportunities for all
University residents," he
concluded.

Average price mark-up for
some thirty selected items in
the UNC Book-Ex is 95 per
cent, the Daily Tar Heel learned
Thursday on the basis
wholesale prices obtained from
a reliable source who must
remain anonymous.
For a store comparable to
the Book-Ex, the figures most
retailers consider is about 40
per cent, according to Dr. C.S.
Logsdon, professor in the
Business Administration
Department. Dr. Logsdon
speculated that the Book-Ex
would operate at a lower
mark-up, but added that "I
have no doubt the Book-Ex is
affected by competitors
downtown."
The Book-Ex has 150 per
cent mark-up on pencils, 127
per cent on composition
notebooks, and approximately
100 per cent on typing or
erasable paper. Clothing brings
in about 81 per cent profit.
Highest on the list of price
mark-ups were small desk items
such as thumb tacks, which are
bought for 14 cents and retailed
for 29 cents per box. Pencils
cost 2 cents and are sold for 5
cents. However, the Book-Ex
retails some comparable pencils
at about 8 cents a piece.
Wholesale prices for these were
unavailable.
Daily Tar Heel "shopping"
revealed that the price list Tom
Shetley, head of Student
Stores, furnished to the
Advisory Committee on
Student Stores at a meeting
Wednesday was somewhat
irregular. Shetley listed retail
prices for analysis pads bought
from the National Blank Book
Company as one doDar.
Thompson said that an open
meeting will be held inGerrard
at 8:00 p.m. Sunday.
"Anyone interested in
teaching or sponsoring
experimental courses is asked
to come to the meeting,"
Thompson said, "at which a
catalogue will be put together
containing the courses which
we hope to have accredited."

" Student Legislature passed
the resolution calling for-a
campus-wide referendum on
the proposed changes in the
Campus Code, Honor Code and
duties of the Attorney General
at its meeting Thursday Night
, Thev. bill which considered
these changes was discussed by
the representatives section by
section so that arguments
would be specific on the
different proposed areas rather
than general for the whole bilL
First of all, legislature
considered the changes in the
Honor Code. These changes
center around making offenses
of lying, cheating or stealing to
concern only actions involving
academic processes, or
University, student or
academic personnel acting in
an official capacity.
Reporting of such violations
remains part of the Honor
Code under the new section.
Secondly, the
representatives studied
redefinition of the Campus
Code. They passed this section
favorably which would make it
an offense to impare
significantly the welfare or
educational opportunities of
others in the University
community.

Code. The limitation reads,
"WTiile on campus or its
environs not to be construed to

This limitation narrows
down the locale of Campus
Code offenses to the campus
area while the part about
Orange County was added to
provide the courts with some
sort of guidelines with which
to base their limitations.
The fourth section
concerned the responsibilities
of the Attorney General in the
investigation and prosecution
of offenses.
This sections reads, "It shall
be the responsibility of the
Attorney General to investigate
all alleged violations and at the
request of the injured party dr

An amendment for a fifth
proposal was introduced by
three legislators. This proposal
would have eliminated double

student courts. It was defeated
and the bill was voted on as
introduced.

Students who are allergic to
eggs or chicken, or those who
