couldn't shake off, hung close
to Carolina Thursday night,
but lost its second tight one in
a row to the Tar Heels.
The score in the Carmichael

GSA Criticizes Reply To BSM
The first Graduate Student
Association Newsletter has
joined in the criticism of the
administration for rejecting the
demands of the Black Student
Movement, urging Chancellor
Sitterson to re-evaluate his
statement of Jan. 24.
The GSA Steering
Committee's statement read:

Saturday Classes
Face Elimination
The University Faculty
Council will consider a
proposal to abolish all
Saturday classes at its regular
monthly meeting today at 4
p.m. in Carroll Hall.
"Right now the proposal is
to have classes only in the
tegular fifty-minute
Monday-Wednesday-Friday and
eighty-minute Tuesday-Thursday
scheme of things," said
University Provost J.C.
Morrow.
"I don't know if the
Council will accept the
proposal or change it in any
way," he added. "But it will be
before them."
Dean of Student Affairs
CO. Cathey said he feels there
is a "good chance" UNC will
eliminate Saturday classes by
Fall '69 semester.

Former President Lyndon
B. Johnson will speak on the
UNC campus sometime next
fall.
The information was
released Thursday by President
Friday and Chancellor
Sitterson after an article in this
week's U.S. News and World
Report state that "More than
50 colleges and universities
have asked the former
president to lecture. So far he
has agreed to do so at Rice
University, the University of
North Carolina, and Southwest
Texas State College, in
addition to the university of
Texas."
Wake Stays Close, But Tar Heels Win 84
The visiting Deacons, with a
deep bench, sure-to-be
all-conference guard in Charlie
Davis and sometimes
bothersome 1-2-2 zone, never
came close enough take the lead
in the second half. But then
they weren't so far behind that
they couldn't threaten.
The largest difference of the
night was 11 points, and that

Sitterson's reply to the
'demands,' the GSA must
conclude that the
Administration's responses
were, in many instances,
perfunctory, evasive, irrelevant,
and, as a whole, failed to
contend with the underlying
issues which remain unsolved."
Commenting on the
University's position that it
"I am optimistic," he said,
"that we will be able to free
Saturdays for special projects,
rather than continue them as
work days here."
Cathey, who noted that
every other part of the state is
under a five-day work week
except UNC, said the proposal
was a result of a study
conducted on a departmental
level.
The traditional method of
scheduling three class meetings
per week covering every day
except Sunday was originally
adopted during WTcrld War II
when many students were
servicemen. The idea was to
keep the University from
becoming a "suitcase school"
and to cut down on highway
accidents, according to an
administration official.
To
Speak Next Fall
Johnson will soon take a
post as "conversationalist-in-residence"
at the University of
Texas where he will conduct
seminars on various aspects of
American government.
Chancellor Sitterson said
that UNC has hoped for several
years get Johnson to speak on
campus. Then, shortly after
Johnson announced last spring
that he would not seek
re-election, the presidential
office indicated that Johnson
would like to come to UNC.
"The fact that we are a state
university in the South, which
is Johnson's part of the
country, may have had
something to do with the
decision," Sitterson said.
The Chancellor was then in
didn't come until late in the
game.
While it was Carolina's 16th
win against one loss, 8-0 in the
Atlantic Coast Conference, it
was Wake's fourth straight
tough setback. The Deacs lost
by only five to UNC in
Winston-Salem last month, and
also have recent losses to
formidable Davidson and
cannot "provide unique
treatment for any race, color,
or creed," as the principle
reason for rejecting the 24
demands, the GSA
commented, "Such a
philosophy is, of course,
commendable in principle;
however, it is only practical if
we can assume that all racial
groups on campus begin their
University career from a
position of equality such that
special consideration is not
necessary to compensate for
initial inequities."
The GSA supported the
contention of the BSM and the
New University Conference
that the UNC black students
have special needs as a
consequence of a history of
discrimination and
depravation. It called race a
"socially irrelevant variable"
and pointed out that black
students' needs "should be at
least as entitled to special
consideration as are those of
women and foreign students.
"If such special
consideration is to be denied,
how then can the Chancellor
justify the segregation of sexes
in dormitories, differential
regulations, the existence of
the International Student
Center, sororities and
fraternities, honors programs,
etc,, all of which treat
subgroups differently on the
basis of need."
The GSA Newsletter did not
comment on specific BSM
requests. "However, we express
contact with Dr. Norval Neil
Luxon, former dean of the
UNC Journalism School and
chairman of the Committee on
Established Lectures. The
committee voted unanimously
to invite the president.
It was hoped at the time
that Johnson would lecture
here during the present
semester, but Sitterson said
that this was now impossible.
President Friday is now
working with LBJ advisor Tom
Johnson to set a date for early
next fall probably in October.
Sitterson said there was a
possibility that Johnson might
appear to present the annual
Weil lecture on American
citizenship.

UNC's 10th straight win over
the Baptists.
Davis, an excellent
ball-handler and sure shooter,
was the main reason the Deacs
stayed in the game. He
controlled the tempo and was
also the game's high scorer
with 22 points.
The taller Tar Heels were
the hope that the Chancellor
will discontinue his abrogation
of responsibility by pointing to
delegated authority in various
areas of decision-making within

It also urged "discussion
rather than demands" to the
BSM as a more beneficial
approach to cooperation with
the administration.

Tom Shetley says he's eating
crow and will not live up to his
promise to lower UNC book
prices simply because the same
titles are being sold less by
independent book stores in the
area.
"We sell books at list prices
established by publishers,"
Shetley states in a statement
released by the Book-Ex
Thursday afternoon. "This is
the policy observed by a large
majority of bookstores
throughout the nation. It is the
policy officially recommended
by the National Association of
College Stores. . ."
Shetley admits this is
somewhat "inconsistent" with
both the advertisement which
appeared in the Jan. 17 Tar
Heel and with a promise he
made to SSOC organizer
aims is to provide a "forum" in
the regularly published
newsletter to combat "apathy"
among graduate students, in
which "open and candid
discussion" of issues not now
possible can be arranged.
"It is no secret," said the
GSA, "that much of the
'apathy' among graduate
students concerning their role
in the University stems from
the fact that they are afraid to
rock the boat for fear of being

"black oriented" by
September, offering courses in
black art, music and poetry.
After the students had
presented the demands to the
President of the University, Dr.
Lewis C. iW.ydy, students took
control of the administration
building declaring the
"occupation" in the name of
the student government.
As the day progressed, the
number of students in the
building decreased until only
125 were left when the
occupation ended.
There was no violence as the
students marched into the
building. They took control of
the switchboard, but later
turned it over to the regular
night operator.
The students made no
attempt to force their way into
any offices and there was no
vandalism.

front line.
Later Smith fielded his
running team with Jim Delany

Robert Lock.
The advertisement stated
that "if you find a book dealer
selling any book for less than
we sell that title, we will meet
his price."
Tuesday afternoon Lock
presented Shetley with a list of
fourteen books on sale at a
Durham bookstore for less
than the prices at the Book-Ex.
Shetley told Lock and the
Tar Heel Tuesday that he
would lower prices on the
fourteen books if the price
discrepancies on Lock's list
were correct.
With the issuance of the
policy statement, however,
Shetley announced that he
would not lower the prices.
"You can say that Tom
Shetley eats crow on this
matter," Shetley said. "I am
guilty of trying to wax rhetoric
(with the advertisement) to the
extent that a regretable
sequence of events and
misunderstanding has
occurred."
The original intent of the
' "advertising, Shetley said,-' was
with regards to general price
policies, not individual book
prices.
"WThen I said we'd meet the
prices of any bookstore in the
area and I said it, I can't deny
that I meant that if we are
unfair on our pricing policy,
then we intend to get in line."
"I will admit that it looks
inconsistent with the
advertising, but our intent was
neither cynicism nor a desire to
mislead," Shetley said. "But
we have stopped and looked at
our position, and have
recognized the need for
clarification."
Committee, at which
concessions were granted to
the students' demands, Dr.
Dowdy said, "If the Faculty
Senate feels the changes are in
the best interest of the
University, then we are for
them 100 per cent."
Just prior to the occupation,
State Representative J.F. Mohn

Ad
Book -Ex Policy
We sell new books at list prices established by publishers.
We purchase used books that will be again required on
campus for one-half of new list price and resell these books
for seventy-five percent of list. Used books that are not to
be used on campus are purchased for exactly the price they
will bring if sold to a broker.
This is the policy observed by the large majority of
bookstores throughout the Nation. It is the policy officially
recommended by the National Association of College
Stores at Oberlin, Ohio.
We believe that it is a good policy in that it is not only
fair to the student but also in that it makes it possible to
.operate an enterprise within the framework of economic
reality.
It is neither good nor prudent to operate without stated
policy. Nor can so great a responsibility as our own be
properly discharged in the atmosphere of chaos that would
result from the abandonment of good judgment in favor of
so fey a thing as Universal Popularity.
If you find it to your advantage to buy and sell your
books elsewhere we wish you well.
We hope you make an A on everything!

Rally At Noon
To Support
The Southern Student
Organizing Committee will
hold a rally in Memorial Hall
today at noon in support of
the Black Student Movement's
23 demands on the University.
Four speakers are scheduled
to address the rally which is
expected to last about an hour,
according to SSOC organizer
George Vlasits.
The purpose of the rally, he
explained is "to begin to
mobilize white support for the
BSM demands."
The speakers are Preston
Dobbins, co-chairman of the
BSM; Ron Young, a member of
the Fellowship of
Reconciliation, a non-sectarian
pacifist organization, who is
currently on a speaking tour
for the American Friends
Service Committee; Vlasits;
and an as-yet unannounced
representative of the New
University Conference.
Vlasits said that SSOC
"hopes to bring more pressure
on the chancellor and the
university to meet the BSM
demands."
"The essential thing is that
the University must change and

must become a force for
change in the community," he
explained.
"The chancellor's reply is
bad in that he retreats from
this responsibility" to become
a force for change, according
to Vlasits, a former graduate
student here and now a
full-time worker for SSOC.
"The students must take it
upon themselves to create a
university that is a force for
social change," he added.
One of the things to be
considered at the rally is the
possibility of building parallel
structures among radicals and
blacks to combat the system,"
according to Vlasits.
The BSM had presented
their 23 demands to the
Chancellor on Dec. 11. The list
included demands that
admissions requirements be
changed to eliminate alleged
biases inherent in entrance
exams, establishment of a
Department of African and
Afro-American Studies, the
firing of Dean CO. Cathey and
Howard Henry, and improved
working conditions for black
non-academic employees.
