The regular bus schedule is still in effect, emphasized McMurray. "The one basic change is that the town runs after 5:30 p.m. have been extended one extra hour from b: JO p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The buses are now running according to the following schedule: From 7:20 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., the buses leave Chase Cafeteria and Wilson Library every 5 minutes. Beginning at noon, town runs are made at 10 and 25 minutes after the hour. From 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., the buses leave Chase Cafeteria every 15 minutes for Franklin St. and the Library. Buses will return to South Campus from Franklin Street at approximately midway between quarter hour intervals (i.e. 7 minutes, 23 minutes, 37 minutes, and 53 minutes after the hour). One run will be made through Victory Village 'find Odum Village at approximately 20 minutes after the hour.

'Atrocious Housing' Here By CHERIE COX DTH Staff Writer "Premium Prices for atrocious housing in Chapel Hill!" This is the complaint of the new Bureau to Investigate Trouble in Community Housing. The Graduate Student Association (GSA) formed the bureau to deal with the problem at a meeting last Wednesday. This is one public area in which the GSA will be active this semester, according to Karl Alexander, chairman of the executive steering committee. "The tenant is powerless," Bill Bunti"n 1 m uniting South Campus with the main campus is particularly important to the residence colleges of South Campus not just for dealing with the ynyMcai tmiance dui aiso ior "a-? - physical distance but also for alienation.' McMurray stated that the campus bus system has needed an average subsidy of only $100 per month. "This is beyond our most optimistic appraisals made at the first of the year," he said. "At that time it was decided that up to $1,125 per month could legitimately be used as subsidy." Plans are now under consideration for further extension of the bus system to later hours. "Many people feel that the ultimate solution to the University's traffic and parking problem lies in an integrated and extended bus system." TkT6 iNi ixom 'President Nixon must make an "emotional commitment" to the cause of desegregation if Negro attitudes toward his administration are to change, a Washington attorney said at UNC this past weekend. Jerry Williams is the attorney who " represented North jCarolina school systems in recent HEW desegregation hearings. "Mere enforcement of ureaii said Alexander. "He has no means to compel realtors (or landlords) to make needed improvements and repairs." This lack of power is related to the scarcity of off-campus housing, the ineffectiveness of housing codes and the expense of legal counsel, according to Alexander.

"Publicity and external pressure might move" the landlord to make needed, repairs . when individual pressures " prove useless," Alexander said. ...... The landlord will be notified of the complaint received and asked for an explanation or corrective action. Theoretically, certain pressures, are to be used to assure the bureauls effectiveness: publication, of complaints and replies, open complaint files and for consultation notification of the university's housing offices. Interested students should be willing to have their names used in specifying complaints to landlords. Complaints . should include the following: name, address, telephone number, complaint (to be verified by the bureau), landlord's name and his address. They should be mailed to GSA, Box 26, Student Union Building, Campus. The GSA, according to Alexander also intends to take action concerning library fees and staffs and the salary of teacher's assistants. Coeds Give By EVE STEVENSON DTH Staff Writer Coeds living in five dorms which held visitation for the first time this past weekend had opinions of the policy ranging from "really successful" to "just nonsense."

Chang e be expected to carry out the desegregation rulings he inherited from the Johnson administration. "If this causes Negroes to feel Nixon is supporting them, his image may change" he said. But Chambers said that "unless the new administration puts capital in the hands of minorities and reduces unemployment, the, image will remain the same. Merely mixing blacks in classrooms with whites . will not make , ; them effective components of society." " Both Chambe.rs and Williams felt Nixon was still undecided about how to fianctle'desegregation. "He will soon have to "choose his course," said Williams.

Compromise Made On Duke Demands From Wire Dispatches Duke University officials announced Monday " they would meet black students' demands including the establishment of an Afro-American studies program in return for withdrawal of a request for "amnesty:" The Afro-American society had demanded aimresty for the 40 students who barricaded themselves in the University's main administration building last Thursday. Few of. the occupiers have been identified. The University promised: to seek a significant "It was really good," said one girl "But I think people should treat it more naturally. I think everyone enjoyed it." Another girl in Alderman said, "It was really successful. There was no complaints. I think., it will pass for March. There were no problems' with boys in the halls." - Reactions in East Cobb were not so affirmative: "There was too much formality. People make too much of it. All the girls were looking for who the girls were -with," said one girl. "I doubt it will pass for March because so many girls didn't have dates."

One girl said, "I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was handled very.wejl. There were about eight boys on our hall." Another coed in Joyner said, "It went very well. We played bridge and poker. There was a congenial atmosphere." Kenan was open for visitation on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The girls there felt rm 91 erson o Mee Bv MIKE COZZA DTH Staff Writer Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson agreed Monday to meet with UNC students within the next week and a half for discussions of grievances on various aspects of campus life. The Chancellor also said that President Friday and other university officials would attend the meeting. Sitterson made the decision in response to a committee of four students sent to talk with him Monday afternoon by a group of about 300 meeting in Gerrard Hall. The Chancellor had agreed to meet with the representatives last Friday after approximately 100 students conducted a brief occupation of South Building. The Gerrard Hall meeting had been called by radical organizations. UAWMF leader Andy Rose called the meeting to order and said, "Were going to ask him (Sitterson) nicely one last time." Rose said that Adolph Reid, Mickey Lewis, John Steiger, and Sam Austell would try to set up a meeting with the Chancellor while the group waited. While the four were gone; Rose opened the "floor for discussion on exactly what students wanted to talk with administrators about. Mentioned from the floor were: Making all courses pass fail Elimination of all -discriminatory rules agjiinst women ' . f . Abolition of the m general college Cessation of "illegal entry and inspection of dormatories." The group also discussed what might be done if the lt"s 111V tliril. . That's what Lee the frequency of open-house should be cut down. "I have a pretty negative opinion of it," said a Kenan girl. "One girl brought up five boys who were all drunk. We were disturbed. A girl feels she can't go in her own room if her roommate has a date in there. I play to vote against it next time." Another girl said. "I think it is too frequent. That means no studying. I don't care if it passes for March, but I don't want it to be so often." "It got out of hand," said one girl. "Beer cans were in windows. Someone got into the kitchen and spilled eggs all ' over the walls. I think it could I 7 jt. . .f ... .... M I ; r. t : - ; -;!..: , ? . ; .- - . J Chancellor refused to set up a meeting. "There's only one real issue here," Rose told the group, "power in this university. We cannot let the administration give us minor demands such as visitation, which they crippled and bogged down in red tape." Rose said that the Afro-American SoieU; at 'Duke got virtually all they asked for. after they seized Allen Building last Thursday. The committee sent to talk with the Chancellor returned in about a half hour. John Steiger announced that Chancellor Sitterson had agreed to meet with students, along with President Friday, several Two Schools Receive Funds Two departments at the University of North Carolina received supplementary funds last week totaling over a quarter of a million dollars. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) in W'ashington granted UNC $257,000 for planning of better health services for the people of North Carolina and the southeastern region. The UNC School of Journalism received a check for $20,862 Journalism representing Foundation investment earnings and gifts by foundation members. Dr. William S.

Girls in Spencer generally approved of visitation. One girl said, "It worked well here. There was no trouble with abiding by the rules. I hope it passes for next month, but they may cut down on the Fridays." "J. thought . it was a marvelous policy. We met a lot of people. We had some place to go," said another girl in Spencer. Whitehead girls enjoyed a quiet, successful weekend of visitation according to several girls. "It went real well in this dorm. A lot of people came on Agrees tmdeiit university deans, and with representatives of the "black, non-academic university community." Steiger said the meeting would be held sometime in the next week and a half, probably in Memorial HalL He said the meeting would be open to anyone who wanted to attend or express an opinion.

That is all fine and good, but now we have to decide what we want for ourselves." provision, urban and liberal." The planning for better health services will be from neighborhoods to cities, to the state and national levels. The program calls for intensive field-site collaboration with local health planning councils in southeastern states. Field training and consultation will involve students and faculty in the range of practical problems being tackled by health "p ioi essionals and others currently working to raise levels of community health.

I felt no inconvenience," said one girl. Another coed in Whitehead said, "I liked it very much. The only difficulty was with the housemother. She didn't understand the duties of the hostesses. She didn't want them to date. But there was really no inconvenience to the girls as a whole." These dorms, including Parker, will continue to hold visitation throughout February. The girls in each dorm will vote to decide whether to hold open-house during March. .
