By BOBBY NOWELL DTH Staff Writer The newly formed Free University Committees, involving various radical groups on campus, will attempt to build a radical analysis of the University in society through group discussion, study, and planning. "The idea evolved out of a meeting last February," said SSOC organizer George Vlasits. "We will try to develop the idea of the University as a source of social change. Out of our last two months experience (with the BSM, the workers' strike) we will determine what kinds of changes we want to see and what tactics can produce these changes." Vlasits said the effort, which"will be directed mainly to people within the radical as commented. He outlined activities strategies and remainder of planning year, as the group "planning tactics for the this year and programs for next well as educating ourselves to the understanding community," will be the major of the University focus of Leftist activity for the remainder of. this school year.

Works By TOM GOODING DTH Staff Writer A graduation dance heads the list of ctivities planned by the Senior Class for the remainder of the year. The dance will be held on April 18 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the Great Hall of the Student Union. There will be no admission charge. Music for the dance will be provided by the Alpacas, who are described as a "good, all-around band" by Charles Farris, Senior Class president. The dance will be a formal, black-tie affiar and at least one person in each couple should be a senior. Farris said, "This will be the first time in 15 to 20 years that the senior class has held a graduation dance. We are encouraging every senior to get a date and to come to the dance. "This will be one of the last times our class will be able to get together. We want to make this a senior affair. After all, we have earned over $600 during the past year for the dance. "We thought about this dance for a long time. We asked many seniors what they thoughtabout a formal dance and most agreed; so we decided to hold it as a formal affair." Farris also said any money not spent on the dance will go into the Senior Class scholarship fund. "The scholarship fund, which is the Senior Class gift to the University, is for underprivileged and needy students. The fund currently has approximately $2,700 in it," said Farris. "Contributions are coming in from individuals, faculty members, seniors and campus organizations. We are glad the money is coming in, even though it is coming in slowly. "We would like toncourage every senior who has not contributed the $1 asked of him to please do so soon." Contributions for the scholarship should be sent to 1969 Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 1080, Chapel Hill, N.C. "Arrangements will be made later concerning caps and gowns. We've had a few calls concerning them and we just want to tell the members of the class that its still too early to worry about this," said Farris. Concerning graduation, Farris said, "We are encouraging all seniors to make plans now to attend baccalaureate and graduation. This class has been through a lot of things together, and we would like to see a huge turnout for graduation. "Graduation means a lot to the families, and it should mean a lot to us. This is a one-shot deal; we will never graduate from college again so we hope all seniors will come." and university students who desire "on the spot training in courses related to the Spanish-American language, civilization, and area."

SoluUom Sought For Doctor Paucity By KAREN JURGENSEN DTH Staff Writer EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of a two-part series concerning the proposals of the Committee on the Physician Shortage in Rural North Carolina. A previous story dealt with the findings of the group. In an effort to lessen the acute shortage of physicians in North Carolina the Committee on the Physician Shortage in Rural North Carolina has made the following proposals which directly affect the medical school and hospital at UNC-CH. Resolutions now in committee in the state legislature call for additional funds so that the Medical School of the University of North Carolina can finance its planned expansions, should they be approved. "The three medical schools in the State must increase their output of physicians by increasing the number of intering students, accelerating the educational process, and orienting medical education toward practice." Further budgr.t requests are included in the resolutions of the University Medical School for "(a) State support of the Medical School's Division of Education and research in Community Medical Care, in order to continue the overdue development of the Medical School affiliation with community hospitals and extension into community medical care; (b) the Special Teaching Program for North Carolina Medical Students in order to continue to give preference to applicants from North Carolina as the size of classes increases; and (c) Education of Personal and Family Physicians, in order to expand the outpatient or ambulatory teaching facility of the school for attracting and training family physicians. "A professor of Family Medicine should be established at the University Medical School for the recruitment and training of family physicians and for the development of affiliated model practice units in North Carolina communities." The committee requests $127,554 to implement the proposal. "Legislation should be enacted authorizing osteopathic physicians to apply for and obtain licenses to practice medicine and surgery in North Carolina, by adding a D.O. to the Board of Medical Examiners and requiring D.O.'s to write the same examination as M.D.'s. "400-bed referral hospitals in the eastern and western Parts of the state for the teaching of groups of 50 students each during their clinical years to enable the University Medical School to expand to 200 students,', are also planned. Finally, the committee calls a resolution encouraging the continuing study of the health manpower needs of the State. Special attentionshould be given to delivery of primary medical care, medical transportation problems, and other distribution and supply problems involved with the availability of medical care for state citizens. The general feeling in the med school seems to be that the future of the school hinges on these proposals. If the school is to supply the state with enough doctors to keep up with the national average (or to even, catch up with it) it seems these proposals must be adopted. fry- w-' T - .S --0 vw- ""- s " -" " - f. .
