The student body goes to
the polls today to decide the
future of UNC affiliation with
the National Student
Association (NSA).
The question, as phrased on
the ballot, is "Shall the student
body of UNC disaffiliate with
the National Stnripnt
Association?"
The referendum was
initiated by a petition
campaign led hy Student
Legislators Joe Beard and John
Parker, both from Craige
Residence College.
Today's referendum is not
the first time NSA affiliation
has been questioned here. In a
1964 referendum students
chose to remain bv a vote of
2,966 to 2,471.
This year opinions on the
organization have ranged from
strong support to strong
opposition. Central in the fight
has been the question of
funding. Opponents feel NSA
is not worth the investment.
Supporters believe it is.
Student Legislator Parker is
on record saying, "I think we
can get the benefits that NSA .
offers even if we aren't in NSA.
So if we can get the benefits
without membership, we
. should disaffiliate.
"If you look at the budget,
you will see that the National
Student Association has some
$3,000 and that a lot of old,
e stablished campus
organizations are being cut
off," Parker said.
In reply to the funding
complaint, Buck Goldstein,
NSA vice-chairman for the
region, says, "WThen we talk
about the cost of affiliating
v with NSA, it is a -matter of
$197. And NSA President Bob
Powell has said the dues for
NSA membership will probably
be eliminated by next year.
"I probably agree that we
should cut down on "the
students sent to conventions."
Powell wras Student Body
President here two years ago.
The major part of the NSA
budget from student legislature
covers delegates' expenses to
national NSA conventions and
congresses, according to NSA
campus co-ordinator Virginia
Carson.
"Tne majority of the students
give up their time in the
summer and get something out
of the congresses. When they
return to their campuses, they
use what they have learned to
benefit the whole school"
Student legislator Beard,
complained that "there have
been no tangible benefits from
the congresses."
Sowers replies that "the
NSA does more for students on
this campus than any other
organization. The trouble is
that much is done behind the
scenes."
This year and in past
semesters the NSA has been
involved in the pass-fail
controversy, the experimental
college, the Merzbacher
committee, freshman
orientation and course-teacher
evaluation.
The organization has also
given legal advice concerning
the double jeopardy issue and
draft counseling.

At-Larse Courts
Seek
A
pproval After Defeat
By DON INGALLS
DTH Staff Writer
Students will vote today on
a Constitutional referendum
which, if passed, would allow
Student Legislature to establish
at-large districts to elect
representatives to the Men's
and Women's Honor Courts.
The purpose of the
amendment, according to its
supporters, is to allow
subsequent legislation in to
establish an all black court
district.
Black

said the BSM would
such an
than pushing
arrangement
for a
separate, all black court
system.
Passage of the referendum
would also allow7 the student
body president to appoint, at a
defendant's request, up to
three additional persons (of his
own race) to sit as HonoT
Court members for a specific
case under consideration.
The amendment originally
introduced into Legislature
three weeks ago and failed
because it did not receive the
vote necessary to
Constitutional
amendment.
At that time, Rep. Charles
Jeffress, who conferred with
Law Professor Kenneth
Penegar in drafting the
proposal, told the Legislature,
"The question here is simple:
Can we justify an all white
court, which is what we have
now? If not, we need to put
blacks on the court, and this
bill allows us to do that."
Rep. Joe Beard, who
opposed the resolution,
charged that the purpose of the
bill vrn racial dlo riminatior.
and va, therefore, illegal.
The bill was reconsidered at
the following week's meeting
and passed on a 20-3 roll call
vote.
The Legislature moved
privileges of the floor to Juan
Coffield, a Black Student
Movement (BSM) spokesman.
Coffield said, "Black students
do not have confidence in the
' "present system."
Beard stated that Negroes
could be elected in regular
districts, as evidenced by the
election of a Negro legislator in
Morrison.
Coffield countered, "The
black student elected to
Legislature has disassociated
himself from the majority of
black students If he had not
done this, he wouldn't have
been elected.
Bears said Monday
afternoon that if the
referendum passed, "it would
still require an act of
Legislature to establish a black
district, and I would oppose
such an act. Should such a
district be established. I expect
it would be challenged in
cour;-federal, state or student
court."
BSM Chairmin Reggie
Hawkins said Monday tl.at il
the referendum failed, the
"black courts would remain in
effect."
Kelly Alexander, hed of
the UNC chapter of NAACP, .
has written to the Department
of Health, Education and
Welfare (HEW) for a ruling on
the establishment of a black
district. He was expected to
confer with HEW officials
yesterday or today in
- Washington.

and conventions "provide
invaluable training for student
leaders."
It is necessary for NSA
delegates to attend these
conventions, Miss Carson says,
a:
Vietnam uuminuea.
This is the substance of a
statement which will be made
public at 11 a.m. today in
.Washington.
Signed by over 250 student
so that they will know how to body presidents and editors of
handle situations that arise on
this campus and how those
situations were handled on
other campuses, she added.
Parker said, "I don't think
these conventions do anything
for the student body . . . they
are good for the people who
go, but they don't add to the
prestige of the University."
In defense of the national
congresses, Bill Sowers, NSA
campus papers, including
former DTH Editor Wayne
Hurder, the statement says
only two alternatives are open
to those facing induction into
the armed services.
The first alternative is
induction into the armed
forces. This choice is thought
irresponsible by the signees,
because they find it "hard to

personal integrity and
conscience."
The second alternative is to
refuse induction, which they
believe contrary to their
respect for law and which
involves injury to their
personal lives and careers.
The statement adds that
because there is no third
alternative, they will act
according to their conscience
and refuse induction and aid
those who decide to refuse it.
The statement calls for
some form of alternative
service to be initiated for those
who will not fight in Vietnam.
A letter to President Nixon,
attached to the statement calls
for talks to begin between
America's leaders and its
"young critics" concerning the
nation's Vietnam and draft
policies.
Citing the urgency of the
matter, the letter says it is now
necessary to make public the
statement on the war and the
draft.
"This matter requires that
we take cur case to you (the
President) and the American
public."
In 1966, 100 student body
presidents and college
newspaper editors wrote
former. President Johnson to
raise questions then troubling
the student community about
the course of the United
States' Vietnam policy.
Again in 1967, 200 student
presidents and editors tried to
report the seriousness of the
"pervasive deterioration" of
youth's trust in the nations
leaders.

When first riding by the open storm drain, it doesn't seem like
anything is there but an ordinary ditch.
After stopping and walking to it, however, that first
conception quickly fades. Warm days bring out the stench and
insects, while on cold days only the blackness and trash tell of
something more than a common ditch.
Mitchell Lane is in a black section of Chapel Hill. Running
alone this street from Lindsay Road northward is an open storm
firain receiving water from one-fourth of Chapel HilL
"A storm channel that is as deep and wide as this one naturaily
creates a public health hazard," according to a researcher at
UNC's Public Health Department.
"Besides the danger of accidents and drownings, the water
itself is contaminated. Sewage and other organic matter is
somehow flowing down and into the open section.
"Rats, flies and mosquitoes breed m that filth, the researcher
continued. "You could just take a book on irfectious diseases
and start checking them off, he said. "Potentials for tncephaltii

Chapel Hill City Manager Robert Peck outlined the city's
position.
"If they would pay for the pipes, we would provide the labor,
Peck said. That's our policy for the whole town. There are plans
by the University Planning Department, however, to clear up the
area and turn it into a park. But that's still in the discussion and
planning stage. .
"The land really isn't worth the expense of pipes, ne
concluded. "And there's no evidence yet to indicate a sewer
getting mixed up in it."
Joseph Nassif , local architect and candidate for city alderman,
was contacted as to land potential.
"Since 1960 land value in Chapel Hill has increased over two
and one-half times. Land this close to town, even though it's not
really developed, is worth a lot of money," Nassif said. He then
switched to wrhat he called the most important aspect.
"Even if land wasn't worth anything, the value of PPf
should be considered. We can't keep saying to morrow.' It s -imperative
we get immediate action on what has become an
intolerable situation," he said.
Problems in the Mitchell Lane area are growing, according to
neighborhood residents.
