WRC, Yack, Daily Tar Heel
Budget Cuts Okayed By SL
Student Legislature, in a
frugal mood, cut sizeable
chunks out of appropriations
for the Women's Residence
CouncU (WRC), the Daily Tar
Heel and the Yackety Yack on
Thursday night.
Total cuts in the budget on
those three requests amount to
$6,035.
After heated debate on the
WRC request, which was
carried over from last
Monday's budget session, the
leg islature cut the
appropriation almost in
half-from $895 to $460.
Debate on the Tar Heel
request centered around staff
salaries. Rep. Joe Beard moved
to put the paper on a
subscription basis, but he was
ruled out of order.
Rep. John Kelly, who also
works as a Tar Heel editorialist,
moved that the photography
appropriation be increased
from $1,000 to $1,300, the
editor's salary increased from
$700 to $800 and staff salaries
increased from $2,500 to
$3,100.
Kelly also moved to
decrease the business manager's
salary from $1,000 to $750
and the advertising manager's
from $900 to $650.
"The business manager is
underpaid for the amount of
work he does, but no student
receives the minimum wage.
This will insure that everyone
is underpaid equally," Kelly
said.
Kelly accepted an

amendment from Rep. John
Parker cutting $4,000 from the
Tar Heel's printing allotment.
Parker said this year there
would be a surplus of
approximately $8,000 in that
category.
"Cutting back $4,000,"
Parker said, "will allow us to
give money to other
organizations and at the same
time allow the Tar Heel to
publish extra features such as
the Empasis pages."
Both Kelly's and Parker's
amendments passed, cutting
the original Tar Heel request
from $39,250 to $35,750.
During consideration of the
Yackety Yack appropriation
request, Kelly asked why the
yearbook could not be placed
on a subscription basis.
Finance Committee
chairman Harry Diffendal
replied that studies indicated
that students would have to
pay more for a poorer book if
it was sold by subscription.
Kelly offered an
amendment cutting the Yack
printing allotment $2,000. He
argued that a printing cut
would not harm the Yack if it
wouldn't harm the Tar HeeL
The amendment passed,
cutting the Yack appropriation
from $55,592 to $53,592.

Kissinger will speak with
former DTH editor Wayne
Hurder, among others, in a
special conference to be held
next Tuesday in Washington,

The conference is a result of

Hurder said he was opposed
Co the draft except in cases
where the United States is
threatened from the outside,
but added he wasn't sure that
he would resist during
peace-time.
He has signed a statement
saying he intended to resist
induction.
The draft is used now only
because the nation is
overcommitted militarily,
Hurder maintains. He feels a
volunteer army is a much
better way of recruiting
soldiers.
However, Hurder does not
feel he can speak for the other
signees. Opinion is divided
among them, and many find it
"difficult to separate the
issues."
"But," he says, "it all adds
up to something very bad."
The reply, which was
received by the National
Student Association Friday,
was signed by Bud Wilkinson,
Nixon's advisor for Youth
Affairs.
The meeting itself is to
concern foreign affairs.,
Kissinger, considered the
President's best authority on
defense matters, is expected to
defend current policies such as
Viet Nam and the need for a
draft.
"We're all happy to be
getting such a quick reply and
to see someone like Kissinger,"
Hurder said. To make sure they
will not be out-argued on
technicalities, Hurder and his
compatriots have arranged for
a three day briefing session
before the conference.
Among others, Editor I.F.
Stone will drill the students on
foreign affairs starting
Saturday.

A new student-faculty-administrative
committee has
been established to review the
entire campus judicial system,
according to Student Body
President Alan Albright.
"This committee has been
set up to evaluate the judicial
system as it now exists and to
subsequently propose and
outline recommendations for
revising the system," Albright
said.
"The result must be a clear
definition of general student
rights," he added.
Student members of the
committee are Lawrence
Whitfield, Robert Mannekin,
Robert Locke, Cynthia Ricks,
and John McDowell.
Faculty committee
members include Prof. Peter F.
Walker, Prof. Rollie Tillman,
and Prof. Frank R. Strong.
Administrative
representatives are Assistant
Dean of Women Heather Ness
and Dean of Men James O.
Cansler.
"It is the hope j)f Student
Government, the Faculty
Committee on Student
Discipline and Chancellor
Sitterson that the new
committee will begin working
immediately and continue
through the summer," said
Albright.
"The campus should be
presented with a blueprint for
reform by early fall," he said.
Albright said that
committee meetings would be
open this spring for student
participation and ideas.
"Reforms arising from the
committee reevaluation will
ultimately be considered
simultaneously by the student
body, general faculty, and if
necessary, the Trustees," he
said.
Areas of committee
consideration will include
double jeopardy, specific
definition and enumeration of
offenses, and equitable
composition of student courts.
Albright said questions to
be answered by the committee
are:
Who has judicial power?
What means are used to
delegate authority?
How autonomous are
students when they make
judicial decisions?
He said the creation of the
committee grew specifically
out of the double jeopardy
controversy which remains to
be resolved by the committee.
"The Chancellor has agreed
that if any cases arise which
require a decision in this
category, all efforts will be
made to postpone it until the
committee reports its
recommendations," Albright
said.
This will be the first major
attempt at widespread reform
in the judicial system in 20
years. "The committee has the
potential of total change rather
than scattered change," he
said.

Program Of Study Outlined
Proposals for an

studies curricula were approved
by the Administrative Board of
the College of Arts and
Sciences in a meeting
Thursday.
On May 9, the proposal goes
before the Faculty
Councir-the final step before
implementation.
Professor G.B. Cleveland,
professor of political science
and head of the committee
which presented the plan,
stated that, in view of the
Administrative Board's
endorsement, he does not
anticipate "any great hassel"
over the issue.
Once passed by the Faculty
Council, the new curricula
could be implemented by next
fall, with students receiving
degrees by 1971 and possibly
even next year.
Since most of the courses in
the program will be offered
next fall whether or not the
Bachelor of Arts degree for
Afro-American or African
studies has been approved,
faculty advisors have been
telling students about the
curricula.
Most of the courses to be
offered were designed by
faculty members who are
interested in and who are
qualified to instruct in those
fields.

Professor Cleveland said,
"The Afro-American and
African studies programs will
remain part of the College of
Arts and Sciences until such
time as funds from legislative
actions will enable the
programs to attain

Probably the only problems
