Cansler explained before an open meeting of the Visitation Committee with students and members of the administration how the committee understands its position in evaluating the present open-house visitation agreement. The Committee on Visitation, composed equally of faculty, students and a dministration, recommended approximately the same Open House agreement now in effect to the Chancellor last December. "We want to take a cafeful look at the administration of the policy by you who live in residence halls. We want also to know how you feel about Open House in general and our present policy in particular," Cansler said. He called for constructive thinking relative to a mutually effective Open House Policy next year. He added that no disciplinary action would be instigated by the committee for violations of the agreement revealed in the open meetings. The committee will hold two more open meetings, one Thursday at 7 p.m. in the large classroom of James Residence College, and another tentatively is planned for Monday, May 5, 4 p.m., in the union. . Cansler announced an evaluation questionnaire will be sent today to all residence hall and college officers which will "provide us this kind of information without the necessity of identifying yourself.' The questionnaire asks if open house activities have been "a good thing," if the house has received more or less or the same participation of residents, if the residents are fulfilling their responsibilities and work, if they are concerned that visitation go well for the sake of the entire community and if the house showed signs of '. ! willingness to accept restriction in order to have open house. The questionnaire also asks if "incidents" may have occurred as violations of the open house agreement. According to Bill Darrah, student co-chairman of the Visitation Committee, said the ? students at the meeting aro-eed f- the structure of the Open now in effect hard if not to carry on House policy "makes it impossible According to Darrah, the committee is "well on the way to constructing a salient argument towards getting a visitation policy the students can live with." czL'rrx 4J?'-y-i 1 . -- """ - rcssgai i t .

Town and Campus clothing store, located above the Tempo, received an undetermined amount of smoke damage. The fire was discovered by Policeman Arnold Gold at 4:15 a.m., according to Lloyd, and for a time it threatened the whole block. Three fire trucks responded to the alarm and brought the blaze under control within an hour. There were no injuries. The only injury, said Lloyd later, "was to our pride," but that's all. "The problem was getting to the fire," Lloyd said. "It was discovered in the alley because the air conditioner was pumping out smoke. There are only two entrances to the Tempo, and one is down a narrow staircase that has a bend in it," Lloyd continued. "That place was Dobbins Arrested In Weekend March ROTG Forum Set Tonight A forum on ROTC will be held tonight by the UNC chapter of the American Association of University Professors, at 8 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge of the Monogram Club.

Members of Dean Dawson's Committee on ROTC will attend this AAUP forum to observe and gather information; they will also attend Wednesday's open meeting on ROTC to be held in Gerrard Hall at 7:30 p.m. The Maryland goalie was kept busy ... ... but not busy enough 'Teach-Out9 Scheduled For Polk Place Today Black Student Movement (BSM) Preston Dobbins was arrested Saturday afternoon in Hillsborough for taking part in an illegal march, according to Hillsborough mayor Fred Cates. Cates declined to comment on the exact nature of the charges against Dobbins. He said only that Dobbins was arrested during "a march." The case appeared before a court in Hillsborough Monday, Cates said, but the trial was postponed for two weeks at the request of Dobbins' attorney. No other details were immediately available. filled with smoke." Lloyd said investigations have begun but so far officials are unable to determine how the fire started. "There was really nothing unusual about the fire," Lloyd said. Pete Galifianakis owns the Tempo Room. Town and Campus owner Bob Simpson said they would begin fumigating late Monday to try to remove the smell from the wood and clothes. There are no estimates yet as to the extent of damage at Town and Campus, according to Simpson and Lloyd. Simpson added, however, that there would "absolutely not be a fire sale." Smoke could be smelled along half the main block (north side) of Franklin Street Monday afternoon. Small crowds gathered throughout the day to survey damage. One passer-by commented on the charred remains of the Tempo, saying "It really was a great place almost an institution at UNC." Tracey. Bragg, a worker in the Tempo, said Monday that he hoped it would re-open in 40 to 60 days.

Phi Belts, KD's Top Cam pus Chest Carnival PARIS (UPI)-Charles deGaulle's resignation Monday brought some of the dire consequences he had predicted with the end of his era. The franc tumbled to its lowest level in five months and speculators betting on devaluation sent the price of gold to record heights. Politicians jockeyed for position in the struggle that will choose a new president to succeed him and determine whether France will embark on a course moving the nation closer to the United States and the countries of Western Europe. Former Premier George Pompidou, 57, and acting President Alain Poher, 60, emerged as strong candidates. De Gaulle, 78, was in silent seclusion at his country home in Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, his 11 year rule as president ended under an avalanche of votes that buried the constitutional reforms on which he had staked his political life in referendum on Sunday. uiiujuiiiiinjiiiiiiiiwiinimiiiiiiii 1 1 1 ii n i r n r i f( " v : - VA i ' '' i ' ; j " y t DeGaulle French citizens fearing a devaluation in the franc De Gaulle had fought so hard to defend brought up gold and sent its price searing to an alltime record of $49.09 per ounce, far above the official U.S. rate of $35. The franc fell to 4.9735 to the U.S. dollar, lowest since the monetary crisis last November and perilously close to the level at which the Bank of France would have to move in with support under international agreements. The need in Paris, after an initial burst of jubilation at De Gaulle's resignation by students on the Left Bank, was one of watchful waiting for the presidential elections that will probably be held on June 1. N From Washington, President Nixon sent a message to De Gaulle expressing "deep regret" over his resignation. The American chief executive said the United States wanted to maintain a "re-established and effective dialogue with the French government." In Bonn, West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt said he saw chances for progress in unifying Europe with De Gaulle's demise. Expressions came from London where Britain hoped a new French president would lower the bars De Gaulle had erected to British entry in the Common Market. erzbacher Group Discusses Languages Apparently UNC students were more interested in gambling and raffles than in alluring figures of girls and backrubs last Thursday night at the Campus Chest Carnival. The biggest money-maker was a casino. Tops in the fraternity division, Phi Delta theta, netted $860. The Phi Delt booth consisted of various forms of gambling and a raffle. Next closest to the heart of a Carolina student is his stomach as is evidenced by the Kappa Delta's $138 raised from a hot dog stand. The KD's came in first in the sorority division. Helium balloons, paper flowers, and splatter painting coped the first place prize for Granville in the residence college division. Vot -originality and overall appearance, Zeta Beta Tau, Alpha Delta Pi, and Granville were awarded trophies. Brain-child of the ZBT financial wizards, (with John Haber as major domo) a stock exchange which operated on the principles of the N.Y. Stock Exchange attracted much attention from the crowd. Companies were folding and student investors were making money in less time than it took to drink a beer. Altogether, the carnival contributed over $3000 to the campus chest. Broken down in the various categories, that figure includes: $2504 from the fraternities, $318.50 from the sororities, and $180 from the residence colleges. This figure is nearly three times the amount raised by last year's carnival. Maintaining the tradition, Chi Psi pledges once again streaked to victory (and into a Pepsi truck) in the chariot race, with Sigma Phi Epsilon close on their heels in second place. Final figures for the entire Alpha Phi Omega drive have not yet been released pending the announcement of the winners of the Ugly Man contest. Thus far, the auction and carnival alone have garnered approximately $4700. The foreign language requirement of tract one and ideas for tract two were discussed Monday evening in an open meeting between students and the Merzbacher Committee. Tract one is a more standardized course of study towards a degree, and tract two, which has yet to be decided will be a more independent course of study. Dr. Irvine Hagadorn opened discussion on the foreign language requirement, saying a lack of communication exists now between people of different countries and that the study of a language helps the individual to understand others better. He said, "I feel that some sort of requirement that will acquaint students with other countries would be beneficial." Dr. Hagadorn said courses which would bring about this understanding could be the study of the language or the study of such things as the philosophy, art and literature of a country. A student charged that the foreign language program as it exists does not fulfill the needs of the majority of students who do not feel motivated in foreign language classes as they are. He added that students should have more choice in determining the courses that they should take. A discussion followed concerning who should decide what courses must be taken in order to obtain a degree. Dr. William Hardy, sitting in for Dr. Merzbacher, who was unable to attend the meeting, said, "The reputation of the University depends on the people it produces. It is true that a majority of students who come to this University want a standardized program; then someone must decide what that program will be." The meeting moved on to a discussion of ideas for tract (Continued On Page Seven) r 7 ' a' l iVV 1s .."ii.- i: i i n t ,4 A Grim, Wet Reminder Of The Campus Chest Carnival This coed really gave her all for charity . . .
