Volupe 76, Number 152 Mitchell Issue Acquires New Sentiment By AL THOMAS DTH Staff Writer The Mitchell Lane open storm drain issue has taken on a kind of motherhood, God and country tone, according to Dr. Sidney Conn of UNC's Dept. of City Planning. "The Chapel Hill city officials all say that something has to be done," Cohn said, "but the real question is whether action will be now or two years from now." Cohn was commenting on the recent history of the storm drain but more specifically on recent meetings with city Aldermen and other agencies connected with the problem. Cohn said that he and a portion of his class have been working in the community around Mitchell Lane all year as technical consultants to the residents and trying to build a community spirit. A meeting Tuesday night for the Northside-Tanyard Branch Improvement Committee was called, according to Cohn, to build a grass roots movement before the presentation of a renewal program to the aldermen May 12. They were unable, however, to get a commitment from any city official that was at the meeting. The County Health Officials' at the meeting, Cohn said, reported that their tests showed no organic matter in the open part of the drain. Dr. Dan Okum of UNC's School of Public Health then stood up, Cohen said, and stated there is organic pollution and presented his case to prove it. Cohn remarked "That's about the only thing we solved last night that there is definitely organic pollution." The city develop other IS trying to issues, VVllll said, "to avoid having to make a decision. Any temporary stop-gap measure they might want would eventually cost the town much more. It's just too large and extensive a program." Cohn said he and his workers are advocating a program that would resolve the problem more quickly than a long-term redevelopment Senior Scholarship To Get Portion Of Cap, Gown, $$ Charlie Farris, president of the Senior Class, said Wednesday that one dollar of the six dollars charged by the Student Stores for cap and gown rental will be channeled Visitation Move To The site of the open Visitation Committee meeting, originally planned tonight in a classroom in James, has been moved to the large social room in Morrison, committee member Bob Forbes announced Wednesday. The meeting will run from 7 to 9 o'clock. The visitation policy as it now exists and possible changes in policy will be discussed. Forbes said that all dorm officers and interested persons are invited to attend. 'Anybody who has anything to say doesn't have to worry about anything he has done during visitation," Forbes said. "Dean Cansler and the Lani program. Four major areas for funds are being overlooked, Cohn said, because the town is in a single-minded tract. Fritz Mock and Al Wroblewski, two graduate students in Cohn's class studying the open drain, added they thought a $100,000 bond passed last May in Chapel Hill would be focused in this area. Instead, they explained, a large tract of land was bought with $31,000 of the bond money by the city. "Well present the program we and the Tanyard Branch residents worked on to the Board of Aldermen May 12," Cohn continued. "There is just no economic or technical reason to block success."

The Gallery Committee selects art works for the w MC To Establish New Comacil By KAREN JURGENSEN DTH Staff Writer Monday night the Women's Residence Council (WRC) took the first in a series of steps to abolish itself and to replace WRC with the Association of Women Students (AWS). A proposal passed in the WRC meeting gives the executive committee the "go-ahead" to set up the new system. By next fall, WRC President Joyce Davis hopes to present the council with a constitution for the AWS. Once the constitution is ratified by the WRC, the organization will dissolve and the new AWS will take its place. Miss Davis said the AWS will have an orientation completely different from the present council. AWS is intended to educate women on this campus in order to build up their individual identity as women, she added. The proposal reads, in part, This proposal should through a structure provide a means of meeting the needs and concerns of all women students. "We maintain that this association must meet the unique educational needs of women. W7omen must identify, explore, develop, and utilize their individual potentials as women. "Women should fulfill their roles as educated and competent persons throughout their lives. They must involve themselves in the world and its society. This Association should be designed to help a woman examine her role as a woman." Miss Davis said the new organization will be based on direct communication and direct involvement. Communication through representation is designed to give each coed a voice in all . matters concerning women students, she said. Miss Davis proposes an executive committee to make policy recommendations to the entire association and to represent all its members. Standing committees will provide an outlet for involvement, according to Miss Selects Others Union's South Gallery and coordinates art contests and shows. Revelle Gwyn, a junior from Winston-Salem, will head the Music Committee. She will set up small musical programs of all types.

Social Committee Chairman Doug Childs, a junior from Pittsburgh, Pa., will be in charge of combo parties, coffeehouses, the Great Pumpkin Contest and other events. Haber said besides heading their committees, the chairmen are also members of an overall Board. The Board as a group coordinates activities such as Jubilee. "Over sixty students applied for committee chairmanships, about double the number from last year," Haber said. "We were very pleased with the turnout" Haber said the committee chairmen would be holding interviews for committee members within the next few . weeks or next fall. "We hope students will be interested in working with the committees," he said. Davis. Seven committess have been tentatively proposed. Chairman of these committees will sit on the executive committee. The rules committee will examine each rule and make necessary revisions. This committee will handle the work of the present WRC. The other are designed six committees to educate the women at UNC, to make them stop and think and to realize their individual identity, Miss Davis said. The proposed are judicial, committees institutions, council relations, status of women, ways and means and education. CHHS 'Festival' Continues Today By TOM GOODING DTH Staff Writer The Humanities Festival at Chapel Hill High School began yesterday and according to Mrs. Linda Barnard, director of the festival, "It went beautifully." The Festival, which consists of over 500 various activities, is being held in lieu of classes at the high school for the remainder of the week. Mrs. Barnard said, "Most of the students were tremendously excited. There was very little trouble in getting them to the right place. For the most part they were thrilled about the idea." Besides the benefits the festival has given the students, Mrs. "Barnard also felt that the faculty has learned a great deal from the first day of activities. "We learned that if you give students topics that they are interested in, the response is just beautiful. "Students will follow directions, be quiet and generally cooperative if they are interested in the subjects. This fact was evident throughout the day." Concerning the younger generation in general, Mrs. Barnard said, "A lot of people say the younger generation is rude and unappreciative, but this is untrue. The students were very gracious to all the speakers who had given their time to be with them." Today's list of activities includes the showing of the movie "Birth of a Nation" in the uncut four-hour version. "Students were just clammering to get in to see this movie," according to Mrs. Barnard. Former Duke University President Dr. Douglas Knight will deliver a speech on "Student Unrest" in the school library at 2:30 p.m. At the same time, Dr. George Baroff, UNC professor of psychology, will show and discuss a movie on "Mental Retardation"; John Stump, ESP specialist at Duke University, will deliver a lecture on ESP; and Dr. Harold McCurdy, a Kenan Professor of psychology at UNC, will deliver a lecture on Sigmund Freud. In addition to the speeches and movies today, "there are a good many activities that involve small groups where specialists work on an individual level with students," said Mrs. Barnard. "I think that the one thing the faculty is trying to gain from this festival is to get some insight into what makes students interested and then try to apply this in future courses," she added.
