Project Opportunity, according to Garriss, is an educational advancement program for disadvantaged children who would otherwise not finish high school, much less college. "Students are chosen during the seventh grade on the basis of their intellectual and academic achievement," he said. Garriss said most of the students chosen for the project would probably not have finished high school without the guidance and tutorial services offered by the project. "The aim of the project is to keep these students in school," said Garriss. The project, administered by the Educational Improvements Project of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, is presently operating through 11 centers in eight Southern states. Garriss indicated that the project is designed to encourage underprivileged students to further their education, whether it be in attending college or taking vocational training. The students, all blacks, will arrive on the campus at 2:30 p.m. Thursday. From 3 to 4:30 p.m. the students will tour the campus. Several departments have agreed to take the students on tours. The children will be a 1 1 e n d i ng classes wherever possible," said Garriss. "The children will attend classes and tour departments according to their personal interests." The students will eat dinner in the Pine Room before they leave for home. Garriss asked that any students interested in being a guide for the children, primarily between the hours of 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. should contact either him or the Office of Admissions.

Students Here Voice Varying Opinions On Living Conditions In Local Elections rm jLoaay By AL THOMAS DTH Staff Writer Chapel Hill voters are expected to turn out in record numbers today to elect a mayor, four aldermen and four school board members. The mayoral race between Howard Lee and Roland Giduz has been one of the most hotly contested in recent years. Both candidates were optimistic and weary Monday, both expecting victory. "We entered the race expecting victory and still have that confidence." Giduz said Monday. "It's been a very good campaign but a very hard one since 1 had exactly 10 days to build my own organization." Lee also felt optimistic, declaring, "We've conducted an awfully good campaign and I feel that at this point we're running a little better than even with our opponent." Both men feel that the issues have been thoroughly discussed but Lee does make an exception. "One of my greatest concerns." Lee said, "is that not enough attention has been focused on the salaries and benefits of city employees. They are underpaid and this needs immediate attention." Lee will have party at beginning tonight. an open his headquarters around 8:30 p.m. Major issues in this campaign are housing programs, planning and zoning, power of the business bloc and New UNC Cheerleaders, selected recently, are: First row Rabbit Giles, Wendy Boulton, Kathy Howe, Cathe Herman, Shorty. Henson (Head), Fredda Thompson, Carol Skinner, Betsy Rogers, Judy Hippler, Second row Fred Cline, Steve Simmons, Tracy Warner, Gunnar Froemen and Bernie Oakly.

SL Passes Resolution To Extend Bus System By BOB ARRINGTON DTH Staff Writer The Student Legislature has passed a unanimous resolution calling for extension of the campus bus service. The bill was introduced last Thursday by Representatives Mark Evens, Richie Leonard, Charles Jeffress, Gumnar Fromen, Harry Diffendal, and Larry Passar. The bill calls for the University administration to "carefully consider" the proposal for extended service recommended by the Student Transportation Committee (STCj. A number of faculty and student organizations, including the Residence College ' Federation, the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Residence Colleges and the Women's Residence Council, have endorsed the proposals. The new system would operate as much as the present one, but service would be extended to weekends and until women's closing hours. Both Harry Smith, head of the committee on residence colleges, and Katherine Carmichael, Dean of Women, expressed hope that the bus system would be extended. They were joined by Student Body President Alan Albright and by Vice-President Raphael Perez. John McMurray, chairman of the STC, admitted that the extended sen-ice "will require substantial use of funds." The STC is requesting $3,000-$3,500 a month from the University to cover the overtime expenses of late service. However, McMurray does not anticipate ever having to use this much. McMurray cited the broad No More Open support for the measure and the fact that current funds have rarely been touched as indications that the new services would be almost self supporting. Only $4,000 of the $1,125 per month presently allocated by the University for the bus system has been spent to date. Speaking for the Transportation Committee, McMurray said the new sen ices would aid the University in three ways. "First, it would help fill empty rooms on South Campus. Second, it would provide needed transportation for coeds who will be living there next year. Third, it will be a good long-range solution to the parking problem," said McMurray. The Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Parking and Traffic will make its recommendations to the Chancellor later this week, McMurray said. The Chancellors decision is expected shortly thereafter. the open storm drain along Mitchell Lane. A major effort in Lee's campaign has been to point to discrepancies between Giduz's present statements and his voting record in regard to INCHL'CO (a low-cost housing program), bloc voting with business groups and the Mitchell Lane problem. The Giduz. campaign push has often been directed at Lee's relative inexperience in Chapel Hill government and Giduz's 12-year membership on the Board of Aldermen. Giduz resigned his seat Monday. Seven candidates are vying for four scats on the Board of Aldermen. Joe Nassif. Ross Scroggs. J. Nelson Callahan, George Coxhead, Steve Bernholz, and incumbents Mary Prothro and Robert Varley are the candidates. Three of the seats are for a four-year term with the other seat a two-year term (Giduz's recently vacated seat). The nine School Board candidates are after four open seats. Two six-year terms, one four year term and one two-year term are open. The only incumbent running is Norman Weatherly. The other candidates are Marvin Silver, Everett Billingsley, Mrs. Jewel Blackwood, Ross Farrington, Samuel Holton, Mrs. Frances Rose, Norman Weatherly. Mrs. Lattice Vickers and Wallace Womble. The polls opened today at 6:30 a.m. and will close at 6:30 p.m. Precinct polling places are: East Franklin. Chapel Hill Public Library; Northside, Fire Station No. 1; Estes Hills, Guy Phillips Junior High; Westvvood, Lincoln School; Glenwood, Glenwood School; Country Club, Woollen Gym. V isitation No GC Requirements M eetings Voted Subject Of Petition By NANCY STANCILL DTH Staff Writer Ari students satisfied with University living conditions? Students living off campus and in University housing expressed their views yesterday. Jtrrry Greene, freshman, physics, Asheville, Morrison Dorm-"I don't like living on South Campus because of the inconvenience. I can't afford to take a bus every time I leave the dorm. But dorm living is fun because you meet a lot of people." Susan Bow n-Hassell, graduate student in American History, New York, off tanpus "My husband and I rent half a house in Chapel Hill.

The facilities are good and visitation helps. But the University shouldn't stick all the freshmen out in James." Kit Barber, graduate student in economics, Charleston, S.C., off campus "I moved off campus for privacy, entertainment and cooking. Chapel Hill rents are generally high, and it isn't easy to find apartments. The University should provide apartment housing for single students." Mike Menius, senior, French, China Grove, ISC "1 enjoy living in the International Student Center because of the aliveness. There is a lot happening there and you meet many interesting people." Tom Fleming, graduate student in classics, Charleston, S.C., off campus "I moved out of a dorm because I like to live a private lifa I dislike the ugliness, limited space and supervision in dorms. Being cooped up with six floors of male students is undesirable. But in Chapel Hill, it is hard to find an apartment. I live in Carrboro and the maintenance is terrible." Lewis Jackson, sophomore, psychology, Durham, James Dorm "Dorm living depends a lot on your floor. The trend is to move out of dorms but Chapel Hill rents are very high." campus "One reason I live in an apartment is because I have a dog. Chapel Hill rents are high but not as high as Atlanta. Here I pay $125 for a three-room house while in Atlanta it would cost me $175." Tony Scott, freshman, English, Burlington, Lewis Dorm "I'm moving into an apartment as soon as I can. Monasteries are definitely going out of style." By HARRY BRYAN DTH Staff Writer The Visitation Committee voted Monday in a closed meeting to discontinue open meetings with students, committee co-chairmen Bill Darrah and Dean of Men James O. Cansler announced. The decision was not unanimous. The committee also decided to hold another closed meeting Monday and to formulate its recommendation at that time. Darrah said the primary reason for discontinuing the open meetings was a lack of time. Darrah said the committee must make recommendations concerning the visitation policy by the end of the semester, or there will be no visitation next year. The current recommen dation policy expires at the end of this semester, Darrah said. Dean Cansler pointed out that the student committee members did not want to meet during exams and that many are tied up with other committees. Dean Cansler said that through student questionnaires, monthly evaluations, private conversation and the two open meetings with students, "we have probably heard most of the constructive ideas and complaints concerning visitation." He said the committee had learned quite a bit in the open meetings which he said had been "very open, very constructive and very specific "We all hope that we can come up with a recommenda tion that will be less involved, less red-tapey and less complicated," Dean Cansler said. "We hope we can draw up recommendations that will be mutually agreeable to everyone." The Academic Development Committee will meet tonight in 111 Murphey at 7:30 to draw up a petition concerning General College requirements, group spokesman Joe Polin, announced Monday. Polin said the petition to be formulated will contain suggestions concerning General College requirements, namely that no courses be required. . "We're going to formulate a petition. We're going to decide how we want to present it. And we're going to get up the manpower to support it," Polin said. Polin said the committee, which has been working with the Merzbacher Committee to present "student alternatives" believes that "no students should be forced to take any course and that a petition will be formulated to endorse this belief." "If the General College was supposed to create the inquisitive 'educated fian', then in my opinion it has failed," he said. "Talking to students in the dormitories, I have spoken with many who spent two years studying General College courses and haven't spent two hours examining the desirability, relevance, and efficacy of those courses." - "But what can a poor boy do, 'Cept to sing for a rock and roll band?
