Volume 76 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1969 Number 4 Four tli Gala ISC 'Swings' No More The University Physical Plant recently removed a swing from a tree in the circle in front of By num Hall and the International Student Center. The swing, consisting of a board and a $14 rope, had been placed In the tree by ISC students earlier this spring. Also removed was a badminton net owned by a woman student. Bill Smith, chairman of the ISC, reported that he woke up about 7:30 a.m. one morning and noticed a University grounds crew removing the equipment, but by the time he got downstairs the crew, and the swing, had gone. He and another ISC student later retrieved the swing and net from the physical plant office. "That circle is the only lawn we have," moaned Smith. Physical Plant Director Walter Hamilton stated that he had ordered the swing removed because," I could not find anyone who had given them an authorization to put it up." He said he had visited Dean CO. Cathey, Allen Waters, Vice Chancellor Claiborne Jones, and the chairman of . the Buildings and Grounds Committee without success. Hamilton added that he almost got in trouble, "for leaving it up as long as I did." Besides, he said, "the rope was killing the bark on the tree." He advised the ISC to ask the committe for authorization to build another swing, "not, of course, on the tree," and added that a walkway would have to be built through the wall surrounding the circle. ,..Ti V ISC Tree Stands Vacant l. ...jr.nay .: i . 1 fi&- I , r?

Dorms Lack Alarms Following a fire in Aycock Dorm last week, Tt was learned that many of the men's dorms have no fire alarm system or instructions for clearing the buildings in case of fire. All the women's dorms have fire alarms in addition to regular fire drills and posted instructions in each dorm on how to clear the building. All dorms built since 1967 have fire alarms with installation costs included in the cost of the building due to new building codes. Kenneth Dixon, engineer in charge of the. State Property Insurance Fund in Raleigh was contacted to learn what the "-. i'vA.!"''. 'v ft 1 J Woto 6y Woody Oarik After Swing Was Removed Photo by Woody Clark -Happy Fourth Of July insurance policy requirements were in regard to alarms and drills. He said that each building on campus is insured separately and that the insurance covers the building and any state property contained in the building. It does not cover loss of life or property on the part of students unless a student or his family can prove negligence on the part of the University. Such things as faulty wiring fall under the classification of negligence, he added. Fire drills are not required under the insurance policy, Dixon said. However, the University is "opening itself to legal suits" by not having fire alarm systems or drills in these dorms according to Dixon. Dorms not presently protected by an alarm system include Grimes, Ruffin, Mangum, Manley, Aycock, Stacey, Brown, Alexander, Lewis, Graham, Everett, Old Cafeteria Employees Receive Wage Boost All regular food workers employed by the Saga Food Service will receive salary boosts of from 7 to 13 per cent, according to Food Service Director Troy O'Brien. The raise will be effective July 1 and will include cafeteria workers in Lenoir Dining Hall and the Pine Room. The raise is a result of a pledge that Saga made early in the year to employees that he match state salary raises. Food Service workers had recently complained to the Saga Company that their jobs "offer no security for work this fall," according to a food worker spokeswoman. n K et 1 The 17th annual community-wide Old-Fashioned Fourth of July celebration and fireworks will be staged again this year in Kenan Stadium Friday. The festivities will include a traditional fried chicken dinner. Tickets for the meal are now on sale at the Chapel Hill Weekly offices, Ledbetter-Pickard's, Edkerd's Drug Store, KoKo's Lingerie, and the Glen Lennox Pharmacy for $1.50 for adults and $1.25 for children under 12. Nearly 10,000 Townspeople and students turned out last year and more are expected this year to celebrate our patriotic heritage. East, Old West and Carr. Carr is the home International Student Andrew Yiannakis, of the Center, house advisor at Carr says there are fire extinguishers on each floor but no alarms and no directions for evacuations. He said that he had not been given any instructions from the administration in connection with fire drills or building clearance. Dean of Women, Katherine Carmichael said that fire drills are not required by her office. The Women's Residence Council passed the rule requiring a minimum of one fire drill in which the dorm could be cleared in three minutes. They left the discretion of how many fire drills, when they would be held, and whether attendance would be taken to the individual house councils. Dean Carmichael added that the women were free to abolish fire drills any time they wished, but she didn't recommend it. O'Brien said Wednesday an evaluation of the employees is forthcoming. The employees will be rated as to efficiency and over-all work. "Many workers will be asked to return in the fall," O'Brien said. . In addition thirty new employees will be hired in the fall O'Brien said. Concerning complaints by the workers that Saga was replacing non-academic employees with students O'Brien explained that "part of the 'Saga Concept' is to work with and train student employees to supplement the regular staff." O'Brien noted this system (continued on page 3) enan An ear-splitting, sky-rending fireworks display will begin as soon as it is dark. Carolina Union has supplemented the funds to make the display "the biggest event." The celebration will begin at 3 p.m. Featured as usual will be cotton candy machines, watermelon, games, exhibits and a combo contest. A $50 prize will be awarded to the combo which places first. Last year's winners, "The Shades of Soul", will again be competing. Profits from the events will finance a foreign high school exchange student's exchange study at Chapel Hill High School for the coming year. The "Fourth" observance also provides funds for two Chapel Hill High School students who are going abroad on AFS scholarships this summer and next fall. T. B. Spiller, co-chairman of the event, predicted that the afternoon and evening-long celebration would earn more than $2,000 profit for the AFS program. Bob Boyce is co-chairman along with Spiller.
