Student Body Vice President Rafael Perez has predicted a
or tight and a close vote over the new visitation policy at the
ident Legislature meeting Thursday night.
Tt is impossible to tell whether or not it (visitation policy) will
s," Perez said Monday.
However an influential University Party legislator told the
H yesterday, "The visitation bill will probably be reported out
Drably and passed."
Perez said he expected the bill to be considered in toto. This
sns the bill will be coasidered and voted on as a whole.
Perez indicated, however, that the motion to consider in toto
ild be defeated, leading to a debate on the bill by sections.

felt the real problem "involved"
in the issue wras the rights of
the students in general,
centering around whether
student funds should be
employed in the funding of the
campus paper.
Sitterson said he was
investigating the total incident
from this point and including a
study of the history of student
activity funds.
"A statement of policy on
the issue will be forthcoming,
when the study is completed,"
Sitterson said.
Dean Cathey commented in
an interview that he would
never "censure the Tar Heel,"
but he felt "the English
language is broad enough to
permit expression without the
use of vulgarity."
Cathey termed such
language "unnecessary" in
journalism. He outlined the
purposes of a newspaper as(l)

these facts in good balance and
in good taste, (3) to never
disparge an individual or
publicly belittle him.
Cathey said he placed the
responsibility of performing
these functions upon the
shoulders of the writers and
the editors of the newspaper.
He said in past years he had
had only one occasion to
question a publication of the
DTH staff.
In that case, according to
Cathey, there was a simple
mistake made in the headline
of a story. He said the people
responsible were quick to erase
their error.
According to both Sitterson
and Cathey, receiving a letter
from nine people, complaining
about the DTH is not unusual.
"The Tar Heel has always
been under attack," said
Cathey.

trouble for the bill, Perez said.
Granville legislator Alan Hirsch said Monday he would oppose
the visitation bill on the SL floor.
"I will accept nothing less than a 24-hour a day,
seven-day-a-week policy," Hirsch said.
The new visitation policy was recommended last week by a
student-faculty-administration study group chaired by Dean of
Men James O. Cansler and student Bill Darrah.
The policy suggests that each residential unit (dorm, fraternity
or sorority) set up its own mechanism for handling visitation.
Each visitation committee must have one person serving and
more if residents desire. This provision makes it possible for the
residential unit to abolish "host committees," a controversial
requirement of last year's policy.
Attorney General Bob Mosteller has authorized the new
visitation policy until SL can act on it. However, implementation
on the policy has been delayed because the study group wants to
meet with visitation committees in each residential unit to
explain the rules.
Besides visitation, Perez expects Legislature to consider
election law reform and legislative redisricting Thursday night.
Parts of the election laws were declared unconstitutional last
spring by the Student Supreme Court. Perez said these laws
"discriminated financially in favor of party candidates."
Legislature will consider the trustee disruption policy and the
possible repeal of the double jeopardy amendment to the Student
Constitution at its Oct. 2 meeting, Perez said.
He said "a lot of ideas are now being formulated" on these
two issues but that no bills have yet come forward
Perez encouraged students to talk with their legislators about
these issues before legislative meetings. He said he would soon ask
the DTH to publish a list of legislators, so that "if the legislators
won't come to their constituents, their constitutents can go to
them."
Eleven of 50 legislative seats are vacant this year, according to
Perez. This includes one seat from Lower Quad, two from Craige,
one from Ehringhaus, one from James, one from Morrison, one
from MDI (out of town), one from MDIII (West Cameron Ave.
and West Franklin St.) and the sorority district off Franklin St.

Plans for a campus-wide
boycott of classes Oct. 15 to
protest the war in Vietnam
were outlined by a group of
students here Monday.
"This may well be the
biggest demonstration since the
speaker ban," said Buck
Goldstein, a senior from Miami.
Beach, Fla., who is
coordinating the strike to be
held jointly on 900 campuses
across the nation as part of the
national Vietnam Moratorium.
DTH Receives
Top Press
By DENNIS BENFIELD
DTH News Editor
The Daily Tar Heel has
received the All-American
certificate of merit, the highest
recognition given an American
college or university newspaper
by the Associated Collegiate
Press.
Issues of the 1969 spring
semester DTH were analyzed
by the National Critical Service
of the ACP at the University of
Minnesota School of
Journalism, and the certificate
was signed by ACP Executive
Director Otto W. Quale.
The newspaper totaled
3,720 points in earning the
rating, receiving "Marks of
Distinction" in four general
areas: coverage and content,
writing and editing, physical
appearance and photography.
G.D. Hiebert, who headed
the committee appraising the
Tar Heel, scored the DTH
perfectly in 13 smaller
categories. In one area,
coverage and content, Hiebert
gave the DTH 210 pointsand
a perfect score was 200.
"For your coverage of the
food service controversy,"
wrote Hiebert in the ACP
Newspaper Guidebook, "you
rate extra credit." He referred
to the stories reporting charges
of poor service against the
UNC Food Services, which
started last fall and continued
until the University hired
SAGA, a private business, to
operate UNC cafeterias and
dining halls. ,
"I also like your sports
columns," Hiebert continued.
"The personality closeups are
excellent."
But throughout his analysis
Hiebert lauded the news
coverage. "You had some
exciting stories to cover and
1 Goldstein and several other
student leaders representing a
broad spectrum of the
University community frater
nities, religious organizations,
merchants and faculty are
hopeful that the Moratorium
will "put pressure on the
Nixon administration to end
the war and give some kind of
assurance that such a disaster
will not be repeated."
1 "There has been no
significant de-escalation of the
war, and we are not satisfied
with the token efforts being
made," said Goldstein.
k
an
your staff did a good job,
especially with the food service
drama!"
Hiebert was apparently not
overly impressed with the DTH
editorial page and he suggested
shorter editorials for better
readability.
"Your best editorial was the
one criticizing the governor for
ordering state troopers on
campus," Hiebert noted.
Troopers were brought on
campus after the "incident" at
Lenoir Hall during the food
workers' strike.
Hiebert scored the Tar Heel
nearly perfecy in the areas of
news photography and page
makeup.
The award comes in the
wake of a letter, signed by nine
UNC students, to Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson last week.
The petition protested the
allocation of student funds to
support the DTH.
Editors for the spring
semester issues evaluated were
Wayne Hurder, now a reporter
for the Raleigh News and
Observer, and present editor
Todd Cohen.

Many involved in the
protest fear it will be a
violation of the trustee's new
rulings concerning disruption
of classes, but others, including
some faculty members, feel
that the success of the venture
will depend on the way
different resolutions
supporting the protest are
phrased.
"We are not looking for an

trustee's new policy," said Joe
