Sell in ii By STEVE PLAISANCE DTH Staff Writer 'I I Mr- Y K&dish9 JTtLlg Assistant State Attorney General Andy Vanore said Thursday that he sees "no violation" in two recent incidents at UNC in which two cars were broken into by University employed tow-truck drivers to be towed away. The incidents occurred in the Emerson Field parking lot Tuesday, and a witness states that the truekdriver used a coath anger to forceably enter the cars. Vanore, emphasizing that he was voicing his personal opinion and not an official statement from the attorney general, said: "It would not appear to me to be a violation of the law. The driver of the truck evidently is authorized to move the cars by the University or the Board of Trustees and is only doing his job. "All crimes require a felonious intent," explained Vanore. "If the windshield of the car was smashed or other such damage done in order to gain entry into the car, then the owner would have grounds for a law suit against the University. "But these cars obviously were entered with no felonious intent, and the truekdriver was just doing his job." Vanore indicated that an official statement on the incident would have to come through the channels of University -state communica tion. "We normally don't advise individuals who aren't connected with some form of state government," Vanore said. "Someone in the University administration will have to discuss the matter with the attorney general before we can make an official policy statement." Staff Problem Blamed o.nirse Opinion f 5 ooklet By NANCY STANC1LL DTH Staff Writer No Course Evaluation Booklet will be published this fall, according to Student Government Academic Assistant Larry Passar. The booklet, which was published in 1967 and 1968 by an executive committee of Student Government, is plagued by organizational and staff problems, said Passar. He said the project is currently being examined and re-evaluated by Student Government and former staff workers. Passar said the booklet will "probably be published next year." "The booklet is not worth continuing as a project unless it becomes a full-scale publication," he said. Passar said the first Course Evaluation Booklet, which appeared in 1967, "received criticism because it reportedly contained non-factual reports written by class members or other individuals." The 1968 booklet used standardized forms which were computerized and compiled in a small manual, he said. However, the central problem of not having each course and professor represented in the booklet remained, Passar noted. "The questionnaires used in the past have been distributed by individual professors as they chose during class time," he said. He added that could designate professors whether questionnaire published. results could be "Obviously if results were unfavorable, most professors would not want them printed," he said.

"Employers understand that sometimes study loads allow fewer working hours and will adjust accordingly," Roach added. Job openings include Chapel Hill government and recreational programs, the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences, North Carolina Botanical Garden and the Boy Scouts. University libraries, student stores, arboretum, book exchange and other academic departments also need employees. "We are allowed to form agreements with non-profit and public interests in the work-study program," Roach said explaining the Chapel Hill government openings. Halted in He suggested developing another method of distribution "through a central point, possibly residence colleges." He noted another reason for suspending publication at this time is lack of staff. "The 1968 booklet demanded so much work from so few people," he said. "Our problem now is getting several dozen people to work on it. "Before we select a new chairman and staff, we will continue to evaluate what has been done in the past." "The Course- Evaluation Booklet should be a real help to both student and professor," Passar said. "Our. problem is to make it an acceptable procedure for all professors." RCF By STEVE PLAISANCE DTH Staff Writer The Executive Council of the Residence College Federation (RCF) passed a resolution Wednesday "praising" the Chancellor's formation of the Consultative Forum and for the "far reaching implications accompanying the establishment of such a forum." The forum includes representatives from the student body, the faculty, the administration and non-academic employees, the Board of Trustees and the alumni. . The RCF resolution, introduced by Granville Under Federal Program willing students who have - N Lauds Governor Mike Padrick, recognized the forum "?s a recognition ot the five basic inputs on the campus," and futher commended Alan Albright, Fred Cleveland and John Graham "for their contribution to the University through their work in establishing the forum." RCF Co-chairman Richard Stevens voiced a ''strong desire" for the forum to be established as the governing ; board of the University. "I hope that the forum will address itself immediately to the questions of University government," Stevens said. "With the formation of the forum, students now have direct input with the Chancellor.

Danny Cloak, a student at Grey-Cuibreth Junior High, has been suspended for selling in school a newspaper called "The ProteanRadish." Known generally as "The Radish," the leftist newspaper is published by college students and former students here. It is. sold throughout the UNC and Duke communities. The rule forbids the selling of anything on school grounds except for fund-raising for student organizations, when approved by the school principal and the school Still Available "Our wage rate ($1.80) is higher than the normal student rate of $1.60 to $1.66 because students in the work-study program need assistance," he added.

"Chancellor Sitterson has himself offered hope that the concept of the University being a closed corporation is a dying proposition and that direct student involvement in the decision-making process is a strong possibility," he added. In a further action taken at the Wednesday RCF meeting, a petition signed by the presidents of Mangum, Manly and Grimes dormitories urging the administration to make installation of individual room telephones optional was endorsed. The administration presently plans phones in all dorms. to instant superintendent. Danny, however, feels his case should be made an exception "since they (newspapers) are educational and it says in the Constitution that newspapers may be sold." He was warned after first selling the paper that it was against school policy. He took his case to the School Board meeting Monday night and asked that all students be able to sell newspapers of all kinds on school grounds. He offered to donate copies of the Radish to the school library for students who couldn't afford to buy them. School Superintendent Wilmer Cody - said at the meeting that "it could cause some, interference if anyone could sell anything on the school grounds."

In addition, about 40 percent voted to continue the present system "with the possible addition of another hall phone on each hall." "We might also point out," stated the petition, "that the students in this quad, to the knowledge, have never petitioned, asked as a group, or in any other way expressed a collective desire to have a phone in every room; and that this decision was made wiihout the students' opinions being considered or even asked for."

A statement from the Board of Residence College Treasurers including recommendations on co -ed ucational residence college funding was released at the meeting of the RCF. The statement called for freedom of choice in the affiliation of women's and men's dorms in residence colleges and stated that funds from both would be handled on an equal basis. The statements only stipulation was that a women's dorm desire to affiliate or disaffiliate wi'h a particular Radish in school and was suspended until next Monday. W.W. Edmonds, principal of Culbreth. said the suspension was his duty because he is charged with carrying out board policy. Edmonds explained he is not commenting on whether the rule is good or bad, but said as chief administrator he has his duties. One board member, Marvin Silver, appears to be siding with at least some of Danny's proposed changes. "I feel students should be permitted to engage in some selling," Silver said, Cross Asks Better publicize the request, she said. The American branch has been joined in the petition by Red Cross societies around the world, Mrs. Brown said.

"This is in spite of the NC Central Hosts Black Workshops The Student Organization for Blacks United, a North Carolina Central University group, will conduct workshops today, Saturday and Sunday in Durham. The workshops will seek to define what steps the group can take for the advancement of black people. The activities this weekend mark the conclusion of a conference which began Tuesday. One speaker at the conference was black activist Howard Fuller, head of the Malcolm X Liberation School in Durham. Another nationally known activist, H. Rap Brown, was invited to the conference but could not attend. Nelson Johnson, NCCU student body vice president, declined to give any more information concerning the conference. He said the SOBU would release a statement Sunday at 11 a.m. on the NCCU campus. men's must be passed by a majority referendum of the women. An ammendment to the RCF Constitution was proposed at the meeting which would set up a- "graduate council" to administer to the needs of the new Craig Graduate Center. Concerning the proposed amendment, Stevens commented: "This will create a separate graduate council, separate and distinct from the Men's Residence Council and Association of Women Students. "We feel that graduate students should not be subject to the same undergraduates." rules as "particularly items such as newspapers. This is a learning process that involves more than just what is in textbooks." The school now allows photographs and books to be sold for profits which, he indicated, may not be very different from what Danny is trying to do. Silver noted he does not believe just any type of literature should be permitted, but a more arbitrary' censorship has to be implemented. The Radish seems, he said, to be all right. "A good analogy would be the fact that people have the capability to drive through Chapel Hill at 60 miles per hour and kill someone," he continued. "But we don't prohibit all cars because of this. We make safe limits and handle any abuse. "I would hope Danny cools it for awhile, though," he said, "and waits to see what action we'll take." The board is investigating Danny's case, Silver said, and will probably resolve the conflict within the next month. Silver foresees a tough fight to win the changes Danny proposes. Geneva Treaty of 1949 which North Vietnam signed." There are 413 Americans imprisoned in North Vietnam, according to a Red Cross newsletter. Many of 918 others reported missing may also be held in these camps. The newsletter urges private citizens, especially college students, to write the Hanoi government in protest of these tactics. "These figures should bother America's peace-minded students," the letter said. "These students have shown their regard for peace and human life in their support of the national moratorium. We hope they will show it again in this matter." Students who wish to protest Hanoi's actions, said Mrs. Brown, may write: Office of the President Democratic Republic of Vietnam Hanoi, North Vietnam Histor rv Graduates Ask Voice Graduate history students passed a resolution Wednesday calling for equal vote with faculty for their representatives on. the Graduate Studies Committee of the History Department.

The society has tentatively scheduled another meeting Nov. 3 for further discussion of the resolution. The studies composed of committee is three faculty members and three graduate students.
