Student Government ' this
week initiated a drive to
imporve relations between
students and trustees.
"To promote a better
understanding between
students and trustees and to
break down some of the
existing stereotypes, we in
Student Government are
attempting to bring student
leaders and trustees together to
exchange views on areas of
mutual concern," noted Doug
Dibber, assistant to the student
body president, in a letter to
Carolina student leaders.
In the letter, Dibbert asked
students to "take time during
the Thanksgiving, Christmas,
andor Easter holidays to call
on a trustee in your
hometown."
Dibbert acknowledged key
policy decisions are made the
the trustees but that "recent
decisions by that body have
demonstrated a need for
greater understanding and
appreciation of the student
perspective."
He said despite differences
of opinion and attitude
between students and trustees
. . . "there is one point on
which we can all agree; that is,
our common desire to
strengthen and to preserve the
University."
President William Friday has
already begun setting up
conferences between trustees
and student leaders from each
Consolidated University
institution, according to
Dibbert. He said a letter similar
to the one mailed to Carolina
students will be mailed to the
trustees by Friday. -
In addition to Student
Government efforts, the
YMCA will be working to bring
both small and large trustee
delegations to campus to meet
students. Dibbert said he also
expected trustees to be in
Chapel Hill during the spring
Carolina Symposium.

The Upward Bound
Program will hold an
organizational meeting
Monday, Nov. 24, at 7:00 p.m.
in Gerrard Hall. The purpose of
the meeting is to recruit
students for tutoral assistance
to college bound students from
poor families. These students
have the potential to do well,
but need help to overcome the
disadvantages of poor
backgrounds.
Tutors in all subject fields
are needed. Volunteers may
expect to average two hours a
day tutoring a student and
consulting with his teacher of
guidance counselor. Tutors
who have cars are especially
needed, but this is not
required. Upward Bound will
reimburse travel expenses.
The Upward Bound
Program, funded by the U.S.
Office of Education and
administered through the
School of Education, has been
one of the University's most
direct attacks on the problems
of poverty and racism in the
immediate community,
according to David Kiel. He
added th"e projects will be in
Hillsboro, Pittsboro and Siler
City, providing tutors with
insights into typical problems
of the underprivileged in this
state.
Kiel stressed the pressing
need for continuation of the
counseling program begun
during the summer.
"Without tutorial support
made in the summer program,
many of these students will not
be adequately prepared for
college," he said.

Striking food service
workers scored a major victory
in their struggle with SAGA
Food Service, Inc. by an
overwhelming vote in favor of
union representation by the
American Federation of State,
County and Municipal
Employees.
The vote was tallied as 94 in
favor of the union and 26
against. Only full time workers
voted in the election.
James Westbrook, regional
director of Saga, commented
on the election, "It's nothing
that wre didn't expect."
Westbrook added that
mediation with union
representatives would probably
get underway Sunday. Jim
Pierce, southern director of
AFSCME agreed.
Pierce said, "We have to

same, especially after the
freshman year."
The percentage of freshmen,
sophomores, juniors, seniors
and graduate students who
favored a quick and complete
pull-out were 32.6, 42.9, 45.5,
51.5 and 51.0, respectively.
Grad students had the
fewest, 1.8, in favor of
escalating the war, while 7.4
of the voting sophomores
approved such a move.
Students also had an
opportunity to express their
own views on the war, if they
were not covered by the
alternatives provided.
"Overall, in the comments
there were just a general feeling
of hopelessness, "Didow said.
"Many people wrote in
Svhat good will a referendum
like this do if President Nixon
wouldn't listen to 500,000
persons in Washington last

One senior, who voted to
escalate, said the U.S. "should
broaden the ground war to
include North Korea and
should use nuclear weapons on
China's nuclear facilities."
To the other extreme, a
sophomore wrote, "although I
voted for immediate, total
withdrawal of U.S. forces, I
believe that we have an
obligation to the people of
South Vietnam, after what we
have done to them and their
country to get them back on

Student Legislature set'
penalties for visitation
violations and appropriated
funds to the Yack and the
March Against Hunger after
heated debate in its regular
meeting Thursday night.
Representative Mark Evens
introduced the bill to establish
penalties for violations of the
visitation agreement.
The first article of the bill
set three possible penalties for
students who break the
agreement: court reprimand;
restriction of visitation rights
of the student involved; and
expulsion of the offending
student from his dormitory
after repeated violations.
The second article of the bill
reads, "At no time shall any
sentence be placed on a
student's permanent record."
Many legislators opposed the
icuaX t i im 'mm
the results.
Before the election,
approximately 90 striking
cafeteria workers attended
noon rally in front of the
Wilson Library and then
marched with ""tired of SAGA
. . . WTe want a union" on their
lips to the Student Union and
voted.
During the noon rally, Mrs.
Elizabeth Brooks, a SAGA
employee and one of the
leaders of the strike, told a

opposed to setting limitations
on penalties, they said, but
because they wanted further
information on how cases are
being punished and because
Student Government alone
lacks authority to pass the
resolution.
John Williford, chairman of
the Judicial Committee,
explained that the visitation
agreement was composed from
recommendations of students,
faculty and administrators.
He added, "If you want to
change this agreement, youll
have to go talk to all the
parties involved. We can't do it
alone."
Debate was also extensive on
the proposal that Legislature
support the March Against
Hunger by sponsoring a walker.
Opponents of the bill asked
that it be defeated because of
inadequate treasury funds and

The bill passed, though the
amount granted to the march
was decreased from $20 per

expenditure of ScOO to a grant

Rep. Joe Beard decried the

Ken Ripley, DTH
columnist, reported Friday his
two-week fund drive for a
memorial scholarship dedicated
to three UNC students killed in
a boating accident has reached
$50. Ripley said $35 was
earned by typing papers for
students and the rest came as
direct contributions.
William Geer, director of
Student Aid, reported late
Friday afternoon the
scholarship fund now stands at
$1,025.
Geer said "The effort to
create a living memorial to
three splendid students of this
University which will benefit
others both now and in the
years to come is an impressive
movement . . . the Student Aid
Office is most grateful for their
(friends of the deceased) part
because the need for
scholarships is much greater
than the resources which are
available."
Geer added that

last year's Yack to students
who did not return to the
University this year.
The bill was contested on
grounds that the Yack never
ceases to demand money from
the Legislature and that the
annual is not worth its
excessive expenditures.
Legislator Gene Yates
supported the bill because the
Pub Board recently demanded
the annual include mug shots
of all students who pay two
semesters tuition this year.
Both grants were approved,
about $80 for postage and
about $1500 for the
undergraduate photographs.
In other business Legislature
