The symposium began Friday night in Granville South lounge with a discussion on the nature of Afro-American studies and their direction. Dr. Marvin Krieger, a professor at Central Piedmont, led the discussion which located don't offer graduate work in rehabilitation. She emphasized each school chapter can only give one such grant, whether it is the graduate fellowship or the undergraduate scholarship. Some of the fields which qualify for this grant are physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, speech pathology, rehabilitation medicine, social work, medical research and education for the exceptional child. A m m started with black nationalism and ended with a discussion of the capitalistic structure of the United States. Dr. Krieger brought along eight" black students from his black studies class at Central Piedmont to help out with the discussion. The Black Symposium program was directed by Gary Krieger with help from Granville's Lt. Academic Governor Bob Moore and President Mike Padrick. v The growth of black studies was initiated because blacks found that they knew nothing of their own history, according to Dr. Krieger. "They (the blacks) have been exposed only to the white man's history and the white man's culture, instead of a history of Africa and a study of black culture," one black student told the group. Black nationalism is seen as good, according to one student, because it signifies love of the black race: black love for the black man. To carry black nationalism to the point of separation would be foolish, said one black, because it would be running away from the problem. university stops By TODD COHEN DTH Editor The University, by agreement will cease subsidization today of food service workers who by the Strike Settlement Agreement were to be laid off by SAGA. That agreement also called for the University to attempt to locate jobs for the laid-off workers. James Gaskin, the special representative appointed by Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson to work with the displaced workers, said Saturday the task has in effect been completed. Gaskin also said he. would be taken off his special post as of today. The subsequent relocation of workers will be handled as a normal function of the Personnel Office. Gaskin, Director for Pro bed Most of the students who participated in the program from Central Piedmont agreed they would try to talk with the white man, to "communicate with our white brothers," in order to gain a mutual understanding and a starting point for solutions to the problems of the black man in America. The group continued activities Saturday with another discussion, a BSM reception, dinner in the Granville cafeteria and a film on Malcolm X. OTOLir I'M By GLENN BRANK DTH Staff Writer A petition calling for a referendum on student funding of the Daily Tar Heel will be presented to Student Body President Alan Albright Monday at 3 p.m., according to Conservative Party Chairman Gary Fagg. Fagg said Saturday the referendum should come before the student body on or before March 2. Joe Beard, an originator of the petition, said the list has 1,783 names. The student constitution requires 10 percent of the student D brothers, in the slow unamaze of the o ttti. n 1 QJQJdli Institutional Research, said there have been more than enough job opportunities to relocate the displaced workers. But. he explained, union pressures, as well as an unwillingness of laid-off workers to sever ties with the University, have complicated the process of relocation. He also hinted at possible explanations for conflicting figures as to the actual number of workers to be laid off, subsidized and relocated. The union-SAGA settlement called for 62 workers to be laid off by SAGA. SAGA agreed, however, to prevent an abrupt lay-off, the workers would be relieved periodically. In the meantime the University would subsidize their contracts and try to find other jobs for them. The lay-off of 62 workers would bring the level of workers to 95, according to SAGA, which they explained was the desirable number. Within 24 hours of the ratification of the strike agreement on Dec. 8, however, Gaskin met with SAGA and union representatives and was informed the original relocation schedule had been informally dissolved. Under the new informal agreement, workers who wished to leave SAGA would be referred to Gaskin. If these volunteers were so numerous as to adequately reduce the SAGA work force, that would be satisfactory. If they were so numerous as to bring the work force below the desired level of 95, SAGA would recruit. And if they body in this case 1640 to sign a petition before a referendum can be held. The UNC Student Code specifies the time allotted for preparing such a referendum. It states: "The President shall if he determines the petition to be in good order within the limitations of this Constitution direct the Elections Board to conduct an election on the bill in not less than six nor more than 15 days after he shall have recieved the petition and bill." Beard noted past petitions have been delayed for as much as three months. "Apparently, in the past no one has held the Petition wo were too few to brir? the work force to the desired level, the remaining withdrawals would be established by inverse order of seniority. A question existed, however,as to the stated number of 62 workers to be laid off. Gaskin said Ted Young, director of the SAGA unit here, had given him Jan. 12 a seniority list containing 150 names that had also appeared on SAGA's payroll of Nov. 13 for work performed through Nov. 6. That payroll, Gaskin said, was a controlling document in the strike settlement and in subsequent discussions among SAGA, the union and the University. Gaskin explained one name was added to the seniority list "in a different hand," but the name did not appear on the payroll. Also, he said, following his receipt of the seniority list he was given six additional names. He pointed out none of the persons thus named had been placed on the final pre-strike payroll. Thus, he reasoned, the actual number of persons to be placed by him in order to bring SAGA's work force to the desired level of 95 would be 55. In any event, he said, there have been more than enough job openings to place workers numbering beyond both the 55 and 62 levels. He has even been able to place a number of workers not included in the strike agreement but laid off Goes To SG Elections Board to the Constitution," he said. Beard added the petition's supporters did not want to wait until the general election set for March 17. Fagg said the results of the referendum would "reflect on the election." "It should be a major issue in the campaigns," he added. Margo Fletcher, chairman of the Elections Board, said the date of the referendum would depend on Student Government. "My orders come from Alan Albright," she said. "When I get the petition, I'll work on it as fast as possible."
