Nine men ranging in age
from 17 to 22 were arrested" on
narcotic charges early Monday
morning in simultaneous raids
in Durham, Chapel Hill and
Moore County, Chapel Hill
police Chief W.D. Blake
reported Monday afternoon.
The nine arrests broke up a
"three county drug ring"
covering Orange, Durham, and
Moore counties, according to
Blake.
The raids, carried out at 7
a.m. Monday, were a joint
effort of the State Bureau of
Investigation and the Chapel
Hill and Durham police forces.
Among those arrested were
"a UNC student, "Two' TOtmer
UNC students, and a student at
the Chapel Hill Independent
School.
One of the nine arrested was
the 18 year-bid son of UNC
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson,
Curtis Howard Sitterson.
Arrested on four counts of
possession and sale of
narcotics, Sitterson is being
held on $20 thousand bond.
He is a freshman at UNC, living
in Hinton James dorm.
The other eight men

Petition
Gathers
Over 2,500 students have
signed a petition to make the
Merzbacher Report applicable
to all students, freshman class
President Joe Wheeler
announced Monday.
Wheeler said the petition
had been distributed in all the
dormitories except Granville.
The Merzbacher Report,
which was published last fall,
calls for reform of the General
College, including the
abolitionment of several
required courses.
The Faculty Council is
scheduled to vote in May on
extending the reforms to
presently enrolled students.
The petition, which is being
sponsored by the freshman
class, was received favorably,
Wheeler said.
Wheeler
freshmen
revealed that
will begin a
letter-writing campaign to
members of the' Faculty
Council next month.
He said the plan was still in
its early stages and that there is
presently a shortage of
volunteers.
Wheeler said the success of
the effort would be beneficial
to all students.
"The University requires
students to declare their majors
at the end of their sophomore
year, but how can students
decide on a major if they can't
even take courses in that field
until their junior year?"
Wheeler added.

Over ReaLBBortionment
By GERRY COHEN
DTH Staff Writer
Student Legislature's
Judicial Committee will meet
this week for an anticipated
heated debate over legislative
reapportionment.
Also on the agenda are
various proposals concerning a
dormitory-rdom visitation
agreement effective next fall.
Margo Fletcher, chairman cf
the Elections Board, has said
there have been several
questions raised over whether
the present elections law will
allow women students in James
or Craige to vote or have
representation in Legislature.
Several legislators have said
some of the present nineteen,
legislative districts are unfairly
apportioned under the present
election law.
Prior to last week's meeting
of Legislature, there had been
some consensus on a new
reapportionment plan.

Service
The University's resumption
of food serv ice had been one of
several possibilities for campus
food operations following
SAGA Food Service's
departure next May 27. UNC
operated its own food facilities
until May, 1969, when SAGA
took over.
Eagles said the University
was still considering whether to
contract the food service to
another private firm or to
accept a workers' co-op.
"There are two conditions
on which contracting the food
service to a firm depend," he
"We've been making buys
from these men," he explained,
"and just waiting until we
could get the whole ring."
Blake said eight of the
arrested men had narcotics in
their residences which were
confiscated when the raids
were made. He described the
narcotics found as "some LSD,
heroin, STP, and some drugs
we had never heard of."
He said he was unable to tell
which person had what drugs,
pending the receipt of lab
reports on the confiscated
materials.
"All of this just has to be
pieced together with what we
already know to give us a
concrete, up-to-date picture,"
Blake concluded.

Consideration of such a plan
was postponed after Legislator.
Joe Beard raised objections to
districts having both men and
women students, Beard said.
The present student
constitution forbids such
districts.
Several members of the
Judicial Committee have
proposed a constitutional
amendment to resolve this
problem. Any such amendment
would require approval by the
student body in time for the
general election in March.
Legislator Bill Blue has said
he might introduce his
proposal for open visitation to
the Judicial Committee if he
"finds the committee members
receptive." Legislature refused
to consider the proposal at the
past meeting.
Also pending in committee
is a proposal to establish a
nine-member visitation
committee to negotiate a
visitation agreement for next
contested. There is one
vacancy in each of the
following Men's Court
Districts:
District I (off-campus,
outside Chapel Hill), District
III (east of Columbia street and
Airport Road and within town
limits On the north, south and
west). District IV (west of
Columbia Street and Airport
Road and within town limits
on the north, east and south).
District VI (upper quad).
District VIII (Avery and
Teague), District IX
(Ehringhaus), District X
(Craige), District XI (Morrison)
and District XII (James).
Women's Court has two
empty seats in District I
(off-campus). The following
districts have one empty seat
each: District II (Kenan,
Alderman and Mclver), District
V (East Cobb and Wrest CobbJ,
District VI (Joyner, Conner
and Winston) and District VIII
(Parker and James).

said. "We would have to
establish whether there would
be efficient student support
and whether the company was
competent enough and
financially stable enough to
run the business."
Eagles said it did not matter
if a co-op or private company
ran the food service, as long as
they were competent.
Chancellor J. Carlyle
Sitterson had ncted several
days earlier the University
would in some way poll
students on what kind of food
service, if any, they want.
Student Body President
Alan Albright has asked
Sitterson to appoint a board
consisting of students, faculty
members and administrators to
decide on the fate of campus
food service. Sitterson has
made no public reply to
Albright's suggestion.
The American Federation of
State, County and Municipal
Employees union (AFSCME),
the union representing most of
the cafeteria workers on
campus, has reportedly been
working on plans for a
workers' co-op.
Union official Jesse Epps
said last wreek the Foundation
for the Training of Community
Development of Durham,
headed by James Lee, was
working on the structure such
a co-op would take. Epps said
the plans would probably be
released by the end of
February.
Miss Carrie Lakes, a union
organizer, said she was not
surprised by the University's
decision not to re-enter the
food operations business.
"I'm not surprised at
year.
Legislator Johnny Williford,
chairman of the committee,
has proposed tightening the
penalty provisions of the
present open-house agreement
and classifying visitation
offenses into two categories.
At last week's committee
meeting, consideration of the
various measures concerning
visitation was postponed.

Student Legislator Alan A.
Hirsch today announced his
candidacy as an Independent
for student body president.
"The problems of the
University in the 1970's
demand a new approach," the
junior political science major
from Miami, Fla. said.
"We need a realistic and
dynamic Student Government
that will fight for the right of
students to control their own
lives."
The legislator from
Granville Men's District II, who
describes himself as a "political
liberal," plans to run a personal
campaign.
Chief among Hirsch 's plans
for next year is a change in the
present visitation restrictions
to a 24-hour policy.
"It's our right to have
whomever we want in our
homes whenever we like,"
Hirsch said, "and dormitory
rooms are our homes for nine
months of the year."
Hirsch also supports an end
to double-jeopardy, a
"realistic" drug policy, "vast"
curriculum reforms, and
abolishment of the present
housing policy limiting
sophomores to University -provided
housing.
During the past year, Hirsch
has sponsored bills in Student
Legislature to permit 24hr.-7
day-a-week visitation, abolish
campusment for girls,
guarantee constitutional rights
to all student court defendants,

abolish class officers, and
restrict, punishment of drug
violations to only serious dru
cases.
"The use of drugs is a
personal decision," Hirsch said,
"a decision the University
should neither judge nor
punish."
Hirsch, also vice-chairman
of the Carolina Political Union,
wants to change the-entire
concept of Student
Government.
"Every year, candidates
pledge to streamline Student
Government and make it more
effective. But the problem isn't
