Tommy Bello, new student

President William Friday on
the visitation issue.
Bello said he would be
doing "homework" on the
various SG committees aid
appointing members to them
during his first few weeks in
office.
'The president has
incredible powers by the
appointments he makes.
Therefore he must be careful
to appoint top-notch people to
positions."
He added, "As an
independant. I can appoint
qualified people and not make
political pay-offs."
I will not make
appointments to committees
which have not functioned well
in the past. In other words
they will be allowed to go
defunct."
Bello said he would also do
.everything possible to bring
- speakers to the University.
The Raleigh junior said he
would stress unity in SG and
between his administration and
, Student Legislature.
. "In the last two years the
president has not worked well
with the vice president and SL.I
don't foresee that happening
this year," he said.
"I'm looking forward to
working with the incoming SL
and with Bill Blue (vice
president)."
Bello said the trustees
disruptions policy and peace
activities would, along with
visitation, . be the most
important issues this spring.
He said, "The University has
done a lot of reseach and has
already gotten lawyers
"Before we make . a
statement we will do some
research of our own."
Bello also said he personally
supports the anti-war festival
to be held April 11 and 12.
"I personally believe the
war in Vietnam is wrong, but
this does not mean that SG or
the students are committed to
the effort here this month."

The University will be
investigated within a few weeks
by the U.S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
to determine if sex
discrimination exists here,
according to a report Saturday
by United Press International.
However, the HEW Office
for Civil Rights, which
supposedly will conduct the
investigation, denied Monday
any knowledge of the sex
discrimination charge against
the University.
The Daily Tar Heel reported
March 17 that Dr. Bernice
Sandler, a member of the
Women's Equity Action
League, had filed a formal
complaint asking HEW to
conduct a full-scale
investigation of the
University's admissions policy.
,' Dr. Sandler charged the
admissions policy
discriminated against female
applicants. .
According to UFI, HEW
evaluated the situation and
decided there -was enough
evidence to begin the
investigation.

no formal notice of the

The two guest speakers for

former president of the
Association of Women
Students, and Mary Ann
Towler, a Female Liberation
member.
Miss Davis said the position
of the women's movement was
not radical. She said one only
had to take an honest look at
the University to see its
" discriminatory practices and
that women, like blacks, were
simply trying to change their
lot.
She said that in 1968
women graduates made a
median salary of $450 a month
while men graduates made
$600 a month.
Commenting on admission
policies, she said a lawyer had
been hired to contest what
Female Liberation feels to be a
discriminatory quota system.

Ch airman of the
Odurn-Victory Village Board of
Aldermen Gerd Bartsh said
Sunday he will seek an
injuction against the
University's eviction of married
students from Victory Village.
"We are willing to seek an
injunction, and if necessary we
will," Bartsh declared at an
emergency meeting of evicted
married students Sunday
afternoon in the Odurn Village
Day Care Center.
Twelve families living in
Victory Village received
eviction notices Saturday
informing them they must
move by June 7 to make room
for a new parking lot.
The University plans to
construct three new buildings
in the hospital complex and
needs parking space for the
construction crews. Living
space for 12 families will be
tom down to make room for a
temporary parking lot.
The eviction notices came
three weeks after the
University had made extensive
rpnnovations on the units. The
apartments were painted, the
occupants given grass seed to
sow their lawns, and new
showers, cupboards and sinks
were installed.
When contacted Sunday at
Finley Golf Course, Director of
Housing James Wadsworth said
he was not responsible for the
eviction decision. Wadsworth,
who signed the eviction
notices, expressed surprise at
the anxiety; of the : evicted
married students.
Noting past instances of
relocation of evicted Village
residents, he said "We're going
to take care of these people.
, "We should have torn down
those, thing 14 years ago."
Wadsworth added.
The main complaint
expressed by those at Sunday's
meeting is that low-cost
housing is being eradicated
without replacement. The rates
of housing in Victory Village
range from $30-$50. The least
expensive units in the new
Odum Village are priced at
$82.
Despite assurances by
Wadsworth and Joseph C.
Eagles, vice - chancellor in
charge of finance, the evicted
residents do not believe any
alternate low-cost housing is
available to replace the Victory
Village pre-fabricated units.

She emphasized that having

female and 15 percent of the
freshman class female was
intolerable in a state where 52
percent of the total population
are women.
Miss Towler said that in a
previous talk with Chancellor

knowledge of these practices.
She conceded that one of

Following is the statement of the issues and questions
submitted Monday to Dean of Student Affairs CO. Cathey
?i!onday by the married students evicted Saturday from Victory
Village:
"The broadest issue is, of course, that twelve more units of
married student housing are being destroyed. Within the memory
of this group, 92 units, will have been destroyed without one
being replaced. We must interpret this as an effort by the
University to discourage the attendance of qualified students who
also happen to be married.
The education of scholars and technicians in the University
consumes longer and longer periods of a student's life. To
discourage married student attendance at the University is to
discriminate against those who have chosen to spend more than a
third of their lives acquiring needed skills and, not unreasonable,
chosen to begin raising a family as well.
Of more immediate concern are the following:
The proposed relocation should be phased over the whole
summer.
Relocation in Odum Village at double and triple our present
rent is unacceptable.
How were "three new buildings in the medical compler."
planned in the two months since several of us were moved inlo
the area?
Who sets the priorities which rank parking lots above stuce it
housing?
For what three buildings are we being sacrificed?
What alternative sites have been considered for parking
construction equipment?
Who ordered the evictions?
Is the destruction of these units part of a master plan for
married student housing?
If so, who administers it?
Who can answer these questions?
Wadsworth said he believes
housing will be found for the
evicted families but could not
guarantee the rental rates
would remain the same.
A pamphlet entitled
"Married Student Housing"
distributed by the Housing
Officer, states: "The State of
North Carolina has answered
the challenge of Housing
Married Student's (sic) by
constructing Odum Village."
The evicted students say
Odum Village apartments are
too expensive for them. Many
of the students are attending
the University on grants,
scholarships and fellowships.
. Some residents say the
eviction will mean the breaking
up of families or quitting
school.
