Friday said Thursday "criticism of the University will continue as long as we do what a responsible university does." Friday made the comment during a personal interview in which he answered questions concerning the six universities of the Consolidated University, the disruption policy and the change in student attitudes in recent years. Appointed president of the Consolidated University 1956, Friday has been the man responsible for coordinating the policies of the six schools: UNC Chapel Hill, UNC-Greensboro, r ' I f f t - O t f - i I l f . : The aspiring Greeks of ZBT were the winners of the chariot race Thursday night at the APO Campus Chest Carnival. Here they are wild with happiness as they piled together for a victory picture N RepuM The executive committee of the campus Young Republican Club (YRC) Friday denied charges leveled against them by a group of club members. Club President Richard Barnes, speaking for the club's executive committee, said the charges made in a petition being circulated by Bob Hunter and Dave Adcock are "entirely false." "To deny them with particularity," Barnes said, "would give the charges more dignity than they deserve. "Mr. Hunter and Mr. Adcock are aware that these charges are false," he continued, "and have made them with the intention of damaging the personal reputations of the club officers and the political effectiveness of the club." Hunter said Thursday the petition "was not aimed at any 'one person, but at the present leadership in general." Coming Sunday Reading in Sunday's Daily Tar Heel will include: An in-depth study of the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center by staffer. Charles Jeffries.

He is the man with whom the chancellors of the various branches consult, and it is he who is responsible to the Board of Trustees in reporting all policy changes. A great deal of Friday's time is spent in Washington and Raleigh, talking to government officials and state legislators as he tries to get more funds for the schools. A graduate of State in 1942, Friday was a naval officer during World War II and returned to Chapel Hill to obtain a law degree. He served as secretary and f 1 mavis IDemv Chm Petition Questions The petition, which Hunter says will be sent to the executive committe of the N.C. Federation of College Republicans, says the leadership of the club "has not acted in the best interests of the North Carolina Federation of College Republicans." Among the charges made in the petition are statements that "the, club freedom of discussion has been surpressed, memberships to college Republicans denied and funds of the club misappropiated." The petition asks the state office to send an observer to the next du2i setiag to oversee election of officers, note complaints from members and report his findings to the state headquarters. Elections for new officers of the club will be held May 6, Barnes said. "At that same time, Barnes added, "the treasurer of the club will present the customary assistant to the president of the Consolidated University before his appointment as president. Concerning the criticism the University has received during the past few years, Friday said the residents of the state "must be informed of what the University is and what it contributes to the state. "If this is done, a new sense of appreciation" of the University would develop, he said. The president, who just this week met with President Nixon to discuss campus issues, said the trend all over the country is toward criticism of its universities, which is "regrettable."

Here are some comments: What do you think about the bomb scares? "Well, they really haven't affected me yet." What do you think about the bomb scares? "Not much!" What do you think about the bomb scares? "I didn't know there were any." What do you think about the bomb scares? "Some students went outside, some stayed inside, -w t- r n s nn TT5 B4 V t 9 e m ma & ks ii this stzie" said Friday, "and it is to be expected for the residents to pay attention to us and show concern." The time to worry is when the people of the state quit complaining because that would show they didn't care, he said. The students in the Universit3 "are much better informed and much more aware today," said Friday. 1 Th e enormous advancements in communication, the fact that young people take full advantage of their much greater opportunities to travel today and the changing conditions in the world" are the reasons, he said.

Don't they realize the impact such a thing could have?'' What do you think of the bomb scares? "It's absurd. Some foolish prank to get attention." What do you think of the bomb scares? "Nobody knows who's doing it or why, so who can decide?" What do you think of the bomb scares? "I think they ought to have class outside anyway." students "more committed to doing something constructive in their lives." said the president, "and they have a great sense of purpose and great dedication. "Each generation moving through should take full advantage to learn as much as it can about the world," Friday continued, "so a student can be prepared to assume a rule of leadership when he leaves here." Commenting on the disruption policy, Friday said he had recently asked student leaders and members of the faculty to give him their views on how the policy should be revised. The policy will be reviewed bv the Board of Trustees in Q) Sex By Lou Bonds Staff Writer A bill to eliminate discrimination on the basis of sex was passed by Student Legislature Thursday night after an hour and a half of heated discussion. The bill must now be signed by Student Body President Tom Bello to become official. After a floor battle over the constitutionality of the bill, amendments to certain sections and its impact, representatives passed the bill by a 25-15 margin. Legislator Steve Ayers declared the bill unconstitutional because, he said, it is not in the proper form required by legislative by-laws and because Legislature "does not have the right to repeal laws it did not make." Ayers' motion was declared out of order. Speaking for the proposal, legislator Gerry Cohen, author of the bill, said discrimination is in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution which guarantees equal protection of the law to each person. Legislator Judi Friedman spoke against acceptance of the bill on grounds it would hurt Legislature and Association of Women Students (AWS) bargaining power with the administration. Cohen argued Legislature had already given AWS ample time to act on the matter of discrimination and urged quick decisive action. Miss Friedman introduced an amendment to Section Four to change the word "shall" to Vary What do you think about the bomb scares? j "I don't care about them. I will go on teaching in Dey Hall anyway." W7hat do you think about the bomb scares? "I think it's people who are trying to get out of class or exams." What do you think of the bomb scares? "It's all a commie plot." What do you think of the bomb scares? "I don't like 'em." What do you think of the bomb scares? "It's disruptive. It should be under the disruption policy, but they shouldn't bring in police.'" What do you think of the bomb scares? 'T think it's a blast." July and Friday said he will have some proposals of change to make. The University has not been subjected to the violence which has marked other campuses, he said, "because the responsible leadership in Student Government and the faculty has prevented destruction." The freedom of the University is precious, said Friday, and "ail groups must seek to protect this freedom, an historic freedom of expression and action for which this University is known around the world." In the past, "having maintained open debate and free expression," he said, "there is real evidence that Amid Heated Debate comin&MOja im iMLuiies "should." The amendment to Section Four was passed. Section Four, as passed, reads: "No law, rule, regulation, custom or usage which is discriminatory as to sex or which applied only to one sex, should be enforceable in any student court or other University body." Miss Friedman also made a motion to recommit the bills to committee for further Parents 9 Weekend At Minion By Terry Cheek Staff Writer Project Hinton is a "Parents conducting Weekend" today and Sunday to show the parents of project members the lifestyle in UNCs first undergraduate coed experiment.

Project Hinton was recently renewed for another year's operation by Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson. In contrast to last spring, the project is having no difficulty this year in finding people to participate in their academic-social reform experiment. At their weekly dinner meeting last Thursday Hinton members made plans for a semester-end planning retreat at the beach. Old arid new members to the project will participate in the retreat. According to graduate fellow in residence Elliot Kent, over a dozen faculty mc-mbers have expressed serious interest in working with - the experiment next year.

Concerning the individual universities, Chapel HiU is the oldest branch of the Univenuty and "has achieved international prominence in many fields." remarked the president.

The majority of women legislators on the Student Party side joined Miss Friedman in voting against the bill, while those on the University Party side followed the lead of legislator Susan Case in voting for it. Later in the meeting a resolution was introduced to appropriate $600 from the executive secretary's salary to the recruitment of minority and disadvantaged students. Kelly Alexander, chairman of the Committee for the Advancement of Minority and Disadvantaged Students, was called upon to explain present recruitment measures taken.
