"As the members of the members of the present generation
grow oldet than 30 and are still wearing their beads, beards and
moustaches, their youth will try to be different the other
way maybe crew-cuts and the like."
This comment was made Friday during a personal interview
with Dean of Men James O. Cansler as he discussed future
changes in student attitudes, past changes in student attitudes and
the issues of student autonomy and the disruption policy.
"Over the long haul," said Cansler, discussing the future of the
University, "I see some rather radical change, taking the form of a
'new puritanism. W7e will see emerge in the youth culture then a
new movement calling for a different style of life than the present
youth culture is moving towards."
Cansler said he also sees some changes in the educational
process, and a major question that must be dealt with before
those changes can take place is to define "exactly what the nature
and purpose of a university is.
The answer, to this question must be determined by all the
elements of the academic community, students, faculty,
administration and non-academic employes, he continued

meeting that the day-care

"Jones told me that a

UNC.
Dr. Reginald Hawkins,
whose son is a senior at the
University, said, "We feel as
parents that it is necessary to
challenge the racist and
repressive actions on college
campuses that are being used
against our children."
The concern of the parents
grew out of the events which
during the past week.
"We hope the newsletter
will evoke student suggestions
and feedback," she said. "Of
course, some students will just
throw it away, but if just a few
show interest then it will have
been worth the effort."
She said the newsletter
would continue to be
distributed on Sunday night
and Monday mornings because
the Daily Tar Heel does not
come out on Monday.

both Morehead and

Saunders said a member of
Woman's Liberation had told
him after the meeting that no
decision would be reached
until August, and thattheir
proposal had not been ruled
out.
When contacted, Jones said
the Space Committee has an
surrounded the demonstrations
that , took place last semester to
protest the actions of Saga
Food Service and its
unwillingness to allow its
non-academic employees to
unionize.
Two of the students who
participated in the
demonstrations, Jack McLean
and Glenn Williamson, now
face charges of assualting an
officer and violation of the
Disruption Policy.
Dr. Hawkins stated that the
parents would officially
challenge the Disruption Policy
which is "aimed at those
undesirable black students who
expose corruption and
inequality on campuses against
black students."
Dr. Hawkins, who was also
elected chairman of the
committee, said that the
parents were requesting the
assistance of the North
Carolina Commission of Racial
Equality headed by Leon
White of Wake Forest to look
into the matter.

"But," Cansler warns, "If too many changes are permitted to
come about, it will transform the University into a technical
institution, training school, or an interim way station where
people spend a little time trying to answer non-academic
questions, such as their personal identity and self-motivation."
He feels the University has three basic purposes: "the
transmission of knowledge and information, the cultivation of a
capacity for rational thought and the development of mature,
sensitive human beings."
Students should spend some time searching for their personal
identity at the University, said Cansler, but they should never
forget the classroom.
To insure the development of mature human beings, the
University must be concerned with students wherever they are,
residence halls, apartments and classrooms, Cansler said.
This line of questioning led to Cansler's response to the
question of student autonomy.
"All of us want all the autonomy we can get," he said, "but
there must be some kind of balance between the wants and needs
of all facets of the University community.
"There will never be a place where any of us live that will
provide total autonomy," Cansler said.
"The freedom of all of us is restricted by participating in the

Monday.
Ted Young, manager of
SAGA, said Lenoir would
remain closed for the
remainder of the school year.
Students were informed of
the closing of the University's
largest dining hall by a sign on
the door instructing them to go
to the Pine Room where they
would be served.
Extra tables were moved
into the Pine Room snack bar
Monday, with the tables
eventually set-up in the lobby.

"For this

The Space Committee,
according to Saunders, is in
favor of granting use of the

May 27 and the University has
said there would be no
centralized food service on
campus during the summer.
University officials added
they have not completed a
study on whether to have a
centralized food service next
year.
Young termed the closing of
Lenoir "an economy move."
"We notified the University
Monday morning of what we
were doing," Young said.
"We're providing the same
service as before but on a
condensed level. Also, by
closing Lenoir, less workers are
needed."
Young said laying-off the 12
workers cut his full-time work
force to 45."
Before November's strike,
SAGA employed 148 full-time
workers. 63 of these were
phased out according to the
strike stettlement while the
other 50 were laid-off during
for their social, academic and
administrative activities.

occupied by AFROTC will be

"The larger part of the state doesn't share the values of the
subculture that is this University," he added.
Discussing the residence halls, Cansler said they "ought to be
as free and as open as possible, places where a person can have as
much possibility for a self-realization as possible."
Cansler was asked about students' contention that the dorms
should be ran as hotels are run, leaving the residents fairly free of
restrictions.
"Architecturally, most residence halls do not lend themselves
to privacy," replied Cansler, "which makes it impossible for a
man 'to do his thing' without having a genuine effect on someone
else."
Cansler was then asked about the disruption policy.
"I think it is fair to say, and eminently defensible to say,"
answered Cansler, "in an academic institution, where the very
purpose of the institution is to study and articulare knowledge,
the one unforgiveable transgression is the use of physical force,
either to make a point or to keep someone else from having his
say."
"Overt physical disruption has no place in a university," he
continued, "and I can'support and" defend the disruption policy
without any qualms whatsoever."

student patronage" for the
lay-offs.
Young said he had heard of
rumors that the University may
try and retain SAGA b'it
declined to say whether his
company would accept a new
contract.
"We would contemplate
staying when and if an offer is
made," Young said. "I feel,
there should be some type of
food service on this campus for
the sake of the workers and
students. We are not making
any plans to stay, however."
Young had said earlier the
University would have to offer
"a much more generous"
contract for SAGA to consider
remaining on campus.
Young labelled the food
operation on campus "a
financial lemon" and said with
the continual drop in business
his company would find it
almost impossibly to stay.
Business has dropped 56 per
cent from the pre-strike period,
Young added.

"Students here may say what they want and may print what
they want," he added, "so long as. it doesn't interfere with
anyone else's right to say what he wants."
Cansler also discussed how students have changed in the last
few years.
"Students are more concerned to be early participants in the
real stuff of living," Cansler commented, "than they were 10 or
20 years ago."
"They are far more sophisticated and mass media has been a
big factor in this," he said.
Cansler compared this sophistication to "the pill" and its
side-effects.
"Early maturation is good," he said, "but it, too, has potential
side effects."
A very radical change in student attitudes, said the dean, is
the increasing distrust of authority.
"There has come about within the List decade," Cansler said,
"A feeling of 'I don't care what the majority says, if I don't think
its right, I will reject it.' Thi has caused enormous problems."
"I am committed to the principle," Cansler concluded, "that
people must abide by the decisions oif the majority, although the
minority must certainly be considered."
