Page Two THE DAILY TAR HEEL Tuesday, September 151970 DM MO Continued from page one a violation of the policy. If he feels a violation has occurred he directs the chancellor to proceed with the following actions: -notify the person charged of the specific .violations with which he is charged and of the trail procedures; -submit to the University Hearings Committee a list of the charges and a summary of the information on which the charges are based; and -appoint a prosecutor to represent the University. The Hearing Committee then conducts the hearing, determines guilt or innocence and submits "a written summary of its findings and its decision to the chancellor . and to the accused person as promptly as possible." As in the revised policy, failure of the accused to appear at the hearing can result in indefinite suspension or discharge. The chancellor, upon receiving the Hearing Committee report, sends the report to the president. The president then reviews the committee's findings with the option to re-refer the case to the committee "for further hearings or clarification." "After receiving the committee's final decision," under the present policy, "the president, in consultation with the chancellor, shall determine what disciplinary action, if any, shall be taken in the case." Appeal under the present policy is made to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. The changes worked out over the summer consolidate most of the power provided by the policy under the chancellor. He is the only one who can initiate the proceedings, and he is the only one who conducts the investigation. The appeal, under the revisions, is made to the president. His decision may be appealed to the Executive Committee. The other major revision is in the definition of disruption. The present policy states, "Any student, faculty member (including full-time or part-time instructor) or employee who willfully by use of violence, force, coercion, threat, intimidation or fear, obstructs, disrupts or attempts to obstruct or disrupt, the normal operations or functions of...the University, or who advfses, procures or incites others to do so, shall be subject to suspension, expulsion, discharge or dismissal from the University." The revised policy, on the same topic, reads: "Any faculty member...any graduate student engaged in the, instructional program or any student who, with the intent to obstruct or disrupt any normal operation or function of the University...engages, or incites others to engage, in individual or collective conduct which destroys or significantly damages any University property, or which impairs or threatens impairment of the physical well-being of any member of the University community, or which, because of its violent, forceful, threatening or intimidating nature, or because it restrains freedom of lawful movement, otherwise prevents any member of the University community from conducting his normal activities within the University, shall be subject to prompt and appropriate disciplinary action, which Sitterson, FViday Say Disruption Rules Better by Rick Gray Associate Editor The revised Disruption Policy is a "better policy" in the view of Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson. "We had a broader based participation in the drawing of this policy than we had in the other," Sitterson said of the policy, which will be voted on by the Board of Trustees in October. "I think a community is more likely to respect something that's been worked out by all facets of the University community," he said. Consolidated University President William C. Friday agrees with Sitterson's evaluation of the revised policy. UNC Increases City Water Rates Water rates this year in Chapel Hill will be more than double the rates cf last year due to an increase approved by the University in July. The town of Chapel Hill and the University are negotiating a contract for a one-year pilot bus system to serve the University, Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The new water rates were set by the University in July to finance a new expansion program in facilities. The minimum monthly charge was raised from $2.00 to $3.60. . The town and the University are presently at odds over the rate increase and Mayor Howard Lee has announced the town's intention to take over control of all utilities. The University owns the electric and phone companies in Chapel Hill as well as the water system. too may include discharge or suspension, dismissal expulsion, from the University." The revisions, while clearing up some of the previous vagueness in the policy, do add the element of "intent" into the policy, and element which is not in the present policy. There is also a major addition to the revised policy which allows a special parlel to bar a student or faculty member from the campus if they feel he may disrupt the normal functioning of the University. The section, titled "Aggravated Acts or Threatened Repetition of Acts," calls for the appointment of an Emergency Consultative Panel composed of from three to five faculty members and three to five students "who shall be available to advise with the chancellor in an emergency." The section establishing the panel reads: "If, in the judgment of the Chancellor, there is clear and convincing evidence that a person has committed any of the acts prohibited...which, because of the aggravated character or probable repetition of such acts, necessitates immediate action to protect the University from substantial interference with any of its orderly operations or functions, or to prevent threats to or acts which endanger life or property, the Chancellor, with the concurrence...of the Emergency Consultative Panel...may forthwith suspend such person from the University and bar him from the University campus." A person afected by such action would be notified in the same manner as any person charged with a disruptive act and would be entitled to a hearing before the panel within ten days. However, the person would be barred from campus until the panel, after the hearing, voted to withdraw the penalty. If the chancellor is absent from campus or unable to act, the president holds th powers provided in the section. The revised policy is preceded by a statement upholding the right of dissent and the tradition of dissent in the academic community as does the present policy. Nixon Commission Concludes Pornography Not Harmful by Karen Jurgensen ' 4 ' Staff Writer " ' Did reading "Fanny Hill" sexually stimulate you? When you saw "I Am Curious (Yellow)" were you sexually aroused? Does reading "Playboy" sexually pervert you? According to preliminary reports of a study soon to be released by President Nixon's Commision on Pornography and Obscenity these forms of "art" should have no lasting or detrimental effect on an individual or his behavior. The findings of this report were partly based on a study conducted in Chapel Hill by Drs. James L. Howard, Clifford B. Reifler and Myron B. Liptzin. "We had heretofore two documents," he said, "and now there is only one. The new one removes some of the ambiguities and vagueness and some of the cumbersomeness in implementing the policy. 'The policy is an improvement," he continued, " and it does reflect the changes that were necessary to make it a more effective document." Sitterson said the new policy makes two major changes in the old policy. "The definition of a disruption has been more sharply and accurately defined," he said, "and mose cases could be tried by existing Judicial bodies or by a hearing committee to be drawn from a panel of faculty and students. 'This new policy show confidence in the existing judicial bodies," he said. The revised policy, which will not take effect until ratified by the Board of Trustees, was worked out during the summer by the membership of the Chancellor's Consultative Forum and a sub-committee of the Executive Committee of the Trustees. The cooperation of the forum and the Trustees, Friday said, "has demonstrated that the University can evolve a policy statement by direct and serious involvement of all the University community." The revisions, basically, make two changes in the policy, Friday said. They consolidate most of the authority for implementing and carrying out the 'provisions in the chancellor's office, making the University president an appeals board, and they give a more complete definition of "disruptive acts." One section of the policy, Friday said, was added "to deal with the excessive case." The section allows for "forthwith suspension" for "probable repetition" of disruptive acts or "aggravated character" of the acts. - 'T?"-" ' "' 1 V." . t il , ' yf -v v y. e I "' ' - O ' r ,- - i r-V 'Hi tc-v - ' " 4 v l yrrt jy , : V! c ; .-- y5-? Z . HrV'i rr;tf- : Unce upon a time Colonel Davie was supposed to have had a swinging time near the Davie Poplar. But Mitch Strauss The three men were associated with the department of psychiatry (Reifler and Liptzin have now left the University) and were among approximately 30 groups to be funded by the commission. Investigators studied the effect on the individual of pornography, which is becoming increasingly more present in American culture. Howard and his associates chose 23 male volunteers between the ages of 21 and 23. Subjects were asked to spend 90 minutes a day for 15 days in a room equipped with pornographic films, stills, magazines and books. Non-pornographic material was also available. Participants could spend the time in any way they liked. Howard and his associates found as as the subjects became bored and satiated they prefered to read the non-pornographic material or to daydream or to sleep rather than view the available erotic materials. Reacting to Howard's project Rep. Robert Nix, D.-Pa. stated, "Frankly this horrifies me. I want to know if these boys' parents approved their participation in this." Others accused Howard of coercion and "force-feeding" of smut. In reply Howard said the boys were all of age legally and could decide for themselves whether they should participate. Everyone knew what to expect and what they were doing, according to Howard. Housing Continued from page one completely filled as of last week with the closest possible renting space as far away from campus as Durham. "Students without autos are out of luck," Wadsworth sympathized. "Men and women are in the same predicament. "We try to remain optimistic with anyone who comes into the office," Wadsworth offered. "We hope that anyone in the Chapel Hill vicinity with space to rent will call the Housing Office." Student Body President Tommy Bello Thursday expressed concern over rent increase possibilities on a large-scaiejasis by the area's landlords. The Bello administration last week announced plans for a consumer protection service headed by presidential advisor Carl Stauber. ' "We're going to be keeping a close eye on the landlords," Bello said. "We hope to madke wure that the students aren't hurt by the crowded conditions." Bello also voiced fears that a crowded mass of people frustrated by the existing conditions might lead, to volatile emotions and possible violence later on in the year. "Similar to Woodstock, we are faced with a situation in which each of. us must treat each other like brothers," Bello said. "I am calling on each indidivual student to do his part in "watching out for the other guy' and help us pull out of this problem," he said. V - -r - j, I finds it a Dit more auncuit to accomplish the same feat. (Staff photo by John Gellman) The commission report based primarily, on the 30 investigations was due to be released this week, however commission member Charles Keating has obtained ,a court injunction against releasing the report. He feels that the group has "perverted and subverted its purpose." As a result the commission will have to go to court to obtain permission to release its report. Howard stated that Keating believes the commission was conceived to investigate better ways of controlling pornography rather than whether it was really harmful or not. As it stands the law considers pornography to be anything which appeals to prurient interests or which shocks or offends the standards of the community unless it has some redeeming social value. Although the commission report has not been released, Howard said the conclusion is that pornography is not harmful and the sale of pornography to adults should be legalized. Evidence from investigations carried out under commission funding indicates that pornography is not harmful, said Howard. Howard said exposure to pornography was a relatively innocuous stimulus without lasting or detrimental effect on the individual or his behavior. Although he said the commission report may not liberalize censorship "it will knock the pins out from anyone who wants harsher laws." 7 0 Deadly - tj o j- .H-f r r -t : Persoraie USC Sews Bureau Glenn Wilson, executive vice president of the Kaiser Community Health Foundation in Cleveland has joined the University of North Carolina faculty as associate dean for Community Health Services in the School of Medicine.

Finley Lee Jr. as Julian Price Associate Professor of Life Insurance at the UNC School of Business Administration was announced by Dean Maurice W. Lee, Aug. 25. "The School of Business Administration is heavily indebted to the family of the late Julian Price for the imaginative Julina Price Endowment which has made possible the appointment of a second Julian Price Professor," Dean Lee said in making the announcement. The senior professor bearing the Julian Price designation is Frank J. Schwentker, Julian Price Lecturer in Life Insurance since 1953, and the original appointee to the Price Chair. The Julian Price Endowment was established in 1947, by Mr. Ralph C. Price Bryan of Greensboro, as a memorial to their father, former president of Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company. . In addition to the professorships of life insurance, the Julian Price Endowment has provided generous support for graduate students in business administration and economics. J. Finley Lee Jr., the new Julian Price Associate Professor, earned the doctorate degree in applied economics at the University of Pennsylvania in H?65, where he held a Huebner Foundation Fellowship. Dr. Mark I. Appelbaum, a member of Cafeterias Continued from page one The University hired Servomation after studying the bids . of six other companies. Catlin said he anticipated no labor problems with the employees of his food service. "I don't think well have any of those kind of problems," he said, referring to the disputes of the past two years, "I'm starting out new and I just don't anticipate that kind of trouble." When asked how many former SAGA employees who had been in the union had been given jobs, he replied, "All who asked for jobs that we could place. I don't recall turning any of them down." Servomation will employ about 100-125 persons, according to Catlin. The contract with the University will run until May 31, 1971. Registration in Woollen is always a deadly bore.

Vice Chancellor Miller's administrative role has taken purview over the six-fold medical health complex at Chapel Hill, including the School of Medicine. Public Health School, Pharmacy School, School of Dentistry, School of Nursing and the North Carolina Memorial Hospital. Miller said that after nine years in medical administrative work at Chapel Hill and at the University of Kansas, his long range devotion to his primary interests of maternal and child health and pediatrics promoted the decision to take effect in the same year that Chancellor Sitterson himself resigns to return to teaching and research in the University's History Department. Scholarship Fund Gives 36 Grants More than thirty-six scholarship grants have been made available to disadvantaged students since the establishment of the University of North Carolina Fund by the Faculty Council last spring. These grants enable students presently receiving loans to reduce the amount they must borrow. Voluntary action by UNC faculty and employees is providing funds for the program by authorizing monthly deductions from their bank accounts ranging from five to twenty-five dollars each. Members of the faculty are making new authorizations since their return from summer vacation. According to William Geer, head of the Student Aid Office, "The University of North Carolina Fund is solid evidence of the faculty concern for disadvantaged students, both black and white. It is already serving to provide assistance which is greatly needed. "The faculty are showing evidence of their willingness to assist our most needy students," he said. Women Ahead In Scholastics Women have a scholastic lead over the men here at UNC. According to the spring, 1970 undergraduate scholastic averages, women students on campus have achieved an average of 2.7617 as compared to the men's average of 2.4717. The sorority overall average of 2.7723 also topped the fraternity overall average of 2.5591. 4, 1 up a bit for him once classes start. (Staff photo by John Gellman)
