pursestrings: the Student Legislature.
The body's functions include: v ,
setting judicial policies;
-creating a forum for student opinion;
-maintaining -an - administrative
responsibility over student courts and
-confirming presidential
appointments.
Student Legislature's most important
function, however, remains' the
Disruptions
Suits Dropped
By University
by Rick Gray
Associate Editor
Charges of disruption against three
UNC students were dropped over the
summer by the University.
In a separate case, a suit against the
University testing the constitutionality of
the present disruptions policy is awaiting
trial in U. S. District Court in
Greensboro.
Charges against Jack McLean and Glen
Williamson, both of the Black Student
Movement, and against John C. Wheeler,
sociology graduate student, were dropped
after the disruptions policy was rewritten
by the Executive Committee of the Board
of Trustees.
The three, along with political science
graduate student Alex Willingham, were
charged with disrupting the University
following a clash between pickets and
police at Lenoir Hall during last
November's cafeteria workers' strike.
Charges were filed in February, and
only Willingham's case actually saw the
beginning of proceedings before school
ended.
After two sessions before the Hearings
Committee, charges against Willingham
were dropped.
David Blevins, a lecturer in the UNC
School of Social Work, is now awaiting
the outcome of a suit against the
University which will probably be heard
sometime late this winter.
Blevins, lecturing at the Charlotte
branch of the School of Social Work,
refused to meet his scheduled class Oct.
15, 1969, the day of the first Vietnam
Moratorium.
Blevins was brought to trial in January
under the disruptions policy and
convicted.
No action was taken against Blevins
other than refusing to re-hire him for the
coming year.
He filed suit in Fifth District Court in
Greensboro charging the disruptions
policy violated his Constitutional rights
and asking that he be reinstated as a
lecturer.
Blevins' attorney Adam Stein of the
Charlotte law firm of Ferguson, Lanning
and Stein said the University had filed
motions for dismissal which have been
denied.

Of Fees,
Students
administration of funds collected from
student fees.
Each student pays a mandatory fee of
$18 at the beginning of each year which
goes directly into a Student Government
fund.
According to Legislator Gerry Cohen,
about one third of the budget for The
Daily Tar Heel, the student Newspaper,
comes from Student Government funds.
An appropriation of $83,000 annually
goes to the Student Union to finance its
activities and student facilities, Cohen
said.
This year's Student Legislature will
. have 27 seats occupied by members of
the Student Party political camp, 1 1 from
the University Party, four from
Conservative Party, and 8 Independents.
Presiding officers will be: Bill Blue,
speaker; Charlie Dean, majority leader
and speaker pro tempore; Steve Ayers,
University Party floor leader; Gene Yates,
Finance Committee chairman; and Susan
Case, Rules Committee chairman.
The first official meeting of the
legislature this year will be held
Thursday, Sept. 24. The meeting will be
open to the public.
The first item SL will consider will be
a bill to create a Communications Board
in place of the Publications Board.
Other issues will include the
administration's Visitation Policy, judicial
reforms, and student consumer issues,
Cohen said.
Cohen indicated that 1 1 seat vacancies,
remain to be filled due to summer
resignations of legislators. Student Body
Tom Bello will appoint representatives to
temporarily fill the vacancies.
Those vacancies and any others that
occur before Oct. 21, will be filled -permanently
by a special election of SL.

The University offers two Reserve
Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs
for students interested in completing
their military requirement as officers in
the Navy or Air Force upon graduation
from school.
"Navy ROTC was created to bring
young civilian, educated men into the
Navy and Marine Corps leadership ranks,
to benefit from their fresh minds and 1
talents and to keep the citizen-soldier
balance that our country's founders
intended," said Captain Vincent J.
Anania, commanding officer.
The UNC unit is the largest Navy
ROTC unit in the nation with about 400
midshipmen whose college majors vary
from psychology to business
administration. Joining the unit are 40
midshipmen under Navy scholarship and
over 80 who have applied for the contract
program.
Air Force ROTC utilizes the "whole
man concept" to produce well-rounded

officers for possible careers in the Air
Force, according to Lt. Colonel Paul E.
Smith, commanding officer.
Courses taught by Air Force officers
stress management principles useful in
military service and historical background
in the aerospace world.
"We are not teaching any technical
courses," Lt. Col. Smith said, "although
some seniors who are eligible for pilot
training receive instruction on their own
free time at a local airport."
Beginning spring semester, the unit
here will join 95 other universities in
inducting women into the Air Force
ROTC as officer candidates. Smith said
he expects several sophomore girls to
join.
After attending summer camp, the
girls will be able to act as advisors to
incoming freshmen girls next year who
want to become cadets, Smith explained.
"In the future ROTC scholarships will
be open equally to females as well as to
males," Smith said.

The 1970-71 Student Government
budget was cut by $16,000 during a
special summer session of the Student
Legislature.
The budget cuts affected ten campus
organizations.
The legislature also appropriated
$20,000 to establish a student-operated
print shop.
The print shop, Carolina Graphics,
now in the basement-of the Carolina
Union, will service student publications
and provide a quick copy center for
students.
Supporters of the appropriation told
legislators the expected profit could bring
about establishment of a student-financed
scholarship fund, an independent Daily
Tar Heel and a student government
independent of student fees.
Student Body President Tom Bello
said, in an interview during the summer,
"There has been a lot of criticism about
the inability of Student Government to
adequately serve students and to meet
scholarship money deficiencies. I think
the vote by the legislature is a step to
ameliorate these inadequacies."
Another bill proposed during the
summer SL meeting proposed that a
Communications Board be created to
replace the present Publications Board.
The board would be in charge of The
Daily Tar Heel, The Yackety-Yack, The
Carolina Quarterly, The Carolina
Handbook, The Summer Tar Heel, WCAR
radio, Carolina Graphics, Student Services
Commission and the Student
Transportation Commission.
The bill to create the Communications
Board was postponed unil the first
meeting this fall.
Budget cuts made by the SL included:
-$6,000 from the Graduate Student
Government;
-$3,000 from the Residence College
Federation;
ram
buildings behind Manning Hall, the corps
includes about 100 cadets. Eight new
juniors have been accepted and about 65
incoming freshmen have applied, Smith
reported.
A female auxiliary organization to the
corps, Angel Flight, will again participate
in the community projects and act as
hostesses at official functions. Girls in
Angel Flight, Lt. Col. Smith pointed out,
are not in the military.
"Angel Flight is similar to a sorority,"
he said.
Their projects have included helping in
a local hospital and giving Thanksgiving
and Christmas parties at nursing homes in
the area.
Girls interested in joining the flight
can get information from Carol Craven,
president.
Included in the corps is the Arnold Air
Society, national honorary organization.
The group advocates the support of
aerospace and promotes Air Force ROTC
on campus.
Instructors include Lt. Col. Smith,
Major David Jackson and Captain Dennis
Gilcrest.

Student Body Treasurer Guil Waddell,
in recommending the cuts to SL, cited
inconsistent enrollment projections as a
major factor in the $16,000 cut.
Previously, Student Government
estimated the total income of Student
Government before making a budget.
Waddell said the last two years'
enrollment projections had been
inaccurate, therefore, there was less
income than predicted.
"Student Government ended up
spending more than they had counted on

by $15,000 over the past two years,"
Waddell said.
Student Government plans to operate
budget procedures this year by budgeting
only the amount of last year's total
income, according to Waddell.
."Last year's total income was
$245,000, yet the 1970-71 bedget before
SL's meeting called for $260,000," the
treasurer explained. "I called for a
$15,000 cut to make sure Student
Government would no deficit spend."
Despite rumored over-enrollment this
year, Waddell maintains that the budget
cuts should remain.
"Students who drop out during the
year will alter the situation by making the
total income less," Waddell claimed. "Our
first concern is making up the deficit of
the past two years."
Waddell said although SL cut $16,000
from the budget while appropriating
$20,000 to The Daily Tar Heel, no deficit
exists.
"The $20,000 came from the working
capital that was left over from last year's
budget," he said. 'The $16,000 cut was
made on the 1970-71 budget."
