Student Body Treasurer Gull Waddell
said Tuesday former University Party
official Jim Flynt was not named party
chairman because he had "shirked" his
previous duties with the party.
Waddell said the chairmanship
rightfully belongs to Steve Ayers, the
party's Student Legislative floor leader.
On Monday, Flynt charged Waddell
with political railroading by delivering the
chairmanship to Ayers, although Flynt
was next in line for the job.
Waddell siad Tuesday the position
originally should have gone to former UP
Policey Vice Chairman Gary Fagg. Fagg,
however, was arrested last spring for sale
and possession of amphetamines and later
ocnvicted.
According to Waddell, since Fagg
could not hole the position, the next in
line would have been the organizational
vice chairman.
"It was the opinion of a majority of
the executive board that Flynt was not
interested in his position of
organizational vice chairman," Waddell
said. "He obviously shirked his
responsibilities as organizational rice
chairman and failed to aid in the party's
legislative and student governerntn officer
campaigns."
Waddell said the party needed a
temporary means of filling the void
presumably left by Flynt during the
campaigns.
"Also, no one stepped forward to
assume party leadership at that time,"
Waddell said. "Since Steve (Ayers) was
the next in succession following the
organizational vice chairman and since he
was the party's floor leader in the
legislature, the majority of the executive
board voted to replace Flynt."
"As far as Jim Hornstein's being
elected to as as vice chairman is
concerned, he played a major role in the
campaigns last spring, so we felt he was
deserving."
Flynt also had charged the UP
Two Houses Stick To 7-24 Policy
by Bob Chapman
Staff Writer
. The residence houses are sticking with
their adoption of seven-day, 24-hour
visitation, an agreement which is
unacceptable to the university
administration.
Carr dorm and the fourth floor of
Hinton James have refused to pass the
administration's Open House Agreement,
Dean of Men Fred Schroeder said
Tuesday. Both houses, he said, are
considered to have no visitation policy by
the administration.
Friday it was discovered five houses
had" passed the seven-day, 24-hour"
agreement in a meeting of house
presidents with Schroeder. Since then
two of the houses, Mangum and Grimes,
have signed the Open House Agreement.
Old West, which originally passed the
24-hour visitation, was considering
accepting the administration's policy,
schroeder said. However, there had been
no radificaiton Tuesday evening.
The DTH incorrectly reported
Tuesday Chi Psi house and Many dorn
had not passed the Open House
Agreement. Both houses have signed the
administration's policy.
Only one alleged violation of the Open
House Agreement has been reported,
reported Dean Schroeder. The violation
was reported this weekend on the fourth
floor of James dormitory.
Controversy over" open house rules
arose after the Student Legislature last
Thursday amended the administration's
agreemtn to allow 24-hour visitation.

ex Education Symposium
.Med By Women Staderts

Staff Writer
The Association of Women Students
(AWS) is sponsoring a sex education
symposium during October. AWS will
also take part in revision of women's rules
this fall.
The sex symposium will begin Oct. 13
with a panel discussion in the Great Hall
of the Student Union featuring Dr. Takey
Crist of the Health Education Clinic and
Dr. Donald Harris of the Student
Infirmary.
The pamphlet "Elephants and
Butterflies" will be distributed during the
symposium to all women students who
want one.
"Elephants and Butterflies" was
written by a group of UNC medical
students this summer. It concerns sex
education, contraceptives and abortion
and was written with the help of the
Carolina Population Center.
Group discussions will be held in each
dormitory and sorority house by
physicians as part of the symposium.
Also this fall AWS will select the
student members of the University's
Implementation J3oard, which will
re-evaluate women's rules. HAlf of the
board members will be students and the
other half will be administration
appointed. AWS will divide the student
seats proportionally among all calsses,
freshmanthrough senior, and will include
women from sororities, apartments and
dorms in the appointments.
AWS was influential in obtaining
s e 1 f -1 i m it ing hours for all
upperclasswomen and second-semester
freshmen last spring.
"There are many changes needed to be
made," said Mary Vallier, president of
AWS. "Most of our rules exist now for
freshmen and junior transfers."
The senior nursing student said AWS
offers "a sound and equal relationship
with the channels of legitimate changes at
UNC for women with the dean of
women, a sounding board for women
students."

ratify an agreement, five houses chose
SL's option.
According to Dean Schroeder, a house
with the 24-hour policy is considered by
the administration to have no acceptable
policy.
After the meeting with house
presidents last Friday, Schroder told
representatives from the five houses what
their options were.
Under the official policy, visitation is
allowed from noon to 1 a.m. Sunday
through Thursday and from noon to 2
a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Violations of the hew policy fall under
ihe - jurisdiction' ""of student" courts
according to the dean of men. Violations
of the SL amendment, however, come
under the jurisdiction of a special
faculty-administrative board.
Schroeder could give no details of the
reported violation. Attorney General
John McDowell noted the case cannot be
tried by student courts.
McDowell added if SL backs down
Thursday night and accepts the
administration's policy without the
amendment, he feels the student who
allegedly violated the policy would be
given the option of being tried in the
student court.
UNC Building
Half Finished
Construction of the new General
Administration Buidling of the
Consolidated University is more than
half-completed, according to Dr. A.K.
King, vice president for Institutional
Studies.
The structure is expected to be
completed in April of 1971, King said. It
will cost over $1 million, exclusive of
furnishings.
The building is located just off
Highway 54 west of the 15-501
interchange adjacent ot the Chapel Hill
Country Club.
' The six and three-quarter acre lot was
purchased from the UNC Athletic
Department for $60,000.
Under the Open House Agreement it is
the responsibility of the officers and
residents of the house, working with the
attorney general and the student judicial
system to insure the policy is upheld.
executive board with meeting during the
summer vacation without notifying at
least two of its members!.
Waddell said an executive board
meeting was held in March to discuss
campaigns with eight members out of ten
participating. Waddell indicated one of
the members not at the meeting was
Flynt, a member of the executive board.
"Steve was appointed to serve as
acting chairman," Waddell claimed. "He
had only one function to perform and
that was to call the first organizational
meeting this fall to elect the party's
officers."
Commenting on the UP party meeting
set for Sunday by Flynt, Waddell said "I
doubt seriously if that is a valid meeting.
Technically, it is up to Ayers to call the
first meeting."
Flynt also made allegations concerning
Ayers and Waddell's membership in Pi
Kappa Phi fraternity when he said, "I'm
tired of seeing fraternities railroad
political parties."
Ayers said no fraternity as a unit has a
role in the party's organized structure.
Waddell said Flynt is "possibly
harboring grudges toward the fraternity
system due to incidents occurring in the
part." Waddell did not elaborate.
CP MEETING
The UNC Conservative Party will meet
today at 7:30 p.m. in Gerrard Hall to
discuss the coming campus elections and
the situation concerning the fund freeze
against Student Government.

UNC Infirmary Handles
65,000 Cases A Year

Staff Writer
Almost 75 percent of the student body
at the University will pay at least one visit
this year to the infirmary for illnesses
ranging from common colds to heart
attacks.
Dr. James Taylor, assistant director of
the UNC infirmary, said the number of
outpatients (those who require no
hospitalization) averages about 250-325 a
day or about 65,000 a year.
"A common misconception among
students is that the infirmary is part of
the hospital," Taylor said in an interview
Friday. "This is not true. We are an
entirely separate and distinct facility. The
only resemblence is that we are located in
the same building."
The 65-bed infirmary has an operating
budget of over S500.000 and a full-time :
staff of nine doctors and about 15 nurses
plus student aides.
In addition, there is a part-time
psychologist and psychiatrist.
Student health fees pay for the
operation of the infirmary. "The state
supplemented infirmary costs until about
four years ago but the general assembly
voted to do away with this," said Taylor.
Medical treatment for UNC students is
free for outpatients. A patient bears the
expense for any medicine prescribed.
The infirmary is offering prescriptions
for borth control pills for the first time
this school year.
The infirmary does not actually
dispense the pill but follows the same
procedure used in prescribing other drugs
and medicine, said Taylor.
This involves a private discussion with
one of the infirmary doctors before a
prescription is permitted. "We are
prepared to meet with an individual, offer
advice, a nd , if I necessary; gi ve a
prescription." he said.
Since the infirmary does not have the
facilities for surgery, such ailments as
bone fractures and appendectomies are
treated at the hospital and paid for by the
student.
Also the student pays for any
consultation service if other doctors are
required.
"The great majority of cases don't
need consultation," said Taylor. "If a
student requires an operation at
Memorial, for instance, the student will
be taken back to the infirmary and will
be under free consultation from doctors.
All he has to pay for is the operation and
the meals."
As expected, the most common
illnesses are respiratory ailments such as
sore throats and flu, followed by injuries
of all types.
"We sometimes handle a few serious
injuries," said Taylor. "We sometimes
have people in here with heart attacks',
but this is rare."
