University is pumping two million gallons
of water from Durham's Mickey Lake
daily to supplement the water supply in
University Lake.
The level of the lake Thursday was 42
and three-fourths inches below normal.
Culbreth said Wednesday the lake was
25 percent below its 600 million gallon
capacity, leaving approximately 450
miolion gallons of water in the lake.
Culbreth said the current water supply
combined with the water from Durham
would last the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area
until the middle of January. Without the
The first round of sorority rush began
Wednesday night and ends tonight.
"Rush is going really well," said Miss
Julie Jones, assistant dean of women for
sororities. "I am quite pleased with the
response."
Girls were divided into alphabetical
groups for the first round.
The parties began after a Tuesday night
convocation for all rushees. Margo
Fletcher, president of Panhellenic
Council, introduced the other council
members at the convocation. Nancy
Nyrop, Panhellenic rush chairman,

students. Exchanges are with France,
Germany, Colombia and Puerto Rico.
"Exchanges are an integral part of the
ISC," said Jeff HiUiker, ISC chairman.
"They bring in undergraduate foreign
students who would otherwise not be
here, in addition to affording students an
opportunity for study abroad. Since they
are full scholarships any student
regardless of his economic status can
come or go."
The ISC also sponsors each year an
International Week of dinners, speakers,
films and parties. It operates a travel
information center, a radio program on
WUNC and an intensive language study
program.
The language study program is free
and operates with small, informal groups
in the Carr lobby. Classes help foreign
students to learn English and American
students to learn foreign languages.

issues, films and speakers. All activities
are open to the university community.
"The ISC is basically unstructured. Its
major direction is to promote
international awareness on campus by
encouraging people to get to know
foreign students. The center changes from
year to year, reflecting the people
involved. It is completely
people-oriented," said Hilliker.
Hilliker added, "Class and campus
relationships are superficial and typically
American. The only way to know
someone is to sit down in a comfortable,
informal atmosphere and talk. This is
what we try to do here and we invite any
interested student to drop by Carr and do
the same."
About his year in Paris as an exchange
student, Dick Betts, a senior from
Charlotte, said, "It's one of the best
university exchanges I know of. I was
hired as an English instructor and paid
well.

Student Graphics Funds
Approved By 20-2 Vote

Staff Writer
Student Legislature voted Thursday to
refuse and amendment to the Open
House Agreement passed last week and
maintained their previous stance of
allowing student courts to try only those
students in violation of their individual
residence house's policy.
The judiciary committee's amendment
which would have repealed any reference
to seven-day a week, 24-hour a day
visitation, was tabled after two substitute
amendments were defeated.
In other legislative action, a bill to
reorganize and restrict the Student
Graphics printery was passed by a vote of
20-2.
After the SL meeting adjourned.
Student Body President Tom Bello said
he would ask President Friday for a
meeting, to be held wihtthin the next
week, to discuss the entire visitation
situation.
Bello suggested that 10 members of the
legislature and one representative from
each dorm that adopted the SL policy
also participate in the meeting.

Culbreth said a two-foot addition to
the dam at University Lake was
completed early this month. The
addition, which . resulted after . , a
four-month drought that dropped , the
level of University Lake 96 inches in
1968, will increase the capacity of the
reservoir to about 750 million gallons,
Culbreth said.
Daily water consumption in the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro area for the past ten days,
Culbreth said, is running at about five
million gallons.
Normal daily consumption in the area
is about four million gallons, and the
predictions on how long the current
supply will last were made on the basis of
four and one-half million gallons daily.
Culbreth said he expects water
consumption to drop when the weather
cools off.
The water shortage of 1968 forced the
town and the University to enact
emergency measures to conserve water.
Residents were "asked to refrain from
watering lawns and washing cars while
restaurants were asked to discontinue the
serving of water.
All physical education classes in the
University were cancelled and the Kenan
Stadium grass was left unwatered.
Dormitory residents were asked not to
flush urinals but twice a day and to cut
down on showers.

Legislator Judi Friedman offered a
substitute amendment which would have
allowed student courts to try an
violation of any accepted policy if the
violator so chose. That amendment was
defeated by a 17-13 vote.
Legislator Alan Hirsch offered a
substitute amendment which would have
authorized student courts to try
violations of the administration's policy
on the conditions that the maximum
penalty would be unofficial reprimand.
The bill was defeated by a 19-9 vote.
After the two substitute amendments

The housing shortage appears to be
about over, Robert Kepner, director of
Resident Life at the University, reported
Thursday.
"We have weathered the housing
crisis," Kepner said. He reported that
only three undergraduate men were
without a permanent dormitory room
Thursday evening.
There is no longer a waiting list for
graduate men, he said and no women lack
a place to stay.
The housing crisis reached its peak on
Sept. 14, Kepner said, when a total of 49
UNC students were without a place to
live. Since then the situation has
gradually eased.
For almost two weeks Housing

even residence house on the campus
would be willing to vote in 24-hour a day
visitation then "nobody would get hurl."
However, two legislators, representing
constituents who had jlreadv voted in
last spring's SL policy, indicated there
could be some doubt on the willingness
of these students to admit guilt.
Bello, adding afterthoughts to the
killed bill, said "it would be foolish to
assume that the administration will not
try students. If the administration does
not choose to try students, then the
Trustees will get an administration that
will."
Legislature passed a bill to reorganize

incoming students. Even so, more
students continued to come and add to
an already long waiting list.
"By the first of next week at the very
latest," Kepner said, "we will have found
housing for anybody who needs it or who
wants it."
Students are no longer having to stay
in the basement of Stacy dormitory,
which was set up as temporary living
quarters for men on the waiting list.
Kepner said that some women are still
having to reside in converted study rooms
in the dormitories. He said these will
gradually be assigned to rooms as
vacancies appear.
The waiting list remained critical
through last week, but was reduced to 24
on Monday, 15 by Tuesday and to fewer
than 10 on Wednesday.
