The UNC Cheerleaders voted 12-0
Tuesday night to adopt a by-law which
states that hair must be clean and neat
but must not get in the way or detract
from the cheerleader's performance.
No specifications about length are
included.
The issue of hair length was raised by
alumni after the Carolina -State football
game. Several alumni objected to the
length of cheerleader Bernie Oakley's
hair.
Oakley refused to cut his hair and with
this new by-law cheerleaders have
indicated that they support him.
Oakley said, "The situationis similar to
that of the student legislature with its
visitation policy at odds with the
administration policy. The question is,
are the students going to be allowed to
DTD Now A Social Fra
The Alpha Lambda chapter of Delta
Sigma Pi has changed from a business
fraternity to a social fraternity by
affiliating with the national organization
Delta Tau Delta.
The chapter changed so it could
compete more effectively with other
campus fraternities, according to Ron
Romeis, senior vice president.
"Our image has always been one of a
social fraternity," explained Romeis.
"The change from a national business
fraternity to a social one only made our
image official The only real difference
now is in our name."
The move was made in August. The 37

decide for themselves purely personal
matters?"
Complaints about Oakley's hair were
made to Athletic Director Homer Rice
who relayed them to the cheerleaders.
The Athletic Association is now
responsible for the cheering squad. In
previous years the squad was supported
by student legislature. This is the squad's
first full year under the Association.
"This will be a year of a lot of trials
and tribulations for the cheerleaders,"
Rice said. "I'll stand by them. I will not
interfere with or make their decisions. I
just want to make them aware of both
sides."
"I'd hate to see a young man like
Bernie put into a controversial position. I
hope it doesn't cause him a lot of
problems," Rice said.
"I don't want to make a big thing out
of it because I think it'll work itself out,"
Rice concluded.
brothers had discussed the proposal for
three months.
"The Alpha Lambda chapter has
served UNC for 45 years," said Bill
rodgers, secretary. "But for the last 15
years, Delta Sigma Pi has not been
performing as a professional fraternity.
We have been social in all aspects, such as
house living, etc.
"The national fraternity discouraged
these aspects," he added. "So we decided
to disaffiliate."
Delta Tau Delta is a member of
Inter-Fraternity Council and enjoys all
the privileges Delta Sigma Pi had.

The Trustee Consultative Committee
has tentatively set a meeting to discuss
the visitation issue on Oct. 1 1 or 12.

bir Waiter Payment
The State of North Carolina will file
suit sometime next week in an effort to
collect the town of Carrboro's unpaid
water bill.
Carrboro has . been refusing since
mid-summer to pay a 70-cent per 1,000
gallons water rate increase announced by
the University last spring. The money,
which normally would have been used to
pay the increase, has been put in escrow
since the rate increase became effective
July 1.
At that time, the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen voted unanimously to pay for
water at the former rate of 50 cents per
1,000 gallons.
Librarians
Find Home
In Manning
by Mark Perryman
Staff Writer
Manning Hall, focal point of the 1969
Food Workers' Strike, now serves as
home of the School of Library Science.
Built in 1922 to house the UNC Law
School, Manning was abandoned in 1968
when the new law building was
completed.
During the spring semester of 1969,
Manning was the setting for meetings of
striking workers and members of the
Black Student Movement. For several
weeks it housed a Soul Food cafeteria in
support of the workers.
Under orders of Gov. Robert Scott,
Manning was vacated in late March, 1968,
because it was considered a safety and
health hazard. Officials also objected to
obscenities blaring from a loudspeaker
outside the hall and rumors that weapons
were being transported into the building.
More than 100 highway patrolmen
were sent onto campus and the building
was vacated peacefully.
After evacuation by the strikers,
Manning remained empty until the
School of Library Science moved in this
fall.
The University appropriated $560,000
for renovation of the facility.
The move to Manning greatly
increased the space of the Library School,
formerly located on the fourth floor of
Wilson Library.
The new quarters afford the Library
School space to house a special children's
book collection and an audio-visual
laboratory, in addition to regular offices,
classrooms and a 60,000-volume library.
Dr. Ray L. Carpenter, acting dean of
the Library School, commented that
because of the move, "We are now much
better equipped to maintain and
strengthen an already well-established
position in the field."
"We are looking forward to a good
rush," said Romeis. "We have a full
schedule of fall activities."
Delta Tau Delta also is considering
buying or building a new house. Concrete
results are expected this year.
"We prefer a location close to the
present one, on 1 1 1 Pickard Lane, next
to the TEP house," said Romeis.
The Gamma Omega chapter of Delta
Tau Delta was established at UNC in
1921. It disbanded in the spring of 1939
due to financial problems and the onset
of World War II.
UNC alumni of Delta Sigma Pi are now
alumni of Delta Tau Delta.

informed of the tentative dates for the
meeting.
The meeting, first proposed by Bello
in a letter to Dean of Student Affairs C.
O. Cathey last week, was endorsed by
University Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson
Wednesday.
In other action concerning the
visitation controversy, .Dean of Men Fred
Schroeder said a hearing will be held soon
for the alleged violator of the
administration policy.

Neither University nor state officials
could be reached for comment late
Wednesday afternoon.
Carrboro Town Manager Bill Britt said
the town welcomed court action by the
state.
"We think we have sufficient evidence
to prove discrimination against Carrboro
in the exorbitant rate increase," he said.
Town attorney Bill Staton said in July,
following the board of aldermen's vote
not to pay the increase, that the town's
position is "without legal precedent" in
the state.
"Most public utilities are accountable
to a regulatory body," he said, "but the
University is not. The basic question is
whether a corporate body like the
University can act with unbridled
discretion in an area of public concern."
The 140 per cent increase in water
rates is necessary, according to University
officials, to raise extra revenues to
finance from $5.8 to $10.3 million in
improvements and expansion of the
, Chapel HiU-Carrboro-University water
supply at University Lake and to meet an
anticipated operating deficit of $218,145
during the 1970-71 fiscal year.
Fraternity Plaes.Fire Fund
Lambda chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma
fraternity has announced plans for a "Phi
Kap Fire Fund" which will begin October
9.
The campaign will hopefully raise
$300,000 to replace the fraternity house,
which was destroyed by fire last
December.
The projected $300,000 figure
represents the cost of replacing the house
with a three and one-half story building
including a study room, game room and
suite system. This money is to be raised
from alumni who may pledge their funds
over a three year period.

Schroeder would not release the name
of the violator but said he is a resident of
fourth floor Hinton James dormitory.
The student was charged with violating
the administration visitation policy two
weeks aeo.
The case will be heard by a three man

The rate increase which forced many
local realtors to raise rents, will produce
an estimated $636,000 in revenues this
fiscal year. That money will be used to
finance planning and initial development
of the improvements in the water system.
In a statement released with the
announcement of the rate increase the
University said, "The increasing
population growth now and projected for
the future reflects an urgent need for a
greatly expanded water system.
"The primary objective, therefore, is
to enlarge the over-all water facilities,
including the provision of a new water
system and filtration plant," the
statement continued. "Intensive studies
undertaken after the severe drought of
1968 highlighted the necessity for such
action."
The statement was referring to an
addition to the dam at University Lake
which was recently completed and to the
construction of an emergency pipeline
from Durham which is presently pumping
two million gallons of water daily into
the local system at a cost of about $6,000
per week.
Activities planned for the 80 alumni
expected to attend the kickoff meeting
include a Friday night dinner party and a
reception on the lawn of the burned-out
Phi Kap house following Saturday's game
between UNC and South Carolina.
The alumni who attend the October 9
weekend are to return to their respective
areas and collect from former Phi Kap
members there. On November 21, the
campaign will draw to a close with 300 to
400 former members attending the
UNC-Duke game.

conduct as the Facu'ty-Adminrstrative-Student
Judicial Board.
The reason the tri-partite board will
not conduct the hearing, said the dean of
men, is because of student legislature's
stand against the administration policy.
Schroeder said this procedure was used
last year for drug cases after student
legislature refused to allow student courts
to hear the cases.
Consolidated University President
William C. Friday had reported Tuesday
that he thought the idea of calling a
meeting of the trustee committee was a
good one. He said then he would talk to
Dees about calling a meeting.
All that remained was for the
chancellor to pass on his endorsement of
the proposal. This was done and
announced by University Vice President
Ferebee Taylor Wednesday.
The proposal was passed on from
Friday to Dees, who seemed agreeable to
the idea.
Bello said he would meet soon with
representatives of the three houses that
have accepted the student legislature
visitation policy which allows 24 hour,
seven day visitation.
The three are Carr dormitory, the
fourth floor of Hinton James dormitory'
and Project Hinton.
Bello said he wanted to meet with the
representatives to draft "a good,
understandable memorandum" for the
trustees' committee.
The advisory Trustee Consultative
Committee is composed of student body
presidents and faculty members from the
six campuses of the consolidated
university and university trustees.
The committee met last spring and
during the summer to make changes in
the University Disruptions Policy.
The dispute concerning the Open
House Agreement began when the three
residence houses passed policies deemed
unacceptable by the administration.
The Student Legislature last week
voted to support self-determination, even
when it conflicts with administration
policy.
