Shetley said prices at South Campus snack bars are based on suggested retail prices by the manufacturers. He added, however, that prices at the main store in the Daniels Building were often those of downtown merchants. The question or price disparity arose when members of the Student Protection Service, a service of the executive branch of student government, and the Residence College Federation conducted a survey of South Campus snack bars and several downtown stores. Karl Stauber, presidential advisor in charge of consumer protection, said the survey shows most items are several cents higher at the snack bars over the downtown jmces. "Do Student Stores work with the ex MoMe Posters Destroyed In Morrison by Karen Jurgensen Staff Writer All publicity material which had been posted for Morrison dormitory's "Sex Revolution Month" was destroyed Monday afternoon. According to Morrison President Robert Wilson, Physical Plant employee William Jernigan entered the dormitory Monday and tore down 12 posters in the main lobby and one in each hall lobby. Wilson said he asked Jernigan about the matter and was told by Jernigan: "I've told Mrs. Stevens (house mother) and that little boy (house master Terry Garner) over and over again not to put tape on my walls."

Stauber asked. "Of course we are here to render a service," Shetley said. "Whenever a student makes a purchase, we have done him a service," the manager added. Shetley would neither confirm or deny the prices on the survey, but picked items from the list to show the lower prices at the Daniels Building. While the suggested retail price and the South Campus snack bar price of seven-ounce Tide, for example, is 29 cents, the downtown price is 22 cents. The Student Stores charge only 20 cents, Shetley said. Other examples usually show prices on toilet items to be highest in the snack bars on South Campus. Prices in the main store, however, are often cheaper than those of the downtown merchants. Shetley said that the choice was between not having the items for sale in the snack bars or selling them at the See Snack, Page 2 models and contraceptive devices will be on display from 610 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday in Morrison's small social lounge. A small library of sex education materials will be available at Morrison for the week. The collection is on loan from Dr. Takey Crist, a co-author of the sex education booklet "Elephants and Butterflies." Concerning the posters Wilson said, "The most frustrating thing is that I can't see a man in his capacity just coming in and destroving these things. Obviously he could see how much work had been done." Wilson said that the elastitak required by the university in mounting posters is not strong enough to support large posters and that it is too expensive.

The meeting will be at. 2 p.m. Wednesday, October 14, in the Faculty Lounge of the Morehead Planetarium. The advisory committee is composed of student body presidents and faculty members from the six campuses of the Consolidated University and by members of the Board of Trustees. Also on the committee are the two presidents of the : graduate student bodies at Stato and - UNC. The committee was formed last spring at the request of University President William C. Friday to act as an advisory body to the president. The meeting was requested last week by UNC Student Body President Tom Bello in a letter to Dean of Student Affairs CO. Cathey. Dean Cathey forwarded the request to Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson who gave his endorsement to the meeting last Wednesday. Committee chairman William A. Dees of Goldsboro called Bello late last week to tell him that the meeting was being arranged. The visitation dispute began when Student Legislature refused to abandon its "self-determination" policy in favor of the administration's Open House Agreement. The legislature last spring passed a policy allowing each living unit to determine and administer its own visitation policy according to the unit's individual needs. The administration policy was derived from a policy similar to the legislature's Water Off Hot water will be turned off in Old East, Old West and Carr dormitories today from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Robert Kepner, director of residence life, said workmen from the Utilities Division will be repairing the main hot water line. university rules. I think Mr. Wilson knows what they are, why don't you ask him?" Jernigan also said, "I don't want to be quoted in the Tar Heel, you understand? I do not want my name in the Tar Heel under any circumstances." Wilson said that several weeks ago information concerning visitation which had been posted by the house mother on each floor was also torn down. On several floors where numbers were not marked students posted signs on columns near the elevators giving the floor number. Those are down now too, said WUson. Requests have been made for additional bulletin boards but as yet none have materialized. Wilson said each floor has a bulletin board for house news such as want ads. He said the location is bad and that he doesn't think the residence See Posters, Page 2 f?0 On accor'ding to regulations governing the proceedings. The case could be appealed on the grounds of either a contention of innocence or a contention of an overly harsh penalty. Schroeder said the defendent was informed of his right to appeal. The James resident was judged by a three-man faculty-administration board composed of Assoc. Dean of Student Affairs James O. Cansler, Prof. Robert Byrd of the Law School and Prof. Sam Barnes of the department of English. Fourth floor James is one of the three houses on campus which voted to reject the administration's policy in favor of Student Legislature's self-determination romp Week policy which was recommended to the chancellor by the Committee on University Residential Life (CURL). The CURL proposal was referred to the all faculty-administrative Board of Student Affairs which recommended changes in CURL's policy to the Chancellor. The administration's policy, when announced during the summer, limited the hours allowed for inter-sex visitation and spelled out guidelines for the formulation and enforcement of each unit's visitation regulations. Three residence houses have passed "Visitation w policies -hich v violate- the3 administraiton guidelines.

When Student Legislature renewed their support for self-determined visitation, Dean of Studfnt Affairs CO. Cathey sent Bello a letter expressing "regret" of the action. "By this action, the Legislature has deliberately chosen to pursue a course of aciton directly in opposition to University policy," said Cathey in the letter. "The action of the Student Legislature in this instance cannot be accepted as binding in any way," he continued, "Neither the legislature nor any other branch of Student Government may speak for the entire University community, determine policy unilaterally To Mee V To Perform Here ft ' II Janis Joplin ILZJ ' J Founded February 23, 1893 n o rotiDairnoni The administration Open House Agreement allows visitation Sunday through Thursday from the hours of noon to 1 a.m. and on weekends from noon to 2 a.m. Last spring, SL passed a policy which would give individual residence houses the right to determine their own policies.

In requesting the advisory committee meeting, Bello said, although the committee might not be any more understanding than previous administration channels, "perhaps these individuals, not having the vested interest to administer for administration's sake, will realize the futility" of arbitrary open house restrictions.

HOLLYWOOD-Blues singer Janis Joplin, who belted out her songs in a frenzied, shouting style with her rough voice, is dead at the age of 27 from an overdose of drugs. Her body, clad in a short nightgown, was found wedged between a bed and a nightstand in her apartment Sunday night. The coroner's office said Monday an overdose of drugs was the cause of death and that further tests were underway to determine the specific agent. Miss Joplin was scheduled to appear in concert at the University on Nov. 7. Richie Leonard, president of the Carolina Union, said no plans have been made as yet for a replacement. Police Sgt. Ed Sanchez said the singer had "numerous hypodermic needle marks on her left forearm," some appearing to be from two to 14 days old.. No drugs or associated paraphernalia were found in the room. Miss Joplin, considered by many to be the top female rock singer in the nation, was the object of concern by some writers in the field that she would burn herself out by her all-out delivery. "People like to say I'm raining it," she said last year. "Maybe it's getting rougher, but I still could reach all the notes I ever could. I don't know how long it will last. As long as I do, probably." Miss Joplin had an electrifying appearance on stage, with her long hair shaking, her uninhibited movements and her husky, shouting vocalizing. "She tore the guts out of songs," a critic once said of her singing. When her physician told her she should slow down her frenetic pace, Miss Joplin replied: "Man, I'd rather have 10 years of superhypermost than live to be 70 sitting in some goddamn chair watching TV. Right now is where you are. How can you wait?" Miss Joplin burst on the national rock scene in 1967 when she sang her blues version of Gershwin's "Summertime" and "Ball and Chain" at the Monterey, Calif., pop festival. Her rough, throaty singing and the remarkable intensity of her voice, which would soar into screams and shouts, were displayed in concerts around the country See Joplin, Page 2
