Threats- Lieked.
b Tax Collector
United Press International
RALEIGH An FBI handwriting
expert testified in U.S. District Court
Tuesday that a delinquent-tax collector
for Wake County signed letters
threatening to kill top University of
North Carolina officials.
John Robertson of Raleigh is accused
of mailing the letters to Consolidated
University President William Friday and
N.C. State University Chancellor John
Caldwell.
Following testimony from handwriting
expert Thomas A. Delaney, the defense
moved for acquittal, arguing the
government had "introduced no evidence
whatesoever as to mailing" the letters.

Delaney testified he had no
reservations about the comparison of the
signatures on the threatening letters and
the 15 samples of Robertson's signature
obtained by federal attorneys Monday.
He said the signatures are "In my
opinion written by the same man, the
same person."
Friday and Caldwell each received a
threatening letter last May during the
campus tension over the Cambodia
intervention and the Kent State killings.
The letters, which contained the
statements, "I am going to kill you" and
"IH have plenty of chance without police
interference," carried Robertson's return
address on the envelope as well as his
signature.

The case of a student convicted of
violating the administration's visitation
policy and sentenced to definite
probation may be taken to federal court,
said Student Body President Tom Bello
Tuesday.
"Wherever he wants to go," said Bello,
"we'll support him."
However, Bello said he would wait
until the trustees Consultative Committee
discusses the visitation dispute next week.

Lake Level Still Falling

The water level in University Lake is
falling again, but officials still hope they
can avoid the fall drought this year.
The lake, which provides water for
Chapel Hill, Carrboro and the University,
is down to two-thirds its normal water
level and is falling at the rate of .5 per
cent daily.
However, officials are studying other
ways of getting water. University Utilities
Director Grey Culbreth said a decision on
using one of four alternatives to the
present water system will be made
"within the next few weeks."
The first alternative is to develop joint
water resources with Durham. Asst. to
the " Vice Chancellor John Temple"
explained that the $10,330,000 project
would provide the University community
with an "adequate" water supply until
1990.
Another possibility is tapping Cain
Creek, 10 miles west of Chapel Hill. This
would raise University Lake's three
million-gallon maximum daily flow to 13
million gallons per day. The $7,400,000

Dean of Men Fred Schroeder said the

1971, which prevents him from taking

committee to Consolidated University

2005," said Temple.

The third alternative is building
another, higher dam at University Lake.
This would increase the total daily
capacity to 1 0 million gallons at a cost of
$3 million.
Lastly, the University could draw from
the planned New Hope Reservoir. This
federal project is "fairly well along" in
the planning stages, said Temple. It would
provide the University with "almost
unlimited" water for $5,850,000.
There are some problems with the
New Hope project. "The quality of the,
water is questionable," said Culbreth. He
explained that, wage., facilities JnChapel
Hill and Durham plan to dump wastes
into the reservoir. Also, no completion
date has been established for the project.
Temple explained that although a
course of action may be decided on soon,
final approval will not come before June,
1971.
He also speculated that soone the
Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area will
have interconnecting water systems
drawing from the same source.
The daily rate of water consumption
in the University community is 4.7
million gallons per day. Of this, two
million gallons per day is now coming
from Durham at a daily cost of $900.
The Chapel Hill-Durham water line
was reactivated two and a half weeks ago
when the lake's level was down 25.
Culbreth said he foresees no crisis unless
there is no rain for the next five weeks.
Then, he said, University Lake would be
half full.

defiance of the
administration policy which limits hours.
Bello said, "I do believe the University
should be given a chance to handle the
visitation question internally. Therefore,
the Executive Office will not proceed
with any further action until after the
Consultative Committee meets."
If the committee can make no definite
recommendations supporting
self-determination, Bello added, "the
Executive Office will show no hesitancy
in appealing this visitation decision or
other visitation decisions determined by
the administrative courts as far as
necessary."

Earlier this semester, special assistant
to the chancellor Claiborne Jones
estimated University Lake could last until
Thanksgiving without rain. The
supplement from Durham, he said, would
add enough water to that supply to last
until January.
Only one inch of rain has fallen in
Chapel Hill since Sept. 5.

The Student Legislature Rules
Committee will meet today to discuss
proposed changes in legislative by-laws
which would limit the powers of the
speaker of legislature.
Proposed amendments to the by-laws
came following Student Body Vice
President Bill Blue's statement last week
advocating a limitation of his powers as
speaker and separation of vice
presidential and speaker duties.
Susan Case, chairman of the rules
committee, said the proposed changes did
not indicate any major overhaul of SL
by-laws with the exception of speaker
powers.
"All the proposals we have received
are in favor of limiting the speaker's
powers and having more legislature
jurisdiction over their own affairs," Miss
Case said.
The committee meeting is scheduled
for 6 p.m. today in Suite C of the
Student Union. Miss Case said the
meeting is open to anyone who has
suggestions to make or questions to ask.
Legislator Gerry Cohen, author of an
amendment to resolve the dispute, said
his proposal would still allow the speaker
to appoint committees but only with the
consent of the floor leaders.
Cohen said anothe proposal, submitted
by Joe Beard, would have committee
members elected by the body. Other
The student body president said "as
far as necessary" could mean going to
federal court.
Of course, any appeal to the federal
courts is a long and drawn-out process,
and in this particular case, the defendant
must be willing to go through with it."
Bello said.
Bello said all legal actions his office
takes will be coordinated by George
Butler and his Judicial Defense Lcjgue, a
department of student government.
"We have the money," Bello said, "we
are now seeking legal 3dvicc and we know
of previous court decisions that could be
interpreted in our favor."
"The University as an institution of
the state becomes an instrument of
intimidation if the administration seeks
to impose rules of conduct or standards
that are not related to its educational
goal," Butler said.
"The question of self-determination is
related to these limitations on what rules
the University can prescribe for
students," he said.
"The questions of administrative
searches, visitation regulations and
required residency in University housing
strike at the heart of certain rights that
the University cannot violate without
reason," Butler said.

changes would permit SL to set its own
agenda and give more power to the
speaker pro tempore who is elected by
the legislature.
Blue said his statements, made Sept.
30, were intended to initiate a complete
reorganization of the vice president's
powers. The vice president currently
serves as legislative speaker in addition to
his executive duties.
"Ideally, there should be strong floor
leaders in charge of committee
appointments made on a pro-rated basis,"
Blue said. "However, this is probably not
possible anymore due to the fact that
political parties within legislature have
gotten weaker."
Blue added he does not object to the
proposed amendments but hopes
legislature does not act on them in a
"piecemeal, one point at a time" fashion.
ID Pictures
Students whose ID pictures were lost
in the mail should have them re-made this
week in Swain Hall between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m.
Temporary ID cards with an
expiration date of Oct. 2 are the only
ones affected. Students with expiration
dates Oct. 9 or Oct. 31 do not have to
return.
