Students in the School of Social Work
plan a series of actions to support Dean
C. Wilson Anderson, who was reportedly
notified this summer by Provost J.C.
Morrow that he will not be recommended
to a second five-year term as dean.
Anderson, dean of the department
since 1965, was informed on June 30 by
Morrow that his term, which expires June
30, 1971, will not be extended, according
to Betty Aquila, spokesman for the
students.
Anderson said Thursday he was
notified of the decision of the University
not to renew his term by Morrow, but he
refused to comment further on the
matter.
" Miss Aquila, a graduate student in the
department of social work, said students
in the department plan to circulate a
petition asking for the retention of
Anderson.
The students will also contact social
work departments at other universities
and write to the National Association for
Social Workers to ask their assistance.
The petition says: "We the

Dr. Issac M. Taylor, dean of the
University School of Medicine, is
resigning his post to return to teaching.
Taylor will continue in his present
capacity until June 30, 1971, Chancellor
J. Caryle Sitterson announced.
After a six-month leave of absence, he
plans to return to teaching in the Medical
School's Department of Medicine, a
position he held at the time of his
appointment as dean of the school in
1964.
Chancellor Sitterson said, The
University accepts Dean Taylor's
resignation with regret and with the
deepest appreciation for his contribution
in one of the University's most
demanding administrative responsibilities
"Under his leadership the medical
school has experienced unprecedented
growth and expansion and significant
curricular innovations. The medical
school's teaching, research and patient
care have been of the highest order. We
are pleased that Dr. Taylor will remain on
the University faculty."
Taylor is the seventh dean in the
91 -year history of the medical school
here in Chapel Hill. He succeeded Dr.
Reece Berryhill, who held the position
for 23 years before returning to teaching
and research. T. r

undersigned believe that "he nebulous and
unsettled situation of C. Wilson
Anderson. ..is abhorrent.
"In June the Dean was verbally
informed by Provost Morrow that he
would not be recommended for
reappointment. The Dean was informed
by the Provost that the reason for his lack
of recommendation was the political
embarrassment to the University caused
by the employment of Howard Fuller and
the attempted employment of Howard
Lee, both of whom are black educators
with social work credentials.
"The racial and political implications
of the Dean's not being recommended for
reappointment are blatently opposed to
the principles of a free university.
"This situation may well be opening
the door for similar situations throughout .
the university community, and may also
be indicative of situations that have
already occured and are not at this point
knowledge."
Morrow said Monday that he has not
made a recommendation. "I will send the
Chancellor a recommendation later in the
year," he said.
Morrow would not comment on any
aspects of the recommendation.
"I am making my recommendation to
the Chancellor," said Morrow, "it is to
him that I make my reply, not to anyone
else.
"If he cares to make it public then it is
up to him," Morrow said.
Sitterson said that he has not received
a recommendation and "doesn't expect
to receive one until prior to the spring of
the (Anderson's) fifth year (next
spring)."
The universtiy regularly evaluates the
performance of department heads at the
beginning of their fifth year to determine
if they should be reappointed for a
second five-year term.
A total of 29 faculty members signed a
petition in support of Anderson and
presented it to Sitterson on July 20. The

petition urged the Chancellor to
recommend Anderson for reappointment.
Miss Aquila said five faculty members
in the department conferred with Morrow
on July 7 and were told that "there was a
considerable lack of confidence in
Anderson on the part of the Board of
Trustees and administration, and this
reduced the effectiveness of the dean."
Aquila said Morrow referred to the
appointments of Fuller and Lee.
Fuller, a black nationalist and head of
Malcom X University in Greensboro, was
appointed as lecturer in the department
of Social Work in the spring of 1968, but
resigned after a controversy with the
University and the Board of Trustees.
Mayor Howard Lee of Chapel Hill was
offered a job with the department in fall,
1969 but withdrew his name after
encountering opposition from
administrators and trustees.
Miss Aquila said that Morrow's action
was "professionally, a slap in the face"
for the department.
She said Morrow had "made up his
mind" before consulting any faculty
.members within the department.
"Each faculty member was told in the
individual conference with Morrow that
he (Morrow) would not recommend
Anderson for another term," said Miss
Aquila.
"Some of the faculty members," she
commented, "were told to provide
suggestions for another dean."
The group spokesman said Anderson
has "almost unanimous support" within
the department.
The group is taking action because of
the "ambiguities involved in the process
of reappointing a department," Miss
Aquila said.
"The University is trying to cover it up
and deny anything that has happened,"
she said.
"We are stressing that it could happen
in any department without anyone ever
knowing about it."

The concert featuring the jazz-rock
band "Chicago," scheduled for
Homecoming weekend, sold out Monday
afternoon on the first day of ticket sales.
Negotiations have begun with the
group to present a second show in
Carmichael Auditorium on Sat., Oct. 31,
to accomodate the expected crowd.
Carolina Union President Richie
Leonard said the 7,000 tickets for the
show were sold by 3 p.m. Monday, only
six hours after they had gone on sale.
When all tickets had been sold there
were still some 400 people in a line
winding around the Union Building,
hoping to get tickets.
The unprecedented demand for tickets
has caused concern that scalping, selling
tickets at inflated prices, may occur.
Student Body Attorney General John
McDowell said selling the tickets for the
concert at a profit "would be interpreted
as an Honor Code offense and as such
would be prosecuted by this office."
Archie Copeland, assistant director of
the Union, said late Monday that
negotiations for the second show were
underway. The results of the negotiations
will be announced Thursday, he said.
"The chances of getting a second show

offering them a very good deal on which
we would make very little money.
"I think if we could schedule a second
show, it too would be a sell-out," he
continued, "Besides all the students who
did not get tickets, there would be so
many faculty and staff members, as well
as members of the general public, who
would buy tickets."
The sell-out of the 7,000 tickets is one
of the few in the history of Union
concerts and is by far the quickest such
sale, said Leonard.

Dimension sold out in two days, while

'Too Damn Long
by Lana Starnes

"This line is too damn long!"
At least that's what one student
standina outside of the Carolina Union
said while waiting to get tickets to the
Oct. 31 Chicago concert.
A line encircled the Union for about
six hours Monday and students waited as
long as three hours to purchase tickets.
The line began as a circling, maze-like
column inside the Great Hall. About
noon several lines were combined and
many students became irate when, after
waiting for several hours, they found
themselves again at the end of the line.
The majority of students interviewed
felt the Union handled the situation

the Iron Butterfly performance also had a
sell-out crowd.
The limit of 7,000 tickets which could
be sold for the concert was set because of
fire regulations. The Union is 'only
allowed to sell as many tickets as there
will be seats for the show, according to
Leonard.
McDowell advised any student who
witnesses ticket scalping to talk to the
student who was selling the ticket at
inflated prices. If the student refuses to
cease selling the tickets and to turn
himself in, then the student should talk
to McDowell or to a member of his staff
in Suite B of the Union.

Although several impatient students
dropped out of the line, the bulk of the
crowd remained, vowing to wait all day if
necessary.
Students chatted with one another! as
the line slowly progressed toward the
Union desk. One group of coeds brought
their lunch in anticipation of the long
wait.
The last man in line around noon
seemed concerned 3bout the number of
tickets still available but said he would
remain until the last.
