"I feel students need to question the value of this institution and to provoke discussion on the Yack's worth and in a number of other areas." Plans for the reallocated money include a draft counseling service, scholarships, a Students' Teacher Commission, a Student Rights Handbook, Consumer Protection Service, a black counseling service and other services.

The 7,000 tickets were sold in less than six hours. The unprecedented demand for tickets to the concert provided a large market for the scalping of tickets. n 78 Years Of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, A lot of mud puddles waiting to be stepped in by anyone who had polished his shoes the night before. People standing in the doorways of classroom buildings waiting for the rain to stop so they could get to their next class and then deciding that staying dry was much more important than going across campus to class. And what makes things worse is that Wednesday was just the first in what will be a winter full of rainy days. Chapel Hill wouldn't be Chapel Hill unless at least half the student body had umbrellas stolen from them the first day it rained and the other half of the student body woke up, took one look out the window and turned over to go back to sleep. Sleep, after all, is the only constructive thing one can do when it's raining. ::::::::::: ecologically and architecturally sound." He proposes that man be enclosed in huge "megastructure" cities which would hold as many as a million people and soar a mile into the sky, while taking up only a few square miles of the earth's surface. The showing will include selections of models and drawings that brought record-breaking crowds in Washington, D.C. and New York. Soleri is at UNC as part of an international conference on population and industry being held this week. The program, entitled "Population Priorities To Be A Popular, Highly Experimental Course in Caldwell Hall. They were taken by the hundreds. When the dust of drop-add finally settled, approximately 1100 students were enrolled. The first meeting in Memorial Hall filled almost every seat and windowsill on the main floor. Abnormally large classroom situaions are not unusual for a growing campus, but the distinguishing factor of 95-A is its radical concept of education. In 95-A, the class controls discussion topics and overall direction. There are no instructors, only seminar leaders which break down the large group into workable numbers for rap sessions. There are no tests-emphasis is placed upon topics of interest to the, individual, with seminar discussion and position papers on the subject.

About 45 population scientists are in Chapel Hill for the conference. Soleri, a native of Italy and a student of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, has lived in the desert of Arizona for the past 12 years, designing his verticle cities. The purpose of these cities is to protect the environment. His huge buildings would leave land around free for farming, natural vegetaion and recreation. The technology needed to produce originated, directed and executed by individual students are also encouraged. Final grades are limited to two possibilities: A's or incompletes. Students arc urged to be creative rather than competitive in their work. In a typical class meeting Wednesday, black political science student Alex Willingham introduced race as the day's topic. He gave a short' talk on possible questions for discussion and then turned the floor over to the class. Microphones with long cords were moved up each aisle for speakers. During the course of the class more than twenty students, black and white, argued various points of view: "The white liberal thinks only that blacks want to be while, too.

The largest slice of the money from the Yack cutback is proposed for a Students' Teacher Commission. Shunning the idea of "publish or perish" Bello said good instructors should not be dismissed for net publishing. He said the money could be used for putting on salary professors, assistants or Show The Letters to the editor of the Daily Tar Heel indicate that tickets are being scalped at prices ranging from S10 to S-20. 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." Carolina Union President Richie Leonard said he believes the second concert will be sold out by Wednesday. The sell-out is one of the few in the history of the Union concerts and is the quickest such sale. i i r n i if i i Founded February 23, 1893 for rain to stop. Here these cities has not yet been developed. "Arcology," however, is his idea of what future man may have to live in. His building have brough controversies over their practicality. Architect John LobeU of the Pratt Institute has said Soleri's arcologies "compound every problem we know of." John Lindsey, one of Soleri's former students now studying sculpture at UNC, said, "Most of the inner spaces could be interchanged and individualized. The only thing rigid is the concrete and steel." Lindsey lived with Soleri in the desert for almost nine months. " "Being black does not igve you any special understanding of adversity..." "We find people that are racists who hide behind liberal faces..." "Can the white man help us? Sure-by staying out of our way..." "None of the things that have been good to white people have been good to black people." After the class dismissed, groups of students stood around and continued the . discussion. Organizer McGaughey reinterated the students' importance in the course after class. "It's up to the students to decide what kind ot course they want this to be," he said. "We want to give each student total flexibility. We have faUh in our students' abilities and intellects." graduate students on the mens of teaching ability, with the jpp:oJi of the commission and SL. "1 believe in teaching for teaching's sake." Bello said. "For too kng the emphasis ha been on how much a lacu'iy member publishes, noi on how well he leaches. "By setting up the Students Teacher Commission we are telling the I 'n:ersiiy that we want good teachers, not prolific publishers, and if they feel a good teacher should not stay here because he has not publish; we are willing to pay him ourselves Another $6,000 has been proposed for a scholarship fund. They money would be placed in the Student Aid Office and direclty controlled by the president of the student body or SL. Included in the legislative packet is a S5,000 appropriation for a Black Counseling Service. The funds are to be used for the retention of a black counselor to aid black students on campus in orienting to and working with the University. A Legal Council and Services Fund would be allocated S3,500, double its present budget, ine money would be used for attorney retainer and counseling fees. Other proposals included in the packet are: Draft Counseling Service, S300; Student Rights Handbook, $750; Consumer Protection Service, $200; Health Education Committee donation, $100; Married Students Handbook, $135; Student Government Library, $100 and Leadership Conference, S894.88. "I think that there are broader F icnic am SL by Lou Bonds Staff Writer Student Legislature will consider a bill to unfreeze the Orientation Commission's funds in tonight's session. The bill will be reported out "unfavorably" by the SL Finance Committee, which unanimously voted against its passage Monday afternoon. Another bill expected to be recommitted to Finance Committee, would halt any fund committments to be made by the International Student Center for' next year's foreign exchange program. The Orientation Commission's funds have been frpzen since October 8 when the Finance Committee received late requisitions totalling $914 from the commission to cover financial losses of Sept. 12 and 14 orientation picnics. Finance Committee Chairman Robert Grady said Wednesday he intends to offer Legislature three alternatives which would unfreeze funds. "If the bill is passed, then legislature will assume the debt," Grady said. "My alternatives would give legislators the choice of paying all of it, splitting it with the administration or paying none of it." The commission was appropriated $3,000 for orientation picnic purposes in the 1970-71 Student Government budget. That amount was cut by a special summer session of SL leaving the commission with approximately $2,000 to carry out the picnic programs. Grady contends that the picnics were to be self financed and that the debt incurred is not student government's responsibility. Finance Committee, in reporting the "Most students are socialized into a subservient role with the professor playing god," he continued. "In reality, students are capable of self-education." McGaughey defended the feasibility of a discussion-based class the size of 95-A. "It's the principle of democracy," he . said, "Rational people meeting together to analyze problems and come up with new solutions." "We are stressing creative thinking in this course and we know this will be difficult for students at first because of the demands of our educational system, he added. MdGaughey also mentioned the appearance of last week's guest speaker Rennie Davis, which produced U AT M Of ST- - i Tommy Bello questions involved." Bello commented. The student body president lted the major issues js the t':mervit responsibility to raising scholarship money and why the need isn't better met. the Universitv "s responsibility to hl.uk students and whether the responsibility ends with their admission, the University's rationale for the hume. and firing of professors and the value of teaching, even at the expense of publishing. Bellow said. I feel all these questions are involved in the legislative packet, questions that need to be seriously brought into the open." u sines s bill, condemned the failure of th commission to use a requisition in paying a portion of the debt to Chicken Box in Durham, the firm providing the dinners, and the fact that a self supporting picnic lost almost $ 1 ,000. According to Assistant Dean of Men Richard Stevens, the loss was incurred by inexperienced student waiters serving larger proportions of food than had been intended. The bill affecting the International Student .Center's foreign exchange student program was passed by Finance Committee to allow time for consideration of the entire program, according to Robert Grady. Grady said committee members agreed to recommit the bill and have ISC representatives present their views to the committee. Controversy arose over ISC plans to expand their six exchange student program to include an additional South African exchange. The current program has two exchanges with Germany, two with Columbia and one each with France and Puerto Rico respectively. The program's expenses are currently shared between the administration and the student government. The administration pays for- the foreign students' out-of-state tuition while student government assumes the cost ol fees, room, board and a modest cash allowance. In other legislative business, a bill to appropriate approximately S62 to the Women's Athletic Association (WAA) will be considered. The appropriation would cover the expenses of proposed WAA meetings for discussion of the group's intercollegiate activities. turn-awav crowd at Memorial. "One of the philosophies of this course is the introduction of controversial ideas." he said. "It's a shame the state is noi receptive to controversial people." John Martz, chairman ot the political science department, said there can be "no clear evaluation of the course until the end of the semester." However, he said, "the course so far ha:; shown, in a variety of ways, that students are interested in contemporary affairs and the course has put this m intellectual, or academic, terms." McGaughey urged all members of the class to attend Friday so' a finalized role could be filled out aid a questionnaire presented so that students can give their ideas on future ideas for class discussion.
