Of Supreme Court Justice,
May
by Lou Bonds
Staff Writer
Student Legislature (SL) will meet
tonight to consider the possible
nomination of David Wynne for Student
Supreme Court Justice.
The $25,000 budget reallocation
proposal submitted last week by Student
Body President Tom Bello has not yet
reached Finance Committee and probably
will not be acted on until sometime next
week.
Wynne is the first of three student
Supreme Court justice appointments by
Bello to be sent to legislature for
ratification. Currently only two of five
justice seats are filled.
Student Body Vice President Bill Blue
said Wynne's nomination was scheduled
to be considered by the Ways and Means

Blue indicated the possibility of
opposition to the nomination by some

the Chancellor's Committee on Traffic

He was appointed Attorney General
during the summer session of 1969.

explained.
In addition to issues such as visitation,
self-determination should be extended,
said Lamson, to all areas outside teaching
activities. "Within academics I think there
has to be equal student voice (not
opinion) in curriculum determination,
academic policies, exams, calendar dates,
and drop-add all policies that affect the
academic institution," he continued.
"Many members of the Board of
Trustees are worried that state laws will
be broken, saying, if we give this over to
the students, they will break the law.
"This is a gross generalization. This is
why we have the student court
system...to see that rules and, of course,
state laws are enforced," Lamson said.
Lamson cited two specific steps to be
taken by the six student governments in
working for the blanket policy.

At Friday
A Kent State University student who,
was an eyewitness to the disturbances on
that campus last May will appear at a
fund-raising rally on the UNC campus
Friday.
Jim Freeman will be the main speaker
at the rally, set to begin at noon in the
pit. The purpose of the rally is to raise
money for the defense of 25 persons
indicted by a Portage, Ohio grand jury
last week on riot charges, which resulted
from the disturbances on the Kent, Ohio
campus.
Freeman was "sitting between Alice
Scheur and Jeffrey Miller (two of the
four students shot to death by National
Guardsmen during the May disturbance)
and was an eyewitness to the whole
thing," said the organizers of the UNC
rally.
The rally is being held in conjunction

pending its submittal to Finance
Committee. Finance Committee was not
scheduled to meet as of Wednesday.
'The bill isn't being brought up this
week due to its nature," Blue said. "Most
of the student body does not understand
its implications and we would like to take
time and clear up the confusion."
Blue said during the next week a
door-to-door visit to the dorms will be
made by Bello and him in order to clear
up the doubt that exists in students'
minds.
"We are trying to make the student
fees more than a vehicle of
entertainment," he said. "There are a lot
of real problems on this campus that can
be solved by the students themselves."
He added it is "not pleasant" to
approach administrators in Steele
Building for fees to finance a particular
First, there should be a student
representative on the Board of Trustees
on each campus. This is, in part, to prove
to the trustees that "student stereotypes
they see in the news media are simply not
the average student."
Secondly, student governments must
challenge the local and general
administration on each and every point
on which they have established
regulations in areas other than academics,
Lamson said.
Specific issues related to
self-determination for which student
government at UNC-G is working are, for
one, a complete overhaul of the
curriculum. Lamson said he is workiug
for "individualized education" in which
the student has more of a voice in the
planning of his education.

Rally
em
The student body vice president at
Kent State, Tom Dickerson, sent a
telegram to the leaders of the rally
Wednesday endorsing plans for the event
and asking for support from students
here.
In the telegram, Dickerson said, "As
an act of conscience and a show of
solidarity and support, I, on behalf of
student government, urge you (students
at UNC) to help us by contributing
money to the Kent State University Legal
Defense Fund. We need moral as well as
financial support."
Student Body President Tom Bello has
made plans to attend a rally on the Kent
State campus Friday. He will leave by
plane Thursday night for the rally, which
: is to be attended by student body
! presidents from across the country.
Other speakers on the program for the
rally here include Dr. John Dixon,
i professor of religion and art, Roger
Glenn, a political science instructor and
program when student fees could "easily
, provide the funds."
"Also, we are trying to change student
leader negotiators with the administration
to activists in areas of social and academic
reform," Blue claimed.
In other business, a petition in support
of Dean C. Wilson Anderson of the
School of Social Work is expected to be
introduced at tonight's meeting.
Anderson reportedly was informed this
summer by Provost J.C. Morrow that he
will not be recommended to a second
five-year term as dean.
Students in the School of Social Work
have been circulating a petition in favor
of the dean whose present contract
expires June 30, 1971. The petition has
gathered 375 signatures.
The Ways and Means Committee is
expected to submit appointments to the
Attorney General's staff.

women's closing hours, immediate relief
for the parking situation and a "range of

He said that UNC-G in many cases (i.e.
women's self-limiting hours) lacks policies
already in effect on the Chapel Hill and
Raleigh campuses. One liberal visitation
policy passed last year by student
government was vetoed by the chancellor
on a technicality.
"We're trying to establish a tradition,"
Lamson said, "among student leaders at
least on our campus that they represent
student interests...and forcefully but
non-violently make sure the
administrations, local and consolidated,
are continually aware of the students
needs and demands."
Lamson believes that student
government changed during the past
decade and that UNC-G is a "fine
example" of that change.

StaUins said that because of recent
cutbacks in federal spending, there is
currently a severe shortage of federal aid
to colleges and universities.
"The reduction of funds has resulted
in the crisis we are trying to overcome,
he said.
'There are many people who have the

Cuts
s
Says
Wadde
by Keith Carter
Staff Writer
The Student Government budget cuts
which were made during the summer by
Student Legislature will not be necessary,
according to Student Body Treasurer Guil
Waddell.
"During the summer, no one
anticipated as many people coming here
this fall as they did," Waddell said. 'The
larger-than-estimated number of students
enrolling at the University made the
budget cuts unnecessary.
"We based our initial budget figures on
the . amount of money Student
Government received last year," he said.
"If we had received the same amount of
money as last year, this year's budget
would have been $11,000 to $15,000
short without the cuts."
Waddell has called a meeting of the
treasurers of all organizations falling
under the jurisdiction of the Student
Government budget for Friday afternoon
in room 202 of the Carolina Union.
The meeting is required by Student
Government regulations to explain
procedures of the treasurer's office and
the requisition system, and to hand out
copies of the budget. Any organization
which does not have a representative
the main purpose of the student
government was social and to serve as a
token representative to formal functions
of the University.
"Now student government is more of a
real government. It represents what the
students want and is no longer afraid to
step on a few toes and speak frankly,"
Lamson said.
The problem, said Lamson, is that
"the average administration in its
relations with students and students
leaders bases its relations on the idea that
students will be graduated in a year or so.
So they stall.
"One real fault of student leaders in
general is that they are so busy trying to
get things done they don't h3ve time to
help iri-coming leaders with background
information. Consequently, they have to
go over the same territory, same
discussions, same meetings year after
year," Lamson related.

Nineteen persons have been arrested
thus far of the 25 indicted by the grand

president at Kent State. The grand jury
indicted no National Guardsmen, saying
the shooting which caused the four
deaths resulted from the "threat of life"
to the guardsmen.
present will have their funds
automatically frozen.
"The reason we asked for a budget cut
was because the Student Government
treasury has come up short of funds for
the last two years," he said. "We weren't
too alarmed when the shortage was
$5,000 two years ago, but when we came
up with $12,000 less than we anticipated
last year, we felt like our future budget
should be based on the amount of money
we received in the past, rather than the
enrollment estimates obtained from
Hanes Hall."
Waddell said that the estimate of funds
Student Government will receive this year
will leave a surplus of about $3,000.
'This extra money can be used in case
something comes up which the student
body would like to have, or for special
nrojects," he said.
There was a dispute at the beginning
of this school year over the budget cuts,
made during a special summer session of
SL. Conservative members of legislature
charged Student Government and SL
with conducting an illegal meeting to
make the cuts.
However, SL approved all of the
budget cuts in its first regular fall
meeting, thus supporting the summer
legislative session.
He added, "I would predict the 7-24
policy would come up for discussion
every two years or so unless we can get a
written policy."
On the Greensboro campus, Lamson
said he gets along fine with the chancellor
on a personal basis, however, their
"concepts clash on the concept of
self-determination and equal student
voice."
With his plans, Lamson feels he can
count on the support of the student
legislature. "They want hard, concrete
programs and well-thought-out
rationale."
Lamson is one of 600 male
undergraduates at UNC-G. The total male
enrollment is 1,400. The total enrollment
of the Greensboro university is 7,000.
He said, the legislature is more
representative at Greensboro than at
other schools because there is one
representative for every 50 students.
