A new organization is being planned to
take over the duties of the present
Student Legislature (SL) for all graduate
and professional students on campus.
The Graduate Student Coordinating
Committee (GSCC) met Wednesday, to
work on drafting a constitution for the
new organization.
According to the committee's new
release, GSCC members expect that
"effective September, 1971, all activities
fees collected by the University from
graduate students will be transmitted
directly to the new graduate student
organization rather than through the
undergraduate Student Legislature as is
now the case."
If the constitution is completed by
January, the release further states, "the
undergraduate Student Legislature is
prepared ,to transfer $8,500 from its
treasuryj to the graduate student
organization."
The total amount of money collected
in student fees this year for the Student
Legislature from graduate and
professional students will be
approximately $75,712 ($14.56 per year
per student). The total Student
Legislature budget is $260,000 this year.
In Specaai.
Twenty-two seats in Student
Legislature, eight seats in Women's Honor
Court, nine seats in Men's Honor Court
and freshman, sophomore and junior class
officiers will be elected Nov. 17.
No party endorsements for Student
Legislature or class, officers have
appeared.
To run as an independent for
legislature, a petition with 50 signatures
of qualified students with their class and
address must be submitted to David
Ruffin, chairman of the Elections Board,
by midnight Nov. 10.
To run as an independent for class
officer, a similar petition must be
submitted by Nov. 10. Signatures must be
from members of the candidate's class.
Those interested in running for Honor
Court positions should contact Peter
Calkins of the Honor Systems
Commission. Endorsement by the
commission is needed. N

According to the news release, "The
proposed constitution envisions two
legislative bodies, with the ultimate
authority resting in an assembly
composed of representatives from all
graduate departments, professional
schools and curricula.
"Delegates to this representative
assembly would have voting power in
relation to the number of students they
represented. The representatives would
elect a smaller, executive committee
which would conduct most of the work
of the new graduate organization." .
The executive committee, presided
over by a president selected at large by all
professional and graduate students, would
appoint standing and investigative
committees, as well as graduate
representatives to University-wide
committees. . . . .
Emphasis of the new group is expected
to be on aiding departmental and
professional organizations.
Jerry Harder, temporary GSCC
chairman, Wednesday nigyt urged
representatives of departments and
schools not currently participating in the
writing of the constitution to enter
discussions.
At present, 19 different schools and
departments are represented, including
most of the larger groups on campus. .

allow the Student Legislature to choose

"At some future time, the graduate
students may want support from the
undergraduates, and there is not point in
needlessly alienating them," said an
earlier GSCC news release.
In the long run, Harder said, graduate
and undergraduate students have a great
deal in common, and GSCC would try to
maintain friendly relations with the
Student Legislature.

Friday.
"Such recommendations will be based
on my judgment as to what is best for the
school or department and the University,
and certainly not for 'political reasons," "
Sitterson added.
"I have not made or refrained from
making any recommendation of an
appointment in the University for
'political reasons' and I have no intention
of reaching a decision on such a basis."
Anderson was reportedly informed
orally on June 30 by University Provost
J.C. Morrow that he would not be
recommended to a second five-year term
as dean.
Anderson will allegedly not be rehired
because of the "political embarassment"
caused by his hiring of black activist
Howard Fuller and a controversy caused
over the attempted hiring of Chapel Hill
Mayor Howard Lee.
The reappointment of a dean requires
the recommendation or
non-recommendation of the provost, the
chancellor, the president and the
executive committee of the University
Board of Trustees.
The evaluation process takes place at
the beginning of each dean's fifth year to
determine if they should be reappointed
to a second five-year term.
Morrow mafntains that he has not
made a recommendation to the
chancellor but plans to make one later in
the year.
Anderson says he was informed orally
by Morrow that he will not be
recommended.
Students in the department of Social
Work say political motives were involved
in Morrow's alleged
non-recommendation.
The students presented a resolution
which asks Student Legislature to
deplore the use, .ot purely-, political
considerations by the administration in
this matter to the obvious detriment of

the students in the Social Work
department, said Sitterson met with
students from the department in early
July and told them he ha not made a
recommendation.
Miss Rodelander said Sitterson
reviewed to the group the procedures for
the reappointment or. non-reappointment
of a dean.
According to university officials, the
procedure is as follows:
The provost calls in all faculty
members within the department holding
the rank of assistant professor and above
and evaluates the performance of the
dean in individual conferences.
-The provost then makes a
recommendation to the chancellor who
calls on his faculty advisory committee
(or any other faculty or administrators)
and either approves or disapproves the
provost's recommendation.
The recommendation is passed on to
the president and then to the executive
committee of the Board of Trustees and,
if necessary, to the Board of Trustees.
Miss Rodelander said Morrow met
with faculty members in the Social Work
department in individual conferences
between July 7 and October 13.
"In the individual conferences with
the faculty," said Miss Rodelander, "the
Provost did not ask the faculty to assess
the performance of Anderson, but asked
them to make recommendations for
another dean."
She said most of the faculty members
refused to talk about the selection of a
new dean but, "instead asked for
clarification and reasons behind the
recommendation."
"It is true that Sitterson has not made
a recommendation," Miss Rodelander
commented, "yet it leaves the
department in confusion because
Anderson has been told verbally (of his
non-reappointment) by the Provost, but
. the . recommendation still Jies on his
(Morrow's) desk."
Sitterson said on Oct. 1 9 that he does
not expect to receive Morrow's written
recommendation until next spring.
"Reports continue to appear in the
press that "the administration" does not
intend to recommend the reappointment
of Dean Anderson of the School of Social
Work "for political reasons."
In the first place, I have reached no
decision on this reappointment or indeed
on any of the reappointments of deans
and chairmen (of which several are under
review) now in the fifth year of a 5-year
term. The reason is clear: the process of
review has not been completed in any
instance.
