Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee has
been appointed vice chairman - of the
North Carolina Democratic Party for
minorities, it was announced in Raleigh
Monday.
Lee sees his new position in the
reorganized party as "a channel or link
for communication for blacks to the
higher levels of the party."
Gene Simmons, State Democratic
chairman, concurred with Lee's view of
his position and said:
"I think Mayor Lee can work within
the structure of the Democratic Party and
work with minority groups."
Lee's position resulted from the recent
reorganization of the state's Democratic
machinery, which attempted to improve
the appeal of the party to minority
groups and to young people.
In a prepared statement released with
the announcement, Lee said he was
flattered to have been chosen to fill the
position and that he "hoped to represent
the interest of the black population."
Calling the'reorganization otthe party
a "milestone in Southern politics", Lee
said, "It is on this basis that we should be
able to continue to work to build a
politics of trust and discredit the politics
of fear."
He also said he hoped to help
strengthen the Democratic party and "be
able to prove through action that the
investment in me shall not be lost."
Lee commented that he desired to
help the party to reach at least four goals;
"(1) To build a mass oriented party
built on strong unity of all people;
"(2 To insure that the interests of
blacks and other minorities are
considered in making every decision;
"(3) To work to destroy the politics of
fear and build a democratic politics of
trust;
"(4) To work for sweeping voting in
1972."

candidates, claimed class officers are
obsolete and should be abandoned on the
grounds of their ineffectiveness.
Several freshman class officer
candidates followed suit later and
announced "do-nothing" platforms in
protest of the election.
Student Body Vice President Bill Blue,
speaker of the legislature, lamented the
lack of publicity given to the Student
Legislature races.
"I'm really disappointed," Blue said.
"It could have been an issue-oriented
campaign, but it wasn't."
Blue predicted low turnouts at the
polls as a result of "little publicity about
the campaigns."
He added that certain issues meriting
debate were the $25,000 budget

In a news conference held in Chapel
Hill Monday afternoon, Lee further
commented that the blacks have often
been involved in the party in numbers.
"But too many decisions have been
made in backrooms with the black people
left out." -
He further said that he hoped to
investigate and eliminate such prejudices
wherever he found them. .
Lee's appointment to the position had
been rumored for a number of months.
Reportedly the announcement of the
appointment was withheld until after the
November elections.

Blue claimed the current trend for
candidates is to be independent either
because they are not familiar with
political parties or because the parties
have not been as active this year as in the
past.
In addition, he said upperclass
candidaets were influenced by Bello's
victory in last spring's campaign when he
ran for president on an independent
ticket.
Blue predicted a trend toward more
active political parties by the spring
elections, with many small parties
concerned with major issues cropping up
this year.
Elections Board Chairman Ruffin said
Monday that one of the three candidates
declared ineligible for class officer
elections by virtue of the 2.0 QPA
requirement lodged the complaint on the
grounds that Legislature has no authority
to impose regulations over class officer
elections.
The student's name cannot be
released, he said.
The Supreme Court, according to
Ruffin, refused an injunction order and ,
declared the regulations constitutional.
The following Legislature candidates'
names will appear on the elections ballot
today:

According to CPD, students should

"Do not pay salesman." CPD advises

Staff Writer .
UNC Trustee Victor Bryant spoke to
more than 300 students in contemporary
issues course Political Science 95A
Monday afternoon on the topic "The
Legal and Constitutional Role of the
University." y
He detailed the history of University
management from the 40-member body
of trustees appointed by the state
governor in 1789 through the brief
interim when the University ceased to
function between 187173 and on to the
current operation. Now administration
officials are selected by 100 trustees in
turn appointed by the General Assembly.
The 71 -year-old Durham resident cited
five major responsibilities of the Board of
well received at the Ford Foundation in
New York last when he presented his
requests for grants for the "Mayor's
Blueprint for Progress."
This program is essentially a four-part
program designed to benefit several areas
of the community.
Lee requests that the Ford Foundation
provide special funding to cover the areas
of industrial and economic development;
drug abuse and a total drug program;
police-community relations; and
programs to upgrade the Chapel Hill
Police Department's efficiency and
expertise.
Citizens are to be deeply involved in
the Mayor's plan. Citizen task forces will
determine the specific areas of need
within the community and recommend
action to the Board of Aldermen.
Lee said that he expected some word
from the Foundation by approximately
Dec. 1 concerning which of the programs
they can fund.
The Chapel Hill mayor also applauded
the action of the University's Board of
Trustees in requesting the setting up of a
committee to consider the University's
position with regard to the utilities which
the University now owns.
"This opens the door to something we
have been pushing very hard. It is an
indication that the University is seriously
going to get out of the utilities business."
When asked if the town will have a bus
system operating by , Jan. 1, Lee
commented, "I certainly hope so. I think
there is a very good chance it will be
operating by then."
Lee also supported the moves within
the community to help provide relief for
the victims of the recent typhoon and
cyclone in East Pakistan. He called upon
The community to help relieve the
suffering of those who survived the
catastrophe.

Trustees: (1) to select a University
president, (2) to select and hire faculty
members for course instruction, (3) to
make rules" and regulations for the
operation of the University, (4) to submit
budget allocations for the University to
the General Assembly and (5) to assist
in the long range planning of the
University.
Bryant said administrators and faculty
members selected by the trustees "are the
best men that are available." Rules and
regulations, he continued can not be
"inconsistent with the constitution of
North Carolina or the laws made by the
General Assembly."
- Bryant, a prominent figure in the
Board's 15-member executive committee,
stressed the authority of the State
Legislature in the administration of the
University.
Using the current open housing
question on campus as an example,
Bryant said a relaxation of the
administration guidelines would result in
"Legislature enacting statues much more
unsatisfactory" to the University
community.
"Legislature always has the last word,"
he said. "I cannot support your endeavors
in this matter."
Bryant concluded his address with a
discussion of the campus disruptions
policy, which led to' a question-answer
session from the floor. "I do not intend
to become a party in making insolence
respectable," he said. 'There are peaceful

The executive committee of the Board
of Trustees Friday approved a
recommendation by Chancellor J. Carlyle
Sitterson for the formation of the
commission to determine whether the
utilities should be retained or sold.
The Institute of Government will draw
up legislation providing for the
commission which will be introduced
before the General Assembly when it
convenes in January.
The legislation would preserve the

methods of resolving grievances without
the use of threats and violence."
Discussion of a student-determined
visitation policy centered on the basic
rights of students as free individuals. One
student charged that visitation regulations
were an outgrowth of economic measures
set by the trustees to retain revenue from
campus housing. "We feel responsible for
the young boy or girl who has left home
for the first time," Bryant replied.
"Those who are older may be able to
look after themselves."
On campus disruptions,
commented, "The University
Bryant
has an
educational process, and people ought
not to be hindered." The purpose of the
disruptions policy, Bryant said, is to
protect University property, to insure the
normal functioning of the educational
process, and to assure faculty obligations
in the performance of their duties.
Questioned ' about the fairness in
representation on the Board of Trustees,
Bryant said, "I do not know the basis
upon which they are selected except on
the basis of who will represent best the
people of North Carolina."
Cries of "money" from a few students
on one side of the auditorium greeted this
remark.
Bryant acknowledged the shouts.
"That may have something to do with
it," he said. "If a man takes care of what
he has, he can probably take care of the

"I hope work can be completed by the

legislation so it can be introduced when

Mayor Howard Lee, who has been
against University control of utilties, said
he was "very pleased" with the trustees
action.
'This opens the door to something we
have been pushing very hard," Lee said
Monday. "It is an indication that the
University is seriously going to get out of
the utilities business.
"Now we (the town) can move
forward toward completing the proposal
for acquiring control of the water
system," Lee added.
The University and Carrboro are
currently involved in a dispute over the ,
water rate increase which the University
enacted this summer.
Carrboro has refused to pay the
increased rate and the University has sued
to collect.
