Advisory Committee member Steve La Tour presented the proposal to shift the funds, saying more needy students are applying for "already inadequate" scholarship funds and the athletic program "could and should support itself."

(Staff Photo by Cliff Kolovson) YAF by Karen Jurgensen Staff Writer David Adcock and the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) have challenged the right of persons planning to attend the Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention in Washington, D.C. to hold organizational meetings on the UNC campus. . ' They have also challenged the right of the Black Panthers to meet on the campus. Adcock, YAF state chairman, said the convention is being planned by the Black Panthers "in conjunctidn with several ' white radical groups." "Several Black Panthers have been responsible for murders and thefts," said Xdcock "If a state-supported school allows them to meet on public property I see no reason to prohibit the Mafia or any other group of criminals to meet also. Ted Outwater, UNC spokesman for the Washington Convention, said the ' 'convention "was first envisioned by the Black Panther party as a way for all onoressed people to express their views and to offer alternatives to the present racist, sexist, exploitative system "All revolutionary groups have been included in the planning and organization of this convention." .

ID checks insure the priority of UNC students in watching films for which they paid. Once students get into the Great Hall there is to be no smoking, drinking or eating, Miss Winter continued. This is because the floor of the Great Hall is of "rather expensive" wood. Since the floor is wooden, smoking presents a fire hazard.

Carlyle Sitterson, who is responsible for making the final decision. Sitterson rejected a similar proposal last year, saying 'The main focus of attention for the Student Stores Advisory Committee is the operation of themselves ratherr than the disposition of the profits." La Tour said he hopes the Advisory Committee will consider making another proposal this year but he wants to "do a little more leg work and get some more Judy Hippler, (r.) greets Canadian , ...... ii t.-iihi ii r i ----- -- "7 Yi A Challenges People's Convention society," said Ben Blakewood, another UNC spokesman for the group. The particular YAF complaint concerns an organizational meeting held Nov. 9. The meeting "wasn't a Black Panther meeting," said John Wheeler, another spokesman for the convention planners. "It was .a meeting of students and interested community people sponsored by a legitimate campus organization." He continued, "We're not contesting their (YAF) right to go. He (Adcock) obviously doesn't understand that it's an open, people's convention...this is indicative of what his organization is all about." The two, Adcock and Wheeler, also disagree about the number of YAF members present at the organizational meeting. v - Of the approximately 80 people present (both agree on this figure), Adcock said a majority, 56, were YAF' people. Wheeler said 1 5 to 20 were YAF people. "The reason we did this," said Adcock, "was to show the campus and the community of North Carolina that these New Left fascists are a small clique whose, powers simply rest in the press and their propensity to violence." "By spending their time attempting to disrupt our meeting," said Wheeler, "the YAFers demonstrate that they are not others, it should be curbed. Also, the committee wishes that students would refrain from noise when there are technical difficulties. The door policy of the movies has been set up to insure that those who have come early to insure a seat for the flick will be favored over those who have come later and who have broken in line, she said. There is need for an orderly line which will enter by the side door beside the stage of the Great Hall. The crowd will exit by doors to the back.

La Tour said recend admission policies to admit "high-risk students from underprivileged backgrounds" have increased a like number. He also noted the amount of money available for need scholarships has not significantly increased in the same period, with the exception of a $20,000 increase this year, , bringing the total money available to $155,000. "The point here," he said, "is that too . many talented North Carolinians are not able to attend this University because of inadequate funds." La Tour points to a Prekminary Report of the North Carolina Study Commission on Student Financial Aid which recommended to the Governor and the 1 969 General Assembly that the state state-supported system of student financial assistance should make aid available only on the basis of need." The average athletic grant in aid in 1968-69 was $1,657, while the average need-based award was slightly less than $500. If an athlete desires financial aid, says La Tour, he should receive it on the same basis of heed as other students. tcWe" don't "; mean " to end " athletic grants-in-aid altogether," said La Tour. "But they should come from money generated by athletic activities." La Tour believes that reallocating the $45,000 "should not harm the athletic program". The average athletic grant-in-aid in 1968 was $1,326. Without the $45,000 the 1969 grants would have been $1,408, $82 above the 1968 figure. He added the addition of an eleventh game to the football schedule should produce an extra $50,000 per year. "A critical point to consider," said La Tour, "is that since the Student Stores, are patronized by the general student body, its profits should not benefit a specialized segment of the body." Assuming that an athlete can meet the entrance requirements, William M. Geer, Director of Student Aid, noted that athletes are admitted to the University "on the basis of athletic skill only." "Granted the reallocation of this $45,000 will not solve all of the problems of financial aid," said La Tour. "But it will be a significant step forward." interested in dealing with" the problems this country faces. "They are merely playing games and harassing those forces which are attempting to find solutions. The absurdity of Adcock's reactionary politics are born out by the fact that two of the three people he nominated as delegates are dead." "At the meeting on Monday night (Nov. 9), YAF comprised a majority of those attending," said Adcock. "The majority of the individuals present decided that there would be formal delegates sent to the convention. "As a result, we elected as delegates Cardinal Mezinsky,- a Catholic prelate imprisoned in Hungary because of so-called anti-state' activities; Yon Mazerik, a Czech student that burned himself alive after the imperialistic invasion of Czechoslovakia by Russian hordes and Kevin Moran, a student in California shot by a New Leftist, Adcock said. The YAF chairman said, "Let the New Left crazies show their true colors by either accepting these delegates or refuting them." "We're not selecting delegates, anyone who wants to go to the convention to express his opinions can go," Wheeler said. closes at II. Tbe free fuck lets out at 1 1 :30. Because the Union is closed, ail movie-goers must exit by the two doors beside the stage. Miss Winter related. Also, no one is allowed on the balcony other than the film committee. This is to insure that the projectors and other expensive sound equipment are not damaged, causing delay in the showing. Miss Winter went on to say she was afraid the costs for special festivals have been misunderstood by many students. The film committee is operating under a limited budget; it covers projection costs, the house staff and the Friday, Saturday and Sunday movies.

Stancell, a former UNC cheerleader, To Influence Legislators rem H by Bob Chapman Staff Writer Student, faculty and alumni members of the University chancellor's 60-member Consultative, Forum agreed Thursday to coordinate their efforts to influence state legislators about campus affairs before the General Assembly meets in mid-January. The forum met for the first time this academic year to discuss the University and its relation to state agencies and the people of North Carolina. There was general agreement that members of the General Assembly should be ' informed abery what is really happening on the UNC campus. W.J. Smith, president of the Alumni - Association, said higher education will come under close scrutiny at the next session of the General Assembly. Butch Rooks, student government presidential assistant for state affairs, reported that students have visited various civic groups around the state to explain student sentiment on the Carolina campus. He added there had been little input from faculty members to the people of the state. The Forum voted to establish a four-member liaison committee to coordinate efforts of the student and alumni groups. The Forum also accepted a proposal to recommend to the chancellor that an information secretary be hired to report on all areas of campus activity.

Carlyle Sitterson reported to the Forum that a $20,000 increase in the scholarship funds from Student Stores profits had been a direct result of the forum's discussion last spring. The stores' profits, Sitterson said, amounted to $155,000 for scholarships, $20,000 for graduate fellowships and $45,000 grants-in-aid (athletic scholarships). Sitterson said he was against the abolition of athletic scholarships since the Athletic Department could not afford to assume the financial responsibility 'and since the program does help some disadvantaged students.

The total, he said, is expected to reach $10,000 before the end of the academic year.

With 75-100 students actively working, the Carolina Opportunity Fund is planning to sponsor two concerts and a roller derby in the spring, Stallings said. The first big project, he said, will be a raffle at the Duke-Carolina football game.
