A questionnaire concerning the
Student Health Services is being prepared
for distribution this month by the
Student Health and Welfare Committee
(SHWC).
The questionnaire will be given in an
effort to discern what student health
needs are, how students utilize the health
services and student sentiments toward
the health service, said SHWC Chairman
Lloyd Comstock.
The information is vital at present,
according to the SHWC, because a new
health services director is being chosen
and because student fees will be raised to
pay for a planned $2,400,000 Infirmary
building.
In general, the questionnaire will show
how students, as paying recipients of the
services, feel their Student Health
Services can better serve them.
One section of the questionnaire deals
with an evaluation of the Student
Infirmary, general !feelings about it, its
staff and its services.
. Another section deals with students'
knowledge of services provided by the
health services, access to the Infirmary
and reaction to new concepts, such as
nurse practioners and mobile units.
Other questions deal . with who the
student consults for help, satisfaction
with the help received, who the student
consults for help with personal problems
and reasons why a student does not make
use of the health services provided.
The SHWC hopes that in collecting
this data they will have a documented
means of letting health officials know
what ... the students, as consumers, need
and desire from a Student Health Services
organization.

The first complaints were made in
December 1969. No reply was received
until August 1970, following an
additional complaint, said Bartsch. The
request for zoning was denied because
Village wives refused to relinquish their
Al and A2 stickers, said Bartsch, and the
reply stated that steps were being taken
to alleviate the parking shortage.
On Oct. 7, 1970, a meeting of the
Traffic and Parking Committee was held
behind closed doors. The committee
recommended to the Chancellor "M"
zoning for the Villages, but the
recommendations were never acted upon.
A subcommittee has conducted two
surveys of the parking shortage and
recommended that no action be taken.

Student Legislature's (SL) Finance
Committee has completed a preliminary
budget appropriating $258,957.44 of a
projected income of $262,000, which SL
will begin to consider Wednesday at 7:30
p.m.
Several organizations protested the
first draft of the budget by refusing to

Mrs. Laura Spinarski, -a street vendor,
filed for the preliminary injunction.
Mrs. Spinarski, who makes leather
goods and sells them on the street,
contends her flower sales license was
issued "with the full knowledge that
plaintiffs would 'display other goods,
wares or commercial goods in the course
of business.' - .
"Therefore, the enforcement of the
ordinance is,- in effect, a cancellation of
their licenses without the due process of
law in that no hearing was held and no
notice given before the action was
taken," she added.
The Chapel5 Hill Board of Aldermen
voted March 21 to begin enforcing the
street vending ordinance March 29. The
ordinance would clear the business
district of all street venders except flower
salesmen.
The ordinance had been largely
ignored since its enactment last June.
Mrs. Spinarski's attorney filed for the
temporary injunction on the Friday after
the action taken by the Aldermen.
James said he filed for a temporary
injunction because a permanent
injunction requires that five days notice
be given to town officials.
The first injunction was an immediate
action, he said. Without the restraining
order, police would have begun enforcing
the ordinance March 29.
Mrs. Spinarski contends the ordinance
violates the First, Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
She said the ordinance is so vague that
literal interpretation would prohibit
"wearing clothes, jewelry, shoes, eye
glasses, and all other items of apparel
with the exception of flowers" on Chapel
Hill public sidewalks.
The Board of Aldermen were slated to
consider the ordinance at their meeting
Monday.

be worth something to UNC students,"
he said.
The budget proposal was three weeks
in preparation. 'There are some very
good things about thi. budget and some
very bad ones," Grady said. "I hope it
won't make it through SL as is."
The Black Student Movement (BSM),
cut from SL's past two budgets, is
included in this year's allocation
proposals for $6,800.
Grady stated the BSM's original
request was for $ 1 7,000.
A $15,000 appropriation was
proposed to hire a lawyer "to counsel SL,
the students of the University, and
anyone so cited by Student Legislature,"
Grady said.
"This can be worthwhile to the
students is we are able to find the right
man," he commented. "However, it isn't
going to be easy to find someone.'
The Tarheel Band, which wasn't in the
last budget, was appropriated $1,200.
The Carolina Choir, which received $500
last year, is in the proposed budget for
$5,510.
Most of the budget. requests were cut
by the committee. Some organizations
were cut out entirely.
The Orientation Commission, which
administers the freshman orientation
program, was cut from the proposed
budget. Last year they received $7,700.
"I believe leaving the Orientation
Commission out of the budget is a step in
the right direciton," Grady said. "We
think the program should be funded by
the administration.
He pointed out orientation "was run
for the benefit of the administration" and
Student Government already supplied
student labor and an office in the ynion
for the Orientation Commission.
The ' International Student Center, in
last year's budget for $14,719 was cut
entirely from the budget.
"The exchange program, which is
admimistered by the Center, is in the
budget for $11,500," Grady said. The
Committee felt the remianing funds
needed by the Center could be raised by
dues or given by administration."
The Senior Class, which requested
$2,000, was also eliminated.
Several organizations were eliminated
because the Finance Committee felt they
duplicated existing organizations.
"We felt the Afro-American Cultural
Committee was much like the BSM which
we funded, and the Association for
Minority and Disadvantaged Students
duplicated Talent Search," Grady said.
He related the total amount
approriated in the proposed budget was
substantially the same as last year's
appropriations because "student
enrollment hasn't gone up significantly in
the past two years."
