Of the $303,725 projected profits,
$231,600 will probably go to scholarships
and grants. The remainder of the money
will probably be spent on renovations of
campus snack bars, an access system
inventory control for Student Stores and
for working capital to provide inventories
for the coming year.
Steve LaTour, student member of the
committee, said he would bike to see
"undergraduate need-based scholarships
increased and .athletic grants-in-aid
reduced." - -
The proposed allocations to
scholarships is $10,000 more than this
year's allocation.
, Renovations for the Blue Ram in the
Y-building, Avery snackbar and Hinton
James snackbar consist mostly of
converting to self-service to reduce labor
costs.
"All of this investment would be
recovered in at least one and one-quarter,
as a result of labor cost reduction," said
Shetley. He added that the full-time sales
clerks would probably find employment
in some other University unit.
"Conversion to self-service is great
from the student's point of view,"
commented LaTour.
Labor cost reductions accounted for a
large part of the increased profits from
Student Stores. Shetley explained this
was done through automation and
streamlining sales clerks necessities.
"Student labor has proved largely
uneconomical- and unreliable,
commented Shetley in response to. a.,
question from LaTour about possible
student employment. "It is especially
unreliable in the .springtime," he added.

coming from the parking lot. -
Among the most interested spectators were a handful of
adults. Most of them stood on the outskirts of the crowd.
Their facial expressions ranged from smiles to winces as
Arogance went through their rock performance.
The music could be heard around the shops on Franklin
Street. One elderly woman, addressing her companion, said.
"Can you imagine how loud it is if you're right in front of it!"
; The temperature was in the low 50's. with a chilly wind
making things hard on the shirt-sleeved crowd. Much of the
dancing was actually only people jumping in place in an effort
to keep warm.

I Joe Stallings, president of the student
body, Thursday signed the budget passed
by Student Legislature earlier this week.
? His approval, however, comes "with
reservations." He hopes the new
legislature will revise both the budget and
the rule requiring "an old legislature to
pass a budget for a new administration.
I "I am not at all pleased with the
budget as it stands," Stallings said, "but I
have great faith and confidence in the
iew legislature to responsibly review and
amend the budget."
i
I Under by-laws of the SL, the old
legislature must pass the budget before
new legislators may take office. New
members of the legislature, who were
sworn in Thursday night, will now be able
to review the budget and amend it at any
time.
j "I hope the new legislature will see the
Situation they and I have been placed in
and realize that the new legislature next
spring should consider the budget," he
said. '
I If Stallings had vetoed the budget, the
'.old legislature would have to reconsider
and resubmit a new budget or override1
the veto by a two-thirds vote.
"I was apprehensive that returning the
budget to the old legislature would mean
, that a worse budget would come out,"
Stallings remarked. "We had to fight to
get what we did get."
. Stallings' main objection with the
budget was that none of the programs he
was elected on were approved. "In fact,
the only part of my program put through
finance committee was changed on the
floor."
v His proposal for a full-time Student.
Government lawyer was approved by the
finance committee. The proposal was
changed Tuesday night - by SL to
appropriate $9,000 for a lawyer on
retainer instead of $15,000 for a full-time
lawyer.
"The finance committee's reasoning
for dropping these proposals from the
budget was that these programs were not
well-developed and the expenses not
justified," said Stallings.

The Chaple Hill Board of Aldermen granted permission
Monday to the Peace Coalition to hold the dance in the
parking lot
The Peace Coalition had petitioned the aldermen for
permission to hold the dance from 8 to 11 p.m. on Henderson
Street, between Franklin and Rosemary Streets.
However, the aldermen limited the location for "many
different reasons," said, Andy Little, assistant to Mayor
Howard Lee.
The major objection according to Little was that there is
proposed construction on Henderson Street. For this reason,
the city discourages night-time activity on the street until
construction plans are completed.

president time to consider his proposals.

He termed the rule which requires old
legislators to pass the budget "completely

Physical 'Plant
by Pam Phillips
Staff Writer
John Temple, assistant vice-chancellor
of business, told the members of the
Residence College Federation (RCF)
Wednesday a total investigation of the
Physical Plant would be unfeasible.
Temple said since the Physical Plant
employed 700 people responsible for
seven million feet of floor space, he
doesn't "think two or three people could
come in and spend three .days ap4.4iL
ypu much.'
Estimating that a thorough study
would cost about $25,000, Temple said a
shallow analysis would not yield any
concrete solutions.
Bob Kepner, director of the Office of
Residence Life, suggested that RCF
; should investigate the Office of Residence
Life instead of the Physical Plant. He.
commented that the RCF complaints
about the Physical Plant seemed to stem
rather from communication problems
than from work performance.
He cautioned the group that it was
"possible to wade into this deeper than
one wants to."
Allowing that some of the problems
may belong to his office, Temple
emphasized the restructuring taking place
in the Office of Residence Life.
Previously, many University agencies
were responsible for residence life and
had difficulty defining the scope of their
powers. :
Temple expressed the hope that
problems would be solved in the
residence halls next year. He said the
University "can make changes if they

Blake said the cases "are still under

The Harmony Natural Foods Store in
Carrboro was extensively damaged by a
fire shortly before midnight Tuesday.
Damages to the building and its contents
were estimated in excess of $ 1 4,000.

able to represent the people that elected
them, he continued.
Stallings plans to speak before the new
legislative body next Thursday to present
his priorities. "If they disagree I want
them to come and tell me, he said. "I
am committed to the fact that the two
branches have to cooperate.
Stallings admitted new legislature "is
presented with a very big dilemma. There
will be significant pressure from groups
that will want to keep the money that
was appropriated, he said.
"I hope the new legislature will realize
that whoever is elected president next
year should not have to live under the
situation I have had to, of having an old
legislature vote on a budget for a new
president before he has a chance to set his
plans, Stallings commented.
us szu
(residents) can identify what needs to be
done."
Fielding complaints from RCF
members about discourteous building
inspectors and time-consuming waits for
repairs, Temple said much of the problem
was with students making grievances to
the wrong people.
According to him, breakages should be
reported to resident advisors or directors
who will then report it to the Physical
Plant. "
In reference to the building
had been working on having the
inspectors visit the buildings on an
announced schedule and have a set policy
for entering rooms.
Kepner suggested the responsibility of
a study he designated to the Committee
on University Residence Life (CURL),
student-faculty group to make concrete
suggestions for improvement in Office of
Residence Life communications.
Concerning other Physical Plant
activity, Temple indicated the willingness
of the Physical Plant to discontinue daily
cleaning of students' rooms.
He said few, if any, Physical Plant
employes would lose their jobs if taken
from maintenance work because of the
Physical Plant's high employe turnover
rate. .
However, he stressed the money saved
from this would not cut back appreciably
on students room rent. More likely, the
surplus money would guarantee room
rates would not go up.
The RCF will hold more discussions of
the Physical Plant in the future and will
decide on the methods of approach to a
study.

The band quit playing shortly after 10 in compliance with
