He specified four additional fraternities that "did a good job"-Sigma Nu, Delta Upsilon, Zeta Beta Tau and Phi Sigma Kappa. There were several categories under which the fraternities received points. Events taking place during Greek Week April 19-23 were the Ugly Man on Campus contest, won by Bill Correll of Phi Delta Theta; the clean-up taking place at Eastgate Shopping Center; the Greek Week games on April 20; and the Campus 1 79 yeas o Editorial Freedom Chspe! Hill, North Carolina, Saturday, f.!ay 1, 1971 X, 1 To clear up the misunderstandings, Flowers called a meeting of graduate students and professors Monday night. There are the facts of life," Dr. Dearman said. "We have $140,000 in next year's budget for teaching assistants, and their salary is around $3,000 per year." When resources were exceeded by demand, we had to establish priorities for receiving a teaching assistantship," he continued. - The priteria established by the department for receiving a " teaching assistantship were a student's record as a teaching assistant, a report of his major professor and two other professors, his number of years in residence, a general effort on the. part of the department to support as many teaching assistants as possible and the general desirability of each student finishing his degree program as soon as possible. 4A person who takes 10 years to complete his degree is taking up twice as much of the department's time and money as a person who finishes his degree in five years," Dr. Dearman commented. "This is undesirable." The department has established a statute of limitations on degree work of eight years. Dr. Dearman said additional money for teaching assistantships' could come from a National Science FoundationScientific Development Award renewal. "Four years ago the University was given about five-and-one-half million dollars for the development of a center of excellence," he said. 'That grant runs out June 31 of this year but there is a chance it will be renewed." Dr. Dearman stated the causes for the shortage of money for teaching assistantships were twofold. "For the past two years, we have had large graduating classes in the department," he said. "Secondly, there has been a general cutback in federal support for graduate education." "I think the meeting sufficiently cleared up the whole matter," Flowers said. ' 1 (Mini III!

Four fraternities were close contenders for the winning of the chariot race. Zeta Beta Tau finished first, followed by Sigma Nu, Beta and Delta Upsilon. V I awe it M posits Gireelk (Rim' by Woody Doster Staff Writer " A resolution asking the N.C. General Assembly to : allow students to vote in : primary elections was unanimously passed' Thursday night by Student Legislature (SL). In other business, Student Body President Joe Stallings presented the Jim ' Tatum Award for athletic and scholastic excellence to UNC football star Don McCauley. I Next year's primary election falls on : May 2, when students at branches of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Raleigh and Asheville, and Duke University will be taking exams under the revised calendar system. 'North Carolina allows absentee voting in the November general elections if a person is out of his county," said the resolutions' author Gerry Cohen. "We are merely interested in getting this provision extended to the May 2 primary for students and their spouses." "The primary is very important in this state, since North Carolina is basically a one-party state," he continued. The May 2 primary will be for presidential, senatorial, congressional, gubernatorial and N.C. General Assembly candidates. ' Copies of the resolution have been ' sent to N.C. legislators Carl Smith and Ike Andrews from Chapel Hill's district, Congressman Nick Galifianakis, Gov. Robert Scott, and the Democratic National Committee. Cohen added that a copy was sent to Bob Nelson, staff director of the McGOvern Committee, an arm of the Democratic National Committee charged with seeing that all states make their Democratic party open on an equal basis to all people. . "They are very interested in what is --effectively the denial of voting rights to students," Cohen said. . ' 700 airip , United Press International WAS HINGTON-The great bronze doors of the Justice Department slammed shut Friday to keep out 1,000 antiwar protestors, but a department official dismissed their threat to shut down the government next week as "just a lot of hot air." ; Police began making mass arrests a couple of hours after the demonstrators had surrounded the block-square building containing FBI headquarters and blocked several entrances to it. By mid-afternoon, police reported , having arrested "about" 200 persons, most on charges of disorderly conduct. Officials said the normal $10 collateral required for release in such cases was not being accepted and that the protestors were being taken directly to courts for hearings. The action at the Justice Department came at the end of a week of protests which have generated more than 700 arrests at various points in the city. It occurred on the eve of a five-day period in which demonstration leaders have vowed to paralyze the nation's capital by stoppiong traffic and laying siege to key federal buildings, including the Pentagon. Shortly after the demonstration began, Deputy Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst met 10 blocks away on Capitol Hill with a group of Republican senators to brief them on the government's plan for coping with the more militant phase of protests organized by the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice plus an affiliate called the May Day Tribe. .wsur Nash said there was generally a "good turn-out" for the clean-up on April 19, with many fraternities showing a 100 per cent turn-out of their pledge classes. Other considerations for the "best pledge class" were grades (Q.P-A.'s) and activities on campus. The activities were fairly well-divided among the fraternities. First in the category of grades was Delta Tau Delta, followed by Sigma Chi and then Delta Upsilon. The Phi belts and Chi Psis will receive plaques for placing second and third in the Greek Week events. n ...
