One gets tired occasionally of peddling around Chapel Hill, so
what does one do. Hitch a ride with a passing motorist, of
course. As someone once said, six wheels are better than two.

A recommendation to abolish the
$45,000 athletic grants-in-aid received
from Student Stores profits and to
reallocate the money to need-based
scholarships was made at the Chancellor's
Advisory Committee on Student Stores
meeting Wednesday.
; The proposal was introduced by Steve
LaTour, student member of the
faculty -ad ministration-student
x)mmittee.
Action on the proposal was delayed
until the committee could confer with
Athletic Director Homer Rice.
LaTour based his recommendation on
two "principles of equity." He said the
athletic program should support itself. He
said Student Stores profits which come
from the general student body should not
go to a particular segment of the student
body.

WASHINGTON-A diehard throng of
up to 1,500 chanting demonstrators,
admitted to the Capitol grounds by
antiwar congressmen, swarmed up to the
locked main entrance of the House of
Representatives Wednesday demanding an
immediate U.S. pullout from Indochina.
While tourists, secretaries and other
congressmen watched under balmy spring
skies, Rep. Ronald V. Dellums, D-Calif .,
engaged in a brief shoving match with a
policeman as officers began arresting the
1,000 protestors jamming the Capitol
steps. - - v . .... t
' The arrests by hundreds of helmeted
policemen followed presentation of a
people's peace treaty to four congressmen
who addressed the cheering, whistling
crowd over a hastily constructed, public
address system. They were Reps. Bella
Abzug, D-N.Y.; Farren J. Mitchell, D-Md.;
Charles B. Rangel, D-N.Y.; and Dellums.
After the speeches, Dellums, a 6-foot-6
former Marine, shouldered his way to the
bottom of the steps to protest the arrests,
and a policeman blocked the way when
Dellums summoned a staff aide.
"Let him alone," said Dellums,
grabbing the policeman's arm. "He's on
my staff."
"I don't care who he is, and you get
your hand off me," the officer snapped,
shoving Dellums' hand away.
Earlier, the demonstrators marched up
Constitution and Independence avenues
on both sides of Capitol Hill from The
Mall facing the west front of the Capitol.
Police stopped one contingent near the
Rayburn House Office Building until
Dellums and Mrs. Abzug walked up and
said they had invited the demonstrators
onto the Capitol grounds.
Police estimated that at its height, the
crowd totaled 1,000 persons on the
Capitol steps and at least 500 others on
the Capitol plaza.
The march on the Capitol was the final
scheduled event of the "spring offensive"
that began 17 days ago with a mall
encampment of Vietnam veterans against
the war. In just the past three days, from
Sunday until Wednesday, there were
1 1 ,500 arrests in Washington as a result
of a massive futile attempt to shut down
all government activities.
The antiwar protests coincided
Wednesday with the first anniversary of
the Kent State University killings, and
there were companion demonstrations
in New York City, Boston, Chicago, San
Francisco and on the Kent State campus
in Ohio and the University of Maryland
campus in suburban College Park.
' - There- -was' peaceful picketing -of
industrial v offices in downtown San
Francisco, and ' between 25 ,000 and
35,000 demonstrators rallied on the
Boston Common to protest U.S.
involvement in Indochina.
Washington authorities processed
several hundred remaining protestors held
in the cavernous Washington Coliseum on
disorderly conduct charges, while rush
hour commuters rode to work without
incident past federal troops, National
Guardsmen and police guarding the
capital's major bridges and thoroughfares.
The defense department said 6,000 of
the 10,000 Army and Marine troops
flown into the Washington area over the
weekend were returning to their home
bases, leaving A combined force of 8,600
men mostly local city policemen still on
duty. . - -
Police Chief Jerry V. Wilson issued a
statement at midday Wednesday claiming
full responsibility for the decision to
order mass arrests and temporarily
suspend normal arrest procedures.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court
.of Appeals Wednesday ruled that 200
prisoners remaining from Monday's 7,000
Jarrests must be released without having to
pay the usual $f0 collateral if they would
agree to be photographed and
and give police required
such as names, ages and
fingerprinted
.information,
addresses.

Student Legislature will consider
tonight a resolution by Rules, Committee
Chairman Gerry Cohen asking North
Carolina to change its residency
requirement to make it easier for students
to vote.
Tonight's meeting, in 101 Greenlaw,
will be the final SL meeting of this year.
"As long as students fulfill the 30-day
residency requirement of the N.C.
Constitution, they should be allowed to
register wherever they want," Cohen said.
At present, voters may register only
where they maintain "a permanent
residence."
"Any student who, in his own
judgment, considers himself to be a
resident of Chapel Hill should be allowed
to register in Chapel Hill just as any other
person," Cohen continued.
Legislature will also consider the
remaining graduate department budgets
tonight.
If these remaining budgets are
approved, 26 out of the 51 graduate
departments on campus will have budget
approval, totalling $8,500, from
Legislature.
"We have accepted all of the graduate
budgets that were submitted to us," said
Finance Committee Chairman Robert
Grady. Thus far Legislature has approved
18 budgets.
Grady added that Legislature, will not
accept any more graduate student
budgets. "We feel that we have given all
departments plenty of time to make their
requests," he said.
Grady believes those departments who
didn't request money "didn't have an
organization within the department who
could request funds."
Also to be reviewed by SL are several
presidential appointments. Donnie Dale,
Stallings' appointee for student body
treasurer, was passed unanimously by
SL's Ways and Means Committee. Mike
Medford, appointee for the student
attorney general's post, passed the
committee unanimously.
The Ways and Means Committee met
late last night to consider more of
Stallings' appointments. If they were
approved, they will be reviewed by the
entire Legislature tonight.
The appointments were: Cam West as
special presidential assistant, Stephanie
Bolick as director of internal affairs, Lacy
Presnell as director of state affairs, Susie
Case as chairman of the legislative services
commission and Cam West, Richard Epps
and Steve Latour for the Summer School
Governing Board.
Appointments for the Audit 1 Board
and the Publications Board will not be
made until next fall.
SL will consider bills to establish a
Student Cultural Groups Committee and
a Student Committee on Curriculum,
Instruction and Degrees.
The appropriation for Student
Environmental Analysis Research at
Chapel Hill (SEARCH) will also be
considered. The group requested $750
to carry out research on opinions of
UNC students on the residence hall
program."

All profits from the Student Stores
and campus snack bars go to scholarship
and athletic grants-in-aid. Of an estimated
$221,000 going to scholarships and grants
from Student Stores profits, about
$45,000 are spent on athletic
grants-in-aid.
"I don't feel Student Stores should
subsidize the athletic program," LaTour
emphasized.
"Since this is a state university, all
efforts should go to making an education
available to all students in the state," he
continued. "State students should not be
turned away for a lack of money.
"An additional burden of working
excessively or obtaining loans may tend
to detract from the ability to perform
well academically on the part of those
that do receive small scholarships," he
added.
"I am not entirely objecting to athletic
grants-in-aid," LaTour said, "but I think
there is enough money going into
grants-in-aid without the addition of
money from Student Stores."
He also pointed out that students are
already supporting the athletic
department by a mandatory athletic fee
as part of general student fees.
"Students should not pay again,
through Student Stores profits," he said.
Gerry Cohen, another student member
of the-committee, commented that the
athletic department has more money this
year than last year. "Need-based
scholarships should take precedence over
getting athletes here or re-turfbig Navy
Field," he said.
"It is clear there is enough money
available for athletic grants-in-aid and not
enough available for undergraduate
need-based scholarships," said LaTour.
James O. Cansler, dean of student
affairs, pointed out, "Other athletic
departments than football would suffer."
He also added, "What about the other
University programs that are subsidized?
We should ask ourselves what kinds of
activities really make for a constructive
University experience."
The decision to delay action on the
recommendation to the Chancellor was
made after Dean Cansler noted that "the
whole picture needs to be taken in to
account. Let's look at the facts."
Tom Shetley, general manager of
Student Stores, told the committee,
"Shoplifters are walking away with a lot
of scholarship money. At least as much
will be stolen this year as we will increase
our scholarships over last year."
He asked the committee to find ways
to make students aware that shoplifters
are being brought before student courts.
"I request somebody to deal more
harshly with people caught stealing," he
said.

per SI 00 property evaluation and appropriate other public
funds for partial support of the bus system.

promised to continue the efforts he has made in the past and
to work closely with the Board of Aldermen to make future
improvements, in Chapel Hill's government. ..-

black in modern times to win re-election as mayor of a
predominantly white Southern town.
Chapel Hill Town Clerk David Roberts said the Board of
Canvas will meet today to certify the vote tally and make it
official.
The turnout of voters Tuesday was much larger than
expected, Roberts said, with 4,688 or about 60 per cent of the
Chapel Hill residents going to the polls to cast ballots.
