residence college. Presently the plans are
to place the office in the basement of
Winston Dorm.
Residents of the dorms will vote next
fall on whether or not they will join the .
Residence College Federation (RCF).
To give new and past residents an
indication of residence college life, the
steering committee has planned a series of
orientation events.
Miss Stevens said there are many
people in the dorms who are already
supporting the plan.
Presently four dorms are independent
and do not have a vote in RCF.
Membership in a residence college would
give them a vote.

Student Legislature (SL) overturned
the decision of its Ways and Means
Committee Thursday night by approving
Student Body President Joe Stallings'
appointment of Stephanie Bolick as
director of internal affairs.
The committee turned Miss Bolick out
unanimously unfavorably, and tabled the
appointments of Cam West and Steve
LaTour for the Summer School
Governing Board (SSGB).
Ways and Means did approve Stallings'
appointments of Cam West as special
presidential assistant, Richard Epps for
the SSGB, Lacy Presnell as chairman of
the State Affairs Committee, and Susan
Case as chairman of the Legislative
Services Commission.
These sppointments, plus Don Dale as
treasurer of the Student Body and Mike
Medford as Student Attorney General,
were all confirmed by SL.
The Director of Internal Affairs is
charged with handling the day-to-day
affairs of Student Government. One of
her duties will be meeting people.
In rejecting Miss Bolick, Committee
Chairman Kathy McGuire said Stallings'
appointee showed "a lack of response or
a willingness to respond."
"We felt that this is very relevant to
her position," continued Miss McGuire.
"One of the things she must do is meet

The social fees from all four dorms
would be combined to enable larger social
events.- In addition, many residents feel
they would benefit from the coed
activities.
Steve Saunders, RCF chairman, said
"RCF is very excited about the progress
towards a new college, but we are leaving
it up to the individual dorms to decide
for themselves." Saunders added he was
pleased with the enthusiasm shown for
the project thus far.
Miss Stevens encouraged anyone who
is interested in working on the
consolidation of the dorms to contact
A.J. Dekeyzer in Alexander.

Special to the DTH
UNC was host yesterday to eight visitors from the Soviet Union. The eight,
members of the Soviet Communist Party and the Young Communist League, were
touring the University as a part of the U.S.5oviet Official exchange program.
UNC faculty members and students lunched with the group at the Carolina Inn and
then strolled along Franklin Street visiting various stores.
Alexander Kapto, the first secretary of:the Ukrainian Young Communist League,
was the leader of the group. The others included students, teachers and one young
lady who explained she was a milkmaid.
The visitors were charmed by the UNO campus and Chapel Hill. Yury Mayorov, a
graduate student, explained: "We expected to see skyscrapers in every city, but this is
quite beautiful and calm."
The group was especially interested in: the books in the Intimate bookshop where
they browsed for a half hour. Requests for books about Soviet writers and Soviet
culture brought a thorough examination dfuthe store's offerings. The only two books
printed in Russian were banned in the Soviet Union. Solzhenitsyn's "The First Circle"
elicited great interest from some of the Russians, but a political essay by Andrei
Almarik was brushed aside as "uninteresting."
The milkmaid Raisa Lukyanova, a member of the Party's Central Committee, was
very interested in children's books but seemed abashed at the covers of the more
popular novels and asked whether they were pornographic.
Willis Brooks of the history department was the host for the University, assisted-by
two State Department interpreters.
The Russian group left for Duke after their stay here. They will visit Denver next,
then Iowa. Chicago, Boston and New York' before leaving for Moscow.

"However, she wasn't very friendly at
all."
In responding to the criticism of Miss
Bolick, Cam West said "she was sent
through Ways and Means mainly as a
courtesy to that committee, she spends
no money, and she will serve as Director
of Internal Affairs whether SL approves
her or not."
SL hit back at the N.C. General
Assembly with three bills expressing
student feeling of recent proposed
legislation introduced into the Assembly.
Student Legislator Tom Allen
introduced a bill condemning the bill of
Sen. Jyles Coggins (D.-Wake County) to

Following the rejection of . Stephanie
Bolick as director of internal affiars,
special Presidential Assistant Cam West
said the committee's action confirmed
students' impressions that "the operation
of Student Government is Mickey
Mouse."
"I can appreciate any philosophical
differences that members of Ways and
Means and the executive office may have
but to become embroiled in such trivial
matters is senseless," he said.
"There seems to be needless game
playing on such issues as apppointments
of students who are obviously qualified
for their positions."
"Both Joe Stallings and I have the
utmost confidence in Stephanie's ability
and her willingness to work for Student
Government," West continued.
"We would hope that Student

the bill reads. The bill passed by consent.
A bill was also passed in support of
The Daily Tar Heel, which came under
the General Assembly's fire for an Insight

SL also passed a resolution asking the
General Assembly to change North
