The de-consolidation of the University
of North Carolina and the strengthening
of the State Board of Higher Education
have been proposed as part of the
restructuring of the state's system of
universities.
The proposal made Saturday by the
Governor's Study Committee on the
organization and Structure ok Higher
Education would replace the present
system with a network of 16 individual
institutions guided by a single
coordinating board.
A central coordinating board of
regents would assume the responsibility
for programs, budgets and allocation of
functions of each of the 16
state-supported universities.
Consolidated University President
William C. Friday said he is opposed to
the proposal based on the press reports he
has seen.
"If the press reports are correct, I
cannot (support) a proposal which would
deconsolidate this university and
effectively discard the unified and highly
successful efforts of the faculties of the
six university campuses," Friday said.
Under the proposal, separate,
individual boards of trustees would be
retained for each of the 1 6 institutions to
govern the internal affairs of each unit.
The proposal was outlined by N.C.
Sen. Lindsay C. Warren Jr., chairman of
the study committee, in a news release
Saturday.
Warren refused to discuss the details of
the proposal but, did confirm that the
new "super-board" would have power
over new programs and function of each
branch of the system and budget
authority.
Warren said the vote of the committee
to make the proposal to the governor was
13 to 8.

Friday." - -- T .. . .
Candidates for the Jefferson, Tanner,
Salgo and Standard Oil teaching awards
were nominated by members of the
University, including students.
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson
presented the certificates to the winners.
Dr. E.M.. Adams, professor in the
philosophy department, won the Thomas
Jefferson Award for exemplifying "the
traditions, contributions - and ideals of
Jefferson" in his educational
accomplishments. Adams has been a
member of the UNC faculty since 1948
and is director of the . Curriculum on
Peace, War and Defense.
Vincent Lolordo, Lara Hoggard, James

and - inspirational teaching of
undergraduate students," expecially at
freshman and sophomore levels.
Lolordo is an assistant professor in the
psychology department. A member of the
faculty since 1966, he teaches general
psychology and learning.
Lara Hoggard is Kenan professor of

1966, is an associate professor in the
English department. He teaches British
made public until it goes to Governor
Bob Scott. The report will also have to be
printed before it can be distributed.
President Friday indicated his
opposition' to the plan, which would
effectively abolish the position of
president of the Consolidated University.
"The Consolidated University of
North Carolina, established through the
imaginative leadership of O. Max Gardner
and effectively administered by Frank
Graham, Billy. Carmichael and Gordon
Gray, under policies established by its
Trustees, had through its distinguished
faculty and staff served the people of
North Carolina faithfully and well," he
said.
Friday denied the charge that the
Consolidated University had been
wasteful and allowed duplication of
educational services. v
"Through wise and efficient use of tax
funds, the university has established an

Jarnagin is an associate professor in
the chemistry department. A member of
the faculty since 1958, he specializes in

assignment of responsibilities among its
campuses and thereby avoided wasteful
duplication. The splendid achievements
of its faculty and staff have brought
national and international distinction to
our state," he added.
Friday said he could not support the
proposal if the press reports were
accurate but that he would not comment
further until he had read the report.
A statewide vote on the proposal to
restructure the higher educational
institutions of the state may be necessary
because of statutory provisions which
require voter approval of deconsolidation.
Governor Bob Scott appointed the
23-member panel in January to study the
state's system of higher education and
make recommendations to eliminate the
duplication waste, and political infighting
in the state system of higher education.
The study committee is composed of
trustees from the Consolidated
University, the nine regional universities,
the School of the Arts and members of
the Board of Higher Education.
Reportedly the committee has been
deeply divided over the proposal to make
to the governor over its three months of
closed door deliberations.
Wheii the majority report of the study
committee is presented to the governor
officially, a minority report calling for
the strengthening of the State Board, of
Higher Education may also be presented,
sources in Raleigh report.
The proposal to be submitted to Scott
is expected to face heavy opposition in
the General Assembly if the Governor
submits the plan for approval. Some type
of action by the legislature will be
necessary on the report, even if only the
calling for a special referendum on the
issue of the deconsolidation of the
university.

ob sunmmeir lawyer
Student Legislature (SL) will meet m
special session tonight at 8 in 101
Greenlaw to consider a bill providing
money for legal counsel this summer.
The bill was introduced in Thursday's
session of SL. Copies of it were not
available 24 hours in advance, and Ways
and Means Committee Chairman Kathy
McGuire objected to consideration calling
for a special session to be held tonight.
'The student lawyer can't work during
the summer because the Legislature must
ratify him and no one has beent
proposed," said Legislator Gerry Cohen.
The Legal Counsel Selection
Committee, charged with selecting the
lawyer, is composed of the student body
president, the student attorney general,
the chairman of SL's Finance and
Judicial committees and the president of
the Student Bar Association.
"Since a name hasn't been submitted
for the lawyer's post, he couldn't be
ratified until next fall, and no legal
counsel would be available this summer,"
Cohen continued.
The bill would provide for legal
counsel from June 1 to August 20. He
would be chosen by a vote of four of the
five members on the selection committee.
Next year's student activities budget
provides $9,000 for a lawyer on retainer.
Bingham
X
by Bill Pope
Special to theDTH
The rooms in Bingham X are old, dark and dingy. Trash and
empty cans litter the floor. A single hall light shines 24 hours a
day beaming a strange glow over the long corridor. -
The rooms of the wooden building across from the Carolina
Union are abandoned now-the structure, along with others
will soon be destroyed. Included in the destruction will be an
odd assortment of beautiful paintings, many of them nudes,
which dot the window panes and ceiling of one of the
cluttered rooms.
Where did the Mosaic-looking paintings come from?

Several years ago, the rooms in Bingham X were converted
to studios for graduate students in the art department. One of
the rooms went to Steve White, a graduate student in art.
"It was really a drab room so I started painting and ended
up painting the whole ceiling and wall," WTiite recently
explained in an interview. "I went so far as to hang a
chandelier in the room along with painting the walls gold, red
and black."
, White worked on the paintings off and on for about 15
months. ' -
The paintings are actually prints from wood carvings which
are called blocked prints, according to White, who specialized
in print making. -

White's art work came to an end in September when the
building was condemned and the art department opened up
new office space at Lenoir Hall.
White took many of the prints with him, including a 9' by
15' wall, made out of sheet rock, which featured several
assorted prints.
Part of the "wall" will be on display at Ackland Art Center
the last week of May in an exhibition by four art graduate
students.
White recreated the once elegant studio on a 3' by 4' oil
canvas. "The studio had a let of influence on me so I recreated
it on canvas as a reminder," he said.
Within a matter of weeks Bingham X, Bingham Y and the
building housing the N.C. Highway Safety Center will be
demolished along with the old Emerson Field. '
- The buildings were moved to campus from Fort Bragg
shortly after World War II to serve as temporary classrooms
due to the great influx of students.
Bingham X and Bingham Y were originally located at the
present site of Greenlaw. While Bingham Y has always been
home of the N.C. Symphony, X has had a variety of uses
including a print shop.
, Dr. Claiborne Jones, assistant to the chancellor, says that
the Emerson Field area eventually may be turned into a mall
connecting the social science building under construction. The
site, however, will serve temporarily as a surface parking lot.
