Thursday, August 12, 1971 The Tar Heel 3 Dggg coGogmaOa 0 cDtpooD by Norman Black Staff Writer "Recent developments at the Chapel Hill campus of the University of North Carolina concerning the aspirations of graduate and professional students for a separate and independent student government have made a direct appeal to the Board of Trustees necessary." This is the opening statement in a letter which was recently sent to each member of the Board of Trustees by the Graduate and Professional Strident Federation (GPSF). After learning on July 19 that the administration would not recognize the GPSF as an independent governing body, the Federation has decided on two courses of action. Plans are already under way to hold a student referendum this fall, as well as asking the Board of Trustees to resolve the controversy. Walter Baggett, president of the GPSF, is doubtful that the Board of Trustees will consider the matter before December. "We hope they will consider our position at their August meeting," Baggett said. "But the administration has assured us that since they control the agenda for the Board, the Trustees won't act until December." If the Board of Trustees does not resolve the controversy, the GPSF can gain independence only by successfully calling for and winning a student referendum. There are presently two established procedures for amending the student constitution: calling a referendum by a 23 vote of the Student Legislature, and calling a referendum after receiving a petition signed by 10 per cent of the student body. "Joe Stallings has said that the student body should be consulted before altering the constitution," Baggett said. "The Student Legislature has had the necessary amendments bottled up in their Constitution Committee since REOT-A-CAR SUMMER SPECIAL Rent Any 1971 Ford $30 Per Week Plus Mileage CROWELL-LITTLE MOTOR CO.

If they passed these amendments, then a referendum could be held tu let the students decide. "We have not circulated a petition because we saw no reason for circumventing the Student Legislature," he continued. "But after eighteen months of fruitless attempts to cooperate with the undergraduate-dominated Student Government, we will begin circulating a petition this fall." The GPSF received a letter from Chancellor J. Carlyle Sittcrson on July 19 in which the Chancellor "approved University recognition of the Graduate and Professional Student Federation as an organized semi-independent agency of Student Government, but not as an organization or governing unit separate from and independent of existing Student Government." Student Body President Joe Stallings was in favor of the Chancellor's decision. "Since the graduate students have not Don 'Miss Our Pre-Inventory Bargains in Old Books and Prints made use of the established procedure for obtaining their independence, I feet the Chancellor has made the correct decision," he said. "The role the GPSF should play is that of a semi-independent body as established by Student Legislature last spring," Stallings added. "This would put them in the same category as the Residence College Federation and the Black Student Movement. They would be allocated money by the Legislature, and could advocate plans for the interests of their grads quite effectively." Stallings said he feels there should be only one student government at Chapel Hill.
