The Di v Tar HH Students' money West wants academic reform Auaust 31. 1971 is Dal es concern by Jessica Hanchar S:sffWnr-.r The in: student 'a by Jessica Hanchar Staff Writer Don Dale, treasurer of the student body, has spent the summer working to raise refrigerator dorm quotas and lower the rental cost of refrigerators. "We made a survey in all the dormitories to see how many refrigerators the wiring can hold," said Dale. "There will probably be a substantial raise in most dorms.' Some dorm quotas were raised last spring and this summer. The refrigerator rental system will be restructured by the treasurer's staff. "We will handle the filing and distribution differently," said Dale. All profits from refrigerator rentals "will be put to a beneficial use for students," according to the treasurer. Dale was appointed by Student Body President Joe Stallings and confirmed by Student Legislature last spring. A senior business administration major from Wilson, he has been a resident of Stacy dorm since he entered and the Residence College Federation before his appointment as treasurer. Other areas of concern by Dale include the graduate student funding question and the student fees funding system. "The Graduate and Professional Student Federation fGPSF) was not recognized by Chancellor Sitterson," he said, "so their money will still be coming from Student Government." "I he graduate student organization was formed last spring as a group independent from Student Government. As it stands now, it is still recognized as a semi-independent branch of Student Government. "No real action was taken over the summer on the student fees problem," said Dale. "The only difference is that now the minimum time to get a Student Government check through is five days." The student fee funding problem became a crisis last spring when some Residence College Federation and Daily Tar Heel requisitions were returned JX - '.if' trcm Rale.

The campus food service is another -rea in which West will be doing research. "Student Government w-H appoint a committee of students :n September to evaluate and offer changes in our campus food program." West said. "This committee wiH serve as a sounding board for student with individual complaints as w ell as suggestions. " West plans to work as a "student "s advocate" m improving the sy stem.

Before that time, Student Government organizations requisitioned checks directly from the Student Activities Office. The system was changed to require checks to be requisitioned from the University Trust Fund Office. "We're following the University's guidelines pretty closely," Dale said. "We hope the system will go back to the way it was, but there has been no indication it will." He said the Student Activities Fund Office audit held this summer "turned out spotless." As treasurer, Dale will handle over $250,000 this year. His duties include writing checks to pay Student Government bills, authorizing someone from each student organization to requisition checks, making recommendations on financial bills to Student Legislature, and advising Joe Stallings on financial matters. He will hold a meeting of all treasurers of Student Government-financed organizations on September 6.

He is chairman of trie State Affairs Committee of Student Government. The committee's main objective, according to Presnell, is to show the positive 3nd constructive aspects of University students and to receive support. One method by which students are represented is a series of speaking tours to groups within the state. "We are continuing the speaking tours and hope to expand the coverage," he said. He plans to expand especially into some of the smaller towns, "where there is a basic need to show the positive side of the University." Presnell will direct his committee into other ways of communication, especially by the media, including local radio and TV shows. "That is a better way to get to the people of the state who we don't reach by speaking to civic and professional groups." he said. "We want to get our points across to all types of people." Presnell's efforts won't stop with the speaking tours, though. He is laying some groundwork for a student forum with students across the state. "We are working to bring leaders from schools across the state together to create a unified voice for the state," he said. "We want to make concrete studies and suggestions of student problems to state leaders and agencies." He emphasized the forum will be a completely independent student board without direct attachments to any particular agency or state office. The forum will be participating in a two-way process, Presnell explained, with the st3te learning of student problems and the committee influencing state programs. He emphasized that the forum is especially important now because 1 S-year-olds have received the vote. "W'e will be working in a non-partisan effort to encourage voter registration," he said. "With the election coming up in 1972, this is the year we will have to .r- - r w w w a r - " -ir - - - - - -r- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5k WELCOME NEW STUDENTS AND RETURNING STUDENTS TO CHAPEL HILL AND THE SHARYN LYNN SHOPPE 1 I Featuring Sizes Petite 3 to 15 88 S V 8 N.
