Only July 12, the N.C. General Assembly enacted Senate bill 793. The bill will affect some 13,000 out-of-state students, costing them better than $16 million in additional charges in the next two years. The money will go into the state's general fund for additional budzet demands durir.g the 1971-73 bier.ruum. The new tew will add $350 to tuition charges this yea: ar.d S500 more the second vear.

"I -a :-uld as--- at The or.lv serious cVection to the bi'.i Committee votes 9-4 enate by Norman Black Staff Writer A bill that would have abolished visitation in the dormitory rooms of state-supported universities was killed in the Senate Committee on Higher Education June 22. The bill was defeated by a fM vote and given an unfavorable recommendation. Since the bill's sponsor, Sen. Jyles Coggins (D-Wake) did not submit a minority report, the bill never reached the Senate floor. Coggins was prompted to submit the legislation because of the "publicity and commotion that has come out in recent weeks from some of these schools." "These students and some outsiders are using college dormitories for living together and sleeping together," he said. Coggins said though some college administrators may not object to it, he believes the general public does. Many of the chancellors of the Consolidated University and senators on the Committee on Higher Education were opposed to the bill, because they felt it was not a matter for the Senate to consider. "The policy that was worked out with the students, administration, faculty and trusties should stand," commented Chancellor John Caldwell of N.C. State. "I here was a tremendous amount of involvement in preparing the present policy. T h is is something that should be left to the Board of Trustees." During the first committee hearing on the bill, University officials from across the state were unanimous in their opposition to the bill. "This question is one of administrative and trustee responsibility," said Bill Dees of Coldsboro, a UNC trustee. Dees felt all students should not be penalized because a few violate the right to visit in dormitory rooms of the opposite sex. During the hearings, Coggins told the committee his intent was not to legislate morals but to see the policies of state institutions conform with the moral standards of society. Dees disagreed with Coggins' stated intent. "Any time you forbid a boy and a a rusiees oita m by Norman Black Staff Writer The Executive Committee of the UNC Board of Trustees ftas passed a motion which would give temporary approval to the present system of allowing the University Trust I'und to handle student fees. The motion was passed, however, with the provision that the new system could be reviewed as to its fairness and effectiveness, and that further action could be taken if necessarv. The controversy surrounding the handling of student fees arose last January. when Consolidated University President Only 6J00 spaces Trrs r UNC students who operate cars will face the perpetual parking problem as they return this year. Alonzo Squires, director of the Traffic Office, said some 6,700 parking spaces must accomodate the University's faculty, staff, and students. Last year more than 14,000 students, faculty and staff members registered cars. Squares said he could not even wager a guess as to the total number of cars on campus for the coming year. 'Td like to encourage everyone to read the traffic regulations," said Squires. "Ed be glad if I could go the whole year without sending a car home or giving a single ticket." Last year Squires sent 135 cars home and restricted about 150 more. Squires also emphasized a request that all students review the citation appeal procedure; Students may appeal any citation they feel was given in error or without just cause within 48 hours after the time of issuance, otherwise the right to appeal is forfeited. Blue tickets must be appealed to the director of the Traffic Office. No fine is mioholds i gir! from visiting a bedroom, that bill has a moral purpose." he said. There were some senators who supported the bill, as did Sen. Joseph J. Harrington HJ-Brtie). "1 think the present p no iwV is a 11 too liberal." Hamngcn s-.i. "I have confidence in young people, but you can have too mu.h freed. mi. I try to be a broad-minded person. But take the AUsbrook bill (D1H funding bill), that boy at ECU went a little too tar. Now it mieht onlv happen once every six months, or once every two years, but one bad apple can poil the barrel. Bids such as this, even if not passed, serve to let the people know sometimes thai they can only go so lar." Coggins also spoke against booklets on t O S..J J 7 ( Consolidated University President William C. Friday meets some of UNC's incoming students at Freshman Camp. Almost 'y present siuaen William C. Friday instructed the chancellors of the Consolidated University to transfer all student fees to the University Trust Fund office. At that time. Chancellor J. Carlvle Sitterson removed the funds from the Student Activities Office. There .cre two reasons for transferring the funds, according to Claiborne Jones. assistant to the Chancellor "Fdrst, the state auditor could not legally audit the student activities funds. and secondly . since w e could not have the funds audited, w e could not assure anyone that we had done what we said we had done with the funds." Jones said. Student Bodv President joe Stalling ico Be given for these citations, but the violation is recorded against the car. Red tickets, which carry a fine, should be appealed to the chief security officer of the campus. One major change in this year's regulations concern student parking lots. Students may now park in any student lot, regardless of their classification, from 3 until 7. For instance a South Campus male, classified 'G" may now park in any "C", "H , or "J" lot atter 3 p.m. After 7, students may park in any lot. faculty, staff, or otherwise. Students are requested to register bicycles with the Traffic Office. This will enable police to locate the owner in case of lo ss or thett ot the bicycle. Squires stressed this point as voluntary, not required. No new parking lots are in the works. according to Squires. He did note. however, that the Union parking lot is being improved. As for the parking situation in general, Squires said some $22,000 has been spent m the past several years on engineering studies on the doriii visitation contraception distributed by colleges, such as UNC's Elephants and Butterflies. "When an 18-year-old child who's never been away from home goes t. school and they give him this book that tells them how to keep from getting pregnant and then invite them to go to their rooms and turn on the music and tudy it what do you think they're going to do1" Study Einstein's Theory1" Once the visitation bill was defeated, however, the Senate they passed a resolution which would have expressed assembly disapproval of student morals at the state's universities. The resolution was not ratified, because the House tabled the bill during the during days of the Assembly. n : - 3 ; tr' " - e ," I ' 1 ' o ' vi i r was not satisfied with the subcommittee report. "My disagreement is that they addressed themselves to the procedural aspects of the system rather than to the basic philosophy dictating who should control student fees." Staliings said. "Their position was that fees had to be in the trust fund for reasons of accountability. 1 still believe the University can account for the fees if necessary when the money is in the Student Activities Office, " he added. "The office has a system of pre-auditing, and those books are open to anyone in the University." Staliings concluded his argument bv i situation. At present, nothmg has been done with these studies. Squires own proposal for solving campus parking problems is the building of a major lot south of the campus near Mason Farm road, with mini-buses running from there to all points on campus. The lot could be fenced and well-lighted, and ' uses to campus would run five minutes apart, driven by students. Squires estimates that by raising tuition S20-S30 per semester, bus fares could be kept down to five cents. This plan has bee i suggested to the Traffic Committee by Squires several times as a cheaper alt' -native to high-rise parking lots on campus. The Traffic Committee has rejected the plan repeatedly. Squires has been director of the Traffic Office since n? creation of the post in September, 1967. and asserts 'there is no question but thai I could be replaced, but there wo; i ! be nobody to replace me who would care for the students more." a Tj-,..
