(Editor's note: This article is the fourth
in a series ; restructuring higher
education in Xorth Carolina.)
by MikeParnell
Managing Editor
The battle to restructure higher
education in North Carolina will be over
within two weeks -- one way or the other
- but the struggles of the comb
combatants won't soon be forgotten.
Who are these man and how did they
get involved?
Gov. Bob Scott was and is the
motivator behind the whole issue of
restructuring. It was he who first
proposed publicly (in December, ll70)
the need for a reorganization of higher
education in this state. It was he who
appointed (in January) the Warren
Commission to study the issue.
Why did Bob Scott become o
concerned with higher education hi -i
' - "
A
resolution would not set up a separate
GPSF government. Cohen said, so the
graduate students may introduce their
own resolution to obtain separation.
SL will also consider a bill by Rep.
Charles Gillian to establish the procedure
for impeachment of Student Government
officials.
Gillian presented the impeachment bill
to SL last week, but representatives
requested additional time to read it. The
bill is not controversial and is expected to
pass SL tonight, he said.
In other action. SL will vote on a bill
to allow the student body president to
have a vote in SL in case of tie.

He earned his B.A. in Fnglish literature
at the State University of Montana:
studied at the Royal Academy of Acting.
Theatre Royal. Copenhagen; and,
working under a Rockefeller Fellowship,
received his M.A. in dramatic art at UNC.
Awarded a Fulbright grant in 1958-59,
he taught at the University of
Copenhagen. Royal Academy of Acting
and Askov Folk High School.
Thomas M. Patterson, UNC professor
of dramatic art, said the thing that struck
him most about Jurgensen was "the way
he could make everything so human and
warm.
"I doubt if there is anyone in the
department who has as many friends as
Jurgensen did," he said. "He was a
stimulating lecturer, imaginative in his
work and a fine player himself."
Survivors include his widow, Pacquita;
six children, Mrs. Karen Jurgensen

Gov. Scott quickly b e c a m e

governorship comes the chairmanship of
the UNC Board of Trustees, and. in la

Besides hearing first-hand all of the
problems of the various universities. Gov.
Scott became aware of an unhappiness
among the legislators. Many of the
legislators were appalled at what they had
done to higher education in ll67 and
Wol, when the "regional" universities
were created.
So he began his push for
reorganization and authorized the Warren
Commission to study the issue.

An increase in dormitor' room rents is
mandatory due to increased dormitory
operation costs, according to Robert
Kepner. director of the office of
Residence Life.
Kepner said L'NC dormitories lost
almost S8.800 in the 1970-1971 fiscal
year.
A loss of $96,000 is possible for the
current fiscal year unless rents are
increased and costs lowered, he added.
The financial situation of the
dormitories was revealed
in a study
conducted by Kepner and John Temple,
assistant vice chancellor for business.
Kepner currently has put forward two
proposals for rent rate increases and one
major idea for lowering costs.
The first rent proposal is a multiple
rates system determined by the actual
cost of operating the men's, women's and
coed dorms. The other system proposed
of 29 vacancies to be filled. A change of
polling times from 10 a.m. 7 p.m. to 10
a.m. -5:30 p.m. will be voted on also.
Petitions for vacant seats, signed by at
least 25 persons in on-campus districts
and 10 persons in off-campus districts,
must be submitted to the Elections Board
by midnight Monday.
The following seats are vacant: MD I
Outside Chapel Hill and Canboro, three
vacancies; MD II - Granville, two
vacancies; MD III Canboro, C.H. west
of Columbia Street, four vacancies; MD
IV - Chape! Hill east of Columbia Street,
three vacancies; MD VI- Upper Quad,
one vacancy; MD VIII Teague and

Sen. Burney, Watts Hill
to discuss restructuring
Two major figures in the controversy
of restructuring higher education, state
Senator John J. Burney (D-New Hanover)
and Watts Hill, Jr., a member of the
Warren Commission on Higher Education,
will discuss the restructuring question
here tonight.
The open discussion of "Higher
Education: The Question of
Restructuring" will be held at 7:00 p.m.
in Hill Hall. The discussion is sponsored
by the Inter Fraternity Council (IFC).
Burney is an attorney from
Wilmington in his third term in the
General Assembly. He is a member of the
N. C. Board of Higher Education and
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee.
Hill, former chairman of the N. C.
Board of Higher Education, is a chairman
itie roil
complimented Friday at an AFL-CIO
meeting in September, where he said "the
spirit of compromise has never been
stronger."
Since that time he has met privately
with all persons involved, and though
occasionally he has criticized University
officials, as at the UNC Faculty Club
meeting two weeks ago, the Governor has
been quietly acting out his master plan to
restructure education.
He cashes in his chips next week.
Lindsay Warren, the man who headed
the commission which initially studied
higher education, has not played as major
a role as might be expected. The
proposals to restructure higher education
have been altered so much since May,
when the Warren Commission report was
released, that there is little resemblance
between the two.

by Kepner was one based on eq;

rents for men and omen with

based
on the operation
cost.
Kepner also proposed an Increase of
S2.00 per resident in room rent to fund a
special equipment fund.
"The idea has been that just to keep
the dorms at the present level is enough,"
Kepner explained. 'This is to fund
improvements in the residence colleges on
an ongoing basis."
In addition. Kepner has planned a
decrease in the amount of housekeeping
in the dorms, which would allow a
S12.50 decrease in the room rent per
semester.
The reasons for this decrease in the
housekeeping services are two-fold.
Kepner said.
"First, the students say they can do
the cleaning of their own rooms," he said.
"Second, the students have voiced an
increasing concern about privacy in the
rooms," he added.
Under the proposed housekeeping
system, janitors and maids would not
clean private rooms but would clean all
common areas and halls on a daily basis.
There would be a semi-annual cleaning of
all private rooms on an announced
schedule, Kepner said.
The dorm rent increase due to rising
costs and the decrease due to lower
housekeeping costs will partially offset
each other.

Athlete:
to Arnold death.
by Mark Whicker
Sports Editor
Bill Richardson, chairman of the
Committee of Concerned Athletes, said
Wednesday an investigation of the
Carolina football program "cannot,
practically or morally, be separated from
an investigation into the death of Bill
Arnold."
The statement answered a call by
Student Body President Joe Stallings
Tuesday for a committee to investigate
questions about the football program
which were raised by a Faculty Council
subcommittee which investigated the
Arnold death.
A group of Chapel Hill ministers and
of the board of Home Security Life
Insurance Company in Durham and has
been an influential figure in the
restructuring fight.
The discussion will center around the
issue of restructuring N. C. higher
education. The General Assembly will
meet in special session Tuesday to
consider the issue.
There are currently three plans before
the General Assembly. One calls for
deconsolidation of the Consolidated
University and the creation of a powerful
centeral governing board.
The other two plans call for the
building of a new education organization
upon the foundation of the Consolidated
University, and the strengthening of the
Board of Higher Education and leaving
the Consolidated University intact.
majority report, called for a strong board
of regents plus deconsolidation of the
Consolidated University; it created the
initial stir among University
administrators and trustees. The other
report, the minority report, called for no
deconsolidation of the University and the
strengthening of the state Board of
Higher Education.
The Wan-en Commission helped to
stake out both sides early; the
compromises now have eliminated some
of the ground between the combatants.
Lindsay Warren, in an interview with
The Charlotte Observer earlier this
month, said: "I don't think the legislature
should be involved in the day-to-day
operation of the institutions - period. I
look upon the legislature's role as one of
determining what percentage of the
state's tax dollar whouKI he spent for
higher education.

community workers released a statement
Wednesday commending StaUings for his
call for further investigation of the
football program. The statement said:
"We agree that both the reports of the
Faculty Committee on Athletics and the
Committee of Concerned Athletes raise
questions about athletic policy on this
campus and that these questions need to
be studied by an impartial and
representative group of students jnd

Stallings said there was no great
difference between questions raised by
the faculty group and Richardson's group
of 10 former football players which
called for a reinvestigation of the Arnold
case on October 1 0.
"We do not feel the faculty committee
dispelled rumors at all, but rather served
to reinforce them," said Richardson. "We
cannot accept an investigation which does
not examine the Arnold committee
testimony or drnrs not recall witnesses.
"I do not feel that anything can be
gained by another inquiry into Arnold s
death," the student body president sa;d.
"although I do not obi-.ct to further
investigation."
Richardson called for an immediate
reinvestigation "into the events and
attitudes which resulted in the death of
Bill Arnold. Such a reinvestigation should
be done in the context of the whole
football system," he added.

William C. Friday became president of
the Consolidated University at the age of
36. The quiet, dignified f ndav has been
most effective in his lobbying for the
University.
Friday is also currently holding the
position of president of the Association
of American University Presidents, having
succeeded Harvard's Nathan Pusey in that
post. His reputation as an educator is
excellent, both in state and out.
Reportedly, Gov. Sott wants Friday
as his number one man in any new
education organization, despite the
"acting like kids" charges and other
criticisms w hich Scott has hurled.
Throughout the early part of the
controversy, Friday remained publicly
mute. To the pubUc last spring, he said
