obtained 1.477 signatures on a petition
requesting universal amnesty for all
Vietnam war resisters. a spokesman said
Wednesday.
Most of the signatures were received in
the Chapel Hill and Raleigh areas.
David Harris, husband of Joan Bae

The veterans are hoping to reach a goal
of 10,000 signatures before they deliver
the petition to the White House Dec. 24.
The N.C. Veterans are also
co-sponsoring a voter registration rally,
featuring three rock bands, from 4 to S

The final draft of a policy removing
refrigerator quotas and mot electrical
appliance prohibitions was released
Wednesday by the Office of Residence
Life.
But the policy, effective Dec. 1,
imposes limitations on the number of
watts in use in a dorm room at one time.
"There may be some few minor
modifications," said Robert Kepner.
director of Residence Life. "But the final
policy will be very similar to this draft."
The policy came out of a survey on
electrical conditions last summer and
early this fall.

reviewed the
current state of the students affairs offi.e
and the possibilities for such an office.
"Si.ilc the beginning of my
involvement in Student Government, it
has been evident that many conflicts have
arisen simply because the nature of the
Student Affairs Office is not such that it
serves students." the letter said.
Stalhngs detailed in the letter the lack
of student input and the lads of mutual
re.-pect between students and the student

"I he state t affairs with our
present Office of the Dean of Student
Affairs as it now functions is
unfortunately sad," he said. "That office

Veterans Against the War have made
plans for a nationwide fast in state
capitals on Thanksgiving Day.
Smith said veterans from UNC are
going to Raleigh and anyone interested
should join the group there or contact the
group in its office in Suite C, Student
Union. The group will meet at S p.m.
Thursday to make further plans.
Project Dialogue, an organization of
veterans which met in Durham last
weekend, is trying to bring students and
communities together to talk about
various issues. Smith said. He said the
organization is forming a statew ide tToup
of veteran speakers to talk to civic and
community groups.
Presently, there are anti-war groups in
Chapel Hill. Fayetteville, Winston-Salem,
Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh.
Project Dialogue should be able to get
speakers in these areas, according to
Smith.
"We are try ing to get veterans in the
Chapel Hill group to speak at civic
organizations in their hometowns when
theyi go home for Christmas." Smith
added. "We want to get them into
communities where people have not been
seriously contacted by the anti-war
movement."

"Juries are then selected at random from

The jury selection list for 1972-73 will
be compiled from the names of all
persons registered to vote by today, he
said.
Cohen said nine names for the 1972
grand jury will also be selected from the
registration list as it is complete today.
Names for the grand jury are selected
every six months, and the jurors serve for
one year, he said.
Jim Van Hecke, a UNC law student
and an organizer for the rally, said it is
important that students brought to ria 1
face a representative jury.
The rally will feature three rock bands
Jerboa, Sweet Rye and Flat rock.
Sponsors of the rally will provide free
soft drinks.
Becky Hannah, one of the rally's
organizers and a member of Campaign for
Young Voters, said the dormitory,

students registering to vote today will win

The rally is sponsored by the statewide
Campaign for Young Voters, the UNC
Student Government Association, the
N.C. Veterans for Peace and the Carolina
Union Current Affairs Committee.
N.C. Veterans for Peace are sponsoring
the rock bands. Chris Miller, a veteran
from Winston-Salem, is coordinating the

across the state.

when it will be included in Category A.
Old Last and Old West were rewired
on an emergency basis at the beginning of
this semester.
All dorms in category B will be
rewired next summer, Kepner said. He
said all dorms should operate under the
policy for Category A buildings next fall.
The basic restriction for category A
dorms is a total of 1.S00 watts in use per
individual room at one time. No single
appliance may exceed 1.000 watts.

Stalhngs said he does not expect the
student affairs office to acquiesce to
every student request.
"What 1 am requesting is that the
office could serve as a liasion, recognizing
that student ideas deserve careful careful
consideration and complete articulation."
he said.
Stalhngs cited the operation of the
dean of student affairs office at UNC-G as
an example of this advocacy of student
ideas to other officials.
S tailings called for the establishment
of mutual respect between students and
the office.
At the end of his letter, Stalhngs asked
Sitterson to provide the impetus for
changing the student affairs office
structure.
"1 realize that you are coming to the
end of your tenure as chancellor at
Chapel Hill, but I request that as one of
your last acts in your present capacity
that you provide the leadership necesarry
to revitalize the Office of the Dean of
Student Affairs." he said.
In the letter, Stalhngs also praised the
work of the Committee on Student
Involvement, headed by Dr. Gordon P.
Cleveland.
The Cleveland Committee's
recommendation that an administrative
board be established over a part of the
office "should not po unheeded," the

"This limitation was imposed purely
for safety reasons." Kepner said. The
policy states, "The 1.800-watt maximum
with the 1.000-watt restriction is
stipulated by the engineering firm as the
maximum safety limit for any given
room."
The 1.000-watt maximum still restricts
the use of most large hotplates, broilers,
toasters and fry pans.
Category B dorms are limited to 600
watts in use at one time. This limitation
still restricts the use of hotplates, broilers,
popcorn poppers and heaters.
Refrigerators must be restricted to a
