The Traffic and Safety Committee
took no official action on the "Heels
Wheels" mass transit proposal presented
by James Bedrick and Steve Coggins at
their Tuesday meeting.
According to the proposal, 20 buses
would be purchased through the North
Crrolina school bus contract to provide
transportation to students living in
Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
The system would be supported by a
S10 increase in student fees. Students
who live on campus or students who live
in areas not covered by the bus routes
could purchase parking stickers. Those
who purchased stickers would be
guaranteed parking spaces on campus.
The price of stickers would be raised to
$22.50 for C stickers and to $25 for G, H
and J stickers.
Faculty members who purchased
stickers would also be guaranteed spaces.
Faculty and staff stickers would cost
$27.50 without a bus pass and $32.50
with a bus pass.

During the first year of the bus system,
faculty members would be discouraged
from riding buses. Most residential areas
where faculty live would not be covered
by the system during the first year.
The system would provide
transportation from North to South
Campus, to Franklin Street, to various
apartment complexes and to shopping
centers.
Bedrick estimated the cost of the
system as $295,500 for the first year of
operation. He predicted a surplus of
$98,000 after the first year.
The surplus would allow for expansion
of the system to include faculty and to
further serve students, Bedrick said.
The "Heels Wheels" plan would
alleviate traffic congestion during its first
year of operation, Bedrick said. The plan
would have the added advantage of
reducing air and noise pollution, he said.
Bedrick said he plans to present his
proposal to the meeting of the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro Joint Commission on
Transportation and to the Faculty
Council.
The Traffic and Safety Committee
postponed action on the plan until they
receive further information.
Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee, a
candidate for Congress from the Second
Congressional District, will speak here
tonight at 8 in Hill Hall.
Lee, who has been doing an extensive
amount of traveling around the
12-county district, will officially open his
campaign on campus with the speech.
L.H. Fountain, the incumbent
congressman, has served 10 consecutive
terms in Congress without serious
challenge. In 1968, a black woman, Eva
Clayton, pulled 35 percent of the vote
against Fountain.
Lee, who has been elected mayor of
Chapel Hill twice, was appointed vice
president of the state Democratic Party in
1971.
Lee has baid his platform will inciuue:
The need for more and better
housing.
- Health care programs and services.
"We have the most advanced medicine in
the world, but the average North
Carolinian can find little cure in a system
that can provide a new heart or kidney
for the few, but cannot provide adequate
health care for the many."
Increased employment. "Lvery
American worker has a right to a job. We
have too many important jobs to do here
in the Second District to have so nuny
Americans unemployed."
- Improved educational opportunities.
"North Carolina ranks 43rd in
expenditures per pupil and 35th in
teachers salaries. More than one-fourth of
our children do not complete high
school."
Lee has also been an outspoken
opponent of the Vietnam War. "As long
as human beings continue to die in a war
that had no honor in its beginnings and
even less honor in its continuance, there
is a need for a change."
There will be a question and answer
session after the speech.
In order to win, Lee will need a large
voter turnout from both blacks and
students in the district. Approximately
35 percent of the people in the district
are black. There are about 25,000 college
students in the district.
The Second District is composed of
Edgecombe, Franklin, Granville, Vance,
Warren, Halifax, Nash, Northampton,
Wilson, Person, Caswell and Orange
counties.
Lee's campaign headquarters is at the
Chapel Hill Holiday Inn.
The speech is being sponsored by
"Students for Howard Lee," a group of
UNC students working to build student
support for the Chapel Hill mayor on
campus.
The group has a headquarters in the
New Foundation building behind the
Carolina Inn.
TODAY: sunny and warm; highs
in the upper 60s, lows in the upper
30s; zero chance of precipitation
today, 20 percent tonight.

Pitt Dickey and Richard Epps
"unofficially" entered into a runoff
campaign for student body president
Tuesday night following one of the
largest turnouts for a campus election in
UNC history.
Official returns were unavailable when
The Daily Tar Heel went to press at 1 :30
a.m. Wednesday morning.
Results could be based only
estimates made while the computer
vallots were being sorted before being fed
into the computer.
At press time the results of the
referendums to reorganize Student
Government and to add an extra SI. 50
on each student's fees every semester to
Finance a portion of the North Carolina
Public Interest Research Group were still
up in the air.
The NC-PIRG referendum, which
needed only a majority of the vote to be
approved, was expected to win
overwhelmingly. The Campus Governing
Council needed a two-thirds vote since
the referendum had not been approved
by Student Legislature, and at press time
the referendum had a 50-50 chance of
passing.
Other projected winners in the races
for campuswide offices were Evans Witt,
an unopposed candidate for editor of The
Daily Tar Heel: Steve Saunders, an
incumbent running for re-election to the
chairmanship of the Residence College
Federation; and Fred Davenport, the
projected victor over Chris Callahan for
student body vice president.
No estimates were made on results of
elections for the head of the Association
of Women Students, the chairman of the
Carolina Athletic Association and seni
class president, though a runoff was
expected in the race for president of the
class of 1973.
Estimates on the number of students
voting ran between 6.000 and 7.000,
making the turnout the largest in recent
years and possibly the biggest turnout
ever, though official records were
unavailable.
Elections Board Chairman Larry Eggert
told The Daily Tar Heel Sunday that
official tabulations would be in by
midnight Tuesday at the latest. However,
due to errors in computer programming,
several attempts at compilation of the
computer ballots showed errors.
The estimates made on campuswide
offices were expected to be correct,
however, due to polls taken prior to the
election and guesses made while the
ballots were being sorted before being fed
into the computer.

RALEIGH - Paul Coder, playing in his
final game in Reynolds Coliseum, scored
his team's final seven points and hit a foul
shot with seven seconds left to give North
Carolina State an 85-84 victory over
second-ranked Carolina Tuesday night.
The Tar Heels, who trailed by I 1 a
halftime, had fashioned an 82-78 lead
with " 1:19 remaining behind Dennis
Wuycik's 21 second-half points. With
1:19 left. State's 7-4 sophomore center.
Tommy Burleson, drew his fifth personal
foul, and Robert McAdoo converted two
free throws to give Carolina a seemingly
secure six-point lead.
But then Coder took charge. After he
scored his first basket with 1:06 left,
Carolina tried desperately to get into its
four-corner offense, but lost the bail with
less than a minute to go.
Coder went inside for two more points
to cut the Tar Heel margin to 84-82, but
when the Wolfpack's Joe Cafferky fouled
George Karl, the ACC's second leading
free-throw shooter, with 20 seconds to
go, Carolina again looked like a sure
thing.
Karl, however, missed the shot, and
when State brought the ball down court,
they went straight to their big man.
Coder scored inside to lie the game and
drew a foul on Karl with seven seconds
left. Tar Heel coach Dean Smith called
Ballots for Student Legislature and
Honor Court were being counted by
hand, and no results could be expected
until early Wednesday morning.

in The Daily Tar Heel Thursday.
Early estimates showed Dickey, a law
student from Fayetteville running far
ahead of the other four candidates after
ballots from boxes in Craige Dormitory
and the Student Union had been sorted.
However, later estimates showed Epps.
a junior from Wilmington and the first
black ever to run for student body
president, gaining quickly.
No estimates were available on which
of the two garnered a plurality of the
vote, though it was virtually certain that
neither had gained the majoritv iiecesar
for victory.

Robert Grady, a first semester senior
from Jacksonville; Bob Slaughter, a junior
from Fuquay-Varma; and Dan Lewis, j
junior from Westport. Connecticut .

Carolina's own second half rally in which
the Tar Heels overcame an 1 1 point half
time deficit to take a 68-67 lead with

score three more times before Wuvcik
scored on a field goal and two foul shots

being behind." a glum Smith said
afterward, "it tenses vou up."

connecting on seven of eight second-half
shots from the floor. McAdoo finished
with 21 while Bill Chamberlain added 14.

the most accurate shooter in Wolfpack
history, hit eight of nine and added three
foul shots to finish with 19 points.
The State Victory, which dropped
Carolina's season record to 20 I, was the
Wolfpack's first regular season victory
over the Heels.
