Staff Writer
More than 5,000 students will receive
degrees at the 178th UNC graduation
exercises Sunday, May 14.
Undergraduate graduation will begin
promptly at 2 p.m. in Kenan Stadium and
not at 2:30 p.m. as announced in a recent
letter to seniors.
Graduation activities will begin Sunday
morning with a special ceremony for
ROTC cadets at 9 a.m. At 1 1 a.m.
individual churches in Chapel Hill will
hold baccalaureate programs for the
seniors and their parents. Churches
welcome seniors to attend in their cap
and gown, according to Lee Hood Capps,
senior class president.
From 1 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. a buffet lunch
will be served to seniors and guests in
Chase Cafeteria.
The graduation ceremony will begin at
2 p.m. in Kenan Stadium. In the event of
rain, ceremonies will be held in
Carmichael Auditorium.
Elizabeth D. Koontz, deputy assistant
secretary of the U.S. Department of
Labor, will speak at the commencement
exercise. Koontz is the first black and the
second woman to speak at UNC
commencement.
Formerly a school teacher in Salisbury,
she is now special counselor to the
secretary of labor for woman's programs
and has been described as the "top
woman in the Nixon administration."
Capps said Koontz. had been asked to
prepare a 20-minute speech. Also on the
platform will be Capps, President William
Friday of the Consolidated University
and Chancellor Ferebee Taylor.
Bill Bradford a senior, a football
player and member of Phi Beta
Kappa-will give the invocation. The
benediction will be given by Cecil Miller,
vice president of the senior class.
Capps said this was the first time the
graduation exercise had been held in the
afternoon in recent years. This will allow
people who must come long ways to
attend the ceremonies and return home in
the same day, Capps said.
Immediately following the graduation

exercise, a reception will be held in The
Pit for students, faculty and guests. The
UNC Commencement Band will play for
the reception. Students will pick up their
diplomas in the Student Union after the
formal ceremony.
The law school will hold its ceremony
in Memorial Hall at 4:30 p.m.; the
Pharmacy School at 4:30 p.m. in Hill
Hall; Nursing in Carrington Hall at 4:30
p.m.; the School of Medicine at 7 p.m. in
Memorial; and the School of Dentistry at
7 p.m. in Hill Hall.
Capps said "having the individual
churches to have baccalaureate services
and scheduling the faculty-student-family
reception immediately following
graduation are changes in the
commencement weekend program which
decentralize activity and make it more
personal, meaningful and memorable for
the participants."
Students will return caps and gowns at
the University parking lot after the
ceremonies.
There will not be an academic
procession but the students will usher
themselves in. No seats will be reserved.
More than 1,392 seniors have signed up
for caps and gowns. Even though the caps
and gowns are not required, Capps and
the senior class officers encourage seniors
to wear them. The deadline for renting
caps and gowns from the Student Stores
is 1 p.m. Saturday.
Students who do not attend the
graduation exercise will receive their
diplomas by mail sometime in June,
Capps said.
Capps announced Wednesday that the
Class of 1972 contributions to the annual
Alumni Giving Fund during 1972-73 will
go to the senior class gift, support of the
Molly Ellen Nicholson Scholarship. Gifts
after the spring of 1973 will go to the
general Alumni Giving Fund.

Student Legislature (SL) in its Tuesday
night special session again defeated for
consideration the antiwar bill stating that
SL deplores the recent bombing and
re-escalation of the Vietnam War.
This time the vote was 20 for the bill
and 17 against - still not enough for the
necessary two-thirds approval for
consideration since the antiwar bill did
not pass through committee.
In effect, this means the antiwar bill
was defeated for consideration by
procedure rather than votes, according to
Bill Hill, one of the sponsors of the bill.
The following representatives voted
against the bill: David Boone, Rust,y
Davis, John Morehead, Rob Grady, Chris
Callahan, Douglas Hussey, Dennis Ayers,
Gray Miller, Doug Martin, Hadley
Whittemore, Richard Robertson,
Christina Ewendt, Bob Arrington, Neta
Lucas, Nancy Henderson, Julie Tenney
and Sandra Fowler.
Representative Rick Molen later in the
meeting presented another antiwar bill
for consideration, which was a modified
version of the bill sponsored by Dave
Gephart, Bill Hill and Grover Cable.
Molen's bill stated that SL deplores the
increased violence and killing in Vietnam
and requests that the President "actively
seek peace in Indochina by resumption of
the Paris Talks."
Representative Richard Robertson
objected to consent for consideration.
Then Representative Robert Hackney
moved to suspend the rules so the bill
could be considered and that failed.
Gephart, a sponsor of the original
antiwar bill, told the DTH several recall

Fred Davenport said that as speaker of
SL, he could not comment. Howoer. he
said as vice president, "I am extremely
disappointed. The vote does not represent
the vast majority of opinions of the
student body."
In other action. SL approved three
appointments to the Summer Board -Robert
Wilson. Elliot Stephenson and
Mary Louise Snell.
Gray Miller was elected chairman of
the Ethics Committee to fill in a acancy
in that position.
Randy Wolfe, chairman of Rules
Committee, presented three bills, all of
which passed.
The first bill allows campus radio
station WCAR to retain a portion of its
year-end leftover money, which would go
into the student activities fund, in order
that WCAR will have some ready cash to
use in the fall.

The Faculty Council supported a
proposal that none of the Student Stores

Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor is
expected to act upon the
recommendation soon.
The motion by Professor Wayne

United Press International
Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine was
reported Wednesday to be ready to
withdraw as a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination after
his disastrous defeats in the Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts primaries.
Muskie will hold a news conference
Thursday morning to announce his future
political plans.
Muskie cancelled a campaign trip to
Ohio, scene of another important primary
next Tuesday, and spent the day closeted
at his Washington home with family,
friends and close political supporters.
Although it was reliably reported that
Muskie was seriously considering
dropping out of the race altogether, his
conferences with staff and advisers went
on through the evening, indicating that
efforts still were being made to keep him
in the running.
It was understood that Muskie reached
a decision after reading polls which
showed him running third in Ohio behind
Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and George S.
McGovern. Muskie already had restricted
his further primary activities to Ohio.

Publicly, Muskie's aides would say only

The original committee proposal
concerning the distribution of Student
Stores profits recommended "money
awarded to student athletes from Student
Stores profits should be given only to
those individuals who meet the criteria
for need established for the student body
generally."
The report further stipulated that the
practice of reserving a specific amount
from this source for athletic grants be
discontinued.
The Athletic Committee Report was
presented to the Faculty Council at its
meeting two weeks ago by Frank W.
Klingbert, chairman of the subcommittee.
The report reviews some of the
questions on athletic life raised as a result
of a previous athletic study last fall after
the death of UNC football player Bill
Arnold.
The special report of the Faculty
Athletic Committee was originally
presented to the Faculty Council April 14
by Frank W. Klingbert, chairman of the
subcommittee that prepared the report.
The work of the subcommittee was
begun last fall after an investigation by a
faculty-student committee into the
circumstances surrounding the death of
Bill Arnold, a varsity football player who
collapsed after a practice and later died in

Tuition, fees, room rent
Education expenses increasing
f
by Greg Turosak
Staff Writer
Tuition, fees and room rents are presently moving in
only one direction -up; and in most cases, these cost
increases, which are passed off to the students, are the
result of a general rise in operational costs and prices.
To some students, the result has been and will be
negligible. Others, such as out-of-state seniors, will have
seen a virtual doubling in the total combined cost of
tuition, fees and room rent during their undergraduate
years.
The most important reason, he said, has been
"increased operational costs." Room rents have
remained at their present level for the past three and a
half years, and because of that static level, the
News Analysis
Costs next year will be moving up in all three
categories. Fees will go up $20 per year, out-of-state
tuition will rise by S500, and room rents will be
increased by $9.50 per semester in men's dorms, and by
$19.50 per semester in women's and coed dorms. In
addition, a $2 per person per semester hike will affect
persons in all dorms to finance a special equipment fund.
Only in-state tuition will remain the same for the
third straight year.
Wednesday, Residence Life Director Robert Kepner
outlined two basic reasons for the increase in room rent
rates.
department is expected to be running a deficit of tens of
thousands of dollars this year, he said.
To put it simply, "Costs have risen, revenue has not,"
said Kepner.
The second reason is in order to finance the $25,000
fund for special equipment.
The $20 per year increase in fees will go to the
Student Health Service. Presently, the health service gets
$20 per semester in fees.
According to Dr. James Taylor, director of the health
service, "we've been operating in the red" for the past
year. The increase in fees will "get us back in a fiscally
responsible position," he said. The Student Health
Service is supported entirely by student fees.
Taylor said much of the amount is needed to pay the
rising salaries of employes. At its last session, the
General Assembly granted a 5 percent salary increase to
all state employes for both the 1971-72 and 1972-73
fiscal years. Also medical costs are skyrocketing, he said.
The rest of the new funds will go towards an
"upgrading of services," such as the mental health
service, the sports medicine program and additional staff
members.
Out-of-state tuition, according to an administrative
source, was raised by the state legislature in July 1971
because legislators felt that with increasing costs of
education, they should no longer underwrite the
education of out-of-staters, The source said in-staters
still have their educations underwritten by several
hundred dollars.
Out-of-state tuition has been hiked five years in a row
by a total of $1,150. In-state tuition has gone up once
since 1961, by $50 in 1969.
The source said the state legislature has a choice of
slashing the budget, andor raising tuition. And in recent
years, the legislature has done both.
The $50 tuition deposit for next year is due by May
14. The balance of payment on dorm rooms for fall
semester must be made by June 15.
