U.S. District Judge Eugene A. Gordan
of Greensboro handed conservationists a
setback Thursday when he revealed his
denial of an injunction to halt
construction on the massive New Hope
Dam project.
The ruling will be appealed by the
Conservation Council of North Carolina
(CCNC) and its president, James C.
Wallace, a former alderman of Chapel
Hill.
Gordan had refused' a temporary
injunction to halt construction in
February.
The new ruling, filed Wednesday,
reads, "There is no issue of a material fact

(AAUP) annual survey of faculty
compensation.
Five N.C. colleges and universities
were given high ratings in the report,
published in the summer issue of AAUP's
national bulletin.
Davidson College received the highest
rank in the state, followed by UNC at
Asheville. Duke was only a little ahead of
UNC, which was followed by UNC at
Greensboro.
The "association " received mf5rffiatior,
from 1 ,479 colleges and universities. Each
reported the average compensation for its
four major faculty positions: full
professor, associate professor, assistant
professor and instructor.
Ratings ranged from one-plus (top five
per cent) to five (bottom 20 per cent).
UNC received two for full professors
and instructors and one for associates and
assistants.
UNC's average total compensation was
given as $25,200 for full professors,
$18,000 for associate professors, $14,700
for assistant professors and $11,600 for
instructors.
UNC and Duke were highest in the
four classifications on the basis of dollars.
The organization said average increases
in compensation across the United States
were the poorest since 1958.

before the court, and the sole issue is a
question of law, that is, whether or not
the defendants (the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers) have complied with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969."
This law requires an environmental
impact statement be filed before the
beginning of any project that can affect
the environment. The corps has filed such
a statement and a revision of the
statement, but the conservationists hoped
to halt the project by demonstrating
environmental damages and sewage
treatment costs to towns upstream of the
dam, including Durham and Chapel Hill,
which are not mentioned in the
statement.
In addition to the injunction asked for
by the CCNC, both sides have filed for
summary judgments from Gordan on
whether the Corps has filed an adequate
impact statement. Wallace said his group
"anticipates Judge Gordan will find in
favor of the corps."
Wallace said he expected the summary
judgment to be handed down soon and
predicted the case would be decided in
the appeals court in six weeks to two
months.
Once this judgment is handed, he said,
the entire case will immediately be
appealed to the Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals in Richmond.
Talk about a New Hope dam has gone
on for most of this century. After a 1947
flood, the Corps of Engineers was ordered
to study the Cape Fear River basin for
the possibility of a flood control project.
The current New Hope project was
authorized by Congress Dec. 3, 1963, and
construction began Dec. 7, 1970.
The environmental protection law was
passed 1969. The corps originally
contended the law did not apply to this
project but later filed a statement
-voluntarny;'v'"''':i -
Conservationists contend the
statement is inadequate. They say the
water in the lake will be of poor quality
because of pollution in the main feeder
streams, the New Hope and Haw Rivers.

The North Carolina Court of Appeals
Wednesday upheld the right of the
University to impose residency
restrictions on admissions to medical
school.
Two nonresident students, Martin Fox
and Edward Ezrailson, challenged the
University policy of restricting the
percentage of out-of-state students
admitted to the first year of medical
school to 1 5 per cent of the class.
This restriction makes entrance
requirements for nonresidents more
difficult than for state residents.
Fox and Ezrailson challenged the
restriction on the grounds that it violated
their constitutional guarantees of "equal
protection of the laws."

Hobby blasts Nixon

Wilbur Hobby, state president of the
AFL-CIO and unsuccessful candidate for
governor last spring, kicked off the UNC
campaign for presidential candidate
George McGovern with a fiery,
anti-Nixon speech at noon Friday in the
Great Hall. - .
In spite of the discouraging wet
weather, most of the Great Hall was filled
for the rally after folk singer Decatur
Jones entertained under the shelter in

court decision
To qualify as residents of North
Carolina under University rules, a student
must have lived in the state for at least 1 2
months in a nonstudent capacity.
Fox and Ezrailson, originally
out-of-state graduate students in North
Carolina, applied for admission to the
first year of medical school here.
Although they had lived in North
Carolina for several years, neither met the
University's residency requirement.
Their applications were reviewed as
nonresidents.
After appealing to the Board of
Admissions of the medical school, the
chancellor and University President
William C. Friday, they made an

Hancock, Dean listen to Hobby's
Hobby, seemingly on the rebound
from his unsuccessful bid for the
gubernatorial nomination of the
Democratic party, opened his speech
thanking the students who had supported
his candidacy.
Then he said, "Our fight against the
big boys continues, but this time to the
federal level."
.4- Hobby claimed that labor generally
will be for McGovern and is now being
organized for him on congressional
district levels, "in spite of what George
Meany might say."
Hobby then evaluated President
administrative appeal to the Superior
Court of Wake County in Raleigh.
The Superior Court upheld the
University policy about three months
ago, according to the deputy attorney
general's office in Raleigh.
Dean William R. Straughn Jr. of the
Medical School Admissions Office said,
""If the residency requirement were
changed, it would throw a monkey
wrench into everything." He refused to
comment any further on the ruling.
Neither Ezrailson nor Fox could be
reached for comment. If they decide to
appeal the decision, the case would
probably go to the North Carolina
Supreme Court.
Spassky resigns
Fisher
United Press International
REYKJAVIK-Bobby Fischer, whose
bold style and capricious temperament
forced the world to take a new look at
the ancient game of chess, realized his
lifetime goal of becoming the first official
American world chess champion Friday
in an anti-climactic telephoned
resignation from Russia's Boris Spassky in
the 21st game. .
In typical fashion, the new champion
was late for his own coronation.
Spassky called arbiter Lothar Schmid
, to resign less than two hours, before the
scheduled resumption of the 21st game
which was adjourned in Fischer's favor
after 40 moves Thursday. The Russian
grandmaster had spent the night
analyzing the game in futile search of a
way to save a draw and his title.
The title was worth $156,250 in prize
money to Fischer. Spassky's share was to
$93,750.
Still to be resolved, however, was the
$1.75 million breath of contract lawsuit
filed by movie producer Chester Fox
against Fischer, whose protests prevented
cameras from filming the games.

speech
Richard Nixon, saying Nixon is against
labor unions, a decent minimum wage
law, fhe occupational health safety act,
an increase in social security, the day care
center bill and no-fault insurance.
Hobby declared Nixon froze wages but
not prices, let hospital costs soar, stacked
the Supreme Court, allowed bugging of
the Democratic National Committee and
defeated numerous education bills. -
"I shudder to think what will happen
if we do have four more years of Richard
Nixon when he will know that he will not
have to come before the public again for
another election," said Hobby.
"I also shudder to think what will
happen if Spiro Agnew becomes the man
four years from now."
Also speaking at the rally were Charlie
Dean. UNC chairman of the McGovern
campaign, and Lucy Hancock, a senior at
UNC and a delegate to the recent
Democratic National Convention.
Dean said of all the interest groups in
America, the young people have the most
to gain by electing George McGovern. He
then explained one of the facets of the
McGovern campaign on campus, "Buck
Nixon."
Each person who joins the "Buck
Nixon Club' pledges his support for
McGovern and pledges to give $1 a week
to the campaign for the remaining nine
weeks of the campaign.
Dean ended his remarks by repeating
that the campaign needs time and money
from students in order for McGovern to
carry North Carolina Nov. 7.

campaign is sponsoring a rally in front of

Franklin Street from 3 to 5 :30 p.m.

They raced to Fischer's hotel to tell
him he was the new world champion.
Fischer asked for confirmation of his
victory in writing from Spassky.
With the pieces still on the chessboard
from Thursday night, Schmid returned to
his desk and waited. Fischer charged in
16 minutes late.
A crowd of several hundred who had
come thinking they ' would see chess,
burst into wild applause and shouted,
"Bobby, Bobby." .
Fischer, who learned the game at the
age of six and vowed at nine he would be
the world champion, looked shy for the
first time in the marathon duel and
quietly toyed with his fountain pen. .
Schmid moved forward to the edge of
the stage and announced:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Spassky
resigned game 21 by telephone to me at
12:50 p.m. This is a legal way to resign.
Mr. Fischer has won the 21st game and is
winner of the . world championship
match."
The crowd again went wild, standing
in the seats, shouting, cheering, stomping.
Fischer looked out at the crowd, then
down at his feet, walked over to sign his
scoresheet and almost ran out.

Reforms
to f acuity
for study
by Cathey Brackett
Staff Writer
The recommendations of the recently
released academic reform report are now
being transmitted to the various
individuals and groups concerned for
their study and evaluation by UNC
Provost J. Charles Morrow.
"The recommendations will require
careful study by the appropriate bodies;
the year should be a busy one for them,"
Morrow said Friday.
The report, compiled by a University
committee of six students and nine
faculty members, contains what Morrow
termed 39 "substantial"
recommendations.
These recommendations vary in scope,
impact and extent, some being very
limited and concerned with the workings
of single departments and others very
general, affecting, for example, the entire
undergraduate curriculum.
Other recommendations deal with the
institution of a program of regular leaves
of absence for the faculty, the
establishment of an Educational Resource
Center "to provide the entire University
with a research and information facility
for educational matters," and the raising
of grade eligibility requirements for
students from a quality point average of
1.25 to enter the third semester to 1.5,
and from 1.5 to enter the fifth semester
to 2.0.
Because of the wide range and
variability of the proposals, Morrow
indicated it will require differing periods
of time to implement the various
suggestions.
Morrow also emphasized the status of
the proposals as suggestions rather than
mandates. The departmental deans and
their administrative staffs and boards will
evaluate the proposals for their feasibility
and propose changes that will make the
recommendations function more
effectively.
Recommendations of divisional status
will have to be presented to the Faculty
Council for final approval, but those of
non-divisional status such as the proposal
to reorganize the Office of the Dean of
the General College and the College of
Arts and Sciences will not depend upon
the approval of that body.
The report which includes specific
recommendations for changes or further
study, was released to the faculty earlier
this week for their study and
consideration. It is the product of several
months work by a 1 5-member
student-faculty committee originally
appointed by former Chancellor J.
Carlyle Sitterson.
The creation of a committee to study
the 40-course requirement for graduation
was one of the multitude of
recommendations of the Godfrey
Committee report. The academic reform
committee was initiated by that
suggestion but its area of concern was
broadened by Sitterson and by his
successor, Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor
; to in dude such areas as grading and
student evaluation of faculty teaching.

Spassky's resignation gave Fischer a

a maximum of 24 games, a win counted
for one point and each player got a
