Mm fTX u Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Thursday, November 30. 1972 Founded February 23. 1893 Vol. 81, No. 70 for oeeia by William March Staff Writer A bill has been drafted for presentation to the Student Legislature calling for the hiring of a full-time Student Government attorney, according to student body president Richard Lpps. Vice-president and SL speaker Fred Davenport has called a special session of the Legislature for Tuesday from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in order to consider and possibly vote on the bill. "The bill will go to the Finance Committee Monday and the special session Tuesday," Davenport said. "This will be a very important session, and it is urgent that the legislators come. This bill is closely linked to the legal information service for students which this administration proposed as a campaign promise. "We need to have a member of the Students, d ISCUSS by David Klinger Staff Writer Discussion of the teaching and research responsibilities of faculty members at UNC sparked heated dialogue between four professors and about 20 interested students Tuesday night. The event was the first open hearing of the Student Self-Study Committee. As a branch of the University Self-Study Committee, the purpose of the student organization, according to committee member Ford Runge, is "to present to the Chancellor a view of education from the student's point of view." Tuesday's meeting brought together Professors William Harmon and C. Hugh Holman of the English department, Paul Ziff of the philosophy department and Charles Omelia of the environmental sciences division of the School of Public Health in an attempt to define what the primary purpose of a University educator should be and whether a suitable balance between the areas of teaching and research can be found by faculty members. Concerning a question submitted by moderator Runge, all four professors agreed than an educator should be both a creator and a dispensor of knowledge. "I don't think you can separate the two," Omelia said.

The Rules Committee of the SL, scheduled to meet this week to work on plans for redisricting the UNC campus for election of the new Campus Governing Council, could not find a quorum for a meeting. Rep. Jim Becker, and other members of the committee, are making individual efforts to come up with a plan, however. "We have a rough redistricting plan." said Becker, "but it needs more work and we have not heard the opposition to it yet. This will be a very controversial issue, and no plan will satisfy everyone. 1 hope we can narrow the controversy down to two sides and present a minority report along with a plan recommended by the committee." Davenport expressed anger that the committee had not met to consider faculty surrounding the charge by some students that faculty members devote more time to private research than to their teaching responsibilities, Ziff admitted, "There is a conflict between teaching and research at times." Most of the discussion between the professors and students centered on the definition of what a "good" teacher should be. Holman stated, "There is an assumption that there is a certain way to teach, I can't really define, whjat a good teacher is. 1 don't think you can teach people to teach. They have to develop their own methods .of relating to the students." In response to a question concerning the investigation into a person's teaching ability at the time of his initial hiring by his department, Holman replied, "1 honestly cannot recall an instance where there was not specific reference made to the teaching ability or teaching potential of a professor.

"The reorganization propositi, which is now a part of the constitution, specifically states that redistricting must be done in time for the elections on Feb. 6. If the committee doesn't get this work done by January 20, I intend to ask the Supreme Court to intervene." The Rules Committee is responsible for presenting a redistricting plan to the Student Legislature, which must effect redistricting in time for the elections. The Student Supreme Court could make up a redistricting plan and enforce it, if necessary for compliance with the constitution. At its meeting tonight, SL will consider a bill reported favorably by the Finance Committee to establish a yearly SI 50 scholarship for the.SG Elections Board chairman, to be paid in installments after the two regularly scheduled yearly SG elections. If the bill is passed, the first recipient of the money will be current Flections Board Chairman Leo Gordon. The SL will also consider Gordon's eleven appointees to the Elections Board Executive Council. The appointees, reported favorably by the Ways and Means Committee, are Gail Brown, Russell Davis, Jon Deutsch, Cindy Heffner, Alan Mann, Henry Miller, Lillian Murray, James Nance, Jarvis Sinclair, Rick Turner and Debbie Workman. Some controversy in the Ways and Means Committee over the appointments centered on the lack of representation of students from Ehringhaus Dorm and several North Campus dorms. "The dorm governors are authorized to present me with suggestions for the Board members," said Gordon, "but I have received no suggestions from them.' Other business for the meeting tonight will be a presentation by Lee Corum of "his Traffic Commission proposals. The legislature will not take action on a bill to provide radio station WCAR with 515,000 to enable it to move from Ehringhaus Dorm to the Union Building. The Finance Committee has again delayed action on this bill, until more bids on the construction work have been received by outside construction companies, and the University Physical Plant Department's bid has been submitted in more detail. by Marcia Decker Feature Writer Jack Anderson, muckraker par excellence, will be the next speaker at the Carolina Forum. Anderson will appear in Carmichael Auditorium Friday, Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Carolina Union Information Desk, at SI each. A self-appointed "watchdog on government," Jack Anderson has gained a nationwide notoriety for his exposes of government scandal and intrigue. Since inheriting the "Washington Merry -Go-Round" column from his mentor, Drew Pearson, in 1969, Anderson has uncovered evidence of governmentbusiness collusion in the ITT case, the U.S.' biased position in the India-Pakistan conflict, and a series of plots to subvert national elections in I A - if I) sun provided this shot illustrating that (Staff photo by Tom Lassiter) I f 1 ' . nf 1 " "A r i ' V" 1 1 ' S i 5 f V f .- Hazy Students often complain about the maintenance done and not done by the Physical Plant. But sometimes a lack of maintenance helps create pictures such as this one from a seldom-used campus window. (Staff photo by Tom Lassiter) February vote by David Eskridge Staff Writer A bill advocating judicial reform at UNC is being developed by Student Government (SG) for student approval sometime next February, according to Reid James, student body attorney general. The bill will establish the framework within which the UNC Code of Student Conduct and all structures and procedures Chile. Tactically and philosophically Anderson's approach is like that of Ralph Nader, the only individual who consistently appears in a favorable light in Anderson's column. Both are obsessed by the influence of private power and big money on public men and public policy, which Anderson characterizes as "the incestuous relationship between government and big business." Although hardly presenting a balanced view '("The public wants someone behind the scenes, telling it like it really is"), Anderson is credited with producing a more impartial, less vindictive column than Pearson's. Despite such occasional slips as the Chappaquiddick incident and Thomas Eagleton's alleged 'drunken driving," Anderson is generally accurate, and rarely pleads for any special cause, except honesty in government. Bill to 'Frank discussion .Nixon United Press International WASHINGTON - President Nixon held a "very detailed ... a very frank discussion" with South Vietnam President Nguyen Van Thieu's special emissary for 2ln hours Wednesday on the Vietnam cease-fire agreement that has drawn criticism from Saigon. White House press secretary Ronald Ziegler, in characterizing the meeting, refused to discuss the substance of Nixon's extended conversation with Nguyen Phu Due and fended off questions whether a Nixon-Thieu summit meeting had been proposed. "There is no meeting planned at this time," he said. "I can't predict events or rule out a meeting between President Nixon and President Thieu at some time in the future. But no meeting has been planned at this time." Following the meeting in the President's Oval Room office, Due, who 0 define judiciary for defining and enforcing the Code are set forth. ... - The 35-page doctrine n the bill in eludes the following: The establishment of the basic premises of Student Judicial Governance defining the extent and situations in which the University should regulate the Code, and encouraging the commitment of members of the University community to an Honor Code "as the normative regulation under which academic work is performed." Jack Anderson envoy is Thieu's chief foreign policy adviser, retired to the nearby office of his U.S. counterpart, Henry A. Kissinger, who is flying to Paris Sunday for what might well be the final negotiating session with North Vietnam on a peace settlement. The Saigon government has been openly critical of Kissinger's handling of the Paris talks, and Thieu was believed to have sought to appeal directly to Nixon in the hope of driving a harder bargain King Nyle has gone King Nyle, creater and emperor of the Invisible Universe and the Invisible University of North Carolina has left Chapel Hill. His many plans, antics, parties, picnics and concerts had become a part of the life on the campus for the past three years. But now he has left. DTH Feature Writer Peter Barnes interviewed the King before he left and wrote the in-depth story on him which appears on page three today.

Residence College Federation i RCF) Chairman Stee Saunders announced Tuesday night at the RCF Executive Board meeting. Saunders will appoint the members anJ the body should begin meeting next semester. Efforts arc still being made to set up an investigation of the Plant, as requested by Student Legislature and RCF. Physical Plant, which handles most of the dorm repairs and services, has come under a barrage of criticism this fall from dorm residents. Several petitions ere circulated among dorms asking for an investigation into numerous aspects of the Plant. Policies on dormitory common area damage and lounge use are presently being formulated and should be approved in the near future, Saunders said. Francis Sparrow, director of the Student Activities Fund Office, met with the executive board to discuss the office's present procedures. The duties of the office are maintaining a standard set of accounts for each residence college, protectographing and countersigning of all checks, receiving all deposits from the treasurer, alloting social funds on a percentage basis and assisting the residence college officers in understanding the complete financial structure.

The definition of the various sanctions which allow a court to sentence an offender and the possible avenues of pardon that exist. A statement explaining the appointment, minimum qualifications and functions of the officers of the Student Judicial Governance including the student attorney general, court administrator and supervisory board. The bill also contains a section specifying student rights of privacy and expression. It states, "These rights extend to residence hall living where the right to be secure in one's person, !iving quarters, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures is guaranteed." The bill also guarantees the rights of the privacy of all student records and the freedom of speech and press. According to James, the bill is now with Chancellor Ferebee Taylor awaiting his approval and suggestions. If Taylor gives his approval, the bill will then come up for a vote before the student body in the general campus elections Feb. 9. The bill also must be approved by the faculty after it is voted on by the students before it will become law. conire with the Communists. In describing the Nixon-Due meeting as a "very frank discussion," Ziegler used the phrasing diplomats usually employ to indicate serious disagreement. Sitting in on the Nixon-Due meeting, which lasted from 3 p.m. until about 5:30 p.m., were Kissinger, his deputy, Maj. Gen. Alexander M. Haig, and Tran Kim Phuong, the South Vietnamese ambassador to Washington. i fl
