After ten months of state-wide work, a
Student Bill of Rights was submitted
Thursday to the code committee of the
UNC Board of Governors.
Student body presidents from eight
UNC campuses met in Chapel Hill for the
presentation.
The code committee will study the bill
and recommend to the Board of
Governors a draft for chapter six of the
University Code. .
V "Our presentation today marked what
I consider a milestone in state-wide
student cooperation," UNC Student
Body President Richard Epps said.
"The Code Committee was at least
open-minded about our student rights
proposals. However, it is very difficult to
say how much of our material they will
actually incorporate into the Code of the
University," Epps explained.
The proposed Student Bill of Rights
includes five major points:
that the University act as only an
educational enterprise to the students and
not as an "arbiter of student morals or
personal affairs, nor as the enforcer of
society norms."
that student activity fees be

More changes may be in store for
UNC's recently revamped, centralized
higher education . system, due to a
little-noticed - amendment to last year's
Higher Education Act.
Section 1202 of the Education
Amendments Act requires the
establishment of state postsecondary
education planning commissions which
may eventually have a big hand in the
distribution of federal aid to colleges and
higher education planning.
Under new programs which will
become effective in the fiscal year
beginning July 1, the planning
commissions would be required for states
to receive federal funds for community
colleges and occupational education. In
addition, broader statewide planning and
studies for postsecondary institutions
would be the commission's responsibility.
Other powers of the commissions may
include the responsibility for allocating
funds of certain other federal
education-aid programs, such as
construction for undergraduate academic
facilities.
A special task force has been
appointed to develop guidelines for the
makeup and specific power of these
boards.
UNC President William Friday
attended a meeting in Washington this
week to review proposals made by the
task force.
'Friday said he anticipated it would be
late March before the plans were ready
for consideration by the legislature.

According to redistricting plans, there
will be six graduate districts and 14
undergraduate districts-eight of the
undergraduate districts being on-campus
and six being off-campus.
The six graduate districts are not
geographic districts but are based on the
field of study due to the widely-dispersed
nature of graduate residences.
The graduate districts as approved by
SL and devised by Rep. Jim Becker are as
follows:
Graduate District (GD) I: Departments
of Art, Drama, Music, RTVMP, Classics,
Comparative Literature, Folklore,
Linguistics, Germanic Languages,
Romance Languages, Slavic Languages,

appointments of blacks and other
minorities to decision-making positions.
Daily Tar Heel Editor Evans Witt
attended the meeting and requested that
the committee approve a uniform Bill of
Rights.
"Such an expression should make clear
that these rights are for all those in the
University' community without
discrimination," Witt said.
Epps said that another step will be a
presentation of portions of the bill before
