Vol. 81, No. 100 Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Tuesday, February 13, 1973 Founded February 23. 1893 o eariini in Masks rod by William March Staff Writer The Student Supreme Court will hear Allen Mask's challenge to the results of the Feb. 6 presidential election Thursday at 7:00 p.m. The location of the hearing is yet undetermined. A legal brief filed by Mask's counsel, Roger Bernholz, asks that the presidential election be held over, or that the presidential election be rerun only for the dorms served by the Everett polling place. There is no way that Mask's challenge could jeopardize any other parts of the election. Other challenges to the election results Carrboro slates bus by Linda Livengood Staff Writer Tonight at 7 p.m., the Carrboro Board of Aldermen will decide the fate of the proposed bus referendum for the town of Carrboro. On Nov. 14, 1972, the Aldermen refused to place the proposed Chapel Hill-Carrboro bus system on a Jan. 23 referendum. In January a public hearing was scheduled to discuss the proposed bus referendum .Over 100 people attended and most farmed allowing KS people to decide the merits of the bus system in a referendum. The matter was turned over to members of the Planning Board who were to announce their decision this month. Carrboro Town Manager Frank Chamberlain said the Planning Board recommends approval of the busing referendum. The final decision will rest in the hands of the aldermen tonight. In a telephone interview Alderman John Boone said he had opposed the referendum earlier and that he still opposes it. He said he was not in favor of the bus system being subsidized by the taxpayers. When questioned about his possible .vote this evening, Alderman Don Peninger would give no definite answer. He said his opinions "had not been swayed by the people at the public hearing."

Leo Gordon, elections board chairman, is named as defendant in all challenges. As an official of the student government administration, he must be represented by the attorney general's staff. Richard Letchworth, a member of Attorney General Reid James' staff, will defend Gordon in the presidential challenge. Mask's brief alleges that the Everett polling place was closed for between 30 and 60 minutes during the election day, in violation of the election laws. The brief further states, "Contrary to board vote "not against the proposed bus system." She is not against the referendum. She is against taxing property owners to pay for the system. Rigsbee said "if the system pays its own way, then I think it is fine." Alderman Boyd Ellington stated he1 had been against the referendum earlier. He said he "hasn't had time to think about it recently" due to personal reasons. Fred Chamblee, another alderman, said he was opposed to the proposal at an earlier time. Now he is "waiting to hear from the Planning Board before making any further comments." Chamblee said he was "not opposed to the bus system if it can be funded in other ways." He stated that the residents of Carrboro should be allowed to have votes on different questions and not just on the tax question. Chamblee feels the taxpayers should decide if they want public transportation and are willing to pay higher taxes, if necessary. George T. Lathrop, chairman of the Transportation Commission which originally proposed the bus system, said that proponents of the system should keep pushing toward a referendum, even if the board votes it down. A meeting of interested students will be held tonight in the Union at 9 p.m. Mayor Howard Lee of Chapel Hill and Lee Corum will speak. See story on page 5. Si (tilay O O 1UMMD1 the General Elections Law, the poll was not held open after 7:00 p.m. to compensate for its closing." The brief also alleges that the poll closed prior to the legal closing time of 7:00 p.m. The Everett poll serves residents of Lewis, Stacy, Graham, Aycock and Everett dorms, which were Mask's stronghold during the election. Mask won a total of about five districts, including the Everett poll, but his margin there was greatest. Poll-tender and elections board member Lee Waggoner stated that the poll ran out of ballots for the race for Men's Residence Council chairman. A poll must close if it runs out of ballots for any race. Waggoner said he asked permission to leave the poll open late to compensate for the closing, but this was not done. If the challenge is upheld, a new election could be held as early as Thursday, Feb. 22. If a runoff were still necessary, the earliest a new president could be certified as elected would be March 1. The challenges to be heard tonight will be those of James Srebro in CGC on-campus district II and Johnny Kaleel in on-campus district VI. Kaleel is asking only for a recount. Kaleel was only two votes away from a victory with no runoff in his district, and if a recount showed the number of total valid votes cast to be lower, he would have the necessary majority. As the results now stand, a runoff is indicated between Kaleel and Drew Cobbs. Srebro came in a close third in his district, behind Christina Ewendt and Kyle Terrell. If he had received 20 more votes, he would have been in the runoff instead of Terrell. Srebro's complaint cites the appearance of Deryl Davis' name on the ballot. Davis was not a candidate, but she still drew 20 votes. He alleges that Davis' name materially affected the election. Weather TODAY: Partly cloudy, high in the 40s. Cloudy tonight, low in the 30s. Thirty per cent chance of rain today, 40 per cent tonight. Guidelines for L ouoi by BillShipman Staff Writer A policy governing the use of residence hall lounges has been adopted by the Department of Residence Life, effective March 1. The policy is virtually the same as the one proposed to Residence Life by Residence College Federation (RCF), with an amendment allowing for future changes. Designed to allow the lounges to be used by non-dorm residents while protecting the rights of residence hall students, the policy establishes guidelines that each residential unit (dorm or residence college) must use in adopting the policy. Yeltehs9: ge by Jane Currence Feature Writer Yeltehs told me a story. "One day. while I was working in the Lenoir Hall Cafeteria at Carolina. I hypnotized one of the other hoys and got caught by the manager. He fired me. of course, but I wouldn't wake the boy up until he gave me my job back, so he rehired me!" Telling this story is the clever and talented character who manages the Student Stores. To the people whom he hypnotized in his younger and wilder days, he is Yeltehs. To the people who work with him. he's an enthusiastic, personable and progressive part of the office. To the student, he is Thomas Shetley. Born and reared in Dallas, N.C Shetley graduated from high school and was off to fly the skies during World War II as an aerial gunner with the Aviation C'adels- in the Pacific.

(Staff photo by Tad Stewart) How to define out-of-state Legislature faces 'domicile' question on tuition by William March Staff Writer Several bills have been introduced before the North Carolina General Assembly which would change the requirements for an out-of-state student to establish in-state residency for tuition purposes. One bill, strongly supported by corporations in the Research Triangle, would enable children of families who move into North Carolina to establish residency as long as their families move into the state prior to their enrollment or re-enrollment in an institution of UNC. This would enable a man who moves dorms policy Guidelines that must be followed by the residential units are: 1) A designation of which lounges may be used by non-residential groups; 2) A time at which lounge functions must end, with a method of extending these hours in special situations; 3) A sign-up procedure to be followed to secure the use of the lounges; and 4) A damage responsibility clause. The Residence Life policy includes an amendment to the RCF proposal which says the guidelines are "subject to change as dictated by experience." Also included is a provision that all residential unit policies must be approved by the Director of Residence Life and the chairman of the Residence Hall Association (RHA) store mama began traveling the state as a hypnotist in his spare time. "Even had a booking agent," admitted Shetley as he told the story. "1 learned hypnosis from a book while in the Pacific because I had to do something to keep from going batty on that island with no wine, women or song." Although his antics as a hypnotist were profitable, he began to realize the possible danger of fooling with hypnosis and decided to concentrate on academics. "It was fun." he said with a grin, "but I didn't want to flunk out of school." A correspondence course in accounting enabled Shetley to find employment with a public accounting firm, prompting him to get a degree in the field. As a cost accountant, he spent one year with the Physical Plant in Chapel Hill, then moved on to the Student Stores, eventually rising to his present position with the unfortunate death of the manager in l463. Married to a native Chapel Hillian and father of four girls and one boy. Shetley is a rare individual. In his spare time he has written a novel. "A Voice Not God's," presently awaiting publication. He also enjoys reading a wide spectrum of "anything well written." During the into North Carolina to work with a corporation to enroll his children as residents immediately upon their arrival, rather than waiting I 2 months for in-state residency status. According to sources in the UNC administration, the administration has attempted to work into a residency bill a provision to allow the Board of Governors to set rules and definitions under which an out-of-state student could establish his residency here. Other bills currently before the Assembly provide that a student who establishes himself as a "bona fide" resident of the state may count his time spent in school toward meeting the 12-month residency adoiDled. which replaced RCF last week. Robert Kepner, director of Residence Life, plans to meet with outgoing RCF Cha irman Steve Saunders and newly elected RHA Chairman Janet Stephens to discuss minor changes in the policy and to assure full communication among the organizations and offices involved in the policy's implementation. The need for a lounge policy developed last spring when non-students using the lounges caused problems which were especially severe in James dorm. Lounge policy violations will be punishable by levying damage charges, suspending a group's privilege to use lounges, and levying fines for repeated violations. &er requiiement for establishing in-stats residency status. Currently, North Carolina law states that so long as a student continues his education in North Carolina, he cannot change the residency status he held when he first enrolled. There have been legal decisions against this law in some places. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court dealt with a case from Minnesota, and held that a student may be presumed to be a non-resident while he continues his education, but that this presumption should not be final and irrefutable. In other words, there might be conditions under which an out-of-state student could establish in-state residency while he is a student. The hills currently before the Assembly are attempts to establish such conditions, in compliance with the Supreme Court's ruling. The bill supported by the UNC administration, which was introduced last week simultaneously in the House and the Senate, would establish the presumption that a student is a non-resident, but allows that time the student spends in school may count toward meeting the in-state residency requirement. Thus, if the student establishes a bona fide domicile in the state, he may count his time as a student toward his residency requirement. But the presumption will be that, as a student, he has not established a bona fide domicile. This bill, sponsored in the Senate by Herman Knox and in the House by George Miller, would allow the BojrJ of Governors the power to decide under what conditions a student would be allowed to qualify as a "bona fide" resident. It would repeal N.C. Genera! Statute 1 16-144, by which law this power is vested with the General Assembly. autho r last few weeks, Rudyard Kipling and other children's authors have caught Shelley's eye, not just because he's young at heart but. according to Shetley, "because I'm enjoying catching up on the literature I missed in boyhood. Besides, it beats the hell out of TV!" He always finds time each day though, to spend alone with each of his children. A thoughtful man, he commented, "I will not be so selfish in the pursuit of pleasure as "to leave my children." Possibly the only man in history being called down because his business letters are too poetic, Tom Shetley claims that it's because he "thinks in similes and metaphors." Fvident in his colorful conversation, he is witty, well versed in many subjects and a master of both trivia and the Fnglish language. Claiming to be "quite a complex character," and accurately so, Shetley enjoys the simple life of Chapel Hill. He has found people who travel and read a lot to share his experiences with, and he enjoys the campus and students as well. He added. "In all of my umpteen years here, I've never wished I was any where else." By the way, Yeltehs is Shetley spelled backwards.
