Transit
rant
needteo.

Staff Writer
Well, the shouting is over, the people
have gone to the polls and Chapel Hill is
definitely going to have a bus system. But
don't go down and wait on the comer
just yet.
, It will be at least September before the
first bus rolls on the streets of "the
village," according to Lee Corum, student
representative in the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro-University Transportation
Committee.
The first order of business is to apply
for a federal grant from the Department
of Transportation. This capital
improvements grant would pay two-thirds
of the cost of setting up the system.
The next step will be working with
UNC to coordinate efforts to relieve the
parking problem in the town and the
University.
, "Well be working to encourage
Carrboro to hold their referendum this
spring," Corum said. "If they pass the
referendum then, they can be included in
the fall semester's bus run."
But, despite what Carrboro does, there
will be buses in Chapel Hill running
through the campus. The $350,000 in'
bonds and the $100,000 tax
authorization approved Tuesday assure
that.
- "We're going to have to get people to
change their habits now. With the new
bus transit system, they will have to start
thinking about personal transportation in
a different way."
As for the University's parking
problems, Corum says that the buses will
give the Transportation Commission
something with which to work.
"We want to emphasize that the
parking problem is a University problem,
caused by all members of the University
community. And to relieve the problem,
we want to offer solutions, not tell
people flat out that they can't park here
or there."
The Transportation Committee will
meet for the last time tonight. They will
dissolve themselves, to be replaced by a
committee selected by the Chapel Hill
aldermen to oversee implementation of
the bus system.

Representatives from several residence
halls on North Campus met Wednesday
with members of the Living-Learning
Committee appointed by the UNC
administration and showed interest in -establishing
a living-learning concept in
their dormitories.
A large delegation from Henderson
Residence College (Winston, Conner and
Alexander) was present and asked
committee members if the entire
residence college could participate in the
program.

The Daily Tar Heel wishes to apologize
for its article of Wednesday morning,
which belittled Miami of Ohio's chances
of whipping Carolina in Carmichael
Auditorium.
The Tar Heels, ranked sixth in the
nation and unbeaten against
nonconference teams, found the Redskins
from the Mid-American conference a
little rougher than expected as the visitors
romped to a stunning 102-92 victory.
The loss dropped Carolina's overall
record to 20-5. Miami is now 15-8.
The Redskins sank more unbelievable
shots than any team has against Carolina
this year. For the game, Miami shot 57

Undent Aid reductions?
Conflict in laws leaves issue undecided
by William March
Staff Writer
According to information received
from William Geer, Director of Student
Aid at UNC, the Nixon administration is
continuing with plans to implement the
Basic Opportunity Grant program (BOG)
for college students, while proposing no
funds for the National Direct Student
Loan (NDSL) and Supplementary Grant
programs.
The Supplementary Grant program is
the source of Educational Opportunity
Grants (EOG). UNC's financial aid office
awarded $1.2 million in NDSL loans and
$353,467 in EOG money this year.
According to Public Law 92-318,
which established all three programs, the
Stevens said that earlier this week the
individual dorms in the college voted
against a living-learning project being
implemented in their buildings.
However, he added that in the last 24
hours "a lot of people have gotten
excited about doing something different
for the entire residence college."
The Henderson delegation stated that
they had no end goals in mind, but they
wanted to discuss possible ideas.
Representatives from Mangum
dormitory were also present and
discussed establishing a program in Upper
Quad dorms.
The committee members said there was
no reason that a living-learning concept
scalp Heels,
per cent from the field and 75 per cent
on free throws. Many of their 42 field
goals were fired from somewhere between
the Carolina Grill and Hector's.
At the same time, Carolina was not
playing all that badly. Carolina shot 55
per cent and 71 per cent from the charity
stripe. Miami led in rebounds, 36-33, and
in turnovers (13 to UNC's 19). UNC led
in assists, 31-20.
Paced by the hot outside shooting of
Phil Lumpkin, Gary Dees and Rich
Hampton and the beautiful inside work
of Dave Elmer, the Skins raced to a
surprising 20-1 1 lead six minutes into the
game and led most of the way. It was
55-50 at the half.
In the second half, Carolina jumped
out to cut it to 55-54 after 41 seconds
$662 million for BOG grants may not be
spent unless the NDSL and EOG
programs have also been funded.
The BOG programs would provide
grants of up to $1,400 per year to
individual .students, minus the family's
expected contribution, and not to exceed
half the yearly cost of attending the
institution.
According to an American Council on
Education newsletter, John Ottina of the
U.S. Office of Education said that the
proposed "family contribution schedule"
would make about 1.5 million students
eligible for the grants next year.
Congress has until May 1 to disapprove
the schedule, but the House Special
subcommittee on Education was
favored.
could not be established in more than one
dorm on campus.
Committee member Jane Poller added,
"Anyone interested in their dorms going
living-learning should come talk with us
and use us as a resource for ideas."
A weekly meeting time "was set up by
the committee for further discussion of
the concept. The meetings will be on
Mondays from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Carolina
Union.
Students wishing more information on
living-learning are urged to contact Jane
Poller, Department of Residence Life, at
933-5404, or Allen Smith, Department of
Student Life, at 933-1 309.
had elapsed. But the visitors spurted again
to take a 71-60 lead five minutes later
and it began to look like an upset.
The Tar Heels came up with one
ferocious rally, cutting the lead to 73-70
with 11:30 left. The rally was sparked by
the defensive efforts of Bobby Jones and
Darrell Elston, each of whom came up
with some awesome blocked shots.
Miami put on another splurge to make
it 80-72, however, and the lead never
vanished.
"After the first ten minutes, we played
reasonably well," said Carolina coach
Dean Smith. "When they're shooting like
that, there's nothing you can do about
it."
"I want to give Miami full credit. They
played with a lot of poise."

RALEIGH The N.C. House of
Representatives killed a proposed
statewide referendum on the Equal
Rights Amendment (ERA) Wednesday by
a vote of 32 to 83.
Opposition to the referendum was led
by Rep. Willis Whichard, D-Durham
County, who is the sponsor of the ERA
ratification bill in the House.
Whichard said, "To pass the buck on
this issue will be a clear-cut evasion of our
responsibilities as public officials elected
for the precise purpose of making
difficult decisions."
"If we cannot absorb the heat that has
been created by this issue, we have no
business being here," he added.
Debate on whether to hold the
referendum lasted nearly two hours in a
session which had already been embroiled
in two other controversial bills.
House Majority Leader William
Watkins, D-Grandville, joined those
arguing for the referendum, saying those
who oppose the referendum might be
"trying to get out of the heat" of having
the issue come up while they are running
for re-election.
Rep. Ernest Messer, D-Hay wood, broke
the House into laughter at one point
when he accused those of arguing for the
referendum of "acting like a woman."
Later, he asked that the comment be
stricken from the record.
expected to take action on it by the end
of this month.
The newsletter quoted Rep. John
Brademas, D-Ind., as saying that the
administration is ignoring statutory
requirements to fund the EOG and NDSL
programs before initiating the BOGs.
Brademas said this was a "willful
expression of contempt for Congressional
intent."
If Congress approves the program, need
forms to be filled out by students will be
sent to colleges, high schools and current
college students.
The schedule expects 20 per cent of a
family's discretionary income and five per
cent of its available assets to be used for
support of a dependent student. The
student would be expected to contribute
33 per cent of his own assets.
As a replacement for the NDSL
program, which offers loans at three per
cent interest with no interest payments
until the student graduates, the
administration has proposed funding of a
program to guarantee repayment of bank
loans to students at seven and a half per
cent interest.
The government would pay the bank
an interest subsidy to bring its collected
interest up to nine per cent.
NDSL loans could still be made, said
Geer, from money already lent which the
University collects. Geer said that UNC
could loan about $300,000 of collected
funds next year.

Supporters of the ERA fought hard to
defeat the referendum. The effect of
Wednesday's vote will be to force the
General Assembly to decide on the
ratification of the ERA itself rather than
wait until the next session in 1976.
Rep. Thomas Sawyer, D-Guilford, was
the sponsor of the referendum bill. He
said that he had introduced it because he
feared that the Supreme Court might
stretch the provisions too far. "The thing
that strikes me with fear," he said, "is
how the Supreme Court will implement
this amendment."

UNC fears cuts
in federal grants
by William March
Staff Writer
Preliminary investigations of the effect
on UNC-Chapel HiU of federal budget
cuts for higher education indicate a
possible loss of $3.5 million in federal
training grants for next year.
This reduction in funding by the
government was proposed by President
Nixon in his budget message of Jan. 29.
The federal training grant programs, used
largely for support of graduate studies,
would eventually be phased out under
Nixon's proposals. The $3.5 million is
about half of UNC's federal training grant
funds.
The hardest-hit departments would be
the Schools of Public Health, Medicine,
Education, Social Work and the
Department of Psychology. All of these
departments use training grants to
support research and training principally
for students planning to teach in their
fields.
The $3.5 million figure is not certain.
According to department heads in several
departments which will be affected,
information from Washington on what
programs are to be cut and when is
coming slowly.
Besides the training grants, various
schools stand to lose money in research

attempted to amend the bill so that it
would read identically to the ERA
ratification bill now in committee, but he
was ruled out of order by House Speaker
James Ramsey.
The bill was killed on a roll call vote.(
Orange County Rep. Patricia Stanford
Hunt voted against the referendum. Rep.
Ed Holmes was not present.
Supporters of the ERA considered the
defeat of the referendum a victory.
However, it is too early to tell how the
ERA will fare in the House. Many of the
legislators who voted against the
referendum are presently uncommitted.
grants and capitation grants which are
administered under the National Institute
of Health.
The capitation grants are made to
schools in the health fields on the basis of
enrollment. In some schools, these grants
provide funds for faculty salaries. Other
departments have avoided using the
grants for faculty support as much as
possible.
According to the results of the
investigation released Wednesday by
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor, the
University is studying the full impact of
loss of the funds.
. Departments such as Public Health and
Psychology may face loss of faculty
positions, but possibilities of alternative
funding are .being investigated at
departmental and University-wide levels.
"We may not lose a single teacher
here," said Vice Chancellor Claiborne
Jones.
Predictions by some department heads
are that while no immediate faculty loss
is likely, the loss from the research and
training cuts will be acutely felt in future
shortages of teachers in the areas
affected.
Possibilities for alternative funding for
the research and training programs center
on state funds and state allocation of
federal revenue sharing funds.
