Student Body President Richard Epps
said Sunday that he and president-elect
Ford Runge intend to work to bring
about a change in the recent Faculty
Council decision to limit to four the
number of pass-fail hours a student can
take in one semester.
"Friday, I went to speak with
Chancellor Taylor about this," said Epps.
'Taylor referred me to George Taylor,
chairman of the faculty. Ford and I
:ntend to ask that the matter be placed
on the agenda for reconsideration at the
next Faculty Council meeting."
Epps said he also talked with Associate
Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences
Frank Duffey, who referred him to Henry
C. Boren, secretary of the faculty.

Work has begun on updating a
desegregation plan for the University
system, according to President William
Friday.
Friday's office received a copy of the
recent decision by U.S. District Court
Judge John G. Pratt early last week,
Friday said.
The decision states that the

Is Chapel Hill changing too fast?
Should future changes be closely
managed? What kind of place do you
think Chapel Hill should become?
Thursday night in the Municipal
building Chapel Hill citizens voiced
opinions on matters of future city
planning in the first community meeting
of PITCH, an organization set up to
solicit community opinion.
Arthur Hurow, PITCH staff member,
presented statistics of Chapel Hill's
growth since 1 960.
"The projected population of Chapel
Hill for 1980 is 33,000," said Hurow.
Hurow went on to cite figures on the
median house prices, rent, figures on
Chapel Hill's job market, traffic problems
and land use. Hurow said, "The
non-Utopian future of Chapel Hill can

During his conversation with Duffey,
Epps said, he received a copy of a survey
of student opinion which was used by the
Faculty Council's committee on the pass
fail option. Duffey chaired the
committee.
"Duffey told me that the survey was
the primary basis of the committee's
decision on the matter," Epps said.
Duffey, when asked how the survey
figured in the committee's decision, said,
"The faculty reacted to these figures, and
considered them." When asked if the
committee considered any other
expression of student opinion, he said
"You ought to ask Mark Applebaum
about that. He administered the survey."
According to the survey results, the
questionnaire was mailed to 500 students,
108 of whom responded. Over 75 per
cent of the respondents had never taken a
order

which says that no federal aid is to go to
segregated public school systems. UNC
was one of the systems named in the
opinion as having failed to comply with
the law by filing a desegregation plan.
"Cameron West, Richard Robinson
and I will work on this plan together with
the chancellors of the various campuses,"
Friday said.
Robinson is an assistant to Friday, and
West is vice president in charge of
planning at UNC.
"We will probably be conferring with
the N.C. Attorney General's Office and
with Gov. Holshouser about the plan. The
take one of three directions: 1) continue
the way we have, 2) encourage growth or
3) selectively limit our growth," he
concluded.
PITCH now meets with small
organizations and individuals to present
facts and discuss issues, holding another
community meeting on April 12 to
summarize the outcome of these
discussions.
"I think the Planning Board should set
up a subcommittee to study the place of
the poor people in Chapel Hill," said one
citizen, "to insure that we don't become
a lily-white, high income,
university-oriented town."
Several citizens voiced approval of a
possible sub-community plan in which
Chapel Hill would be divided into 1 1
communities. Each sub-community
would have shopping and recreation
facilities. This plan would reduce traffic
throughout the Central Business District.

currently enrolled in a pass-fail course.
Seventy-seven per cent of the
respondents said they thought pass-fail
policies were not clearly defined and well
publicized.
Twenty-six per cent said they thought
that the number of hours of pass-fail
courses a student could take in one
semester should be limited to four.
Seventy-four per cent said that the
sign-up period for pass-fail courses should
be extended from two weeks to nine
weeks. Part of the faculty's decisions on
pass-fail extended the period to four
weeks.
Epps and Runge both said they hoped
to gain faculty co-operation to discuss the
matter.

plan will be submitted to the Board of
Governors before we send it to HEW."
Friday has stated that work on the
plan began in 1969, when UNC and the
state government began to receive
communications from HEW to the effect
that the University had to file a plan for
desegregation.
After 1971, according to West, HEW
did not communicate with individual
institutions or state agencies here about
desegregation of UNC. The completion of
the plan was delayed by restructuring of
the University system.
Unofficial sources have indicated that
a further reason for delay in the
submission of the plan was disagreement
between, the Office of Civil Rights of
HEW and the federal administration
concerning the need for compliance with
Title VI.
Expectations are that the plan will
place UNC in compliance with the recent
rulings, because it. conforms to what HEW
was asking of individual institutions at
the time work on the plan began.
According to news reports, unofficial
sources within HEW state that the
department plans to appeal the portion of
the decision which concerns secondary
and elementary schools. The decision sets
rigid timetables for enforcement of the
Civil Rights law to begin in
non-complying districts. For higher
education systems, a 120-day deadline
was set.
This decision constitutes the relief
granted to the NAACP, plaintiff in an
earlier suit before Pratt which resulted in
the decision that Title VI has not been
enforced as it should. The recent decision
sets directions for enforcement within a
specified time limit.
The General Administration of UNC
has consistently taken the position that it
attempted to comply with earlier
directives of HEW.
Friday and West have cited the
beginning of work on the plan and
evidence that percentages of blacks on
predominantly white UNC campuses, as
well as whites on black campuses, have
increased since 1970.

DURHAM - The last time Carolina beat Duke
in Durham's Cameron Indoor Stadium, the place
had a different name. Charlie Scott was a UNC
freshman, Lyndon Johnson was President and
John O'Donnell was a hefty ninth-grader.
Saturday's 72-70 Tar Heel victory marked the
end of a Blue Devil era, a string of Duke victories
which saw the Tar Heels drop five straight in the
cigarette city.
For Dean Smith's Heels, the big man was
O'Donnell, a 6-6, 202-pound junior from New
York City. O'Donnell, who always saves his best
games for Duke, hit an unbelievable eight of nine

Sign-up procedures for students
wishing to reserve a room in University
housing next semester will begin after
spring break, according to the Office of
Housing Assignments.
Elizabeth Nail, director of University
Housing, said that a preference, sheet
explaining the entire sign-up procedure in
detail will be circulated throughout all
campus dorms on March 20.
These sheets will be filled out by
students stating their room preference for
next year. The students should return the
sheets to their resident advisers before
March 23.

He committed no fouls and led Carolina from a
second-half nine-point deficit to stash the victory.
There were other heros for Carolina in a team
effort. Guard Darrell Elston went eight-for-15,
including a driving layup with 20 seconds left and
the score tied 68-68. Ed Stahl played a great inside
game, going five-for-seven and getting 10
rebounds. And Bobby Jones scored 14 points.

boost going into this week's ACC tournament, .
lifted the Tar Heel record to 22-6, in the ACC.

On April 2 and 3, students wishing to
stay in the same dormitory next semester
but to change rooms will sign up with
their resident director.
The procedure will change this year in
its thiru phase concerning students who
want to move from - one dormitory to

committee
positions
Still getting organized after a month of
elections, the Campus Governing Council
(CGC) met Thursday lor the first time
with Student Body president-elect Ford
Runge and selected members for the four
standing committees in the CGC.
The CGC also passed a protest
resolution against the fact that no ACC
tournament tickets have been made
available to the students.
In remarks before the CGC, Runge
cautioned the legislators that this year is
crucial for student government to be
performing noticeable benefits for the
student body. If not, said Runge, the
council might well take heed of Pitt
Dickey's 41 per cent of the vote and just
forget about student government.
Runge advised the CGC on what
priorities Student Government should
concern itself with this year, and said that
it was his intention to establish a
cooperative relationship with the CGC.
The CGC completed the selection of
committee members which had begun the
week before with the choosing of
committee chairpersons. The committees
are as follows:
Finance Committee: Dick Baker
(chairperson), Richard Robertson, Carl
Fox, Bill Putnam, Fred Stern and Ford
Runge; Judicial Committee: Eliot
Stephenson (chairperson), John Kaleel,
Bill Singer, Kyle Terrell and Juli Tenney;
Executive Appointments Committee:
Ernie Patterson and Robert Hackney
(co-chairpersons), Amelia Bellows, Bill
Snodgrass and Hunter Dalton; and Rules
Committee: Jim Becker (chairperson),
Gerry Cohen, Tuck Atkinson, Gary
McLean and Ross Miller.

On April 12, 13 and 16, interviews for
those students taking part in the lottery
will take place. Students will choose from
the available spaces on campus, with low
numbers having top priority.
Students moving into Granville Towers
from supervised University housing will
pay a $50 refundable security deposit
when they apply. No other payment is
due until Aug. 1.
The last phase of the procedure will
take place on April 17 and 18. This is
when other students presently not living
on campus can sign up for whatever space
is left.

Smith was understandably delighted to win in
the Pit. "It's very pleasing to win here " he said,
"especially the way we did it, falling so far behind
in the second half and keeping our poise.
O'Donnell certainly had a big game for us. He
came in to give us the spark just like he did in
Chapel Hill."
The game started out with both teams playing
rather sloppily, but Carolina still surged to an early
18-8 lead.
The rest of the half-was close, but Carolina
maintained a 32-28 lead going into the rest period.
