The Faculty Council Agenda
Committee decided Wednesday to place
re-consideration of the faculty's recent
decisions on the pass-fail option on the
agenda for the next Council meetin on .
March 23.
The committee heard arguments from
former student body president Richard
Epps and new , president Ford Runge
before making its decision.
The meeting was closed, but Chairman
of the Faculty George V. Taylor
announced afterwards that the pass-fail
regulations would be re-considered and
that the Council would hear from a
representative of the student body and a
representative of James Gaskin, Dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences, before
making its decision.
The administrative boards of the
General College and the College of Arts
and Sciences have, since 1969, submitted
proposals for regulations about the
pass-fail option to the Faculty Council.
Four such proposals have been
submitted, the first in 1 969, which
established the pass-fail option for the fall
of that year. In every case, the boards
have asked that the limit of one pass-fail
course per semester for any student be
. imposed.
Last year, for the first time, the
Faculty Council voted to lift this

- The following positions should be
filled by minority members: a vice
chancellor for Minority Affairs, an
associate dean of Student Affairs, an
assistant vice chancellor for Health
Affairs, an associate dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences and an assistant to
the provost.
Dean of Student Affairs Donald
Boulton has been involved in efforts to
create the associate dean of Student
Affairs position and fill it with a minority
group member.
Other recommendations are that every
effort be made to recruit American
Indian students who presently comprise
about 0.1 per cent of the UNC-Chapel
Hill student population and that the
University sponsor a tutorial service and
an academic skills center to be used by all
restriction. The proposal submitted this
year for the Feb. 16 meeting included the
same restriction and the faculty voted it
back into effect.
"The Agenda Committee felt that
there had been very little discussion
about the matter at the council meeting
when the regulations were adopted, and
that there should be discussion about it,"
Runge said after the committee meeting.
"At least one committee member thought
that the council discussion was apathetic
and that there were insufficient questions
and answers."
At the Feb. 16 meeting, the council
adopted an eight-point schedule of
regulations concerning the pass-fail
option. The second item, which has
aroused controversy, is the one which
required that no student shall take more

PCP ciite street

PCP (Phencyclidine) has come to
North Carolina in a big way. Chemists at
the State Bureau of Investigation estimate
that one-half of the street drugs being
. sold in the state as mescaline, THC or
psylocibin are really a mixture of LSD
and PCP.
PCP is a veterinary -tranquilizer used on
monkeys and chimpanzees. When taken
by humans, the drug acts as a
hallucinogen. Paranoia and preoccupation
with death may result if a large dose is

A minority report of the 1 1 -member
committee, drawn up and signed by
Lawrence Slifkin, Kenneth Brown and
William Straughn, all faculty members
and Bonnie Wexler, a student, states that
the initial appointment of one minority
official, rather than several, would be
better.
The minority report says that
"consideration of further appointments
might well await evaluation of the
situation as experienced by this first
coordinator."
The three black members of the
committee, faculty member Hortense
McClinton, graduate student Humphrey
Cummings and undergraduate student
Leonard Lee, all supported the majority
opinion of the committee.

Taylor said, "The Agenda Committee
felt that the student leaders who
appeared before the committee (Epps and
Runge) made some valuable points which
the faculty's earlier decision did not take
into accouunt, and this is why we decided
to re-schedule the matter.
"The re-consideration will, be
completely open. The council may decide"
to discuss, take a new vote, offer new
amendments or anything they wish."
The faculty will have the choice to
repeal, modify or confirm the

the volunteers, reported. "When used as a

system, distracting from pain rather than
blocking it. That's what produces

These recommendations will be
brought to the attention of the Faculty
Council although not as resolutions:
The committee strongly endorses
the efforts presently being made by the
Committee on the Recruitment of Black
Faculty to increase the small proportion
of blacks currently on the faculty staff;
That greater coordination be
undertaken between the committee, the
black faculty committee ' and the
Committee on the Status of Women;
" That greater efforts be made to
recruit minority graduate students;
That the remedy of certain
disruptive activities in South Campus
dorms be performed by the dorm officials
themselves, but within the general
University guidelines;
That efforts should be made to have
minority students take part in the
planning and implementation of
Freshman Orientation Week;
That minority students be given
significant input regarding the planning
and decision-making of University-wide
social events (especially advertisement to
blacks of vacancies on the various
Carolina Union committees);
' That the creation of the Upendo
Lounge, which provides a meeting and
social area for black students, is a step in
the right direction toward meeting the
needs of blacks as expressed in the
committee's survey.
The survey upon which the committee
bases its"recommendations was conducted
by David Kleinbaum of the Biostatistics
Department last spring with
questionnaires mailed to all minority
students and a control group of white
! students.
The most important findings of the
committee through the survey were that
blacks and other minority students were
not satisfied with their overall experience
at UNC, that the greatest source of
discontent concerned social life and social
activities, and that blacks were almost
unanimously concerned with the small
number of black faculty members and
advisers.

Says credibility of Student Government at stake
Wednesday, on his 20th birthday, Ford
Runge took the oath of office and
became president of the UNC student
body. The oath was administered by
Chief Justice David Crump.
The short inaugural ceremony was held
in the Carolina Union and was attended
by several University officials including
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor, Dean
Donald A. Boulton and Dean James
Cansler.
Out-going President Richard Epps
stated that he was pleased that race was
not a factor in his administration. He felt
that he did not lose a single issue because
he is black.
"We have set a precedent that student
government must follow. Student
government cannot go back to being
passive on the issues of human and race
relations." Lpps said. "Student
government must be a leader in these
areas from this point forward."

Dorm rent rise
expected
by Stella Morgan
Staff Writer
A raise in room rent beginning in the
fall of 1973 appears necessary, according
to Janet Stephens, president of the
Resident Hall Association (RHA).
Stephens and RHA staff assistant Chip
Black met with representatives of the
Office of Residence Life and the Business
Office Wednesday afternoon to discuss
the rent question.
Another meeting with the RHA Board
has been scheduled for Monday, March
19, at which time the facts and figures
will be presented for full discussion.
Stephens said Dean of Student Affairs
Donald Boulton will send letters to all
dorm students concerning the proposed
room rent increase as soon as a decision is
reached.
In their weekly meeting Tuesday night,
the RHA Governing Board approved the
by-laws for the RHA.
The new provisions limit the number
of absences permitted each member to
four per semester. The board will decide
whether or not an absence is an excused
one.
Another provision allows a
representative to appoint a substitute to
vote for him if he cannot attend at a
meeting. A written statement authorizing
the proxy vote must be delivered to the
takes official oath
Sky party candidate Pitt Dickey should
not be taken lightly.
"I think it is important to note that
students make Chapel Hill and the
University,". Runge said. "If they choose
to do something and are prepared to say
so, it will be done. Silence in the face of
exploitation is tantamount to
acceptance."
In addition to the long range consumer
programs he outlined, Runge announced
that he and former president Epps were
going to meet with the Faculty Agenda
Committee to request repeal, or at least
modification, of the new pass-fail ruling.
Runge revealed that "he is stepping
down as the head of the Student
Consumer Action Union (SCAU). Ted
Clayhorn will be the new chairman.
At the close of the ceremony. Jack
Dalton, a second year med student, stood
up and announced to those assembled
that he was contributing a dollar to help
Student Government deal with the
problems of students living in town and
encouraged others to follow his example.

The board decided that an article
concerning provisions for elections in
informal areas should be added to the
by-laws. Stephens said she would provide
such an article to be approved by the
board at the next meeting.
The board was informed that the
distribution of the Village Advocate and
the Town and Gown on campus is in
violation of the Umstead Act prohibiting
commercial business on campus, with few
exceptions.
Stephens -indicated she would request
that the shoppers guides either be left in
the lobbies of residence halls or put on
racks for students to collect rather than
the present practice of delivery to
individual rooms.
