(Staff photo by George Brown) Second half approved Summer jbnadget finished. C7 The second part of the 1973 summer Student Government (SG) budget was approved by the Campus Governing Council (CGC) in a poorly attended meeting Tuesday night. The budget, which was introduced by CGC Treasurer Steve Jones, will be in effect through August 14, 1973. The budget was partially approved by the council June 5, but several budget requests from campus organizations had been delayed until the newly-formed Finance Committee could reriew -the proposals. Additions to the budget included a $50 increase for office expenses to the Association of Women Students and $105 to The Tar Heel for the advertising revenues section. Monies were also approved for a telephone answering service to the Student Consumer Committee. Scholarship funds given to chemistry A new scholarship fund has been established as a memorial to the late Dr. James Talmage Dobbins, a chemistry professor who died in Chapel Hill last year. The establishment of the fund will provide scholarship assistance to graduate students of "strong character who show great promise in their pursuit of careers in chemistry." Dobbins was a professor emeritus of chemistry who taught at the University from 1918 to 1960. According to Dr. Richard G. Hiskey, chairman of the chemistry department, the fund will attract outstanding young scientists to the graduate program and honor a dedicated former teacher. Dobbins attended UNC on a scholarship in 1907. In an attempt to improve education in North Carolina schools, any public school teacher was allowed to attend UNC tuition free. Dobbins was the only teacher in a one-room school, from which he graduated the previous year. Dobbins then went on to earn a B.A., an M.A., and a PhD. After a short stint of teaching at North Carolina State, he came back to UNC. He was promoted to full professor in 1930, and was the senior member of the division of analytical chemistry when he retired. Dobbins primarily taught sophomore chemistry and frequently there were more than 200 students in his classes. Six campus organizations were allotted funds for the summer. They are the Black Student Movement, $550; the Carolina Readers, $175; Chapel Hill Draft Counseling, $135; Honor Court, $150; Residence Hall Association, $229, and the Legislative Branch of Student Government, $100. WCAR was denied its request for $55 for office supplies. Jones said the council does not feel that WCAR was of service to summer students since it did not operate during the summer. The total SG summer income is $12,290.40 of which $10,573 was allotted to campus organizations. A surplus of $1717.42 will be on reserve for possible later use. "We would like to run a small summer surplus," Jones said. "Unless an emergency arises during the summer, we should have a carryover surplus for next summer." An organization can request funds for operating expenses during the summer. Priority is given to those organizations which benefit the summer student. The Black Student Movement requested money for newsletters, mailings and bringing outside speakers to campus. An additional $150 was set aside for the BSM cultural committee to jointly sponsor a band program with the Carolina Union this summer. Major appropriations of the budget were passed by the council on June 5. At that meeting. $4,724 was given to the Student Government's summer operations. The Human Sexuality program was also given $1119 to publish and distribute two pamphlets to students this summer on birth control and venereal disease. ive ma ion dollar sran by Rebecca Denny Staff Writer A $1,000,000 endowment fund grant to the Chemistry Department has been made by the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust, Chancellor Ferebee Taylor announced this week. "This splendid award will enable us to insure a program of outstanding quality and we are most grateful for it," Taylor said. The award letter from the Trustees of the Charitable Trust stated: "We are pleased to provide this support for the University's Chemistry Department anticipating that it will be of material long term assistance toward developing and maintaining a facility of outstanding quality and achievement." Kenan, a student in the class of 1894 and later an instructor, had a close personal relationship with the Chemistry Department. His work with Dr. Venable on the discoveries of calcium carbide and acetylene led to the founding of the Union Carbide Company. In acknowledgement of Kenan's work with the Chemistry Department, the new laboratory complex was named in May the William Rand Kenan Jr. Laboratories of Chemistry. The Charitable Trust to the University was created from Kenan's estate when he died in 1965. An endowment for 25 William Rand Kenan Jr. professorships was also awarded in the same year with the request that the professors "work as close to the students as possible as Professor Venable did with William Kenan." The Kenan family has been involved with the University for many years. Eight family members have given money, five have served as trustees and eight attended the University as students. Kenan and his three sisters have all been benefactors. The most recent generation of Kenans to donate money began their endowments in 1917. Mrs. Mary Lily UNC gets two large cash gifts Congressman L.H. Fountain's office announced two HEW research and training grants to be given for health programs on the UNC campus. The grants were approved Wednesday morning. The Family Nursing Practitioner Program is a health services grant for $166,271 to the Mental Health Service at UNC. Dr. Lucy Conant, Dean and Professor of Nursing, has been named principal investigator. Dr. Robert B. Mahaffey, Associate Professor in the Institute of Speech and Hearing Science, will direct the National Institute of Health (NIH) Training Grant. This program will sponsor 25 trainees and will concentrate in the comprehensive treatment of voice disorders. The NIH grant is worth $3,075. Kenan (Flagler) Bingham requested the Kenan professorships in her will. She was the first of the three sisters to donate money to the University in line with a family tradition. During the depression Mrs. Jessie Kenan Wise, a second sister, gave funds for an "Emergency Student Loan." Students were able to continue their education with support from the $25,000 grant. Sarah Graham Kenan, Kenan's third sister, established four professorships, two in law and two in medicine. She also endowed the Southern Historical Collection and the Graham-Kenan Fellowship in philosophy. Best known of Kenan's endowments is Kenan Stadium, completed in 1927. Subsequent additions to the stadium have also been made with Kenan money. W.R. Kenan, Jr. ,v , . , 1 . , . ii 1 1 i . V it f I - I Elevator to the sky Is life getting too complicated?

(Staff photo by George Brown) Summer student fees administration investi gated by Amy O'Neal Staff Writer The traditional method of allocating summer student fees is coming under fire this summer, as the summer Campus Governing Council (CGC) makes a play for a 1 2-month budget and control of fees year round. Because of the number of summer students in the past who were either teachers returning to renew certificates or students from other schools merely summering in Chapel Hill, a concerted effort has been made by the administration to use fees collected from summer students only for activities and service's benefiting the summer student. "We have been doing research on the number of students who are engaged in year-round programs in graduate school or who want to earn a degree in three years' to avoid four years of out-of-state tuition," Dick Baker, chairman of the Graduate and Professional Student Federation (GPSF), said, "If a large enough portion of the summer student body proves to be regular students at Carolina during the winter, and if the administration will agree, I see no reason why Student Government should not incorporate summer and winter fees," Baker said. For the past 20 years, a summer session planning council has apportioned student fees. Associate Dean of Student Affairs James O. Cansler heads the .council and a representative from each organization that receives money is a member. Present council members are Ann Queen for YM-YWCA, Dean Frederick Schroeder for the Department of Student Life, Ford Runge for Student Government, Dick Baker for GPSF, Archie Copeland for the Union and William S. Newman for the Music Department. "We are not trying to hang on to the control of summer student fees because we want it," Cansler said. "We have controlled it because there has been no other organization in past years to perform the service. "I have no reservations about turning the fees over to the students. I do think that a complete study of the makeup of the summer student body should be made before such a move is made," j Cansler said. ' "Student Body President Richard Epps was on campus last summer and Ford Runge is here this year. It has not been tradition for the president to stay on campus, though, and we need some indication that this will continue so that a viable force will be controlling funds if the turnover is made," Cansler said. In response to student government demands and a Tar Heel editorial of June 14, Chancellor Ferebee Taylor appointed an ad hoc committee to study the situation and make recommendations, consisting of Runge, Baker, Dean of Student Affairs Donald Boulton and Assistant to the Chancellor Claiborne Jones. "CGC handles the winter budget and it should handle the summer budget too," Student Body Treasurer Steve Jones said. This summer the Union is receiving 43 per cent of student fees; Student Government, 27 per cent; YM-YWCA, 15 per cent; GPSF, 6 per cent; Music Department, 5 per cent and Student Life Department, 4 per cent The . amount of money the Union receives is dictated, by a Trustee-approved student body allocation that a certain amount per student per session or semester shall be paid to the Union. "Any organization that is program oriented to serve the students is eligible to receive funds," Cansler said. "Last year the UNC Band applied for funds to give summer band concerts. The funds were allocated but the Band never had occasion to use the funds so no application was made this year and therefore no allocation. The Summer Session Planning Council has been a relatively informal organization meeting twice a .year to determine by a vote of the group how the money will be portioned. If one organization needs more money, a meeting is held to see if another organization is overstocked. Occasionally we meet to comment on the appropriateness of the spending," Cansler said. "Our main point for student government control is that the student constitution as amended on November 17, i972, states that CGC will apportion all revenues derived from student, activity fees," Baker said. . "The Music Department should not receive student fees because last year $875 of the money was given to UNC faculty for concerts and $200 each was paid from the fund to the two students who directed the summer choir. Faculty and graduate students should not be paid twice for such services," Baker said. According to Steve Jones, Student Life Department money is used for faculty-siudent receptions or picnics in the summer. Cansler explained that residence halls may also request money for socials. According to Baker's figures, the Union spent $20,000 last summer on 47 movies, folk rock and chamber music concerts, piano tuning, three joint Playmaker-Union dramatic productions, watermelon parties and other activities. Last summer the YM-YWCA spent $2,300 of its $6,000 appropriation on salaries; $1,300 on speakers; $525 on foreign student dinners, according to Baker. Outlining Student Government expenditures, Baker said Suite C used $4,200 for its maintenance and duty performance, allotted $1,975 to The Tar Heel and gave varying amounts to the Association of Women Students, the attorney general, Black Student Movement, Honor Court and fine arts.
