(Staff photo by Bill Wrenn) by Laura Yandell Staff Vriter The decision to end room-by-room coed living on second floor Winston came as a result of impending political pressure as well as other factors, Dean of Student Affairs Donald A. Boulton told second floor residents at a meeting Tuesday night. Boulton's decision to end the Winston arrangement was released to the public on Wednesday, Jan. 23 at which time he emphasized it was his decision, and his alone. At the meeting, however, Boulton termed the decision as a University decision, and not just me." He said last Wednesday that his decision was based on two factors. He said the facilities in Winston were inadequate for such an arrangement and that the second floor situation had the potential to breed adverse publicity. Tuesday night Boulton indicated that the power of the N.C. state legislature was a consideration in his decision. He said he had speculated that members of the legislature might look at the present living arrangement on second floor Winston in a bad light and reflect their feelings by cutting the University budget. Boulton said that over the last four weeks he had seen signs appearing that convinced him UNC should make the decision to end the Winston arragement rather than let the legislature or some other outside group Nixon emphasizes domestic concerns United Press International WASHINGTON President Nixon sought to regain the initiative from Watergate Wednesday with a State of the Union message appealing for action on other pressing domestic concerns, from the energy crisis to health care. nvgnl by Gail Cronson Staff Writer sttairtts Mound ay Feminists Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, Viveca Lindfors, and Warren Farrell are among the guest speakers scheduled for the Women's Festival, Feb. 4 through 15.

Please turn to page two In advance of a nationally broadcast speech before a joint session of Congress at 9 p.m. EDT, the President summoned Vice President Gerald R. Ford and Republican congressional leaders to the White House for a briefing on his major 1974 legislative proposals. A White House spokesman told reporters Nixon had no intentioin of dropping a surprise resignation announcement during the half-hour address, to be accompanied by a 20,000-to-25,000-word written message for Congress. The cornerstone of his speech, which his aides regarded as a crucial effort to put his Watergate troubles behind him, is a comprehensive, $40 billion-a-ycar plan for national health insurance. Drafted by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the plan relies primarily on the private health insurance industry, through employer-worker payroll contributions, to assure that no family would have to pay more than S 1 ,500 a year in medical expenses. Other proposals included: Spending of $ 1 6 billion over the next six years on improved mass transit, including $1.1 billion in fiscal 1976 from the highway trust fund for capital improvements in urban bus and rail systems. A record-busting $300 billion federal budget for the fiscal year starting July I, including about $92 billion for defense. Nixon will send his detailed budget proposals to Congress on Monday. Sweeping authority for energy-saving measures, including possible gasoline rationing and a different approach to the windfall profits tax that has derailed emergency energy legislation in the Senate. An 8 per cent increase in educational aid for Vietnam veterans under the Gl Bill of Rights, and streamlining .of about 30 Johnson administration school aid programs along with advance financing of schools in the spring to allow budgetary planning for the next school year.

He said one of the signs was a call from an Associated Press reporter who wanted to do a story on second floor Winston and the massage parlor non-credit course taught within Henderson Residence College. Also, he said nine women and three men have withdrawn from the University recently. Boulton said some of the parents of a few of these students had implied to him they would be telling their legislators about coed living situations at UNC From these signs and from his past experience, Boulton said he felt it was important for him to make the decision before someone else did. Residents objected to the fact that they were losing their rights because of Boulton's 8 r Another day comes to an end in Polk Place. (Staff photo by Bill Wrenn) feelings and speculations on what the legislature might do. They accused him of reacting to non existent pressure and alienating the students. They asked Boulton why he wanted to suppress publicity about second floor Winston when the experiment had been successful in their qpinion and in his. Boulton had said earlier he personally had never been against the experiment and it was a good experience. Residents asked Boulton why he couldn't be on the offensive by telling the legislators about the successful aspects of the second floor. He said the logic of politics didn't understand success and failure on a project many would consider improper. A student suggested that residents go to the legislators personally and tell them of second floor Winston's success. Boulton was asked three different times in the session why he could not rescind his decision and support them. At one point he said he was gathering reactions and would take the request into consideration. He indicated, however, he could not change his mind. Students then asked if Boulton could give them any guarantee that coed living on the UNC campus would not be wiped out completely. Boulton said he could give no guarantees. The residents asked Boulton if he knew of any plan of action that could save second floor Winston's room-by-room coed living. Boulton said he didn't have one. He suggested, however, that data and facts on the success of second floor might be gathered. Students responded that they were "living proof of second floor's success and further speculation was unnecessary. Seth Effron, resident assistant on the second floor, said Wednesday Boulton's decision was a "tragic mistake." "By yielding to state pressure, Boulton and the Univeristy are allowing the government to determine educational policy for educators," Effron said. He said in a free society it should be the educators who determine educational policy. He said if the University was to be a place of quality education it "should not be bullied" by politicians who are not educators into making decisions like the one to discontinue the living situation on second floor.

Tl O J a H oMeF Funinis iioir presndenM Q 9 "Day m eiMF Murray Fogler, a junior political science major, said Wednesday he is entering the race for student body president. Noting the importance of a sense of community among students. Fogler promised to make the presidency a visible position that would include student input. "For this purpose, I will establish a Daily Tar Heel column and a WCAR radio show through which students can express their views to me," Fogler said. Fogler outlined three student issues he plans to work on. using the power of the . presidency "to bypass the slow-moving Student Government bureaucracy." Fogler plans to set up a student-run food co-operative where students . can buy nonperishable groceries cheaply. "1 have the results of research that show exactly how to set up this co-op," Fogler said. "Furthermore, I have students who are ready to implement this when I am elected." He said an initial membership fee might bo charged, to avoid going through Campus Governing Council for funding. Fogler, a member of the Affirmative Action Advisory Committee, also promised to support the Student Academic Reform Committee by confronting the Faculty Council and the administration to gain approval of the four-course load system. A resident assistant in Morrison dorm, Fogler said he will actively support efforts of second floor residents of Winston dorm to regain room-by-room coed living. "It appears that nothing short of organized protest can convince the administration that their first obligation is to the students and not to political pressures from the State legislature." Fogler said. Fogler also promised to work for improvements in the University's parking policy, women's rights, and the expansion of the Student Consumer Action Union, if elected. . Fogler is assistant attorney general and a participant in the Toronto Exchange. He was formerly the head of the Orientation Commission. ;:. 4 mmm- -5 J f Staff photo by Tom Randolph Murray Fogler UNC journalism major Barnie Day has announced his candidacy for editor of The Daily Tar Heel. Day, a junior, said he is running because "I think a lot more can be done with the facilities and staff than is at present." The Roxboro native, who has worked two years for the DTH in advertising, gave a brief outline of his platform, which he intends to present during the campaign. "First," he said. "I would like to see more in-depth coverage of the news, especially with regard to university-student relationships and with the student as a consumer." "I think better use could be made of the space, particularly the first inside page. Also, the editorial page could be used more effectively." The editorial page, he explained, is supposed to drive home a point. He believed this could be approached more effectively. In addition he said. "I would like to see a weekly column devoted to fraternities, sororities, blacks, women and graduate students on an alternating basis." Day explained that blacks and women are not getting fair representation if they feel forced to start their own papers. Day also said that there is room for more comprehensive coverage of sports. He said that "intramural sports is slighted more than anything else. More people are involved with it than any other activity on campus." On the legal suit currently filed against the DTH Day said he could see both sides of the issue. But he pointed out that the newspaper depends on student funds and therefore he supports the newspaper's position. "Eventually, though," he added. "I hope the DTH can go independent." race -jr - : 5 iv. it ill 'X t il l X i : : f s i ? . : ; . ; i i I : t Staff phoio by Tom Randolph Barnie Day
