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.

about an awareness of women's problems and questions
which have been constantly ignored in the University
community." . -
Steinem. founding editor of Ms. magazine, will speak at 8
p.m. Feb. 7 in Memorial Hall.
A political activist and journalist, Steinem has written for
Esquire, Harper's, Life and Vogue. She helped found the
National Women's Political Caucus, which aims to involve
women in American politics.

Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and George
McGovern's presidential campaign.

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.

make it for them.
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

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.

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.

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."
