Cavin resigns, seeks
Tar Heel editorship
The Daily Tar Heel, managing editor
Winston Cavin resigned Sunday and
announced' his candidacy for the post, of
editor in the upcoming campus elections.
Cavin. 20. is a junior in the School of
Journalism and a native of Durham. His two
years of experience on the DTH staff have
included positions as staff writer, sports
editor and columnist. Cavin has also worked
as managing editor of the summer Tar Heel
and as a staff member of the Durham
Morning Herald.
"Basically I'm running as a 'nuts-and-bolts'
candidate. I've done just about
everything there is to do at the DTH and I
understand how the paper operates." Cavin
said.
"I don't see how anybody who hasn't had a
lot of DTH experience can run the paper. As
a writer. I learned the mechanics of writing
and the procedures and problems of
reporting. As a sports editor. 1 learned how
to do layout, headlines and copy editing, as
well as how to handle a staff," he added.
Financial independence for the DTH was
cited by Cavin as an important part of his
campaign and a goal he would work towards
as editor. "We've made great strides toward
that goal this year and 1 will continue to
work for independence. I would like to see
the paper become completely free of student
fees." Cavin said.
Although he proposes no drastic changes
in the content or format of the DTH. Cavin
stressed the need for an improvement in the
editorial page. "Too many columns have
been trivial. There is a place for funny

columns, but I think we need more serious
comment and analysis." Cavin said.
Cavin also stressed the need for additional
news features and interpretative articles on
state and local affairs that would serve to
provide background information to readers
on controversial subjects.
"Our biggest single problem during the
past year has been the distribution system.
I'm going to lean on the people who print
and distribute the DTH and get this situation
straightened out," Cavin said.

A request for funds by the UNC Board of
Governors to evaluate medical education
programs was axed by the General
Assembly's joint appropriations
subcommittee Friday in Raleigh.
The $244,790 item for evaluating and
monitoring the Area Health Education
program was first included in the UNC
Board of Governors budget requests and was
later transferred by the Advisory Budget
Commission to the State Planning program
of the Administration Department, where it
was cut.
Assistant to Hunt
UNC President William C. Friday said he
had already requested reinstatement of the
funds, incorporated into the Board's $12
million supplemental budget request.
Hearings on the University's budget will
probably be held week after next. Friday
said.
Rep. Carl J. Stewart Jr., (D-Gaston). a
member of the commission, said the
commtsssion believed the money would be
used more objectively by the planning office
than the University administration.
Other commission members objected,
however, and the amount was deleted
entirely from the Planning budget.
In a report accompanying the UNC
budget, the Board said money should be
reserved for a "continuing census of medical
manpower" and to "monitor the
effectiveness" of the state's medical
education program, which would include the
proposed Area Health Education Center
(AH EC) program.
The recommendation was termed a vital
component by the Board in its efforts to
improve medical education in North
Carolina. It added that monitoring the
programs would enable the state to plan
ahead to modify or expand its medical
education programs in the future.

Marquis D. Street, a black Greensboro
attorney, has been named to assist UNC's
vice chancellor for Administration and
Affirmative Action Officer Douglass Hunt.
Street graduated from North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State University
and the University of Iowa Law School. He
has practiced general law in Greensboro
since 1972.
Before practicing law, Street was special
assistant to the president and an assistant
professor of political science at North
Carolina A&T.
Hunt said Street would provide badly
needed help in the office. The nature of the
job requires that Hunt's assistants be
lawyers, Hunt said.
The vice-chancellor's office supervises the
University's Affirmative Action plan, the
personnel director, registrar, records and
registration, student financial aid,
undergraduate admissions and the
University Gazette.
Susan E. McDonald who formerly
practiced law in Raleigh, was named to assist
Hunt in August. She has since worked
closely to draft the second revision of UNCs
Affirmative Action plan.
- Hunt said his assistants would not be
limited in their duties within the office, so
they would be able to move into any area
supervised by him.
Any matter with a legal aspect must be
reviewed initially by Hunt or his assistants to
determine if it should be referred to the
University's lawyers, the Attorney General's
staff, for consideration.
Street has already become involved with
residency status, said Hunt. Hunt heads the
University's Residence Status Committee set
up to inform, receive petitions and decide if
students should be classified in-state for
tuition purposes.
Street was appointed January 14, but only
recently began working full time, said Hunt,
as he had to clear up previous commitments
from his law practice.
to delete the entire $244,790 saying that the
medical education issue had been studied
enough. He added that the State Planning
Office is the "least expert" group that he
knew in medical education.
In other developments, two doctors from
the American Association of Medical
Colleges (AAMC) met Thursday night in a
closed-door session with legislators.
University officials and medical
representatives to discuss the ECU
accreditation issue.
The two sides again did not work out a
formal compromise, but President Friday
said h believes "there is a better
understanding of the issue involved in
accreditation now, as a result of the
meetings.
Stewart said the only issues separating the
two sides are now"dates, number of students
and how you can commit funds to a
proposed medical school without affecting
the integrity of the Board of Governors."
The AAMC will review UNCs progress
report on strengthening the current one-year
medical program at ECU, and will deliver its
findings in early April. UNC Board
chairman William A. Dees Jr. said the Board
was waiting for the report before committing
itself to ECU expansion.
If no compromise is reached. Stewart said,
the Joint Appropriations Committee will
begin hearings Feb. 12 to direct immediate
ECU expansion.
The Board of Governors is expected to
discuss the health education issue in its Feb.
8 meeting, but Dees and Friday knew of no
specific proposals which would come before
the board.

A decision that could make Granville

the discussion stages. Housing Director
James D. Condie said last week.

included in the sale of the University Square
complex to Frank Kenan of Durham in late
Last ter:
for Coleman
State Senator A. B. (Lonnie) Coleman Jr.
announced Saturday he will not seek re
election after his first term in office.
Coleman, a Hillsborough attorney, cited
the increasing demands of legislative service
and his responsibility to his family and law
practice as reasons for his decision.
"Legislative service is not only demanding
but, from what I have seen, it also has a
callousing effect," Coleman said.
"After a time in public office, many tend to
lose any real sense of purpose. The primary
measure of success becomes a matter of
being re-elected. Frankly, I didn't want that
to happen to me." i
"I do not consider my decision as a full
retirement from public life." he continued. "I
think being a good lawyer is just as much a
public trust as being a member of the
General Assembly."
Coleman is vice chairman of the Senate
Committee on Higher Education, and a
member of the Natural and Economic
Resources. State Policies, Judiciary II,
Transportation, Constitution. Finance.

December.
Kenan made the purchase from Allen and
O'Hara, Inc., original builders of Granville
Towers in the mid 60's.
In the original agreement between the firm
and UNC, the University was given the right
to approve resident assistants for the
residence hall complex. This right enabled
Granville to qualify ason-campus residency,
thus allowing freshmen students to live
there.
Condie says the Granville Towers
management, still under the Allen and
O'Hara firm, has asked for the authority to
select, train, supervise and dismiss resident
assistants.
He said the Housing Department, the
Office of Student Affairs, Chancellor N.
Ferebee Taylor, the Granville management
and Allen and O'Hara, Inc. are now
discussing the request.
A decision giving the Granville
management the authority to select its own
staff would give the residence hall off
campus classification. Condie said.
Under University Housing regulations,
freshmen could not reside in Granville
Towers, Condie said.
He said approximately 500 freshmen now
live in Granville. Condie said he did not
believe closing Granville to freshmen would
cause overcrowding in the other on-campus
residence halls.
Weather
TODAY: Clear and cool. Th9 high is
expected in the mid 40's. The low is
expected In the mid SO's. The chance
of precipitation Is 10 por cent.

Turosak, Cooper try
for D TH co-editors
Jim Cooper and Greg Turosak announced
their candidacy as co-editors of Vie Daily
Tar Heel Sunday. The two juniors call their
candidacy "a coalition to make the Tar Heel
worth reading."
The two said they would base their
campaign on four major points:
"A good influx of new blood on the
staff" to utilize the talents and contributions
of more people.
"Better and more varied style and
imagination in writing." They said they want
not just to preserve the status quo, but to
strive for imagination, creativity and
excellent first-class journalism.
Better management and interaction with
staff members, which Cooper said could be
achieved with two people better than with
one.
"Revitalization of the editorial page,"
which they tie in with the other points. They
said they would like to see a greater number
of sources for editorial columns, so more
discretion could be used in choosing quality
editorials. There are a lot of people who are
able and willing to write columns. Cooper
said. "Now. virtually anyone who does a
column can get it printed," Cooper said,
citing too few quality sources submitting
articles as the reason.
Cooper, who submits a regular column to
the Tar Heel, said he started out "by
volunteering my services."
He and Turosak were especially critical of
the editor's daily column. "It's been so
consistently bad in the past that no one reads
it anymore," Cooper said.
Turosak, who is in his third year as a staff
writer for the Tar Heel, said he. is "familiar
with the ropes of the paper" and Cooper,
would make a good combination for the
editorship.
They said the position has been held by
two people in the past, and that the last time
was ten years ago.
Turosak is a 20-year-old journalism major
from Falls Church, Va. .
Cooper is a 20-year-old history-econmics
major from Shelbyville, Tenn. He is fiction
editor of The Cellar Door.

University administrators and student leaders
who met with representatives of the U.S.
Department of Health, Education and Welfare
(HEW) Jan. 21 and 22, presented a cross-section
of viewpoints on the desegregation progress at
UNC-Chapel Hill.
Willie Mebane, chairman of the Black Student
Movement (BSM) and leading speaker in the
Croup of six students who met with HEW
officials, said the administration "painted a
positive picture" of UNCs progress in
desegregation. He and other student
representatives however, gave an "opposite
story," he added, indicating their dissatisfaction
with the administration's progress.
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor, however, said
he did not sense any bias by any administrators
and faculty members who met . with HEW
officials Monday and Tuesday of last week.
Assistant Vice Chancellor John Temple said
HEW officials conducted the meetings for
information purposes, to give them a feel for' the
system so they' could evaluate the University's
desegregation plan. The plan is scheduled to be
submitted this month to comply. with an HEW
order to desegregate the UNC system.
Temple . said administration officials simply
answered HEW's questions, and were not trying
to influence HEW one way or another.
The student group, Mebane said, suggested
ways in which the University could improve the
desegregation process, especially in recruiting
and retaining black students.
The student group said it emphasized black
programs, black - counseling, black faculty
representation and black emphasis during
freshman orientation. Mebane said he saw the
need for improvement in all areas.
Bill Snodgrass, graduate school member of
CGC and past president of the Graduate and
Professional School Federation, said the student
group presented an alternative viewpoint
describing what's going on.
"It's not so much, that we were anti
administration," Snodgrass said. "We just
wanted to give an alternate interpretation."
Snodgrass said HEW officials indicated they
are searching ways for the University to
voluntarily comply with federal desegregation
requests. HEW can "give us examples of ways to
speed up the process or they can give us a quota
system" to desegregate the University system,
Snodgrass said.-
"I'm afraid," Snodgrass said, "that unless this
University speeds up, it's going to have to take
that road," referring to a type of quota plan.
When that happens, he added, "you start
discriminating in reverse."
. Mebane and Snodgrass agreed that HEW's
proposed plans are more radical than what the
student group indicated they want. Mebane
commented, "What we, the BSM, are
demanding is nothing compared to what HEW
wants."
Mebane said, "The administration's attitude
toward desegregation is questionable."
Student Body President Ford Runge, another
member of the student group, said the
administration "cares about reducing hassles to
reduce flack from enemies of Chapel Hill "
Runge said he told the HEW officials that the
administration feels it is caught in a dilemma on
the, issue of desegregation. If the University acts
too slowly, he said, HEW will disapprove, and if
the administration acts too swiftly, state
legislators, with their control over University
appropriations, will disapprove.
