Campus police began working under a
new shift arrangement involving an
"exchange program" Monday despite
opposition from several of the officers.
A petition posted in the officers'
lockerroom expressed concern that the
exchange program will lead to full rotation
of the policemen's shifts. The petition said,
"Because of the many upsetting changes in
daily work, morale is at a low level."
The petition was addressed to T.W.
Marvin, director of Security Services, and

Gas for stranded
OW1
by David Klinger
Staff Writer
Motorists who find themselves stranded in the Southern
Part of Heaven during weekends may soon be in for some
relief.
Under an agreement with local service stations, the town
of Chapel Hill will purchase 100 gallons of gas at market
prices from dealers on a rotation basis.
Motorists who run out of gas during hours when stations
are closed may contact the town fire department and
purchase a limited amount. Plans call for the program to be
underway within the next two weeks.
Officials of the Chapel Hill Police Department are
currently taking steps to assure that the one traffic accident
reported amid long lines of gas-starved motorists last month
does not become the pattern for February.
"We're not going to get involved with how service stations
sell their gas or the times that they are open. Our
responsibility is to keep the streets open," said Lt. Arnold
Gold
Police are requesting that motorists make only right turns
into and out of service stations and avoid cutting across the
direct line of traffic. Restrictions prohibiting the blockage of
driveways, fire hydrants, loading zones and traffic
intersections are being strictly enforced by police.
"We are allowing people to park in the right hand lanes
just as long as there is another lane left open for the free flow

signatures Monday afternoon.
Marvin said he has seen the posted
petition, but it has not yet been presented to
him.
The policemen's grievances concern
changes in the work shift arrangement.
Under the fixed shift, which was used until
Monday, new officers worked the night shift
until there was an opening on the afternoon
shift. Officers with the most seniority
worked the day shift.
Under the new exchange program, every
two weeks an officer serves on each of the
two shifts he does not normally work.

North Carolina is not ready for room-by-room

Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor told a group

Most campus policemen met last week
with Marvin and Jack Gurmells, personnel
director, to discuss informally grievances.
Gunnells said Monday no formal grievance
has been made.
The petition in the officers' lockerroom
stated, "The answers given by Mr. Marvin
and Mr. Jack Gunnells and associates are
not to our liking, so we wish to pursue our
grievances a step further.
"The main grievance is the schedule
posted on the board (the exchange policy).
We feel that this is a wedge to full rotation."
Marvin said he told officers he did not
intend to use the exchange program "as a
backdoor" to a full rotation system. He said
the new shift arrangment will be evaluated in
June.
"1 cannot guarantee that the program will
remain as it is," he said, but added that no
changes will be made before June.
punnells said a meeting between campus
policemen and the University Staff
Grievance Committee can be arranged if the
personnel office is presented a statement
from the policemen specifying their
grievances.
Gunnells said the exchange program is a
strong compromise between the fixed shift
arrangement, which is favored by many of
the policemen and other arrangements
which Marvin considered.
Several officers . declined comment
yesterday, and referred to Officer Eunice
Sparrow as their informal spokesman.
Sparrow was not on duty yesterday and

of traffic," said Gold.
Gold and other members of the town police force met with
22 local service station owners last Friday in an attempt to
ease traffic problems around gas stations and set up some
guidelines for orderly dispensing of gas.
A second meeting to finalize their recommendations will
be held tonight at 7 p.m. in the upstairs courtroom of the
police department building.
It was revealed in last week's meeting that several station
operators have plans to start their own systems of voluntary
gas rationing. Walker's Gulf on East Franklin Street will
issue its regular customers special stickers to allow them first
access to gasoline.
Both Brinkley's Gulf at Eastgate Shopping Center and the
West Franklin Street Phillips 66 plan a system based on the
voluntary program used in Oregon and Hawaii. Drivers with
license plates having an odd number as the last digit will be
served on odd-numbered days of the month while those
having an even number appearing as the last digit on the
license plate will be served on eyen-numbered days.
Although tonight's meeting will be open to the public.
Gold stressed the meeting will attempt to establish some
definite procedures for police and station operators to follow
rather than receive public debate and comment.
Gold reported that the long lines at gas pumps
experienced during January should ease as stations begin to
receive their February allotments.

Taylor met with residents to discuss Dean
of Student Affairs Donald A. Boulton's
recent decision to discontinue room-by-room
coed living on second floor Winston.
Boulton also was at the meeting to clarify
and correct a statement that appeared in last
Thursday's Charlotte Observer.
According to the statement, Boulton said
the living arrangement on second floor
Winston had spawned sexual activity:
"Certainly it has occurred. It's a basic drive
and it will be satisfied."
Boulton denied the use of the phrase
"spawned sexual activity" and said he not
Graduate Center.
"This petition is just a continuance of the
running battle in Craige between
undergraduates and graduates," said Lloyd
Scher, Craige's undergrad representative.
"The petition was very discriminatory. They
may as well have asked if you want Craige to
be all white or all black.
"Until the University makes a decision
whether to be a dorm or a graduate center
these problems are going to keep coming
up," Scher said.
John Sawyer, president of Craige and a
graduate student in public health, said he
understood many of the undergrads were
upset about the age distinction implied in the
petition, but that it was a difficult subject to
argue without offending anyone. He
circulated a petition last week asking
residents if they wanted Craige to be
exclusively for graduate students.
"Most of the undergraduates are just as
mature as the graduates here, but we have
quite a few graduates who are pushing 30,
and loud noise and racket bother you a lot
more at that age," Sawyer said. "I am sure
most of the undergrads wouldn't want to live
in an old folks home either."
Sawyer said they had no intention of

He said he received two calls from the
Charlotte Observer. He said the reporter
making the second call said he thought there
was something more to the second floor
story than what Boulton had told him
earlier. The reporter then asked Boulton
about sexual activity spawned on second

Boulton said he replied "That's ridiculous.

"It's the University's fault for letting this
squabble go on for so long," Scher said.
"The undergrads get blamed for
everything that goes wrong in the dorm."
"We have no place to go for help and no

Boulton then made the comment,
"Certainly it has occurred. It's a basic drive
and it will be satisfied."
Boulton said he was upset that the
comment had been printed out of context.
He said he would contact The Charlotte
Observer today about printing a retraction.
Taylor said he believed a continuation of
the room-by-room situation could greatly
risk the concepts of coed living and visitation
on this campus.
He said N.C. citizens supporting the
University with their tax dollars might
consider the living arrangement on second
floor Winston improper.
To affirmatively approve this
arrangement would subject this institution
and all of its students to a risk," Taylor said.
He said he believed the legislature might
adopt legislation to cut substantially into
UNCs present concepts of coed living and
visitation.
Taylor said he did not enjoy saying no to
what a group of students wanted. He said
although UNC was considered liberal
according to N.C. standards, he still believed
second floor Winston set up a style of life out
of line with the public's view.
"We shouldn't separate ourselves from the
love, support and affection of the people of
this state," Taylor said.
He said there was no way a census of the
state could be taken on the question of room-by-room
living. "One just has feelings and
opinions," he said.
Residence Hall Association (RHA)
president Janet Stephens said Taylor's
remarks were no justification for Boulton's
decision. She referred to a recent RHA
survey taken of on-campus residents.
The survey showed 20 per cent of the
students preferring a room-by-room coed
living arrangement and 23 per cent wanting
suite-by-suite coed living, Stephens said.

Fitzpatrick and Murray said they would

Pub Board member Rod Waldorf

"What concerns me," Waldorf said, "is not
the lack of qualified people to apply, but the
apparent lack of interest in the Yack.

interest on a par with previous years, but
only one person each applied to the Pub

positions on the staff.
"We've been lucky this year." he said.
