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.

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 'X: V' ' 'a 'J .... .

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. dime there isn't a $100,000 compensation a bit much? Jamie Leonard, who lives in 206 Stacy, didn't think so. Monday he went over to Bynum to get the $34.80 rebate for living in a triple. Leonard instead received a check for $100,034.80. Surprised at the University's generosity, Leonard nevertheless tried to cash the check at the Wachovia Bank. Ms. Wilhelm, the teller, was also astonished at the amount of the check. Quickly she decided to call the University Cashier's office, which for once hastily admitted its mistake.

Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor told a group of second floor Winston residents Monday afternoon. He informed residents, however, that the University Board of Trustees are scheduled to meet Friday if the residents want to discuss the matter of room-by-room coed living with them. Residents planned to meet Monday night to decide whether or not to go before the Craige- fate undecided by Bob Ripley Stall Writer Craige dorm's undergraduate representative said Monday the graduate residents are not ready for an all-grad dorm and told of plans to call on University officials to decide the fate of the Craige osfittSomi 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 was unavailable for comment. Tl o sum (Qiirnveirs 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. O O 0 board. 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."

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 floor. Boulton said he replied "That's ridiculous. Of course not." The reporter pushed the issue two or three more times, Boulton said, and asked finally if Boulton thought there was sexual activity ordering all the undergrads moved out by. next semester. "We would like to see graduates given first choice over incoming undergraduates, but those undergrads living in Craige now would naturally have the option to return next year," Sawyer said. "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 one to complain to," Scher said. "Craige dropped out of the Residence Hall Association and we don't have a representative on the Campus Governing Council. They give the dorm about $5 per resident or about $2,240 and we don't even know how it is used." Scher said the intermural program in Craige jv'as almost non-existent and most of -those wanting to participate in a sport have to go to Morrison or Granville. Comnnnmnttee Essays Yack applicants The only applicants for the two top positions on the 1974-75 Yackety Yack were accepted in a closed interview session by the executive committee of the Publication Board Monday. They will assume their positions if approved by the Pub Board main body Thursday.

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. is up for business manager. Fitzpatrick and Murray said they would strive for a better co-ordinated staff and increased appeal to graduate and professional school students in the 1975 Yack. Other changes depend on feedback from this year's yearbook, they said. Pub Board member Rod Waldorf expressed his confidence in the applicants, but said he regretted only one person applied for each position. "What concerns me," Waldorf said, "is not the lack of qualified people to apply, but the apparent lack of interest in the Yack. Subscription sales indicate a widespread interest on a par with previous years, but only one person each applied to the Pub Board .for the two pivotal and controlling positions on the staff. "We've been lucky this year." he said. "Both people who applied are very qualified. Next year, or the next, we might not be so luckv." 1- D O: Staff photo by BjN Wron tho end of January
