'"Li ' l ( v t II, li V I YV ! ! ! ! Vc!. C2, flo. C3 This basset hound looks xplains women's seal by Gall Erenscn Stsff YYrttsr . v...- . Fighting discrimination is now individual responsibility, Eliza Pascal, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) official, said in a campus lecture Tuesday. Pascal, a technical assistant and information expert for EEOC in Washington, D.C., spoke about women's rights under the law concerning discrimination in employment as a feature of the Women's Festival. "In the legal aspect, we have won the battle," Pascal said. "It has been against federal law to discriminate against women since the Civil Rights Amendment of 1965 it's not in there as a joke." Recently named "Feminist of the Year" in Atlanta, Pascal said the only way to eliminate discrimination is for women to sue or file complaints with EEOC against employers who have dealt with them in a prejudiced manner. She said many women are afraid they will lose their jobs when their employers find out they have filed a complaint with EEOC, but they are protected under the law against possible retaliation. To file a complaint, a person should send a notarized statement to the EEOC branch in Charlotte she said. Pascal said the complaint should be made within 90 days am-rotoeM inters n o A o Cole Campbell, a three-year varsity debater, became yesterday the fourth candidate to enter the race for The Daily Tar Heel editorship. "I think The Daily Tar Heel is in a rut," he said, "and a change of leadership is the only thing to get it out." "I'd like to see The Tar Heel become a good paper," he continued. Referring to editorials, Campbell said, "We must have critical comment. Editorials must be analytical and have a point. Staff photo by Ctn U'rann Colo Campbell 3 SUM photo by Bill Wrenn like its LI on day morning rights urges counted Editorial comment should be drawn from inter-disciplinary fields." Campbell cited' the abuse of the new journalism and said, "A better distinction should be made between objectivity and subjectivity. New journalism should be the subjective treatment of objective fact." Maintenance of high standards of journalism is also of top priority. Campbell said. Continued misspelling and inaccurate reporting are "clear examples of having the same leadership all the time," he said. Campbell also suggested utilizing investigative reporting. Td assign a reporter to probe such issues as equal opportunity in North Carolina," he said. Another platform issue is specialization of reporting. "A reporter should be assigned according to his ability to cover the area," he said. Campbell said he would also "insure coverage of activities slighted in the past such as minor sports on campus and legislative actions in Raleigh that deal with UNC." The junior English major said, "I think my non-alignment with The Tar Heel is especially qualifying." "In the past, there's been too much concern with the editor's technical ability rather than his awareness of current issues." . For the past three summers, Campbell. 20. has .worked for Information Research Associates of Chapel Hill, a publishing company, and served on its editorial board for the past two summers. b 5 yfflr5 Qf Editorial Freedom Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Wednesday, February 6, 1374 3JHC sovoffniCDffs ti ae'i TI TT i by Janet Langston Staff Writer UNCs revised plan for desegregation will be presented at a special briefing of the Board of Governors Thursday night, and is expected to be approved by the board in its meeting Friday.

(Staff photo by Di.'l Wrenn) o TN 7TTT0 TTN TT? TTi i TI that a draft will be available at the meeting Thursday. The University's desegregation plan is being rewritten to meet specifications handed down by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). North Carolina's first submission was rejected along with nine other state plans, in November 1973. HEW Civil Rights Director Peter Holmes sent a letter Nov. 10 to Gov. James and Alderman Sid Rancer stressed the need for official privacy to avoid prejudicing pending court cases. The practice of purchasing illegal drugs by police undercover agents for court cases has generated criticism by Cohen on grounds of bookkeeping inaccuracies and misplaced priorities. Although Blake has assured critics that the primary direction of the evidence fund is against illegal hard drugs. Cohen has expressed the feeling that the majority of court cases based on collected evidence has dealt with marijuana. "Although last night's presentation satisfied me with regard to the budget procedures, 1 still have reservations on the policy upon which the fund is based," Cohen said. "I really don't think it changed my opinion too much." Cohen expects the proposed budget increase of $2,500 for the fund to be considered by the board at its Feb. 1 1 meeting. Protracted debate on the issue of street vending failed to materialize as most of the discussion centered around the procedure by which the issue could be revitalized and reviewed by the board. Cohen, a proponent of street vending, had requested consideration of the issue by the board after the Central Business District (CBD) study committee failed to meet during the past several months and consider street vending. Cohen's motion to refer the vending issue to the Planning Board for study and discussion was introduced early in the meeting and replaced by a motion by Alderman Alice Welsh who suggested the CBD committee meet and consider vending as part of its long-range planning program. "Street vending has been an unresolved problem for the past three years." Welsh said. "I believe it should be resolved within the CBD group, and that it should report its action back to the board well before budget time." "1 don't want to see another generation come and go before this issue is settled," " 4 V yl En All T"T VftJ 'ijjgjJP I Holshouser ordering the state to prepare a specific and detailed plan in 90 days to desegregate higher education in North Carolina. 1 Sanders said that a lf-member drafting committee was formed upon a suggestion from Holmes. The group is to co-ordinate planning efforts by community colleges and the Board of Governors, in revising the plan. The two plans are being written to complement each other and will be compiled Cohen said. "It shouldn't be put off just because it is controversial." The vote on Welsh's substitute motion resulted in a tie, with Aldermen Gardner. Rancer and Welsh voting affirmatively and Aldermen Smith, Marshall, and Cohen dissenting. Mayor Howard N. Lee broke the tie with a negative vote. Welsh later amended her motion to include a two-week time limit for a formal report by the CBD committee, and the revised motion passed by a margin of 5-1. A summary report by Town Manager Chet Kendzior on tenants' complaints about the management of Bolinwood Apartments drew criticism from Rancer. The complaints, received by city employes by letter and telephone, centered around allegations that the Chapel Hill complex is both unsightly and in a poor state of repair. "As far as 1 can see. nothing has been done." Rancer said. The town ol Chapel Hill has no formal jurisdiction, but I would suggest that tenants with complaints contact area health department officials or the Consumer Protection Division of the State Attorney General's office in Raleigh. "If we don't begin. to tighten these areas up. in ten years the town of Chapel Hill is going to be a slum city." he said. In other actions the board: Received a report from Kendzior on the first public meeting between local gas station operators and town and police department officials. Board members debated the pros and cons of restricted gasoline rationing but took no official action pending further study and investigation by the town: Adopted a resolution joining the 20X planningarea as permitted under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act amendments of 1972. Adoption provides for co-ope ration between Chapel Hill and Durham in efforts to combat rcgional.vvater pollution: Head Director of Urban Development Kurt Jenne discussed statewide sedimentation control efforts and recommended drafting of a local ordinance governing runoff. TO ysiirs 'nonmi ft O lioir pFesnoiemiiL posit Napoleon Bonaparte Byars. a sophomore journalism major, announced Tuesday he will be a candidate for student body president in the up-coming campus elections. The black Charlotte native characterized himself as "just an average student" who wants to inject naivete and sincerity into Student Government. 1 hope to appeal mostly just to the average student," Byars said. "And I think there are a lot of them out there. If not, I'm a minority candidate in more ways than one." Although Byars said he is not the Blue Sky Party candidate, he said he would welcome its support. "I'd be glad to have the Blue Sky Party members, he said. In fact. I'd be glad to have anybody, at this point." Byars does not consider his lack of involvement in campus Student Government a liability. "To say that you haven't got qualifications because you haven't participated in something like Student Government eliminates almost everybody from running." Byars said. Campus government has become too involved in itself. It is removed from the students and needs to spread out some." he said. Byars said his main areas of interest as president would be the areas "where students get ripped." He listed housing, parking, food service imd out-of-state tuition as the familiar issues that need attention. Bvars also expressed concern about ism:o allecting slinlculs. Midi .t- the v;ns'o" 1 ! i! ! - : v . Founded February 23, 1EC3 into one to submit to HI W. l.'NC's filing date is Feb. X. although some information will be sent in later. Sanders said. A "minimum ot consultation" went into the revision. Sanders said. He said the time allotted to develop a new plan did not allow more than limited advice and participation from others. The plan calls for any shilts in racial percentages of campu enrollments to be voluntary. Sanders said. HEW suggested in its letter that a 30 per cent white population be represented at predominate black institutions, and that significant numbers of blacks be enrolled at each predominantly white campus. "We've got to entice people we can't push them" to attend certain universities. Sanders said. He said the plan proposes steps to achieve this racial balance. HEW is operating under a court order revising from Title VI ol the Civ il Rights Act of 1964 to desegregate all state institutions ot higher learning. It is to submit ten desegregation plans by April X to federal District Court Judge John Pratt in Washington. If HEW rejects a state's plan, the court will grant an additional 1X0 davs for the state to rework its plan. Sanders said. It'thc state still can not prepare an acceptable plan. Hl: will either initiate legal action to cut oil the state's federal funding or will refer the case to the U.S. Altornev General for court action. UNC receives nearly Sf) million in annual federal funding. II" it can not meet 1117 W standards and legal proceedings begin, however, the federal monev would not be stopped immediately. The plan is projected over about a four year period. Sanders said, and reflects the University's long range planninu polio. One study suggested in the new plan is to determine il admissions standards at N.C . universities are culturally biased, causing racial discrimination. Sanders added that financial aid to institutions was also discussed in the plan. The UNC Board ol Governors is legally responsible to see its halt ot the plan is acceptable. Sanders said. I he board should act on the plan hridav. N.C. community colleges submitted a program instead ot a plan the tirst time, believing they were a I read v in compliance with the Civi'l Rights ,et. While WAV did not reject that portion ot N.CYs plan, it ordered that community colleges co-t-perate with UNC in revising its plan. Weather TODAY: Clear and cold. The high is expected in the upper 50 s. The low is expected in the mid 20 s. The chance of precipitation is 10 per cent today. 30 per cent tonight. Outlook: Cloudy and a chance ot showers.
