Two Chapel Hill restaurants were
damaged when a grease fire broke
out at 7 p.m. Monday night, and
spread through an exhaust duct to
an adjoining building.
The Peddler steakhouse and
Danwich restaurant, 151 E.
Rosemary, were damaged when an
employe dropped butter on the grill
in the Peddler.
Chapel Hill Fire Chief Everette
Lloyd said no one was injured and
the damage was not extensive.
"Most of the fire was in the roof of
the buildings. Other than that, there
was only some smoke and water
damage," he said.
Lloyd said the effect of the butter
spilt on the grill was like "gasoline
had been poured ..on fire."
Robin Talbert, who was eating in
the Danwich restaurant when the
fire broke out said, "We heard an
explosion, but we just kept on
eating. But then somebody yelled
there was a fire on the roof, so we
grabbed up our salamis on rye and
ran."

An expanded Affirmative Action plan for UNC has been
submitted to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and
Welfare, and copies are now available in two campus
libraries.
The plan outlines steps to promote and maintain equal
employment practices at UNC, with special emphasis on
female and black representation. The plan was returned in
September, 1973 by HEW, directing UNC officials to
expand the plan's scope and to correct certain deficiencies.
Taylor announced last week that copies of the plan would
be distributed as they became available. A spokesman from
Wilson Library said the library received its copies Monday.
Twenty copies of the new plan are in the Business
Administration Social Sciences wing of Wilson Library.
Twenty more copies will be in the Health Sciences Library,
Taylor said.
Supplementary materials sent to HEW may be studied in
Wilson Library, the Health Sciences Library or by
appointment in the office of the assistant to the affirmative
action officer in 307-A Bynum Hall.
Taylor refused several times to comment on the expanded
plan, saying that to explain the revisions would not do justice
to the 200-page plan.
Susan McDonald, assistant to Affirmative Action officer
Hunt and chairman of the working committee which re
wrote the document, said the plan could speak for itself.
Few major changes were made in the document, which
primarily provides updated minority employe projection
figures, and outlines steps to assure implementation of the

Lloyd Scher, a junior political science
major, announced his candidacy for student
body president Sunday.
Scher emphasized student safety as a
major issue in his campaign, noting a need
for better lighting ail over the campus. He
suggested the use of "day lights," a form of
lighting that he said was brighter and less
expensive than fluorescent lights.
Better coordination of bike paths and
student walkways is also needed, Scher said.
"I would investigate the possibility of special
bike path lanes where students would not
have to worry about cars," he said.
Scher said the University should study the
feasibility of a mini-semester academic
system which would include the
implementation of a four-course load
system.
"This system is working out well at other
campuses," Scher said. "The four-course
load is a necessity," he added.
The Charlotte native said the pass-fail
decline and the drop-add period should be
extended.

"The pass-fail deadline should be
extended into the seventh week of the
semester," Scher said. "By this time, most
professors have given a test and the student
knows how he is going to fare," he said.
Scher said drop-add should be extended
by about one week, giving the student more
time to decide whether to keep the course.
Scher said he would also examine the
book-buying policies of the Student Store.
He said his position last year as vice
president of Miami Dade Junior College
provided experience in this area.
He proposed a policy that would limit the
number of books a professor could order if
the professor ordered more books than
necessary for the previous semester.
Scher would also propose a "year book
policy" in which a professor may not change
books in the middle of an academic year.
The candidate said he would conduct a
low-key campaign.
"If a student votes for you just because he
sees your face constantly on a poster, there's
no point in running," he said.

policies of affirmative action.
The position of equal opportunity officer was established
to implement and monitor the affirmative action plan within
each department, the plan stated. .
Some of the officer's duties are to serve as a liaison
between the department and the affirmative action officer,
make annual reports of the department's progress in meeting
affirmative action goals and to identify the extent women
and black minorities are being under-utilized.
The plan projects a three-year implementation period for.
faculty and EPA non-faculty employes (those exempt from
the State Personnel Act). Other EPA employes will be
reviewed annually.
Provisions for upward job mobility were created in
January for UNC employes who want to change jobs within
the University's available positions.
A list of SPA and EPA non-faculty job openings will be
posted every two weeks with position titles and salary grades
for SPA jobs. Persons interested in EPA non-faculty
positions may receive specific job information from the
Registrar's office.
Affirmative Action officer Douglass Hunt's office receives
and publishes the job openings.
The jslan referred to data published by the American
Council of Higher Education which suggested that women
are not greatly represented in American university faculties
because in the past, women have not received many doctoral
and professional degrees.
UNC's figures show that this number is increasing, and
that the number of women available for higher positions
should also increase.

Jamie Ellis announced Monday her
candidacy for chairperson of the Association
of Women Students (AWS). Ellis, a
sophomore, has been AWS treasurer for two
years, has worked on the Women's Festival
and is on the editorial board of SHE.
"I think AWS has gone very far this year,
but I do think it should keep going," Ellis
said. She said expansion can be
accomplished through three major areas.
"I think SHE has proved successful and it
should take a stronger editorial stance. I
think it is important for women on this
campus," she said.
"The Women's Festival has set up the
momentum for programs of interest to
women," Ellis said. "This momentum should
be sustained through programs and speakers
sponsored or co-sponsored by AWS spread
throughout the year"

Marcus W. Williams, junior political
science major, announced Monday his
candidacy for President of the student body.
Williams said his goal as president would
be "to be stimulate student interest and
interaction, especially among the races and
between the sexes."
Citing a need for more control over funds,
Williams proposed that Student
Government establish an accounting board.
The board would keep a record of
financial transactions of Student
Government funded organizations and also
see that money spent would be used to
support campus human relations, he said.
Williams also said he sees a nejd for the
establishment of an underrjaduate human
relations course and an interdepartmental
woman's study curriculum.
Noting the hardship pl&ced on South
Campus students trying to get to class,,
Williams said he favors either a reduction of
South Campus room rents or free bus passes
to students living there.

That the defendants reinstate the
Instant Student Loan Service.
That the attorney general be
temporarily restrained from prosecuting
students for not repaying loans from the
service.
That any punishment rendered to
students convicted for not repaying their
loans become null and void, and that any
reference to past convictions be stricken
from the students permanent records.
The suit grants the-defendants until
Thursday to reply to the order. If the SG
officials agree, they will have indicated their
willingness to abide by the orders given in the

has filed for any of the six other seats on
campus, nor for any of the six off

When Letchworth was asked if the
small number of students who have filed
so far was indicative of apathy toward
elections, he said it was too early to tell.
In past years, he said, students have filed
on the last day in great numbers.

"Black women did not have enough
coverage in this festival," she said. "Other
interest areas could be brought in next year."
"AWS should coordinate and cooperate
with other groups on campus in order to
injure that women students interests are
best served," Ellis said. "AWS should be the
focal point for all women students to turn to
when they need information or help."
"We can set up study groups to investigate
areas where women are being discriminated
against," she said. AWS should press for
"real Affirmative Action," women's studies,
safety for women on campus and women's
athletics, she added.
"I think AWS has a lot of potential for
getting things done because the University
and others are beginning to recognize
AWS." Ellis said.

the North Campus and other necessary
areas."
In an attempt to strengthen and develop
our community responsibilities and spirit,
Williams said he would like to see lines of
communication form between Student
Government and Mayor Howard Lee's
office.
Williams also noted a need fcr "exposure
of and emphasis on Affirmative Action
Programs," and more interaction between
the University and nearby minority schools
by way of exchange programs.
The candidate said his campaign "is
founded on good faith, not promises."

Horn said the defendants disobeyed
student law-by allowing the loan service to
end. He said they ignored an amendment
passed by the CGC last November that took
jurisdiction of failure to repay the loan
service away from the Honor Court.
According to Horn, who sponsored the
November amendment, sending students
who failed to repay the loan serv ice to Honor
Court was like the old English practice of
sending debtors to prison. Horn's
amendment made failure to repay debts a
case for civil action as is the normal
procedure for debtors outside the
University.
Horn said James let the loan service
become defunct because he wouldn't have
time to handle the civil procedure, and
because students would not pay unless
brought before the Honor Court.
Horn said that it would be easier to file
civil court action than to set up an Honor
Court trial, and that civil action would work.
The chairman of the Student Services
Commission was included in the suit, Horn
said, for improperly overseeing the Instant
Loan Service.
James was included to restrain him from
prosecuting students for failure to repay
loans and to insure that he uses civil
procedure in such cases, Horn said.
He said Runge was included because the
other defendants are responsible to him.
The Instant Loan Service was started last
year so students could get SIS loans by
presenting their I.D.'s.
Horn said he included Whisenant as a
defendant because he thought Whisenant
was chairman of the Student Services
Commission when he wrote the complaint.
Whisenant, however, said he has never
served as chairman of the commission,
although he does work for the commission
office. He said the chairman is Mickey Clark
and that Clark should be listed as a
defendant in Whisenant's place.
Horn said he meant for the third
defendant to be the chairman of the
commission, and that he would replace
Whisenant's name with that of the chairman
if further investigation deemed the change
necessary.
