A new gymnasium complex for the
Carolina campus, its first since the Women's
Gym in 1942, could be a reality by the Spring
of 1977, Gordon Rutherford, UNCV
director of planning, said this week.
Currently, a UNC request for $165,000 in
planning funds is under consideration by the
North Carolina General Assembly's
Advisory Budget Committee, now meeting
in Rakish. The request is the University's
top priority among capital improvements.
Rutherford said action will be taken on
the proposal before the end of the 74 session
and chances are good for approval.
The proposed $4.75 million physical
education facility will most likely be located

More than 150 Chapel Hill citizens
jammed a special Planning Board public
forum Tuesday to voice a firm "No" to
several controversial road-building
proposals. -
The forum, the second in a series of open
meetings designed to test public support for
future revisions to the Chapel Hill
Thoroughfare Plan, attracted town officials,
private citizens and a sprinkling of UNC
students. A
A tentative proposal to construct an outer
loop thoroughfare running roughly parallel
to U.S. 15-501 Bypass and designed to
relieve traffic congestion along hard-pressed
highways in the southern part of the city
aroused the majority of citizens' ire.
"This outer loop proposal seems to violate
all planning proposals recommended by city
planners. It will disrupt both established
residential areas and natural features such as
streams and trees," one Chapel Hill resident
said.
Construction of the outer loop would
divide three unified housing developments,
intrude on the area watershed and cut across
one end of the North Carolina Botanical
Garden.
One suggestion that met with more
approval was the recommendation that the
Planning Board map be revised, placing the
loop further to the southeast of the area in
question and avoiding intrusion on
urbanized areas.
A second plan that drew a great amount of
opposition from downtown residents was

in close proximity to Woollen Gymnasium,
replacing the Tin Can across from the
Student Union.
Although constructed mainly for women's
physical education, the gym will also
function as a recreational and intramural
facility for the total needs of the student
body and faculty.
The proposed complex includes three
gymnasiums one basic and two
multipurpose fifteen handball courts, a
rhythm dance studio, a weight exercise
room, and areas for fencing and golf.
The facility, estimated at 1 52,000 square
feet, will also house six squash courts, the
first ones for the UNC campus.
After planning, the 75 General Assembly
will be asked for the construction funds, with
the building process beginning by August of

north-south thoroughfare and extend
Pittsboro Street through the central business
district to connect with Airport Road.
Extension of Pittsboro Street would
require a right-of-way through the Cameron
Street fraternity area. Planners have
estimated that the project, destroying the
Kappa Alpha house, two municipal parking
areas and several private homes, would cost
several million dollars to complete.
"It is not in the interest of the town of
Chapel Hill to devise highway plans merely .
to pass traffic through the central city as fast
as possible," one town resident said.
Opposition to the extension of Pittsboro
Street was also expressed on behalf of the
University community by Claiborne S.
Jones, vice chancellor for Business and
Finance.
Other projects that aroused oppositon
from area homeowners were plans to add a
new radial road south from U.S. 15-501 to
the proposed outer loop between N.C. 54
and Farrington Roads and reclassification
of Honeysuckle Road from a major
thoroughfare with addition of Weaver Dairy
Road as a major traffic artery.
A recommendation to add Manning Drive
to the Thoroughfare Plan and to delete
Otey's Road and Mason Farm Road from
the master plan attracted mild opposition
from area residents and some support from
persons who felt that the proposal would
speed traffic flow to the N.C. Memorial
Hospital area.
Members -of the Planning Board stress
that the forum series is designed only to
obtain public input, not to make final
decisions on road-building priorities.

Physical education administrators hope
the basic gymnasium will contain three

Elections Board Chairman Rick Harwood
said earlier this week petitions were not
handled well this year. He said instructions
should have been more explicit and their
collection and distribution should have been
better organized.
Many candidates did not sign their own
petitions as stipulated in the Elections Laws,
Harwood said. "Basically, we've decided to
let it slide this time," Harwood said. "It could
cause a holocaust," he added. "People could
contest elections right and left."
Harwood said he also had trouble
identifying candidates who used nicknames
or who failed to write their addresses on

The Campus Governing Council passed
three bills paving the way for the .Feb. 27
campus elections in its final meeting Tuesday
night.
In a two-hour meeting, the council also
approved the appointment of a new director
of the Student Services Commission and a
constitutional amendment to be added to the
referendum ballot.
Council Member Bill Snodgrass
introduced a bill to amend four sections of
the campus elections law. Three of the
amendments were approved.
The Council did not pass the most
controversial section of the elections law bill
having to do with opening communication
blocks.
"I want to work more closely with the new
president of the student body," Zelon said,
"acting as a representative of GPSF."
"Next, and this is most important, I want
to maintain an open door policy for grad
students; if they have any problems or
inquiries to the department," he said.
Snodgrass, who will be resigning as
president in March, will work as an
executive director of GPSF next year,
"helping us in our day-to-day operations,"
said Zelon.
The three presidential candidates at the
Tuesday night meeting briefly told the senate
about their various platforms.
Hackney said, "I want to make the $14

$14."

body enrollment has increased over five
times, from 4,100 in 1942 to abcut 20.030
today. Most significant is the growth in
women's physical education.
In 1942, there were 827 women on campus
with 200 taking physical education. Now,
approximately 1250 females are in physical
education with an overall women's
enrollment of 7400.
An additional gym facility was first
requested in 1965 by the women's physical
education department. In the General
Assembly the gym ranked behind a money
, request for Wilson library.
Rutherford said that the facilities of the
1923-constructed Tin Can will not be
replaced, but the University will have to
consider building a new indoor track.

Politico's workers he would not divulge the
legal name on the statement said he checked
the name and found it to be that of a student
in good standing.
Before the Board validated the two
candidacies it first passed a motion saying
Schooley could use the pseudonym on the
ballot only if his legal name was included in
parentheses. After Mystery Politico's ruling
however, Schooley was allowed to use the
pseudonym alone.
Mystery Politico was not present at the
meeting, but one of his campaign managers,
Dave Bruton, spoke in his behalf. Bruton
insisted that Mystery Politico had studied
the Election Laws thoroughly, and that his
candidacy was in order.
Elections Board member Linda Killen
said the legality of Mystery Politico's
candidacy depends on the interpretation of
an election law provision requiring a
candidate use his name on the ballot, and
sign his own petition.
"We want to use 'Mystery Politico'
because it is an official nickname," Bruton
said, citing the notarized statement.
Bruton said he felt he was being harassed
because, "We represent a threat." He said
Mystery Politico will reveal his legal identity
if he wins the election. Otherwise, he will
remain anonymous, Bruton said.

candidate, "They've shown me they're
serious. They've gone to a lot of trouble to
validate their candidacy," he said.
Killen said she thought one of the other
candidates would ' appeal the Election
Board's decision to the Supreme C6urt to
require candidates to use their legal names

which would have allowed the use of a
"nickname or pseudonym" by candidates on

Although Snodgrass introduced the bill,
the nickanme section was included at the
request of Robert Hackney, council
member.
"It's going to allow Mystery Politico and
El Libre on the ballot," Hackney said. "This
is a question of the fairness of allowing
people who've gone to the trouble to get a
petition and promote their candidacy to be
included," he said.
Snodgrass and Student Body President
Ford Runge opposed the amendment.
Snodgrass said he did not think it would
be fair to change "the rules of the game" so
close to the election date.

He told the senate he wants to set up a
student housing locator service to find any
available housing or apartmets for students.
He also said he was in favor of directly
electing at least three members of the Union
Board.
Warren said "no one knows what Student
Government is."
He told the Senate he wanted to bring
direct feed-back and representation into the
system by having a woman, a black, a Greek
and a graduate student appointed as
assistants to the president.
Fogler said, "It would be presumptuous
for an undergraduate to decide what the grad
student needs." If elected president, Fogler
said he wanted to work with the GPSF to
find out what these needs are.

"I don't call this a blowout," said Dean Smith after his fourth-ranked Tar Heels
avenged a loss to the Miami of Ohio Redskins by a score of 83-69.
It may not have been a blowout but it was a big blow to the Redskins, as All
merican Bobby Jones played a superb defensive game and dumped in 29 points to set
his career record. An inspired Ed Stahl contributed heavily to the Carolina cause,
blocking key shots, grabbing 1 1 rebounds and passing out six assists, while also scoring
10 points.
UNC was able to capitalize on their full-court and half-court press, forcing the
Redskins into situations where the Tar Heels were able to snatch away an easy basket.
Miami was able to keep things close in the first half on the strength of a flashy
shooting display by guard Phil Lumpkin (six of nine in the half) and the strong inside
work of former Duke player Dave Elmer.
Holding a five point 38-33 lead at the half, the Tar Heels were able to keep the
. defensive pressure on the tiring Redskins while cashing in on those nice, low-risk three
footers. UNC ballooned to a 48-37 lead when Bobby Jones leaped up high over the rim and
dropped in a bucket on a fine assist from Darrell Elston.
Jones had freedom of movement against the Redskins and the Charlotte native was
nearly unstoppable underneath. "Last year they fronted me more." said Jones." "but
this year they were content to let me have the low post ... it was really easy scoring."
With Darrell Elston handcuffing Phil Lumpkin in the second half. Carolina was able
to inflate their lead to 65-50 at the 9:52 mark.
It was all downhill from there for the tired Redskins whose hopes for an upset were
drowned in the wake of some strong offensive work by the UNC forwards and the
irrepressible Jones.
Coach Smith was able to substitute liberally after Carolina spread out their four
corner offense leading 71-56 with 3:44 remaining to play.
Absent from the Tar Heel lineup was 6-9 Mitch Kupchak who was forced to the
bench because of a back injury suffered Saturday against Florida State. Kupchak is
expected to play this coming Saturday afternoon against Virginia.
The UNC junior varsity pulled out a sudden death overtime victory over Laurinberg
Institute by a 91-89 score.

The council removed the amendment
from the bill, although Runge said the CGC
should take a stand on the question.
"We've failed to make any commitment to
the question," he said. "We are leaving the
power to determine the legitimacy of using
nicknames with the Elections Board." he
said.
One of the amendments approved by the
council removes the requirement that a
member of the attorney general's staff be
present at each polling place while the polls
are open.
Members of the staff are required to be
"constantly checking" the security cf the
polling places, according to the amendment.
Another amendment provides for the 70
undergraduates living in Craige Graduate
Center to vote with residents of James dorm.
The bill also suspended a section of the
elections law requiring the Elections Board
be confirmed no later than 1 4 days before the
election.
The confirmation of the Elections Board
in Tuesday's meeting was past that deadline.

Weeks. Bill Daughtridge. Carolyn King.
Linda Kellen. Rick Bryant, Gail Arneke.
Joan Hrenko. Lillian Murray, and Russel
Proctor.
The approval of Hoyt B. Doak III as
director of the Student Services Commission
was questioned by members of the council.
Council Member Amelia Bellows voiced
opposition to the appointment on the
grounds that Doak is not a student and that
he received the nomination because he is a
friend of Student Body Treasurer Steve
Jones, she said.
Doak said his only qualification for the
$350 per semester position was summer
employment in a bank.
Other actions in the meeting included a
resolution to amend the student
constitution.
The amendment, if passed by the
student body in a referendum, would
provide for proportional representation of
graduate students on the Student Union
Board of Directors, The Publications Board,
the Elections Board, and The Student Audit
Board.
The council's final action as a legislative
body was a resolution of intent concerning
the appropriation of funds for the cours,e
teacher evaluation.
Runge introduced the resolution stating
the intention of CGC to allocate five
thousand dollars for the evaluation. This
money will be matched by a gift of $10,000
from anonymous sources.
"This is an attempt to demonstrate to
these parties (the anonymous donors) our
good faith," Runge said. "We're sending a
message to the next council," he added.
