William M. Geer, director of student aid,
said Monday he expects his office will have
enough money to meet the needs of all
students on financial aid next year and
enouraged students to apply for aid by the
deadline Friday, March 1.
"We will have enough money to meet the
needs of our students next year," Geer said.
"This assumes an increase in costs and
applicants."
The University was granted $4,584,972 in
federal funds, but will not receive the full
amount, Geer said. He said the federal
government must wait for the 4,000 colleges
and universities across the nation to apply
before the government can make the
individual allotments.
"Last year we had a terrible problem
because of the controversy in the Congress
over the existing federal programs," Geer
said. "The funds were eventually made
available, but we could not tell the students
how much aid we could give until late in the
summer.
"Congress appropriated money for next
year in the fall of '73," Geer said. "The catch
is, we know what the national
appropriations are, but not the UNC
appropriation.

At midnight with 76.3 per cent of the
returns in, no candidate in either of the two
races had a majority of the votes cast, raising
the possibility of a run-off election to decide
the races. If either of the second place
candidates calls for a run-off, the second
election will be held next Wednesday.
In the race for Residence Hall Association
President, no official figures were available;
however, Betsey Jones and Mike O'Neal
were running a close race, raising the
possibility of a run-off.
No results were available in the race for
the 18 Campus Governing Council seats, 28
Honor Court seats or the senior class
officers. There also were no returns available
in the voting on three amendments to the

"We can respond to our students earlier
.this year than ever before," Geer said.
"Beginning in May we expect to begin
notifing currently enrolled students."
Geer said students who need aid should
meet the deadline for applications. "We
don't know of any students who have applied
for aid and are qualified under the law and
not received aid," he added.
"The aid that comes from this office is
based on need," Geer said. This year, 4,071
students received aid in the form of
scholarships, grants, loans and work-study,
he added.
The student's need is based on national
norms and an estimated cost for going to
school at UNC, Geer explained. For a single,
undergraduate student's 1974-1975
academic year the Student Aid Office
estimates expenses for a North Carolina
resident at $2,100 and a non-resident at
$3,658.
"We are a public university," Geer
stressed. "We could be a more public
university if we had greater funds. We could
open the doors wider; and we should.'
"I wish the University was a free public
school open to everyone who qualified for
admission," Geer said. "I'd like to be able to
abolish the Student Aid Office."

A survey of eight campus polling stations Wednesday afternoon showed that
voting was generally going smoothly although there were complaints at four polls
that they were not being supplied with enough ballots.
Elections officials at Parker, Ehringhaus, Y-Court and the Union reported no
problems. An official at Parker said he had been delivering ballots most of the
afternoon and said polls should have no problems keeping enough ballots as long as
they called the Elections Board Office for more when ballots began to run low.
Parker reported 239 people had voted at 4:15 p.m.
An elections official at James who said he had called the Elections Board Office
several times unsuccessfully reported they were out of the Constitutional
Amendment ballot concerning judicial reform. "The Elections Board Office isn't
responding well at all," he said. He added that when ballots were delivered they were
not always the ones that had been sent for.
The officials at James, where 388 people had voted at 4:30, were giving the voters
the option of voting without the judicial reform ballot or coming back later. Most
were voting without that ballot, the officials said.
At Connor they were out of CGC ballots and one Constitutional Amendment
ballot, but names wert taken of voters who missed them and those people were
asked to come back later.Connor reported only 1 17 voters at 4 p.m.
The polling station at Everett was out of CGC and Women's Athletic Association
President ballots at 4 p.m. Two hundred twenty-four persons had voted there, and
those who missed the two ballots were asked to return, although no list was made of
their names.
Elections officials at Ehringhaus said they had called the Elections Board Office
twice for additional ballots when their supply was low. They said they were
especially concerned that all students have a chance to vote on the Constitutional
amendments. One hundred ninety-two people had voted at Ehringhaus at 4:30.
Officials at Morrison said they had to call the Elections Board Office three times
before they got the ballots they needed. "We specifically asked for CGC ballots," the
official said, "and when the girl came she didn't have them." At 4:45 around 500 had
voted at Morrison and they were out of CGC ballots. More CGC ballots were
delivered by 5 p.m, however.
The Student Union poll reported 420 voters at 5 p.m. and the Y-Court reported
575. Neither station had problems keeping ballots, officials said.

United Press Internatlcnsl
WASHINGTON By a 25S-151 vote, the
House approved and sent to the White
House Wednesday an emergency energy bill
which President Nixon says he will veto
because of a mandatory rollback in crude oil
prices.
The oil industry called the bill a serious
disservice to the American consumer"
because it will reduce corporate profits
during the energy shortage and thus
discourage exploration for new oil supplies.
The House approved the Senate-passed
bill after rejecting a debate rule th&t would

Harwood said the incorrect labelling of
off-campus districts on the map was due to
his negligence.
"It's one thing 1 should have checked on. It

told it was incorrect," he said.

measure's key provisions, including a price
rollback and authority for Nixon to impose
gasoline rationing.
An official of the American Petroleum
Institute, an oil industry spokesman, said
after the House vote the result of the
congressional price rollback would be "a
drop in our supply of crude oil."
A presidential veto was considered a near
certainty, throwing into chaos Nixon's
efforts to win congressional support for a
vast array of energy-saving measures.
Its his baby now," said Rep. Harlcy O.
, Staggers, D-W.Va., floor manager of the bill
that authorizes both fuel price rollbacks and
gas rationing.
"It is the responsibility now of the
President to act responsibly to the nation,"
he said. "We have passed a bill that will stop
these lines at gas stations, if it is utilized and
really put to work.
"1 hope the President in his wisdom would
not veto it," Staggers said.

races in these three districts would be re-run.
The voter turn-out necessitated the
printing of 1000 additional ballots for the
referendum on three constitutional
amendments, Roxie Bream, member of the
Elections Board Executive Committee, said.
Harwood said the Elections Board
delivered ballots to polling places where
voting was heavier than expected
throughout the day.
House Republican Leader John J. Rhodes
of Arizona said he thought opponents of the
bill could muster enough votes to sustain the
expected presidential veto.
The Senate approved the controversial bill
Feb. 19, on a voteof 67 to 32.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson. D-Wash., chief
Senate backer of the bill, said, "I believe a
veto would be a serious mistake. The public
is just plain angry. 1 am confident we can
override a veto in the Senate."
House members first struck down a debate
rule that was designed to gut the bill, then
approved on separate votes its three main
portions authority to ration gasoline,
authority to order a long list of conservation
measures and a ceiling on oil product prices.
It was the oil price rollback feature which
Nixon said would force him to reject the bill.
Staggers, chief House sponsor of the
legislation, said it will help "the poor people,
the little people" by controlling prices and
protecting independent dealers.
