A petition initiated by the Craige
Graduate Center Executive Council
protesting the two-dollar-a-day rent charge
for students remaining in University housing
during spring break has about 300
signatures, Gordon Ball, a graduate student
and resident of Craige said Tuesday.
The petition that will be presented to
Director of University Housing James
Condie, states, "We, the residents of Craige
Graduate Center, hereby register strong
protest against the arbitrary implementation
of additional charges for residents wishing to
maintain residence during Spring break."
The petition states that no legal notice was
given students in the contracts they had to
sign, and says "we deem this policy unlawful
and discriminatory."
Bail said, "Condie tried this same thing

In an effort to regain the world streaking record for
UNC, streak organizers have announced that a
massive coed streak will be held at midnight tonight.
Males will organize at Mangum dorm and females at
Joyner dorm at II p.m. At least 510 streakers are
needed to smash the new record of 509 set Monday
night at the University of South Carolina.
The Gamecocks streaked two and a half miles
around their Columbia, S.C. campus allegedly
shouting, "Go to hell, Carolina, go to hell!"
During the festivities, more than 500 streakers

nude coeds and several naked motorcyclists. "Tarzan",

the mislabeling of these districts on the
Elections Board's map last week at alt but

In the race for editor. Cole Campbell, who
received 1.669 votes in the general election,
runs against Jim Cooper and GregTurosak,
who received 1,5 1 3 votes in their try for a co
editorship. In the hotly contested RHA race, Betsey
Jones, who received 1,375 votes last week,
goes against Mike O'Neal, who polled 1,041
votes.
In the CAA race. Tom Pritchard, who was
announced the winner Monday because of
rge pro
just before Christmas," and called the Spring
break charge, "a Christmas rerun of a heavy
bureaucratic action."
Condie said the two-dollar-a-day charge
was announced last fall when students were
signing up for rooms.
The Housing Acceptance Agreement
dated October 1, 1973 says, "Housing
contracts are for periods when classes are in
session and do not cover holidays and
semester breaks. For the convenience of
students who must stay on campus during
the periods that University is not in sesssion,
a few residence halls will be kept open and
will be staffed. A daily fee of $2.00 per person
to cover cost and refundable key deposit of
$2.00 will be charged."
Condie said the two dollar charge was the
same that .was announced for Christmas
vacation, and both were based on the same
contract. A student on a one or two semester
contract should pot have to pay for those
admirers could take his picture.
Some streakers, however, were not nearly so well
received. Police in Athens, Ga., used ..tear gas to
disperse University of Georgia students angered over
the arrest of a naked runner," and at Carson-Newman
College in Tennessee officials of the Baptist-supported
institution warned students that streaking was out.-
Dr. John A. Fincher, president of Carson-Newman,
told students: 1 am unalterably opposed to this
conduct and will be forced to deal strongly with any
individuals who can be identified as participating in
this type of activity. Any offender will be subject to
suspension from the college."

his plurality in the general election, faces
Rob Friedman, who appealed for a run-off.
Elections Board Chairman Bill Duughtridgc
said he decided after consulting the Attorney
General's staff to allow a run-off.
Although the Elections Laws provide for
run-offs only in the races for Student Body
president, DTH editor and RHA president.

who wish to stay during vacations, Condie
said. "People should pay for services they're
going to receive."
Condie said "room rents are based on
programmatical and operational costs" and
said the total vacation time of 28 days during
the year (Thanksgiving, Christmas and
Spring Break) is not used to compute room
rents.
Condie said he did not anticipate any
change of policy because of the Craige
petition. "If the principles are sound, why
should we change?" he said.
Condie said the additional charge at
vacation times, because it kept room rent
from going up for other students, was
particularly fair for students who have to
earn their own way or for people on financial
aid. He said the only alternative to the extra
charge would be to close the buildingdown.
Ball said even if there was a clause about
the charge of the contract, "it's not in the
spirit of accordance with past precedents.'
Ball said this was the first time an additional
charge had been levied at spring break for
Craige residents, and Condie said he did not
know what the policy was last year because
he wasn't at UNC then.
The room rent contract, Ball said, is
immoral because of the sweeping power it
gives the University over the individual
student. He said the contract legally gave the
University the power to move a student from
room to room everyday, if they so desired.
He said the contract was full of political
power and said. "They've got you over a
barrel."

Former Daily Tar Heel managing
editor Winston Cavin, defeated last week
in his bid for editor, announced Tuesday
his endorsement of Jim Cooper and Greg
Turosak for editor of the paper.
Cavin said, "Cooper and Turosak offer
the best combination of ideas and ability
for the job. Naturally. 1 thought I was the
best candidate, but I feel they are the best
choice in the runoff."
Cavin added that both Cooper and
Turosak have journalistic experience
necessary to run the Tar Heel, and that
Turosak has proven himself an able and
responsible journalist.
"On the other hand," Cavin continued.
" Their opponent has shown me nothing
journalistically."
Cavin concluded, "Whoever wins the
run-off is going to have his or their hands
full. Cooper and Turosak are much more
qualified to handle the job."

Day accused the Tar Heel staff of
taking a "biased, half-assed attitude"

The Daily Tar Heel learned yesterday
from the Committee's Chairman, J.J.
Harrington, that the committee will
discuss possible amendments to the bill,
recommended in a report written by the
State Department of Transportation.
These amendments could provide
assistance to the Chapel Hill transit
system.
The' report calls for the State
Legislature to authorize the
Department of Transportation to
supply assistance in planning, and
improving mass transportation facilities
in any municipality, county or region in
North Carolina.
The report, written by John Collura
and Lee Corum (a student in the
Department of City and Regional
Planning here), says because local
financial resourses are limited and local
tax burdens are reaching their limits,
assistance from the state could help
"maximize the use of Federal tax dollars
available to local governments."
Local governments in North Carolina
receive only one-eighth of one per cent
of all funds granted by the Urban Mass
Transportation Administration, the
report said. This amount is relatively
low considering North Carolina is the
twelfth largest state in the nation and
contains one and one half per cent of the

SCA U asks action
on bill for tenants
by Art Eisenstadt -Staff
Writer
The Student Consumer Action Union (SCAU) has submitted a report to the N.C.
General Assembly recommending that the legislators pass House Bill 673. called the
Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.
An amended version of the bill was passed by the House Judiciary 1 Committee
Tuesday morning, and was sent to the House floor for ratification. :
The SCAU report was prepared by its Landlord-Tenant Lobbying Committee.
The committee consists of Janice Mills, Janie Clark, Kathy Moore. Eugene
Dauchert and Pat McKeithan. :
"We would like to re-enphasize the urgent need for some type of reform in regard
to landlord-tenant legislation in North Carolina," the report read. The committee
felt that H.B. 673 is the best of a number of bills dealing with the problem that have
been introduced in the Assembly this session. I
The 13-page report was prepared in two parts. The first section consisted of a
thorough study of housing problems in the state. :
Information was complied from surveys mailed to housing authoritites and legal
aid societies in the major cities of North Carolina, plus a study of housing-related
files in the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's Office and the
SCAU.
Charging that the most recent information compiled of housing problems was
inadequate, SCAU published four pages on statistics based on its own research. The
previous figures referred to were complied as part of the 1970 census.
SCAU claims its figures show that North Carolina's housing problems "point up
a tragedy of grave dimensions."
The SCAU figures concern such problems as overcrowding, substandard
housing, and the nature and sites of housing complaints around the state.
The second part of the study is a brief review of landlord-tenant bills in other
states, and past bills of this type in North Carolina.
After passing through the committee this morning, the bill spelled out
habitability guidelines, repair agreements on the part of both landlords and tenants
specified time limits for rent payments, and set ceilings on the prices of security
deposits.
All rented residential dwelling other than condominiums, fraternal organizations
and hotels are affected by the bill.

country's urban population, the report
noted.
Over the years 1973 to 1978 the report
projected improved mass
transportation in Urban areas would
cost over 11 million dollars. Corum said
about 80 per cent of this would be taken
care of by the Federal government.
Another 14 million dollars would be
taken in terms of an operating deficit.
Seven transportation systems
operating in the state have an annual
loss and several operate with marginal
profits. Ashville, Greensboro. Durham.
High Point, Raleigh. Wilmington and
Winston-Salem all are losing money.
Public transportation systems in
Rocky Mount, Boone. Johnston
County, and Onslow County have
discontinued service according to the
report. Federal funds for these systems
for everyone except Boone were ended
last year. Federal funds for the Boone
system are scheduled to end in June.
The report states the programs have
been ineffective "due to a lack of
coordination and technical assistance."
The report continues: "North Carolina
only plays a nominal role in assisting
local governments in public mass
transportation."
The transportation committee
meeting will be in room 1 124 of the State
Legislative Building at 11:30 a.m.
