WASHINGTON The U.S. Court of
Appeals ruled Thursday the House Judiciary
Committee's impeachment inquiry must
receive a secret grand jury report on
President Nixon's handling of Watergate.
Lawyers for two of Nixon's former closest
aides immediately indicated they would not
appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
The appeals court's upheld a decision
UNC dormitories
Monday by U.S. District Judge John J.
Sirica that the committee must have the
report, and that it would be "incredible" to
deny it to a "proceeding of so great import"
as the House impeachment inquiry.
Sirica's decision had been taken to the
appeals court by John J. Wilson, attorney
for former top Nixon aides H.R. Haldeman
and John D. Ehrlichman. Wilson argued the
secret report unquestionably would leak to
reporters and his clients could not get a fair
trial.
But after the decision, Frank Strickler,
Wilson's partner, said "my thoughts are this
is the end of the line. I think we've exhausted
all reasonable avenues for revue."
The court delayed implementation of its
order until 5 p.m. EDT Monday to give
attorneys a chance to appeal to the Supreme
Court.
After Strickler's glum assessment of their
chances before the Supreme Court, Wilson

Sign-up begins Tuesday for students
wishing to live in University-owned dorms.
Sign-up times for each dorm will be
determined by each each individual
Residence Director (RD), who is supposed
to give an information sheet to all on
campus residents in his area. Residents who
don't receive such a sheet can check with
their RD. All sigri-ups will take place
Tuesday through Friday for students
wishing to stay in their same dorm.
Before students can sign-up for housing
they must pay a $50 deposit to the University
Cashier. Students should take a copy of the
housing contract with them when they go to
make the deposit. The contract can be found
in the back of the Room to Live booklet the
Housing Department gave to all on-campus
residents several weeks ago.
first-served basis.'
Those falling outside the quota for their'
dorm will be given priority on available
spaces within their residence college.
Residents will know at the time of sign-up
whether or not their application falls within
the quota for their dorm.
Those finding themselves closed out of
their Residence College will have to take,
their applications to the Housing Contracts
Office.
Those applications will then be grouped
with the applications of current on-campus
residents who wish to move to another dorm ,
and processed on the basis of the date they're
received by the Housing Office.
Any resident who wants to sign up for on
campus housing after March 29 should
apply directly to the Housing Office.
Current undergraduate residents of
Craige will be allowed to sign up for Craige
or any other South Campus dorm with in-
building resident priortiy by making
application to the RD of the dorm to which
they wish to move.
Current graduate residents of Carr or
Mclver may move to Craige with in-building
resident priority also.
Residents of second-floor Winston will be
allowed to sign up for their current rooms
without assurance of receiving the same
room next fall.
Financial aid recipients need to receive a
verification of aid from the Housing Office
before going to the University Cashier.
The sign-up procedure reflects the priority
with which on-campus spaces will be allotted
for next fall. .
Incoming freshmen receive the first
priority, current on-campus residents who
wish to keep the same room, current on
campus residents who wish to live in the
same dorm and off-campus students wishing
to move to University housing.
N
C. Education Committee defeats
bill for campus beer, wine sales
by Ssth Effron
Staff Writer
The N.C. Higher Education Committee
voted Wednesday to kill a bill to allow the
sale of beer and wine on state university
campuses.
The measure sponsored by Sen. Ed Knox,
D-Mecklenburg, was defeated after Sen.
Thomas Strickland, D-Wayne, the
committee's chairman, cast a no vote to
break a tie vote.
Those on the committee who cast no votes
did so because they felt the bill might be a
violation of the Umstead Act, Strickland
said.
The Umstead Act prohibits state agencies
from competing with private enterprise
except in certain circumstances. To avoid a
possible clash with the Act, proponents
amended the bill to allow each university
administration to franchise outside
establishments to sell beer and wine on
campus.
till ee.ver on Sunday
A survey of four locai service stations
indicates that most do not plan to open on
Sundays despite President Nixon's ending of
the ban on Sunday gasoline sales.
All four stations telephoned do anticipate
receiving increased gasoline allotments in
April as a result of the end of the Arab oil
embargo.
The owner of Robert. Sumney's Gulf said
he will not begin opening Sunday because his
station is pumping gas all day now and will
not keep longer hours if his allotment is
increased in April.
An employe of Gerald's Shell Service on
Airport Road said his station received more
gas in March than it could sell and plans to
stay open until 9 p.m. for the rest of the
month as a result of the surplus.
A spokesman for Chapel Hill Union 76 on
East Franklin said he did not know yet if his
station would open on Sundays. "I think we
probably will get a bigger gas allotment in
April, and we'll start staying open longer if
we do," he said.
The owner of Brinkley's Eastgate Gulf
said he does not plan to open on Sundays if
he receives an increase in his present
allotment.

This would be similar to the arrangement
the University here has with Servomation to
handle cafeterias.
The bill would have empowered the
trustees and administrations to allow beer
and wine sales on campus.
Gary Thomas, chairman of the State
Affairs Committee of Student Government
here, said students arguing on. behalf of the
bill said the sale of beer on campus would
improve the social life and the profits from
the sale could be used to support projects
being organized by student governments or
student unions.
Strickland, who campaigned against this
fall's referendum to allow counties the
option of selling liquor by the drink said in a
prepared statement: "Those who voted no,
expressed -the idea that the sale of beer on
campus would interfere with the free
enterprise system."
Knox could not be reached for comment
but members of his staff expressed the
senator's disappointment that the bill was
defeated. "We really worked and tried hard
to get the bill passed. We're all really
disappointed," one of Knox's aides said.

Pub Board to hold
interviews for editor
of 'The Cellar Door'
The Publications Board announced
Thursday open interviews for editor of The
Cellar Door, the undergraduate literary
magazine, will be held at the April 4 Pub
Board meeting at 3:30.
Students should submit a resume and
letters of recommendation before the
meeting. Call Mark Dearmon at 967-7608,
or Richard Robertson at 933-2426 for
information.
At the Pub Board meeting Thursday, bids
were approved for Taylor Publishing Co. of
Dallas, Texas, who will publish next year's
Yackety-Yack, and Stevens Studios of
Bangor, Maine, who will shoot yearbook
portraits.
In a tie vote broken by Chairman Richard
.Robertson, the board decided to request
$404 from the Campus Governing Council
to make back" salary payments to David
Hbxehg, former advertising sales manager
of WCAR, who is no longer enrolled at
UNC.
said even more glumly, "if we take any
action, it won't be before Monday."
John M. Bray, attorney for Watergate
defendant Gordon Strachan, said he
generally agreed with his fellow counsel but
would give the matter "careful revue."
In its 5-1 decision, the court said:
"We think it of significance that the
President of the United States, who is
described by all parties as the focus of the
report and who presumably would have the
greatest interest in its disposition, has
interposed no objection to the District
Court's action."
The court noted that Wilson's basic
objection to sending the material to the
House committee was that doing so would
lead to leaks of the report that would
compromise fair trials for the Watergate
defendants.
But the judges said "this is at best a slender
interest on which to support" the appeal.
The court said it noted, as did Sirica, that
if there are leaks of the report, the defendants
"will be free at trial to raise these claims in
the light of what has actually happened, and
to seek the traditional relief ranging from
continuance through change of venue to
dismissal of their indictments.
"It appears to be premature at the least to
make their speculations about future
prejudice the basis for present employment
of our extraordinary writ power."
Fun and frolic:
Apple Chill Fair
Chapel Hill Recreation Department
officials have set the week of April 15-21 as
the tentative date for the 1974 Apple Chill
Fair.
The Apple Chill program, now entering its
third year, combines street fair events with a
spring carnival atmosphere along Franklin
Street. Past fairs have featured outdoor
music, arts, crafts sales and children's games.
This year's fair will be held in conjunction
with the Campus Chest Carnival and the
annual UNC Greek Week. Apple Chill
organizers plan to sponsor a bicycle race,
town square dance and picnic and outdoor
movies as part of the festivities.
Shirly Harper, program coordinator of
the Chapel Hill Recreation Department,
said this year's plans call for fewer organized
events but for larger activities that will
involve more members of the community.
In contrast to past years, Apple Chill
organizers have no plans to solicit
contributions from town merchants to
support the festival. Recreation Department
funds will primarily subsidize the fair.

Llarcus Williams is sworn in
New president
assumes o
by Henry Farber
Staff Writer
In his first official speech as president of the Student Body, Marcus
Williams continued his campaign theme of "progress through interaction,"
hitting hard on "administrative policies that are unappealable no matter how
unfair they may be in individual cases."
Williams' remarks Thursday were heard by administration officials,
students and his parents from Lumberton at the presidential inauguration
held in the Union.
The new president spoke out in favor of more student involvement in the
Affirmative Action Plan, the consolidated University's plan for relieving
racial and sexual discrimination in employment practices.
. "The fact that the first plan was not accepted by HEW," Williams said, "is
some indication to me that our University needs to work on its good faith' a
great deal. I hope to air some suggestions and opinions to the advisory
committee for serious consideration."
In conjunction with his campaign theme, Williams said, "I have perceived
that most students feel isolated from Student Government, the supposed
vanguard for their needs It was with the intent to eradicate this prevailing
frustration that I constructed a campaign based on increased interaction
among all factions of the University, students and administration alike."
He made reference to the late Dr. James Brewer, black UNC history
professor who was honored in memorial services Wednesday, saying Brewer
shared his emphasis on progress through interaction.
Williams outlined several specific proposals he hopes to implement
throughout the year. They include monthly reviewing of Student Audit Board
organizations to insure student funds are used to support human relations, the
establishment of a human relations course, initiation of an inter-departmental
women's study curriculum and broad expansion of the Afro-American
studies department.
Williams also reiterated his proposal of an academic appeals board,
composed of students and faculty members.

The agenda for today's meeting of the Faculty Council
includes consideration of the Judicial Reform document and
suggestions made by a committee, studying the status of
minority and disadvantaed students.
The meeting will be held at 4 p.m. in Hamilton Hall
Auditorium.
The 42-page Judicial Reform document was approved by
voters in the Feb. 27 campus referendum. The document,
already approved by Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor, needs
the approval of the council to become the official instrument
of campus judicial governance.
The annual report of the Committee on the Status of
Minority and Disadvantaged notes that the University is
"moving forward in dealing with the problems of its minority
students."
The report specifically commends Chancellor Taylor
for effecting changes which demonstrate "a personal
commitment to progress."
However, the report states the committee's belief that the
changes made to date are negligible compared with the
progress that is still. needed.
The report is in six parts, each containing the
recommendations of one of the committee's six task groups.
The group charged with studying the status and needs of
handicapped students suggests an orientation program,
increased faculty awareness of the problems of the
handicapped and structural and parking policy changes to
improve accessibility to campus structures. .
The task group also recommended the hiring of a full-time
employe in the Student Affairs office to be responsible for
the needs of handicapped students.
The resolution proposed by the task group would urge the
University to take steps to meet the needs and concerns of
handicapped students.
The task group dealing with other minorities women,
American Indians and foreign students proposed a
resolution to appoint a committee to investigate the
formation of an interdisciplinary curriculum in Women's
Studies.
The task group on minority graduate student recruitment
urged the establishment of recruitment programs similar to
the ones used for undergraduates.
Humphrey Cummings, un-official member of the
committee, said the group proposed that departments solicit
funds for minority graduate students from foundations and
government agencies.
Spot announcement on public service broadcasts would
also be used to recruit minority students, Cummings said.:
"Graduate school departments would be encouraged to
set up goals for recuiting," Cummings said. "Each
department would designate a recruiter from its faculty."
Cummings said the resolutions proposed for
consideration in the Faculty Council meeting are broad
statements which would represent a request by the faculty
that the University take action on the specific proposals in
the committee's report.
The proposed resolution on race relations urges that the
committee on race relations be made a permanent committee:
in the office of the dean of Student Affairs.
The task group dealing with financial aid recommends the
hiring of a black associate director in the Financial Aid
Office to deal with the concerns of minority students.
The resolution also urges the hiring of counselors to assist
minority students in the Financial Aid Office.
The suggestions by the task group on academic and
counseling needs include a minority support package to aid
minority student adjustment, and In-Service Institutes
designed to encourage better understanding between
minority students and members of the faculty.
