WRC files suit

Representatives of the Women's
Residence Council (WRC) filed a suit in
Student Supreme Court Monday
restraining Residence Hall Association
(RHA) President Mike O'Neal from
holding a meeting of the WRC at which
he planned to alter the structure of the
council. ,- .
The plaintiffs in the suit are Joyce''
Dalgleish, who was elected WRC
chairman Mar. 25, and Kate
Whittington, past chairman. They will
take their case before the Supreme
Court Thursday at 10 p.m.
The central issue in the case is a
questionable clause in the RHA
constitution which describes the
composition of the WRC. The plaintiffs
interpret it to call for 12 or 13 women to
sit on the council, as they have since the
WRC was re-established last year.
O'Neal says the clause calls for 43
members.
O'Neal said Monday he planned to re
hold elections for WRC chairman at the
scheduled meeting because Dalgleish's
election was invalid due to the alleged
composition of the WRC at the March
meeting.
O'Neal said all the WRC's meetings
held since the council was re-established
were illegal due to the WRCs
interpretation of its membership
composition as outlined in the RHA
constitution.
The section in question states that the
WRC is composed of "the chief female
executive officer of each undergraduate
residential house housing women
students."

Whittington's interpretation allows
for one WRC representative to come
from each of the dorms, high-rise and
low-rise alike.
O'Neal said of Whittington's view of
the WRC's present construction:
"There's no way in hell you can stretch
that interpretation out of that (the WRC
section)". O'Neal's interpretation calls
for 43 women to sit on the WRC.
The RHA chairman said the larger
council would give greater
representation to South Campus dorms
and Granville Towers.
He interpreted the word "House" in
the constitution to mean entire dorms
on North Campus and floors in high
rise dorms.
"The Men's Residence Council has
done it this way since 1966," O'Neal
said, "and the WRC was patterned
after the MRC."

Don't waste your energy banging on that
soft drink machine trying to get your change
back. There isn't any. Soft drinks purchased
from campus vending machines now cost a
quarter.
David Britt, manager of Triangle Coin
Caterers which is contracted with the
University to provide campus vending
service, said recently a dramatic rise in the
price of sugar was primarily responsible for
their raising soft drink prices to 25 cents.
Britt said, however, that increased costs
on other vending products such as candy and
coffee contributed to the need for the nickel
increase.
Britt said vending "suppliers had to,
consider rising costs on all their products
before deciding to raise the machine prices.

"They want to change the structure of
their membership by themselves,"
O'Neal added. "They can't do that
without a duly constituted amendment.
What it amounts to is that they're
interpreting the constitution to say what
they want."
Whittington defended the WRC's
action, citing a clause in the RHA
constitution that allows the WRC "to
establish procedures for the
performance of its business."
"We . established our procedures,"
Whittington said, "and he's telling us
they're no good. He has no grounds to
invalidate the election because he has
nothing to say about WRC. It's not
within his jurisdiction."
O'Neal replied that he stepped in to
correct what he considers the illegal
composition of the WRC, based on his
interpretation of the RHA constitution.

For example, he said, Triangle Coin
Caterers was still selling candy bars for 10
cents despite the sugar cost rise; coffee prices
for the customer have not increased, he said,
despite a 50 per cent rise in wholesale coffee
prices since last year. Vending cups cost the
company 1 5 per cent more this year than last,
Britt said.
"We try to hold the line on these other
items as long as possible," Britt said, while
they are making the increase on a particular
item.
Britt said the decision to increase prices on
campus was made with the University after
Triangle Coin Caterers had shown good
cause for the increase.
Triangle buys from the Coca-Cola Co. of
Durham, and the Coca-Cola Co. announced
increased wholesale prices on all sizes
effective April 1. A case of 24 12-ounce cans
rose from $3.30 to $3.65. -

A plan assigning student parking zones
and establishing a priority system based on
seniority has been worked out by student
leaders and will be considered for final
approval by the Campus Governing Council
tonight.
The plan, which was distributed only to
CGC members Monday, has the approval of
the University administration and, if passed
by the council, will set the distribution policy
for student parking under the new parking
system scheduled to begin July 1.
The proposal, which was finalized
Thursday in a meeting between several
student leaders and Associate Dean of
Student Affairs James O. Cansler,
designates parking areas for commuting
students and dorm residents. It gives top
priority for the limited number of permits
available to handicapped students, carpools,
graduate and professional students and
seniors.
All parking permits forthe North Campus
zone will be assigned to students living in
dorms on North Campus.
In South Campus zones, where there are a
total of 2,223 parking spaces, 997 permits
will be assigned to residents and the
remainder will go to commuting students.
The South Campus areas will be split into
two zones with 700 spaces in the area closest
to campus (S-5), and 1,523 in the
southernmost area (S-4).
About 150 permits will be assigned in the
S-5 area to residents of Parker, Avery and
Teague dorms. About 847 permits will be
assigned to residents of the remaining South
Campus dorms for the S-4 area.
Under the plan for priority distribution of
the permits, residents and commuters will be
considered separately for the number of
permits available to them. For dorm
residents, handicapped students will have
first priority and graduate and professional
students and undergraduate seniors will be
considered together as second priority.
Juniors will be considered third,
sophomores fourth and junior transfers will
be considered last.
For off-campus students, handicapped
students will have top priority and carpools
of three or more students will be considered
second. Carpools of two students will be

Dental hygiene, nursing, pharmacy, public health and
other students have had their instructions announced in
classes or posted in their respective colleges.
Graduate students will pre-register from April 18 to April
23. Students are to check advisers bulletin boards for
appointment times, secure approval forms, take them to 1 14
Steele Building for approval, then to 01 Hanes.
Undergraduate students planning to enter graduate
school next fall are not eligible to pre-register and must
register on the assigned day.
A spokesman for the Office of Records and Registration
said students are not pre-registered until they have taken the
approval forms to 01 Hanes. Approval forms will be
accepted there from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during pre-registration
week, according to schedule.
Rising seniors are scheduled to deliver their pre
registration forms today only. April 17, rising seniors and
juniors will be accepted. The remaining days, anyone may
submit pre-registration forms.
Thomas Shetley, general manager of the
Student Stores, which also operates the
dormitory snack bars, said their retail price
on soft drinks would not increase right now.
"We anticipated the price increase and
ought a whole warehouse full of Coke,
Shetley said. The retail price on soft drinks
will probably not go up until mid-summer or
the fall semester, he said.
Servomation's Director of Food Service
Robert Greer said there would be no increase
in soft drink prices in their facilities before
the school year ends, although the mix they
buy from the Pepsi Cola Co. has gone up 25
cents a gallon.
Greer said they will probably raise soft
drink prices by the beginning of the first
summer session and use the summer as a test
for new prices that will be adjusted if
necessary for the fall semester.

considered next.
Graduate and professional students will
be considered along with seniors as the
fourth priority group, followed by juniors,
sophomores and junior transfers.
If there are not enough permits available
to distribute to all students in one priority
pool, a lottery will be conducted by Student
Government to distribute the permits in that
priority classification.
Under the plan, permits will be distributed
this month for 95 per cent of the spaces
available to students. When students return
next fall, five per cent of the permits will be
allocated according to the seniority system.
Another 10 per cent will be distributed in
the fall on the basis of need. A committee of
five students and one representative of the
Office of Student Affairs will determine who
gets those permits.
The number of permits distributed will
consist of 1 10 per cent of the number of
parking spaces on campus. The move will
mean a net reduction from the number of
permits sold this year of about 50 per cent for
commuting students and about 30 per cent
for dorm residents.
Mike O'Neal, chairman of the Residence
Hall Association, said the allocations for
dorm residents were generous.

where the plan was drawn up, said he wanted
dorm residents to get priority over
commuting students but had not been able to
put that in the plan.
"If we are going to make the community's
transit system work, we should put the
burden on one group, the commuters, rather
than in a piecemeal way on every group," he
said.
Student Transportation Director Lew
Warren was also not completely happy with
the plan, but called the proposal an effective
compromise.
Warren said he had wanted the permits to
be allocated on the basis of the number of
years a student has spent at this university
rather than putting graduate students and
seniors together as a priority.
"Nobody's going to come out ahead under
this plan," Warren said, "and everybody is
going to have to give up a little. In the long
run, all students will benefit."
Another student who worked on the
committee that drew up the proposal,
Murray Fogler, said the action was
significant because the administration had
sought student input.
I was glad the University decided to give
us some responsibility but I think they did it
because they didn't want to have to set up the
priorities themselves," he said.

sat back and relaxed, holding his finalist's
plaque in his hand.
He talked confidentially, tired from the
game.
"Those Far Lefts got a plaque as big as
ours and we won. I don't think that's fair," he
commented. "We won."
