The proposal, which had been completed by SG over the weekend, establishes a system of priorities for distribution of student parking permits and gives formulas for allocating the permits among campus residents and commuters. Under the plan, residents would be able to park in three major areas of campus. They are: Zone N-4, which contains 359 spaces. It includes the parking lots behind Aycock and Graham dorms and the long lot running between Cobb dorm and the tennis courts. North Campus residents would have first priority to park in this area. Zone S-4, which contains, 2,223 spaces, and includes Craige parking lot. Residents of the four South Campus high-rise dorms would have first priority to park here. Zone S-5. which contains about 700 spaces, and includes the Ramshead parking lot and parts of Stadium Drive. Residents of Scott Residence College would have first priority in this area. Stumped over the maze of new campus parking regulations? Former Student Transportation Commissioner Lee Corum has offerred the following advice to students who are completing their applications for motor vehicle parking permits for the 1974-75 school year: Students who desire to park their cars on campus stand the best chance of securing a permit by applying for zones newly-created N-4, S-4, S-5 and M. N-4 includes spaces in the vicinity of Lower Quad dormitory complex, S-4 includes the South Campus high-rise complex, S-5 contains the Woollen Gym Carmichael Auditorium vicinity and M covers the married student housing area.

"Re form is not what we want. We want change." Koonce was one of four inmates from North Central and Polk Youth Center who spoke to students Tuesday night about prison life and the possibilities for reform of the North Carolina penal system. Koonce, who has five more years in the North Central Correction Center, said prison reform was just a fad now, and added he wasn't at all optimistic that real change Tir.nzy Ctcvcr.3 (1st!) end Ozczr nctlnzsn zzr.lzt), t:;o ef 2vsrl irsmstss present Tussday n!ht In tha Grct Ui' end u;:c etudsnt Vateria Cstts (rlht), Ktlzn Intent! io discussions of prison reforms end cell conditions.

However, leftover spaces in Zone S-5 will be distributed among commuters. CGC member Becky Veazey introduced a resolution calling for the student body president, the student transportation commission and the Residence- Housing Association to look into the problem of getting more spaces for North Campus residents. Earlier, she had tried to have the parking bill amended so as to allow North Campus drivers the opportunity to buy leftover S-5 spaces. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 1 1-8 with one abstention. Under the bill, North Campus residents unable to obtain a parking permit on campus would have to purchase a space at the University's new fringe lot at Horace Williams Airport and take the new shuttle bus to get to their cars. "The mass-transit system is precious; we should use it," Veazey said. But she added that North Campus residents "should not be required to travel five or six miles just to get to their cars. The dorms are home to these students." ers tips icle permits for permits in zones M-l, N-4 and S-4 and preference to other applicants for permits in other N and S zones.

Koonce spoke about the effects of prison on a man's mind. "I've been there five years now, and I don't know how to respond to people," he said. "I'm scared of people. You can call that paranoia if you want." Jim Richitelli, serving a 20 to 24 year sentence for armed robbery, said a man was thrust into a hostile environment where survival was the key from the beginning. The inmates, not the administrators, run the system, he said. "The strong mind and the strong arm rule." Richitelli said the prison system makes a man lose his self-respect. He said there was always a danger of having your money I end -Robinson, participated In a Perspective." W(QVS) In other action taken by the CGC, the committee passed a bill amending a 1957 statute which recently blocked a referendum to establish a Public Interest Research Group (P1RG) on campus. - To do so would require raising the current student activities fees limit above $20. According to the 1957 law, this would require a referendum in which at least 50 per cent of the student body voted, an event which is considered to be anywhere from highly unlikely to impossible at Carolina. . The bill, which was approved by the Rules Committee last week, originally changed the requirement for approval to read simply "two-thirds of those voting in a student election." However, CGC Representative Dixon Brown introduced a successful amendment that also requires that at least 20 per cent of the electorate come to the polls. Student Body President Marcus Williams' presented a bill which creates a three-month internship in Student Government this summer. The intern, who would be paid a salary of $3 per hour, would make a thorough study of students needs in a proposed new infirmary and, hopefully, establish some kind of effective student input into its planning. The council passed five bills clarifying ambiguities and closing loopholes in the campus election law. The bills required that the president of the Carolina Athletic Association be elected by a majority vote and that the full legal names of all candidates for offices appear on the ballots. Also, the bills tightened the definition of a campaign expenditure so as to consist of "any expenditures for materials, gratuities, or services for, or on behalf of, a candidate for office . . . which, by intent or effect, tends to advertise the name of a candidate, to endorse or support his candidacy, or to further his campaign by any means." The Executive Committee of the elections board would decide whether an expense fit into the category. The council also: Approved a new, streamlined constitution for the Student Consumer Action Union (SCAU). Merged the Student Academic Reform Committee and the Student Academic Advisory Committee into one body. Provided funding for the construction of waste-paper collection boxes in dotms. The measure, introduced by Dan Besse, intends for the paper collected to be recycled.

You can't report an incident like this, he said, because you know you've got to go back and live with whoever assaulted you. The current North Carolina penal system administration, Richitelli said, is responsible for keeping men locked up, not for rehabilitating them. There is- no alternative to incarceration in this state because the penal system is vastly underfunded, he said. "The cages are bigger for animals in a zoo." Richitelli said community-based programs would actually save the state money. A probation system would cost $ 1 39 a year per man, parole would cost $320 a year per man and a halfway house would 1 1 J fSsrih Centre! Ccrrcctlsn C-ni:r l.irr,it:r, procram entltlsd: "N.C.

The Navy recently has been Course-teacher evaluation mrvey by Christopher Turner Staff Writer A course-teacher evaluation of five departments begins this week. The evaluation is being conducted by the Course Teacher Evaluation Commission, a student group operating this year and next under a $15,000 grant from the Campus Governing Council and several other donors. The English and psychology departments will be evaluated this week, math and chemistry next week and political science during exam week. Commission chairman Mike Johnson said the surveys will reach more than 15,000 students. The program will be expanded next fall to include zoology, history and sociology, Johnson said. The questionnaire consists mainly of questions which have answers placed on a good-to-bad scale and questions open for comment at the end. Evaluation results will be printed up in booklet form and distributed early next fall, Johnson said. Responses will be presented in bar-graph form, so that good and bad points are easy to pick out. All raw data from the n cost $400 a year per man. Dr. Lee Bounds, former head of the N.C. Department of Corrections, said a halfway house was a residential facility, within a community, that is still under the authority of prison officials. The men and women are allowed to work or study in the community, he said, although they must stay at the halfway house at night. Bounds said the major thrust of the halfway house was the gradual reintegration of the person into community life, in contrast to the sudden change in going frm prison to parole. Richitelli said the North Carolina penal system needs an administration change to get younger men with more progressive ideas in charge. Community-based programs such as work-release and study-release have been effective in other states, he said, but the public in North Carolina is so unaware of poor conditions in prisons that they haven't supported such reform measures. The change from a Democratic to a Republican administration in Raleigh has dimmed hope for prison reform, Pvichitelli said. "You need to put people in the legislature who care about what's happening " he said, "people who care about change." Oscar Robinson, who has two years left to serve for an armed robbery conviction, said the parole board only looks at a man's case, which means they look at his record rather than talking with him. "You may never see the parole board," he said. Robinson said the parole board system is unfair because a man's record may not reflect a significant change in his attitude. Bounds said the parole board, which consists of only three men (to be expanded to five by July 1) should have professional qualifications and should serve more of a judicial function. He said positions on the board are usually political rewards and the high .turnover negates any seasoned experience among members. Robinson said prison officials would break up a situation if they ses a strong unity existing- among the prisoners, whils radical prisoners are often separated or moved to other units. He said there was needless harrassment by the guards who try to divide the blacks and whites. They work on the principle of divide the group, control the group, Robinson said. The program held in the Great Hall, was sponsored by the Inter-Fraternity Council. r -" -- - 7, it 4" 1 1 1 '-I 1 1 1 i Hit beg 5e this questionnaires will be given to the professor and to the department.
