"CGC was just a lot of rinky-dink, as far as I
could see.
This disparaging view of the 22-member
Campus Governing Council (CGC) was not
offered by an outside observer or a disappointed
lobbyist but by an elected CGC representative.
Richard Bowerman, a medical student who
was elected to CGC last March, said the rinkyr
dink attitude which he noticed in the council is
one of the reasons he will submit a statement of
resignation to speaker Johnny Kaleel this week.
Bowerman, who represents Graduate District
IV, which consists of the Schools of Medicine
and Education," is only one of four CGC
representatives who are not returning to their
seats this year. A fifth has not yet been located.
Besides Bowerman, Ian Cooper (Graduate
District II), Lee Harris (Off-Campus V) and
Rick Turner (Off -Campus IV) are not returning.
Cooper resigned last week, and Harris and
Turner had to give tip their undergraduate seats
after they graduated last spring.
Robin Dorff, who represents Graduate
District V, has not yet been contacted by CGC
this year.
Another reason Bowerman said he is giving up
. his seat is the time element involved with CGC.
"I'm a medical student, and the work (for CGC)
is a little harder than I anticipated."
The council meets on alternate Tuesday
evenings, and the meetings usually last a
minimum of two hours. In" addition, each
representative is assigned to a committee.
Depending on the legislation before the
Council at a given time, a member may have to
attend several hours of committee meetings each
week.
"The meetings were a little time-consuming,
considering the work that had to be done,
Bowerman said.
"We were just yes-men for the committees. We
would sit and argue over a bill that was approved
by committee for half an hour, make a few minor
wording changes, and approve it.
Bowerman, who wa elected as a write-in
candidate with 15 votes, said he decided to run
for the seat after nobody had filed for the original
election. "I had always thought Student
Government was kind of 'Mickey Mouse. 1
thought it would be interesting to run and see
how it works.
Asked if he didn't consider the responsibilities
that went with the seat, Bowerman said, "Of
course I realized there would be a responsibility,
but 1 had no idea what it would be.
Speaker Kaleel said he learned of Bowermans
impending resignation only last week. "He called
and told us he didn't want to work with CGC this
year and hung up.
Kaleel said he had also spoken with Cooper,
and the two had agreed that Cooper should step
down!
Cooper's decision to resign was strikingly
similar to that of Bowerman. Now a Ph.D.
student in math, Cooper was elected by four
write-in votes last March after no one had filed
for the original election.
He said he was asked to serve by several
people in his district, which is composed of 13
graduate departments. "I had no conception of
what it was, he said.
"Last year, I was in the MBA (Masters in
Business Administration) program, and this year
I'm in the Ph.D. program, and that's a greater
strain on my time," he said. He added that he was
married over the summer, and wanted to spend
more of his evenings at home.
Cooper said his main impression of CGC was
that, "it was rather large and unwieldy. I just
didn't feel like going on.
He said he did not feel he was ignoring the
responsibility his post carried to his
constituency. "My constituency basically
consisted of the four people who wrote me in. It
wasn't the greatest politically oriented district in
the world.
Besides the four who wrote in Cooper's name,
there were no other votes cast for a CGC
representative in Graduate District II.
A similar voting pattern existed in the two off
campus undergraduate districts that elected
seniors to represent them last spring.
Lee Harris and Rick Turner were both elected
as write-in candidates Harris with three votes.
Turner with two.
Harris was editor of the Cellar Door last year,
and Turner was involved with the Sailing Club.
Kaleef said he felt these representatives ran only
to provide their organizations with a stronger
voice during budget hearings. "The only time I
remember Turner speaking up was when we were
discussing the Sailing Club appropriations.
Kaleel said he believes seniors should be
discouraged from running for the council if they
cannot serve out their terms. He said there w ere
about six vacancies due to graduating seniors
last year.
Asked if he would support legislation
preventing second -semester seniors from
running for undergraduate seats, Kaleel said, "I
think it would be a good idea." :
Kaleel said any change in legislation would
probably have to be proposed by the Elections
Board, but the CGC must approve any change in
the elections law.
"It would be hard to do because everyone has a
right to run even if they can only serve a few
months," Kaleel said. "But it puts us in a hell of a
mess."
Kaleel said one possibility to consider would
be to elect CGC representatives in the fall instead
of the spring. But he added that such a system
would mean "there would be no Student
Government for the first month of school."
Neither Turner nor Harris are believed to be
still living in Chapel Hill, and could not be
located.
What kind
of grade
is a mty-
All courses dropped after the official
drop-add period and not replaced by
added courses will be recorded on
students' permanent records, beginning
this semester
The letter "W" will indicate a student
dropped a course with a passing grade
after Sept. 4. As before, an "F will be
recorded for students who withdraw
failing. ; 7 ' ' .
This procedure is in contrast to the
previous policy of erasing dropped
courses from permanent records, except
for courses dropped with a failing grade.
The notation "F" is not a grade and is
not considered in the determination of
quality point averages.
The new recording procedure is
intended to make academic records
more descriptively accurate, according1
to General College Assistant Dean
Donald C, Jicha.
It is hoped the notation will also
discourage students from over
registering with the explicit intention of
dropping a course, Jicha said.
Over-registration has become a
common practice among students.
Unfortunately, what benefits some
students causes hardship for others
since the over-registration practice often
closes-out courses to interested
students, Jicha said.
A significant number of "W"
notations on a student's transcripts may
stimulate the curiousity of persons
reviewing it, Jicha said.

Shoppers may bring traffic
by George Basco
Staff Writer
Residents of Fidelity Street and Davie
Road in Carrboro are protesting a proposed
shopping village to be constructed in that
area because of its possible adverse effects.
A request by the. firm of Browning and
Hern for a zoning change for construction of
the shopping center has resulted in petitions
by local residents opposing the change.
The shopping center will consist of about a
dozen stores with a total floor space of over
100,000 square feet, and will cost nearly $2
million.
Victor Schoenbach, the only local resident
to attend a public hearing held on the
proposal last Tuesday night, claims that
unless something is done, the Carrboro
Board of Aldermen will pass the proposal
because of "economic reasons and a desire
for developmental growth."
Schoenbach, however, has aroused
considerable concern among local home
owners. Their protest deals with the three issues of
traffic and added services, visual impact and
economics.
The residents claim that with a shopping
center will come a dramatic increase in
traffic in their residential area. They also
claim the increased traffic will interfere with
pedestriansand bicyclists.
Schoenbach cites the possibility of street
repair, due to increased traffic. He said there
is even greater probability of drainage
problems and increased sewer costs, arising
from parking lot paving.
As for the visual impact of the center on
those who walk, drive, bike or live along
Fidelity Street, Schoenbach said, "We would
much rather look out on open space than
parking lots, cars and storefronts."
Schoenbach believes the center could hurt
downtown Carrboro economically by
creating an "alternative downtown."
uWe don't think there should be a
shopping center," Schoenbach said, "but if
one must be built, we would like to minimize
the adverse effects on the people of
Carrboro." .
A petition circulated by Schoenbach and
other residents propose four points in the
event that the Planning Board nevertheless
decides to recommend approval.
Access to the center be directed from
Fidelity Street and Davie Road to Jones
Ferry Road; -
Shops be put along the street and
parking lots in back, as in downtown Chapel
Hill;
Open space around the shopping center
be landscaped;
The Carrboro aldermen consider
changing the zoning of the center so the
community retains some control over future
development.
The Carrboro Planning Board will
consider the zoning change request during its
Tuesday meeting, 7:30 p.m. in the Carrboro
Town Hall.

A new plan for physical and academic
improvements at UNC calls for $57.5 million
in construction and the addition of extensive
new undergraduate and graduate programs
over the next five years.
Included in the plan, introduced to the
Board of Trustees Friday, are proposals for
10 new multi-million dollar campus
buildings as well as expensive additions to
several already existing structures.
The plan still must be approved by the
trustees, the General Administration and
Consolidated University President William
CT 'Fridaybef orVTt can -be-submitted tp the
North Carolina General Assembly next year.
While the 1 72-page plan calls for extensive
renovations and construction, student
enrollment is expected to remain relatively
stable in the five-year period covered by the
plan.
The plan calls for.
An $8,575,000 Public Health and
Environmental Sciences Building to be
linked with the existing School of Public
Health.
5,000 seats and a new dressing and
training room complex to be added at a cost
of $3 million to the west end zone of Kenan
Stadium. The additional seats will make the
football stadium the largest in the state.
Improving the acoustics and installing
air conditioning in Carmichael
Auditorium $720,000.
Air conditioning and renovating
Memorial Hall $1.25 million.
A physical education and intramural
sports building, to help meet the needs of
women's sports and physical education
$5.37 million.
A sports complex on Finley Golf
Course to include an athletic building
housing an indoor track, other athletic
courts, dressing rooms, showers and a
parking area for 500 automobiles and 12
tennis courts with seats for 2,000 spectators.
A family and community health
sciences building to be constructed as an
addition to the medical school $2 million.
Construction of a research building at
N.C. Botanical Gardens $1 million.
Two additions to existing buildings will be '
constructed:
Six new floors to the Student Store's
building to cost $4.25 million, for
administrative offices and services.
Addition to Institute of Government
$1 million.
The administration is also considering
plans for an addition to the Student Union
and for renovations to South Building.
The library system, according to the plan,
will also , undergo extensive changes
"perhaps involying'-buHding-in the- near
future. Plans call for a new center-campus
research library.
Administrators predict the number of
volumes in the library to more than double
from two to five million by 1990.
The increase in volumes will be primarily
due to the acquisition of publications
"essential to the work of the University"
which the library has not purchased during
the last 15 years because of budget
limitations.
Plans also call for an addition to Wilson
Library to be finished by 1977. The addition
will be completely full by 1982,
administrators predict.
The following changes in curriculum are
also being considered:
Development of a bachelors degree
program in administration of justice being
planned by philosophy, psychology,
political science and sociology departments.
Development of a general
communications degree program for those
interested in problems of the media but who
do not wish to enter professional training
programs in the departments of journalism
and radio, television and motion pictures.
Instituting majors in humanities,
actuarial science, logic and foundations of
mathematics, applied physics, human
biologYi-applied mathematics and dance.
Developing a Junior Year in Germany
program in conjunction with Davidson
College.
The School of Social Work is considering
instituting a Department of State Services to
provide continuing education for personnel
in the state's human service agencies.
The Center for Urban and Regional
Studies plans to develop a professional
development program for planners and a
data management and information service.
The graduate school is considering
instituting doctoral degrees in library science
and school psychology, a master of fine arts
in radio, television and motion pictures and
a master's degree program in accounting.
Gallo to debate UFW
E & J Gallo Winery representative Rick
Brank has accepted a Chapel Hill Friends of
the United Farm Workers challenge to a
public debate.
United Farm Workers (UFW)
representatives challenged Brank to the
debate during a press conference following
UFW President Cesar Chavez's Wednesday
speech in Memorial Hall.
Brank first agreed to let the UFW Group
make arrangements for the debate but later
said he wanted the Daily Tar Heel to arrange
the meeting because, "Frankly, those (UFW)
people scare me."
The UFW challenge came after Brank
denied Chavez's charges that Gallo workers
receive low wages and that Gallo imported
illegal Mexican aliens to break the strike.
The debate is tentatively set for Oct. 9 in
Union rooms 212-214. Questions will be
taken from the audience.
