The UNC Board of Trustees
unanimously passed an academic and
physical five-year improvement plan
Thursday night.
In addition, the board rescinded
UNC's disruptions policy and
announced the officers of the recently
chartered "The Tar Heel One
Hundred."
The long range planning report for
the period of 1 975-1980 deals with
admission policies, enrollment
projections, academic and faculty
planning and budget projections.
The major concern for some of the
trustees was that the report did not
contain a specific cut-off point for
future enrollment.
Chancellor Ferebee Taylor pointed
out that the increased total enrollment
projection between 1 974 and 1 979 is
only 434 students. "What we are striving
for," Taylor said, "is minimal growth in
the areas where it is most needed."
New facilities costing over $50 million
are included . in the 189-page plan.
Among the extensive construction and
renovation proposals are air
conditioning and acoustical treatment
for Carmichael Auditorium and
Memorial Hall, a $5.37 million
educational and intramural facility, a
5,000 seat fieldhouse for. Kenan
Stadium and a Public Health and
Environmental Sciences Center costing
over $8.5 million.
The plan also calls for changes in
academic programs recommended to
the trustees by various University
departments and schools.
Along with similar documents filed
by other members of the consolidated
1 6-campus system, the f ,ve-year plan
will be submitted for budgeting and
planning purposes to President William
Friday Oct. 15.
The disruptions policy, adopted by
the former Board of Trustees, stemmed
from student and faculty
demonstrations during the Vietnam
War years. "During the period of
campus unre.st, Claiborne Jones, Vice
Chancellor for Business and Finance,
said, "although we had a sterling record
in comparison to a lot of campuses, we
felt that special measures had to be
taken. This was an emergency action
that at the time was deemed to be
necessary."
The policy empowered chancellors to
expell or suspend any faculty member of
student who engaged in activities which
disrupted normal University operation.
Disruptive activities included the
occupation of University buildings or
the blocking of their entrances and
corridors, blocking pedestrian or
vehicular traffic, damaging University
property and the use or display of
weapons or dangerous instruments.
Student Body President Marcus
Williams explained that the same kind

the new Student Judicial Governance
Law and will be tried m the student
courts.
Taylor proposed the rescission
because the Board of Governors
removed faculty members from the
application of the policy last April.
Board member Charles Jonas
objected to the rescission. "It was the
failure of the student body to govern
itself that may have prompted the
previous action by the trustees," Jonas
said. "Therefore, why should we drop
the policy?"
Taylor said he thought students are
responsible enough to handle this kind
of situation. The trustees then passed
the proposal to rescind the policy with
only Jonas dissenting.
The board also announced officers of
"The Tar Heel One Hundred."
According to Jonas, this organization
will serve in the same capacity as the
100-member trustee board did before
consolidation.
The new service association will
inform the trustees and chancellor of
expectations and attitudes of North
Carolinians with regard to UNC.
The officers are Archie K. Davis of
Winston-Salem, chairman; James B.
Garland of Gastonia, first vice
chairman; and Mrs, E.K. Powe HI of
Durham, second vice chairman.
Today will be partly cloudy, with a
chance of showers tonight. Highs today

Recommendation to sell passes 13-1
by Rick Reed
Staff Writer
A recommendation for the sale of three
University utilities was tentatively approved
Friday by the UNC Board of Trustees.
The trustees, voting 13-1 for the sale, also
recommended a local water and sewer
authority be established to purchase and
operate those utilities.
UNC Student Body President Marcus
Williams, an ex officio member of the board,
voted against the recommendation.
The University has not shown sufficient
reason to rid itself of any of its utilities,''
Williams said. At a news conference in
Raleigh Tuesday, Williams said, "The major
question, of course, is whether full,
unprejudiced consideration was given to all
bidders.)
The sale of the utilities was recommended
Sept. 27 by the state Utilities Study
Commission. The commission, which has

Next year another $300 will be added to that

The fantasy that Chapel Hill is somehow
immune from the problems of the rest of the
world is obviously evaporating. The alarm of
inflation rings just as clearly, though perhaps
not as vehemently, from the Bell Tower as it
does from the skyscrapers of Wall Street.
We don't get a single day's mail without
being notified that the price of something has
gone up," said Thomas Shetley, UNC
Student Stores general manager. I recently
received a telegram informing me of a price
increase superceding another notification
that had not yet arrived by airmail."
Shetley predicts the average price increase
of goods at the store over the entire year will
be at least 12 per cent and probably closer to
15 per cent. Similar increases can be
expected in the prices of food, clothing and

been studying the University's utility
situation for three years, recommended that
UNC sell its telephone system to Southern
Bell and its electric and water systems to
Duke Power Co.
Discussion at the trustee meeting centered
on Duke Power's reluctance to purchase the
water utility. The trustees' utilities
committee submitted a resolution calling for
the sale of the water and electric systems to
Duke Power and the establishment of a local
water and sewer authority.
The resolution, read by Ralph - N.
Strayhorn of Durham, suggested Duke
Power purchase the water system now with
an agreement to sell the utility to a local
authority, if it is formed.
Strayhorn pointed out that under the
terms of Duke Power's bid, the company is
required to construct a new reservoir to serve
the University and Chapel H ill communities.
Construction of the Cane Creek Reservoir is
expected to cost $8 million.

particularly books. The price of books,"
Shetley said, "has gone up more in the last 12
months than in the previous 5 years."
As prices rise, the value of summer
earnings and parents' savings plummets.
Many students are responding to the
economic squeeze by finding part-time jobs
to supplement money supplies. Over 6,000
students are on the University's payroll, and
hundreds of others hold jobs at off-campus
businesses. "More UNC students are
working their way through college now than
ever before, both in absolute numbers and
percentages," said Geer, who estimates that
at least half of the student body holds jobs.
Geer said more students arc working
primarily because there are, more job
opportunities. Restaurants like the Carolina
Coffee Shop, PJ's and the Porthole hire

When construction is completed, Duke
Power would sell the entire water system to a
water and sewer authority of Chapel Hill,
. Carrboro and possibly Orange County.
Strayhorn emphasized that Duke Power,
working under contract, could build the
reservoir faster than the University.
Trustee John A. Wilkinson of
Washington, said if the University kept the
water system, construction money would
have to come from the general assembly.
uWe all know what a mess that is,"
Wilkinson added.
Commenting on the refusal of the study
commission and the trustees to accept the
Town of Chapel Hill's lone sewer bid,
Strayhorn said the amount of the bid was not
sufficient to pay "full and fair value for the
University's 50 per cent interest."
The sewer system currently is owned
jointly by Chapel Hill and the University.
William E. Billingsley, assistant
superintendent of the University electric and
heating plant, objected to the resolution.
He asked the trustees to recommend
permanent sale to either Duke Power or an
authority, or recommend UNC retain the
systems. "It is unfair to employees to prolong
this agony indefinitely," Billingsley said.
The trustee, resolution also included an
amendment proposed by Charles R. Jonas
of Charlotte which urged the five-man sale
negotiations team appointed by the study
commission to prepare two separate
contracts with Duke Power.
One contract would be for the sale or lease
of the electric and water systems together.
The other would be for the electric system
only.
The second contract would be acceptable
to the trustees in the event the University is
eligible to receive federal money to construct
the water reservoir.
A HUD spokesman told trustee Thomas
W. Lambeth during the meeting that HUD
has matching funds of u"p to 100 percent for
local community water systems under its
Better Communities Act.
The 'HUD spokesman would not say
whether UNC could qualify under the act,
but said a state-supported university is
eligible.
If sale negotiations under Duke Power
and Southern Bell are approved by the
trustees, the recommendation will be
submitted for approval by the Council of
State and Gov. James Holshouser, Jr.

Davis was one of five UNC graduates to
receive Distinguished Alumnus Awards.
Now a gradute -student at UNC, Davis
spoke highly of his associations with
students and faculty.
"It has taken me 40 years to get over my
awe of the professors I had as an
undergraduate, and I need only say that awe
has come back," Davis said.
Davis said deep-seated factors such as the
energy crisis and inflation are responsible for
an increase in the importance of higher
education.
'"Therefore, we must clearly define or
redefine the University's role ... reassess
peripheral indulgences ... and avoid
bureaucratic strangulation through
regulatory processes," Davis said.
Davis also called for increasing
interaction and rapport between UNC, its
alumni and the community.
"The friends of the University simply must
stand up and be counted. There is a
tremendous reservoir of good will," Davis
said. "It simply needs to be tapped and the
time is now."

WAKE FOREST State Supreme Court
Justice I. Beverly Lake, Sr. has withdrawn
his support of Democratic Senate Candidate
Robert Morgan, who was Lake's campaign
manager in his unsuccessful 1960
gubernatorial bid.
In a weekend letter to several of his
supporters. Lake said he could no longer
back Morgan.
Lake, who.has contributed at least $1,000
to the Morgan campaign, took exception to
Morgan's recent remarks at an NAACP
meeting in Charlotte. Morgan said he served,
as Lake's manager only because he was
Morgan's law professor at Wake Forest
University.
Lake's I960 campaign carried a
segregationist theme. He lost to former Gov.
Terry Sanford in the Democratic primary.
In his letter and an attached statement.
Lake said he was proud of his campaign and
felt at the time he was discussing a relevant
issue. Morgan had urged him to make the
race, and it appeared Morgan was
apologizing for his role in the campaign.
Lake said.
Lake declined Sunday to comment further
on his move.
Morgan, in' a statement released from his
Raleigh headquarters, said he was

University with its two millionth.

Hunting and Heraldry, one of only eight
known first printings, was compiled in 1481
by an anonymous schoolmaster of St.
Albans, England.
Earlier, a bronze plaque designating the
Playmakers Theatre as a National Historic
Landmark was presented to Chancellor N.
Ferebee Taylor.
Vice Chancellor William F. Little traced
the building's role through the University's
history.
"This building was begun as a result orl5
years of student agitation for the
construction of a ballroom," Little said.
After dancing was forbidden on campus in
1855. the building was used solely as a
library. Then, in 1924, the trustees
authorized its renovation as a theatre for
dramatic productions.
R.J. Rogers of Atlanta, regional
landmark coordinator of the Southeastern
Division of the National Park Service,
presented the plaque and a certificate to

"disappointed to learn that I would no
longer have the support of Dr. I. Beverly
Lake in my campaign for the United States
Senate.
"Our friendship began when he was my
law professor and 1 have always considered
him ft friend. Certainly, I would like to have
his tupport as I would like to have the
support of every North Carolinian." Morgan
said.
J.D. Butler of Burlington, who worked for
Lake campaigns in 1960 and 1964. said
Lake's letter raised the question of whether
Morgan had gone over to the NAACP and
the Sanford wing of the party.
In addition, the letter said Lake saw no
reason for his former supporters to back
either Morgan or his GOP opponent,
William Stevens. He advised his former
supporters to devote their efforts to
formation of a third party and added that if
one was formed. "I'm ready to join."
In reference to Morgan's appearance
before the NAACP, Lake said Morgan gave
the impression he "yielded rather reluctantly
to the request of an old friend" to run the
campaign. He added, "Nothing could be
further from the truth."
"Neither Mr. Stevens nor Mr. Morgan can
be depended upon to represent ... in the U.S.
Senate the thousands" of voters who backed
Lake in I960 and 1964, the letter said.
