Three of every four U NC students find the
University's explanations of course
requirements confusing. : :
This result was found in a recent poll of
176 undergraduates conducted by Bill Bates,
a member of the Student Government
Association.
The poll also found that many students
feel the drop-add period should be extended,
that they consider student advisors more
helpful than faculty advisors, and that they
feel the Daily Tar Heers i coverage of
academic affairs is inadequate.
Bates, an Academic Affairs Committee
member, polled 1 76 students by phone in late
November.
The survey did not deal with the
University's requirements themselves, but
with the quality of information about those
policies and both registration and drop-add.
Although 86 per cent of the respondents
rated their knowledge of academic policies
good or fair, only 28 per cent thought the
policies were "presented in a clear and

Freshmen come in and don't have anywhere

Bates recommends publishing a pamphlet
with information on registration. General.
College requirements, pass fail regulations
and the like to send to students.
Such information can now be found in the
Undergraduate Bulletin.
"The drop-add figure was probably the
most deviant. I was surpsied how many
people hadn't been satisfied, Bates said.
Of the students polled, 86 per cent felt the
drop-add period should be extended.
While only 27 per cent of the students said
they have used their student academic
advisor, a service provided by the Academic.
Affairs Committee, 30 of the 48 who had
rated their advice excellent or good.
About three of every five student's
questioned (106 of 176) indicated they
weren't satisfied with student input into
academics.

and seniors from the different academic

"We're all here for an education,ite said.
"Students don't really have a voice."
" Donald C. Jicha, Associate Dean of the
General College, however, said, I don't
think I could have as successful an
organization as I have now with students
instead of faculty.
"It's not flawless, 1 know. But this job
involves a heck of a lot more than any
student can take on."
Bates study also found that over two
thirds of those interviewed (68 per cent) felt
the Daily Tar Heel provided insufficient
coverage of academic affairs.
In a section of the survey that was given to
freshmen only, 68 per cent (34 of 50) of those
surveyed said they felt the orientation
program was excellent or good, and 76 per
cent (38 of 50) replied they were satisfied
with their orientation counselor.
Bates said these figures showed freshmen
desired a "personal perspective on
orientation. From what I know, they (the
Orientation Commission) are striving for
that."
Bates conclusions are included in a report
which must go now before the Academic
Affairs Committee for amendment and
approval.
Lisa Bradley, chairman of the committee,
said The information is mainly for our own
purposes to find out what we ought to be
involved in."

Carrboro Mayor Robert Wells withdrew
his resignation at a press conference Dec. 27
and said he will probably seek another term
of office next year.
Wells submitted his resignation to the
Carrboro Board ( Aldermen Dec. 12, citing
dissension on the board as one of the main
reasons for his decision.
Tensions on the board have resulted
recently in shouting matches and personal
squabbles between members. At the time of
his resignation, Wells said town business
was being conducted in a "slap-happy way."
Wells said Wednesday that he commented
sufficiently on his decision at his press
conference and prefers looking forward to "a
new 1975 for the town and people of
Carrboro."
At his press conference, however. Wells
said his threat awakened the board and
taught it that municipal government is not a
toy.
He said several board members have
agreed with his stand and have indicated
they will try to put individual differences
aside to resolve conflict.
Wells also received letters and phone calls
of support from Carrboro citizens after his
resignation announcement.
All the aldermen, except Braxton
Foushee, urged him to reconsider his
resignation, Wells said.
Several residents also spoke out in support
of the mayor at board meetings, including
Vic Schoenback, who suggested Wells
consider transcendental meditation as a
means of limiting tensions during board
meetings.
Frank Chamberlain, Carrboro town
manager, resigned his post at the same time
as Wells. He refused to comment on his or
Wells' decisions.
Chamberlain's resignation is effective Jan.
12 and he has already accepted a new job.
should be filed at market value, not purchase
price.
n ' Those listing property wiir receive a tax
bill in pctbbeT for'approximateiy k-75 per
cent of the value listed, with slight variations
between the towns and the county.
Properties values at $300 or less will not be
taxed, although they must still be listed by
law.
Residents with cars registered to county
addresses will receive tax bills even if they
don't file. But car owners who fail to file will
also receive late fines of 10 per cent of the
auto's market value.
The state Department of Motor Vehicles
supplies tax officials with ownership lists.
Personal property taxes are used to
finance local services.
Listing personal property is considered an
essential requirement for changing to in
state tuition and 75 per cent of the jury list
comes from the property list.
Persons who listed in Orange County last
year and who live at-the same address.es.
should have received a property tax form in
the mail and need not appear before the tax
lister.
