WASHINGTON The House Ways
and Means Committee refused on a 22
14 vote Tuesday to include an end to the
oil depletion allowance in a pending
multibillion-dollar tax reduction bill.
Proponents of the oil depletion
repeal, led by Reps. Sam Gibbons, D
Fla., and William J. Green, D-Pa.f
promised to take the matter to the
House floor.
Committee chairman Al Ullman, D
Ore., swayed the committee against the
depletion repeal, promising to consider
it within the next 90 days as part of an
upcoming energy tax proposal. Ullman
warned that the depletion issue would
delay the tax cut, which he said is
gravely needed to stimulate the
economy.
To amend this bill in (this way at
Jhis time would be a very grave error
although I have publicly stated many,
times that I would support an end to the
depletion allowance," Ullman said.
Voting against repeal were 14
Republicans and 10 Democrats.
Fourteen Democrats, but no
Republicans, voted for repeal.
Ford said in Atlanta Tuesday that
while he would want to see the fine print,
he felt he could go along with the
committee's plan to junk his $12 billion
tax rebate in favor of a combination of
tax cuts and rebates mainly for
moderate- and low-income persons.
Ullman, who has promised to push a
tax cut bill through the committee by
the end of the week, said the oil

to stir student interest in

Armed with little more than a folding
table, a stack of mimeographed papers,
several hundred wallet-sized cards and a
treasury of about $7.50, a small band of
students is hoping to stir up about 19,000 of
their peers. .
This, so far, is the story of the Carolina
Coalition. It's ultimate goal is to become the
first serious student political party on
campus since the late 60s.
Mark Dearmon, co-founder and acting
chairman of the Coalition said last week,
"Even if this thing gets off the ground as a
group interested in Student Government, 1
think we've served our purpose."
Dearmon is interested in reaching the 96
per cent of the student body who didn't vote
in last month's Student Government (SG)
referendum. He hopes to have made the
Coalition familiar to at least some of them in
time for the Feb. 26 student election.

After interviews with several administrators, student
government officials and faculty members, the old adage
"publish or perish" continues to generate disagreement.
"It is not a dodge to say there are no stated requirements
for appointment publication or teaching requirements
there really aren't," Provost J. Charles Morrow III,
chairman of the Committee on Instructional Personnel, said..
His committee reviews all departmental staff
recommendations. .
Several of the other committee members agreed that their
own priorities were used in considering faculty applications,
rather than rigid University rules.
I don't have any standard requirements for applicants,"
Dean James R. Gaskin of the College of Arts and Sciences
said. "They varywith scholarly temperament and habits. Of
course, the most reliable manifestation of these habits is
publication; still, publication is only one. Some people do
books like hens lay eggs. Others don't. It varies." .
Vice-Chancellor Lyle V. Jones, dean of the Graduate
School, agreed, saying, "Publication depends on the
position. If publication is going to be part of his duties, it is
essential. In new appointments, everyone is hoping we have a
good researcher and a good teacher, but if he hasn't had
much opportunity to prove himself as a teacher, sometimes
we consider research more."
In contrast, however, Dean Edward G. Holley of the
School of Library Science, said, "I weigh publication very
heavily, because this is a 'research university. "
Nita Mitchell, Student Attorney General, said she is
certain that teaching is insignificant compared to publication
at Carolina. "Here the big thing they emphasize is how much
a person publishes, and how good a teacher he is really

depletion repeal would be irresponsible
procedurally and substantively when
the committee would immediately
consider energy taxes.
The half-century-old oil depletion
allowance allows oil and gas companies
to deduct 22 per cent of the income from
wells even before other tax deductions
are taken. It will mean, if not repealed,
$2.6 billion to oil companies this year.
Ford, who proposed a simple $12
billion rebate for all taxpayers, said,
through a spokesman in Atlanta, that he
would want to "read the fine print" after
the committee completes the bill; but he
felt the Ways and Means measures are
"not too far from what we proposed."
On Monday, the tax-writing
committee approved an $8.4 billion cut,
the first installment of a reduction for
low and moderate income individuals
which probably will grow to $ 1 5.3
billion or more.
A second installment, granting $6.9
billion or more in one-time rebates to
those earning less than $30,000 or
$40,000, and a third installment
granting business tax incentives of $3.6
billion or more, are yet to be decided by
the committee in its rush to complete the
tax cut bill by the end of the week.
The first $8.4 billion would come
from payment of up to $200 for the
working poor, plus an increase in the
maximum and ' minimum standard
deduction which would result in the last
half of this year.
; Ways and Means Chairman Al
Ullman, D-Ore., intends for these cuts
to become permanent, although this bill
covers only "1975.

"For years, campus politics has been
based on personalities," co-founder Ben
Steelman said. SG was not set up for getting
things done. K we get campus politics more
oriented toward taking stands on issues and
problems, we will have accomplished our
purpose."
According to original plans, the Coalition
would have nominated a slate of candidates
for various SG offices this month.
Instead, the organization will endorse
existing candidates. There are two main
reasons for this change in plans.
First, several members of the Coalition's
executive board and observers at party
proceedings protested the nominating plans.
Dan Besse, a Campus Governing Council
(CGC) representative but not a member of
the Board, said at one Coalition meeting,
"Unless you want to become a party per se,
nominating candidates would not be wise.
You'd look like a group of people trying to
elect themselves to office."
doesn't make any difference," she said.
"Not so, Provost Morrow says. "There are some people on
the faculty who do no teaching, some who do no research or
publishing . . . each person is different."
Patricia Z. Barry, assistant professor of health
administration, doubts if there are many professors wo
don't publish. "Selection and promotion are based on
performance, largely on your publications. I know of many
people who haven't been promoted just because they don't
publish," she said. "Still, I don't think publication is overly
stressed, because I think people in academics should be active
in their fields."
Dean Gaskin denies such rigid standards, claiming that
shifting standards are a necessity for UNC faculty. "In
probably every department in the college there are full
professors whose only value to the department, students and
the university as a whole, is just as a teacher. You've got to
keep the intellectual life of the department alive, so your next
appointment must usually be an intellectual, someone who
researches and publishes," he said.
Dr. Roy R. Kuebler, chairman of the Chancellor's
Advisory Committee, suggested that the University is
exceedingly lenient in considering a , teacher's publications
and research if his teaching record is superior. "A person is
supposed to publish a certain amount; this is evidence of
scholarly behavior," he said, but teaching, publication and
service to the University, these things balance off no one is
superior in all three."
William J. Peck, associate professor of religion, who has
taken a year off from his teaching to concentrate on research,
sees UNCs publication standards as mild compared to those
at some universities.
Some universities stipulate annual publication quotas
which all faculty members must fulfill to remain employed,
Peck said.

Within a few weeks, the $35,000 approved
by students in a 1973 referendum for a

to buy equipment and to begin construction

Final equipment estimates begun
campus AM station WCAR has begun final
estimates for equipment necessary to build
the FM station.
According to WCAR station manager
Gary Rendsburg, equipment costs should
not exceed $32,000. The main and auxiliary
transmitters and the antenna tower are some
of the more expensive pieces of equipment to
be purchased.
Once the FM station is broadcasting
possibly as early as fall, 1975 WCARAM
will probably continue broadcasting,
Rendsburg said. .
"That will eventually bV something The
new station manager will have to decide. The
AM station has a definite potential to make
money, but it is also a definite money
expender," he said.
By the middle of the summer, Chapel Hill
and the University will have another FM
station, WUNC, which has been unable to
broadcast since 1970 because of a storm
damaged transmitter.
Station director Donald M. Trapp, who
previously worked for the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting ir Washington D.C.,
said he was not in favor of the student FM
station because the frequency it will occupy
is designated for an educational, non
commercial station.

The Carolina Gay Association (CGA) is
suffering from its own "ineffective
governmental set-up," a CGA spokesman
said at a meetingMonday night, but in terms,
"UNC is far more benign in this than Harvard or
Yale...here it is much more tolerant."
"In order to do research with quality, I think professors
must take time out sometimes to catch up on their research,
for their own good, and for the good of their students. It's
certainly a temptation for a person to concentrate in one
area teaching especially in an institution like UNC where
good teaching is stressed."
Student Body President Marcus Williams emphasized the
importance of Carolina's publication standing nationally,
saying, !They stress publication just to stay well known
nationally. This university has the good reputation it has
because of a combination of both good teaching and good
research."
However, Richard William Viall, a graduate assistant in
the speech department, suspects that the university has more
selfish reasons for stressing publication. "I know in this
English department they're too hung up on publication; this
is a 'publish or perish university. This English department is
considered about number three in the country, and they want
to be number one," he said.
Dean Maurice W. Lee of the School of Business
Administration sees research as a vital reinforcement for
teaching. "Actually, a. man should be engaged in research in
his field of teaching; they should complement each other," he
said.
Dean IHolley concludes that there is a need for a balance of
teaching and researching. "I know there are a lot of people
who think that young professors who are exciting teachers
have little time for anything else, such as research. But, I
really don't buy this...I see this as an excuse for people who
have never published anything," he said.
"I'm also pot impressed by the statement, 'Gee, the
University let this exciting young professor go because he
didn't research, and they let that old deadhead researcher
stay...you need a balance'."

educational services such as those planned
by WUNC-FM.
Giving frequencies to stations such as
WCAR "shuts out the possibility that full
service public stations" can be set up, Trapp
said.
I think to use the frequency in this way is
a misuse. I think the frequencies are very
valuable, very precious things. Frequencies
are becoming scarcer and scarcer." .
Once the campus station is constructed,
the FCC will grant it an Equipment Test
Authority permit. "This allows us to turn on
thtry-fuicc-- and - run- tones o tesr-thc
equipment," Rendsburg said. "The test will
be made to make sure the frequency is not
fluctuating."
Following the equipment tests, the FCC
will grant a Program Test Authority permit,
which, according to Rendsburg, amounts to
a temporary license to broadcast.
The management of WCAR is also in the
process of selecting call letters for the FM
station. "WCAR" is presently licensed to a
station in Detroit. The present campus
station is allowed to use the same call letters
because its signal goes over carrier currents
instead of through the air.
Call letters being considered are WVFM,
WXYC, WTHR, WXYL and WCTH.
Rendsburg's decision on the call letters will
be made within a week.
of finances and future plans, he said it has
made progress in the last five months.
"Our biggest problem is reorganizing our
internal structure to meet the wider needs of
the gay community," the CGA member said.
Monday'smeeting, .attended by about 40
people, was a discussion of the relationship
of gay liberation to feminism. Of the 40
people, 10 were women, most of whom were
from the Triangle Are& Lesbian Feminist
group (TALF).
"We're trying to include lesbian groups
and so far our success in that area has been
meager," a member said.
Despite CG A's progress, the group has
had its problems.
"Only WDBS (the Duke University FM
radio station) and the Tar Heel will carry our
meeting announcements," Tom Carr, CGA
publicity director, said.
"I've sent announcements to WQDR,
WCHL, and the Chapel Hill Newspaper, the.
Raleigh News and Observer and other
publications," he said, "without getting any
results."
In terms of progress, however, CGA
officers and members agree that much has
been done but that much more has yet to
be done.
"I never thought at this time last year that
I'd be meeting in public with other gay
persons," a member said.

'76 will be
prosperous
by Rlchsrd H. Growald
Unltsd Press International
ATLANTA President Ford said
Tuesday the nation's economy "will get
better the further we go into 1976" and
predicted the situation will be good enough
for him to seek the presidency on his own.
Ford told a news conference concluding
his two-day southern visit that "the
economic situation in 1976 will be an
improving picture. I believe unemployment
will be going down and employment will be
going up.
"I think the economic circumstances will
be good enough to justify at least my seeking
re-election," Ford said.
He said "good old American free
enterprise" in the form of cash rebates to
purchasers of new cars had gotten the
economy "moving quicker than had been
anticipated."
Ford predicted that in 1976 the cost of
living will go up 7 per cent, compared with
the 12.2 per cent jump in the past year. He
contended this would be "a very significant
improvement, as it is not double-digit
inflation.
He said he expected the second and third
quarter of this year to produce a "switch on
the plus side," with a 5 per cent increase in
the Gross National product and possibly a
reduction in joblessness of 2 million.
Ford refused to discuss what he might do
if Congress rejects his economic and energy
proposals. Asked his reaction to the bill
approved by the House Ways and Means
Committee for an $8.4 billion income tax
rebate, Ford said T11 have to wait for the
final version.
"We've had changes in the last two or three
months that show the economy is developing
faster than expected," Ford said.
"The unusual, and I think successful,
marketing technique shown by the
automotive industry in the last few months,
and the. announcement that some of the
appliance manufacturers are going to use the
same techniques good old American free
enterprise I think this approach will have a
very good stimulus, not only to the economy
but to public confidence."
Wage and price controls, Ford said, "are
the worst kind of medicine I could possibly
see.". ' . t
Ford reiterated that- his proposals will
"make conditions better and avoid
rekindling of double-digit inflation. I hope
the Congress acts responsibly and I think it
will."
Some Democrats in Congress have said
Ford's proposed 1976 fiscal budget for the
Defense Department is bloated and should
be cut in favor of more funding for services
for poor and middle class Americans.
The CGA, formerly the Gay Awareness
Rap Group, held its first meeting in
September of last year. Because many
members did not wish to sign a membership
list, CGA faced the problem of getting funds,
from Student Government.
But in late October the Campus
Governing Council (CGC) approved $535
for CGA.
Carr said pamphlets, leaflets and other
literature for a library will be purchased with
the group's funds.
He said the literature will concern topics
such as the role of gays in society and gay
identity.
Carr said the library's location is not
definite at this time, but he said the Green
Room of Craige Dorm might be a
possibility.
CGA is also working to get an office in the
Union. "We have our name on a list, a
member said, "so all we can do b wait." If
Union space is acquired, members indicated
that the library will be established in the
Union office.
No women belong to CGA, according to
the group's secretary, but the men expressed
an interest that women join the group.
The women from TALF said they felt
"oppressed" by the men and did not want to
join in the CGA's group meetings on a
regular basis at this time.
