Mclver dorm resident Barbara Earnheart
added a $10,100 emotional damage claim
last week to her $1 -million law suit against
the University Housing Department.
The amended complaint says Earnheart
"suffered actual damages to her emotional
well-being, and otherwise, to the extent of
$10,100." This action follows the state
Attorney General's office's March 17 motion
to dismiss the case on grounds that punitive
damages are not recoverable in breach of
contract suits.
Immediately after Earnheart's new
complaint was filed, the Attorney General's

South Vietnamese recapture key city
. SAIGON South Vietnamese troops striking back Sunday reoccupied the key coastal city
of Nha Trang. Other government military units and police have begun boarding refugee
packed evacuation ships and executing suspected Communist agents on the spot, an
American witness said.
The return to Nha Trang, 188 miles northeast of Saigon, was the first major move by
government forces to recapture territory lost to the Communists in a three-week blitzkreig.
Rebels threaten Phnom Penh lifeline
TAIPEI Taiwan began a one-month period of mourning Sunday for Nationalist
President Chiang Kai-shek, leader of China for half a century who was defeated and driven
from the mainland by Communist forces.
Vice President C.K. Yen, a 70-year-economist who helped turn Taiwan from a
semitropical islar.d of rice and sugar cane into an industrial enclave, was sworn in as president
about 12 hours after Chiang's death.
But the real power passed to the generalissimo's eldest son, Russian-educated Premier
Chiang Ching-kto, 65, who has been running the Nationalist government since 1972 for his
ailing father.
Taiwan mourns for dead president
PHNOM PEN H Rebel Communist forces Sunday attacked this beseiged capital from
all sides and rained rockets on its airport in another attempt to sever the city's lone remaining
link to the outside world.
But the rocket attack still failed' to stop the American airlift which has become Phnom
Penh's only way to bring in supplies. At least two of the U.S. planes left with some U.S.
embassy personnel, including Cambodian workers. - ;

budget cuts, the subcommittee moved to
reduce state funds for the 16-campus
university system by $70.5 million over the
next two years.
... The proposed tuition increases would
provide $36. 1 million in revenue during the
1975-77 biennium to be used for spending
items which would otherwise come from the
general tax fund revenues.
The subcommittee's actions were the first
major budget-cutting attempts made since
the General Assembly was told last week that
the proposed state budget for 1975-77 would
have to be cut by $232 million.
UNC President William C. Friday said
Sunday the UNC Board of Governors will
oppose the subcommittee's unexpected

Government manipulation of food
supplies, not overpopulation, is the cause of
the present worldwide food shortage,
comedian and political activist Dick
Gregory said Savurday.
Gregory highlighted Survival Day, the
concluding festival of the Survival
Symposium. Some 600 people clustered on
Henderson Residence College lawn to hear
Gregory at first joke, then warn seriously of
coming food riots, skyrocketing food prices
and possible U.S. takeover, by fascist powers.
"I didn't come here to scare you or
nothing," he said, "but those of you who had
a big Christmas dinner last year, I hope you
took a picture of it" ; -
office, serving as the University's legal
counsel, moved once more to dismiss the
suit, this time on grounds that actual
emotional stress damages do not apply to
breach of contract cases. The defense motion
also stated that there has been no actual
breach of contract.
The original suit filed March 7, seeks to'
prevent the housing department from
moving Earnheart out of 214 Mclver.
Earnheart moved into the room at the
beginning - of , this semester, but housing
director James D. Condie told her that two
other Mclver residents who also signed up
for the. room could move her out if they
wished.

these for cuts to be made," he added.
The proposed budget cut which affects
enrollment growth would create severe,
problems, Friday said, because the money is
needed to cover last year's over-acceptance
of students and the increased number of
students who have already been accepted for
next year.
. V .Friday said the subcommittee's proposals
must be approved now by the Senate Budget
Committee and be discussed on the floor of
both the House and Senate before a vote is
taken.
UNC Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor said
Sunday the subcommittee's proposals would
have "very severe and very unfortunate
effects on the University of North Carolina

Senator Smith, a member of the
subcommittee, said Sunday, its proposals
were unanimously decided upon and its

Gregory also said the increasing sugar
prices were manipulated by the government.
"We believe we're the most informed
nation, the most educated nation and the
most sophisticated nation, but we're nothing
but a bunch of fools," Gregory said.
"Somewhere down the line we have to find
a means of dealing with this trickery" and
government deception, he added.
But Gregory said he believes American
youth has a great moral force and can help
change this country, he said, because they're
questioning the establishment.
Still, the youth must inform others that
conditions need changing, he said. "This
country is in critical shape. But the young
people can help t"
At one point, an audience member
shouted that Gregory's claims were
claims, the housing department will have to
start contracting with students for rooms of
their choice rather than for available dorm
space.
Raymond Yasser, an associate attorney
general handling the University's defense on
the case, said there has been no breach of
contract since Earnheart still lives in the
disputed room. In January, Condie, the only
individual named as a defendant, authorized
Susan East and Jody Weber to move
Earnheart out to solve the room assignment
mixup.
When the two other residents asked
Earnheart to trade rooms, she refused,
saying she was contesting Condie's decision.

Smith Building room not available
By Art Eisenstadt
Staff Writer
A proposed shift of the Human
Sexuality Counseling and Information
Service (HSCIS) from the Union to
Smith Building has been postponed
after Student Government learned
Friday that the Smith room would not
be available next year.
Human Sexuality had been assigned
to move into Smith this Tuesday by
David Smith, Student Government
secretary for internal affairs, as part of a
general Student Government office
reorganization.
Feeling the relocation would harm
their program, the counseling service
"had planning to appeal the order to
move during a meeting with Bates this
morning.
June Maxwell, administrative
secretary of the statistics department,
told Smith Friday morning the room in
the Smith Building would not be
available to move there.
; "This is a room that has always been
under the control of the statistics
department," Maxwell said Sunday.
"We're going to need it next year. As of

members would be glad to consider
alternative plans which the Board of
Governors might suggest He said the
proposals have already been reported to the
budget committee, but as yet they have not
been discussed. Smith also said the
proposals, if approved by the full committee,
would probably be discussed on the Senate
floor around June 1st
Smith said the proposals were made in
light of the fact that appropriations for
higher educations have gone up 540 per cent
over the last 10 years while those for public
schools have only doubled.
Also considered in the subcommittee's
decision, he said, was the fact that only 20
per cent of the population benefit from
higher education in North Carolina while 80
per cent benefit from public schools.
"I wouldn't say that we are cutting back
the appropriations for higher education. We
are merely cutting back on requested
increases in that budget."

nonsense. Incensed, Gregory let epithets fly
and then said he would not lie to a group of
young people whose job it is to change the
country.
He also expressed disapproval of the
government's lack of commitment to foreign
food aid.
"We can supply the whole world with
napalm, but not with food," Gregory said.
"We must say to the world that we're not
going to let America manipulate food."
He said the population problem iS
nonexistent since enough land exists to feed
40 billion people.
But the government will deliberately
create food riots, Gregory predicted, adding
that the Los Angeles Police Department
started planning for food riots five months
ago. . - ;
hesitated to rely on his memory due to the.
technical nature of the claim.
Vanore said the U.S. Middle District
Court in Greensboro probably will not hear
the case for some time. The suit, all amended
complaints and defense motions will be
heard at that time, he said.
Vanore also confirmed that the Attorney
General's staff advised housing department
personnel not to comment on questions by
the press. Once a suit is in litigation, clients
are usually asked to refer questions to their
attorney, Vanore said.
Condie has said he will comment on the
suit after it has been brought to court.
Student resident advisers and residence
directors involved in the room dispute have
said they also were told not to comment on .
the case.
The first motion for dismissal said the
punitive damages Earnheart claimed in the
original suit are not recoverable in breach of
contract cases. Earnheart's attorney. Gene
Dodd, then added the actual emotional
damage claim to the suit.

Friday morning, they (HSCIS) are not
going to be moving into Smith
Building."
The room has been used by the
Campus Program Council this year.
Under Smith's plan, the program
council will be moved. into the Union.
The Residence Hall Association (RH A)
is slated to shift from its current Suite A
office to the sex counseling offices in
Suite B.
The Campus Program Council was
established last year to help dormitories
obtain entertainment. It was chaired by
Mike O'Neal, now a Bates adviser.
Under Smith's plan, the program
council would be located in an adjoining
office to RHA, also formerly run by
O'Neal.
"This is something Bill (Bates) and I
discussed," Smith said of the proposed
moves. "It was done with a strong desire
to locate Student Governmiht
organizations in proximity with each
other."
Human Sexuality was unaware of the
plans until it received a memorandum
from Smith last Wednesday detailing
the moves.

"We have had a very unique dietary
pattern with our fixation on steers," she said.
Food is not an agricultural problem to be
solved by experts but a fundamental human
right. "With this revolutionary recognition
we must look beyond the shriveled bodies on
T.V. to the reasons food is denied certain
people," Lappe said.
Lappe outlined areas in which responsible
decision-making could correct inequities.
"Military assistance needs reforms; it is
twice that of human assistance," she said.
"Our aid, in terms of per cent of GN P, is one
tenth as much as the days of the Marshall
Plan."
Multi-national corporations need
adjustments, since their investments deny
the poorer countries returns on a large
percentage of their resources or products,
Lappe said. International trade and
monetary policy also need reform.
Also included in the forum were Robert
Dennis, executive director of Zero
Population Growth (ZPG) and Robert
Theobald, author of The Guaranteed
Income.
Dennis told the Great Hall audience that

service said, "We were stunned, and 1
guess our first reaction was
incredulousness. No one could believe
it."
Counseling Service's Thomas and
Jerry Noble said they believe the
counseling service can run a better
program in the Union, a student
operated building, than in Smith, a
classroom and office building.
"This is a peer counseling service, not
a clinical facility," Thomas said. "Part
of what we want to do is to reach people
who are anxious or don't want to go to a
professional clinic. It is important to
reach people in an informal setting."
"1 don't really see it as such a drastic
move," Smith said. "The people who use
this service would go to Smith Building.
If they're doing as much service as they
say, whether it is in Smith Building or
the Union wouldn't make a difference.'
But Noble said, "Smith's contention
is that people make a decision to come
(to the Counseling Service) before they
leave their dorm room. We like to be in
the Union because people who are
anxious can stop and have a cup of
coffee, and then come upstairs and
chat."

on national, state and individual levels.
"You can support ZPG as a regular lobby
in Washington, as well as writing to your
congressman to tell him how you feel about
certain bills" he said.

with Jesse Helms being the strongest
member of the compulsory pregnancy camp
in congress. He would have abortions made
unavailable for any reason, even to save a
woman's life."
Dennis also suggested that the individual
limit his family size.
Theobald, a noted socio-economist
stressed the need for changes in learning and
analytical processes in order to improve the
present human condition. "Learning takes
place in the gaps of knowledge and not in
what we think we know."
He said the process of learning involves
saying things that may not make sense so you
can get them out in the open to discuss them.
Instead of arguing that one's own opinion .
is superior, Theobald urged the audience to
listen to the other opinions and add them to
their store of knowledge. :
"We must create a system " based on
believing that people are capable of rising to
challenges and making their own decisions "
he said. '
Theobald advocated a guaranteed income
system, an income maintenance plan for the
middle class, a voucher system for creating
different types of schools with state funds
and decriminalizing all victimless crimes. :
Thomas added that the room in
Smith Building is a single unpartitioned
space. The service's current offices are
divided into two rooms, one used for
administrative work and the other for
private counseling.
The counseling room is kept locked
when not in use because personal
records are stored there. The Smith
room could not be locked because it has
access to a fire escape.
"With the severe limitations in office
space, we feel the moves will be to the
improvement of the other
organizations," Smith said. "1 feel we're
giving them just as much office space.
We're not giving anybody the shaft."
