APO offers book co-op again
Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity is
again offering students an alternative to
the student bookstore through its book
co-op, which will be in operation
through next Friday in the Great Hall.
Will Long, project chairperson,
explained how the co-op works:
Students with books to sell can bring
them to the Great Hall and fill out a form
with their name and the price at which
they would like to sell the books. Books
Bates hopes to gain
support on proposals
by Nancy Mattox
Staff Writer
With slightly more than two months
remaining in his politics-plagued
administration. Student Body President Bill
Bates is optimistic he can gain the support of
the Campus Governing Council and
University governing bodies for his
academic and administrative reform
proposals.
When asked about his sometimes
controversial relationship with CGC, Bates
replied, "It seems most of the petty politicos
have quit playing. Hopefully they've gone to
other games." .
Bates said he hopes that as many concepts
as possible discussed during the Nov. 22-23
Student-Faculty-Ad ministration
Conference will be developed. A conference
follow-up committee, which is meeting this
week, is expected to recommend the addition
of voting students to the new Committee on
Educational Policy established by the
Faculty Council last fall. This plan for the
addition of students will be sent to the
faculty Committee on University
Government when complete, Bates said.
Bates said the conference, held at Camp
New Hope, was often marked by heated
discussion on several university problems
and possible solutions.
One handicap of the session, Bates said,
was that, due to limited time, the entire
group of 39 instructors, students and
administrators never discussed the outcome
of the meetings and set priorities, but several

WASHINGTON After a month in the

city jail, G. Bryan Gainous Jr. looks healthy.
He says he has been eating well and working
out every day, determined to come out of jail
stronger and even more energetic than he
was before he was arrested.
Gainous, a former UNC student, is
awaiting trial on charges of illegally
entering the White House grounds. Twice.
After dark on Nov. 26, 1975 and again on
Dec. 6, Gainous allegedly climbed the White
House fence, jumped over and ran across the
yard toward the door. The second time, he
reportedly got within a few inches of Susan
Ford before Secret Service agents grabbed
him and carried him to jail.
But Gainous does appear to be worried.
Not about the crimes for which he has been
charged, or his trial, or lawyers or bail. What
apparently concerns him is the publication

proposals seemed to have the general
consent of those attending. These included
the establishment of a consortium in which
administrators, faculty, and students could
work together on a continuing basis with a
little authority, the establishment of several
task forces (one possibly dealing with the
University's racial problems), the opening to
the public of honor court trials and several
academic reforms.
In regard to academic reform, Bates said
he soon hopes to present CGC with an
academic program for consideration. In
compliance with campaign promises he
made last spring, the program will include
plans to have class schedules mailed to
students, the extension of drop-add and
pass-fail sign-up and the compiling of all
academic information into one student
booklet.
One problem Bates said he sees in mailing
class schedules is that many students have
incorrect permanent mailing addresses.
Bates said he is currently working with Ray
Strong, University director of records and
registration, to solve the problem.
In long-range plans, Bates said he will
work to support the successful passage of a
bond referendum March 23 which will
provide funds for the construction of a new
gymnasium and other projects at UNC.
When asked if he plans to take an active
part in the upcoming February elections,
Bates said he will play an informative role,

know what they're getting themselves into.
of his 400-page manuscript, Revolutionary
Manifesto of America, which he has
submitted to publishers everywhere from
Carrboro to New York.
The book, which Gainous wrote in 1975
while he was a political science student at
UNC, is still unpublished. It outlines a
grassroots movement to completely
reorganize the U.S. government and effect a
return to the ideals of the American
revolution.
Gainous has told UNC students and
whomever else will listen, "It is time and past
that the people of this country began to
exercise their power and demand the rights
guaranteed them by the Constitution."
Gainous was a familiar figure to many
students on the UNC campus during the
1974-75 school year. He sat at a table in the
Union every day behind a sign advertising a
new democratic American revolution and
offered literature and conversation to those
who paused.

A three-month delay by the UNC Board of
Trustees in approving the sale of four
University-owned utilities is adversely
affecting the operation of the current utilities
structure, UNC Utilities Director Grey
Culbreth said Wednesday.
Ralph Strayhorn, chairperson of the
trustees' utilities committee, said Wednesday
the delay may continue at least until the next
meeting in February. "I would hate to
speculate at this point on whether or not
we'll be ready then," he aid.
Awaiting the trustees approval are the
sale of the telephone utility to Southern Bell
for $24 million, the electric utility to Duke
Power Co. for $ 1 6 million and the water and
sewer systems to the Orange County Water
and Sewer Authority for approximately $ 1 .9
million.
Strayhorn's utilities committee met only
twice between the October and December
trustees' meetings, and one meeting
"amounted to kind of a social thing,"
according to committee member Charles R.
Carr textile mill
by Lynn Medford
Staff Writer
Little opposition is being raised to the
proposed shopping mall for Carrboro,
Carr Mill, even though the mall could
detract customers from many businesses in
Chapel Hill, as well as Carrboro.
The mall would be partially housed in
Carrboro's old textile mill, built in 1898 on
Weaver and Greensboro streets. If plans
are approved by the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen, the developer, Edy Corp. of
Carrboro and Southern Real Estate of
Charlotte, will renovate the mill to contain
about 12 shops and a larger variety store.
In a separate building to be constructed
just west of the renovated mill, will be a
grpcery store and a drug' storer Also,'1 a
drive-in bank is being proposed for the
mall.
Despite the size of the proposed mall,
many Carrboro merchants do not seem to
fear its possible coming. "I'd be glad to see
it come; it would draw more people from
Chapel Hill," manager Larry Beckett of
Carrboro's Family Dollar Store said
Wednesday. "There's always competition,
but that's what makes things go."
James B. Clark, owner of the Bye-Bye
Food Mart, agreed. "I think it would be a
blessing to Carrboro," he said. "Enough
people live in Carrboro to warrant a
shopping center. I've been trying to
generate interest in one."
Joe Augustine, executive director of the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants
Association explained that the merchants'
calmness is partially due to the uncertainty
over the types of stores the mall will
contain.
In addition, he said, the merchants have
expected a mall to be built for some time.
"In the past 10 years, there've been no less
than six proposed malls in the Carrboro
area," he said.
Many merchants also realize that the
mall, if attractive, will draw shoppers to the
entire Carrboro shopping district,
Augustine said. "People will come and pass
by Carrboro's downtown stores, notice
them and start trading there.
But he noted that Chapel Hill and
Carrboro merchants would lose some
business because of mall competition.
Carrboro Planning Board Chairperson
Don Wilhoit said that if Carrboro
merchants lose business, it will be because
they have not tried to improve their own
establishments.
. Central district renewal proposals were
made three years ago, but at a public
hearing (on the proposals) the merchants
were negative to suggestions to upgrade the
downtown area which is, overall.

The bond set for his release from jail was

against him is only an infringement of a
minor city ordinance.

The committee has not met since the
December trustees meeting. "We hope to
meet within the next two weeks," Strayhorn
said Wednesday.
Culbreth said, "The delay has hurt us
considerably. It's a psychological thing and a
financial thing. -
"The fact that this has hung over our heads
for so long has caused many employees to
leave," he said. "We are undermanned and
we can't replace key people that we've lost."
He said that many of the utilities
employees would receive salary increases
and other fringe benefits from the sale and
that the delay in receiving these benefits has
caused a letdown in employee morale.
"We've been told for a year and a half that
the sale is six months away," he said. "It's
like leading a horse with a carrot on the end
of a stick."
John Temple, UNC assistant vice
chancellor of business, echoed Culbreth's
statement. "The uncertain situation has to
have an effect on the morale of the
employees," he said.
Temple also said that, despite the
may be Carrboro's answer
deficient," he said. "If the owners don't
get on the ball and renovate, their business
will suffer, and it's their own fault.
"The mall project may bethe impetus to
cause a revitalization of the downtown
central district."
Former Carrboro mayor Robert Wells
said he also supports the proposed
shopping center. "I certainly see, not only a
revenue asset, but... good, clean
competition," Wells said. "The mall will
entice them (downtown merchants) to be
more concerned with business and to give
more variety to people of Carrboro."
Mill-Mall:
the newest
in Carrboro
Staff photo by Charles Hardy
Questions have been raised as to whether
the area can handle another shopping
center. But one of the developers, Ed
Yaggy of Edy Corp, who owns the Old M ill
property, said Carrboro's soaring
population, caused by the proliferation of
new apartment complexes, will provide a
good amount of business to the mall.
"The tremendous increase in population
in Carrboro in the last five or eight years
in the last seven it's gone from 2,500 to
12,000 make for a need for a shopping
center," Yaggy explained. "People would
be able to take care of what they need
without driving miles and miles for it."
He said he has received a "good deal of
support for the mall, particularly from
those interested in saving the Old Mill." In
addition, several merchants now working
in downtown Carrboro have expressed
interest in moving their stores into Carr

problems, there has been no deterioration in
the services of the utilities.
Culbreth said that Chapel Hill residents
have benefitted financially from the delay.
"We have delayed in asking for (telephone
and electric) rate increases for a long time,"
he said.
Strayhorn has denied allegations that the
Board of Trustees is waiting to see whether
the revenue from the sale will come to UNC
or go into the state general fund.
The N.C. General Assembly has
impounded any sale proceeds until July,
1976, after its Spring budget session.
But the January University Report states
that the $40 million that would come from
the sale of the electric and telephone utilities
has already been earmarked for financing
the construction of new campus library
facilities.
If approved by the trustees, the sales must
then be approved by the Governor's Council
of State and the State Utilities Commission
before they are final.
The telephone utility sale must also be
approved by the Federal Communications
Commission.

Carrboro Town Planning and Zoning
Administrator Suellen Beaulieu said the
town can accommodate a mall like the type
proposed. "Carrboro does not have any
kind of mall, and the proposal is unique to
an area of 50 miles around since it will have
variety shops and be in a renovated
building."
Several Carrboro aldermen, who will
have to approve the plans for Carr Mill
before it can be built, were optimistic that
Carrboro could supply patrons to the mall,
although they have reservations about the
plans as they exist now. "There are a lot of
people who have no way to get to the
University Mall, and there are people like
me who don't like to go a long way to

"There's approximately 1 2,000 to 1 5,000
shoppers in this end of town that need to go
somewhere," Alderman George Beswick
said. "If the developers feel Carrboro can
handle another shopping center, then they
must know what they are talking about
Carrboro citizens seem to be receptive to
the Carr Mill proposal. Housewife Alberta
Watson, of 30 1 Barnes St., said, "We really
don't have what you call a 10-cent store
here or some other things that we have to
drive all the way to University Mall for."
Some citizens preferred to have a park
and recreational facility on the old mill
land, but town officials point out that
Carrboro could not afford the property.
"Some people would like to have wings and
fly, too," former Mayor Wells said. "The
town of Carrboro can't afford that
property."
While many citizens said they would
rather have a mall than a park anyway, one
man, Grafton Games, 199 Brewer Lane,
said the park was needed more. "There's
nowhere for the kids to play (except) a little
community center that's too small and has
too many children."
Carr Mill plans are now being reviewed
by the Planning Board and will be
presented Jan. 14 for a public hearing.
Thus far, the aldermen's major objections
to the proposed plan have been the traffic
increase on Weaver Street and the
destruction of trees and greenery on the
land.
Original plans had included a restaurant
on the site, but developer Yaggy said that
idea had been sacrificed to save trees.
Town planner Beaulieu said several
plans have been suggested to the
developers to preserve a space for bike
paths and walkways.
Yaggy said that although the developers
were "conscious" of those requests, sev eral
of them were unrealizable, given the
acreage of the mill land.
House gate
Fuller, who is currently the attorney for
Gainous Sr., insists that younger Gainous's
White House fence climbing escapades were
"purely an individual thing" and are unlikely
to have any effect on his father's case.
But Gainous told reporters after his arrest
he believed that if former President Richard
Nixon could get a pardon, his father should
get one as well. "They took away all the
family's (military) privileges and destroyed
the family psychologically, financially and
physically," Gainous said.
More recently, when he sees visitors he
seems more concerned with the reaction of
New York publishers to his manifesto. In a
conversation with Daniel and Phillip
Berrigan, the antiwar former priests, in the

was urged to send the manuscript to

Dr. Adams:
unionization
improbable
by Dwight Ferguson
Staff Writer
Newly elected Faculty Chairperson E.
Maynard Adams said Thursday it is unlikely
that the UNC faculty will unionize in the
near future.
Adams, starting a three-year term as
faculty chairperson, was elected to his
position by the faculty in December. He is a
Kenan Professor of Philosophy, and
succeeds history Prof. George V. Taylor.
During an interview, Adams said he
believes the increased interest in
unionization of college professors
throughout the country is sympomatic of
poor economic conditions.
Describing himself as the "voice of the
faculty," Adams said one of his greatest
concerns is the impact of the economy on
UNC professors. "We are going to see what
will be, relative to the immediate past, lean
years for (college) faculties," he said.
However, unionization is not viable at
UNC, Adams said. "We have one of the best
working conditions -forthe-faculty "in "the
country at this institution." he said, adding
that unionization fosters an employee
manager relationship between faculties and
administrations. Adams said he believes
college professors, as professionals, should
individually negotiate their contracts, and
unionization should only be used at
universities where faculty-administration
relations have already deteriorated.
"I don't feel that's the case at Chapel H ill."
Adams said. "I don't think that's the general
feeling of the faculty. The faculty members
(at UNC) don't feel that they are just
employees. They have a sense of
professionalism."
Adams also discussed recent changes in
tenure regulations, which he cited as an
example of the good working relations
between the faculty and administration at
UNC.
The major change in tenure regulations
primarily deals with cases in which a
program is cancelled due to lack of funds. In
such cases, a tenured faculty member who is
laid off must be offered his old job back if his
program is reinstituted within two years.
Adams said he favors adding pluses and
minuses to grades, a system proposed by
Taylor to help fight what some see as grade
inflation. Adams recommended that pluses
and minuses be figured into quality point
averages and appear on student transcripts.
He offered three explanations for possible
grade inflation. First, he noted that there are
fewer required courses today. Thus, students
are more free to concentrate in areas where
they hav e the most aptitude. Second. Adams
perceived a' "cafeteria curriculum," with a
large number of courses offered to students.
Because of this, professors must make their
courses popular - possibly with easy
grading -- to attract students.
Finally, Adams sees less confidence in the
significance of grades today, a feeling that
causes many professors to be generous in
grading to avoid harming students.

September when Gainous was first making
inquiries into the possibilities for
publication, says "There are just too many
w ords. It should have been maybe 40 pages."
Guy Nickson. an honors student in
political science who was graduated from
UNC in May, 1975. explained: "What he'
(Gainous) was advocating was a kind of
federalism, a constitutional democratic
centralism but not one developed from
the Marxist model.
"Gainous wanted an identifiable
American movement, an outgrowth of the
historical development of this particular
society," Nickson continued. "He was going
back to American models, studying the
development of the American system. He
emphatically rejected Marxism at least in
name.
"The mov ement he suggested was " not
extralegal. He intended to instigate change
