But the local folk dance group has been invited to Washington to take part in the celebrations following Jimmy Carter's inauguration. The group will perform Friday, Jan. 21, in the national visitor's center in Washington. Ivan Mann, a computer analyst who plays the banjo for the group, said the cloggers will conduct an audience participation dance in which visitors will be invited to join in with the cloggers. The group members are not yet sure how many cloggers will be making the trip; they say money is their biggest problem. "It all came up so suddenly over Christmas that we haven't had time to have any fund raising events," said Susan Grambling, a member of the dance group. We're trying to round up money, and . we're relying on contributions because we are low funds," Grambling said. Anyone interested in making a donation to the group may writgjo the Apple Chill Cloggers, Box 23, Carolina Union. Mann said contributions to the dance group are tax deductible. Anyone interested in clogging but unable to go to Washington can attend regular Tuesday night classes taught by the Apple Chill Cloggers. The time and J V J - 4 ! r ivfl i I 1:! SCA U set to start counseling for students who Free service by Jeff Cohen Staff Writer The Student Consumer Action Union (SCAU) will begin a counseling service Friday as the first stage of a new three-part program for students applying for in-state residency. In addition to the counseling service, SCAU will publish a pamphlet and sponsor various lectures concentrating on general residency information, according to SCAU Chairperson Brad Lamb. "We are setting up a program to help both in-state and out-of-state students with regard to their residency classification,' Lamb said. . Presently, a student may only be granted in-state residency on the basis of a four-page, 30-question application. We want to counsel students with regard to filling out the application," Lamb said. "Our counselors are people who have been through the residency procedure, including Two law students." Lamb said the counseling service will also use the experiences of other students. "We want to set up a place for people who want to share their information on attempting to establish in-state residency," he said. "In-state students can get caught in this as well as out-of-state students," he added. "When a student's parents move out-of-state, the student must declare his independence from his parents and apply for in-state residency."

A petition supporting a minimum 20 per cent salary increase for the 1977-1979 biennium is now circulating among faculty members here. The petition, an outgrowth of one circulated by a group of 12 political science professors in November, states that a 10 per cent salary increase in each year of the coming biennium is the minimum required to maintain the University's academic excellence. A copy of the petition, complete with names and titles of signers, will be sent to Gov. James B. Hunt and members of the legislature later this month. Deadline for signing the petition is Jan. 18. Five professors from four departments drafted the petition, which was distributed to all faculty members last week. The petition circulated by the political science professors in November cited faculty discontent with salaries, fringe benefits and University support for faculty research. The new petition concentrates on the salary issue because the legislature must approve the increase when it convenes, according to Enrique Baloyra, an associate political science professor and one of the drafters of the petition. The UNC Board of Governors recommended only a 10 per cent salary increase in each year of the biennium. Gov. James B. Hunt has recommended a 6.5 per cent increase for each year. "We are distressed by this (Hunt's recommendation)," Baloyra said. "We have been loyal soldiers up to now. We have not begins today for 12 consecutive months and intend to remain in the state following graduation to be eligible for in-state residency status. Stevens said other factors used to determine residency status include where a student pays taxes, receives his driver's license and registers his car.

"There is no clearly established path except by being a resident in North Carolina for 12 consecutive months and by intending to be a resident in the state in the definite future," Stevens said. Should a student's application be denied, he may then make two appeals. Following the appeals, the student may take the University to court.

DO by Toni Gilbert and Karen Millers Staff Writers Potential candidates for this year's UNC campus elections are now circulating petitions which they must submit to the Campus Elections Board before their names can be placed on the ballot. Elections will be Feb. 9, and, if necessary, run-offs will be Feb. 16. Petitions are available in Suite C of the Carolina Union and must be returned no later than 9 p.m. Jan. 28. Candidates for Student Body President and Daily Tar Heel editor must each obtain at least 500 signatures to secure a place on the ballot. Students may sign only one petition for each office. " Traditionallythe races for Student Body President and Daily Tar Heel editor have drawn the most contenders and sparked the most interest among students. Candidates for these offices will be making official announcements in the next two weeks. Prospective candidates already are developing campaign strategies nd platforms. For the office of Student Body President, the field of probably candidates includes Tal Lassiter, a junior from Washington, N.C.; Gary Mason, a junior from Rocky Mount; Mark Miller, a junior from Fayetteville; and Bill Moss, a junior from Youngsville. Probably conadidates for editor of. the Daily Tar Heel include Sam Fulwood, a junior journalism major from Charlotte; Greg Porter, a junior journalism and English major from Durham; and Mike York, a second-year law student from High Point. complained, and we have not raised our voices. But we want to make the Board of Governors and the Board of Trustees and the public at large aware of our situation." Baloyra said salary increases here have lagged behind the national average for the past four years. During the 1975-77 biennium, UNC faculty received salary increases of .9 per cent for the first year and 4 the second year. Nationally, the average salary cent each year. Nationally ranked departments "can't be maintained when people leave to go to other places to get better salaries," Baloyra said. "You can't maintain standards of excellence with a subpar faculty." The petition notes that because of inflation, faculty members' salaries last year were 13.4 per cent Jess in terms of real purchasing power than they were, in 1972-1973. According to a study by the local American Association of University Professors (AAUP) cited in the petition, a salary increase of 3 1 per cent for the biennium would be necessary to catch up with salaries four years ago. The AAUP recommended a 34 per cnet increase for the coming biennium. Faculty Chairperson E. Maynard Adams will present a resolution to the Faculty Council Jan.21 supporting the 20 per cent salary increase recommended by the Board of Governors for the coming biennium. Adams said, however, that the 20 per cent increase would only partly recoup the loss of real income the faculty have suffered in recent years. Baloyra said he expects support for the salary increase petition to be greater than that for the earlier petition, which was signed by 127 faculty members, most of them tenured. Lamb said the counseling service will prepare students for the appeal hearings. "We are going to help students learn how to argue intent," Lamb said. "Arguing intent varies from undergraduate to graduate as well as from department to department," he said. For example, Lamb said that it is very difficult for a medical student to argue intent, as it is common knowledge that most doctors leave the state. Lamb said medical students applying for in-state residency should be open to living in North Carolina Parkers by Elliott Potter Staff Writer According to Chapel Kill Police Chief Sidney Hilliard, there have been no violations of an ordinance prohibiting parking between the driveway entrance to Hinton James dormitory and the 15-501 by-pass since it was enacted Dec. 19.

Miller said the new date will be helpful for both campaign workers and student interest in the campaign, "It's good because it's taking place before people have settled into their academics," he said. He also said the added time after the election will give the new administration better opportunity to work with the outgoing administration, resulting in a smoother transition. Mason predicted a lively campaign with increased student interest.

"If a student does not have a' chance to obtain in-state residency, we will tell him so." Lamb said that the SCAU wanted to see patterns develop in the residency' system. "We'd like to see consistencies develop where all of one type of case are granted in-state residency while all of another are not," he said.

Moss also predicted a higher-than-normal level of interest in the elections due to a planned media blitz by campus organizations and to the prevailing attitude among students. "The campus is in a very serious mood," Moss said. He added that the race for student body president will be a dogfight and will draw student interest. Lassiter could not be reached for comment.
