Edmisten
clarifies
pot stance
By CHARLENE HAVNAER '

North Carolina Atty. Gen. Rufus
Edmisten said Monday that he was not
advocating the decriminalization of
marijuana when he asked Gov. Jaines B.
Hunt to commute the sentences of prisoners
serving time for simple possess ion of the
controlled substance. -.C- -
f
Edmisten said the release of the prisoners
would ease overcrowding of the state's
prison system. He made the request when he
appeared March 3 before the General
Assembly's committee on law enforcement-,
and crime control.
The attorney general said he feels the state
is putting the wrong persons in prison and
that the space should be made available for
people who commit felonies rather than
misdemeanors.
Simple possession of marijuana,
possession of less than one ounce, is a
misdemeanor in North Carolina. Secretary
of Corrections Amos Reed said last week
that approximately 290 persons are now in
state prisons for simple possession.
The final decision on whether to act on
Edmisten's proposal is up to Gov. H unt, who
has the power to grant pardons and
commute sentences.
Hunt's press secretary, Gary Pearce, said
Monday that Hunt has people in the prison

system looking into the cases of persons
. serving time for all types of misdemeanors,
but has not made a decision on how to act.
Pearce said there are several ways the
Governor could act to relieve the
overcrowded prisons. "He could set a policy
to encourage the State Paroles Commission
to grant these people early parole, or he
could decide to commute their sentences." In
either case, Pearce said, the cases of these
persons would be reviewed individually to
determine whether they merit release.
Lee Bounds, director of the criminal
justice program at UNC and former state
prison director, said Monday that he highly
supports Edmisten's proposal. "I'm not only
very supportive of it; I feel it should go
beyond not only to decriminalization, but it
should be4egally controlled like alcohol," he
said.

A RALPH BAKSH1 FILM

The status of the UNC chapter of a national
honorary athletic fraternity is in limbo until it provides
for female membership within its all-male ranks,
according to Bill Lovingood, the group's founder and
faculty adviser.
The UNC chapter of Sigma Delta Psi was granted a
charter by the national organization Jan. 1, 1977.
Under its present bylaws, only men are eligible for
membership. '
But Associate Dean of Student Affairs Frederic
Schroeder Jr. informed Lovingood that the fraternity's
bylaws violate the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare Title IX by excluding female membership.
South Campus to begin
film series for new Union
and therefore cannot receive the University's official
recognition.
Lovingood said he is working through the national
organization to change the bylaws to include women
and to establish a separate set of eligibility standards
for women.
Membership in the organization is based on the
applicant's performance in a series of tests measuring
physical skills. Lovingood said many of the present
requirements are too difficult for women to meet.
"Mr. Schroeder is right in calling this to our
attention," Lovingood said. "The only thing we can do
is try to be in compliance with all the rules and
regulations of Title IX."
Other campus chapters across the country are facing
the same problem, Lovingood said, and he expects the
national organization to discuss the situation at its
national conference this month.
He said he is looking forward to a positive response
from the national organization and expects its decision
within the next two months.
"I am optimistic that something will occur to give
women the opportunity to be a member of a very
prestigious organization," Lovingood said.
H e said that if the bylaws are not changed to include
women, the UNC chapter must either form a splinter
group to include women or move off campus. Either
alternative would be less than satisfactory, Lovingood
said, because the organization would lose both its
prestige and its access to campus facilities.
Delta Sigma Psi has one member, Randy Warrick.
The South Campus Film Series will
begin tonight with two showings of the
Marx Brothers' "Horsefeathers" at 7:30

The f ilm is the first in a series of six to

and April in an attempt to develop
programming for the South Campus

By using a shared-ride system, along with
bus service on the U Route, the
Transportation Board hopes to save fuel by
eliminating less-used bus routes.
He said the danger of the system would be
its attractiveness and thus the possible excess
demand for it. Bartosiewicz said fare prices
could be altered to control such a problem.
The use of such a taxi system would cut the
marginal cost of a transportation system by
$135 a week, he predicted.
If such a system is not implemented,
Bartosiewicz said, a cutback on bus service
in accordance to rider demand may be the
only way to maintain an economical bus
system.

Pizza Hut granted permit
By LESLIE SC1SM
Staff Writer
A permit will be granted to the property
owner at 112 W. Franklin St. to allow the
construction of a Pizza H ut restaurant, despite
object-ions by several Chapel H ill residents that
the restaurant will threaten the town's
quaintness.
The Chapel Hill Board of Adjustment voted
March 2 to uphold the building inspector's
decision to grant a permit to Owen Gwym, the
property owner. The permit will not be issued
until 30 days after Gwym files an
environmental impact statement.
The permit allowing the construction of the
Pizza Hut was appealed by Alderman Robert
Epting, who said the restaurant would change
the image of Franklin Street from pedestrian
oriented to vehicle-oriented. Plans for the
Pizza Hut call for a parking lot in front of the
modernized, red-brick franchise.
Despite the appeal's being overturned,
Epting said he does net see the decision as a
defeat for Chapel Hill residents who hope to
preserve the town's quaintness.
Approximately 75 persons, most of whom
opposed the Pizza Hut's construction,
attended the two-hour meeting.
"The appeal gave us a chance to say this is
horrible and that we want to change the
(zoning) ordinance," Epting said Monday.
Chapel Hill's zoning ordinance permits
commercial development of any downtown
property.
A proposal to amend the zoning ordinance
to require special-use permits for development
of downtown property will be introduced by
aldermen Epting and Gerry Cohen at a future
meeting of the board, Epting said.
Epting was co-sponsor of the ordinance that
requires all persons applying for permits to file
environmental impact statements. The
ordinance was adopted by the Board of
Aldermen Feb. 28, shortly after Gwym was
granted his permit by the town's building
inspector.
Gwym could not be reached for comment.
Bruce Holsten, assistant to Chapel Hill
Mayor James C. Wallace, said the mayor's
office was in "perfect agreement with Mr.
Epting's position."
"We support anything that will preserve the
character of Chapel Hill. We cannot deny
businesses the right to open up, but sometimes
you reach a point that development is not in
the best interests of the town," he said.
began accepting nominations for the
post. Eventually a list of 25 nominees
was compiled, and the committee
began narrowing down the list.
On March 1, committee
chairperson Claude George,
associate dean of the School of
Business Administration, sent the
committee's final nominees to

Taylor.
According to Taylor's
instructions, the list was to contain
no fewer than three and no more than
six names, to be listed in alphabetical
order. George would not say how
many names were on the list sent to
Taylor, and he also declined to give
the names of the nominees.
