The battle of the budget is about to begin.
Every year at about this time, the ramnn
Governing Council (CGC) holds a series of
meetings and hearings to decide how to dole
out the money collected from student fees.
Tuesday night, the CGC Finance
Committee started the bout this year by
meeting to set up schedules Tor budget
hearings next week.
At those hearings, representatives from
different campus student groups will come
before the committee to present their budget
requests and to answer questions put to them
by committee members, who will be trying to
decide whether the requests are reasonable
and where the money will go.
Later this week, Phil Searcy, chairperson
of the finance committee, will begin
receiving computer printouts of balance
sheets for student groups that received
student money last year.
Balance sheets for each student group are
kept in the computer of the Student
Activities Fund Office (SAFO), which serves
Moss appoints
Todd Albert
SG treasurer
Todd Albert, a junior international
studies major from Eaton, Ohio, has been
appointed new student body treasurer.
The appointment, made by Student Body
President Bill Moss, was approved by the
Campus Governing Council March 1.
Albert is a former treasurer of Aycock
Dorm and the Morehead Confederation. He
also has served as a research assistant under
Bill Bates and as a member of several
Carolina Union activity committees.
Since March 2 Albert has gone through an
orientation program. "I haven't had to
supervise the financial activities of many
campus organizations because few problems
have surfaced," Albert said.
He said he has planned no major changes
and he is not sure any will be necessary.
"The past year ran fairly smoothly
compared to the year before," Albert said.

Based on SAFO records and the budget
hearings, the CGC will decide on a budget
for the 1977-78 school year.
The CGC Finance Committee hearings
are expected to begin Monday, and six or
seven nights of hearings probably will be
held before the committee begins making
recommendations on budget allocations,
according to Searcy.

budget for 1977-78 will be for approximately
the same amount.
The 1976-77 budget allocated $186,694 to
student groups. The Carolina Union
received $108,675 and unappropriated
balance totaled $24,631. The CGC uses the
unappropriated balance to meet additional
expense which might occur during the year.
Groups receiving money included student
government, campus publications and radio
station, the campus YM-YWCA, club
sports and semi-independent groups such as
the Association for Women Students, the
Black Student Movement and the Carolina
Gay Association.
Approximately 409 doctors, in addition to
1,752 groups and 588 laboratories, each
received Medicare payments in excess of
$100,000. This was the first time HEW has
released a list of major Medicare recipients.
The twoN orth Carolina doctors on the list
were E. R... Gaskins, an Albemarle
opthalmologist who received $164,270 in
Medicare payments in 1975, and Latham T.
Moose, a Winston-Salem .urologist who
received $126,594.
Of the 25 groups and clinics HEW listed .
from North Carolina, the Sanger Clinic in
Charlotte showed the highest Medicare
billings with $419,587. No North Carolina
laboratories were listed.
Medicare is the federally run health
insurance program for aged and disabled
Americans.
In 1975, Medicare received $4.3 billion in
doctor bills for 12.6 million old and disabled
people who received benefits that year. A
total of 23.8 million people were enrolled in
the program then, including 1.8 million who
are permanently disabled. .
The amounts listed, officials said, include
both payments made directly to physicians
and groups and also payments made to
beneficiaries where the individual is
responsible for the doctor's bill.
The American Medical Association
(AM A) criticized the list even before it came
out. Dr. John Sammons, executive vice
president of the AM A, said there was basic
dishonesty in the release of the names of
those receiving Medicare payments. Such a
release, he continued, serves only to badger a
large part of the profession and to establish
guilt by innuendo.
He urged HEW to say if it believed any of
the listed doctors are guilty of fraud.
The release of the list is apparently due to a
change of policy at HEW. Officials said it
was made to conform to a Freedom of
Information law approved last year calling
for more public disclosure of government
activities. , v a ,
Last year the department rejected a
request for a similar list of 1974 Medicare
payments.

Housing deposits due Thursday
for students returning to dorms
By LINDA MORRIS
Staff Writer
Students who hope to return to
University housing next year must have
deposits paid and applications turned
into residence directors by Thursday to
insure that their names are included in
the random drawings for rooms.
Peggy Gibbs, assistant housing
director in charge of room contracts,
said the S75 prepayment and a
completed housing contract must be
taken to the University cashier by 3:30
p.m. Thursday. The contract must be
stamped by the cashier when payment is
received.

WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate
Tuesday approved and sent to President
Carter a bill repealing the law that allowed
the United States to import Rhodesian
chrome in defiance of U.N. sanctions.
Completing congressional action on the
issue after two days of debate, the Senate
approved the repeal legislation by a vote of
66 to 26.
The House passed the same, bill Monday
to the delight of Carter, who wanted the 197 1
Rhodesian import law repealed before he
addresses the United Nations Thursday.
Further consultation between the House and
Senate therefore was unnecessary, and the
bill went directly to Carter.

"If 20,000 students could generate 10
letters apiece through their local
districts to their representatives and
senators- in Raleigh, then it would play a
very, very important part in how they
vote," Lawings said.
The bill this year will propose that
each of the state's 84 ABC districts be
allowed to vote on liquor-by-the-drink
individually, Lawings said. He
explained that proposing this local
option would increase the bill's chances
of passing. In 1973 the proposal was
made on a statewide basis, and
supporters of liquor-by-the-drink
believe that this contributed to the bill's
defeat.

submission cards must be given to the
applicant's current residence director by
6 p.m. Thursday.
Gibbs said contracts had been slow
coming in, but that the flow has picked
up in the last two days. She said the
residence director in Morrison had
received only six applications before
Monday, when he received 150.
"Students don't seem to be reading
the information Housing is handing out.
and I'm afraid they are going to try and
pay Friday, which will just be too late."
Gibbs said.

The President was expected to sign it into
law before his scheduled U.N. address.
Proponents of the repeal legislation
described it as a major foreign policy victory
for Carter.
In a series of late afternoon votes, the
Senate turned down amendments that
proponents of repeal said would have made
an import cutoff impossible or would merely
duplicate language already in the legislation.
After the House led the way with its
Monday repeal vote. White House press
secretary Jody Powell described Carter as
"very pleased."
"He believes the vote on Rhodesian
chrome will contribute immeasurably to the

Lawings said that a 100-page study of
liquor consumption will be used this
year to support proponents' arguments.
Statistics from the study show that
eastern North Carolina, an area of the
state noted for its opposition to liquor-by-the-drink,
consumes more alcohol
per capita than any other region. There
may be more support for the bill in the
east than widely believed.
Nobody knows when the proposal
will be ready for introduction, as the
proponents of the bill are still in the
early planning stages. "I don't hear any
talk about it, but the anxiety is there,"
Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green said.

afternoon.
The rise in the amount of the
prepayment has generated few
complaints to the housing department,
Gibbs said. The extra S25 this year is
applied to students' fall rent.
"I guess students have just learned to
expect inflation in everything," Gibbs
said.

Southern Africa." Powell said.
In the Senate Tuesday. Sen. Harry Byrd.
l-Va., the author of the Rhodesian chrome
import legislation facing repeal, submitted
an amendment that would let the President
resume Rhodesian chrome imports any time
he felt that would promote a peaceful
solution of southern African problems.
The Senate approved that amendment,
93-0.
Sen. Dick Clark, D-lowa. leader of the
fight to stop Rhodesian chrome imports,
said Byrd's amendment would make the
Senate legislation conform with the bill
passed 209 to 187 by the House Monday.

he does not believe the bill will pass
unless it includes strict controls.
"I think any liquor legislation should
be predicated on controls to protect the
public," Winters said. Winters,
chairperson of the Senate ABC
committee, said this probably will be
difficult for proponents of liquor-by-the-drink.
