Carolina basketball player Phil Ford
was released on his own recognizance
after being charged with disorderly
conduct and obstructing traffic in North
Myrtle Beach, S.C, last weekend.
Ford reportedly hit an unmarked
police car with his hand and exchangee
words with officers. :
"I didn't do anything wrong," Ford
said Wednesday. "I didn't beat on any
cars. That's not like me. I guess I've got
to learn to cross streets more quickly.
This thing's been blown out of
proportion, but it's over now."

Approximately 140 high school juniors
from across the state visited the UNC
campus the past two weeks as part of the
Project Uplift program.
Participants in the program are all
minority or underprivileged students.
The purpose of the program is to give
these students basic information on
admission requirements and financial
assistance of the University, said Beverly
Wells, outgoing on-campus coordinator for
the Black Student Movement (BSM).
While on campus, the students get a
chance to talk to faculty members, visit
classes and observe the campus. The
participants are housed in dorm rooms
during their stay in Chapel Hill.
There are three basic goals in the Project
Uplift program, according to Harold
Wallace, associate dean of Student Affairs.
The first goal is to encourage those interested
in going to college to continue that interest
and to motivate those who are unsure about
attending college. "We try to help them in
considering any college," Wallace said.
The second goal is to encourage the
students to consider Carolina. Trying to
provide significant contact and meaningful
interaction with upperclassmen is the third
goal. "We try to encourage them, direct them
and inform them, so they know about
student life," Wallace said.
Students are chosen for the Project Uplift
program by their high school guidance
counselors. The U niversity asks the guidance
counselors to nominate two persons plus two
alternates who are of a minority race or who
are disadvantaged. The students nominated
Hackleman.
The GPSF amendment requested a
fixed percentage of the CGC budget.
The amendment is similar to one passed
in February giving the Daily Tar Heel 16
per cent of the budget. The GPSF
percentage would have fluctuated,
however, because it would be based on
the number of graduate students in
proportion to the student body.
"Graduate students just want their
fair share," Hackleman said. Graduate
students contribute approximately
$63,000 in student fees to student
government each year. The 1976-77
GPSF budget was about $18,000.
The CGC Finance Committee is
considering hiking the GPSF allotment
from $3 to $3.50 per student, which
would add up to about $21,000 a year.

must meet the requirements for admission to
the University.
The guidance counselors then inform the
Office of Student Affairs of the nominees
and alternates. If the nominees are unable to
attend the program, the alternates are
invited.
The program is coordinated by Sherry
Meadows of the Office of Student Affairs.
While most of the planning for the program
is done by Student Affairs, most of the
footwork and counseling is done by the
BSM. "Without student support and
involvement, it would be hard to do it,"
Wallace said.

Women disturbed by
Women students on the bottom half
of the dorm-room waiting list should
seek off-campus housing, said Peggy
Gjbbs, assistant director for housing
contracts.
"The first dozen on the list have a
pretty good chance of getting back on
their halls," Gibbs said. "The girls on the
first half of the list have about a 50-50
chance. Beyond that, the chances go
down.
"I really don't expect all these women
to get in," Gibbs said. "That's why we
are urging them to look for other places
to live. We'd hate for them to wait till the
last minute and then not get in."
Gibbs said the 87 men on the list have
better chances of getting a room. "We'll
probably get them in somewhere, but
there are no guarantees."
There are 275 women waiting for
housing, 50 of whom presently are living
off-campus. These students are placed
at the bottom of the list. Of the 87 men
waiting, 38 are off-campus residents.
"Last year everybody who hung on
until fall got in, but we had fewer people
last year," Gibbs said. "We have higher
predicted admission rates for freshmen
this year."
Gibbs suggested students use the
service provided by the Department of
University Housing to help students

these panel sessions the administrators leave

atmosphere for the participants.
Many students attending the Project
Uplift program were favorably impressed
with the University.
Wand Dick, from East Guilford High
School in Gibsonville, said she enjoyed
herself and found the campus very
interesting. "I'd like to come here," Dick
said. "It's a really nice college."

Vickery: bottle bill possible
State Sen. Charles E. Vickery, D
Orange County, told the local COS
chapter Tuesday night that he feels a bill
to outlaw disposable beverage
containers in North Carolina stands a 50
per cent chance of being passed by the
General Assembly this spring.
The bill would place a five-cent
deposit tax on all returnable drink
bottles. Flip-top cans would be
prohibited.
Supporters of the bill say litter and
solid waste would be reduced if the bill

Ruth Davis, also from Monroe High
School, was impressed with the friendliness
of the people at the University. "The people
were so nice; it amazed me," Davis said.
Byron Horton, BSM chairperson,
participated in the Project Uplift program
when he was in high school. "It was the thing
that ? convinced me to come to Carolina,"
Horton said. Horton had considered
applying to MIT before he took part in
Project Uplift. But the unity that blacks at

of a community," Horton said.

nonreturnable bottles would become a
thing of the past. He said the litter
question is especially important to local
farmers who have to clean empties from
their fields.
Vickery said opposition to the bill has
arisen because of the extra cost the bill
would place on local bottlers. He said
the bill has not yet passed because of the
efforts of lobbyists from the bottle
companies.
