Student president seeks
to up fees by mid-October
By KEITH HOLLAR
Staff Wriitr
Although student-activities fees have
not increased since 1957, Student Body
President Bill Moss said he will push for
a student referendum calling for an
increase.
"I'd like to get this over with by mid
October," Moss said. "1 think it would
be in the' long-term interest of the
student body to have an increase."
The last attempt to raise student
activities fees was in February, 1976.
The referendum, calling for a $2.50
increase, was defeated handily.
Undergraduates now pay $80 per
semester in student fees, $9 of which is
the student-activities fee. Graduate and
professional students pay $7 per
semester in student-activities fees.
Of this amount, one-third goes
directly to the Carolina Union for
programming purposes and, and the
result of a referendum passed last year,
16 per cent goest to the Daily Tar Heel.
The remaining 50.7 per cent goest to the
Campus Governing Council (CGC) for
distribution among 35 campus
organizations. '

Making up ther rest of the total
student fees are the health-services lee
($43.50 per semester), the athletic fee
($17.50) and a fee which goes to the
Carolina Union ($10) lor maintenance
and construction purposes.
Moss would not say how much of an
increase in student-activities lees he
wants, but he said the CGC would have
to approve any recommendation.
Once past the CGC. 1 he referendum
would have to be voted on by at voting
for the increase. The increase then must
be approved by the UNC Board of
Governors.
The CGC Finance Committee meets
for several sessions each spring to
determine how to distribute 50.7 per
cent of the student-activities fees. Last
spring the committee appropriated
$169,730 in sessions that often lasted
well into the night and were marked by
flaring tempers, pleas for more funds
and motions to eliminate funding for
some organizations.
"Clearly, more money is needed, not
for Student Government, but for the
organizations." Moss said. "They need
more money ;just to continue at the
present level of operation."

installation charge, plus security
deposits, il the increases are approved
by the commission.
Dormitorx students will have to pax

Dormitory residents are also exempt
Irom Hell's deposit requirement.
VC. Attorney General Rulus
I dmistcn. whose ollice is investigating
the request, the rate request "almost
verges on being extortion.
"We will oppose this increase as
vigorously as we can to prevent the
public Irom being required to pay exen
one dollar more than absolutely
necessary lor Hell to maintain its service
to the public." Idmisten said in a
prepared press statement.
BSM: Earth, Wind and Fire
'definitely coming' this year
I he Black Student Movement! BSM)
w ill bring Earth. Wind and Fire lo UNC
lor a concert in Carmichael Auditorium
sometime this year, a BSM member
inxolxed in negotiations with the group
said this week.
"They are definitely coming." said
Brooksie Harrington, who said he has
been working with BSM chairperson
Bvron Horton to bring the group to
UNC.
But Harrington said financial details
still had to be worked out with the
group. Tickets w ill be sold to cover the
show's costs, he said.
Horton said other plans for the BSM
this year include sponsorship of a new
group, the Black Alumni Association.
The group will provide an additional
alumni organization for black graduates
of Carolina.
As a service to its members, the BSM
w ill begin maintaining a resume file this
year. Upon joining, members will be
asked to fill out a list of their activities.
The list can be updated period icajly and
will be available. whenever needed for
job or school applications.
Black Ink. the stude-nt newspaper,
will be published regularly every two
weeks instead of onde a month. Horton
said the first issue should appear
sometime next week.
Horton said he also hopes to make
several social activities, such as ski trips,
available to BSM members. Other BSM
plans include tutorial-group sessions
which Horton said will allow more
students to receive help than in a one-to-one
tutorial session.
New ticket system on trial
I he Athletic Association will experiment
with a new system for football-ticket
distribution for a home game this fall.
Tickets for the South Carolina game on
Oct. 15 will be distributed lo students
beginning Oct. 10. The location of
campus distribution points for the tickets
w ill be announced prior to that date.
II successful, the new system may be used
for every home game next year.
Assistant Athletic Director John D.
Swofford said the new system is designed to
provide more tickets for the general public.
"What's brought it about is that last year two
games. East Carolina and Duke, were sold
out far in advance. On the day of the game,
students did not pick up their allotment of
tickets. As a result, we had several empty
seats in the stands. We had to turn away

"It is simply astounding to me that
they would ask lor a S65 million rate
hike and demand to have it by
September Is). Southern Hell is a line
company, but they can tighten their
belts like exerxone else."
I he $72.50 installation figure
includes a $17.20 line-access charge, a
$5 10 staiion-handlmg charge, a $9.45
wiring charge and a $40.75 charge lor
labor and billing expenses.
Bell also requests a rate increase of 60
cents lor residential and $1.20 monthly
lor business rates. In Chapel Hill',
residential consumers w ill pay $8. 10 and
business consumers will pay $19.95
monthly il the rates are approved.
I he statewide rate hike would
increase Bell's annual revenue by $65. 16
million, an overall increase of i6.4r;.
The utilities commission is currently
reviewing Bell's request and will set a
date lor a public hearing on the rates
later this year. The rates, if okayed, w ill
be effective 30 days from the date of
approval.
A spokesperson for the attorney
general's office said they are
investigating Bell's request. Unlike the
commission, which is obligated to
determine the necessity of the rate
increases, the attorney general's office is
against the increase from the start.
"We'll fight this one hard." Fdmisten
said.

The main goal of the BSM this year.
Horton said, is to change the cultural
attitude of the campus. The BSM will
schedule rap sessions and discussion
groups to point out different cultures
around the world and to dispel the
notion that because a culture is different
it is wrong or inferior. Horton said he
hopes to make students aware that "the
American culture is not the only one."
Membership in the BSM is open to all
students at Carolina. Horton said
interested persons should come by the
BSM office in the Carolina Union
during the first two weeks of classes foi a
brief interview.

several people requesting tickets."
For the South Carolina game, students
will be able to pick up tickets during a three
day period before the game. U nclaimed
student seats will go on sale to the public.
Swofford emphasized that all students w ill
still be able to get into games. "We've never
turned a student away from Kenan Stadium
and we don't intend to start."
Students who do not get their tickets by
the end of the three-day period will be able to
get standing-room tickets at the gate on the
day of the game. Standing-room tickets are
not sold to the general public.
The new distribution system was
presented in June to the Athletic Council,
which approved the experimental use of the
new svstem for the South Carolina game.
