Construction of
water pipeline
began Monday
New link to be used
for emergency needs
Construction on the $l.8-million
Hillsborough water pipeline began on
schedule this week despite rainy
weather, according to Orange Water
and Sewer Authority (OWASA)
Executive Director Everett Billingsley.
"They've already started digging on
the Hillsborough end," he said.
Construction began Monday.
The pipeline, which will supply the
emergency water needs of Chapel Hill
and Carrboro during the next several
years, will be used only when the level of
University Lake is sufficiently low to
warrant such emergency use, he said.
The pipeline will have a capacity of 2
million gallons per day and is scheduled
to be completed in 90 days. In order to
take advantage of a 30 percent grant and
70 percent loan from the federal
government to fund the project, the
construction must be completed by
April 30.
The agreement between OWASA and
Hillsborough on the pipeline was
reached last August, but awarding of
bids and the final contract were not
agreed upon until recently. The T. A.
Loving Co. is in charge of the
construction.

UNC needs new image, early contact,
additional recruiters to attract blacks
By LAURA SCISM
University Editor 1
Editor's Note: This is the fifth in a
series of articles examining race
relations on the UNC campus.
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor has
publicly committed himself to the goa'l
of increasing the number of black
students at the University, but until the
pool of black applicants becomes larger,
the number admitted as freshmen is not
likely to increase appreciably.
More black high school seniors
applied to UNC for admission as
freshmen last fall than ever before, but
the total number of black student
applications was still only 658.
That compares to a total of 320 black
applicants in 1970, two years after the
Faculty Council passed the Dixon
Resolution, which expressed support
for increasing black enrollment here,
and one year after the admissions office
hired its first full-time minority
recruitment officer.
Of the 658 black students who applied
for admission to the UNC freshman
class of 1977, about half 359 were
offered adm ission, and about two-thirds
of those 223 enrolled.
Increasing the pool of black
applicants is one of tne main concerns of
Collin Rustin, an assistant dean of
admissions at UNC and the only UNC

Lou Holtz, former head football
coach at N .C . State and now head coach
at Orange Bowl-bound Arkansas,
appeared with the conservative senator
and defended his support of Helms. He
called the senator a man of integrity and
honesty.
"I cannot turn my back on a friend,"
Holtz said.
Helms was in Raleigh for a fund
raising dinner sponsored by the N.C.
Congressional Club. Over 2,000 persons
were expected at the dinner. Holtz and
Alton Lennon, a former U.S.
Representative from North Carolina,
were featured speakers.
Former U.S. Treasury Secretary
William E. Simon was also scheduled to
speak but was unable to attend due to
poor weather in New York.
Holtz said that while he sometimes
does not understand Helms' position on
certain issues, he does not always have
the facts that the senator has. Holtz
praised Helms for doing what he thinks
is best for the people.

conference Helms had briefed him on
the Panama Canal controversy.
When asked if Holtz supported
ratification of the treaty. Holt
explained, "1 did before 1 talked to him
(Helms)."
Helms called the proposed treaty a
"giveaway" and sounded confident that
the Senate will block its ratification.
"We have more than enough votes to
block the treaty," Helms maintained.
The senator, one of the most vocal
opponents of the Panama Canal treaty,
said there is a good chance the treaty will
not even come up for a vote next year.
Nobody in the Senate wants to vote on
it, Helms said.
While many proponents of the canal
treaty have said it is necessary to avoid
some kind of major confrontation in the
future, Helms said he did not foresee
any major problems developing over
failure to sign a new treaty. Helms said
he did not foresee a "Vietnam situation"
developing in Panama.
President Carter insists that the canal
is "absolutely defensible," Helms said.
Helms predicted that he also will get
political support in his campaign from
the state's approximately 400 high
schools .four-fifths of which he says
have sizeable black populations.
In January, a newly created
admissions staff position will be filled by
someone who will work with Rustin on
minority recruitment. The position is
temporary until June but may become
full-time if funding is available.
"You need more than one person in
this particular position," Rustin says.
Since he joined the admissions staff in
1975, he has recommended in annual
reports to the admissions director that
an additional minority recruiter be
hired.
Rustin's predecessors made similar
recommendations in their annual
reports.
"It seems that after eight years of
saying we don't have enough money, by
some magical formula we come up with
enough money," says Hayden B.
Renwick, UNC's first full-time minority
recruitment officer.
"When you say, 'I need more money.'
those are excuses," Renwick says.
"When you make a commitment, then
you shift the funds you've got to the
things that need attention." '
More money in the areas of financial
aid and scholarships might also help the
minority recruitment program.

Board remov es Gould
from Graphics position
By KOBFRT THOMASON
Staff Writer
The Board of Directors, of Student
Graphics Inc.. a printing shop funded by
the CGC, removed Stephen T. Gould
from his position as chairperson,
president and general manager of the
corporation at a special meeting
Wednesday night despite Gould's
absence from that meeting.
Members of the board said Gould was
dismissed as an officer and an employee
of the corporation because Student
Graphics lost money under his
management. Gould has said that in
certain months a loss is to be expected,
and that accounting procedures made
other months look unprofitable.
Rebecca Stroud, executive assistant
of Student Graphics, was named acting
general manager until a new manager
could be hired. The board agreed to
advertise for a new manager in
December and January.
In a regular meeting Thursday, the
board amended its action to honor
Gould's contract through Jan. 2, 1978 so
that Gould could meet eligibility
requirements for unemployment
compensation. The original action was
to have terminated Gould's contract
today, with 30 days severance pay.
Arkansas football coach Lou Holtz, who
has endorsed Sen. Jesse Helms for
reelection, praised the senator for doing
what he thinks is best for the people.
national Republican Party leaders. He
said he expects former President Gerald
Ford and former California Gov.
Ronald Reagan to come to North
Carolina on his behalf, "They're both
friends of mine."
Kim Wickes, a blind evangelist from
Korea who lives in Arkansas, provided a
musical performance during the dinner
for Helms. Helms introduced her at the
press conference, noting that she had
been the victim of a Communist bomb
at three during the Korean War.

Gould did not attend the meeting
Wednesday because he considered it
illegal. Gould said he believed that Patty
Turner, former vice chairperson and
present chairperson of the corporation
and the person who signed the letter of
notification for the meeting, could not
call a special meeting on her own
authority.
The board proceeded with the
meeting, however, because six board
members had called the meeting on
Nov. 19, although only one member
signed the notice. Before proceeding,
the board checked with North Carolina
Assistant Attorney General Andrew
Vanore, who confirmed the legality of
the meeting.
North Carolina law states that five
board members of a non-profit
corporation may call a special meeting.
This summer, some board members
attempted to dissolve the corporation
but failed because they could not draw
support from a majority of board
members.
They cited the following reasons for
attempting to dissolve the corporation:

New Hope Conference nixed
because of planning problems
By STEPHEN HARRIS
Staff Writer
Plans for a 70-member conference on
black-white relations at UNC have been
scrapped for this scmeslcr, according to
Greg Underwood, a member of the
conference's planning committee.
The proposed location for the weekend
conference, which was being arranged by
Student Government and the Office of
Student Affairs, was Camp New Hope, a
retreat located six miles north of Chapel
Hill. The conference may not be
rescheduled.
"Right now. the conference is officially
postponed." Underwood said Tuesday.
"We're looking to see if there would be
interest in the conference." Underwood
declined to speculate on when or if the
conference would be rescheduled.
Originally set for Oct. 28 through 30, the
New Hope Conference was postponed
because of the lack of participation by
blacks. Conference planners said the lack of
participation was due to a conflict with the
Black Student Movement (BSM)
Coronation Ball, but BSM chairperson
Byron Horton disagreed.
"Blacks did not attend the conference, not
because of the ball," Horton said, "but
because the BSM had never been contacted
and there had not been a concerted effort to
contact it."
"There was not a strong enough sense of

William R. Strickland, associate vice
chancellor for student development and a
member of the New Hope Conference's
planning committee, said Wednesday. "We
made some assumptions, and quite
" ortviouslv, we had some information that
was mistaken."
A lack of communication might have been
the cause of the conference's initial
problems, but there have been moves to
correct this. Strickland and Underwood met
with Horton and other black student leaders
Nov. 18.
"I was encouraged by these
conversations," Strickland said. "1 would
like to put it (the committee's first effort)
aside and make another try.
"There are serious problems in relations
between blacks and whites (on campus) and
they need to be addressed," Strickland said.
"I am willing to do anything I can in my
power to remove any barrier to productive
conversation."
One barrier to conversat ion is past tension
between the BSM and both Student
Government and the University
Administration, according to Horton.
"In both cases. Student Affairs and
Student Government have not given us any
reason to have faith in them and many
reasons to not have faith in them," Horton
said.
