especially, on drop period

Student Body President Jim Phillips says the main emphasis of
his plans for the coming year is student involvement in the
decisions which affect their lives at the University.
"Student Government has to change from being an
organization that exists as an end in itself," Phillips said. "It has
to be a means to an end for the students. We need to make
students aware of the things that matter to them.
One item which should be top priority for students, Phillips
said, is the issue of the drop period. He said he wants to see the
drop period extended from four to six weeks this academic year.
"If it doesn't get done this year, Phillips said, it won't get
done. The class of 78 is the only class which has known a longer
drop period."
When upperclassmen picked up their schedules, they were
asked to fill out a survey in eluding several questions about the
drop period. From the six to seven thousand persons who filed
the survey, Phillips said he hopes to get a solid base of student
opinion from which to work.
Before the issue is brought to the Faculty Council, Phillips said
he plans to have his staff go door to door and inform students
about the benefits of a longer drop period.
"We want to mobilize the students, Phillips said. "We want
two or three thousand liningthe walls of Hamilton Hall when the
drop extension is introduced. The only way we can get it changed
is if the students show they care."
Phillips said another goal is to get a student member on the
Educational Policy Committee. This question also must be
brought before the Faculty Council.
"Students now have no voice on the educational policy that
effects us every day," Phillips said. "We pay for it, and still we
have no say in it. What we have to say should count."
The Education Policy Committee studies education issues the
Faculty Council will consider and makers recommendations.
The Faculty Council then votes on all educational policy.
Another issue Phillips hopes to see settled in the near future is
minority representation on the Campus Governing Council.
Currently, all representatives on the CGC are white students.
In such a situation, the student body president has the power to
appoint two minority representatives. Phillips said he definitely
will exercise that power.
"jJnless we have minority opinion, there is a void on the
council," he said. "It can't be fully informed or fully
representative. The fact that there will be minority students on
the council will make for better input and better relations
between the white community and minority communities on
campus."
Phillips also plans to work closely with the University
administration on the housing shortage. He said he feels the
University is ready to take action, possibly by selling land to
' contractors to build apartments specifically for students.
Although all plans are tentative, Phillips said he believes action
to. relieve the shortage will begin soon.
The parking problems on campus is another area of concern in
Phillips administration. Craig Brown is currently studying the
priority system for the allocation of parkingstickers. He said he
feels some changes in the priorities need to be made, including
giving preferences to commuters rather than .to students living
on campus.
Last spring. Student Government opposed the proposed
addition to the Health Affairs parking deck. This summer the
group dropped its opposition.
"The University compromised," Phillips said, "and we thought
we got a good deal." The deal includes a $2,500 park-ride study
and the building of fringe lots with bus service on Manning
Drive. 7
Phillips also plans to conduct studies on the various student
services on campus. The Student Health Service is one of the
areas being studied by his staff.
One of the questions about the Student Health Service which
will be included in the study is the $6 per semester fee each
student pays for the construction of the new infirmary facility.
Some students who are - paying for this service will have
graduated before the facility is in use. A rebate to students who
already have paid for the facility and will never use it also is being
studied.
The food service and the Student Stores also will be studied as
to their quality and efficiency. Phillips said he wants to find out
why students pay full publisher's suggested retail price for books
when a profit could be made for the Student Stores scholarship
fund even if the store soldLbooks at a discount price.
Because of the number of students who have mentioned the
intramural program as an area that needs improvement, Phillips
says he also plans to look into ways to revamp and rekindle the
program.
Phillips said he- plans for Student Government to help'
establish several organizations, including an academic action
group, aluminum recycling, and to help rejuvenate the North
Carolina Association of Student Governments.

them, they still must adjust to a new
campus, new people and a new way of
doing almost everything.
Carolina is not geared to help them
make the adjustment, says John
Reinhold, a clinical social worker and
director of University Counseling
Service.
At a meeting of transfer student
counselors Saturday, Reinhold said he
was "struck by the lack of support and
services for transfers. It's just sort of
assumed they'll make it."
Reinhold said transfers - must go
through a natural coping process they
already have experienced once as
freshmen. However, transfers also may
experience forms of depression uniquely
associated with transfer status.
Depression could stem from a number
of adjustment problems, Reinhold said.
These include loss of friends from the,
transfer's previous school, second
thoughts about attending Carolina, the
isoIatingexperienceof- living in . an
apartment and the University's special
emphasis on orienting freshmen rather
than transfers.
Transfer students feel they should be
able to cope with everything because of
their prior college experience, Reinhold
said. He told counselors to let transfers
know that their feelings of inadequacy are
natural and to encourage them to ask
questions.
Have a story idea?
Call the story people.
933-0245
Reinhold suggested transfers not try to
make any other drastic changes, such as
in diet or religion, while they are
adjusting to their new environment.
He also suggested if transfers do
encounter any problems adapting, they
should take advantage of counseling
resources on campus including their
adviser, the University Counseling
Service and the Reading and Learning
Skills program.
Barbara Polk, assistant chairperson of
the Orientation Commission, said
transfer students also must face the same
problems everyone else must deal with,
such as parking and housing, as well as
becoming oriented to UNC.
Transfer students, for example, could
not apply for parking stickers until they
arrived on campus, meaning they
probably have no place to park on
campus. This in turn, is 'a problem
because few transfer students can live on -.
campus. And their, applicators f to, the A
University usualty'.are j4fH)$ n
the year that even finding an apartment is
difficult.
Fraternities are housing some
transfers, but sororities haven't been able
to help out because of rush, said Walton
Reeves, co-director of transfer student
programs.'
Also, the Orientation Commission sent
a survey to professors to search out places
for students to stay, "but as of last week,
less than a dozen professors had offered
to let students stay with them.
Last year, it took some transfer
students up to four weeks to settle in
permanent housing after their arrival on
campus, Reeves said.
