Students will be able to drop a course up to six weeks
after the first day of classes next fall due to a Faculty
Council vote Friday to extend the length of the drop
period.
The Faculty Council approved the extension by more
than a 2-to-l margin in spite of a recommendation from
the Education Policy Committee that the drop period be
left at four weeks.
"When the motion was made to extend the drop
period instead of to accept the committee
recommendation, I knew we had a chance," Student
Body President J.B. Kelly said after the extension was
approved.
The length of the drop period, originally 12 weeks but
shortened to four weeks in 1977, has been debated by
students and faculty since Student Government
presented a proposal in October to extend it to six
weeks.
In his address to the council, Kelly said the EPC
arguments against the extension classroom
. disruption, added costs and a lengthier period of student
non-committance were exaggerated and not
substantiated by facts.
"We hope that the Faculty Council will note the
differing degrees of substantiation that each position on
the drop period has developed," Kelley said. "The case
for the six-week drop period is based upon research and
opinion, while the case against the six-week drop period .
is largely based upon opinion, rather than specific facts."
The EPC report also cited the drop appeals process as
a method by which students may drop courses in cases
where four weeks is not sufficient time to evaluate a
course.
On the issue of student non-committance, William
Hardy, a Faculty Council member, said a longer drop
period could harm students who do not drop a course.
"In some classes projects proceed cooperatively within

UNC President William C. Friday said at a UNC
Board of Governors meeting Friday that HEWs
latest request for the state to spend SI 20 million on
improvement of the predominantly black schools in
the system .during the next six years is "out of the
question."
Friday told HEW Secretary Joseph Califano that
the system could commit $21. million over that
period, leaving a $100 million rift in negotiations
with HEW.
Seeing the possibility of a court fight with HEW,
Gov. James B. Hunt Friday approved the hiring of a
civil rights lawyer from Washington, Charles
Morgan Jr., to represent the state in administrative
proceedings in Washington. Morgan is a former
executive director of the American Civil Liberties
Union and has been involved in numerous civil rights
cases in the South, usually on the side of the plaintiffs
rather than the states.
"The Board of Governors and the administration
have not moved from the basic position that the
board must determine educational policies, Friday
said. He said the board was in favor of greater
integration, enhancement of the predominantly
black institutions and expanding the access of the
University to all students.
We never disagreed with the Office dT Civil Rights
over their objectives, but their methods," Friday
said. This was not done in arrogance or
confrontation, but because we believe in it.
Friday said that in a conversation with Califano on
Thursday, the secretary shifted the issue of
negotiations from duplication of programs to
program enhancement, saying that there were not
enough "unique programs , on the predominantly
black campuses. However, Friday said that by
unique programs, Califano meant non-duplicated
programs. Recently, HEW has suggested that some

groups, he said. "With a longer drop period, we
endanger others involved in the work of the student who
drops. .
But former Black Student Movement Chairman Allen
Johnson said a longer drop period might have the
opposite effect. "It seems that some of you are fearing a
mass exodus from classes, he said. "Have some faith in
the integrity of students and look at the other side. If you
only have a four-week drop period, you may not be sure
if you can handle a course but drop it just to be safe. You
might find more students staying in class with a longer
drop period.
Donald Boulton, Vice chancellor for Student Affairs
spoke to the council in favor of the extensions.
'Flexibility is the issue here, he said. As students saw
the drop period swing from 12 to four weeks, they failed
to see the logic in it.
Faculty Council member Dewitt Dearborne, also
supported the drop period extension. "I'm not swayed
by the students' arguments," he said. "But 1 think they
would feel better and we wouldn't feel much worse if we
voted for the extension. I think we should let them have
six weeks."
The vote was called after an hour of debate. A show of
hands indicated about 75 percent of the Faculty Council
voted for the drop period extension.
Jim Phillips, former student body president, credited
Craig Brown, Phillips' executive assistant, with passage
of the extension.

N.C. Transportation Secretary
Thomas W. Bradshaw Jr. will answer'
questions on the proposed southern loop
around Chapel Hill at 7:30 tonight at
Grey Culbreth Junior High School on
225 Culbreth Road.
The proposed bypass, designed to
relieve congested traffic on the US 15-501
bypass and possibly provide easy access
to a proposed UNC basketball complex
south of Hinton James Dormitory, has
sparked controversy since Mayor James
C. Wallace suggested it in January.
In November, the N.C. Department of
Transportation sent Wallace three
possible southern corridor routes and
suggested that one could be added to the
town's thoroughfare plan.
Negotiations on the thoroughfare plan
had been at an impasse since 1976 when
Chapel Hill residents rejected DOTs
proposal to make Franklin and
Rosemary streets one-way thoroughfares
to ease traffic flow.
The southern bypass proposal
reopened negotiations on the
thoroughfare plan, but brought with it a
storm of controversy on the need for the
bypass and its possible effects on
southern Orange and northern Chatham
County residents.
Aldermen Gerry Cohen and Ed
Vickery, along with southern Orange
County residents, have argued against the
proposed bypass. Cohen has told the
board he thinks the $85 "million project
would do less to relieve traffic congestion
on the U.S. 15-501 bypass than four
laning the present road.

Dcrci Frost protests Friday
By MARK MURRELL
Staff Writer
About 20 students held a pro-HEW
demonstration in front of the General
Administration Building during the UNC
Board of Governors meeting Friday.
The group, made up of Connor
residents, members of the Black Student
Movement, the Association for Women
Students and other students carried signs
and picketed in front of the building.
I would like to see the University
bargain in good faith, said Leo
Warshauer, a UNC junior who led the
group. "This lets them (the
administration) know that they have to
communicate more than just with
themselves and HEW. There should be
student input also.
"The black schools are getting the short
end of the stick, and the administration
must realize that they can't move at a
snail's pace, said BSM chairman Allen
Johnson, a participant in the
demonstration.
The peaceful demonstration was
challenged by one irate member of the
Board of Governors, who said the
demonstrators needed to get their facts
straight. The board member was angered
by an atypical placard carried by one
demonstrator which read, "Racism is
Fascism.
Commenting on the sign, Warshefuer
said, "That's really going to hurt us
because the majority of the protest was
well conducted."

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) U,.S.
presidential envoy Zbigniew Brzezinski
wrapped up his visits to three friendly
Arab nations Sunday and said he was
"more convinced than ever" that an
Israeli-Egyptian treaty would serve as the
cornerstone for a comprehensive Mideast
peace.
Brzezinski met with Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat for an hour and
20 minutes at Sadat's villa north of Cairo
and said he was "encouraged" by the
discussion and his weekend talks with the
kings of Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
"We feel we are on the eve of an
important new era at this part of the
world and will continue our efforts to
make sure that a progress already
achieved continues and widens in scope,"
Brzezinski told reporters after meeting
Sadat
President Carter's national security
adviser said he discussed the Jordanian
and Saudi reactions to the treaty
prospects with Sadat.
Brzezinski, who would not answer
questions after his brief statement, gave
no clue to those reactions and Sadat
made no comment. In an earlier
statement, 'the U.S. envoy said his talks
with Saudi King K. haled and Jordanian
King Hussein were "constructive and
useful."
But both Jordan and Saudi Arabia
issued statements saying they still sought
a "comprehensive" peace, clearly
indicating Brzezinski had not gained their
acceptance of an Israeli-Egyptian pact.
Brzezinski's comment was thought to
indicate the two kings were not so
strongly opposed to the treaty that they
would join economic sanctions against
Egypt sought by hard-line Arab leaders.
Brzezinski said he would leave for
Washington Monday and Deputy
Secretary of State Warren Christopher
would go to Rome, Bonn. Brussels, Paris
and London to brief European allies on
the talks.
Israeli radio said an Arab woman and
an Israeli soldier were wounded during an
anti-treaty demonstration in the village of
I

Hussein
Sair in the Occupied West Bank. The
incident involved a mock funeral for two
youths killed by Israeli gunfire last
Thursday during rioting.
In Nablus, 32 miles north of Jerusalem,
Arab students threw stones at soldiers,
and Palestinians in the nearby town of
Bet-Ur erected roadblocks, the broadcast
said.
Cairo's semi-official newspaper Al
Ahram printed Sunday what it said was
the text of the treaty, showing there was
virtually no change from the text
published last November despite months
of haggling.
The Israeli government said the text
contained errors but did not describe
them.
Egypt's government-controlled media
and government officials stepped up a
campaign to present the document as a
victory for the Arabs and Palestinians..
Brzezinski, heading a delegation that
included President Carter's son Chip,
talked at the airport in Amman with King
Hussein for two hours. The Americans
arrived at midday from Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia, where they had met with King
Khaled and his foreign minister, Prince
Saud Al Faisal, on Saturday.
He arrived in Cairo Sunday night to
brief President Anwar Sadat on his talks
with the Arab leaders.
A spokesman for Hussein said Jordan
demands Israeli withdrawal from all
territories occupied since 1967, self
determination for Palestinians and a
settlement that includes all parties to the
conflict.
Court
may
decide out ED TM editor today
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
Counsels for the Elections Board and Daily Tar Heel
editor candidate David Stacks Sunday outlined their
defense in the final pretrial hearing before the Student
Supreme Court meets to hear the case which could
decide the DTH editorship.
The court will meet at 3 p.m. today in Rooms 207-209
Carolina Union to hear an appeal by DTH candidate
Allen Jernigan which seeks to overturn the results of the
Feb. 21 runoff election in which he lost to Stacks.
Craig Brown, counsel for Stacks, Sunday gave an oral
response to a lengthy brief filed Thursday by Jernigan.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Cooper asked Brown
to respond orally instead of in writing to avoid another
delay in the court proceedings.
Suzie Mitchell, counsel for the Elections Board, and
Brown said they subpoenaed everyone listed in
Jernigan's brief as having signed depositions and some
of those who signed petitions. Brown said the Supreme
Court subpoenaed 19 persons as possible witnesses for
today's hearing.
The defendants' case is divided into four parts. The
first part will call as witnesses everyone who signed
depositions in the order they are mentioned in Jernigan's
brief. "We'll try to establish whether or not fraud
occurred as opposed to the possiblity of fraud," Brown
said.
The second part of the defense will examine petitions
presented by voters which stated they were unable to
vote in the Feb. 21 runoff because of late openings and
irregular poll supervision.
Stacks will be called as a witness to support the third
section of the defense. "We say that because you won a
box in the first election does not mean you should win a
box in the second election-," Brown said. Stacks
campaigned more extensively in off-campus areas
between the first election and the runoff. Brown said.
This could account for the change in the number of votes
at some off-campus boxes, he said.
The final section of Stacks' defense will focus on a
computerized survey conducted on a sample of 80
percent of the persons who voted at four off-campus
x boxes in the first election and 86 percent of the people
who voted at those same boxes in the runoff. The survey
presents statistics on who voted in both elections and
where they voted both times.
Jil Linker, Elections Board chairperson, will be called
to the witness stand to interpret the survey results and to
comment on voter drop-off in the past three years
between primary and runoff elections. Linker also is
expected to state that no detectable fraud was found in
terms of the number of ballots cast and the number of
persons registered to vote.
Cooper said he had no idea how long the hearing will
last or how long it will take to reach a decision. "We're
not going to come out until we get a decision," he said.
Jernigan said his brief points cut flaws in the elections
rules and that the election was "maintained at the
convenience of the Elections Board instead of at the
convenience of the student body." Jernigan and counsel
David McKinnon said they have a stong case. "I'm
optimistic but not confident," Jernigan said. '
In other election developments. Stacks said he paid an
$81 dollar. fine for exceeding the allowable campaign
expenditures limit by $2.85.
