IP V ( V- .... V I By THOMAS JESSIMAN Staff Writer . In a budget meeting late Tuesday night and early Wednesday, the Campus Governing Council voted to increase funding for Black Ink, allowing the newspaper to publish 1 7 times next year instead of the five recommended by the CGC Finance Committee. The CGC appropriated $8,8 1 3 for the Ink, an increase of $3,048 over the $5,765 recommended by the Finance Committee, after former Black Student Movement Chairman Allen Johnson told the council the Finance Committee recommendation was unfair in light of the fact that Ink staff members receive no salaries. "1 have totalled up the salaries of other student-funded publications and it comes to $6,235," Johnson said. "We submit that the Black Ink with its 2,000 copies reaches a diverse audience of faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, whites and blacks. We have a very significant white readership.'' Johnson said. "I'm very pleased with the increase because it will allow black students at L) NC to continue to voice their own opinions." said David Squires, former Black Ink editor. "Also. 1 7 or 1 8 issues as opposed to 1 2 will give the new staff the opportunity to develop as good journalists," Squires said. CGC Rep. Tim Rafferty, member of the CGC Student Affairs Committee, introduced the amendment to the BSM budget. "I think that any ol the council members who have read the Black Ink realize the diff erent viewpoint offered by it. a viewpoint which is shared by the black community here at UNC, and is educational to those outside of the community." Rafferty said. The Yackety Yack received a student government appropriation of $8,859. an increase of $ 1 .196 over the Finance Committee recommendation. But an amendment to fund a number of salaried positions was defeated. Chrisann Ohler. past editor of the Yacketv Yack. said it was unfair for the Yack with a staff See BUDGET on page 2 1 Mm sJxv -.w. s 1 - V FNCx DTHAndy James CGC Rep.

OTHWiH Owens Everett, Lewis and Aycock leave Morehead Confederation under unanimous vote dDWeF (Dm SI plrt By MARTHA WAGGONER Staff W riter " The Residence Hall Association Board bf Governors voted unanimously Wednesday to declare Everett, Lewis and Aycock independent dorms, allowing them to leave the Morehead Confederation. Residents of the three Lower Quad dorms had voted to leave the confederation by the two-thirds majority required in the Morehead constitution in a referendum April 18. The RHA board also declared all Upper Quad dorms independent. Lower Quad residents had expressed an interest in forming an Olde Campus residence college with Upper Quad. RHA President William Porterfield will chair a committee of the Lewis, Everett, Aycock, Manly, Mangum, Ruff in and Grimes executive councils to select a temporary representative of the dorms to serve in the RHA board until the end of September. The board will then reconsider the temporary grouping, Porterfield said. Lewis President Gary Beavers said he feels certain the dorms will have a constitution prepared by September and ask for recognition as an Olde Campus residence college. Residents of Stacy and Graham, the remaining two Lower Quad dorms, also voted to leave the confederation, but the vote did not meet the required two-thirds majority. Former Aycock President Karen Butler said she has reservations about dividing the Lower Quad dorms. "I'd like to express the sentiment that Lower Quad dorms stay together as a cohesive unit," she said. "The division between Lower Quad may be much more harmful than not having an Olde Campus. . When I voted yes, I was saying 'yes. I want everybody to get out of Morehead. The situation is a whole new one to me. Beavers said Lewis residents would not want to remain in Morehead. even if leaving meant splitting up the Lower Quad dorms. "I personally can't see my dorm staying in Morehead," he said. Besides recognizing the seven dorms as independent, the board also recognized Stacy, Cobb, Graham and Joyner as the Morehead Confederation. The motion also included a clause to choose a temporary RHA representative from Spencer, Triad and Old Well, whose representative once served Upper Quad, as well. The board originally intended to vote on the Morehead issue at its April 19 meeting, but it postponed the decision because of controversy caused by the distribution in Lower Quad dorms of an April 3 Daily Tar Heel editorial advocating an Olde Campus residence college. Residents involved . in the printing and distribution of the editorial were present at Wednesday's meeting and were questioned by board members. Aycock President Shari Raymond read a statement to the board, saying seven representatives of Upper and Lower Quad decided to print and distribute the flyers containing the editorial. Raymond said. she paid for the printing cost of the flyers, but others have promised to repay her. Former Lewis Vice President Matt Matthews said approximately 220 flyers were distributed at a cost of $6.15. By JIM HUMMEL Staff Writer There is a growing concern among women faculty member hired several years ago in affirmative action programs that they will be denied tenure, Miriam Slifkin, former president of the Chapel Hill chapter of the National Organization lor Women, said Tuesday. The programs were initiated in 1972 after the federal government said universities would have to comply with anti discrimination guidelines stated in the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Discrimination in college athletics expenditures prompted Title IX of a 1972 education act. The guidelines laid down in the act are raising the concern of UNC Athletic Director William Cobey. "I think women faculty members have made gains in 1975 and 1976. but the situation has grown worse and women are being turned down when it comes to tenure," Slifkin said. "I don't think UNC-Chapel Hill is worse than anywhere ' . -k I -Si : s -',9 ..' ' UQL Cobey else, but I've gotten calls from people telling me what's going on. Many feel that the initial sentiment favoring affirmative action has died down and set up a situation in which women continue to be discriminated against in tenure procedures. "We haven't been keeping up." Slifkin said. "The women tend to a little frightened. Some necks have been chopped off. "The way things look, women have been treated badly," she said. "My feeling is that if it's happening here, it's going on elsewhere." Meanwhile, an intense battle is being waged over HEW's involvement in anti-discrimination guidelines for college athletics. The main dispute has been 'over equal expenditures for men and women participating in varsity sports. An interpretation issued last December calls for "substantially equal per capita expenditures." but exempts "big-time" football and basketball programs that bring in a substantial amount of revenue for a school's athletic programs. HEW Secretary Joseph Califano recently expressed dissatisfaction with the progress of colleges in complying with the guidelines. . - - -' - "Their guidelines are not consistent with what we believe is right," Cobey said. "The thing I fear most is that if HEW carries this thing to its logical conclusion, we would only have two men's sports (basketball and football) and a wide range of women's sports." The main argument among larger schools is that unless football and basketball were exempted from the guidelines, their other programs would not survive. In fiscal year 1977-1978, UNCs athletic department made approximately $3.5 million. About 70 percent came from football and basketball. "We are in a minority of only about 1 50 to 200 institutions that are producing significant revenue in football and basketball," Cobey said. Cobey said a Title IX committee, which he serves on, sent recommendations to HEW after the new guidelines were issued in December. "Overall, Lfeel we should question whether HEW should be involved," he said. "We are not federally funded. They have overstepped their bounds. "They have no legal right to get involved. 1 don't like the federal government making decisions for our institutions." Cobey said Title IX may have helped other schools move toward equaUzingwomen's and men's sporis," but he said the legislation was not necessary for UNC-Chapel Hill. Cane Creek cited eighth in line us water source By CAROL C ARNEVALE Staff Writer A consulting firm's economic analysis of sources for a local water supply placed the proposed Cane Creek reservoir eighth in a list of 1 1 possible sources, it was learned Wednesday. The report, submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers Wednesday by L.E. Wooten and Company Engineers of Raleigh, lists the Haw River as the most economical water source. The Corps hired the Wooten company to analyze the economics of the water projects because there were differences between separate Orange Water and Sewer Authority and Corps cost estimates for Cane Creek and several alternative sources. Previous OWASA cost analyses put Cane Creek first and the Haw River fourth out of seven alternatives examined in a study that measured costs over a 25 year period. The report dealt with only the economic aspects of the sources, and not with environmental or social criteria. Corps and consulting officials emphasized. Frank Yelverton of the Corps Regulatory Functions Branch said the extent of the effect of the report on the Corps review of OW AS A's request for a dredge-and-fill permit for the Cane Creek project will not be known until after Corp and OWASA officials discuss the report and other considerations.

The bill would allow the 16 University campuses to apply for ABC permits to sell the beverages. The bill 'states the individual boards of trustees at each campus must approve the action before sales may begin. Thomas W. Lambeth, chairman of the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees, said Wednesday the board would consider the attitude of the University administration and town officials as well as student feelings if the bill is passed. Lambeth said he did not think the UNC-CH trustees would object, especially since Orange County has passed liquor by the drink. UNC Board of Governors member Watts Hill submitted a similar suggestion for consideration which was referred to committee for study at the board's March meeting. Student Body President .J.B. Kelly said he will ask members of Student Government to write their state senators and representatives in support of the bill. Snam schedule All 9:00 A.M. Classes on MWF All 2:00 P.M.

Program expanded Orieiitutiofi to offer mnore on ucudemics By C AROLYN WORSLEY Staff W riter A greater emphasis on academics and a shift in the scheduling of placement tests will be two changes in an expanded orientation program this fall. "The University needs more of an academic atmosphere among the new students." said Orientation Commission chairman Lisa Harper. The commission has planned more activities centered around academics and campus organizations to stress this aspect of the University during orientation, she said. Plans for orientation activities, which will last eight days, are still tentative pending finalization of programs during the summer, said Barbara Polk, program assistant in the Division of Student Affairs and orientation adviser. One tentative activity scheduled is a series of one night seminars in the residence halls. The seminars w ill be run by faculty and staff and will deal with Issues new students are likely to face in college life, such as campus black-white relationships, values, chairenges in college and alcohol education. "We would like to incorporate more programs like the seminar program." Polk said. Placement tests in foreign languages, mathematics and English w ill be administered to new students during the week. New students will know their course placement before the start of classes since results of the tests will be available before registration begins in Woollen Gym, said Donald Jicha, associate dean of General College. "This will allow the new students to get it all over and done with before the start of classes and not be plagued by uncertainty in their schedules," he said. Placement tests have previously been given after the beginning of classes. General College, Arts and Sciences and departmental advisors will be available for conference with students See ORIENTATION on page 2 Car poolers to get priority treatment By SHANNON BRENNAN Staff W riter A resolution passed Tuesday night by the Campus Governing Council may affect some students' chances for getting parking stickers next year. The resolution extends high priority for parking stickers to commuters who carpool, said Warren Collier, Student Government transportation coordinator. "Carpoolers jump over everybody," Collier said, "seniors and juniors." The resolution guarantees half of the spaces in the N-4-A lot to commuters and the other half to residents, he said.
