Six of the seven dorms making plans to become Olde Campus
Confederation voted Tuesday to be included in a constitution
that changes the six independent organizations into a
confederation.
Aycock, Everett, Lewis, Manly, Grimes and Ruffin voted to
form a confederation. Mangum was the only dorm that voted not
to be put into the confederation.
In March 1979, residents of Aycock, Everett and Lewis voted
to leave the Morehead Confederation in hopes of forming a new
confederation with Upper Quad (Mangum, Manly, Grimes and
Ruffin), Graham and Stacy. The residents of Graham and Stacy
voted to remain in Morehead Confederation, however.
Jim Eacker, Olde Campus representative for the Residence
Hall Association Governing Board, said the dorms chose a
confederation rather than a residence college because RHA
regulations prohibit a dorm from withdrawing from a residence
college.
As a confederation; the dorms will have one new constitution.
Social fee allocation and officer elections will also change.
The results of the vote to approve the confederation were:
Aycock, 57-0; Everett, 20-2; Lewis, 41-0; Manly, 32-4; Grimes,
19-1; Ruffin, 23-3 and Mangum, 24-28.
William Porterfield, outgoing RHA president, said each dorm
houses about 100 people, even though the largest number of
people voting was 57. Porterfield said that laws regarding such an
election do not require the majority of the residents to vote.
"The turnout of the people voting seemed to range from about
20 to 60 percent and 1 think when you look at that on a campus
wide basis, that was not such a low turnout," he said.
Porterfield also said he thought more people did not vote
because they were not as aware as they should have been that a
vote was taking place and because some people simply do not
take interest in that type of issue.
I don't think it w as as much a problem of awareness as it w as
saliency." he said.
He also said he thought there was such little opposition among
voters because those people who voted may have been the ones
who w orked with it last year and supported the confederation.
If Mangum decides later to join in the confederation, he said
they may do so through the Olde Campus constitution.
Robert Bianchi, treasurer of Mangum, was Mangum's
representative to the Olde Campus Constitution Committee.
Bianchi said that although he favored the constitution, he was
pleased w ith the turnout of the people in his dorm. But he added
that he would have liked to have had voting in each dorm instead
of having just two central locations for the voting.
1 just think that if it had been in the dorms possibly more
people would have voted," Bianchi said.
He said he had no idea why most Mangum residents voted
against a confederation, but he said. "I think some people didn't
like the ratio."
If all seven dorms joined in a confederation the male-female
ratio would be 500 to 200.
Bianchi said another concern among Mangum residents was
the SI. 50 that would have been taken out of the residents' social
fees for an area account.
Maybe we just weren't ready for it, he said. It's not like wccan
never get into it. The w ay the confederation is set up you can still
get in. I don't know, maybe next year we can still get in.
"I don't think our dorm is going to be left out in the cold
because we've functioned well this year as an independent dorm
and I don't see why we can't do it again next year."
The Olde Campus constitution went into effect Tuesday and
its residents will elect officers in early March.
More fringe lots foreseen

First of two parts.
Parking stickers for spaces close to classroom
buildings are not easy to come by, and it is
projected that the situation only will worsen later
on.
The loss of approximately 600 parking spaces
this year because of the construction of UNCs new
central library has affected the parking situation
on North Campus, said Richard Sharpe, UNC
parking control coordinator.
"I'm afraid we're going to lose more and more
lots on North Campus due to construction,"
Sharpe said. "We'll probably see more fringe lots
around campus. Right now, there is no way to put
more parking on North Campus."
UNC Planning Director Gordon Rutherford
said a planned addition to Ackland Art Museum
would take an additional 100 parking spaces this
summer. He added, however, that the UNC
Athletic Center would provide 1,000 additional
parking spaces to UNC students:
Rutherford said that although there were no
plans to build additional fringe lots around

spaces are eliminated because of construction.
shuttle bus service for students forced to park off
of North Campus would increase.
In contrast to the crowded North Campus
parking situation, there are about 600 more spaces
available in the F and S-4 parking zones on South
Campus than there are parking permits issued for
those lots, said William Locke, UNC traffice office
administrator. .
"The reason we're hot sold out (in zone F) is
because most people don't want to park and then
have to ride a bus in to campus," he said.
Locke said 359 of the 547 parking spaces in
parking zone F (located on Manning Drive below
Hinton James Dormitory) still were available to
students. Furthermore, 250 of parking zone S-4's
1,290 parking spaces are still available to students.
, A possible reason for the surplus in zone S-4
could be that many University employees who
used to park in zone S-4 are now parking in the
new South Campus parking decks.

If the Department of Housing policy which
guarantees housing to certain groups is not expanded
to include members of the Campus Governing
Council, one member of the newly elected council will
not be able to take her seat next week.
The CGC, the legislative branch of Student
Government, consists of 20 student representatives.
Eight of those members live on campus and they must
live in the district they represent.
Cynthia Currin, a representative from District 8,
which consists of Granville East, Spencer, Carr, Old
East and Old West, was elected for her second year as
a CGC representative in February. She turned her
housing contract in late and it was not accepted. She is
now the 70th woman on the off-campus waiting list. If
she gets back into a dorm, she still cannot take her seat
on the council unless it is a dorm in her district.
Current housing policy guarantees housing to
incoming freshmen, physically handicapped students,
students with medical excuses from Student Health
Service, students with financial hardships and dorm
and area presidents and governors, said Phyllis
Graham, an administrative assistant in the
Department of University Housing.
Members of the CGC said they were not happy with
the policy.
"1 think if they (Housing) do it for governors
(guarantee housing), they should definitely do it for
CGC representatives," Currin said.
Anne Middleton, CGC representative from
District 12 and chairman of the Rules & Judiciary
Committee, has written a proposal concerning the
policy which argues that CGC members should be
given the same treatment as dorm presidents. The
only difference in the CGC proposal and the
unwritten rule that places dorm presidents on the top
of their old dorm list is that CGC members would be
placed on the top of waiting lists ineachdorm in their
district. This would guarantee the students in that
district of getting the representative that they have
elected.
The proposal will be presented to Graham today.
Graham said that when the proposal was submitted,
she and Middleton would discuss it with James
Condie. director of University housing. "We'll see
what results from it," she said.
According to the proposal Middleton is
submitting, if a CGC member is closed out and not
put back into his original dorm or a dorm in his
district, he would have to give up his seat and another
CGC election for that district would be held.
"I would definitely try to move into my district
before my re-election is necessary," Currin said. "It
would probably not occur until late September."
Until that time. District 8 would have no CGC
representative, she said.

Conservation and the development of alternate
energy sources are vital if North Carolina's
economy is to survive high oil prices. Gov. Jim
Hunt said in a report released this week.
Billed as a major policy statement of the Hunt
re-election campaign, the report called for the
development of peat, water, solar, and other
available energy resources. If re-elected. Hunt
pledged to present the 1981 General Assembly
with acompletc package of tax incentives designed
to encourage local development of new energy
resources.
"We can in this state in the next 10 to 20 years
develop new sources of energy that will replace
millions of barrels of foreign oil," Hunt said. "It is
going to be a tremendously difficult undertaking,
but we have no choice."
While presenting only a few specific energy
proposals. Hunt stressed his general commitment
to an intensive energy development, education,
and conservation program. "We've got to change a
whole system," Hunt said. "We're talking about
getting people thinking a whole different way."
Instead of any concrete proposal. Hunt's report
is more a research paper encompassing a large
number of alternate energy possibilities, said
Stephanie Bass, the governor's campaign press
secretary.
"It would be a mistake to single out anything in
particular at this time." Bass said. " I here arc a lot
of resources this state can use, and we're trying to
encourage as much public feedback as possible."
In a state that imports almost 99 percent of its
energy, the development of peat, solar and wood
energy resources probably would achieve the most
towards reducing a risky dependence on foreign
and out-of-state energy markets. Bass said.
Hunt's report emphasized the energy potential

Jimmy the Greek
Still calling t

DURHAM James Snyder looks cool.
Even sitting under a matrix of wires and hot lights in
the WTVD television studio, he remains cool and
collected. He glibly tosses off predictions on what
team will win w hat, knowing thousands of Americans
value his opinion. He never looks ruffled.
He doesn't get ruffled. James "Jimmy the Greek"
Snyder is usually right.
"I've been doing the numbers for 40 years," he says.
"I study, research, analyze and project a number.
That's all; it's just my opinion, an analysis."
The Greek is a very modest fellow. His opinion is
studied by readers of his column in more than 240
newspapers across the country. He publishes annual
magazines on football and basketball, appears weekly
on CBS television during football season, writes
books and makes speaking appearances from time to
time.
He also defies personal analysis.
The Greek is one of those rare individuals who,
when met in person, looks just like he does on
television. He is rotund, with swarthy skin and dark
hair, and is a snappy dresser. Occasional glints of gold
jewelry can be spotted on his fingers and around his
neck.
But all this belies the sharp mind and wit within his
large frame. What can't really be seen on television.
he numbers
but is immediately noticeable in person, is a quick
twinkle in his eyes as he talks.
The twinkle is his sure sign that he can pull your leg
without even trying, like when he says he doesn't give
lines anymore.
Lines, or point spreads, are the life blood of his
business, the business of gambling.
"I don't gamble anymore," the Greek says.
(Twinkle) "I quit gambling in 1961." (Twinkle)
Okay, he doesn't gamble really. He is an
oddsmaker; he tells people who to bet on in everything
from pro football to presidential elections. But does he
refer to himself as an oddsmaker?
"I don't refer to myself as anything," (Twinkle).
He is a man much more given to telling you what he
doesn't do than what he really does. He doesn't
gamble; he doesn't give lines; he doesn't even smoke.
That destroys many people's image of the Greek
sitting in dark, smoky rooms with a stack of $1,000
chips and fistful of well-worn poker cards, fat cigar
neatly placed between his teeth.
But even his image as a writer-businessman-analyst
doesn't fit him as easily as his clothes. The Greek can
destroy that image as quickly as any other one. (How
many nine-to-fivcrs do you know that wear corduroy
bedroom slippers with a blue suit?)
The Greek's best image, is one of his own making
the classic self-made man.
"I got into this business" (he never specifies)
"because ! had to eat," he says. "Every body has got to

eat. and they better find some way toearn their living.
"1 was born and raised inSteubenville.Ohio a real
gambling town. You had to learn something to match
wits with everybody else, or you wouldn't survive very
long."
The Greek did more than survive. He became the
best known oddsmaker in the world, something he
attributes more to endurance than excellence.

'Yack' arrival date sought;
1980 editor sees no delay

Attorneys for the 1979 Ymkeiy Yaik
and Hunter Publishing Company will
discuss differences between the two
parties today and hope to reach a
settlement about the arrival date of the
1979 Yack. editor Chrisann Ohler said
Wednesday night.
"I believe the whole thing with the 1979
Yw k was a big mix-up." said 19K0 Yatk
editor Mary Beth Scarlc. who said she
was optimistic about the 19X0 book.
"I forsce absolutely no dcla with the
'KO book." Seark said. "They (Hunter)
have plant-wide adopted a new policy -signatures."
Seark said that although Hunter had
agreed to let Ohler proof each page of the
1979 Yaik, Ohler never had signed a
formal proofing agreement.
"I have a much more duett linkage."
said Scarlc. who in Icbruary met with
Hunter representatives to outline the
I9K0 Yack, "Hunter will be a lot more
careful. We (the Yiti k sUlf) wll be a lot
more careful
Mv relations with Hunter aic vnnl.
I hccwiiiniuincatioii is goHl,"Scark said.
" I here will be no room for error. I he
circumstances of Hunter's moving and
the color separations caused this (the
delay of the 1979 Yack) to happen
Hunter always had good capabilities."
Seark added that Hunter was trying
out photo print, which is a way to
determine whether a color separation is
satisfactory.
"It (photo print) is corning about as a
part of the new plant. Yai k doesn't know
to what extent they will uvc the photo
print it's more expensive." Seark said
"I believe that Hunter Publishing
Company is the (tncsl yearbook
publishing company in the nation,"
Seark added. "I strongly believe that. It's
evident in the 1979 Yack "
Seark added that new uA
technical adviser. Dick Lowe, may
eliminate several of the probkms that trie
