The revised Thornton Report on UNC's
undergraduate curriculum, called a whole new
document with more flexibility than, the original,
will be made public soon after Labor Day, Samuel
Williamson, dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences, said Friday.
The report probably will be implemented in the
fall of 1932, one year later than originally intended, -Williamson
said.
Because the expected date of implementation has
been extended, he said, there will be plenty of time
for student hearings. Williamson said
administrators are looking for such input.
Student Body President Bob Saunders said he
was pleased with the change in the report's
timetable and said the call for student hearings was
a major concession. In the spring semester of 1930,
Saunders had criticized the administration for
trying to rush the report through.
"The report has changed dramaticallynot the
content but the process," Saunders said. "Student
Government's main problem with the Thornton
Report was the way they were rushing it through.
People were calling it the 'Thornton Express.'"
The revised report allows more flexibility than the
original Thornton Report by including fewer
required courses, Williamson said.
The original report, submitted to Williamson in
June 1979, had 18 required courses for each student
in the College of Arts and Sciences, 14 of which
.would be taken during the freshman and
sophomore years. ' , -
Under the current curriculum, a student must
take at least 12 required courses in General College.,,
Under the revised report, approximately 15 courses
would be required, Williamson said.
' "The original report was totally
unimplementable, and I hear they have toned it
down," Saunders said. "They've decreased the
number of required courses and increased the
number of offerings."
The report, revised this summer on the
recommendations of nine subcommitties, will be
submitted to the full 'Committee on. General
Education today. It will be reviewed at several other
meetings .before being made public, Williamson
said. - '
After the committee has reviewed the report,
several hearings will be held to determine student
opinion before a final version is submitted to the
Faculty Council for approval.
, Saunders said the hearings will last through
October.
"The Student Government win definitely be
active," he said. "If more time is needed again,
we'll definitely ask for it. We want the report to be
rational and orderly, not hastily prepared."
The Committee to Review the Undergraduate
Curriculum, appointed in April 1978, prepared the
original report under the chairmanship of English
Professor Weldon E. Thornton.
The original Thornton Report, criticized by
faculty and students for being too restrictive,
divided the curriculum into categories of basic skills
and perspectives.
The basic skills requirements included: a two
course sequence in composition, a two-course
sequence in mathematical science and a four-course
sequence in a foreign language.
In the perspectives category, the original report
included more stringent requirements in the
sciences, westernnon western cultural perspectives,
aesthetic and humanistic categories.
In April of 1980, nine t subcommittees were
formed at Willianson's request to make
recommendations on the report.
Their recommendations included the adding of a
, speech requirement and the reduction of science,
humanistic and aesthetic requirements.
Last year, Wiliiamsan said, "It's (the report)
simplifying life for students. It's to let them know
why they're taking what they're taking." '
If the revised report is accepted, it will be only the
third time in this century that General College
. requirements have been changed. Previous changes
were made in 1955 and 1969. .

' Parking on campus won't be any easier for UNC
students this year, and a Student Government
. traffic official says students should learn to live with
the parking situation.
Student Government Parking and
Transportation Committee Chairman Lee Carr said
UNC has no plans for more student parking, except
for spaces at the planned student athletic complex,
and though no spaces have been lost permanently to
, construction this year, 60sp'aceiri-the'N-3 lot have
bcen'jtakeQernpora'riljf ' becaus pf qnstnirtiotn
the area. Last year, 600 spaces were lost to'
construction.
Higher parking violation fines also will be
greeting students this year. During the summer, the
' fine for parking without a sticker was raised to $20
and the penalty for parking in handicapped spaces
and fire lanes went up to $25.
But there is a little good news for students who
were ticketed last week. Any student who got a
ticket for parking in S-l, S-2, N-l, N-2 or N-3 lots
last week can have his ticket voided. But an appeal
must be filed to void the ticket or get a refund, Carr
said.
The voiding is being done because students didn't
know those lots were reserved for staff and faculty
members, he said.
And because the UNC Traffic Office doesn't
have enough temporary permits to give to students
who qualified for them, the F lot on Manning Drive '
and the P lot on Airport Road won't be ticketed this
week so that students who couldn't get their
temporary permits will have a place to park, Traffic
Office Administrative Assistant Carolyn Taylor
.said. But traffic monitors will be looking for all
other parking violations, she added.
Those students who did qualify for a parking
permit must pick up their permits in Peabody Hall
by pEUonScpti Students who have decided
Uhey don't want their new permits can cancel them
and 'ger a full refund until Sept. 12. After that day,
any permits not claimed will be canceled, and then x
every Tuesday the traffic office will sell stickers on a
first come, first serve basis.
Anyone turned down for a permit may apply for
a Student Government hardship permit. Student
Government was allocated 160 spaces in lots N-4,
S-3A, S-4 and S-5 for hardship cases, Carr said.
Requests for these permits are handled on a case-by-
case basis'. Students may pick up a form in Suite C
of the Carolina Union. A list will be posted at 4
p.m. Sept. 8 of those who qualified. Any student
may apply for any reason, Carr said.
Student Government has been getting a steady
flow of applications, he said.

Being closed out of a dorm and then tripled can
turn into an unexpected pleasure. Just ask the
three male upperclassmen living in 316 Winston
who are surrounded by 47 women. Not bad odds.
It all started when Junior Andrew Vanore and
sophomores Wilbert "Lynn" Holmes and
Knovell Hankins weri closed out of . their dorms
last year and put on the waiting list.
When the three finally received their room
assignments, they did quick double takes.
"I wondered if theiy had changed (third floor
Winston) around," Vanore said. "I came up here
and it was all womeiL Tsaid, 'No this can't be
right.'" '
Vanore was the firit of the three to move into
the former study roou
"My mother was helping me-to move in,"
Vanore said. "She said, 'Do you realize that it's
an all-girl hall?' I had a negative attitude about
being closed out. Now it's negative about this
situation being tempdrary.". t .
"At first, when I fcot closed out, I thought it
was the pits," Knovell Hankins said" I expected
to be tripled. I didn't know it would be like this.
It's a big-time changs. But at least they should let
us use the bathrooms.; (on the floor)."
Since third floor is an all-girl floor for all
practical reasons, the three must trek to the fourth
or second floor of this coed dorm to use the
facilities.
"I think the girls are more inconvienced,"
Vanore said. "But they have been real nice so far
about it."
H? said if he wants to brush his teeth or has an
'emergency, the girls will gladly stand outside a
third floor bathroom!. , - .
"I believe the girls are getting a kick but of it,"
Hankins said.
"We don't want to leave," Holmes said. "We
get along very well."
Linda Drury, resident adviser for third floor
Winston, was mildy shocked when her residence
roster had three guys' names listed.
"I was told that (the hall) was going to be all
girls," she said, "yhen I was going through the
roster, I noticed the' three guys' names.
"It all seems wild like they were overlooked.
Seems like someone made a big mistake putting
three guys on an all-girls floor. But it does make
things a lot more fun,; more relaxed and less tense.
"1 haven't had any complaints. I think overall
(the girls) like them here. For me, I'll feel sad
(when the three) move out. You get to know them
a lot better. They're thrown together in a situation
that's unusual and awkard."
Lynn Tcnnant lives diagonally across fronrthe
guys. "The only bad thing is the fact that you
can't run around in a towel" she said.
("The guys) are real nice so I don't mind them.
If the .situation was reversed, I wouldn't
complain." .
Susan Freedman lives on the other end of the
' , floor and admits that she has not even met the
three residents in question. "I haven t seen mem.
They couldn't be tdo loud or noisy,' ' she said.
"They don't bother me."
Freedman, a freshman from Georgia, said she
has seen other guys on the floor. "I would walk
out in my little nightie, but now it's changed to a
large terry," she said.
Other residents in Winston usually find the
situation laughable. Two male residents said they
think having to go off the floor to use the
bathroom is rather absurd. "That's sad," one
said. "Can't they make one bathroom on the
floor for just the three guys?"

When freshman Carol Burnette left
Charlotte to come to Chapel Hill, she
had more on her mind than the kinds
of questions that worry most
freshmen questions about being able
to adjust to college life, getting along
with a roommate or having a b?3
enough desk.
, She had to worry about whether she
and her two roommates would get
along, if she would have a desk at "all
and how long she would have to stay' in
a tripled room. -
Like 84 other freshmen, Burnette;
was placed in a triple because, as ui
past year, University housing did not
have cnough spaces.
"My main concern was the room,
that it wouldn't be too cluttered,'
Cumette said. "It's kind of crowded. 1
don't have a desk or anything. I need
more room."
She said she will probably go to the
library to study. "I don't want to
impose on them (the other
roommates)," she said.
, Though S4 freshmen are tripled, the
housing situation is considerably better
than it has been in recent years. Last
year at this time, 346 freshmen were in
triples.
" - "The reason we don't have as many
freshmen in triples is because last year
the admissions office overenrolled,"
said Phyllis Graham, administrative
assistant . for the Department of
University Housing.
Last year j,3u iresnmen were
admitted; this year UNC accepted
about 3,300. "I would certainly hope
by the middle of the semester we will
have everybody out (of tripled
rooms)," she said.
Burnette and the other tripled
students will have a 20 percent rebate
to look forward to. For the first time.
rebates for all students in the tripled
rooms will begin on the first day
students come to school. In past years,
rebates did not begin untii students
were in their rooms for a month, and
students who were placed in
permanent rooms be lore that time
received no money.
While students are waiting to be
placed in permanent rooms, they may
run into a few added problems that
wouldn't occur in a room with just two
people.
"Sometimes what will happen is two
people will hitait off, real, well," 'said.
Lucie Minuto, aUiealth educator I
btuaent Heaun bervtces. "And the
third person will fed like he's on the
outside."
She said normal problems that occur
when two people begin to live with
each other might happen sooner than
they normally would.
Burnette said rhe hasn't run into any
