New ruling means student groups' mailing costs go up By ANDV HODGES Staff Writer A recent ruling on bulk mailing pro cedures means added expenses and in convenience for some of UNC's student organizations. In the past, organizations that were of ficially recognized by the University were allowed the use of the special bulk mail ing permit, which was issued to the University because of its non-profit status. The permit allowed mailing of 200 or more pieces to be sent at 5.2 cents apiece. Within the last few months, however, U.S. Postal Service authorities have notified the University that it can no longer permit student groups to use the special rate. "It is my understanding that it was. their (Postal authorities') interpretation of the law that student organizations did not fit into the description of non-profit organizations as it applied to the Univer sity," said Shirley Hunter, an assistant dean in the department of student life. Gene Skipper, who has been acting postmaster of Chapel Hill for about six weeks, agreed that the change in pro cedure was not the result, of a change in the law but rather a ruling on the current law. He said the permit was issued specifically to the University and it could delegate the use of the permit to other groups, organizations or functions out side the University. Skipper said that since he has been postmaster for only a short time he does not know how the mailings of the student groups originally came to the attention of Postal Service officials. But Skipper said he does know that the Chapel Hill postmaster contacted the Postal Service's rates and classifications office in Charlotte before taking any ac-' tion. Lee Mullis, production coordinator for the Carolina Gay Association's newslet ter, said that the CGA was the first UNC group contacted about the ruling. He said has was notified verbally by someone from the University's mail room in the summer and he received a letter from the Postal Service in September saying the CGA and other organizations would no longer be able to use the special rates authorized to the University. The Postal Service is also billing the CGA $90 for mailing done during the last fiscal year, Mullis said. He said that such action is legal but that he considers it un just. Mullis said the $90 charge is the dif ference in the non-profit bulk rate that the group was charged and the regular bulk rate that it should have been charg ed. 1 Richard Owens, chairman of the Stu dent Consumer Action Union, said that SCAU was not billed for past mailings but that the change does mean added ex penses because it came when the organization was preparing to mail out 4,000 survey forms. He said SCAU was Luncheon Specials available at lunch 11 to 2 p.m. M-F Pizza Buffet $2.95 Spaghetti $1.95 Lasagna $2.95 Salad Bar $1.95 Great Potato . . $1.95 3 Nightly Specials Monday and Tuesday Pizza Buffet All the Pizza and salad you can eat only $3.20 Wednesday Lasagna and Spaghetti Buffet All the spaghetti and salad you can eat or one serving of lasagna and all the salad you can eat only $3.20 - Open Mon.-Thurs. 11 a.m.-midnite.

' , p ' : Lisa Granberry, editor of the 1983-84 Yackety Yack, said the change has been just an inconvenience for the yearbook staff at this point. She said that since the Yack staff was budgeted under the old, non-profit rates, it has postponed mail ings until it can find another way to mail items for less than the normal rates. According to Dorothy Bernholz, direc tor of Student Legal Services, the student groups have two alternatives in dealing with the mailing problem. "The groups will have to get their own bulk rate permits... or they will have to incorporate themselves in such a fashion as to have a non-profit status," she said. To get its own permit, a group would have to pay $40 for the permit itself, $40 a year for . 'ivn., fee and 1 1 cents for each piece mailed. Hunter said many organiza tions might find the costs prohibitive and would therefore choose not to buy the permit. .' Bernholz said she would eventually like to see a large body formed that could in corporate and represent the individual groups in legal and financial affairs. She said the diversity of interests that the in dividual groups represent, however, might be a problem. Campus Governing Council Treasurer Burke Mewborne said the possibility of the CGC's obtaining a permit for use by the groups it funds has been mentioned in finance committee meetings. But, he said, "In order to do that we would have to incorporate, and that would present new problems," he said, "In the past, the University has not been too keen on that." 0VL Come to tt and "Come to Life.
