  • The^stern Carolinian THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1977 Vol. XUI, No. 30 CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA Traffic suggestions considered by RAY CONEYS Staff Writer The special committee studying traffic problems on campus has been considering "anything and everything" in its public hearings Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. Committee chairman Pelham Thomas said that many ideas have been suggested during the hearings, which will conclude today in the Cherokee Room of Hinds University Center from 2 to 4 p.m. Among the suggestions: DA shuttle bus running from the stadium parking lot to classroom areas. DLeveling the present parking area behind the Cullowhee Baptist Church in order to accommodate more cars. DLaying gravel on the old football field behind Hunter Library to use this area temporarily. Future plans call for library expansion and a mini-amphitheater in this area. DCharging fees for individual spaces, for example, a "good" parking space near the classrooms could cost $50 and a parking space far from classrooms, like the football field, could cost $8. DOffcr a greater amount of motorcycle spaces for $2 apiece. DGive better indication to students as to where they can and cannot park, since many student complaints concern "not knowing I couldn't park there." □ Issue carpool stickers for spaces near classrooms. These spaces would be high priced, but the costs could be shared by members of the carpool. Have special carpool parking lots near classrooms. The lots would be attended, and only cars with two or more passengers could enter. DSell individual parking spaces that the owner could put his name on. Professor Thomas pointed out that there are apparently students who would pay large sums of money for their own parking space because some students in the past have accumulated as much as $400 in parking fines. Cont. on Page 3 Swimming, anyone A week-and-a-half of extremely cold weather has jammed the Tuckasegee with a thick layer of ice, as is seen in this view of the river near University Village on River Road. Some observers say the Tuckasegee hasn't had this much ice on it in at least ten years, and maybe longer. However, one oldtimer remarked, 'That ain't nothin'. I've seen this river have so much ice on it, folks was drivin' their wagons down it instead of using the road." [Photo by Fred Barbour]. Co-ed dorms a possibility for next fall by FRED BARBOUR Staff Writer Administrators say co-ed housing may be available in the future, but don't hold your breath waiting for it. WCU Director of Housing Chat Sue plans to organize a committee to suidy the housing situation, and formulate a workable plan for integrating sexes on a small scale, possibly by next fall. Sue said last years effort to provide co-ed housing failed due to lack of student interest and a failure to decide on a suitable plan for relocating students displaced by fhe integration process. Sue was director of a co-ed dorm at Florida State University a few years ago. He believes that "for a co-ed living situation to work, there ought to be- about a 50-50 ratio of men to women, in a building small enough for a community feeling." lhe main problems last year, Sue explained, were that not enough women expressed interest in co-ed living compared to the number of interested men, and some women's opposition to men moving into Buchanan, Helder, or Walker. Assistant Housing Director Sandy Ellsworth said last year's committee was faced with the prospect of moving men out of one of the men's residence halls to make room for women, and relocating these men in one of the smaller women's halls. Many women in these halls felt they had "choice housing" and did not want any men living in the hall, Ellsworth said. Women in Walker Hall (primarily sorority housing) were particularly opposed to any moving, on the grounds that they had put too much into furnishing and carpeting the hall. Although Reynolds hall, with large rooms and semi-private bathrooms, was favored as a candidate for co-ed housing last year, it is more likely that Albright-Benton Hall would be most likely to be converted to co-ed. if a workable plan is arrived at and approved. Cont. on Page 3 Court says racial quotas not justified CHARLOTTE. N.C.-The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has decided that the use of racial criteria and quotas in student governments cannot be justified under the Constitution and has declared minimum quotas for blacks at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill both unlawful and unconstitutional. A three judge panel, speaking January 6. 1977, in the case of Lawrence A. Uzzell against UNC President William C. Friday held that the University requirement of a minimum number of black members of the student government council, and the provision for a mandatory majority of black judges for anv University court trying a black student, "...blatantly fouls the letter and the spirit of both the Civil Rights .Acts and the Fourteenth Amendment." The plaintiffs, two UNC students, argued that racial discrimination is wrong, not only when it is practiced against blacks, but also when it is practiced against whites. Lawrence Uzzell. a graduate student in history said, "The aspect of the opinion which is most striking is that the court agreed with us on every matter of principle." Uzzell said, "Between 1954. with 'Brown vs Board of Education.' when compulsory discrin tion against blacks was prohibited by court decree, and 1971, with 'Swann vs. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education.' when compulsory discrimination against whites was required by court decree this nation enjoyed a fifteen year renaissance ( racial equity. The decision represents a revival < that spirit of racial fairness and respect for indiv dual rights which so promisingly began with 'Brown' and which was so tragically interrupted with 'Swann.' " Ihe decision overruled an earlier opinion of federal District .Judge Eugene A. Gordon, of Greensboro. North Carolina, which contended that the quota provisions, "...were in no way discriminating -toward plaintiffs." The circuit court disagreed, stating that. "We reverse now on the plain arid simple ground thai, without either reasonable basis or compelling interest, the composition of the Council (and the courts) is formulated on the basis of race...the general oftensiveness ascribed to the usages is that thev contemplate racial qualifications that cause the plaintiffs to suffer disadvantages at the University because they are not of the favored race."
