  • TheVrfestern Carolinian THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1978 Vol. XLIII, No. 20 CULLOWHEE, N.C. 'Long overdue' Liberalization Bill to be revised Going... going... gone DREW CLARK PHOTO It seems some poor fellow has just lost a few dollars. by EDDIE YANDLE Senate Reporter A bill that has "been long overdue" according to Senate Pro-Tern Wanda Nelson passed through the senate Monday night paving the way for a revision of the Student Bill of Rights by the Board of Governors. The bill, sponsored by the Office of the President and Vice-President, liberalized the Bill of Rights, guaranteeing students protection against unreasonable searches and seizures in their dorm rooms; the right to have access to all their personal records; the closing of any public knowledge of past disciplinary actions by the institution; and the confidentiality of grade reports between the institution and the student. Approval was voiced by members of the senate, best expressed by Sen. Richard Sullins who agreed with Sen. Nelson. "This bill is really super...it guarantees some basic rights for the students," he said. Vice-President Gary Brown sponsored a bill to revise the housing contract of WCU to permit students to cancel their contracts between semesters if the Housing department is notified prior to December 10 of the fall semester. "They're (students) having to go against unnecessary obstacles trying to get out of the contract. They're having to think of all sorts of devious little schemes to get out." Vice-President Brown said. Vice-President Brown continued, "...there is a definite need to break the contract during the semester because dorm life will drive you crazy. Even though you've not gone to a doctor, you know you've got to get out." A special appropriations list was adopted by the senate giving such clubs and organizations as OES, The Nomad and The Western Carolinian extra funds to work with through the fall semester. Comptroller David Turbyfill said he was a "little scared" when he was told by Presidet Patrick Murphy that the FTE (Full-Time Enrollment) for the spring semester was 4900. But when he figured out "the true average it was a little over 5100. giving us a little extra money to work with." In other business, a bill to curtail tardiness by senators to senate meetings was sponsored by Sens. Joyce Allen and Jeri Archer. The revision would require senators to be present al the senate meetings before the end of old business according to Sen. Allen, "because that's when the senate does all the voting...anil.if a senator comes in after the voting, he's not really made any input to the senatorial procedure." Sen. Allen also sponsored a bill to establish steps from Ihe west side parking lot of Buchanan dormitory because "(luring certain weather conditions this hill is inaccessible...from the parking lot." Hew controversy continues University system President William C. Friday said Tuesday he will recommend the UNC Board of Governors reject an eleventh-hour requirement by the US Department of Health, Education and Welfare for the UNC desegregation plan. HEW asks that the board eliminate duplication of programs offered in both traditionally black and white institution. Eliminating the duplicated programs would be necessary only to the extent that it is necessary to "dismember the formerly racially dual system." said a memo from David Tatel, director of HEW's Office of Civil rights. The Tatel memo also stated that due to the vast amount of work necessary to eliminate the duplicated programs. HEW would accept any desegregation plan in which the board agrees to finish by July 1 studies necessary for the elimination of duplicated programs. The HEW memo also expressed dissatisfaction with the UNC board's approval of 12 new programs for the six black institutions and, according to Friday, a redefinition of the "good faith effort." "We look on that (the new requirements) as educationally unsound," Friday said Tuesday. "But even more important, the authority to make changes is put in the hands of a federal agency, not in the Board of Governors, the trustees of the institutions or the faculty members." Friday said the memo from Tatel is in effect, a statement that the UNC plan is unacceptable. However, the president of the 16-member system said he could not speculate on Califano's final ruling on the plan. "1 don't know what Califano's (HEW Secretary Joseph Califano) ultimate decision will be," Friday said. "It it is to say our plan is not acceptable, 1 informed Mr. Tatel a few days ago I couldn't support this new plan." Friday said to comply with the new HEW requirement "would be to set aside all of our long-range planning and all of our planning to eliminate racial duality." He said liial within the past 36 hours he has talked with the chancellors of the six traditionally black institutions, and they support his decision to oppose the new HEW requirement. William A. Johnson of Lillington. chairperson of the Board of Governors, said he had not seen the Tatel memo. But he said if the program elimination is a requirement made by HEW. the board will not go along with the federal agencv. "I feel sure the board will not approve that kind of requirement." Johnson said. Under the new requirement, the board would have to study any program, other than basic core requirements, offered at both black and white institutions in the same geographical proximity. For example, under the new requirement, either the library science program at UNC-Chapcl Hill or the library science program at North Carolina Central Universty would have to be eliminated. Friday said he believes the thought behind the plan is to eliminate programs at traditionally white institutions iii order to make students and faculty in the program move to the black institutions. The UNC board has previously said that all the 16 campuses in the state system consist of a "statewide service area." Friday said a careful study would have to be done to see if programs offered at universities in opposite parts of the state would be affected by the rule. Tatel's memo states the UNC board is not committed to offer the 12 new programs for the six black schools approved by the board. However, both Friday and Johnson said approval by the board was the same as a commitment for the programs. Friday said he believes thai Tatel's claim of the board's noncommitment comes from a lack of understanding of what North Carolina does. Friday said HEW also has refused to keep its promise not to cut off federal funds if the board made a "good faith effort" to increase black enrollment by 150 per cent by 1983. Earlier plans had stated that the "good faith effort" was acceptable.
