The bulk of the evening's debate centered around eight budgets recommended by Appropriations Committee, focusing on salaries, wages, SGA travel expenses, and the Student Government's $10,050.00 Projects fund. After a vote of 29-2-1 vote in favor of her yearbook appointment, Miss Davis explained that the Committee on Classifications had denied her appeal to hold both the editorial and Senate positions, and that fighting their decision through the appeals procedure would "damage the book if we wait that long." SGA President Chris Jones then swore her in before the Senate body.

Staff Photo by Paul Braxton UNC-G radio converts to FM, wider program variety planned a -^" . . th* AUMninn titiuiratciifa ttnrl»nlr sir r\ 111A r««r>t Joan Little Staff Writer UNC-G has an FM station this fall. WUAG, with an effective broadcast range of 20 miles, about 19 miles more than the range of the old. defunct station. WEHL-AM. With this increased power output, new staff, and better organization, the student-operated station hopes to produce broadcast material of a much higher quality than before. The idea of an FM station run by UNC-G students, with the broadcast power to cut through the static that has plagued WEHL in the past, has long been in the wind. The impetus to initiate the AM to FM switchover was provided by station manager Gary Kofinas. Last spring negotiations with the SGA for the necessary funds were successful, and the former station's core staff worked Misunderstood through the summer making the conversion. But, according to Kofinas, nothing could have been accomplished without the help of Bill Young, station manager for the Greensboro branch of WUNC-TV. UNC-G has an FM station once, classically-oriented, and not student-run. It had not been in operation for some time, and when Young heard of WEHL's effort to convert to FM he offered to turn the old FM facilities over to the students. Much of the needed renovation and conversion has been executed by the staff themselves. The station's first broadcast was delayed, though, by difficulties with studio rewiring and equipment rebuilding. According to Kofinas the new station has been worth all the trouble. in the evening, progressive rock and jazz interspersed with classical music. Special programs planned by the station include student talk shows, lectures by visiting speakers, music by students, poetry readings and cvoerage of athletic events. Kofinas stated, "We are trying to ... make the station an intersting half-way point between education and entertainment." Stressing that student interst and suggestions for WUAG are welcome, he said, "We're always open to new ideas and experimentation." Specifically, Kofinas mentioned that he was interested in knowing how students would react paying a small amount to convert WUAG, facilities for stereo broadcasting. In conclusion, he said, "We hope to continue to expand in new and different directions of broadcasting as far as music and entertainment are concerned." (Note: WUAG, the student radio station has .been off the air recently due to problems with the FCC. Airing will be resumed, "Maybe tonight," according to Gary Kolfinas, station manager, depending if the difficulties are taken care of. He also said that when broadcasting begins "it will be on a limited basis from 4 p.m. to 1 am.) Reprinted from the GREENSBORO DAILYNEWS The Committee for Economic Development recommends that college tuition rates be more than doubled and an expanded system of student aid be established. The committee, a private organization supported by business and industry, said such action would be one means of achieving quality education and equal opportunity. It made its recom-mendations in a $400,000 report entitled "The Management and Financing of Colleges," issued Sunday. the actions of the Executive Cabinet. All attempts to limit his $500.00 Travel allotment for this and future trips failed. Three organizations were approved for Type 1 (non-funded) classification: Baha'i Faith, Full Gospel Student Fellowship, and Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. Approval of a Type 1 of chapter of Young Americans for Freedom was postponed until its head, Rorin Platt. could be present for questioning by the body next week. Friends was newly - approved for Type II junior cOfletes and land-grant ^ Judicja] wageg to^ (funded) cu„ificalion. lower amount than proposed. Neo-Black Society's new posts. After forty-five minutes of debate Mr. Harris withdrew his resolution. Dena Squires, Reynolds, noted towards the end of the meeting that after nearly six hours of debate that the only 100% tuition jump suggested by group^ representing public colleges, ($7867.77), and Student Orientation Committee ($4210.00) were passed with little debate by the body. Debate on Coraddi. Judicial, and SCORE. centered on the organizations' allotments salaries and wages. A proposal by Mr. Harris to delete salaries for the rary magazine was defeated by the body, as were similar moves to delete S.C.O.R.E.'s secretary and to universities. Allan W. Ostar, executive director of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, said it is "a direct attack on millions of middle- and lower-income American families." "The CED report appears to express the views of a few multiversities," he said. "It does not speak for millions of students, for veterans seeking an education, for tabor union and farm families, nor for most public colleges and universities." The 104-page report recommends that colleges improve their management and hold down costs, which have risen at nearly twice the The Mporf-**tows- fhe same rate of infhrtrorr in recent general direction: of the Nixon administration, the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education and the College Entrance Examination Board. The tuition proposal came under fire immediately from the National Student Lobby and organizations years, by giving presidents more authority and limiting tenure to one-half the faculty. The budgets finally passed intact with Coraddi receiving $5674.82, S.C.O.R.E. $224.00, and Judicial $1693.40. Chris Jones explained the large SGA Projects amount as $5000 in a cash fund for the Problem Pregnancy loan program, with additional large blocks of money going to Elliott Hall's Concert-Lecture Series, Founder's Day fireworks, and Beer Blasts. In addition, $375 may be put towards a speaker to be invited in conjunction with the Elliott University Center. Spirited debate centered on the student body fully funding Kevin Mopjfi. Office of Communications, for an October flight to the Detroit chapter of UNC-G Alumni to give a speech. Moore strongly Constitution was approved, so that that organization may also petition for funds. A resolution sponsored by Dena Squires condemning the University for charging Student Teachers for staying in the dormitories when class attendance is required of them was passed unanimously by the body. A second resolution, sponsored by Ben Sells, thanked Dr. McRae for his help to the campus, particularly for his work with Friends since its institution. The resolution was passed by acclamation. Senate President Cheryl Sosnik announced to the are planning to negotiate with the leaders of Hinshaw Hall, newlv seceeded dormitory, in See SENATE, page 4 towing policy here explained[ An article in the September 6 issue of THE CAROLINIAN ("UNC-G parks new policy") appears to have been misunderstood by several people on campus. This article is being written in hopes of clarifying the previous article. "Vehicles creating a traffic hazard are first priority to being towed." said Director of Security Jim Blevens. Thi: includes any veljicles blocking service drives, double parked, incorrectly parked, etc. These vehicles may be towed without warning. "There are some areas on campus that are pressed for space ."'Mr. Blevins cited the "A" parking area around the Health Center as an example. These spaces must be left free for doctors and nurses to use while at work in the Health Center. Emergency parking spaces must by kept vacant. Towing will be done in such areas needing parking space on a second priority basis. Vehicles that are unregistered or parked in the wrong area or that class of permit (except as indicated in the second priority) are considered third priority. Campus police officers carry a list of the number of tickets a vehicle has received. Vehicles receiving three or more tickets may be towed away at the owner's expense. "We have new equipment, new albums, and a generally better format in all areas of production," he said. "Our shows are better planned and bought out than was the case in the past - we're not just throwing albums on like last year." New legal service instituted to aid Honor Code accused WUAG's new music schedule, as projected by program director Bill Payne, calls for continous rock during the morning. During the afternoon this fare will include lighter rock. folk, and Coraddi wins literary award CORADDI. UNC-G's literary magazine, has been announced a winner in last year's Coordinating Council of Literary Magazine's contest. The 1972-3 magazine, edited by Elizabeth Lustig, was a third-prize winner. Over 150 magazines were entered in the contest, from universities throughout the country. All three issues of last year's magazine were entered into the competition, and over half the work published had to be by undergraduates to be eligible. Coraddi was judged on tormat. content, variety, and general adherence to proper and imaginative form The award carried a $100/30 prize with it. There is a new facet to the University Judicial System It is "Harris and Moore: Defense Alternatives." This organization created by Greg Harris and E. Kevin Moore, is designed to provide an alternative to the defense system in Honor Court. In the past when an accused student turned himself in for an offense, he is assigned a defense counselor from judicial defense staff. Under the new plan, the student is informed of the new organization and is then given the choice between the assigned defense counselor, or having Harris and Moore handle the case. Defense Alternatives will offer a more in-depth defense than ever before according to Moore. For example, the case brief will extend beyond guilt and innocence. In the case of a guilty plea the "degree of guilt" will be examined, an area neglected in the past. Moore pointed out. It was further pointed out that both Harris and Moore have at least one year experience each on Honor Court Staff. Harris and Moore will not solicit cases for court. If a student wishes to be' represented by the organization, he must request their services and then contact the organization. Students may contact Defense Alternatives by calling 379-5616 (SGA) and* ask for Kevin Moore or leave message. The student will be contacted within 12 hours of the message. This service is available for free. Harris and Moore expressed their hope that their organization will not be viewed as a couple of students playing "Perry Mason." "Rather it is an honest attempt to give an accused student a bit more control over his hearing," states Moore. Senator Doug Harris Staff Photo by Paul Braxton Sabbattical Tales Hawaii costly, cultural smorgasbord Golden Chain Nominations Open October 1 -12 Nomination Form Available At Information Desk Elliot University Center ' Cynthia Bland Staff Writer Of all the places where professors can spend their leaves of absence, Hawaii is perhaps one of the least expected. Yet. Dr. Sunnan Kubose was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Hawaii last fall semester. "I just had a good time." he commented. Dr. Kubose taught two courses at the University, one in child development and one in adolescent development. He observed in use the Keller Teaching Method for introductory psychology courses, which he is now employing at UNC-G. The method allows the student to work through a Unit Mastery System at his own rate. "It seems to be working out pretty well," he said. During his stay in Hawaii, Dr. Kubose also read and did . research in the field of Asian psychology, and viewed "a lot of material in films not available other places." By living there, Dr. Kubose was able to make many observations on Hawaii in comparison to the mainland - some negative, but most positive. "From what I can tell," he began, "the tourist trade is booming to the detriment of the place. It's crowded - traffic jams are pretty bad. Food prices are high; everything is high because they have to be shipped in. You especially have a susceptibility to dock impossible for someone with a middle-income. In two years the median home price has jumped from $40,000 to $60,000. It's about double from here to there." Land is so scarce and expensive now in Hawaii that, according to Dr. Kubose, lava land - useless, barren, lava deposits - is having a heyday. People buy it only to sell at a profit to someone else, and so the prices keep rapidly rising. Dr. Kubose made more positive observations concerning Hawaii than negative ones: "I really had a good time there," he continued. 'There are still some fantastic beaches. The UNC-G's psychology professor was able to view exotic tropical fish in their native habitat when he went snorkeling and scuba diving over coral reefs, glimpsing the fish flashing here and there, chasing each other amid the colorful coral. Dress in Hawaii is casual, Dr. Kubose found, with people attired as they "wouldn't dare" here. "Everybody wears those big loud shirts. No one wears shoes, and you don't see a tie anyplace." On his leave in Hawaii, Dr. An aspect of Hawaii that Kubose was able to discover Dr. Kubose particularly enjoyed was the "fantastic variety" of food from "all different cultures - Hawaiian, Samoan, Japanese," etc. He feasted upon such Hawaiian staples and delicacies as poi, tara, lau-lau (spinach with "pork and stuff in 'he middle"), pokiaku (raw fish.usually first-hand the lifestyle, culture, and immediate sense of the history that the Hawaiian people have.
