This total must be paid to the publishers immediately, and payment of an additional $9 thousand in unreported cost overruns is in contention. The Senate body discussed the matter at length, finally deciding to refer the problem to the Media Board for further investigation. Student Affairs Dean Cliff Lowery then gave a report about the University Concert Lecture Series. He noted that the Ferrante and Teicher concert profits helped tremendously to pay the bills incurred by this venture, and urged the Senators to help out by supporting the Series and by urging others to do the same. He outlined some future proposals by the committee, such as student event cards and further use of the reserved seating idea. Lowery discussed two committees now forming to look into campus concerns. The Food Service Committee is to investigate the possibility of a pub on campus, and the renovation of the other food services at UNC-G; another group will investigate the best methods of using all available space in Elliott Hall, both for students and faculty. There will be more information on these two committees later. The State of the Campus address by Chris Jones was next on the agenda. The two main themes of his goals for this semester: "The greatest thing in the world is not where you are going, but how," and "Accomplishment is when we use extra strength for others, not self." Jones listed the new ramp in front of Mclver as one of the accomplishments of last semester; this ramp would be a help to the handicapped students and faculty, thereby allowing more overall use of that facility. the selection of a candidate up to the State Executive Committees of each party in what he termed "smoke filled rooms."

Holshouser said that if the bill was passed, it would present "serious disciplinary problems" in the public school system. Gov. |im Holshouser Staff Pboto by Paul Braxton UNC-G has enough energy, but students may pay more Parks Neill Austin, Jr. Staff Writer "Everyone associated with the University is probably aware of the national energy shortage. Many people have asked how this shortage affects the University and what the University is doing to help with this problem." This was part of a memorandum sent to UNC-G students last November by the Business Affairs office. On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week The Carolinian interviewed Chancellor Ferguson, Mr. their remarks by saying that the mild winter has helped reduce the expected amount of energy consumption.

Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus will present together Himalayan bears, lions, a leopard, a polar bear, a black panther, a puma and tigers all in one cage under the control of the animal trainer Samels. Among the Circus stars performing in the show are tiger master Charly Baumann; the Dimitrovi, Ivanovi and Donevi Troupes of daredevil Cossack horsemen; the unicyclist-comedians of the King Charles Troupe; "Michu," The Smallest Man This is only one of the new additions to the format of WUAG this semester.

This show is tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesdays. In conjunction with The Carolinian, WUAG will feature taped book reviews. The Carolinian, will have a student review of the new book near the date of the radiobroadcast. A weekly feature will be the history of a rock group, a different group each week. This spring, WUAG hopes to air an art show. A lot more jazz-rock (e.g. Chicago) will be played because the station feels that popular music seems to be going in that direction. However, rock will still predominate the station's broadcasting. In the next two weeks, WUAG will be getting some needed equipment for the production room including tone arms. A new transmitter should be in operation in early February to replace the old one, of 1949 vintage. To attract an even larger audience, Station Manager Gary Kofinas is attempting to get approval to convert WUAG to stereo operation. If approved, the conversion would be completed by the end of this year. Sharon Llewellyn, News Director, has made some changes this year in the organization of the news. She is presently trying to get some more news broadcast editorials together. However, the news staff is still short of help. Presently there are thirty disc jockeys, some of whom are doing more than one weekly show. says, "we don't face any real problem in having adequate fuel for the winter." The Chancellor went on to say that he knows of no school south of Washington that is having energy problems. Adds Mr. Gurley of the physical plant, "Our program hasn't been curtailed." Despite this bit of optimism, it was admitted that certain steps have been taken by the school to conserve as much energy as possible. As Mr. Gurley of the physical plant says, "It's not a case of being comfortable any more, but helping out in the crisis." He went on to say that his department is doing as much as is reasonably possible to reduce energy consumption. "We even started as early as last summer." Specifically, the physical plant has reduced electrical use by more than 10% and fuel use more than 15%, reduced the number of bulbs in buildings, attempted to hold the temperature of all the buildings on campus to 68 degrees, reduce the domestic hot water to 120 degrees at the water generator and reduce by a small amount the out-door lighting around campus. In addition, UNC-G students were complimented by all three men as being an important factor in helping the school conserve as much energy as possible. There have been almost no complaints from students about the reductions of energy on campus and many seem eager to help. Asked what students can do to help, Mr. Gurley responded by saying that "students should report any building that is over-heated." Furthermore, students should turn off any lights not in use. Nonetheless, the biggest problem so far as been the cost of fuel. Since last year the cost of energy used at the University has more than doubled. Asked what effect this would have on student fees, Mr. Ferguson of the Business Affairs office expects that energy costs, along with other factors, may necessitate an increase in some student fees. Aesop's Falables come to the stage via the Theatre for Young People Suicide prevention debated for death-ridden UT tower The Theater for Young People at UNC-G'will present its first rock musical, AESOP'S FALABLES beginning on January 27. Adapted and updated from the old Aesop fables, the funfilled new version is an upbeat production that will delight children of all ages. "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Ant and the Grasshopper," "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse," and "The Wolf and the Grapes" are a few of the fables which have been "given a little rock and a little roll" The 27-story University Tower at the University of Texas-Austin is a major campus landmark and a spectacular observation point for visitors. It has also been the scene of more tragedy than any other campus structure in the country. During its construction 36 years ago, a worker slipped from a scaffold and fell to his death. Eight years later, a university instructor plunged to his death from the tower in an apparent suicide, the fust of several. In 1966, the tower was the scene of one of the country's most bizarre mass murders. Charles Whitman barricaded himself on the observation deck with a high-powered rifle and proceeded to shoot 45 people, 13 of them fatally. After each tragedy, the Tower's observation deck is closed for a period of time, like a flag at half-mast. It was closed for two years after the Whitman sniping spree and for nine months after a September. 1971, suicide leap. It is closed today for a'n indefinite period after a freshman apparently jumped to his death from the Tower last month. The latest death was the eighth from the Tower, not counting the Whitman incident. Now the future policy of the Tower's observation deck remains to be decided. The UT student body president would like to see it reopened, but with a plexiglass shield. Others contend that a person determined to commit suicide will simply find another site. But still others argue that the tower shcould permanently be closed to the public because of its historical attraction to the tragedy. The latest suicide victim, for example, apparently didn't pick the Tower simply for expediency to his sad action; he lived on the 24th floor of a high-rise dorm. TYP grasshopper Craig Spradley shivers unprepared in the winter chill. Staff Photo by Bill Hum in the new production. A cast of seven performers includes Danil Torrpe as Jack-in-the-Box, the official fable introducer, Craig Spradley as Horace Hare and Mr. Grasshopper, Jan Powell as Thadius T. Tortoise, Rebecca Bean as Clarissa Crow and Mathilda Mouse, Bob Bodford as Wilfred M.

Four songs give the rock beat thai young people enjoy including "Rock, Rock with old Aesop," and Elvis Presley style "There's Plenty of Time," a frantic "Psychedelic City." and a Sheep's lament - "Baa, Baa, Baa." ' We are sure that children will find this an exciting theatre-going experience," says Tom Behm, TYP Director. "As our first rock musical, we feel it's an important step in presenting plays for the audience of the 1970's.
