CaryGoes Barhoppin' The Carolinian Spartans Win! - See Page 5 - "Serving the academic community since 1893. February 2,1978 Vomme LVII Number 2* Tl» University of Neeth 37MM1 WUAG from into silence **»••»kyCMmCck Ice Hampers WUAG Antenna BY SHAWN WALSH Staff Writer To all the loyal fans of WUAG who couldn't find us on your dial last week, take heart. No, it was not due to lack of in-terest or the usual administrative blunders. It was merely the natural result of freezing water. It seems that there are two thin antennae on top of the transmitter, and these froze in the recent ice storm. On Thursday the added weight of their ice covering pulled the two together, shorting out the signal. The radio personnel, and especially the Executive Board, were at a loss as to what action should be taken. Several interesting alternatives were offered. Some of the ideas ranged from the absurd, such as "Send Joey Jackson (Program Director) the-tower to clear off the tec." re the totally rational, as in "Send Paul Cecere up the tower to chew off the ice." The most realistic approach, however, was offered by the mass of the disgruntled D.J.'s, who felt that "since God put it up there, let God get it down." And sure enough, the voice of the unwashed masses was once again heard. By Friday after-noon WUAG was broadcasting normally again. Building Occupied HEW Pressures UNC System Under pressure from the Depar-tment of Health Eduation and Welfare to eliminate or transfer programs within the school system, The University of North Carolina has decided to "stand firm" and "assert its right to maintain itself through the Board of Governors", according to UNC President William Friday. The new guidelines issued by HEW would cause duplicate programs offered in both traditionally white and black cam-puses to be eliminated. Programs effected by the decision would in-clude education, business, nursing, and journalism. Under such guidelines, it is con-ceivable that the School of Nursing at UNC-G would be eliminated in favor of the nursing program at A&T State University. Alumni Invited HEW, in its attempts to desegregate the 16 campus UNC-system, has given the Board of Governors until July 1st to decide which programs can be eliminated or transferred. At this time a report, including estimates of enrollment according to race, must be submit-ted to the federal agency. "It vacates out long range plan," said Friday. "It has nothing to do with educational merits of the programs. It sets it aside." David Tatd, director of HEW's Office for Civil Rights, issued a let-ter to President Friday asking university officials to "develop a new plan which would use transfers, terminations and reassignments of programs as the principal means of changing student attendance patter-ns". Friday, noting that such a request would impose major changes on the University System, said, "I believe we should stand our ground. It's clearly a question of control of our institutions." Friday referred to the new HEW guidelines as "a device clearly in-tended to move people and programs and play a numbers game." The UNC Board of Governors submitted a plan of desegregation to HEW in December. Tatel's letter was in response to the plan proposed by the university. Friday plans to recommend that the Board refuse to accept the new guidlines from HEW. The UNC Board of Governors will meet on Saturday to review the new developments. I WBHsun Friday Committee Plans Commencement BY KATHY WLAZLO Staff Writer The Senior Class Steering Com-mittee has been working hard preparing for the commencement activities. The Senior Class Steering Committee works as a type of class government with Debbie Whitley as chairperson. Debbie, along with the help of the other members of the committee plan the various activities offered to the seniors. The upcoming activities revolve around commencement and the weekend before. Seniors will receive, in the mail, a ballot to vote for the commencement speaker. They are encouraged to vote as soon as possible and put their ballots in the boxes provided in each dorm or in the box at EUC's information desk. Towards the end of February, seniors will receive a newsletter con-sisting of various dates and deadlines about the days to pick up invitations, to vote on Outstanding Senior and alumni officers, and in-formation on caps, gowns, and ring orders. Psych Gets It Together BY RICHARD HODGES Staff Writer After several set-backs in con-struction i he extension to the UNC-G Life Science building has been oc-cupied by the Department of Psychology. Originally* scheduled for completion in February 1977, construction was delayed by an unac- (icipatcd layer of bedrock which hindered the digging of the foun-dation, and the severe 1977 winter. "For the first lime, we are able to consolidate all the teaching and researchfunctionsof the department under one roof," said Dr. Robert Eason. Head of the Department of Psychology. "Our students will have the opportunity to take courses and observe research firsthand in facilities that were especially designed for that purpose-all the way from introductory work to doc-loral studies." The first floor of the building will house general classrooms and a psychological library. Departmental offices and conference rooms will be located on the second floor. The third, fourth, and fifth floors contain specialized classrooms and laboratory space. The sixth floor has four rooms to house the department's laboratory animals. An electronic wiring system allows data from all ten laboratory areas to be monitored by recording computers stationed elsewhere. Two specially equipped operating rooms on the fifth floor feature pneumatic operating tables whose surfaces rest on air cushions capable of absorbing any motion which might affect the subject. The new building took almost two years to plan. The original design called for a seven story building. However, S2.5 million appropriated by the NC State legislature was not enough to cover the cost of con-struction. The building was therefore redesigned as a six story structure. Aid from the Gover-nors Executive Branch enabled the building to be completed. The other big activities planned by the committee are for commen-cement weekend. The committee is trying to make this year's weekend one of the best that UNC-G has had. One change for this year's is that the young alumni have been in-vited to join the weekend. Debbie feels that having the alumni to share commencement with the seniors will make then feel "more a part of the University" and that it will be a "time to remember." The seniors are greatly en-couraged to stay the whole weekend and participate in the various ac-tivities going on. Those activities are the Senior Dance on Saturday, May 13, the Chancellor's speech, a picnic and a formal reception.. The graduates are welcome to bring parents and friends to the reception so they can meet the Chancellor and other administrators. Debbie Whitley would like to thank Dean Shipton and the Dean's Council for all their help and co-operation and she especially wants to thank the members of the com-mittee: Don Bridger, Debi Gering, Amy Dickert, Alan Pike, Heidi Sapp, Susan Huck, Bill McBride. Elnora Anderson, Clarence Moore, Brian Greenwood, Paula C'ogdell, Phil Anderson, and Laura Cook. Debbie states that everyone has "helped a great deal in trying to make this year's commencement one of the best."

".If a parking ordinance were in effect. UNC-G and Greensboro College students would not be able to park on streets in the College Hill area during certain times of the day." said Bill Chambtiss. Chief of Community Planning and Development, at a neighborhood meeting Monday night. Lois McManut of ihc Greensboro City Council, also at the meeting, said. "I think us something thai will have to come inevitably. I believe a study will show the reusability of it." Using a parking nramaarr in California as an example. McMtmat said. "It would be for a particular area or street. Residents would have slickers. Others would be ticketed or towed." If the ordinance is put into effect, visiting friends or relatives will also need a sticker, according to Mc- Manus. ChambtKs pointed out that a parking ordinance in the College Hill area would transfer the problem to another area. "Its not going to do any good to drive the parking out of here and locate n somewhere else." he said. "You haven't achieved anything, you have just shifted the problem." One resident said thai the present ticketing of illegally parted cars in the area is ineffectual "A dottar 10 park within two Nocks of the University » a bargain." he said. Mike Cowbig. of the Department said that the parking of the neighborhood meetings. "The parking is so critical that the people would talk about nothing but parking at the Meetings." Until recently a parking ordinan-ce would have been illegal, accor-ding to Cowhig. A Supreme Court ruling has changed that, and several communities across the nation have since experimented with the regulation. Residents also discussed the possibility of forming a community iwggniflton to consider an historic designation for the College Hill area, and 10 negotiate with UNC-G. "It would be beneficial 10 the University and to the residents if they could sit down and dtscust mutual problems." said Chambttss One resident, opposed 10 the historic designation, said.
