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.

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."

College Hill Residents Consider
Elimination Of Student Parking
BY RICH INNES
The parking problem in the
College Hill area, east of the UNC-G
campus, has caused residents
there to consider enactment of a
parking ordinance which would
permit only resident to park in the
area at certain times.
".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. "Parking
is trUI the root of the problem. Is an
Historic Dmsgnanna the way 10 for-ce
the Uswvarasty 10 get the cars off
ilstatraat?" taaVafcaaam*
