^Happy Valentine's Day From The Staff? The Carolinian Valentine Love Letters Page 5 'Serving the academic community since 1893." February 14.197S Volume LVII Number 29 The Unlversity of North Carolina ut Greensboro Cal Our Hotlhse: 379-5©41 Funds For New Ad Building Approved BY RICH INNES Funds for the completion of the ground floor of the Mossman Administration building (commonly referred to as the new ad building) were approved last Friday by the UNC Board of Govenors. The ground floor, which presently is nothing but exposed insulation and concrete, is expected to be ready for use by next December. Plans for the first floor, which will cost an estimated $400,000 to complete, include the relocation there of the Registrars Office, the Office of Academic Advising, the Cashiers Office and the Admissions Office. Also the Office for the Vice- Chanccllor of Student Affairs now located in Elliott University Center will move into the new offices. The reshuffling will move the Placement Office, presently located in the basement of the Alumni House, to a vacated office in the Fousi (Old) Administration Building. The UNC-G News Bureau will then be moved into the Alumni House, under the co-ordination of the Vice-Chancellor for development. Conversion Of Female Dorm Discussed Bv Senate BY BETH HAYES Staff Writer Office of Residence Life hearings were presented to Senate on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, February 9 and 10, in EUC. To be discussed was the increasing male population on campus and the need to convert one dormitory on campus into a male dormitory in order to accomodate this increase. Three proposals were presented: l:Conversion of a high-rise dormitory into a co-ed dorm with males and females on alternating floors. 2: Conversion of one of the freshman girls' dorms on the quad into a male dorm. 3: Conversion of one half of a double dorm (Weil/Winfield, Strong/Moore, or Mendenhall/Ragsdale) into a male dorm. "It really doesn't matter to me," said Dean Shirley Flynn, who presided over the hearings. Dean Pkoto By Arthur Domsky Well/ Winfleld girit discuss their opposition to co-ed life. Weil-Down On Proposal by MALINDA WALKER Staff Writer A proposal that might turn Weil dormitory into a male dorm and force them into seeking accommodations elsewhere has prompted the residents of Weil dormitory to draw up a petition protesting the proposal. The petition is directed at the Office of Residence Life, which is investigating the matter of finding accomodations for the overflow of men on campus, and Dean Shirley Flynn. The petition contains a list of objections to the transformation of Weil/Winfield into *a co-ed dorm, with Weil being the side which would have to make the transition from female to male. It recommends that "Weil Hall is not the logical solution to the problem of increasing residence space for male students." Led by Margaret Oakely, Cindy Nesbit. and the Weil staff, approximately 125 residents of the dorm, as well as some residents, have signed the petition, which was first drawn up last Tuesday. Says Ms. Nesbit, "It was a joint effort. We obtained information included in the petition from residents and from reading the student handbook. It's not just a matter of "we want our rooms," but that we just did not feel that transforming this dorm into a co-ed residence was feasible." According to Ms. Nesbit, Dean Flynn has called a number of meetings with residents of Weil and other dorms involved in the matter to discuss possibilities of alternative dorms to use in the accomadations of the males. A decision should be reached by the various committees which must review the situation before spring break, and Ms. Nesbit has stated that if any more mass meetings are to be held, they will be attended by the Weil faction. Purported objections contained in the petition include: I: That recreation facilities in lobbies between Weil and Winfield would be made inacessible to residents of both dorms if connecting doors had to be closed. 2: That visitation policies between the two dorms would have to be readjusted. 3: That the projected male enrollment would rapidly grow beyond the dorm's capacity. 4: That male and female lifestyles are too dissimilar to make their living in adjoining dormitories feasible. The proposal to convert Weil into a male dorm is one of several proposals that the Office of Residence Life is investigating in order to accomodate the growing population of males on campus. Flynn stated that the student's decision would play a major role in what was decided by the Office of Residence Life. The prospect of converting a highrisc was quickly done away with, as only one male in the attending crowd professed a willingness to live in one if possible. "I don't want to live in a crackerbox," stated one male. "Women have to put up with it, (small rooms) too." was the reply. David Rettic, dorm resident, thought that "The Board of Trustees would hit the roof." at the idea of a co-ed dorm such as the one proposed. Men at the gathering were also against converting a female dorm on the quad into a male dorm. They stated that they wanted to be spread out over more of the campus. Weil/Winfield residents did not agree, saying that they thought that "those who would have to leave one of the dorms in order to make room for males would probably strenuously object. One group of Weil residents even went so far in their objections as to draw up a petition against the proposal. Objections were also raised to this proposal on the grounds that all the males would be grouped into one administrative area. The idea of using a cross-sectional building was the most favored on both sides. When a general consensus was taken, only 2 people voted for a high-rise, approximately 20 voted for conversion of a freshman dorm, while fifty people voted for a cross-sectional building being used. Males, as well as females, are generally opposed to moving into Weil/Winfield. It was agreed that it would be much easier to put locks on the "crash doors" between the dorms in Moore/Strong than in Weil/Winfield. It was also felt that the females would take better care of the latter dormitory than would the males. There were a few people at the meeting who felt that Weil/Winfield would be the preferable dormitory, however, and among those were Area Administrator Alan Unger, who felt Moore/Strong was too large to be filled by the existing male population. Of the three choices of cross-sectional dorms, only four people in the consensus voted for Weil/Winfield, none voted for Ragsdale/Mendenhall, and almost everyone else seemed to prefer Moore/Strong. Dean Flynn said that girls who were "kicked out" of their rooms in order to make room for male inhabitants would be able to have first choice among any available rooms on campus. "The decision will not be made tonight," said Flynn "the Area Administrators and the Chancellor will have to make the final decision." Police Chief Ingold Faces Surgery BY RICHARD HODGES Staff Writer . Chief of Campus Police James W. Ingold was admitted to Moses Cone Memorial Hospital for treatment of kidney failure on Monday. January 30. This marks the second time thai Ingold has been admitted to Cone in the past three weeks. He was originally admitted due to heart failure. Chief Ingold, who is 60. was on the Greensboro Police Force before becoming Chief of Campus Police, a position he has held for ten years His present condition will cause Ingoid's hospttaluaiion to be quite extended. After a week's stay he had been seni home to recover, where he had been for a week when his kidneys failed. Thus he will have to remain in the hospital for two weeks before undergoing surgery to correct his kidney condition. Then, after another two-week recovery period, he must return to the hospital lo undergo open-heart surgery. Well-wishers may reach Chief Ingold at room 4526 Moses Cone Hospital. On The Inside Arts Page 6 Editorial Page 2 Etceteras Page 5 Letters To The Editor Page 2 Sports Review Page 7 Valentines Page 5 Chancellor James Ferguson said that the up-coming changes will serve to "unify a lot of activities that have been somewhat fragmented by virtue of being scattered." The Chancellor blamed inflation and a delay in acquiring the land as the main reasons for coming up short on funds for the completion of the building. "Only by implication could we expect that money would be forthcoming," he said. Referring to the funds for the first floor, which were approved almost 2'/2 years after the completion of the second and third floors, Chancelllor Ferguson said, "We are elated about getting the $400,000." SmfJum» ByLam fnuamrt The unfinished ground floor of the New Administration Building. Student Nurse Week Declared / Jabe Kamieuski Student Nurses Assoc. President BY CAREN TATUM Staff Writer Governor Jim Hunt has declared the week of February 19-25 as Student Nurse Week. Student nurses throughout the state are being encouraged to participate in community affairs related to health care, continue to upgrade the public image of nursing, and to educate themselves to the important, current health issues. The climax of the week will be the North Carolina Student Nurses' Association Convention, which is scheduled for February 22-25 at the Raleigh Hilton.

Exhibitors from various hospitals, medical supply companies, and agencies from all SMSmmuFac*) Nappy Wins Approval BY J.E. KRAEMER Staff Writer Until Tuesday Napolean Aroo Culler, a UNC-G campus resident and owner of a validated ID had been in danger of being evicted from his place of residence at Hinshaw Hall. Napolean (Nappy to his friends) doesn't live in the dorm; he lives behind it in a shag-carpeted dog house, for Nappy is, in fact, a dog, half German Sheperd and half sheep dog. Nappy has been living in back of Hinshaw since the beginning of last semester when his owner, Chip Culler, a resident of Hinshaw, began his third semester at UNC-G. He will continue to reside in the area at least until the end of this semester. Shirley Flynn, Dean of Students for Residence Life, decision to per-mit the dog to remain on campus was a result of Chip Culler's efforts along with a twelve page petition containing approximately 370 signatures and Nappy's own mark of approval, all urging the con-tinuance of Nappy's stay at UNC-G. Chip Culler seems to feel that there is no reason why Nappy should not remain an inhabitant and stay on the UNC-G campus. "I looked up the school regulations on keeping pets in the Sharing, Caring, Living Guide, a book of regulations applying to dorm students," Chip remarked. "It said pets could not be kept in the dormitories, but it said nothing about pets remaining outside of the dorms or in the classroom buildings for that matter." "I haven't received any direct complaints about him," he con-tinued, "and Dean Flynn indicated that there would be no pressure con-cerning the situation this semester." Chip did not start collecting signatures for the petition until Sunday after he had been informed the previous Thursday that he would be put out of his dorm if the dog was not gone by the following Sunday. All day Saturday was spent looking for a good home for Nappy, and when Chip was unsuccessful in his attempt, the idea of the petition arose. He and Jeff Erwin, his roommate, began distributing the petitions at 12:00pm Sunday, and both declared that they did not receive any refusals from students when asked to sign the petition. Chip spoke to Dean Flynn the following Tuesday, concerning Nappy's remaining outside of Hin-shaw Hall for the rest of the spring semester. To support his stand. Chip showed the Dean (he petitions, messages hereceivedconcerning their progress. Nappy's validated ID for the spring semester, and over $200.00 which Chip and Gwyn Gatlin, another UNC-G student and original owner of the dog, paid for the benefit of Nappy's health. Dean Flynn was amazed at the number of signatures and Chip explained lhai Nappy was "aimiable" and "had a lot of friends." Dean Flynn's main argument against Nappy's continuance as a UNC-G campus resident concerned the possibility of all of the students deciding to keep dogs on campus. "Then next year something should be in the student handbook about it," was Chip's reply. Chip Culler plans to attend UNC-G next year and he declares that if Nappy's residence at UNC-G is threatened, he will bring the issue lo Resident's Court. As for Nappy's feelings towards residence life. Chip feels thai "living on a college campus has made (he dog's personality very hap-py- go-lucky."
