Independence
By PAT QUINN
After 6 p.m. on Monday
night, September 23, over 2,000
students were lined up for
dinner. Before then 500 student*
had gone through the line*. The
adminiatratora of the Cafeteria
are even more concerned about
the dining room line* than the
atudenta. Mr. TalantU, the
Director of the Pood Service,
ha* stated that "We are
conscious of the problem and
the Pood Administration i»
working on it." A meeting was
held recently to determine the
solutions which are available,
and TalantU believe* that the
problem will be over within a
Since the beginning of the
semester the lines in the
cafeteria have seemed unusually
long. However, Talantis states
the same number of
students are using the dining
halls as last year. He believes
that most students are
comparing the present situation
to laat May when everyone was
used to a certain schedule, the
employees were experienced,
and students knew how to
itagger the line*.
Talantis does not put the
blame on students but rather on
a combination of factors. At
present the new employees are
adjusting to serving, new
students are adjusting to the
dining hours, and some people
hold up the line trying to make
decisions between the entrees at
that meal. Por every two
minutes a person needs to decide
what he want* he hold* up 16
people.
Concerning this, Mr. Talantis
says that the cafeteria is
planning to post menus meals to help student* select
before they reach the aarvice
area. This year the cafeteria is
al*o planning to prevent
monstrous lunch lines by
offering soup and sandwiches
besides the regular hot plate
lunches.
The North Dining area will be
opened if the line problem
persists. However there are not
enough employees to operate
that dining room at the present
time. By neat week the
administrators of the cafeteria
feel certain that everything will
settle down and the dining
schedule will run smoothly.
They are concerned about the
problem aa much as the students
and will continue to work on the
problem until there is general
satisfaction for all concerned.
A sort of "Declaration of
Independence" was passed by
the council members of the
Student Committee Organised
for Reaearch and Evaluation
Tuesday night.
Council members sre Bill
Burckley, chairman; Charlotte
Younger, vice-chairman; Nancy
Brandon, secretary; Hermina
Cox, treasurer; and Jerry
Warren, director of reaearch and
evaluation.

Legislature Holds First Session
By JUDY LEONARD
Three amendments to the
Constitution were presented to
Student Legislature at the first
meeting of the school year
Wednesday night. Two of the
amendments were passed and
referendum to be scheduled by
elections board.
Another proposal by Miss
Knight was tabled until the next
session of legislature. The bill
concerned the changing of the
present policy of amending the
constitution. As the constitution
now read*, 60 per cent of the
student body must vote in a
referendum for the election to
be valid. Miss Knight*
amendment would have allowed
two-thirds of the number of
students voting to constitute a
valid election.
"We, the members of the
Student Committee Organised
for Reaearch and Evaluation,
wish to clarify our structural
position in relation to the
Student Government
Association. We are not,
recognized by Legislature aa a
student organization, we have
been qualified and are receiving
fund* through Finance Board
from the Student Government
Association. We are now,
however, members of the
Executive, Legislative or Judicial
branches of the Student
Government Association, and
therefore remain an
independent, non-political
organisation.
It ha* been and will continue
to be the policy of 8.C.O.R.E. to
cooperate with the Student
Government Association or any
other organisation in matters
concerning educational reform.
We, in turn, ask chat the Student
Government Association
cooperate with us in our mutual
endeavor to improve the
educational environment on this
campus. To date, however, the
Student Government
Association hat refused
cooperation with us, as
evidenced by our exclusion from
the meeting of ton students, ten
faculty members and
administrators held on
September 18th to discuss
improvement of the academic
society at UNC-G. As 8.C.O.R.E.

the third waa postponed.
Chairman Pam Greer presided.
A By-Laws change was
presented allowing Town
Student* to waive the
requirement of a handbook
examination. Following a two
week waiting period the
amendment came up for
radification by the student body
in a general referendum.
Under new business, Karen
Perryman presented a change in
the white card system which was
sent to committee for further
study. Miss Perryman'* social
regulation change will come
before the body at the next
legislative session.
Mary Knight called for
suspension of the house rules in
order for the body to consider a
constitutional change concerning
the election of legislative
representatives. Under her
proposal, the elections presently
scheduled for December and
May would be held in September
and February, respectively. Thus

Students Hurl Complaints
About Attendance Rules
By MARY KNIGHT
Dean of Faculty Mereb
Mossman stated that she would
clarify the attendance regulation
to the faculty members at the
faculty meeting scheduled for
October 8 in light of complaints
hurled by students since classes
began.
Students expressing then-grievance*
in small group* or
walking from clasee* or voicing
them to member* of THE
CAROLINIAN staff feel that
their right to decide when they
wish to attend classes has been
infringed upon. Many of the
professors have stated that they
may cut class only if they are on
the infirmary list. Other* have
cute limited to two or three.
Class attendance policy as
stated in the 1968-69 Handbook
states, "The responsibility for
das* attendance i* specifically
placed upon the individual
student. Each student must
appredate the necessity and
privilege of regular clan
attendance, accept thi* personal
responsibility, and accept the
consequences of the failure to
attend. Students must recognize
the vital aapects of class
attendance and the fact that the
value of this academic
experience cannot be fully
measured by testing procedures
alone.
"If a atudent's repeated
absences threaten his progress in
the course or impede the
progress of the dass, he may be
asked to withdraw from the
course with a grade of W/P."
A* the policy i* stated,
students maintain, they have the
responsibility of deciding when
and how many times they may
cut class. It has been, however,
an accepted fact on campus that
insofar as class attendance
regulations are concerned that
there is no university policy, but
that professors may exercise the
prerogative to set a reasonable
number of cuts. Yet, the
students are questioning the
professor's interpretation of
reasonable. They have said that
cuts for only the infirmary are
