SGAAnnounces TownStudent Elections
By PHILLIP CATES
Newt Editor
Vice-President John Cecil of the
Student Government Association
announced today that Township
(Commutor) Student Senator
Elections will be held in two weeks,
with filing for office to take place
next week. The Elections Board,
which Cecil now chairs, because of
the resignation of Diane Huniki last
week, will meet today to determine
the exact date of the elections. With
over twenty positions now available
for off-campus students in the
Senate and only two town student
senators left from last year, the
town student at present has very
little representation.
The two Township Senators
currently holding seats will also be
up for reelection. Kevin Yow,
currently serving as President Pro
Tempore, would be forced to resign
that post if he were not reelected to
his seat. Mark Newton, who was
appointed a Township Senator by
SG President Payne last week, will
also be up for election.
Nomination forms will be
available at the end of next week at
the main desk of the E.U.C. The
Elections Committee of the Student
Senate will take these nominations,
put them on a ballot, and conduct
the election. There is the possibility
that elections may not be held. If
twenty-one town students do not
file, If that many do not file, then
NCSL Meets with Students
By LISA BROWN
Staff Writer
UNC-G's delegation of The North
Carolina Student Legislature held
its first meeting last Thursday night.
The purpose of the meeting was to
familiarize interested students with
the organization and to outline the
goals for the upcoming year.
NCSL, a mock legislature,
represents over 100,000 students
from universities, colleges, technical
institues and community colleges
the state. Its aims arc to
acquaint students with the workings
of the North Carolina General
Assembly, to research and prepare
legislation, and to provide a forum
for student opinion in the "real"
legislative process.
Ann Miller, chairperson of this
year's delegation at UNC-G
describes NCSL as "a vehicle which
enables students to advocate their
concerns. It's a place to put your
feelings into action."
In past years NCSL has dealt with
and establishing a utilities
commissioner for North Carolina.
Steve Warren, from Western
Carolina University, governor of
NCSL was also present at the
meeting and spoke of some of his
goals for NCSL this year and the
issues he plans to address.
"One area of concern will be the
study of a mass transit system. With
the change in our energy situation
we must plan to diminish the
detrimental effects of this change in
our lifestyles."
Due to the increasing
industrialization occuring in the
cities of North Carolina, Warren
feels, there is a need for more
balanced growth in our cities
through planning and zoning. He
also hopes NCSL will study the
present tax system.
Warren said, "We want to
cultivate a new image for NCSL—a
group of college.students seriously
concerned about current issues. We
aren't just playing around."
In addition to the weekly
meetings held here on campus the
delegation will also attend monthly
Interim Council meetings at various
schools across the state and carry on
business before the Annual Session.
Workshops in Parliamentary
procedure, public speaking, and bill
research and drafting are held to
prepare students for the five day
session in Raleigh. The various
study committees also met at the
Interim Councils.
NCSL is a non-partisan
organization, open to all students,
regardless of class or major.
Meetings are held every Sunday
night in Joyner Lounge of EUC at
6:00 pm. A reception will also be
held Wednesday, September 19th at
7:30 in Joyner Lounge and all
students interested in joining NCSL
issues such as nuclear power, ERA, are urged to attend. he Senate
eports
The University of North Carolina
at Greensboro Student Senate meets
every Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m.
in the Alexander room of EUC. The
Student Senate is the legislative
branch of the Student Government
Association and it is chaired by the
Vice-President of the Student Body.
John Cecil.
Listed below are the current
appointments to committees.
Appointments will not be complete
until after Township Senator
Elections next week. Vice-President
Cecil said. "I would like to remind
you that you do not have to be a
member of the Senate to be one on
one of its committees. There are still
31 openings in Senate Committees."
If you are interested in serving on
a Committee come by Room 261-A

those that do will automatically
become senators and the President
of the Student Government, David
Payne, will appoint students to the
remainder of the seats. Over the
past two years, a full slate has not
been achieved for Town Student
Senate elections.
"Town Student Senators,"
according to Cecil, "represent the
town students in the Senate. A
Senator is required to serve on a
committee and has the opiton to serve
'office hours; which requires a
Senator to be in the lounge 10:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday and
Wednesday."
Cecil continued, saying that,
"The time required would be about
one hour a week on 'office hours' or
on a committee plus about two to
three hours on Tuesday nights for
Senate." Will issues be confronted
this year that will effect town
students? Cecil said, "Many
decisions that Senate makes this
year will have a lasting effect on this
school. Actions by the Senate last
year paved the way for expenditure
of activity fees for beer. This year
the Senate is planning more activites
with the student in mind."
Some students on campus have
criticized Cecil's delay in holding
township elections so late in the
year. It was felt that elections for
President Pro Tempore of the
Student Senate should have been
delayed until after those elections to
give all the senators, especially town
student senators, a chance to select a
person for the position. Cecil has
also been criticized for supporting
the appointment of Mark Newton as
a Township Senator just two weeks
before the upcoming election, to
fulfill an unwritten qualification
that a Senate Parliamentarian, which
Newton is, should be a Senator.
With over six thousand
commutor students paying fees that
Student Government spends, and
only two representatives currently,
the actions possible by the Senate
are limited until the elections in two
weeks.
New Building Nears Completion
By DAVID OSBORNE
Staff Writer
Beside the Mossman Administra-tion
Building, a new building is near
completion that has no name,
currently referred to as the Business
and Economics Building. It is
scheduled for completion by
October 1. 1979. At that time, there
will take place a swift process of
inspection and moving. The
building will probably be open for
classes second semester. The
structure will house the
Mathematics, Economics, and
Business Departments. The shifting
of these departments will leave
vacated space in almost all of the
second floor of the west wing of
Curry, all of Foust except the
Administrative Computer Center,
some space in Petty Science, and the
fourth floor of Graham. This
vacated space will be occupied later
on following several departmental
shuffles.
At this time, the building has no
official name and it will have to go
through a lengthy process before
one is decided upon. Names will be
submitted to an ad-hoc committee
that will be appointed by the
Chancellor, and then
recommendations will be forwarded
to the Board of Trustees.
The actual plans for the building
were begun in 1975. The
architectural firm handling this
project was Wood and Cort of
Asheville, North Carolina. The
building is equipped with 144
faculty offices on the third and
fourth floors. There are IS
classrooms, 12 seminar rooms, 9
case (tiered) rooms seating from 60
to 100 students, and a number of
labs. These labs include a behavior
laboratory which is something new
in the business area, an accounting
lab, also new, and a center for
applied research that has room for
expansion. Finally, there is a 300
seat auditorium that will be fully
equipped.
The design of the new building
follows all guidelines for energy
efficiency. Although only 12 percent
of the total wall space can be glass,
the design has incorporated
windows in such a way that artificial
light will be used at a minimum.
This new structure will be one of
the largest academic buildings on
campus, costing slightly in excess of
five million dollars. With this
addition to classroom and office
facilitation, the educational
environment can only be improved.

Insurance Foundation
Seeks Grant
GREENSBORO-The North
Carolina Insurance Education
Foundation is seeking insurance
research proposals to qualify for the
Frank J. Schwentker Research grant
Of •1,000 for 1980.
The foundation, located at the
University of North Carolina at
Greensboro, is looking for research
proposals directly related to the
North Carolina insurance business
or to the purchase and management
of insurance by Tarheel consumers.
"Research proposals should
reveal an original approach to
industry or consumer problems with
practical suggestions for action,"
Court Rules in Sex-for-Grades Case
NEW HAVEN, CT (CPS>—After
a seven-month wait for a verdict in
favor of the university in the
controversial Yale sex-for-grades
case, lawyers for former student
Pamela Price have filed an appeal.
On July 2, Judge Ellen Bree
Burns ruled that Yale Professor
Raymond Duvall (now at the
University of Minnesota) did not
propose to give Pamela Price, one
of his students, an "A" in return
for her sexual favors, and a "C" if
she refused. Price, who is now a law
student at the University of
California-Berkeley, got a "C"
Price and five other Yale
undergraduates had filed suit in
1977. charging that Yale had failed
to provide adequate grievance
procedures for sexual harrassment
cases, and had therefore violated
Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972. Title IX
prohibits schools receiving federal
aid from discriminating on the basis
of sex. If the court had found Yak
had in fact violated Title IX
strictures, the university could have
lost all iu federal funding.
In pre-trial hearings, Yale
attorneys successfully had the cases
of Price's co-plaintiffs dismissed.
However, oae ruling set an
important legal precedent. It
established that an individual
student could file a suit under Title
IX against a private university.
Another 1979 case. Cannon v.
University of Chicago, firmly
established the precedent, according
to Anne Simon, Price's attorney.
Price's case finally came to trial in
January. 1979. Averdict was
initially expected in March, but
Burns did not announce her findings
until July.
la an eight-page decision. Burns
ceded that Yale's grievance
procedure* had been "ad hoc" aad
• inadequate." but thai Price had
suffered no direct damage as the
result.
Linda Hoaglund, one of Simon's
associates, called the decision
"thorough-going gutlessness."
"We're appealing on a
technicality," explained Phyllis
Crocker. Simon's legal assistant.
"According to procedure,
judgements should have filed
against the other five complainants
at the time of their dismissal. They
were not." The appeal is thus on
behalf of all six original
complainants.
"What we are trying to prove is
that this is about harrassment,"
Crocker added, "not about
Pamela's grade."
Since the case began. Yale has
drawn up more formal grievance
procedures for sexual harrassment
complaints. Hoaglund. who served
on the committee drafting the
procedure, said the new process "is
better than what used to be there,
but it still leaves all the power in the
dean's hands."
explained Dr. Joseph E. Johnson,
president of the N. C. Insurance
Education Foundation.
Dr. Johnson, head of the
Department of Business
Administration at UNC-G, said
examples of research topics which
might be of interest include market
availability, consumer information
such as simplified policy language
or price information, financial
planning or use of mass
merchandising techniques.
"Preference will be given to
North Carolina residents, students
and faculty at in-state institutions of
higher learning," Johnson pointed
out. "However, anyone with an
interest in doing research in
insurance is eligible."
A specific statement of the
proposed research project should be
sent to the North Carolina
Insurance Education Foundation
Inc., School of Business and
Economics, 233C Curry Building,
University of North Carolina at
Greensboro, according to Johnson.
Application proposals should be
submitted no later than Jan. 31,
1980.
The N. C. Insurance Education
Foundation was incorporated in
1971 by a group of insurance
industry leaders and educators to
promote insurance education and
research in North Carolina.
