UNC-G Legislature Dean Smyth Issues Statement
Votes To Join GIC; On Reported Student Attacks
OK's Declaration
After considerable debate,
Student Legislature voted
Wednesday night 67 to 10 to
become a member of the
Greensboro Inter-Collegiate
Council.
Objection was centered
around ratification of the
Constitution as it is now written
with the view that the purpose
of the Council as stated was
vague and did not convey a
purpose.
With only four abstentions.
Legislature voted on the second
reading to accept the
Constitution as it reads, thereby
joining the University to the
Council in all of its aims,
purposes, and activities.
The Greensboro
Inter-Collegiate Council is being
organized to facilitate
communication between the
members of the Council and the
Greensboro community. Its aim
is to present the colleges and
universities of Greensboro as one
voice. Members of the Council
will be Greensboro College,
Bennett College, Guilford
College, AAT State University,
and UNC-G.
As the GIC goes into effect,
there will be fifteen
representatives, three from each
campus. The Council will be
headed by a President, with esch
member school determining the
means by which representatives
will be selected.
Approve
Additions
The Trustees of the
Consolidated University have
voted to admit Wilmington
College and Asheville -Biltmore
College to this state's
consolidated university system.
The move occured st a trustee
meeting Monday and climaxed a
two year effort by the two
schools.
The board's recommendation
must be approved by the State
Board of Higher Education and
the North Carolina General
Assembly. It is expected that
Watts Hill, Sr. of Durham will
fight to Mock the proposal in
the legislature. Hill's
counterproposal, making the
two schools "colleges of the
University of North Carolina"
was killed by the board.
Governor Dan Moore indicated
that he believed Hill's proposal
would have a good chance of
passing the General Assembly.
Hill pointed out that last
week's report by the State Board
of Higher Education did not
mention bringing the two
colleges into the consolidated
university. "Maybe we are
jumping the gun by taking them
into the university."
If the schools are allowed to
join the consolidated system
they will lose their own trustees
and will be governed by the 100
member consolidated University
Board of Trustees.
NSA Southern Regional
Coordinator Terry Ashe
presented before the body of
representatives a Joint
Statement on Rights and
Freedom of Students. It was
accepted as a basic policy
declaration of the rights of
UNC-G students snd will be
included in the handbook next
year.
A general referendum will be
held on January 9. Students will
vote on UNC-G's membership in
the GIC and a proposed bid
defining the duties of a
legislature representative. D EAN THOMAS SMYTH
Dean of 8tudents Thomas J.
Smyth released the following
statement concerning reported
attacks on campus:
Since the beginning of the
Fall Semester, twelve reports
have been received by the
campus police concerning
incidents involving women
students and unknown males.
Three cases appear to involve the
same male who is now under
arrest. Pour other cases
concerning "indecent exposure"
appear to be solved with another
arrest. One other suspect has
been apprehended by the
campus police. He had been
reported as a "suspicious
person" and is not a atudent
here. He was apparently
reported by two students. Two

by the English composer Gustav
Hoist and the American
composers Ulysses Kay, David
Kraehenbuehl, and Norman
Dsllo Joio.
The featured single work on
the Christmas Concert will be
the "Msgnificat" by the English
composer Ralph Vaughan
Williams. This work is not a
setting of the Latin text familiar
in settings of J. 8. Bach and
others, but is a setting of the
English translation from the
Book of Common Prayer, cast in
the form of s disloguc between
the chorus snd the Virgin Mary.
The Choir will present the work
in its original form with
orchestra on the Greensboro
Symphony Orchcstrs concert on

with piano and flute
accompaniment on the
Christmas Concert.

to the memory of Professor
George M. Thompson, who
founded the Woman's College
Choir and was for thiry years the
conductor of a highly successful
series of Christmas Concerts in

VNC-G Buys
Ambulance
Katherine Taylor, Dean of
Student Services, has announced
the University's purchase of a
station wagon equipped aa an
ambulance for use by the
Infirmary. The equipment for
the ambulance must be installed
at thtt factory. This will involve
somewhat of a delay in the
delivery of the unit. The vehicle
may not be delivered and put
into use by the University for
several months.
other cases are still under
investigation and suspects are
now being questioned. Another
case, involving s student and an
alleged military man suspected
of rape, is now in the capable
hands of law enforcement
military officers of the City snd
the military police.
We call attention, again, to
the suggestion made in the
November 15th Carolinian to
the importance of reporting
immediately any incidents to the
Dormitory Counselor, the House
President, snd the campus
police. Any delay in doing so
hampers the Campus Police
Department in meeting its
responsibilities.
Furthermore, we urge
students to refrain from
repeating rumors which have no
basis in fact. The morale of any
community deteriorates when
members of the community are
irresponsible in this regard.
Committee
To Go To
Students
In order to receive student
and faculty opinion on topics of
mutual concern, the
student-faculty reviewing
committee is conducting s
project of dorm visitation for
the purpose of dialogue.
The first session will be held
in the International House on
Tuesday, December 10 at 4:00.
Discussions are open to the
entire campus. Invitations have
been sent to each department,
requesting thai they send a
reprekentative.
"Areas such as required
courses, student psrticipation on
faculty committees, independent
study, and roles of the advisors
will hopefully be explored,"
Miry Knight, Temporsry
Chairman of the Student
Faculty Reviewing Committee,
pointed out. "However, we are
willing to discuss sny topic of
concern thst the students desire
to explore."
Miss Knight explained that
meetings of this type will be
held every two weeks in various
dorms snd the town student
lounge during the entire second
semester.
She emphasized that dialogue
in not the end of the project, but
that ideas discussed in these
groups will be compiled in a
report which will be sent to
various faculty and student
committees, as well as members
of the administration
"It is hoped that these
agencies will examine the ideas
and act on them in accordance
with the student snd faculty
opinions expressed at these
sessions, with this in mind," she
continued, "it is the committee's
strongest hope that students and
faculty will attend these
sessions, even if they can stay
only for a short length of time,
and express their concerns."
