"We don't have the money everyone thinks we have. We've taken the attitude of slowing things down and appropriating money where it is needed most and can be distributed evenly explained Bodenhamer. "When the SGA Constitution was written continued Bodenhamer, "they expected a yearly increase in enrollment. So consequently, the constitution appropriates a' set $120,000 yearly to the Publications Board, $60,000 a year for transportation and $15,000 for the ECU Playhouse each year for the next five years "We wabt to have money appropriated to different programs on a percentage basis for the number of students they affect rather than appropriating a set amount each year. What we're going to try to do is push for this as an amendment to the constitution in the legislature next fall said Bodenhamer. Bodenhamer said he plans to recomment to the Board of Governors New SGA looks ahead to next year l concern for u?? ?niw nmv ??u t. ? m money SWS?SWK? a system requiring teachers to use the same text books in sophomore and freshman survey courses for at least two years. "This would save the student who has to buy these books large amounts of Bodenhamer noted. "The Student Supply S'ore could operate more efficiently if this were passed also. Books for these courses would be always on hand for they could be ordered far in advance of each quarter Bodenhamer went on. "Some teachers will criticize such a system as taking away their academic freedom, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Right now students will pay a large amount of money for a textbook and at the end of the quarter when he wants to sell the book, he'll find the Supply Store won't buy it back because the book for that course was changed. It has been figured that students will save up to $25,000 each year if such a system were passed said the SGA president. "I think the Veteran's Club-sponsored book co-op is great for saving students money when they must sell and buy books mentioned Bodenhamer, "but such a system can only work successfully for about one thousand students at the most " Bodenhamer said he would also like to see the SGA purchase its own buses next year; "one in the fall and one in the winter. That way the costs could be absorbed by the SGA budget "Another thing I'm looking into now is the possibility of establishing a Watts telephone line in the Student Union for the student's own personal use Bodenhamer said. A Watts telephone line is an arrangement where a certain amount of money is paid ?o the telephone company each month for unlimited use of a long distance line "With this arrangement cited Bodenhamer, "students could call anywhere long distance as much as they wanted. The phones would be located at the Student Union information desk for any student to use after presenting his student ID and activity card. "The cost of such a system would be paid by the SGA Bodenhamer explained. "It costs $600 a month for a line within North Carolina and only $H00 a month for a line that would be good for use anywhere in the U.S Bodenhamer was then asked whether the SGA planned to give any money to the Heal House next year. He said at the present time we ?o not plan to appropriate any money to the Crisis Intervention Center "If there were professional people working there it might be different added Bodenhamer "Right now, though, it's almost all untrained workers there. It would be like you or me working there. All the people there do now is refer their cases to other professionals who are trained in handling the types of problems they normally encounter Bodenhamer was then asked whether the SGA would be active in city affairs next year. He said yes, that in the next few weeks in fact, "I'll be appointing someone as a non-voting student represenative to the Greenville City Council. We will also have two voting student members to the City Human Relations Council Concerning the student loan fund, Bodenhamer projected that he wants to see the amount of money presently available to students increased. "At the present time there is only $3,832.34 available in the fund for hope to increase $5,000 sometime this next 1 if: students. I amount to year " Bodenhamer summed up by saying "this SGA administration wants open lines of communication with the students. If we plan to spend about $120,000 out of their SGA budget, the students should know about it " f-wxx-x n concession I Wayne Nobles and William Garri- I son,identified as Pitt County ? narcotics agents m Tuesday's I issue,win be present at the BilJ I J-y Preston concert Friday ONLY 1 I as stage guards(officially) I B? off-duty Policemen will be on hand only to guard e- I u quipment onstage, and have been ? i Present at other ooncerts m the x past.

Both are currently with the Greenville firm of Crisp and Hender- son. Crisp, a native of Greenville, dis- cussed changes in the legal status of cedure f?r suing an employer for dis- action and would not apply to private action according to distinctions made in and reference to the Fourteenth A- mendment. SUIT PROCEDURE Crisp went on to describe the pro- American women. She stated that 100 years ago, the Supreme Court decreed that for women, the position of wife and mother was the 'law of the Cre- ator . OFFERED HOPE In this century, however, there crimination, such as hiring, firing, classification or promotion. The plain- tiff must first establish that there has been discrimination on the part of the (CPS)?Although the situation varies widely from campus to campus, students are generally fleeing residence halls in unprecedented large numbers. Since dormitories are built with long-term loans repayable from rent receipts, each empty room further strains financial conditions at a time when many schools are already hurting for money. A study by Educational Facilities Laboratories, an agency of the Ford Foundation, has found that until five years ago, students "grumbled about the ? ui.imuiaLj.ui mi iiie pare or tne ?, ????????? siuiiiuicuauuuune employer on the basis of sex rather than restric,ions of dormitory-living and the 1 -r rf ?, 1 i f-i -i ?.?ri-i institutional fnrA knl tr J;J?i: lack of qualifications or inefficiency mi uus century, ' Within 180 days of the act considered have been changes.

Civil Rights Amendment of 1964, for example, forbade discrimination on the basis of age, sex, color or na- tional origin. According to Crisp, this legislation 'offered hope' that the legal status of women would im- prove. Nevertheless, protective laws con- tinue to be a hindrance from her point of view . These state statutes define and limit the conditions un- der which a woman may work, e.gthe amount of lifting, the total number of hours, and the number of conse- cutive hours work she may perform. fohere these laws are in direct conflict with the Constitution, the Constitution is supreme. One part of the Constitution, the Equal Pro- tection Clause of the Fourteenth A- , mendment, does not specifically apply to women, however. EQUALITY OF RIGHTS This loophole, according to Crisp, gives the Equal Rights Amendment its importance. The Amendment reads in ? partEquality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged ?on account of sex Effects of the ten complaint with the Equal Employ ment Opportunities Commission, who will try to arrange reconciliation with the employer. If this agency finds that the woman has just cause for suit and cannot find reconciliation, the case goes to court. WOMEN AND INSURANCE Deborah Henderson discussed discri- mination against women in insurance. 'Instances can be cited in health, life,pension and automobile insurance, she said. Women often pay 50 to U0 per cent higher rates for health insurance than do men for the same coverage. The rea- son given is that women get sick and use their premiums more often than do men. Henderson questioned this logic. First, she stated that she has never seen actual research on the subject. Second,the benefits earned from health insurance are substantially less than the wages the woman would eam if she were not ill. Henderson also reoorrmencted that women be wary of group insu- rance. She stated that these are usually designed for the employ- institutional food, but few did anything more drastic than complain and deface the walls. No more Now, the study goes on, "the college handscape is littered" with dormitories that are partly or even entirely empty. Dormitories which are 20 percent empty are now commonplace The Association of College and University Housing Officers are surveying 500 schools in order to get a clearer idea of what the student housing Glee Clubs present concert this spring picture is.
