Attitude Clearly Spelled Out

The new policy toward campus disruptions adopted by the executive committee of the University of North Carolina Trustees spells out much more clearly than ever before for students, faculty, administrators and for the public the Universitys attitude toward disruptive activities.

It is an important, timely, and in our judgment, a most constructive document that should serve the

KALEIGH - State Kovernment reorganization is taking on the aspect of an iceberg Mr the study com-. mil tee .gamed by (iovemor Itob Scott to chart out the course

The submerged dimensions of the task are t>emg explored , by four subcomrriittees as the 50-member group works to prepare its report to the (iovernor and the 1971 General Assembly They are discovering lieneath the visible surface accord for the reorganization principle a body of disagreement on how to shuffle North Carolina's 3(K)-plus agencies, boards and commissions into 25 or fewer administrative departments They are finding, too, that implementation is a far more extensive undertaking than meets the eye Discontent, at some levels of state officialdom with th.e preliminary grouping of . agencies under reorganization wilj come to light August 21 'at-hearings before sufKommittee .No 1. concerned with the structuring of agencies Mercer Doty, who heads the staff for the committee study, said a dozen or so agencies are expevted to appear They will present their case for leaving their position in state government undisturbed, or for an assignment different from the one given them as the result of the one-year study which preceded the appointment of the (xovernor's Committee Some of their arguments are very sound," said Doty. Their point of view should be heard --

The agenda for the hearings was made up on the basis of responses to a questionnaire sent to all state

v agencies, asking their appraisal of their place in the reorganization sheme John Morrisey, general counsel of the N C Association of County Commissioners, is chairman of subcommittee No 1

Meanwhile, subcommittee No 4 which deals with implementation has been advised that making reorganization a reality will take longer than had been at first supposed Jim Bullock, assistant attorney general, told a recent meeting of the subcommittee that up to two years of legal research and drafting will be required before a full plan of reorganizatioa can be adequately presented to the legislature.

'73 Will Be Crucial This means that the crucial session would come in4973, rather than 1971 in looking towards implementation by 1975

- ijt will be up to the subcommittee, and the full study committee, to decide the timetable on which to move:

whether to proceed with a selected area of reorganization in 1971, or to wait until the full plan is drafted and submit the package in 1973 David J Whichard of Greenville, editor of The Daily Reflector, is chairman of subcorhmittee No. 4 The other sub<ommittees are: .No 2, dealing with duties and responsibilities for the heads of reorganized state departments, chair-manwl by .State Rep Dwight Quinn of Kannapolis, ,\'o 3, concerned with staff support for the (iovernor's office under reorganization, chairmaned by Ralph Biggerstaff of Mebane State Senator John T Henley of Mope .Mills, chairman of the (iovernors

Committee on State Ciovernment Reorganization, has expressed confidence that a plan can be developed which will win legislative approval No firm target date has been set. but it is expected that the subcommittees will oimplete their work by early fall Then the full committee will draw together and prepare its report for submission to the governor by December 1 An earlier hurdle is the November general election, when voters will be asked to approve the enabling constitutional amendment As unanimously adopted by both houses of the 1969 General Assembly, it would provide for a reduction in the number of state administrative departments to 25 with authorization for the governor to reorganize the departments subject to legislative approval

('ampalgn For Approval Cuming * Doty said plans for a campaign in support of the amendment are not yet fixed However, the committee is aware that a positive presentation of the case must be made to assure its passage So far there has been no overt opposition to reorganization it ranks with motherhood as a subject for universal approval. At the same time, there are negative currents that may influence the outcome: among state employees who fear reorganizition as a hazard to their jobs, among the cynical who see it as simply adding another layer of bureaucratic cost to government; among minor state officials or agencies w-ho would rather not be reorganized out of existence

best interest of every segment of the University community'and the state as a whole.

The policy makes it amply clear that authority for dealing with campus disi^uptions is now placed in the hands of the chancellor on each campus. It spells out in sufficient djtail what is expected of students, faculty and administrators. (

Perhaps most important of all, it makes it amply . clear that disruptive practice's will not be tolerated on-the campuses of the University, and that direct action will be taken against those who participate in such activities.

The new policy statement does not muzzle minority views nor does it move toward silencing voices of dissent. At the same time it clearly says that disruption and violence will not be tolerated and that the University function of education will not be brought to a standstill by those who engage in such activities.

The policy is fair and forthright as well as firm. It preserves the rights of those who would protest that which they dislike in this society. It also protects the rights of others on the University campus as well.

The policy statement deserves the support of every segment of the University community and the support of the rest of the people of the state as well.

United Fund Agencies Deserve Full Support

The United Fund board of directors has adopted a $126,387 budget for the year and it strikes us that the budget is reasonable.

Soon the drive for funds will be getting underway and the cpunty should do what was done for the first time last year that is meet the quota which will support this adopted budget.

Hopefully this years drive can be completed quickly. All of the participating agencies in United Fund deserve the communitys full support.

Science Hunts More Protein

By (i. DAVID WALLACE .Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -.Scientists are rummaging through trash cans, sifting the seas and harvesting fungi and germs in the quest for cheap, plentiful sources of protein, the bodys most important tissue builder Their search, reported at the Third International Congress on F'ocxi Science and Technology now underway here, is fueled by the realization that in the standing-room-only world of the futureand in ^rgady crowded countries -space is at a premium for the animals which provide men with protein.

ITotein deficiency is a vital factor in the 10,000 deaths the United Nations estimates occur daily from hunger or malnutrition.

In the United States, according to an Agriculture Department survey, most people get more than enough protein North Americans on the average eat 66 grams of animal protein a person per day, supplemented by milk, eggs and cereals But the individual consumption of animal protein in the Near East averages 14 grams, in Africa 11 grams and in Asia 8 grams.

It is in the animal-poor countries where scientists are pressing hardest to extract the proteins directly from grasses, grains and other substances South Africans. Colombians and Guatemalans are already drinking beverages endowed with the exotic-sounding names of Pro-

The products being tapped for protein depend on whats available: corn tassels at Kansas State University, sugar cane waste in (Colombia, coconuts in The Philippines, weeds in Portugal, "junk fish in Seattle, fungi and bacteria in England, seaweed, algae and microbes in Japan,

C.R Gatellier of the FYench Petroleum Institute reported on plans in France, Japan and Russia to produce protein from a yeast culture grown in a petroleum medium. He estimated the protein will be ready for feeding to animals in the decade and to humans by the next.

Researchers cite this comparison; A 1,000-pound steer makes about a pound of useful protein in a day, while 1,000 pounds of yeast can make 4,000 pounds of protein in the same period.

There are problems. Swiss researchers reported their noodles made from algae had a sickly green color. Present alfalfa protein contains too much undigestible material. The Israelis said their soybean flour produced stomach gas. Researchers are being careful to scan their substances for any toxic or cancerous elements.

But the problems will be solved, say scientists.

A little tyke trudges along the street at his mothers side. He gives us an impish grin. Maybe he thinks he owns the earth and maybe he doesnt. If he gets plenty of food, plenty of play and not too repressive discipline he' will apparently pull through without too much injury.

But with all his apparent self - sufficiency he keeps hold of his mothers hand. Tliis is a true indication of ifhow^ he feels^.0iildhood a^ youth are not periods of confidence and self-sufficiency. They are periods of haunting anxiety. The average kid isnt exactly sure what is g()ing to happen, but he holds on to mothers hand just ia, case.

No matter what the voting age turns out to be we shall find that the longer we live the more we reach up for a sustaining hand. Over the centuries people have found that when the hand that leads them is divine and self -jy(||iciepF|^eyc their daiiy tasks, tribulations, anxieties and frustrations with a sense of security.

The impish grin g;ets us nowhere. A hand from-heaven reaching do\yn and gnasping our hand gives the confidence and self - sufficiency we need. Nothing else* can do this.

And this is a day when we have to be certain and trustful regarng truth especially religious truth.

Other Editors Say Toughen The Rules

(Oiristian Science Monitor)

At the outset, we should say that we dont think much of games of chance in principle we believe provenance comes from a source other than luck, or fortune, and it is a cruel deception to support practices which lead people to think otherwise.

Games of skill may be another matter.

But as the evidence comes in that promotional games of chance and skill are deceptive in practice as well as principle, we are deeply concerned. Especially when it appears that companies using questionable games techniques are regularly let off by the Federal Trade (Commission with a promise not to mislead the public game.

What troubles us are games like these:

A bingo game spsonsored by a soft - drink company last year, in which the entrants werent told that some questions required more than one answer,

A hamburger - chain sweepstakes advertised as worth $500,(X)0 but w'hich paid out only $13,000.

A gas station game, involving 20,000 retail outlets, in which winning and non -winning drawing entries

werent randomly mixed.

This is deception. And it must be ended.

It could be ended in several ways. First, the FTC could require the host company to make a settlement with those who entered a contest, on the basis of which answers might have met a reasonable interpretation of the rules. The FTC is threatening this in the case of the soft-drink company.

Second, the FTC could encourage the writing of a set of really effective rules for such games by Congress. The danger here is that the companies might merely work out craftier games to subvert the new rules.

And third, most drastic of all, outlaw such games entirely. There are strong arguments for this latter measure. According to testimony in Ckingress last year, only 10 percent of prizes advertised are ever awarded. The cost of games pushes up prices an averag 7 percent, for which the consumer gets nothing at all of value.

On what grounds can the misleading giveaway gimmick be justified? That to abolish it would be to discriminate against industrys right to gain competitive advantage? But advantage against whom? Others in the industry or against the consumer?

I met one of these chaps at the bar in the Hotel Tahara which is set in a mountain overlooking the Lagoon of Papeete. I immediately knew he was a CIA man because at exactly 9 oclock he faced the sea and started striking his Zippo lighter on and off, despite the fact he had no cigarette in his mouth.

When the bartender confirmed he did this evry night, I decided the man was either a CIA agent or had just given up smoking.

He was surprised I had been seen through his cover so easily. Most people think I work for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, he said.

NEW YORK (AP) - Jumping to conclusions;

While age fears youth today, youth fears age somewhat too. Young people are particularly distrustful of older people who can compete with them in any field and who refuse to act their age. They prefer old people who submit tamely to life and have one foot in the grave. Such oldsters are no threat to them.

Now Everybody Wonts A Gift

By ELMER ROESSNER

Banks have mucked things up for many businesses.

The recent spasm of so-called gifts for new accounts in many cities m the country irritated many retailers. They figured that banks were giving away the same items they were trying to sell.

There is still some doubt how much good the giveaways did for banks as a whole. Some banks claimed substantial increases in deposits. Others admitted that some people simply drew money out of one bank and' deposited it in another. There were, some cases in which depositors withdrew money from one hraffch nd then deposited it in another branch of the same bank, picking up a gift in the process.

^ Now the give-away gimmick is spreading tp other fields, A New York clothing chain offers free radios, waLches and other free

gifts with purchases of $100 or more. (It features mens suits at $99.) Other clothiers are meeting the competition. Credit Card Demands

Ford recaitly gave $24 children's wagons for a penny to purchasers of station wagons. Amana Refrigeration is offering a golf club with the purchase of its r^efrigerators. A Columbus furniture store offered a used car or a pony with every purchase of $129 or more but gave it up. Used cars cost too much and while kids loved them, parents didnt want a pony around the house.

TTie entrance of banks into the credit-card field, with inulti - million" - dollar [X'omotions focused public attention on the costs of store and restaurant participation.

Now consumers are well aware of the fact that those establishments that aocept credit cards pay from 5 to 8 per cent for the collation of.

the deferred charges, and that card carriers pay at the rate of about 18 per cent a year on their charges after 30 days.

This is causing many customers to ask for

discounts for cash. Some vendors will grant a

discount; others wont.

ELMER

ROESSNER

However, when a customer says, All right, I have a S^-hd^ch credit card,* vendors will usually grant a discount.

And some cash buyers pass by stores and restaurants that display signs saying credit cards are honored, believing that prices have been pushed up 5 to 8 per cent

to recover the costs of credit care services.
