URI President Outlines Higher Education Priorities
University of Rhode Island President Dr. Fred Newman urged colleges to set clear priorities, trim unneeded programs, and decentralize department budgets while centralizing evaluation of academic needs at the Eastern Association of College and University Business Officers meeting. He warned against overcentralization and called for intelligent incentives for faculties and new management modes. He advised business officers to propose problems rather than dictating solutions and used an ostrich egg analogy to urge cross campus problem solving.

North Carolina Pushes Metric System in Schools by 1981
North Carolina will teach metric weights and measures in all public schools by 1981 as the state Board of Education backs a shift from miles and pounds. Bob Jones of the Department of Public Instruction leads the effort, aiming to train teachers, secure resources, and prompt Congress to enact a voluntary metric conversion. The move mirrors Common Market mandates and includes plans for adult training and county extension education.

Group accuses N C Utilities Commission of violating law
The North Carolina Public Interest Research Group PIRG objects to a November 14 memo allowing resumption of advertising by power companies without notice or hearings. PIRG argues hearings are required by statute before changing policy, citing the 1974 Duke Power order. The group asks the commission to clarify and bar institutional ads or premature hearings on Duke Power advertising.

Fairfax official backs adult classification for deadly juvenile crimes
Fairfax County Commonwealth's Atty. Robert F. Haran supports automatically treating anyone over 16 accused of murder or forcible rape as an adult. Delegate Wyatt B. Durrette backs it too, but a legislative subcommittee did not include the measure in juvenile code revisions. Citizens for Protection from Repeat Offenders push for the change and for pretrial hearings before a youth returns home.
