Candidates for VTH' editor
present differing positions
By JACI HUGHES
Staff Writer
Jim Holleman and Lou Bilionis, the two
candidates running for Daily Tar Heel editor in
the election Wednesday, have expressed differing
views concerning operation of the paper.
Holleman, a junior majoring in radio, television
and motion pictures, has characterized the race as
"an insider vs. an outsider."
"I would like you to all know that what you
heard is an incumbent to the DTH," Holleman
said Thursday at the Henderson Residence
College meet-the-candidates night.
Bilionis, a junior English and economics major,
worked as associate editor for the paper from
March through December 1977. He also has
written news, features and columns for the DTH.
Holleman has called for a new approach to
editorial writing, including creating an editorial
board to set the paper's policies. The board would

Trustees support governors' stand
By MEREDITH CREWS
Staff Writer
The University Board of Trustees reaffirmed its
support of the desegregation stance of UNC's 16
campus system Friday despite opposition from the
board's only black member and from Student
Body President Bill Moss.
The board passed a resolution stating that
although the University advocates educational
opportunities for minorities, the UNC system
Board of Governors should not retreat from its
opposition of federal desegregation plans.
Walter Tucker of Charlotte, the only black
board member, told the trustees he would support
the resolution if it contained a section encouraging
the UNC system to continue working with the
U.S. Department of Health, Education and
Welfare.
"We should be positive, not jump on the
defensive," Tucker said. "We do have five racially
identifiable colleges within the system, and we
should encourage the Board of Governors to look
for ways of dealing with this."
But instead, the trustees approved an
amendment tu the resolution that added a section
to instruct the Board of Governors not to retreat
from ils present stance.
Board chairperson Tom Lambeth of
Washington, DC, told Tucker the real isMie was
how to achieve the long-range desegregation goal.

The 6-foot-7 sophomore impressed his New
York-area friends with a 14-point performance in
Carolina's 74-57 win Saturday afternoon 'over
Rutgers in Madison Square Garden. After a 61-59
loss here Sunday to Providence, O'Koren needed
help to walk.
While fighting Providence's big men for a
-.-rebound late in the game, O'Koren came down on
the side of his foot, badly spraining or fracturing
his left ankle.
"I don't know what happened," he said after the
game. "I just came down and heard something
pop."
His ankle was placed in a temporary cast by a
Providence doctor following the game for a trip
back to Chapel Hill Sunday night. A thorough
examination was to be conducted when the team
arrived, but doctors think the injury is a bad sprain
or fracture, requiring a recovery period of two to
six weeks depending on its seriousness.
Carolina, now 20-5, was already without one
starter for the weekend trip. Center Rich Yonakor
reinjured his knee, during practice Friday before
the team departed. He probably will not play
against Kent State Wednesday and is questionable
for the Virginia game Saturday.
Carolina's two weekend games contrasted with
each other in more than outcome. The Rutgers
game was played before the largest crowd ever to
see a regular season college basketball game in
Madison Square Garden ( 19,694); the Providence
game was played before 5, 102 fans, most of whom
walked through drifts of snow to see the game.
be composed of the DTH editor and
representatives of various campus organizations
such as the Association for Women Students and
the Black Student Movement.
"The DTH has to act as a medium for all of
these voices," he said. "What you need is one
solidly founded, comprehensive, well-thought-out
policy instead of something splotchy and hazy.
"To vacillate your opinion within one editorial
or a series doesn't necessarily represent any more '
people or help clarify the issue."
Bilionis defended the present system. "Two
associate editors and the editor sit down every day
to discuss the issues and possible stands on the
issues," he said. "The DTH should be a student
voice. I would like to take the point of view of
students especially when it comes to safeguarding
their rightful roles at the University."
Asked about finances and distribution.
See DTH on page 4.
"No one argues with the long-range goal but
h'ow to achieve it," Lambeth said. "The problem is
that curriculum decisions are being made at a level
where we feel they should not be made."
Student Body President Bill Moss said he agrees
that HEW's desegregation plan is absurd, but he
sided with Tucker.
"The resolution sounds as if we agree with the
way things are now and not the long-range goal,"
Moss said.
Moss' proposal to add a section to the
resolution, stating that the University recognizes
the problems of racial duality in the 16-campus
system, was defeated 6-2.
Trustee Nat Townsend of Raleigh also sided
wilh Moss.
"I can't vote for anything that tells the Board of
Governors to stand by their position and throw in
the gauntlet," Townsend said. "We should
encourage them (the Board of Governors) to
compromise."
Board member John Wilkinson of Washington,
N.C.. disagreed.
"We are faced with a grab for power not based
on the Constitution," Wilkinson said. "It is
political, and no tin-horn bureaucrat is going to
take the people in this state and tell them what to
do with their educational system."
In other action, the board passed 5-3 a
resolution stating that telephone tales should not

The Providence game went down to the last
second but the Tar Heels won the Rutgers game
going away. The talented Rutgers squad was
unable to contain the Tar Heels, who played one
of their best first halves this season.
Missed free throws by the road-weary Tar Heels
prevented a sweep of three away games in five
days. Carolina went to the four corners against the
Friars with 6:45 left in the game and ahead 54-50.
Providence used an effective defense that
prevented Phil Ford from handling the ball.
The ball-handling chores in the stall game then
fell on Tom Zaliagiris and Dave Colescott.
Zaliagiris, Colescott and reserve center Geff
Crompton all missed one-and-one free throw
opportunities with less than three minutes to play.
After Zaliagiris' miss, Crompton fouled Friar
Rich Hunger, who hit the first of a one-and-one
opportunity to tie the score at 59. Carolina
continued its stall game, but Crompton and
Colescott missed their free throws.
Providence's Bill Eason hit an open jump shot
with 2 1, seconds left for the final score. Carolina

Seven in
By HOWARD TROXLER
Staff Writer
With only two days left before the student body
elections Feb. 15, seven candidates are still
battling for the office of student body president.
The names of Bruce Border, Craig Brown,
Gordon Cureton, Jeff Ellington, Sonya Lewis,
Robert Lyman and Jim Phillips will appear on the
ballot Wednesday.
U nless one of the candidates receives more than
50 percent of the votes cast, the top two vote
getters will face each other in a runoff election
Feb. 22.
Three candidates who had announced their
candidacy have dropped out of the campaign. Ken
Edahl, the U ncandidate and Dan Coleman did not
fulfill the requirements set by the Elections Board
for candidates or decided to withdraw from the
campaign.
Bruce Border
"Performance, not politics in your Student
Government," says a Border leaflet. Border is a
junior economics and philosophy major from
Waynesville.
He is secretary of the Media Board and a
member of the Student Graphics Board of
Directors, the Dialectic and Philanthropic
Literary and Debate Societies and Alpha Chi
Omega service fraternity. Border is lieutenant
governor of the North Carolina Student
Legislature.
be included in computing normal living expenses
for student financial assistance.
Board member Walter Davis of Midland,
Texas, said he became upset when he read in the
Daily Tar Heel that telephone rates were
considered when determining normal costs for
students receiving financial assistance.
"The article upset me," Davis said. "I believe in
helping the poor to get educated, but this is going
too far."
UNC Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor, however,
told Davis he believes telephone service is an
essential part of college costs.
"1 myself would not rest easy if 1 knew my
children did not have easy access to me or me to
them," Taylor said. "I recognize it is a matter of
one's own judgment, but we live in an age where
they (telephones) are necessary.
William M. Geer, director of student financial
assistance, also disagreed with the board's
resolution, saying a telephone should continue to
be included in fund computations.
"What we are trying to do in student aid is
provide normal costs of attending UNC for those
who are born into poor families," Geer said. "A
telephone is an essential part of college costs.
"We are not in the business of punishing people
who are poor. We try to set a normal budget, and
telephone service is normal, as there are
telephones in every dormitory room."
Board votes to undertake
search for legal advisers
By AMY McRARY
Staff Writer
The UNC Board of Governors voted Friday to
appoint a search committee to find attorneys for a
possible court battle with the U.S. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare despite objections
from two black board members.
The board voted 26-1 for William Johnson of
Lillington, chairperson of the board, to appoint a
special board committee to find attorneys for the
U nive,rsity system. The lawyers will be used should
HEW begin legal proceedings to cut off federal
funds to the system's 16 campuses.
The action came within two weeks of HEW
Secretary Joseph Califano's rejection of the UNC
desegregation plan.
Board member Kathleen Crosby of Charlotte,
who cast the only negative vote, said the board had
"not explored all we can do to satisfy HEW before
we hire legal counsel."
Crosby said the board should implement new
programs still on the drawing board at the
system's five traditionally black universities. "We
should also place a token doctoral program in
these black institutions." she said.
Several board members disagreed with Crosby,
it into overtime, but Ford's shot with three
seconds left bounced off the front of the rim.
"I've always said that if we go to the four corners
and win, I've made the right decision, and if we
lose I've made the wrong decision," UNC coach
Dean Smith said.
Even though players wouldn't admit it, fatigue
played an important role in the loss. The team
arrived at its motel in Providence at about 2 a.m.
after flying in from New York.
"1 don't feel that fatigued," Ford said. "We just
weren't as sharp as we have been. Maybe we were
tired and didn't know it. We ran the Four Corners
well. We just didn't score in the Four Corners, and
they did. They gambled and fouled, and we missed
our free throws."
Carolina's game against Rutgers was an
exciting run-and-gun affair. Carolina's big men
dominated, with Crompton having the best game
of his career, scoring 10 points and grabbing seven
rebounds in 18 minutes of action.
"If it's possible to win a game in the first half, we
did." Smith said after the Rutgers game.
race for student body president
Border stresses three areas in his campaign:
openness and accountability in Student
Government, academic reform and budgetary
responsiveness.
Craig Brown
"It takes more than prorhises," says a poster
headline for Craig Brown. Brown says he has "the
kind of record the next student body president
needs."
Brown, a junior political science major from
Iowa City, Iowa, has served as chairperson of the
Elections Board, chairperson of the Student
Transportation Commission, and on the
Residence Hall Association Board of Governors.
Brown also served as executive assistant to the
RHA president and coordinated the RHA
Student Government testimony against the
proposed Southern Bell rate increase at the recent
Utilities Commission hearings in Raleigh.
Gordon Cureton
Gordon Cureton, a junior political science and
Afro-American Studies major from Charlotte,
says "in the past, Student Government has failed
to serve effectively and efficiently."
"It's not the critic who counts," says a Cureton
poster. "You need to know where you've been to
know where you're going."
Cureton has served on the Campus Governing
Council for three years and was CGC speaker for
one year.

Slipping
over cars
saying that both the University board and UNC
President William Friday had "done everything
possible" to create a plan acceptable to both UNC
and HEW.
"This state has been put on notice," William
Dees Jr. of Goldsboro said. "HEW already has the
legal staff. All we're saying is to be prepared toget
legal staff in advance."
Dees moved that counsel could be sought soon
at the board's planning committee meeting last
Saturday.
Crosby also said that hiring attorneys would
damage negotiations between Friday and David
Tatel, director of HEW's Office of Civil Rights.
Friday said he will set up a meeting with Tatel
early this week.
"This is putting ourself in a bad position is to
resolving our differences with HEW," Crosby
said. "HEW will see this as being stubborn."
The Rev. E. B. Turner, secretary of the board,
also said he believed the action could hurt
negotiations. Turner and Crosby are two of the
three black members on the board.
"This action bothers the atmosphere of the
negotiations." Turner said. "We need to be firm,
yet reasonable, in our concerns." Turner asked

Cureton stresses a humanitarian approach to
Student Government. "I would like to see Student
Government take the lead in improving human
relations on campus with the active recruitment of
women and minorities."

that the wording of the motion be changed so that
the University's lawyers would have power to
defend only legal interests of the University.
The motion, however, was not changed after .
considerable debate.
"I like Dr. Turner's idea, but it wouldn't work,"
Irwin Belk of Charlotte said. "There is no question
of the legality of this institution, but they (HEW)
are going to cut the money off."
"The announcement by HEW says legal
proceedings could start within 45 days," Johnson
said. "1 don't know if that means on the 44th day
or the 10th day." Johnson said that because of this
uncertainty, UNC should start to find legal
counsel now.
Johnson also said he was concerned with the
motion made Feb. 2 by NAACP's Legal Defense
Fund to cut alj federal aid to the traditionally
white institutions in the University system within
' 30 days. Johnson said he did not know if the judge
had yet ruled on the motion, but he added that
UNC could need lawyers in a possible court battle
with the LDF.
The LDF was the original plaintiff in the 1970
suit that resulted in HEW's ordering UNC to
revise its 1974 desegregation plan.
The UNC system also could be involved in a
court battle in North Carolina should it decide to
challenge any cutoff of funds by the federal
government.
Although the approved motion states the search
committee would "discuss the need to find outside
legal counsel. . .and take steps necessary" to hire
them, Johnson said in an interview later that the
"discuss the need" clause was really a formality.
"I believe that it is the board's basic feeling that
we do need to make the motions to hire legal
counsel," he said.
The lawyers hired by the University system must
be approved by state Attorney General Rufus
Edmisten and Gov. Jim Hunt.
Normally, the legal counsel for the University
system would come from the Attorney General's
office, but Johnson said at the planning committee
meeting last week that Edmisten had told him the
state did not have enough lawyers to handle the
UNC case, should it go to court against HEW.
In other action, the board:
Authorized four new academic programs:
three bachelors' of arts in speech communication,
special education and recreation administration at
UNC-Wilmington and a master's degree in art
education at Appalachian State University.
Approved the building of a new University
Press at UNC-Chapel Hill. The 18,500-square-foot
building will cost $600,000 and will be
financed by grants and trust funds.
Approved $89,000 for repairing bathrooms

older dormitories at UNC-Chapel Hill. The

primary platform plank of the Blue Sky Party is
the construction of a giant geodesic dome across

Lyman suggests the use of horses to alleviate the
traffic and parking problems on campus and feels
that "less, not more, communication between

"My slogan is "Action, Not Slogans," Lyman
