Wolf pack
By WILL WILSON
Staff Writer
RALEIGH N.C. State served notice
that Carolina would not have the ACC
baseball race all to itself by decisively
defeating the Tar Heels 1 1-4 here at Doak
Field Tuesday.
The Wolfpack rocked starter Blaine
Smith, now 5-2, for IS hits and 10 runs in just
over six innings. State now has 39 runs and
54 hits in its last three games, all against
ACC foes.
The loss, Carolina's first in the ACC this
spring, drops the Tar Heels, 5-1, back into a
tie in the loss column for first place with
Court action contemplated
against Orange Committee
By ROBERT THOMASON
Staff Writer
The Orange County B.oard of
Commissioners Monday instructed its
lawyer to investigate the possibility of court
action against 24 members of the Orange
Committee who have challenged the voting
rights of more than 6,300 persons in Chapel
Hill and Carrboro.
"The challengers appear to have compiled
their lists in a random, shotgun fashion
which has hassled legitimately registered
voters," commission chairperson Richard
Whitted said.
Estimates indicate about $7,600 has
flowed from the county coffers to the Orange
County Board of Elections to pay for
processing the voter challenges.
Four of the five commissioners said the
county should not pay for the challenging
process because the Orange Committee is
using the purging procedure to achieve its
own political ends.
i "1 support the challenge process, but not
the way the challenges have taken shape,"
Whitted said. "People need to be put on
notice. They cannot abuse the challenge
system and expect the public to finance it."
Commissioner Norm Walker cast the only
dissenting vote, saying his colleagues'
proposal would harass longtime county
residents without achieving any constructive
goal.
Park says he never asked
Galifianakis gave no special favors
By RACHEL BROWN
Staff Writer
Former U.S. Rep. Nick Galifianakis of
Durham Tuesday reaffirmed his earlier
statement that South Korean millionaire
Tongsun Park never asked the North
Carolina Democrat for special favors, nor
did Galifianakis ever do anything for Park.
In testimony before the House Ethics
Committee Monday, Park said Galifianakis
was one of 30 members of Congress to whom
he made payments ranging from $100 to
$62,000.
"It is my understanding that Mr. Park's
testimony will continue before the
committee," Galifianakis said in a prepared
statement Tuesday. "I will make no

hands Carolina first
Clemson, 7-1, and State, 4-1.
Carolina is 25-9 overall while State is 19-5.
The game was close until the fourth
inning, when State broke a 4-4 tie with five
runs on six singles, a walk and two UNC
errors.
After that, Wolfpack pitcher Rich
Spanton, who entered the game with a 0.79
earned run average, retired 12 ofthe next 13
batters. The Tar Heels loaded the bases in
the ninth but Spanton easily held on to
record his fifth win against no defeats.
Spanton had a rocky start as J. D.
Henderson doubled and Jim Atkinson hit
his sixth home run of the season in the first
"The board (of commissioners) has no
business getting involved here," Walker said.
"Citizens have legally challenged registered
voters and have offered to withdraw the
challenges filed by mistake."
Officials of the county elections board
have said the 6,300 challenges have been filed
properly, but there is still some doubt if state
law allows the Orange Committee to
withdraw challenges against voting rights of
more than 2,000 persons who are dead, have
moved out of their voting precincts or are
known to be longtime Orange County
residents. ' 1 ' " " '
County attorney Geof Gledhili said he has
not established a timetable for taking legal
action against the Orange Committee but he
expects to" make a report to the
commissioners within a few weeks.
"I'm reluctant to talk about the case since I
have not had a chance to talk to the
commissioners about it," said Gledhili,
whose Hillsborough law firm also represents
the elections board.
Gledhili said he will report to the
commissioners in closed session but any
action would be made at a public hearing.
Gledhili said the cost of filing suit against
the Orange Committee may be a deciding
influence on the commissioners' decision.
It is not known how much the suit would
cost because the commission has not said
how many Orange Committee members it
may file complaints against, Gledhili said.
complete and I have had an opportunity to
review it. I do not know what his testimony
will be."
Park said Monday he gave Galifianakis
approximately $10,500 in cash during
elections in 1970 and 1972. Galifianakis has
said he returned a $500 campaign
contribution from Park because of the
former legislator's policy of rejecting
donations from foreign nationals.
U.S. Attorney Mickey Michaux of the
U.S. Middle District Court in Greensboro
said he is not sure if any current or former
member of Congress can be prosecuted for
illegal dealings with Park.
There were no federal campaign
contribution limits when Park was active in
Washington, so a legislator cannot be

Support questioned
Group fights NCNB S. Africa loans
By CAROL HANNER
Staff Writer
The War Resisters' League of Chapel Hill
has launched a campaign to pressure North
Carolina National Bank to discontinue loans
to South African businesses.
The group is asking NCNB customers to
withdraw their accounts to protest the loans.
The league also plans a demonstration for
prosecuted merely lor accepting lunds,
Michaux said.
Evidence would have to indicate a vote on
the floor of Congress was influenced by the
contribution, according to Michaux.
"That's pretty hard to prove," the federal
prosecutor said. "Influence-buying is similar
to bribing a public official." Both crimes are
felonies.
If a gift was not recorded as a campaign
contribution it should have been logged as
personal income for the year it was received,
Michaux said. Although legal, such action
raises questions about influence-buying, he
said.
If contributions were not recorded at all,
the senator or representative could be
charged with income tax evasion, also a
felony offense, the prosecutor said.

Merchants group may lose collection license
By RAC HEL BROWN
Staff Writer
A hearing officer may decide today if the
credit bureau of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Merchants Association should have its
collection agency license revoked, officials
said.
Mary Britt, deputy commissioner of the
N.C. Department of Insurance, said the
merchants' group has been charged with 1 1
violations of state collection agency laws'.
Insurance department investigators said
the association failed to deposit $2,017.88
collected to cover bad checks written to local
businesses.
The money was discovered in the desk of a
former employee, Andrew l.andes, who
April 18 at the annual NCNB stockholders'
meeting at the Raleigh Civic Center.
"Our purpose is to express outrage at
NCNB's financing of apartheid in South
Africa." league spokesperson Linda Bunce
said.
South Africa has recently been torn by
racial tension between the ruling white
minority and blacks.
The War Resisters' League contends the
white political regime has ordered hundreds
of demonstrators killed and outlawed
several black organizations which advocate
majority rule.
John Jamison, vice president for
corporate communications at NCNB
headquarters in Charlotte, confirmed
Tuesday that the bank does make loans to
businesses in South Africa and will continue
to do so. He said the loans so far have not
been for extensive amounts.
Jamison would not discuss the amount or
the recipients of the NCNB loans in South
Africa. "Customers' accounts cannot be
discussed with third parties," he said.
According to 1976 and 1977 reports from
the U.S. Export-Import Bank, NCNB made
at least four loans totaling $164 million to
South African businesses.
The loans went for Cessna aircraft sold to
private South African citizens, industrial
cranes and mini-computers, according to a
War Resisters' League pamphlet.

South campus deck
Residents object
to parking plans
By MIKE COYNE
Staff Writer
Residents living near the Health Sciences
parking deck Monday night expressed
almost unanimous opposition to the
University's proposed addition to the deck at
a meeting of the town planning board.
The residents of the Mason Farm Road.
Otlcy's Road and Whitehead Circle area of
Chapel Hill also requested the board find a
solution to the area's current traffic
problems.
The University is seeking a special-use
permit for a proposed 842-space addition to
the existing Health Sciences parking deck on
Manning Drive.
The board called the special meeting in
response to a petition signed by 76 percent of
the area's residents.
The petition requested the closing to two
intersections - the points where N.C. 15
501 intersects Otey's Road and the Mason
Farm Road. This would halt use of these
roads as shortcuts between the hospital
complex and the bypass.
"We are concerned about the unsafe
traffic load at present, but we are especially
concerned about the increased traffic load in
the future." Dr. Carl W. Gottschalk of 1300
Mason Farm Road said. He repesented 28 of
the 46 area households.
"We are faced with a dangerous present
"and a terrifying future," Harvey L. Smith of
428 Whitehead Circle said. "We are trapped.
Jogging is a folly, and walking a dog can be
as dangerous to the dog as the pedestrian."
"What we have here is that a very pleasant
neighborhood has been turned into a
thoroughfare," Smith said.
Several residents said the real .problem
was the University's parking plans.
"Clearly, the solution is for the University
to decide that they don't have to provide a
parking space for every employee," Philip
Rees of 503 Otey's Road said.
"The real problem is the University is
encouraging a one car, one rider policy,"
Joseph Capowski of 8l901d Pittsboro Road
said. "This type of thinking is definitely old
fashioned in this day and age. Perhaps
criminal is too strong a word for this, but it is
definitely wrong."
headed up the bureau's check-recovery
operation.
Landes has said he was not aware state
regulations required money to be deposited
in a trust account daily.
Britt said collection agencies are
responsible for making sure all employees
are familiar with regulations.
Collection agencies should remit the
money they collect to their clients within 30
days after the end of each month, even if they
have not received all the money from the
debtor, Britt said.
But sometimes a debtor refuses to
complete his payment if a business has
accepted only a partial amount, according to
Joe Augustine, executive director of the
merchants association.
banks refuse to take the political or
economic risks involved in loaning money to'
foreign businesses, the Ex-Im Bank
guarantees payment if the foreign buyer
defaults.
Congress began hearings on the Ex-Im
Bank March 28, after the Congressional
Black Caucus and a number of liberals in
Congress called for an end to Ex-Im Bank's
investments in South Africa.
NCNB was the only North Carolina bank
listed in the Ex-Im Bank records.
"By loaning money to South Africa,
NCNB makes the white minority get
stronger and the blacks become more
oppressed," Bunce said. "The good things
that come from financial support don't
trickle down to the blacks.
"Also, we are making South Africa self
sufficient so that if and when there is an
international boycott of South Africa, they
can ignore it.
"We may end up with a situation like
Vietnam we will have so many
investments there that we will have to defend
them if there is a war," she said.
Jamison said NCNB frequently considers
the question of South African loans.
"We are aware of the moral question
involved," he said. "There are two points of
view. One says it's wrong to loan money in a
country with an immoral system of
govei nment.

In the Monday night meeting, Art Berger,
town development director, presented 10
options proposed by the planning staff to
deal with present and future traffic problems
on Otey's, Purefoy and Mason Farm roads.
The options presented by Berger included
placing a light at the intersection of South
Columbia Street and the off-ramp of the
east-bound bypass, closing either one or
both Otey's and Mason Farm intersections
with the bypass and blocking Mason Farm
Road north of its intersection with Otey's
Road.
According to Gottschalk, area residents
favor a combination of several of the
planning staffs options.
Gottschalk said the residents agreed at a
neighborhood meeting to favor widening
Manning Drive at its intersection with the
bypass to include a right turn lane'. Residents
also favored improvement of the intersection
of South Columbia and the east-bound
bypass off-ramp.
The meeting was the second in which the
planning board considered the University's
special-use permit request for the deck.
In its first meeting, the planning board
unanimously discouraged the special-use
permit.
During that first meeting, board members
questioned the use and site ofthe proposed
deck. Paul Arne, student representative to
the transportation board, argued the
proposed deck was being built for UNC
employees, which is against the town's
transportation goals.
Peg Parker, chairperson of the planning
board, disagreed with the proposed deck
because it would be placed across a major
thoroughfare from the hospital complex.
UNC Planning Director Gordon
Rutherford maintained that the proposed
deck will be used to take care ofthe expected
jump in hospital use, and that there was not
enough room on the north side of Manning
, . Drive to build a deck there.
The matter was to come before the
planning board again Tuesday night when a
vote was to be taken on whether to
reconsider the board's original findings
against the deck.
Occasionally someone will bargain for
partial payment. Then the agency has to
obtain an agreement in writing from the
company to accept such action, Augustine
said.
The association also is charged with not
keeping proper records of payments. Britt
said an insurance department audit will
begin as soon as the insurance department
receives subpoenaed association records.
A third charge stems from allegations that
the collection . bureau sent improper
collection letters to debtors. Britt says
merchants association officials sent debtors
personal letters to make demands for
payments instead of an insurance
department form letter.
BSM funds
are released
after dispute
By DIN1TA JAMES
Staff Writer
The Campus Governing Council voted
unanimously Monday night to free Black
Student Movement funds which had been
froen since Friday.
The act to free BSM funds was in
conjunction with an act to administer the
repayment of a $ 10.000 loan granted to
BSM by the CGC last fall.
Funds were froen after discovery of a
violation of the Student (overnment code.
The code requires that collateral equal to
the debt outstanding on any loan be held in
the unappropriated balance of the
organization to which the loan is granted.
The bill also urged BSM to pay as much
of the debt as possible by May 15, the
original repayment deadline, and set up an
extension of the pay period to March 20,
1979. Any amount outstanding after May
15 will accrue a 6 percent interest charge.
To ensure the loan will be paid off, the
CGC set a tentative schedule of payment
which calls for 20 percent ofthe loan to be
paid by Sept. 25; 25 percent by Oct. 25; 10
percent by Nov. 15; 15 percent by Jan. 25;
25 percent by Feb. 25 and the remaining 5
percent by March 20.
On or soon alter May 15, a promissory
note will be taken out to make the
repayment procedure a contractual
agreement between the two student
or sanitations.
In other business, the council approved
bv consent presidential appointee Jim
Sh.itfner as student body tuasurer.
