IBhi if Mm ii r r 4 PLAYBOY And now ladies, for the first prize of $25,000, take off your clothes By LESLIE SCISM Features Editor RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK Bill Arsenault compares women to sculpture and books. "There are good pieces of sculpture and bad pieces," says Arsenault, a 37-year-old Playboy magazine photographer who has seen hundreds of nude women during his 14-year career. "In a way I am appraising, but it comes down to this: Some gals are classics, and some aren't. Just like books." Arsenault, who maintains that he isn't a playboy himself, has been at the Governor's Inn since last week screening bikini-clad bodies for Playboy's Miss January 1979. Playboy is sponsoring a 20-city body hunt in honor of the magazine's 25th anniversary and will pay the young woman $25,000 rather than the normal $10,000 centerfold fee. Arsenault was scheduled to fly to Chicago, Playboy's headquarters, Saturday, but response has been so good in the Triangle area that "we decided to stay three extra days. We've seen more than 200 girls here so far." He interviews applicants from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. each day, usually taking about 20 minutes with each. Of the applicants he's seen so far in the area, he said about 20 are potential winners. "I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Not just physical beauty, although you need a pretty face and figure. There's more, like intelligence. But let's face it, Playboy Lower percentage involved in frats; rush top priority By ED WILLIAMS Staff Writer The percentage of UNC men joining fraternities is decreasing although the Greek system nationwide is alive and thriving, Tom Terrell, Interfraternity Council president, said recently. And falling fraternity enrollment is but one problem IFC must contend with in the coming year, Terrell said. IFC is the representative body for the 29 UNC fraternities and is designed to lobby for Greek needs and to solve problems of individual fraternities. "Some fraternities at UNC do have a membership problem," Terrell said. "Right now, the percentage of male undergraduates in a fraternity is at about 19 percent. It used to be 24 percent." According to Terrell, the number of men entering UNC is on the rise, but the number of men pledging fraternities is staying stable. "About the same number of men are in fraternities each year; it is the percentage that is decreasing," he said. Some fraternities are having difficulty remaining solvent due to membership problems, Terrell said. "I think some fraternities are extending bids to people they usually would not," he added. Terrell said it is a question between fraternities lowering standards and having problems surviving. With membership problems at some houses, Terrell said IFC's top priority next year is rush. The council intends to spend $1,800 on rush promotional material to be sent to junior transfer students and incoming freshmen. It also has begun plans for open house visitation during August. Terrell said the biesest problem the Carolina takes Clemson-State By WILL WILSON Staff Writer Roy Clark's hit-and-run double in the 12th inning scored Dave Barnett from first base to give Carolina a 10-9 ACC win over first-place Clemson Monday in Boshamer Stadium keeping the Tar Heels regular season title hopes alive. The win gives Carolina a sweep of the two-game-season series against the Tigers, and leaves Clemson, 9-2, a half-game in front of the Tar Heels, 9-3, in the league standings. Clemson now must play a make-up game at N.C. State at 1 p m today A Tiger win would give them first place outright and enable them to host the double elimination portionof the ACC Tournament Friday through Sunday. They would also receive a first-round bye. But should they lose, they would be tied with Carolina, and the Tar Heels would get the host spot and bye because of their two wins over Clemson. State has more at stake than just the role of spoiler however. The Wolfpack and Maryland are tied for fourth, and State needs to win to host its first-round contest against the Terps Wednesday. Other first-round games pit Virg.nia at Wake Forest and Duke at Clemson or Carolina. Clark's double ended the four-hour, 20-minute affair that saw Carolina rally from a 9-5 deficit with three runs m the eighth and one in the ninth. The Tar Heels nearly won the game on two earlier occasions. After thev tiod'it in the ninth, they Mill had runners magazine is a business, and the centerfold sells. Especially in the 25th anniversary issue, the playmate is going to be scrutinized very closely." What type of females have been auditioning for the part? "We run the gamut. One or two of them are not real pretty, sort of homely, at least by Playboy's standards, although I don't like to use the word. All are beautiful in their own way, even if it's just to their boyfriend. "We're trying to find the diamonds in the rough. There are some girls who know how to put themselves together. And some are 18 and 19 and have never been interested in fashion magazines, but have a natural beauty." Many of the women are interested in the $25,000 prize. "There was one artist who wanted the $25,000 for a studio. One 19-year-old wanted the money for a divorce." Some of the young women "are eager to take their clothes off," he said, and every once in a while a woman will offer herself to Arsenault hoping the tactic will win her a centerfold spot. Others are less presumptuous, like the hopeful from Columbia, S.C., he interviewed two weeks ago who was so nervous that she broke but in hives. "Most come in here curious and then some come in with fear, a fear of the unknown," he said. Part of Arsenault's job is to ease that fear. He does this by chit-chatting with the applicant before asking her to change piiii """"i" If 11 1 V V Lit .'I i 1 - t z ) IFC's Tom Terrell fraternity system at UNC is facing now is a lack of unity. "Over the past few years, the IFC has been weak; it hasn't done a good job at holding the fraternities together," he said. "I don't think that all the fraternities think of themselves as part of a system. There is a lack of camaraderie and community spirit.

After re-appearing from an adjoining bathroom clad in a two-piece suit, the applicant is photographed in several different poses; one is a reclining position on a sofa with a wistful look, one is by a window and one is leaning against a chair. "Basically, I take a few polaroids. Then if the girl has potential, I schedule her for an appointment later in the week for more exhaustive shooting. "This involves more exposure. After all, that's what we're looking for." Arsenault said he has been disappointed by the figures of many applicants. "It's a shame that so many beautiful gals from college have figures that aren't what they should be. It's shameful. "They say, 'Oh, I'm so tar.' I don't want to come right out and confirm that they're fat. I encourage them to stick to their diets. I can appreciate what they go through, though, having grown up in husky pants with love handles on each side." Prosecutors: anti-porn law not valid By PAM KELLEY Staff Writer State and federal prosecutors Monday said they agree with a recent federal court decision striking down as unconstitutional North ' Carolina's four-month-old anti pornography adult bookstore law prohibiting more than one sex-oriented business under a single roof. "This law restricts individuals in trade," said U.S. Attorney Mickey Michaux, chief prosecutor for the U.S. Middle District Court in Greensboro. "If the trade, pornography, is legal, then it is unlawful to limit it. If it is illegal, then it should be prohibited completely." Southern Orange County has three adult bookstores. The Enquirer Adult Bookstore at 403 W. Franklin St. and University Massage at 405 W. Franklin St. are located in the same building although they have Dorm rent due June 15, By ELIZABETH MESSICK Staff Writer Many UNC students have received notices in the past few weeks that dorm room rents for next fall are due immediately, but housing officials said Monday that the rent deadline is not until June 15. Room assignment cards stating that room rent is due immediately were sent to some students accidentally, said Peggy Gibbs, assistant director of University housing for contracts. Gibbs said signs have been posted in all dorms informing students that rent is not due until June 15. But regardless of when room rent is due, on second and third with one out, but J. D. Henderson popped up to shallow right field and Greg Robinson was picked off third by Tiger pitcher Paul Schmitt. In the 1 0th, Lloyd Brewer singled and went to second on an error. After a popped-up bunt attempt and a fly out, Jim Atkinson singled to right. Brewer tried to score, but was thrown out by Tiger rightfielder Tony Masone. After that, Tiger coach Bill Wilhelm brought in Billy Trapp to pitch, and he breezed through the 1 Ith and got two outs in the 12th before Barnett singled. Before Clark, UNC's leading hitter, stepped into the box, he walked toward the third-base coaching position to have a conversation with his coach, Mike Roberts. "He told me that we might hit and run," said Clark, a righthanded hitter. "I like to do that, because I like to hit behind the runner." Roberts gave Clark credit for the decision to go on the first pitch. "We have some fine hitters, but Roy is the best contact hitter day in and day out," he said. "1 told him we might hit and run, and he said, 'I'd like to try it now.' " Barnett took off with the pitch and Clark lined the ball through the gap in right center, easily scoring Barnett. "It was a curve ball outside and I just went with it," Clark said, acknowledging it was the perfect pitch for the hit and run. Clemson threatened to score in each extra inning. Two runners readied in the 10th. but one was caught stealing. Federal investigation probes possible violations of voting act in Orange By DAVID STACKS State and National Editor and STEVE HI ETTEL Staff Writer Federal investigators are proving voter registration irregularities in Orange County in search of possible violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Justice Department officials confirmed Monday. U.S. Attorney Mickey Michaux said he has asked officials of the Justice Department's civil rights division to investigate the more than 6,300 challenges against blacks, students and other registered voters in Chapel Hill and Carrboro and a related case .pending before the N.C. Court of Appeals. "We think there may have been some violations because of all the people who have been challenged," said Michaux, who is federal prosecutor for the U.S. Middle District Court in Greensboro. . The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is aimed at protecting ballot box privileges of recognizable minorities, including blacks and students, against harrassment, intimidation and coercement based on prejudice against the minority group. A source close to the probe said Michaux became interested in the case after members of the conservative Orange Committee challenged several dozen blacks in the different addresses and telephone numbers and are managed by different owners. The Enquirer is owned by the same management that has an adult bookstore, a minitheater and a massage business next to Christopher's Disco on the U.S. 15-501 Bypass. - - District Attorney Wade Barber had said earlier that his office was investigating some adult bookstores in Orange County. But Barber Monday indicated that ail such investigations have ceased. "The office of the district attorney and law enforcement agencies in Orange and Chatham counties will not initiate action in violation of federal court decisions on the law," Barber said. Judges in the state's eastern and western federal judicial districts have stricken the law. Michaux said he will probably not actively prosecute possible violations of the law even if judges in the middle district do the amount of rent probably will be 10 percent higher next fall than this year. The housing budget request is now pending in the Office for Budget and Finance. The budget was submitted to John Temple, vice chancellor for business and finance, several weeks ago. Temple must approve the budget before it becomes effective. "I believe the recommendation from Mr. (Chuck) Antle (assistant vice chancellor for business and finance) is that we do authorize the approximate 10 percent increase, which would be consistent with what the housing department requested," Temple said. "He recommended that I accept their request, but UNC's Phil Griffith is tagged K 'UMIMMMIIIUIiUllPUiiillilUJWHWIlllMMMWm'JI'Jl HMHIII UpCIM, Mmt-S m WUami1'IIIHWWWHliIWlftWPW"" ' MIJltllWW,M'imMIIIMMMIMlllll!lMIIW BMmk . b;vv::,,fcv lti) r-":-vr: sS s t , '"W". . ,8 "N-V . ..... Two reached again in the 11th, but a nifty double play started by second baseman Atkinson, playing out of his normal third-base spot, ended the inning. A one-out single and walk in the 12th caused Roberts to remove Monte DeRatt and bring on lefthander Mike Brewer. He got lefthanded Neil Simons to pop up. Righthander Clay Johnson came on next, and struck out University l ake precinct south of Carrboro late last month. The University Lake challenges were made several weeks after the other 6,200 challenges. Both Michaux and Justice Department spokesperson John Wilson said the investigation would probe possible wrongdoing by Committee members and the Orange County Board of Flections. "The whole point of the law is to insure that everyone has equal access to the voting process," Wilson said. "Everybody should have an equal right to his vote." Joe Nassif, elections board chairperson, Monday reaffirmed his earlier stand that elections officials have registered only residents who meet the legal definition of "domicile" under state elections statutes. A domicile is the place a person, or in this case a voter, plans to return to after an extended absence. "1 have no earthly idea about any investigation," Nassif said. "All I've done is follow (elections board) procedures. It there's anything illegal, it might be in the way the challenges have been done." Orange Committee member Stewart Barbour countered Nassifs claim, saying the challenges have been filed correctly and it's the elections board that is at fault. "They (Justice Department investigators) have a better chance at finding fraud in the 0 t V 1 Wade Barber not follow suit and also declare the law unconstitutional. increase request pending 1 can't say for certain that I will." Rent for the 1978 summer sessions probably will be increased if the new budget is approved, said Alan Ward, assistant to the director of University housing for business affairs. But Ward said the summer increase would not necessarily be 10 percent. "Part of what we're trying to do is get a reasonable rate for the summer without tying it to the fall and spring rent," Ward said, "I don't know any details (of the new budget). Temple may OK one set of rates and disapprove another, but 1 expect summer rent will be increased. "We should be hearing something in a few days, and I'm certain we'll have this whole out in second inning by Clemson Masone. h !e siiv mistake registration process than in any of the challenges." Superior Court Judge James H. Pou Bailey last month agreed with an Orange Committee suit against f20 county elections officials charging that as many as 10,000 University students are illegally registered to vote in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Bailey ordered the Orange County Board of Elections to purge from the voter rolls the names of UNC students who list with the University permanent addresses outside of Orange County. But the N.C. Court of Appeals delayed implementation of Bailey's order until the appellate bench can hear the case later this year. No date has been set for the hearing. The Orange Committee is a group of conservative Orange County Democrats who organized in 1976 as a political lobbying group to raise funds for two conservative Democratic candidates for the Orange County Board of Commissioners. Orange Committee candidates Charles Johnston, a Chapel Hill realtor, and Bill Ray, a Cedar Grove farmer, both lost in the Democratic primary to Duke University accountant Richard Whitted of Hillsborough and UNC faculty member Donald Willhoit of Chapel Hill. Barbour and other conservatives said Johnston and Ray were defeated because student voters had tipped the balance in favor of Whitted and Willhoit. Federal district judges can only strike down laws or previous judgments in their own districts. A U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling is necessary for the opinion to have statewide or nationwide impact. "The firm conclusion persists that this -statute is a thinly veiled attempt to harm businesses by cutting into profits," U.S. District Court Judge Franklin Dupree of the state's eastern district wrote last week in his order striking down the anti pornography law. "This is not the even-handed treatment the (U.S. Constitution's) equal protection clause requires," the federal judge wrote. Prosecutors across the state had been waiting for Dupree and U.S. Western District Court Judge James B. McMillan to rule on the constitutionality of the state adult bookstore law before proceeding with indictments against other bookstore operators. thing settled before the end of the semester. We're ready to make an announcement as soon as we hear something," Ward said. Gibbs said summer housing contracts will not be available until two weeks after the budget is returned to the housing department because of the time involved in printing the contracts. She said summer school dorms will be Connor for women, Winston for men, and Cobb, Alexander and Craige for men and women. .She said the department expects about 700 applicants for summer school housing but that 800 can be housed in the dorms designated for summer school. catcher Bill Schroeder. DTHMik Snad Wilhelm was extremely upset at his team's performance, especially the six errors, two of which came in the three-run Tar Heel eighth. "I'd 'have been embarrassed to win the way we played today," he said. "Never in my time here have we embarrassed ourselves so completely. 1 felt we gave them the baHgame on
