Carter went before a joint session of Congress to report on the agreements he mediated between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem -Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat during their 13 days at Camp David, Md. . Carter said Vance will leave today for talks with Jordan's King Hussein and King Khalid of Saudi Arabia. He said Vance's goal is "to secure their support for the realization of the new hopes and dreams of the people of the Middle East." - Carter's speech wound up a day in which the administration began a diplomatic and political offensive in support of the fragile Mideast agreement, signed in a White House ceremony Sunday night. The president had the firm support of both Begin and Sadat, who were seated on either side of Rosalynn Carter in the visitors gallery of the House of Representatives as Carter spoke. For his part, Begin announced he had won a U.S. promise to build Israel two new air bases in the Negev Desert to replace those in the Sinai being returned to Egyptian control. .. . Begin also said Israel plans to maintain a military" presence on the West Bank, even after the five-year transition toward Palestinian autonomy in the region. U.S. officials confirmed that the agreement would allow seeks, Arab qua 6,000 Israeli soldiers to remain on the West Bank but away from population centers. Asked whether Israeli troops might remain on the West Bank for five, 10 or 15 years. Begin replied: "Yes, why not? Yes, possibly." He said Israel wants a peace settlement with Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. The idea is not to have one separate peace treaty between Israel and Egypt but to reach a comprehensive peace settlement," he said. In his nationally televised address, Carter said that if expectations are realized therecould be peace between Egypt and a free Jewish nation of Israel for the first time in more than 2,000 years. . "The world prayed for the success of our efforts, and those prayers have been answered," the president said. The support of Jordan and Saudi Arabia are considered vital to the outcome of the U.S.-led peace drive. One of the two agreements negotiated at Camp David envisions Jordan playing a prominent role in shaping a negotiated settlement for the West Bank of the Jordan River. But King Hussein has made no statement on the accords, saying he wants to study them first. From the start, the United States, Egypt and Israel have tried to get Hussein to join in peace talks. He has held out for a commitment from Israel to withdraw from the West Bank. That territory was controlled by Jordan from 1948 to 1967; when it was lost to Israel in the Six Day War. Begin and Sadat were given lengthy applause by members of the House and Senate when they were introduced by Carter. Both men had spent the day explaining their positions on the Camp David accord to their own people. Apparently in disagreement with concessions that Sadat made at Camp David, Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel resigned, just as his predecessor, Ismail Fahmy, had done last year to protest the Egyptian president's historic peace overture to Israel. : Sadat said he met with Kamel on Monday morning and accepted his resignation as of Friday. "We are a democracy," Sadat said. "He will not be put in prison or a concentration camp because he differed in opinion with me. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion." The Camp David agreement showed signs of strain when Begin told Israeli reporters that Israel did not consider itself bound to forego establishing further settlements on the West Bank. A senior American official, briefing reporters on terms of the agreement, said Israel was prohibited from setting up new settlements for at least five years. Beyond that period, the agreement is silent. The official, who asked not to be named, said that after all the terms of the agreement are examined, other Arab countries will recognize that Sadat achieved "many of the long-desired objectives of the Arab world." At a briefing for 75 members of Congress in the East Room of the White House, the president said the 13-day summit meeting which ended with signing of the peace framework Sunday night was "one of the most historic i See MIDEAST on page 2 Task force to design in admissions official charges system for statewide By EDDIE MARKS Staff Writer UNC is rejecting applications from qualified black students in spite of expressed commitments to increase black enrollment, said Hayden Renwick, essciate-deaii4f the College of Arts and Sciences. Renwick aired his views in a column published in the Sunday edition of the Chapel Hill Newspaper. "I just couldn't keep silent any longer," he said. "I tried to deal with the problem within the confines of the University, but I wasn't getting anywhere." Enrollment statistics show that 427 of 554 black applicants were accepted at UNC in 1974. In 1978, 706 black students applied and 424 were accepted. "They accepted three fewer black students in 1978 than in 1974 even though they had more applicants to choose from," Renwick said. "It doesn't matter how many black students apply. Black enrollment won't increase until they (the University) start accepting more of the applicants." Renwick said the Undergraduate Admissions Office claims there are not enough qualified black applicants. But the University does not apply a consistent defmition of the word 'qualified he said, r "When the University uses this word 'qualified' they mean different things. The standards are relaxed for the children of alumni or for athletes. Even if the children of alumni are from another state, they're treated just like in-state students. "I've never said that concessions shouldn't be made for athletes or students with special talents. But I think we also have a great need for more black students. My complaint is that if we can make concessions for other cases, why not make them for black studentsr too?" Enrollment statistics show that approximately 300 black students have been denied admission during the past three years. Renwick said he attempted to get further documentation by reviewing rejected applications, but was denied permission to see the files by Richard Cashwell, director of undergraduate admissions. . to "They cited the Buckley Right Privacy Act as the reason I couldn't see,, b'ut there were many other people who were allowed to see them. They knew what I was looking for and knew that I would find it in those files." Renwick said he also asked higher University officials for permission to review the files when he was the . chancellor's special assistant. "So far, I haven't received an answer." Renwick said the Undergraduate Admissions Office has admitted making a mistake in the cases of 17 rejected black applicants. In the article, he also quoted Cashwell as saying "the U niversity is not committed to increasing the black enrollment." . i " ' ' y ' t , , iiuHy. t J Hayden Renwick Cashwell refused to comment on Renwick's article. Renwick said the University administration will have to intervene to change the admissions process. "Someone higher up will have to tell Cashwell what to do for the situation to change," he said. "If they tell Cashwell to do it, he will." Students may trade parking permits with others By MARTHA WAGGONER Staff Writer For the first time in the history of University parking, students wishing to make a one-on-one parking sticker switch may do so. The new policy goes into effect today. , The switch must take place between two persons who have parking stickers; said Cindy Mayes, motor vehicle registration supervisor. The students wishing to trade should come to the Traffic Office together between 8 a.iu. and t p.m. any weekday with their parking slickers. "It's important to emphasize that the only way to trade stickers is by coming to the Traffic Office," Mayes said. "Trading stickers without coming by here could result in a $50 fine." Mayes said the decision to hold the exchanges came in response to the number of people calling and complaining about the sticker they received. "We have to go by the Student Government transportation bill, which is four years old and gives preference to grad students, seniors, juniors and sophomores, in that order," Mayes said. "By going by the Student Government's list, 1 had to misplace 250 sophomores." More students received permits in the first-choice area this year than ever before, Mayes said. Two thousand persons pre-registered for parking stickers, also a record number. But Mayes said a person wishing to buy rather than trade a sticker must come in on Tuesdays to see what is available. "You can't come in here with a person wanting to sell his sticker and buy it," Mayes said. "That is still done on Tuesdays on a first-come, first-serve basis." Clinic offers counseling to deal with family deaths By SUDIE TAYLOR Staff Writer Kevin sluggishly answered his phone early one morning. An impersonal voice told him his father had died during the night in intensive care. Stunned, he sank to his bed. "Death is the last thing on someone's mind especially a student's until he is personally confronted with it," says Dr. Myron Liptzin, a psychiatrist at the UNC Student Mental Health Clinic. Another student, Debbie, recalled the loss of her mother. "At first I didn't want to believe she was dead. I told the doctor that he must be wrong. She had to be alive." Debbie's denial of her mother's death was the first stage in what Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, author oi On Death and Dying, calls the grief process. Anger often follows denial, Kubler ; Ross says. "It seemed so unfair," says a student whose brother was killed in a car accident. "I wanted to lash out at anyone." In the grief process, depression can be the most difficult phase to overcome, the author says. "Whenever I thought about my Dad, especially the little things he used to do around the house, it made me feel so down," Kevin recalls. Responsibilities to the family may demand the student's attention when a death occurs. If he is needed at home but is expected to miss only a few days of school, a student may be less able to deal with the loss. His family may lean on him.. As Kevin- recalls, "With my Dad gone, my mother depended. on me., I had to learn to do things for myself" . Leaving school to be with the family isn't easy. "You can't take two weeks off like a company employee can," Liptzin says. In some cases the student must decide whether to stay in college or drop out to support his family. Either v decision, psychiatrists say, can create guilt feelings and have other repercussions. "A student must realize that it's time to get on with his life," Liptzin adds. Students who have suffered the loss of a loved one say talking it out with friends and allowing time to ease the loss prove effective. But some students cannot arrive, without professional help, at the last stage of the grief process acceptance. Liptzin advises, "If a student continues feeling depressed, has disturbing nightmares or unsolved guilt, he may want to seek counseling at the Mental Health Clinic. Reminiscent of '60 s public radio network By MARK MURRELL Suit Writer- y ; -State wide public radio has yet to become a reality in North Carolina, but measures are underway to study the medium for possible use, according to state officials involved in the project. We have been asked to study, develop and recommend a system of public non-commercial radio directed to a general audience," said Professor Wesley Wallace of UNC Department of Radio, Television and Motion Pictures. "Wallace is chairperson of a N.C. Public Telecommunications Task Force subcommittee on radio. Gov. Jim Hunt appointed the task force earlier this year to look into a possible state-supported radio system. The N.C. General Assembly appropriated $125,000 in June for the design of a statewide public FM network. The task force came up with the concepts, and the University study should come up with more definite plans for implementation," said state Rep. Bill McMillan of Statesville, sponsor of the appropriations amendment in the legislature. Wallace's subcommittee last jmojtfh submitte&a 13-page report to the full task' force -proposing technical requirements for the network. Under the subcommittee's plan, a non-profit corporation called North Carolina Public Radio Inc. would act as administrator for the network. Programming for each member station would be independent of the University system and state government. But each station would be capable of hooking up with the full network. One of the subcommittee's goals is to keep public radio locally oriented, the report says. WUNC radio in Chapel Hill, station WVSP in Warrenton and WFDD in Winston-Salem are the only such stations in the state. Before more stations can join the public system, the full task force must . make its report to the state legislature and a study of available broadcast frequencies must be completed, Wallace said. Wallace said subcommittee members expect an engineering consultant to submit a report on available frequencies by December. pcLDCJK encourages aeuiLTasm By CAM JOHNSON Staff Writer Former People's Party presidential candidate Dr. Benjamin Spock said Sunday that young Americans are more hesitant to take stands on crucial woridtssuesthan their predecessors in the 1960s: Spock made the remark to a Hamilton Hall audience of 150 in an address sponsored by the UNC Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense. In his speech Sunday and at a press conference Monday, Spock attacked the American government as unjust. American college students should demonstrate for what they believe even at the risk of jail, he said. "AH young people, "especially middle-class kids, should get arrested at least once for an honorable cause," Spock said. "I think young people today are interested in crucial issues and they're idealistic. But they're much more practical about not taking stands that would jeopardize their careers. , "One reason they're not active is that after hearing about the protests of the '60s, they have come to the conclusion that protest doesn't work," he said. Spock, convicted in 1968 of conspiring to aid young people avoiding the draft, said student activisim led to the end of the Vietnam War. "Every person who attended any demonstration or wrote letters to their congressman counted in the end," he said. "President Johnson was forced out of office because he felt so uncomfortable with the dissent against the war) Spock discounts charges that his book Baby and Child Care advocated child-rearing practices that led to the student unrest of the 1960s. The book has sold 28 million copies since 1946. "Somehow 1 got this reputation as a corrupter of youth," Spock said. "Critics said when these people (protestors) were children they were spoiled by demand feeding. TtriV is ridiculous:" Spock said his opposition to the government began during his days as an anti-war activist in the 1960s. "The government must be run for the benefit of the people, not the private interests," Spock said. "We should have a kind of decentralized socialism with neighborhoods deciding what type of housing and schools they want. "I would prefer people live more simply with more emphasis on the family and community," he said. , Spock said American society stresses competition too heavily. "Our children are taught a highly unnatural kind of competition where they get ahead.' Human nature is to be cooperative, to live in a cooperative society and work on cooperative projects," he said. Spock said he doubts socialism will become a reality in the United States. "College people are more practical minded, and when they succeed in getting a good job they won't want to overthrow the system," he added. "Working-class people are hoodwinked into thinking if they work hard, they'll get rich too," he said. Unless Americans recognize the suffering of poor people in the United States, social unrest will increase in the future, Spock predicted. "People have the capacity of ignoring injustice and danger until the issue is brought to them," he said. "If they don't become involved, I can see all our serious wrongs getting worse instead of better." 9 V, , DTHKim Snook Dr. Benjamin Spock
