Looking ahead
Psychic powers abound
By GELAREH ASAYESH
Staff Writer -
Audrey Lineberger is a psychic. In
1959 she saw The Light. Some years
later, at the age of 40, she was
Physically Touched, and then she
heard The Voice. It was the most
wonderful and frightening experience
of her life.
Lineberger was born in 1928 in
High Point, N.C. Her grandfather was
a devout Christian, and she
remembers well the stories of Jesus
and his healings which her
grandfather would tell her. From the
beginning she says, she believed.
"I always knew...when they were
talking about the angels and the
archangels and the planets,"
Lineberger says. "Not only do 1
believe in the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost and blessed Jesus and
Mary, but 1 also believe in the angels
and the Cherubim and the Seraphim.
See, I just believe in what is. 1 just
know."
Her exploits are fantastic and
unbelievable like a mystical tale. But
Lineberger is riot outwardly a
dramatic woman. Her appearance is
not extraordinary a tall, energetic
lady, she has a southern accent and a
warm friendly manner. Although she's
5 1 , she seems to be in her prime. There
is a tremendous sense of conviction
about her; an assurance and calm that
speaks of a person secure in her
beliefs.
"Audrey used to predict things and
she'd be right," Lineberger's mother
recalls. "My father was sick a lot and
she always knew when he was going to
get better. She always said he would
die before my mother and he did,
about 13 years sooner."
As a teenager, Lineberger attended
a small-town high school, but was not
interested in college. Most of her
education came from reading books.
"The right book always seemed to
walk into my hands," she says. "I've
done my studies ever since 1 could
opea a book." Lineberger owns
anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 books,
most of which she says she has read
many times.
She says she began her studies by
looking into the truth of all faiths, and
discovered that the same truth was
involved in all of them. The First
science she studied was hypnosis, and
has since studied crystal-gazing, the
cards, numerology, palmistry and
astrology.
"Then 1 went back to my Bible,"
Lineberger says. "1 saw that all the
answers were there. Anybody could
learn them, if they read and
understood."
But Lineberger then discovered she
had the talent of healing, and it soon
became her most important concern.
"1 have some formulas like
prayers and when I touch a person,
it alleviates their pain," Lineberger
says.
To relieve pain, she massages the
area or moves her hand above the area
as she says prayers to herself. The
prayers are different for different
diseases.
One man, Terry Solfvin, who had a
reading done by Lineberger was
impressed by her ability to sense facts
about his past medical history and
remove his pain.
"It is a fairly quick process," Solfvin
says. "It takes from 15-20 minutes."
Lineberger has used this procedure
in lung diseases, diverticulitis, blood
clotting and arthritis. Many will attest
to her healing powers. One woman
with a history of slow clotting blood
believes that Lineberger's healing
procedure saved her from losing her
hand as the result of a serious cut.
"I cut my wrist very badly. As it
turned out it was a question of losing
my hand. 1 called Audrey and she
didn't even touch me. As I recall,
she said a few words and as I looked at
the blood, the flow stopped."
Though Lineberger has great faith
in her talent, she does notpretend to be
infallible. Solfvin recalls some
occasions when his pain has retuned
after Lineberger's treatment.
"Sometimes the pain is organic
instead of psychosomatic," she says.
"When that happens 1 look in the

6 Yack ' pub lis he r refu tes
charges leveled by Ohler
By CAROLYN WORSLEY
Staff Writer
The president of the company that
published the 1979 Yackety Yack
defended the book Monday as one of the
finest ever printed by his company,
denying allegations of inferior quality
and contract violations leveled by '79
Yack Editor Chrisann Ohler.
Ohler has refused to accept shipment of
the book, claiming that Hunter
Publishing Co. of Winston-Salem
violated its contract by missing a late
October delivery deadline, printing and
binding sections of the book without the
Yack staffs approval and providing a
binding inferior to the one used on the
1978 Yack.
But Raleigh Hunter, president of
Hunter Publishing Co., said he feels the
book's quality is highly acceptable
according to his company's standards.
"This is a pretty book as pretty as any
we have printed in the 31 years of this
company," Hunter said.
Hunter printed the Yack in six
previous years 1969, 1971, 1972, 1976,
1977 and 1978. Hunter defended his
company's actions in printing the 1979
Yack, saying that several deadlines had
been missed by the Yack staff.
"She (Ohler) missed every deadline for
serveral weeks or months," he said.
Responding to Order's charges of
inferior binding on the 1979 book.
Hunter said Ohler was told that the book
sent to her was bound by hand and would
not represent the quality of a machine
bound book.
Hunter also denied that any sections of
the book were printed without the Yack
staffs approval. "We didn't print a single
signature without her approval," he said,
adding that the company mailed Ohler
proofs of every section.
Ohler said Monday that the deadlines
agreed upon between the Yack staff and
Hunter's company were understood to be
tentative. She also denied that she was
informed the book sent to her was hand
bound. The book arrived in a plastic
cover and appeared to be machine
bound, she said.
The Yack staffs only absolute deadline
with Hunter was July 15, Ohler said. The
staff was to have all material to the
company by this time to ensure
September delivery. But even though the
material was not turned in to H unter until
Aug. 24, the contract stated that delivery
of the book was to be delayed only by the
number of days the copy was late, she
said.
Ohler aiso said stall members viewed
all sections of the book at the printing
plant except fo a lootball-basketball
section which was mailed to her. She
rejected the sect.on due to poor coloring,
she said.
An eight-page black and white section
had to be specifically requested from
Hunter before the Yack staff was able to
inspect it, Ohler said. The section was
under-inked but the production manager
assured her the problem would be
corrected, she said. But the section was
still under-inked in the bound copy she
received for inspection, she said.
The Media Board voted Monday to
ask Hunter officials to personally present
their side of the dispute before the board
before deciding to take any action against
the company.

Ftrst-CIitzsns Bank end Trust Co. on Franklin Street
.was robbed Monday of an undetermined amount of money
A man robbed an unspecified amount
of money from the East Franklin Street
branch of First-Citizens Bank and Trust
Co. Monday, shortly after noon.
The man entered the bank at 12:05
p.m., presented a demand note and
received the money, said FBI Special
Agent Link Lingenfelter, who is
investigating the robbery.
The man is believed to have been
armed, Chapel Hill police said.
Authorities are looking for a black male,
about 6 feet tall and weighing about 200
pounds.
"It is my understanding he.. .left the
scene on foot," said Ben Callahan,
Chapel Hill Police Department
administrative assistant.
"He was last seen going by the Carolina
Coffee Shop (located across an alley east
of the bank)," Callahan said. "No one saw
him enter a vehicle."
Authorities did not say how much
money was taken from the bank, but
money was taken from only one teller,
Callahan said.
Federal agents and local police
continued their investigation at the bank
throughout the early afternoon,
interviewing bank employees and
customers.
The bank robbery is the first in Chapel
Hill since the University Mall branch of
First Union National Bank was robbed
eight years ago, Callahan said. He said an
arrest was made in connection with that
robbery.
Cahl
e franchise eyes campus expansion
By ANNE-MARIE DOWNEY
Staff Writer
University Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor has
appointed a committee to study the possibility of
extending ChapeL Hill's recently awarded cable
television to the University campus.
"The University, to an extent, has a golden
opportunity laid out in front of it," James Cansler,
UNC's associate vice chancellor for student affairs, said
Monday. Cansler will serve on the committee.
"What we have to figure out is how we're going to take
full advantage of the opportunity," Cansler added.
The establishment of a University committee followed
the November vote by the Chapel Hill Town Council to
award the town's cable television franchise to the locally
owned Village Cable Co. In its application for the town
franchise, Village pledged to provide a channel for
University programming and a Tar Heel sports channel.
The Village group also owns WCHL-radio which long
has been active in Tar Heel sports coverage.
The chancellor's committae, appointed in December,
has been instructed by Taylor to examine all aspects of
the potential use of communication technology on
campus, focusing on cable television.
University Provost J. Charles Morrow, who will chair
the committee, said the committee will begin meeting
later this month.
"One of the first things we need to do is educate
ourselves about what is possible," Morrow said.
"The University may have to do some things (before
any system can be installed)," Morrow said. "And we
know the local company will have to do a lot of things."
Cansler said he particularly would explore bringing
cable television into dorms. He said the committee
would have to consider whether cable television should
be extended to individual dorm rooms or should be
confined to dorm lounges. The cost of cable television
for residence halls also will have to be assessed, he said.
The installation costs for cable television in dorms will
have to come from the University Department of
Housing, Cansler explained.
"And that means rent," he said.
"What we are going to have to know is what students
want," he said. "And if they are willing to have it with
what it is going to cost."
Cansler said he expected that the Housing
Department would consult with representatives from
the Residents Hall Association to draw up some type of
survey to measure student interest in cable television.
Donald Shaw, director of the Media and Instructional
Support Center and professor at the School of
Journalism, also will serve on the committee. Shaw
served on the town's cable television advisory board as a
University representative.
Shaw said he expected that the Village Company
would be receptive to University needs. He added that
the two channels reserved by Village for University use
would be a crucial concern of the committee.
"We have to decide who is going to do that (operate
the channels) and what is going to be done," Shaw said.
"As many different people there are on the committee,
there probably will be as many different ideas of ways to
fill that."
Shaw echoed Cansler's concern for student
involvement in the committee's work.
"Students are a vital part of the whole plan," Shaw
said."I don't know what kind of market students will
be."
Shaw also said, "Within months we will be
surrounded by the city system and we will have to have
our plan in place." Village is expected to begin
operations in the town within a year.
The Village Co. already has begun some efforts
toward installation of the town's system. Village
representatives have met with officials of Southern Bell
Telephone Co. and Duke Power Co., which will help
with the installation of the underground cable network.
Last week. Bob Woodruff, vice president of Village
Cable, presented a request to thetown Planning Board
for a special use permit for the construction of a
television tower with satellite receivers on six acres on
Weaver Dairy Road. Woodruff also requested that the
board.consider granting a permit for expansion of the
Village Co.'s offices on Weaver Dairy Road to make
room for the cable television facilities.
Campaigns test
stamina desire
By PAM HILDEBRAN
Staff Writer
Although most candidates planning to run in the Feb. 13
student body elections are expected to announce their intentions
this week, subtle campaigning actually started last semester.
The elections will decide a new student body president, Daily
Tar Heel editor. Residence Hall Association president, Carolina
Athletic Association president, Campus Governing Council
representatives. Graduate and Professional Student Federation
president and senior class officers. The battles for many of these
offices often are decided on the strength and time commitment of
the candidates' campaign organizations.
Candidates organize supporters in November and usually
make final plans during Christmas vacation. The official
announcements appear in early January, marking the beginning
of a month-long saga of door-to-door campaigning, forums, late
night strategy sessions, sore throats and tired feet.
An Analysis
"I started organizing about Thanksgiving and finalized my
decision in late November," Student Body President J.B. Kelly
said. "But I think that anybody who wants to run is thinking
about it all semester and finalizes the decision sometime in
November."
Jim Phillips. 1978-79 student body president, said he also
made his decision in late November.
"1 knew there were several other people who had started
months before and that I had some catching up to do," Phillips
said. "1 visited other people and asked for support, and I really
started in earnest after Christmas."
But anybody who wants to run can't just throw his name in the
pot. Finances, academic pressures and depth of knowledge about
the available offices all restrict who can run for a post.
Campaign expenditure limits for student body president and
The Daily Tar Heel editor are $360. This money often comes
from the candidates' pockets. An additional allowance is made
for runoff elections.
"I spent my money and my family's and money that I got as
Christmas presents," Phillips said. "It's bad because it causes
limitations on who can run. They've done away with that in
national elections with federal funding, but it's not feasible to use
student funds to do that in campus elections."
Cole Campbell, 1975-76 DTH editor, said he relied on
contributions of $5 and $ 10. but he appears to be the exception to
the rule.
Kelly said there are also limitations on anybody who does not
have experience. "If somebodv wants to run for Daily Tar
Heel editor, he can't if he knows nothing about the paper," Kelly
said. "The same thing goes for Student Government."
Kelly said he campaign itself was the time he had the most
problems. "Sometimes it's tough to even get up for classes," he
said. "The time pressures are there, but there are also
psychological pressures because you're always tense."
Motivation is another factor which limits who can effectively
run for office. "It's tough to go through a month of campaigning
just by keeping up your best image." Kelly said.
Getting enough support also can frustrate a potential
candidate. Phillips said he had approximately 100 people

Tar Heels nip Tech, 54-53
By REID TUVIM
Sports Editor
GREENSBORO Only in the Atlantic Coast
Conference could it happen.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 0-6 in their first
year in the conference and 4-9 overall, came into the
Greensboro Coliseum Monday night a heavy
underdog to the North Carolina Tar Heels. And with
good reason.
The Tar Heels had drubbed then-No. 1 Duke in
Durham and the Jackets had lost big to Troy State
on Saturday.
But Tech head coach Dwane Morrison and his
team would hear nothing of that. After spotting
Carolina an U-point lead five minutes into the
second half, the Jackets went to work and nearly beat
the No. 9 Tar Heels.
The game's outcome depended on a Georgia Tech
in-bounds pass under its own basket with six seconds
left on the clock, and Carolina up 54-53. The Yellow
Jackets worked the ball inside to 6-foot -7 forward
Lenny Horton who rimmed the basket from close
range with :02 left.
"That was the plan, right there." Horton said in the
Tech lockerroom following the defeat. "It felt good
when I shot it, I just missed."
The game ended as Carolina's Al Wood
rebounded Horton's missed shot.
"A little less rim," Wood said of Horton's in-and-out
shot, "and we'd be 2-3 instead of 3-2 (in the
ACC). When I saw the shot miss, all I thought about
was getting the rebound.
"Horton had a great shot." Tar Heel Mike
O'Korcn said. "We were fortunate he missed it."
Tech's Morrison, who watched hi team go 0-7 in
league play, said, "Everything went as planned on the
last play except the ball didn't go in.
"We'll just play one more (ACC game) and see
what's going to happen."
Georgia Tech outplayed Carolina early and was
thinking upset as it held a six-point lead after 10
minutes of play. I he Yellow Jackets connected on
fivr backdoor plays and had no hoU longer than 12
feet on the W3y to a 25-19 lead.
But the 13,175 in the crowd got going and to did
the Heels, as they hit 12 straight points before lech
scored again. Carolina went on to lead 3H-3I at
halftime.
Carolina remained hot at the start of the second
half and built a 44-33 lead with 15:16 remaining.
Tech then wung the momentum and outveored
