A full-scale' campaign to draft
Georgian contic-ftrip character Pogo
Possum for president is underway,
according to a report released by
Possum's newly opened campaign
headquarters in Washington, D. C.
The report was released in spite of
Possum's declaration that he
"absolutely and alphabetically will not
run for president " Possum, who was
out of town campaigning, could not be
reached for further comment.
According to a spokesman for the
campaign, funds are bjeing enlisted for
Possum's candidacy by campaign
manager Albert Alligator.
"We're trying to get colleges to write
in their support," the spokesman said.
"Our main goal is toiave more college
students registered Ahan ever have
registered before." j
Alligator, who was but fishing, also
was unavailable for comment.
Possum's supporters maintain that
he would be a good candidate for
president because of,the stamina and
popularity he has shovvn during his 25
year career as the world's most
influential comic strip. During his
comic career, he hasppeared in more
than 450 papers. ;
Possum has also ' practiced and
insisted on hospitality, tolerance of
diversity, generosityfprotection of the
weak, justice and tnL pursuit of life,
liberty and happinessMin his home in
EfTTlP
Okefenokee Swamp, according to his
campaign staff. He and his colleagues
have been instrumental in their fights
against political repression, pollution
and excessive weaponry and are in
support of equal rights and common
decency, they say.
Plans for Possum's campaign
include posters and campaign
buttons, which will be available in the
near future. Campaign officials also
are planning to send out a newsletter
regularly and would like to send
1979 ESTATE OF WALT KELLY
campaign coordinators to any schools
that express interest.
Response to the campaign so far has
been good in the western United
States, according to campaign
officials, and a heavy response is
expected in the South. "We're
expecting a good response from you
Southerners'," said campaign
spokesman, "because Pogo originated
in the South in the Okefenokee
Swamp."

ee to consider
increase in health, fee
By LYNN CASEY
Staff Writer
Student Body President J.B. Kelly said Sunday he plans to
oppose a proposal for a $7.50 per semester student health service
fee increase to be presented today to the UNC Board of Trustees.
The Trustees will meet at 2 p.m. in the faculty lounge of the
Morehead Building.
The Student Consumer Action Union and Student
Government are opposed to the health fee increase, which was
recommended in November by the health service administrative
board. The mmmmmmmhmmmmmm
increase would be

this year.
Kelly said .he
opposes the fee
increase because
the health service
administrative
board approved
the
recommendation
for a health fee
increase by only a
5-4 margin. A
recent SCAU
survey showed
Tittle support
among students for an increase, he said.
"The proposed fee increase proves there is no stopping fee
increases unless services are evaluated and reviewed," Kelly said.
A special Student Government SCAU health report will
provide ammunition to argue against the fee increase, Kelly said.
From staff reports
The committee searching for a
successor to retiring Chancellor N.
Ferebee Taylor will report to the
University's Board of Trustees at 2
p.m. today, it was learned Sunday.
The committee will recommend
fewer than six names, including some
from outside the University. The
trustees then will forward at least two
names to UNC President William C.
Friday, who will choose one candidate
for approval by the UNC Board of
Governors.
Taylor's last day as chancellor is
Thursday, but sources indicated it is
The report includes the results of SCAU health survey of 122
randomly selected UNC students during the first two weeks of
January.
Survey results show 6.6 percent of the students questioned
support the proposed fee increase while 24.4 percent favored no
increase. For overall health service personnel ratings, the survey
showed family nurse practitioners received a 67.4 percent rating
of either excellent or above adequate, and 18 percent of the
students who had seen health service physicians gave them scores
of poor or less than adequate.
Brad Lamb, student health advocate for SCAU, said he
believed the $35
health fee increase
instituted last fall
was excessive. All
fee increases
should be stopped
until a survey of
student health
. needs is conducted,
he said.
Dr. James A.
Taylor, director of
Student Health
Services, said the
health service
could not operate
without the fee
increase and would
have to undergo
deficit spending if
unlikely that the president will
appoint an interim chancellor for the
period from Taylor's retirement until
the final selection of his permanent
successor. -
Friday may present his choice to fill
the vacant chancellorship when the
Board of Governors meets Feb. 8, or
he may request a special session of the
governors before that time, it was
learned.
Friday said Sunday night that he
had received no word from the search
committee concerning the candidates
to be recommended to the Board of
Trustees today.
the proposal were not approved
Under state law, the health service cannot undergo deficit
spending however, and would thus be forced to cut back services.

Hayden B. Renwick, associate dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences, Thursday night
received not only quips from roasters but three
standing ovations in support of his work in
minority affairs at the University.
In what the event's organizers described as a
strong show of unity among the UNC black
community, 300 people attended a roast
sponsored by the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity in
Renwick's honor in the Great Hall of the
Carolina Union.
The evening was filled with laughter and
applause, as friends, academic associates and
students roasted Renwick, who has gained
widespread attention as an outspoken critic of
the University's admissions policy and the lack
of an office for minority and disadvantaged
students.
Michael Morales, afooaster and member of
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, jokingly confessed,
"I'm extremely happy be here but not because
of you, dean my meal was free."
Morales added that Renwick's social life was
so good that his front yard was considered a
holy shrine.
"Just the other day I saw three guys dressed in

Morales said.
Lillian Lee, member of the Orange County
Board of Elections said that when she first met
Renwick he swore he was a lover and he even
t carried around a little inscription which read "1
' am a lover."
To a hooting audience she confessed that she
had discovered that Bennie Renwick was indeed
a lover but went on to explain her quip in a more
serious tone.
"First, Dean Renwick is a very loving father
and husband," Lee said. "Second, he is a real,
real lover of the University and he wants it to
live up to the reputation it has across the
country. Third, Bennie Renwick is definitely a
lover of you, the students, and he'll do all he can
for you. Fourth, he is a lover of his
friends.... And I'm real proud to be on the loving
end of his friendship."
Renwick received as much toasting as
roasting from the 18 speakers.
Allen Johnson, a graduate of the University
and roastmaster, called Renwick the students'
parent away from home and said if it had not
been for Renwick's efforts many black students
would not be enrolled in the University.
Moved to tears, Renwick was unable to make
a speech but thanked the audience for what he
called the greatest honor ever received in his life.

First in a five-part series
Students at UNC generally are optimistic about
the country's long-term future, but view 1980 as a
year of trouble, according to a survey conducted for
The Daily Tar Heel by a Business Administration
261 marketing research group.
Data for the survey was collected Nov. 8-12 using
door to door distribution of questionnaires that
covered a variety of campus, state and national
issues, l he sample
population of the UNC
student body was divided
into subsets according to
place of residence, and a
random sample of
students was selected
from each subset.
Personal interviews were
conducted with 208
students to get a good
response rate. The length of survey the survey ruled
out the possibility of telephone interviews.
Based on the size of the sample and a confidence
level of 95 percent, the results of the survey are
accurate within plus or minus 7 percent.
"The students had only one major problem
collecting the data "said Fritz Russ, business school
professor and instructor for the BA 261 research
group. "Some apartment complexes changed their
policy and asked that we not distribute the
STUDENT
VHEW
questionnaires. This left a wide gap in the apartment
groups, which probably means we had a lower
proportion of older and independent students.
"Our sample pretty well represents the people on
this campus, though," he added.
At the time the survey was taken, the economy and
the energy crisis were seen as America's two most
important problems. By a slim margin, the students
polled said they disapproved of the way President
Carter was handling his job and predicted that Sen.
Edward Kennedy (D
Mass.) would be the
country's next president.
But, as Russ pointed
out, the results of the
survey may have changed
over the past two months
because of the crises in
Iran and Afghanistan.
"If one looks at the
way the polls have
changed nationally, one would expect some change
here as well." he said.
In other national issues, the campus favored
balancing the federal budget and capital punishment.
However, Russ said: "Probably right now, as
people are starting to think about the possibility of
confrontation with Russia, we're likely to have some
more polarized opinions."

While North Carolina's 73-70 Atlantic
Coast Conference victory Saturday over
Clemson reinforced theories that the Tar
Heels can win without James Worthy and
the Tigers can't win period in Chapel
Hill, two more important questions were
raised.
The first query is serious and concerns
Carolina's inability this season to get
started off well during home games in
Carmichael Auditorium.
The second quiz is more light-hearted
and centers around a center or
forward who pretended for a few
minutes that his jump shot was as good as
Phil Ford's. When is Rich 'Chick'
Yonakor going to stop kidding everyone
and admit he belongs in the backcourt?
But wait a minute Yonakor doesn't
even shoot a jumper. It's more of a soft,
left-handed set shot, reminiscent of days
gone by when short guards arched long
bombs over zone defenses. The difference
was that the 6-foot-10 guys of Yonakor's
size stayed underneath to collect missed
shots. The tall men had their meal money
withheld if they dared to shoot anything
other than an inside hook.
Yonakor dared to shoot the open 15-to-20
footer against the Tigers and
connected on five straight midway
through the second half, adding some zest
to a sluggish Carolina attack which all
but tried to give the game away in the
early minutes.
Unforced errors caused UNCs woes in
the first half, and 13 turnovers stood out
more than the Heels' 61 percent field goal
shooting. Passes went between legs, off
hands and out of bounds without any
outstanding pressure from Clemson.
"I couldn't pinpoint it," said Tar Heel
forward Al Wood, "but we made a lot of
stupid mistakes where they didn't force it.
Concentration maybe that's what it is."
Wood offered one hypothesis for
Carolina's uninspiring starts in front of
the home fans. "When we play at home,
we're depending on the crowd to get
things going. We just can't do that."
Clemson led until the first-half buzer
when UNCs Pete Budko tipped in dUc
Colescott miss to put the Tar Heels ahead
35-33, a lead they never lost.
"We're thrilled to win a very important
ACC game," Carolina head coach Dean
Smith said. "But it was a strange way to

Shots advised
for red measles
By BEVERLY SHEPARD
SUIT Writer
Student Health Services will vaccinate UNC studenti againM
red measles 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday in an effort to
contain an outbreak of the disease.
SHS officials decided Thursday to begin vaccinations because
a rash of 12 red measles cases in Carrboro school children had
spread to a UNC student. No other cases have been reported
since Thursday.
Students living in Alderman, Stacy, Spencer and Old East
dorms and the Lambda Chi fraternity houvc are urged to receive
immunization. The student with the confirmed case of red
measles had been at these places recently.
Anyone who had the disease as a child or who has been
vaccinated since 1967 probably is protected, aid SHS physician
Dr. James McCutchan.
Orange County Health Director Jerry Robinson said students
vaccinated before Jan. I, 1967 received a strain of vaccine that
does not offer permanent protection.
For students uncertain whether they have had red measles or
the vaccine, McCutchan said, "If you do not know, get the shot."
The strain of vaccine used now should protect students for a
lifetime from both red measles and German measles, or three -day
measles, a less serious form of the disease, Robinson said.
He said those students who should not take the vaccine are: I)
those with more than an ordinary cold, 2) those allergic to eggs,
3) those allergic to the antibiotic neomycin or have taken the drug
cortisone, 4) those with cancer, leukemia or lymphoma, and 5)
those with any disease that lowers resutance to infection.
Officials are not certain whether measles vaccines could cause
problems for pregnant women or for their babies. Robinson said
pregnant w omen should not take the shot, and he advised women
