Lottery
By LINDA BROWN
Staff Writer
Approximately 1,090 UNC dorm
residents could be looking for a new
home after the annual general room
lottery, to be held Monday.
However, the number of residents
expected to be closed out probably
will be reduced to about 840 after a
preliminary drawing to be held today,
when a large number of students
generally drop out of the lottery, said
Phyllis Graham, administrative
assistant for University Housing
Tuesday.
University Housing has reserved
3,158 spaces for returning residents
for the 1980-81 academic year, and
4,248 students have submitted
contracts to be placed in the lottery.
This would leave 1,090 students
without housing, but Graham said
after the preliminary drawing this
morning to allow residents to change
residence halls, some persons
probably will decide they do not want

By SEAN DYER

With the loud speakers blaring The
Battle Hymn of The Republic, Pat
Paulsen told the audience at Memorial
Hall Tuesday night that he might be the
man who is waiting to lead America to
her destiny.
Paulsen, known for his Emmy Award
performances on the Smothers Brothers
comedy show in the late 1960s and his
campaigns for the presidency in 1968 and
1972 gave his views on everything from
gun control to women and the draft.
Paulsen will not tell you that he has the
solutions, however. "Solutions are not
the answer. What this country needs from
its politicians are more promises."
His 1968 campaign was high lighted
with 89r-per-plate dinner fund raisers,
which helped him gain enough support to
receive 50,000 votes in the election.
Paulsen said that he was neither left
wing nor right-wing but preferred being
in the middle. "If you're too far to the left
or to the right, all you end up doing is
flying around in circles," he said.
"1 don't care what anyone says, the
major cause of forest fires is trees," he
pronounced.
Turning to the social problems
plaguing the country, Paulsen said that
the only way to fight inflation is to shoot
400 beggars a week.
"The solution to the nuclear power
debate is to build all of our reactors near

to displace students
to live in University housing. That
would bring the number of students
closed out for next year down to about
the same as last year's number, 848,
she said.
Approximately 3,250 freshmen are
expected to enroll in the University
next year and 2,700 spaces have been
reserved for them in University
housing. Granville Towers has
reserved 550 spaces for freshmen.
Graham said that after mid-July,
spaces not filled by freshmen will be
open for persons on the housing
central waiting list. Any freshmen who
turn in applications after that time will
be placed in temporary housing, such
as triples and study rooms, she said.
This year, some people closed out
were put into study rooms. "That first
month of school there is an expected
attrition rate and we know we will be
able to house those people," Graham
said.

happens who cares?
"I think that a viable solution to the
energy problem is to build cars longer so
that you can get to where you are going
faster," he said.
Although he was once a candidate for
president, Paulsen said that he is not
naive when it comes to drug use. "I've
tried coke before, and boy is that silly, it
took me an hour to get that bottle out of
my nose."
Paulsen, exhibiting a preoccupation
with sex, said that he knows he really
gives girls pleasure when he has sex with
them because they never fail to laugh.
"The only way to cure inflation is to
levy a tax on sex," Paulsen said. "You've
got to be willingto pay to play if you want
a sound economy."
Paulsen played the guitar and showed
films of his earlier campaigns. He also
exhibited his finger shadow prowess.
The Washington native said he won the
blue ribbon for finger shadows in the
Seattle Pottery and Marijuana Festival
for his interpretation of the sunset.
Paulsen, never short on profound
political statements, said that the United
States is a great country, and we as
Americans should be proud that this is
the only country in the United States.
"The future lies ahead," Paulsen said.
"One thing that we have always been sure
of in this country, and will always look
forward to, is that our future lies ahead of
us."

Craige must turn in housing contracts,
but are automatically placed back into
the dorm. Students who enter the

At this point it is hard to tell if the
male-female ratios in dorms will
change next year, Graham said.
Everyone who remained on the
housing waiting list after being closed
out last year eventually was put back
into a dorm, Graham said. "We have a
listing service here and we are
conducting some workshops or
seminars on apartments," she said.
The Student Consumer Action

Association will be holding seminars

What Happened. to those long ticket lines?
By KERRY DEROCHI

Whether Carolina Fever has gone into remission or if
professors are threatening to fail those who cut their
classes, nobody knows. But those student distribution
lines for Tar Heel basketball tickets just aren't what they
used to be.
Students still eventually claim all the tickets available
to them and the UNC team still is ranked nationally. But
ticket office officials said there has been a definite
decline this year in the number of students willing to
spend an entire day sitting in Carmichael Auditorium to
ensure a place in line when tickets are distributed at 5
pjn.
"We used to go into overflow," said Tom Calder,
assistant ticket manager. "But lately we've had them
(tickets) picked up later in the day."
Bill Strickland, head of ushers for ticket distribution,
said the decrease was part of a trend. "Traditionally on

elections he only got one vote.
But that one vote was all he needed to
be swept into office from CGC District
19, completely without his knowledge.
No candidates had announced for the
District 19 seat and since all other write
in vote recipients had declined the office,
McCutcheon's solitary write-in ballot
was enough to give him the victory.
"1 have no idea what a CGC
representative does, but I plan to learn,"
McCutcheon said.
Election District 19 is for off-campus
undergraduate students living south of
Franklin Street, west of U. S. 15-501
Bypass and east of Columbia Street.
There were 10 other eligible write-ins,
but they all declined the office, said F.

Survivors face rent
By LINDA BROWN
Staff Writer
A 6.9 percent increase in rents for
students living in University housing
has been approved for the 1980-81
academic year, Alan Ward, assistant
director of housing for business, said
Tuesday.
Double-occupancy rents for
students living in group I dorms will
increase from $285 to $305 per
semester. Group II double-occupancy
rents were increased from $303 to
$324 per semester. Group III room
rents were changed from $33 1 to $354.
Group I consists of Alexander,
Aycock, Carr, Everett, Grimes, Lewis,
Old East, Old West and Ruffin. Group '
II consists of Avery, Connor, Craige,
Ehringhaus, Hinton James, Joyner,
Mangum, Manly, Morrison, Parker,
Teague, Whitehead and Winston.
Group III consists of Alderman,
Cobb, Graham, Kenan, Mclver,
Spencer and Stacy.
the weekends you have a large crowd when the doors
open and then the auditorium slowly fills up," he said.
When tickets for the Feb. 23 Duke game were
distributed Sunday, students coming at 2:30 p.m. could
still get tickets even though distribution started at 2 p.m.,
he said.
The decline can be attributed to several factors, ticket
officials said. "Although there seems to be as much
interest, students are just getting smart and realizing
they don't have to go down so early," said Jean Keller,
UNC ticket manager.
Assistant Athletic Director Moyer G. Smith agreed
with Keller. "More students have realized that you don't
have to stand in line for long knowing that you can get
tickets later," he said. The increased number of televised
games also contributes to the low turnout for
distribution, Keller said.
Strickland said he believed the decline can be
attributed either to random distribution methods (where

McCutcheon said he hopes to use the

afternoon. Around campus this
past week, many people catching
a few rays got a headstart on the
summer. As the weather promises
to take a warm turn toward the
end of the week, we can expect to
see the old reliables hanging ten
under the Carolina blue sky.
The dorms are categorized in
groups according to items provided in
some of the buildings that may not be
provided in others.
"I don't think a 7 percent increase is
very high, in spite of the fact that it was
only a 4 percent increase last year,"
Ward said. "So the two-year increase
is about the same when you consider
what the rate of inflation has been."
During the 1975-1976 academic
year, double rooms in the group I
category cost $225, group 11 residents
paid $240 and rooms in group 111 cost
$280.
"The rate goes up every year it's
very rare that it doesn't," Ward said.
"There has been one time in the past
five years that it hasn't. During the '77
to '78 academic year, it did not go up.
"We're providing basically the same
housing program we've had in the
past, but we have increased cost.
We're a pretty self-supported agency.

Staff Writer
This year's outdoor concert in Kenan
Stadium newly christened "Chapel
Thrill '80" will be preceded the night
before by a Carmichael Auditorium
concert featuring Chic and Sister Sledge,
Carolina Union officials announced
Tuesday.
No bands have been confirmed for the
Kenan Stadium concert set for April 19,
however, said Richard Terrell, chairman
of the Student Government Concert
Committee.
The "Chapel Thrill '80" logo was
chosen for the Kenan Concert as the
result of a name-the-concert contest
promoted earlier this month, Terrell said.
UNC sophomores Heather Spicer and
Kathy Collins submitted the winning
entry. They will receive four
complimentary tickets to the concert.
Other entries in the name -thc-co nee rt
contest included such dubious

things are going up in terms of costs."
Ward said he doesn't expect
residents to be happy about the
increase, but he said he thinks
everyone realizes the price of
everything is increasing.
"By comparison of the consumer
price index, the estimated average
price increase for 1980 over 1979 is
12'$ percent and our rents really have
gone up less than that in two years," he
said.
"Just from observation, from what I
hear goes on. they certainly do not go
up as fast as apartment rates go up,"
he said. Steve Hunting, Student
Consumer Action Union chairperson,
said that on the average, double-room
apartment rents have increased by 12
15 percent during 1979.

expenses and incomes of the housing
department may do so by contacting
either their residence director or
Ward, whose office is in the housing
department in Carr building.

better than the first) or to misleading information.
"Because of the potluck situation, it doesn't really matter
what time you get here, so more students will come
later," he said.
Strickland added he did not see any decline in student
interest in the basketball team but said many were
misled by the turnouts for what he called the three
major games. Because of the large attendance for the
game held during spring semester registration,
Strickland said many students believe they will have no
chance of getting a ticket for any more important games
such as the Duke or N.C. State game.
Both Strickland and Keller said differences in the
UNC teams over the years play a minor role in
influencing student interest. "How well the team played
may have made a 500-600 student difference in the
turnout for tickets," Strickland said.

Springalingus, Bagger Brunch, Apathy
'80 and Perrywinkle Parade. Terrell said
the concert committee felt that "Chapel
Thrill '80" best conveyed the spirit of the
concert.
"It sounded like something that would
appeal to a lot of people and catch on," he
said.
Although Chic and Sister Sledge have
not officially signed a contract, Carolina
Union Assistant Director Linda Wright
said she was "95 percent sure" the two
rhythm-and-blues disco bands would
perform April 18. Carmichael
Auditorium already has been reserved lor
the concert, she said.
Wright said tickets for the concert
likely would cost $6 in advance and $7 at
the door. No price has been set for the
"Chapel Thrill '80" concert.

Stadium, featuring Jimmy Buffett, the
Spinners and Nantucket, drew more th3n
