For 48 hours Ernest McCutcheon, a junior economics major, was a campus leader. He was pleasantly surprised Tuesday when he was told by the Student Elections Board that he had been elected 'to the uncontested Campus Governing Council from District 19 with only one write-in vote to his credit. However, it has since come to light that Brain Goray, a junior economics and political science major, received two write-in votes in the Feb. 13 elections, thus winning the election by an overwhelming 67 percent margin. . The Elections Board had known of Goray's two votes earlier, but had disqualified him when they discovered he had moved, said F. Scott Simpson. The board incorrectly thought Goray no longer lived in District 19 and had therefore considered him ineligible. But Goray said he knew both he and his roommate had voted for him in the general elections and so, when he read a story in The Daily Tar Heel stating that McCutcheon had won by one vote, he asked Simpson what had happened to his votes. Goray had moved, but he had not moved out of the District 19 area. McCutcheon said Wednesday he was not upset and understood the confusion of the Election Board. "I was a litte disappointed but the majority rules," McCutcheon joked.

Templeton won 88-85 over opponent Rhonda Whicker in District 13, which includes Upper Quad and Henderson Residence College. He claimed 66 of 1 17 votes cast at the polling site at Conner dorm and 22 of 56 in Ruffin. "I plan to work to the best of my abilities for U pper Quad and Henderson Residence College, to work toward a more decisive student governing council," Templeton said. Radisch defeated opponent Nancy Duffner by a 20-7 margin for the District 19 seat, capturing 14 of 20 votes cast at the Carolina Union, three of four at Wilson Library, both votes cast at the Y Court and the lone vote cast at Scuttlebutt. District 17 is an off-campus undergraduate district covering students living in Northside, Colonial Heights and in Carrboro north of N.C. 54. "I wouldn't say I made any promises," Radisch said. "1 just plan on looking at everything objectively despite my participation in other organizations. It was more or less a campaign to those who knew me." Radisch, a member of the Student Consumer Action Union and the Association for Women Students, is a sophomore from Kernersville. Templeton is a freshman from Boone.

State Athletic Department looking for a basketball highlight film to show one night, the Wolfpack officials ought to just send over a tape of Wednesday night's State-Carolina game. It was 40 minutes of what Pack head coach Norm Sloan called "near perfection." It was Clyde Austin and Hawkeye Whitney's last home game. It was State vs. Carolina. And the final score State by 63-50 was a near perfect indicator of how thoroughly the Wolfpack outplayed the Tar Heels. The Pack hit an amazing 25-of-34 field goal attempts 73.5 percent including U-of-12 by Whitney on his way to a game-high 26 points. And State's shots weren't layups and tip-ins; most came from the 18-foot range. At the other end, Carolina faced a quick, hawking defense throughout the game. The Heels were able to dent neither the Pack's zone nor man-to-man defense with any measureable success for most of the game, connecting on only 45.5 percent of their shots. "I thought N.C. State played an outstanding game " Carolina head coach Dean Smith said. "It's hard to defeat this team any team three times in one year?Carolina beat State in the Big Four and last month in Carmichael Auditorium. "They shot very well," Smith said. "They were not difficult shots, but they were from outside. Just look at this shot chart from the first half. We've never seen anything like it." (State was 16-of-21 in the first half.) "It was a great game by just a tremendous bunch of guys," Sloan said. "There's more affection and love on this team than people realize. There were a lot of guys playing awfully hard for one thing, to help each other to win the game." The game started out slowly for the first few minutes, both teams passing the ball around seemingly dozens of times before taking a shot. Carolina took the lead 2-0 at the 18:04 mark when forward Al Wood tossed in an 1 8-footer, showing no effect of a fractured index finger on his shooting hand. After Whitney tied the game, John Virgil gave Carolina its second and final lead at 4-2 on a 15 footer of his own. The teams traded baskets until State went up for good with 9:09 remaining when guard Dereck Whittenburg hit a 20-foot jumper to make it 18-16. State drew out to as much as a nine-point lead with 2:54 left, but Carolina whittled the deficit back to four before Whitney hit two free throws with :01 to put the Pack up 36-30 at the half. State came out inthe second half and built the lead to 10 at 46-36 with 14: 16 left, but Carolina ran off six straight points to pull to four. The Pack's Kenny Matthews put an end to the Heel run, though, when he came right back with a 20 footer to start State on an 8-1 spree, and the game was as good as decided. "We got close midway through the second half," Carolina forward Mike O'Koren said. "But Matthews hit a shot and we didn't get close after that. "It gets pretty depressing when you play good defense, and they just keep knocking them in from deep," said O'Koren, who had 13 points. "It was a good game," said Whitney, who was voted player of the game. "1 always think we could have played better. The shots I was taking tonight By ANNE-MARIE DOWNEY Staff Writer Cable television, which will be available in Chapel Hill by summer, also will be coming to the University campus, James Cansler, associate vice chancellor for student affairs, said Wednesday. "There will be cable TV in the residence halls," Cansler said. "I don't think there is much doubt it will be coming to campus." Cansler is a member of the committee established in December by former Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor to study the possibility of bringing cable television to campus and also to investigate University use of communication technology. Cansler is chairman of a subcommittee that is studying cable television use in dorms. Cansler said the University would have to decide if cable television should be restricted to common areas of dorms or should be available in individual rooms. "One of the things that is relatively clear is that residence halls should at least have one cable television in the common areas," Cansler said. How extensive cable television will be in dorms, Cansler said, will depend on the amount it will add to dorm tents. Cansler said he assumed the cost of cable television would come from student rents. Cansler also said he thought campus cable television would have to be provided by Village Cable Co., the company selected in November for the town's cable TV franchise. But the University has the authority to choose its own cable television franchise. "There would be no (practical) alternative on that, because Village Cable has the franchise from Chapel Hill," Cansler said. "You can't get to the University campus except through Chapel Hill." Cansler said it is too soon to predict when dorms might have cable television. In its application for the town franchise, Village said it would have the town's cable system operating within one year. But Jim Heavner, president of Village, said Wednesday that he expects to begin operating the system in May and to have cable in 5,000 homes by Labor Day. Off-campus students returning to school for the fall semester should be able to hook up to cable, he said. Village's planned installation fee is $39.95. Monthly rates vary according to programs requested. The Town Council recently approved a special use permit for Village Cable Co. to build cable television studios and a 150-foot telev ision tower on Weaver Dairy Road north of town. Heavner said Village will begin installing cable in the north and will move southward. He said he hoped the cable lines would reach Franklin Street by June. But he said the schedule depends on Southern Bell Telephone Co. and Duke Power Co., which must prepare their utility lines before cable can be installed. Heavner said local programming would be the last stage in completing the system and probably would not begin immediately after the system is installed. Village's studios are expected to be completed by September. Since Village received the franchise, the company has considered adding more programming to its package, he said. Village plans to offer a 24-hour classical music station and may offer some British Broadcasting Co. programs, he said. Its movie channel will show movies 24-hours a day, not 15 hours a day as originally planned, he said.

As the deadline for an American boycott of the Moscow Olympics passed Wednesday, U.S. Olympic officials reaffirmed their intent to wait until April before making a final boycott decision. , White House counsel Lloyd Cutler made it clear that the committee, which oversees U.S. participation in the games, is being relied on to abide by President Carter's decision. In Bonn, West Germany, chief State Department spokesman Hodding Carter announced the final decision as the deadline arrived for the Soviet U nion to pull its troops out of Afghanistan. "The United States set a deadline for its decision on whether to participate, a decision to be contingent on the withdrawal of Soviet troops," said Carter, accompanying Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance on a tour of European capitals. "Today is the day on which that decision was going to be based. It is clear there is no sign of a Soviet withdrawal. The president , has made clear that our decision is therefore irrevocable. We will not participate in the Olympics in Moscow," the spokesman said. In Washington, State Department spokesman Thomas Reston said the boycott decision is "firm and unalterable." He said, "It is a position which is shared by more than 50 governments throughout the world and which will be reflected, we are convinced, by the nonparticipation by at least that number of national Olympic teams in Moscow." See OLYMPIC on page 2 By JIM HUMMEL Staff Writer ' UNC General Administration officials are juggling their schedules in an attempt to plan the University's budget and prepare for a court case simultaneously. The adjustment comes following U. S. Administrative Law Judge Lewis Parker's denial for a delay in a trial involving UNC and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare over desegregation. The trial date is set for May 19. "Although we have invested a lot in the (HEW) case, our budget takes top priority," UNC President William Friday said Wednesday. "It won't be easy, but we'll just have to do two things at once." The budget, which was adopted for the biennium 1979-1981, allows for increases in faculty salaries and modest adjustments in energy funding. In addition to preparing the budget changes for the N. C. General Assembly's short session in June, Friday said his staff is starting to make budget preparations for the biennium 1981-1983. Because the HEW dispute has dragged on, with the stakes continuing to increase, some UNC officials have had to devote their attention to the case, leaving them less time to concentrate on University matters. Both UNC and HEW already have spent large amounts of money on the case. University officials estimate the price tag on their end has reached $500,000, with no end in sight. "I expect us to spend at least that amount before this case finally draws to a close," Friday said. "Right now our lawyers are handling most of the work, but I'm still devoting 10 to 15 percent of my time to the matter." At stake in the battle is $90 million in federal aid the University receives annually. When HEW threatened to stop payments last year, the University went to court in an attempt to avert the cutoff. The Washington-based law firm of Charles Morgan was hired and is in the process of taking depositions from 80 prospective witnesses. Morgan works at a fee of $175 per hour. "I wish I could tell you we have a secret strategy that is going to make HEW come begging to us on their knees for our forgiveness," said Senior Deputy Attorney General Andrew Vanore, who is working with Morgan on the case. "The fact is we just keep plugging away getting ready for (the hearing in) May." Vanore said depositions already have been taken from approximately 10 of the 80 witnesses, with an average of five per week being processed. He handles most of the witnesses from North Carolina, while Morgan interview! witnesses from around the country in Washington.

Its large amount of foot traffic and ttudent patronage has made it one of the town's most sought-after locations, particularly for small businesses. The result is fierce competition for leased space downtown and accompanying high rental on Franklin Street buildings. But most merchants interviewed recently said a Franklin Street location is well worth the higher price. "Considering the volume of business c do, the rent is reasonable," said Peter Siomianyj, manager of Subway sandwich shop. "It is the bet location in town." Ed Tenney, a local rcaltor.cstimated that monthly rent on Franklin Street ranges from $8.50 to $10.50 per square foot, higher than elsewhere in town. "Prices arc generally higher on f ranklin Street because few spaces are available," he said. Walt Baum of Baum Realty Co. said that long term leases usually enjoy more favorable rent, but he added, "Some people charge more rent, and they get it." Tenney said that a lack of undeveloped, commercially zoned land in the area ha contributed in part to the high cost of existing property. But Steve Sicmore of the Chapel Hill Planning Department disagreed. "Most commercially zoned land i currently underutilized," he said. "For example, look at Rosemary Street. It consists mainly of old houses and few new buildings." Much of Rosemary Street i zoned commercial. Besides high rent and competition from otl.er merchants, the prospective Franklin Street merchant faces stringent town control over vkho and hat can operate on the main thoroughfare. Siemorc said that the Chapel Hill Town Council encourages a gradual commerical development policy that calls for regulation of design, appearance and height of new buildings in the downtown area. According to the town's Comprehensive Plan, wht h outlines town development, such measure are intended to"preservc Chapel Hill's pccul qualities" and "improve ae-thctics " The plan encourage residential use ot tunentlv Seo BUSINESS on page 2
