At a meeting of the Media Board Monday, however, Ohler said that further problems with Hunter had arisen because of the Feb. 26 article. She said the Yack had contacted Southern Graphics , about making corrections in the color slide for the dust cover, and that she had called J.B. Edwards, public relations director and assistant vice president for Hunter, on Feb. 29. "I presented that (the dust jacket proposal) to him (Edwards) and he said that he couldn't release the slide to me.because of the article that had appeared in the DTHr Ohler said. said the company's objections were primarily to inJormation in the article, which reviewed j Ohler ft (Pi- ? that he was trying to settle differences with attorneys for Hunter Publishing Co. of Winston-Salem, publishers of the yearbook. - "All I can say at this point is that we are negotiating, but I feel we may have difficulty, because of a misleading article which appeared in The Daily Tar Heel, in settling the matter short of litigation," Vanore said. The attorney also said he doubted that the books would arrive today. The Feb. 26 article, which concerned a settlement of differences between the Yack staff and the publishers, incorrectly stated that Hunter had offered $1,250 to have the book printed by another company. The offer covered only the cost of printing tne yearbook s dust cover. Following the appearance of two retractions in the DTH, Chrisann Ohler, editor of the 1979 Yack, wrote a letter to the DTH editor which stated that the compromise, reached at a Jan. 21 meeting of the UNC Media Board, had three major provisions, which were: That Hunter would print the dust jacket at no charge to the Yack or would pay to have the jacket printed by another company.

See YACK on page 2 B 1 i No simile-sharing for 7 hours By PAT FLANNERY Staff Writer An underground telephone cable carrying 90 percent of Chapel Hill's long-distance circuits was severed Monday, leaving the town with virtually no long-distance telephone service for more than seven hours. The cable, which contains 1,000 of Southern Bell Telephone Co.'s long-distance circuits, was cut by a bulldozer trying to free itself from a muddy site on U.S. Highway 15-501 near South Square Mall in Durham. After appproximately 2:30 p.m., almost all of the long distance lines in both Chapel Hill and Carrboro were dead. No one could make long-distance calls into or out of either town. Southern Bell was able to restore almost all of the disrupted service by 10 p.m. "We really couldn't say it was anybody's fault," said Ladd Baucom, Southern Bell public relations manager. "However, we do know that it (the bulldozer) was on our right-of-way." Baucom said approximately 10 percent of the town's telephone services is carried on a separate line which goes towards Greensboro along Jones Ferry Road. Those with service along that line were not affected, he said. "We have cables cut from time to time, but nothing of this magnitude," M.W. Carson, Southern Bell district manager, said. Carson said that the cable, which was severed in two places, required 4,000 separate wire splices in order to restore it to its original condition. The break not onjy interrupted regular long-distance service, but also disrupted the county-wide 911 telephone emergency system, and news wire services used by local newspapers. Police and fire department spokesman said that the phone problem probably would not affect them since both have their own communications networks and could use them to reach public safety departments outside the local area. "All of our calls go by radio communication," said Capt. Bobby Pendergraph of the Chapel Hill Fire Department. "Even inter-city communications go by radio." N.C.

The committee still is considering several persons for the position, although it has already narrowed the field somewhat, said Greene, who also is acting chairman of the curriculums of African and Afro-American Studies and an English department associate professor. Only four names of those being considered for the job are known. One applicant, Oakland University Professor Colin A. Palmer, spoke here Monday. University of Milwaukee Professor Walter C. Farrell has "been invited and will speak here Friday. Sheila Walker and Albert Raboteau, both professors at the University of California at Berkley, are also being considered for the appointment, but Greene would not verify that they would speak here. He set no definite date for the appointment, but he said the selection process was proceeding as planned. Greene said he had sent a letter to the BSM in October requesting its views, but he did not receive any response from the members. Because the group did nci submit any nominations or requests, Greene said he assumed there was enough student participation in the process. Nina Ford, a senior Afro-American Studies major, who is student representative on the committee, agreed with Greene and said the lack of student response could have been due to an increased amount of confidence in the faculty on the committee. 17 t. fasti Colin Palmer "1 think we have not taken advantage of the opportunity," Ford said. "The faculty has reached out, but the students have not responded." Members of the BSM however, said they believed there could have been more student input in the search for the candidates, although they did not see any problems yet. Stella Jones, off-campus coordinator for the group, said, "I feel that black students should have had more See AFRO on page 2 Cohey would fight MEW First degree murder By ANGIE DORMAN Staff Writer The federal government has become too large and does not have any right to interfere with the 16-campus UNC system, UNC Athletic Director William Cobey said in an interview Monday. "There needs to be some national rules and regulations because our government has gone too far," said Cobey, who will resign his post in April to run for lieutenant governor on the Republican ticket. A 10-year desegregation dispute between UNC and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare has become Cobey's chief reason for entering the lieutenant governor's race against democrats Jimmy Green and Carl Stewart. "1 felt my ability to combat HEW's attempted manipulations of North Carolina's university system was limited in my position as athletic director," Cobey said. "1 decided to seek an office where 1 could more effectively channel my talents and energies into the fight against big government and its encroachment on our state's universities." Cobey said HEW is penalizing the UNC system for being honest concerning the desegregation dispute. "The UNC administration is telling the J Grove indicted by jury "11 See COBEY on page 2 Bill Cobey Beach Boys head Chapel Thrill concert By LYNN CASEY Staff Writer The Beach Boys, the Atlanta Rhythm Section and Bonnie Ftaitt will be the lineup for the Chapel Thrill concert April 19, Richard Terrell, chairman of the Chapel Thrill '80 committee, said Monday. The two bands and Raitt verbally have agreed to play at the Saturday afternoon concert in Kenan Stadium. Student Government should sign contracts with the groups in the next few days, Terrell said. The Beach Boys have agreed to play for $50,000 and 90 percent of the ticket sales, excluding $144,000 reserved for Student Government. The Beach Boys also will receive an extra $10,000 to pay for their stage and lighting effects, Terrell said. The Atlanta Rhythm Section will be paid $20,000 and Bonnie Raitt will receive $10,000, he said. Terrell said the committee is expecting ticket prices to be approximately $6 for students and $10 for non-students. "The cost of tickets and the date tickets go on sale are tentative but should be decided by Friday," he said. Last year, the Springfest concert sponsored by Student Government featured Jimmy Buffett, the Spinners and Nantucket. The bands were paid approximately $73,000. Additional expenses for this year's concert will include security, maintenance and publicity costs. The committee has agreed to a $10,000 contract with Beach Club Promotions, which will handle radio and print media publicity, Terrell said. The tentative time for the concert is 1:30 p.m., and the groups will play approximately 90 minutes each, Terrell said. "We definitely want to get through before dark for security reasons," Terrell said. "No kegs or glass containers will be allowed in the stadium," he said. Terrell said a decision had not been made on whether to allow coolers, but he said University police do not favor permitting coolers in the Stadium. Terrell said he thought this year's lineup will be better than last year's and will attract a larger crowd. "1 think this year's talent will have a stronger appeal than last year's." Terrell said. If it rains, the bands will play in the rain, he said. There is no rain date. By PAT FLANNERY Staff W riter An Orange County grand jury Monday handed down a first-degree murder indictment against Robert H. Grove Jr. of Roxboro, who has been charged in connection with the Feb. 3 shooting death of University student Jerry Keith Hodge. The grand jury issued the indictment after hearing evidence presented by Assistant District Attorney Carl Fox. "Arraignment comes next, in which the defendant pleads guilty or not guilty," Fox said. Grove, 24, has been charged in the Feb. 3 slaying of Hodge, a 22-year-old UNC senior. In a preliminary hearing March 4, Grove's attorney, Mark Galloway of Roxboro. argued that Grove should not be tried on first-degree murder charges. Galloway said there was no evidence of premeditation. But the grand jury reached its decision after hearing testimony from police officers. "We just used police witnesses, but didn't use any civilian witnesses," Fox said. "The state put up evidence to show the crime (had) been committed, and that that person did it." Grove is expected to enter his plea April 8. He is free on a $50,000 bond. The case is expected to come to trial in May or June. The Draft State legislators continue support of registration plan By SEAN DYER Staff W riter President Carter's draft registration plan ran into trouble last week when a House Appropriations sub committee refused to fund the president's proposal, but support for registration is still strong among several of North Carolina's congressmen. "We want to make it plain that registration is not a resumption of the draft, but merely will help us in case of an emergency," said Gibson Prather, an aide to Sen. Robert Morgan. D-N.C. Morgan, who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, has been a longtime supporter of draft registration. Morgan has argued that registration would save, valuable time if a sudden draft were necessary. The White House estimates that one to three months of preparation could be saved if registration were implemented now, but a recent Selective Service report put the figure at about a week. Rep. L.H. Fountain of the local 2nd Congressional District also favors draft registration, but like many other congressmen docs not feel women should be included. Fountain, however, said women should be used in the military on a voluntary basis. The possibility of draft resumption also has raised questions about who will be given deferments. President Carter, changing the policy of past administrations, said he would oppose deferments for college students. "The poor kids go to war and the rich go to college." a White House official said in a recent telephone interview. "In 1975 Congress decided in favor of stopping college deferments in the event of a draft, and President Carter supported this in his (1976) campaign." But what Carter and Congress have said, and w hat the actual policy w ill be if there is a resumption of the draft are two different things. UNC political science Professor Joel Schwartz said recently. As an active member of the ami-war movement during the 1960s. Schwartz said the political pressure exerted from college campuses would have a strong effect on the final decision ofw nether to draft colkgc students. "Do you see demonstrations bv laetorv worker or dropoutsT he said. " I he political pressure w ill come from the colleges." Schwartz said it is difficult to evaluate the impact college deferments had on campuses around the saui country during the Vietnam War, but composition of the student body changed very little at the time. A student wanting to attend a competitive school like UNC had to decide early in his academic career, he said. He did not come to UNCjuvt to avoid war. "The Kent State killings in the spring of 1970 galvanized student unrest here." Schwartz said. T he idea of vehement student action on campu prior to Kent State was merely a mvth. "There Was not a lot of residence to the war before Kent State. There ai some card burning, but it wa relatively small in relation to the rest of the country." The war and the draft presented a moral dilemma for faculty member as well ai tudents because a profesior knew if he flunked students out. they were likely to be drafted, he aal Schwartz said in the Chapel Hill area the anti-war movement was more a product of the community and the faculty than the student. But the Cambodia and Kent State incidents in 1970 bunched a new wave of demonstration protevting the war effort. See DRAFT on page 2
