Lebanon seen a key to peaee
By CHUCK BURNS
SttfT Writer
The possibility for peace in the Middle East may
hinge upon settling the conflict in Lebanon between
Christian rightists and Moslem militia, according to two
speakers of a discussion on "The Lebanese Civil War in
Perspective" Monday at UNC.
Nafhat Nasr, professor of International Relations at
the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, said Israel
could use the Lebanese conflict to destroy the peace
agreements with Egypt.
"Israel wants through its intervention in the Lebanese
civil war to develop and maintain a process to disrupt the
Camp David accords- if necessary," he said.
"Israel had always wanted to find a loophole to
intervene in Lebanon, but before the civil war found it
extremely difficult to do so," he said.
He also said the breakdown in Lebanon reinforces the
Israeli claim that minority states are the rule rather than
the exception in. that region of the world.
Former ambassador William Dale spoke about the
position and attitudes toward Lebanon. He said the
United- States always has supported the Lebanese
government.
Dale said U.S. policy towards Lebanon did not
change because of the influx of Palestinians into that
country after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, or because of
the 1975 revolution. He added, however, that reforms
are needed to reflect the changes in population between
Christians and Moslems in order to avoid further
conflict.
Nasr also cited the influx of Palestinians and the
revival of Islam as factors causing conflict between
Christians and Moslems.
"The Arabs suddenly developed a feeling of
influencc.and the Christians became fearful of their
future. Then they began to think in terms of partitioning
the country."
Dale said the United States would do everything
possible to maintain the territorial integrity of Lebanon.
He said one of the reasons the State Department was

accepting a Syrian peacekeeping force in Lebanon was
to keep the country from splitting into Christian and
Moslem factions.
Oil
well contained after nine-month effort
MEXICO CITY (AP) After a nine
month effort, engineers finally capped an
oil well in the Gulf of Mexico that had
fouled beaches in southern Texas,
Mexican officials said Monday.
A spokesman for Pemex, the
government petroleum monopoly, said
engineers plugged Ixtoc I, the runaway
oil well 50 miles offshore, that had
spewed more than 3. 1 million barrels of
crude oil since blowing up June 3 the
most oil in a spill in history.
Initially, Ixtoc I spewed 30,000 barrels
of oil and billows of natural gas a day.
About half of it was burned off, but the
rest spread out despite efforts to collect
it with flotation collars and much of it
reached beaches in southern Texas.
The flow was reduced to negligible
amounts March 18 by pumping sea
water, mud and thickening substances
through two directional wells drilled over
a period of months. Capping operations
started last Friday.
The Pemex spokesman said a third and
final cement plug was placed into the well
shortly before midnight Sunday .
"Thus ended the life of the test well that
permitted discovery of one of the richest
offshore oil deposits," said a statement
read by the Pemex spokesman.
Ixtoc I exploded and went out of
control at a depth of 6,207 feet below the
seabed, uncovering a deposit in the Bay of
Campeche that Pemex estimated
contains at least 800 million barrels of
crude oil.

hundred feet, cracking the floor under
which lay huge quantities of oil and gas,
and setting off the explosion and fire that
wrecked a $22 million drilling platform
under rental by Pemex from a Texas
company. The 64 men on the offshore
platform at the time were evacuated
unharmed.
Four months liter, engineers managed
to reduce the flow by approximately half,
pumping in canvas plugs and tennis-size
lead and steel balls at high pressure, while
two platforms ' nearby started drilling
"relief" wells to intercept the rogue well at
the base. ; '-" '
A further effort to cap the well by
lowering a huge steelTunnel to collect the
flow at the wellhead failed, mostly
because of the debris and twisted steel
Sou
lying along the bottom of the ocean.
Meanwhile, an explosion and fire
seared an offshore drilling platform in the
Gulf of Mexico early Monday, killing
two men, injuring 29 and leaving four
persons missing, officials said.
The rig, drilling a gas well about 100
miles off the upper Texas coast, erupted
into flames in the pre-dawn hours,
sending men in the crew of 4 1 scurrying
for safety. Only six escaped injury.
The Coast Guard in Galveston, Texas,
said a fixed wing aircraft, a helicopter and
the cutter Point Monroe were searching
for the missing crewmen.
Wild well fighter Red Adair put a crew
on a nearby rig to assess the damage and
determine how best to put out the raging
fire.

and that the HUD funds were needed to pay
off the debts. "HUD guaranteed the loan," he
said.
Of the more than $29 million which Soul
City has received, McKissick and Diehl said
most of the money was not used for the
community, but spent for projects in the
surrounding area. "Very few of those funds
came to the Soul City Co.," McKissick said.
He said much of the aid was spent on a regional
water system that now serves three counties.
"When we came in here, this region was dying
from a lack of water," McKissick said.

Helping you say it right
McKissick also said until recently. Soul City
had never defaulted on any of its loans, as
other projects around the country had. He said
that by not defaulting on loans until federal aid
was cut demonstrated Soul City's ability to
meet its financial obligations if given federal
support.
According to HUD officials. Soul City has
little to show for its seven year existence.
McKissick said there are still fewer than 200
people living at the development and that
construction has not been rapid. In addition to
Soultech I, the administrative building, there
are tennis courts and a swimming pool, but
Shaughnessy said such facilities were
deceptive. "I thought the swimming pool was
frivolous at first, but then one has got to realize
that it is the only one in three counties," he
said.
McKissick said he was confident about the
future growth of Soul City, and said growth
will resume as soon as the disputes with HUD
are cleared up.
"The project will continue, though maybe
not in the same way." he said. "People are still
here. They have not lost faith. This is a
successful project, no matter what anybody
says."
For the record
In a March 24 article, the DTH
incorrectly reported that Student Legal
Services cannot handle cases involving
more than $800 and will take no cases
dealing with personal injury and
consumer interests. Student Legal
Services does handle consumer cases
involving less than $800, and landlord
tenant cases more than that amount. The
article quoted Dorothy Bernholz as
saying lawyers often accept students'
personal injury cases free of charge, when
it should have read that some attorneys
accept these cases on a contingent fee
basis. The DTH regrets the errors.
The DTH incorrectly reported Friday
that the new WXYC station manager,
Glenn Mitchell, was chosen by the Media
Board. He was chosen by members of
Student Educational Broadcasting, Inc.
The DTH regrets the error.

Condominium decision prompts suit
Graham Court Associates of Charlotte has filed suit against the town of
Chapel Hill challenging the Chapel Hill Town Council's February decision
denying a request to convert Graham Court Apartments to condominiums.
The suit was filed last week in Orange County Superior Court. The town has
not answered the suit. The council was expected to discuss the Graham Court
lawsuit and other suits pending against the town in executive session Monday
night.
In February, the Town Council refused to grant a special use permit to
Graham Court Associates, who planned to convert their 24 apartment units on
McCauley Street to condominiums. Council members said they denied the
request to protect the rental housing supply in Chapel Hill.
Poll shows low opinion of Carter plan
NEW YORK (AP) Americans have a low opinion of President Carter's
new anti-inflation program, judging that he is not doing all he can to cure the
nation's economic ills, a new poll says.
The public, convinced inflation will continue for years to come, agree with
Carter on cutting back on credit card use, but they oppose his oil import fee that
will raise the price of gasoline.
Nevertheless, they do not blame Carter for inflation as they wonder just how
much any president can do to fight the wage-price spiral.
Twenty-eight percent of those interviewed Thursday and Friday said Carter's
new anti-inflation program will be at least moderately successful in curbing
inflation. But 35 percent said it will not be successful.
Tape causes embarrassment for Carter
WASHINGTON (AP) If the Republicans needed any help in lampooning
President Carter, they could have gotten it last weekend from none other than
Democratic Party headquarters.
Callers who dialed a certain telephone number at the Democratic National
Committee heard a recorded spoof of the president, complete with background
banjo music, taped excerpts from Carter speeches and at least one raw expletive
from a country-rock star at a Carter concert.
Embarrassed Democrats said the message, entitled "Quest for the Presidency
1976," was all a terrible mistake.
It was a party tape, they said, and was being used in a live test of telephone
equipment for a dial-in message service at the Democratic National
Convention in New York next August.

items. There's a very baste line of merchandise,
though we can change our designs."
The success of the sports teams usually
determines what new designs and stock the.
store will order.
This method usually proves to be an
effective one. though in some cases what is
anticipated and what actually happens are
quite different.
"When we were up against Marquette for
the NCAA championship, we ordered shirts,
bumper stickers, and 2.500 posters," Freed
said. "State made 5 1 50,000 to $200,000 when
they won before, and we anticipated the same
amount of sales."
When UNC lost that game, the "number
one" had to be eliminated from the designs for
the posters and bumper stickers. "Five
thousand shirts were canceled," Freed said.
With its present stock of Carolina items
from baby bottles to pendants the store
attracts both UNC students and visitors. To
attract an even greater clientele, the Student
Stores should perhaps consider selling UNC
diplomas. Now that would be a money-maker.

students would be better than now," said Gary
Bowers, a senior accounting major.
Rankin Harris, a University Placement
Center counselor, attributes the growth of
business majors to students beliefs that a
degree in business makes them more
marketable.
If business school officials decide not to
reduce the number of students enrolled in the
school, they could also bring down the faculty
student ratio by reducing the number of hours
a student is required to have to major in
business and or the number of courses a
student is allowed to take in business. Evans
said.
The easiest solution to the problem would be
to allow the business school to hire more
faculty. Elvers said. But that would only be
aid
possible if budgeted enrollment for the school
was increased or some UNC faculty members
resigned or retired. Elvers said.
However, projections from the provo&t's
office indicate only a very slight increase in
budgeted enrollment through I982. and since
the business school received four new faculty
positions last year, its chances of getting any
more faculty members arc slim.
Other possible directions the school could
take would be to raise admission standards or
offer more courses that arc exclusively for non
majors. Elvers ud.
"A high student-faculty ratio is a
burdensome problem for both student and
faculty," Elvers said, "and we are exploring
every measure available to correct the
situation."

employment to the control of the student aid
office.
Complicating the report's data even more is
the inclusion of private donations over which
the student aid office has no control. For
example, the report contains statistics on
awards made by the Morchead Foundation,
which in 1978-79 gave scholarships to 39 men
and 22 women.
The selection process for M ore head scholars
which Mebane Pritchett, executive director of
the foundation, outlined Monday shows the
difficulty in identifying reasons for the
disparity in financial aid between men and
women at UNC. After individual high schools
make recommendations. Pritchett said,
candidates are reviewed by county, district and
central selection committees before awards are
made.
And because the foundation is private and
does not receive funds from the federal
government, it is not subject to affirmative
action guidelines which direct that
discrimination on the basis of sex is illegal.
Pritchett said the foundation constantly is
trying to improve its program and the truntees
will take into account recommendations made
by the Committee on the Status of Women.
It is ironic that a controversy exists because
both Geer and members of the Committee on
the Status of Women seem to want the same
thing an equitable distribution of student
financial aid. Both parties have expressed fear
that qualified women may be discouraged
from applying to UNC. Ciecr says the report's
implication of a discriminatory student aid
office will deter applicants; committee
members say an unnecessary controversy will
do the same.
