By SCOTT PETERSON Staff Writer The bulletin board on the wall of Bob Savod's office speaks for itself. It is covered with promotional material that has helped vault University of North Carolina football into one of the most successful programs in the South. . --. ;M,...rM ; : . Two words, printed on every pamphlet on the board, are familiar to Tar Heel football fans throughout the state and country: "Carolina Fever" has become contagious. Savod, UNC's assistant athletic director for promotions, is the creator of the Carolina Fever media campaign which has helped make Kenan Stadium a sell out for every UNC home game since the Tar Heels' 1977 opener against Richmond. Since coming to Carolina in 1975, Savod has used mailers, newspaper and magazine advertisements, radio and television spots and other effective means of spreading the disease that boasts, "There is no cure once the last seat is sold." "The use of two themes has been a significant factor in the campaign," said Savod, a transplanted Brooklynite. "We've attempted to sell out every home game using the "Carolina Fever" and "There's No Cure - Once The Last Seat Is Sold" themes. I think , "this is a significant factor in people buying tickets early. . "We would not be successful in selling tickets the day of the game because of our geographical location. People's impulses are not aroused at six in the morning if they have to drive five hours to the game to buy a ticket. "We need to draw people from Wilmington, New Bern, Charlotte cities like that. I think this plan will effectively accomplish that," Savod said. Prior to 1976, Carolina averaged only one sell out per year. The average attendance per game was approximately 39,000 and season ticket sales prior to the start of the season were only 12,605. This season, ticket sales rose to a record 25,000 and if the trend over the past three years continues, several attendance records will be broken again during the 1980 season, v - Atypical "Carolina Fever? advertisement, like the following which ran in 1979 is designed to entice UNC fans to the stadium not only for the football game, but for the social event of the year.

Utilities Commission that, if approved, would push up telephone installation costs more than $15 and add almost $2 to monthly charges in Chapel Hill. The company asked for a 14 percent rate increase that would generate $63.2 million a year in revenue for the utility. Residence Hall Association President Pegy Leight and Student Body President Bob Saunders said Thursday that, if after studying the proposed increase, they found it was too large or unreasonable, they would make plans to protest it. Leight said she wanted to wait until she heard Southern Bell's reasons for the request before she formed an opinion on it. Representatives from the company are scheduled to meet with representatives from UNC next week to discuss the increase. The Residence- Hall Association and Student Government protested Southern Bell's last rate increase and presented 5,000 signatures on a petition . to the utilities commission last year. Southern Bell's request was denied, but later a request for 56 percent of the original amount was approved. If this new request is approved, it would mean a $40.10 installation fee for Chapel I&l residents, with a $5.35 credit for dorm residents who turn hi installation cards to their residence directors. The student fee then would be $34.75. The present installation fee is $18.20 for Chapel Hill residents and $15.20 for dorm residents who turn in cards. "It all comes down to that you pay for what you use," Southern Bell spokesman Ladd Baucom said. "I guess we've spoiled everybody by being very efficient, by being a protective-type service." A spokesman for the N.C. Utilities Commission said the request would not be decided upon until public hearings are held. Alan Thomas, Southern Bell's vice-president in charge of North Carolina operations, cited inflation and increased demand for service as the major reasons for the request, "In spite of our aggressive effort to moderate these effects, inflation and increased demand, we have been unable to achieve even the authorized level of earnings established last February when the commission granted a 5.7 percent increase in our revenues," he said. Sea BELL on page 5 Lone gunman JPimie IRoom is 'Fobbed Dy LINDA EltOWN Staff Writer and LINDSAY GOFOHTII Almost $3,000 was taken from the Pine Room Cafeteria Wednesday night after a man wearing a stocking mask pulled a handgun on the assistant manager and told him to open the cafeteria safe. University Police Patrolman Richard F. Hazel said the department had some leads on the suspect and an investigation was continuing. Pine Room assistant manager Jim Vann described the robber as a very stocky black man, 23 or 24 years old and about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a round face. He entered the back door of the Pine ,.Rooni gbout 9:40 .WH ?-y n:ht.. . ... ... ... M'I was doing" thVpayrcll, and I heard 'the back door squeak," Vann said. "I got ip to see. I thought it might have been an employee returnig for some reason. I came out of the office, and he came charging after me." He said the robber looked like he might be a weight lifter, because he had broad shoulders. Vann said he was alone when the robber came in to the building. He had planned to stay late, because Tuesday was payroll day. The Pine Room closes at 7 p.m. "I suspect he knew I was there by myself. I don't know how," he said. But Vann added that he doesn't think the robber was anyone who works in the cafeteria. "He just told me to go into the office and open the safe," Vann said. "He said open the safe and hurry up with the combination. I told him it was hard to open and I was pretty nervous anyway, and he said 'you're not the only one and I told him I could understand it, in his situation; "I talked to him as much as I could," Vann said. "I thought if I started talking to him he might be more of a human being instead of hitting me over the head." After Vann took the money out of the safe, the robber put it in a blue water proof sack. He then brought Vann out of the office. "I told him that if he wanted to put me somewhere, there W2s a closet back there," Venn said. The closet was ; in the cafeteria's siorage room. The robber told Vann to go in the closet, then wrapped a clothes hanger around the door and put a padlock on it. "He said he had a partner," Vann said. "And if I came out of the closet before 15 minutes, if I had any family, I wouldn't live to see my friends and relatives again." Although Vann did wait at ieast 15 minutes, he said he didn't believe the man really had a partner, or if he did, he didn't think the partner would have been willing to wait 15 minutes. "I was pretty nervous," Vann said. And the fact that he was nervous didn't make me feel any better." JBewn cites resources Brobtem By SHARON KESTER and ROCIIELLE RILEY Staff Writers Although Dr. Raymond White Jr. said Wednesday he resigned as dean of the UNC School of Dentistry for personal reasons, he added later that resource problems in the school also prompted that decision. "1 feel I've accomplished all I can," he said. "I see deficiencies in the school that I had hoped would be corrected by this time." Those deficiencies include a lack of funds to renovate the school's facilities and to bring faculty salaries up to par with salaries at other major dental schools. Dental schools like those at the University of Michigan and the University of Iowa pay faculty members $3,000 to $5,000 more a year, he said. One of the school's most pressing needs is the renovation of the ground and first floors, which have not been redone since their construction in 1952, he said. A fourth year dental student agreed with that assessment and added that the ventilation system, dental chairs and student lounges also needed work. "And unless professors' salaries are commensurate with others, we are not going to attract the most qualified faculty and the students are'going to suffer," he said. Dr. Mitchell Wallace, president of the N.C. Dental Society in Raleigh, described White's resignation as "the beginning of the end of a source of pride for this state." He sharply criticized the UNC Board of Governors for failing to provide the necessary funds for improvements. "Dr. White is recognized in academic communities by dentists across the country as one of the foremost dental educators," he said. "It is very sad and a significant loss that a man of his caliber chose to leave the deanship." White had served as dean since 1974. While he headed the school, it was ' awarded full accreditation by the Commission of Dental Accreditation. "We have to face up to the fact that something is very wrong somewhere," Wallace said of the school. "Evidently priorities have dictated) the postponement year after year of needed renovations and faculty salary adjustments which were promised Dean White when he came to Chapel Hill over six years ago. "White's decision is understandable in the -light of these six years of disappointments," he said. James Turner, UNC vice chancellor of health affairs, explained that the Division of Health Affairs received no capital improvement funds for the current biennium, but that funds for an additional School of Public Health building will be the division's highest priority request when it prepares its budget for the 1931 session of the N.C. General Assembly. He also explained that though the 1920 General Assembly granted funds for increases in faculty salaries, they were not large enough to bring UNC Dental School salaries up to the level of ceirDtaMe to liiegiua 4- W'W- S. i . few.

His resignation becomes effective in June. JERUSALEM (AP) Prime Minister Menaehem Begin accepted an invitation Thursday from President Jimmy Carter for formal talks in Washington the week after the U.S. presidential elections. It was not known if the meeting is planned as a three-way summit with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who had called for a summit to get the stalled Palestinian autonomy talks rolling aain. The Carter invitation was extended when Begin telephoned Carter to congratulate him on the work of Sol Unowitz, U.S. special Mideast envoy, who arranged a resumption of the talks. Begin also placed a call to Sadat in Egypt, but it was not known if the two men discussed a summit. In Cairo, Linowitz met with top Egyptian officials and said the sessions covered groundwork for a p'anned three-way lummit to be held in November. There has been no official announcement yet from Washington that a Camp David-style summit was scheduled, and a White House spokesman said there was "a general conversation about the timing of a summit meeting, but no decisions at all were made." The summit appears to be part of a package Linowitz offered Sadat to persuade him to resume talks on autonomy for the 1.2 million Palestinian Arabs of the Israeli-occupied West Bonk and Gaza Strip. Sadat suspended the talks after Israel's Parliament passed a controversial law declaring undivided Jerusalem Israel's permanent capital. In Egypt, Foreign Minister Eutros Ghait said "contacts will start soon" but they "will be preparatory talks tr.d cannot be considered a resumption of See TALKS on pass 2 A Si iiH r2 Tl" i i ! ft jd iiliii ii II 11 Tl t ! i V.y ANN SMALLWGOD Surf Writrr Tl e Orange Wster and Sewer Authority Thursday announced an agreement with the U.
