Consultations aimed
at' keeping Gulf open
The Assoclilei Frtss
President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that en
interruption of the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf
would create a serious threat end that the United
States was consulting other nations about ways to
keep oil supplies from being halted by the war,
between Iran and Iraq.
Carter, in a brief erraorer.ee before reporters at
the White House, said the consultations were aimed
at ensuring that the strategic Strait of Hcrmuz .
remained open. Much of the world's oil is shipped
through the strait.
"Freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf is of
primary importance to the whole international
community," " Carter said. "It is imperative that
there be no infringement of that freedom of passage
of ships to and from the Persian Gulf region."
. But the president repeated his asrarar.ee thet the
, Umtwdl Slates vjis t,t-z.j ?. ' Out C I t-
between Iran and Iraq and cautier.wd chcr nations
to do the same.
Meanwhile, Iraqi armor and infantry pushed
deeper into Iran Wednesday, daimir.3 the capture
of three more towns and driving hard-pressed
Iranian troops away from the border. The two
Moslem countries urged their people to fi-ht on in
the holy war. v
Flights of American-made Iranian fighter
" bombers and flotillas of gunboats attacked Iraqi oil
installations for the third day. Officials in Tehran
said far-rangir.s Iraqi warplones had attacked Iran's
giant Kharg Island oil terminal.
The Persian Gulf oil shipment facilities of both
nations were reported shut down.
In Washington, Secretary of State Edumund
Muskie also revealed that the administration was
planning strategy to keep oil flowing from the
Persian Gulf. He stressed that current U.S. policy
was to promote a cease-fire through the United
Nations.
Muskie said the first priority was to seek
implementation of an appeal issued by the Security
Council urging Iran and Iraq to cease fighting.
Muskie said he would urge Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko to recommend that the
Kremlin use its influence in support of the Security
Council's eppeal.
State Department officials announced
Wednesday that 130 Americans had fled the Basra
area of Iraq to neighboring Kuwait to escape
Iranian air attacks, while an additional 35 were
being evacuated from Baghdad as a precautionary
measure.
Department spokesman Jack Cann6n also said
the United States had sent a private message to
Iranian President Abelhaesan Bani-Sadr giving
explicit assurances that the United States would
remain neutral in the conflict between Iran and
Iraq.
i
Tyler had set high bonds for the 16, and he said he did not
think rhany of those arrested would be able to post bail. Bonds
for the 16 ranged from $300 to $75,000.
Callahan said warrants were outstanding for two additional
suspects, one from the Chapel Hill area and one from out of
state.
Police and state officials confiscated LSD, cocaine,
methaqualone, methamphetamine, marijuana and hashish
during the arrests. Many of the people arrested were charged
with intent to sell in addition to possession.
Charles Edward Ellis Jr., a UNC junior from. Blowing
Rock, charged with possession of methamphetamine, was
released on bail Wednesday when his bond was reduced from
$55,000 to $30,000. Ellis is the production r for
WXYC, UNC's student radio station and also is employed by
WCHL, a Chapel Hill radio station.
Also released on bail were Shirley Ann Tharp, 32, of
Pittsboro, charged with possession and sale of cocaine and
with possession of marijuana; and Clifton Lee Sherman, 25,
of Hurdle Mills, charged with the possession and sale of
1
cocaine. Tharp is a clerk at the Looking
Glass Cafe, and Sherman is a - self
employed flight instructor.
. Some of those arrested are expected to
make their first appearance before-a
judge this morning in N.C. District
Court.in Chapel Hill.
Stone said the investigation
concentrated on the possession and sale
of harder drugs. "We just scratched the
surface of the hard drugs," Stone said.
"It just shows what's in this
Some of the people arrested Wednesday had sold drugs to
undercover agents, Callahan said, but SBI Director Haywood
Starling refused to elaborate on the investigation.
"At this point I don't think it would be appropriate to
comment on what is happening right now," Starling said.
"The case is still going on and talking about it might
jeopardize the operation."
Mark Sternlicht, student attorney for UNC Student Legal
Services, said he received a call Wedaeeday rr.crr.irg from a
student who had been arrested and was seeking legal advice.
"Some people were being charged for things they did in
June," Sternlicht said. "Obviously any undercover operation
has to be around for a while; you juet can't come in and make
arrests."
In addition to Ellis, other University students arrested were:
Elizabeth Anne Cave, 20, of 434 S. Greensboro St.,
Carrboro, charged with the sale and possession of
methaqualone and cocaine. Bond was set at $23,000.

Scott Residence College residents vote today to decide
whether to allow the Educational Foundation to use the
approximately 130 parking spaces adjacent to Teague
and Parker residence halls.
The residence college, which includes Avery, Teague,
Parker and Whitehead residence halls, will vote on a
proposal from the Educational Foundation which would
allow the foundation to use the parking spaces on
Saturdays during home football games.
The Educational Foundation is an organization that
works to secure athletic scholarships and funds capital
improvements for University athletic activities. It has
asked for the spaces in order to attract alumni to the
campus and encourage them to donate to the program.
The foundation proposal includes a provision for
exchanging the spaces for an equal amount of parking on
Navy Field for Scott College residents during the games.
Scott College residents were approached about the
parking substitution several weeks ago by UNC Associate
Athletic Director Moyer Smith. Smith offered the
residents approximately 75 parking spaces on Navy Field
to compensate for the use of the spaces immediately in
front of Parker and Teague residence halls.
The Scott College Executive Council turned down the
offer because it did not believe it would be adequately
compenrited for the approximately 130 spaces lost.
Mitch Cox, Scott College governor, said residents took
the prob'em to the UNC administration because they
were not sure they were being treated fairly by the UNC
Athletic Department.
The Educational Foundation withdrew its proposal last
week and egread to deal with the area later about next
year's football parking.
Tuesday, Smith asked the area to reconsider the
proposal and offered to trade parking spaces on Navy
Field on a one-to-one basis with those taken from the
Teegue-Parkcr area.
UNC Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Donald
Boulton attended the council meeting as a representative

Partially because the University
Traffic and Parking Office has a
backlog of 2,650 parking appeals,
University officials said Tuesday the
appeals system should be examined and
possibly revised.
"The appeals process is somewhat
'disturbing on what has been happening Li"
the past," Security Services Director
Robert E. Sherman said. "I have the
intention of "looking into the whole
process to try to alleviate the problem."
Sherman said approximately 850
appeals remain from last year, dating
back to mid-April. Approximately 1 ,800
from July 1 still have not been
processed.
Under the current system, students
may appeal traffic tickets to the appeals
office in person or by mail. Appeals
must be made within 15 days of the day
a ticket was issued. The appeals officer
reviews each student's case and then
sends him a letter either granting or
denying his appeal. If a student who is
denied an appeal does pay his fine, it is
charged to his student account and must
be paid before registration the next
semester.
The appeal's office currently has only
one appeal's officer. Jane Riley, who
has to review all appeals, said with no
interruptions she can process about 100
written appeals a day. She has seen as
many as CO people in person a day, but
the dally average is 20 persons a day.
Because each appeal must be
reviewed, in the past some students have
graduated before their appeals were
processed. Even though they graduated,
they are mailed letters with the results of
their appeals. If tickets are not paid, the
matter is referred to a collection agency.
Sherman said he believed the office
received an excessive number of appeals
that had no grounds, and they were
partly responsible for the problem.
"While I'm in favor of people who
feel wrcred appealing (a ticket), if you
know you were wrong, you should face
the consequences and pay the fine,"
Sherman seid.
"I cfurt overhear 'I only ran in
for 2 minutes' and I immediately
envision .vultures .cn ,t:':;l;cne pc!:s.
waiting ior-a parking violation and then
issuing the ticket; that's an efficient
business, and I don't think this one is
that efficient," he said.
Sherman said he thought strict
enforcement of the 15-day appeal period
would alleviate some of the problem.
"People ignore the 15-day procedure
and wait until it goes cn their student
account and then they appeal it,"
Sherman said. "People that put it off
may lose the right originally given to
them."
Adding members to the staff at the
appeals office could also help, Sherman
said. He is also looking into the
possibility of a computer system to keep
records and reduce paper work.
"We want to get last year's (parking
appeals) out of the way," Sherman said.
"When you have that many coming in
and a person files an eppeeJ in April, I
hope we can be up to date so within a
couple of weeks we should have a
response (for him)."
Vice Chancellor of Business and
Finance John Temple agreed that some
changes might have to be made.
"Based cn what I know, cither I may
have to add additional peep!: cn staffer
tighten the rules," Temple said. "I
understand we are waiving a good
number of appeals and we have a 15-day
time limit which has not been
enforced."
Temple sail he would have the final
decieion cn a.y rev-Liens.
