According to two UNC speech
department professors, a . post-debate
Associated Press poll and a panel of
debate judges, Tuesday night's debate
between President Jimmy Carter and
Republican Ronald Reagan was a draw.
However, most experts said that if
they had to pick a winner in the
nationally televised battle, it would be
Reagan.
Seven debate judges who rated the
event gave Reagan a one-point win over
Carter, the final tally being 161-160.
Both candidates scored well, according
to the judges, three of whom favored
Reagan to two for Carter and two calling
the debate a draw.
In the AP poll, both candidates
picked up support and 46 percent of the
audience said Reagan did a better job,
compared to 34 percent for Carter. The
poll said much of that resulted from a
largely Reagan-supporting television
audience, however.
"If anyone did better in the debate, I
would bet Re2gan potentially gained
with the large undecided vote," said
James Pence of the UNC department of
speech communication. Although Pence
said he would personally give the win to
Reagan, he also said Carter did. not lose
any ground as a result of the debate.
Speech department Director of
Forensics William Balthrop agreed with
Pence's assessment. "It was an average
political debate. Reagan gained more, if
anybody, because he came across at least
as presidential and as qualified as
Carter," he said.
"It was a pretty careful and restrained
debate," Pence said. "In no sense was it
mudslinging. I didn't expect it or find it
to be interesting," he said. "There were
no fireworks."
Balthrop said the debate's restrained
tone resulted from the fact that both
opponents were face-to-face. "They
were much more restrained and
dignified than they have been on the
,. campaign." he said. . .
Style was more important than
substance in the debate. Pence and
Balthrop said. "There was the effort all
the way through by Reagan not to
appear strident. He had a more muted
attack for Carter," Pence said. He also
noted that Reagan's appearance made
him look older and more broad
shouldered than Carter, who Pence said
was smoother and younjer in physical
appearance. Carter was calmer and more
controlled than Reagan, who Balthrop
said appeared nervous and hesitant.

Iran's Parliament on Wednesday discussed the U.S.
hostages in secret for four hours and set a public session for
today that might lead to a vote on terms for the captives'
release. One deputy said new conditions have been decided
upon.
Sources close to the talks said that after a heated debate in
which several members of the Majlis, or Parliament, stalked
out, the members decided to hold an open session today and
vote on proposed conditions.
Majlis speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani announced the session
would be open, according to Tehran radio, quoting the Pars
news agency. But no mention was made of the vote.
Several members of the 228-seat Majlis expressed guarded
optimism over the possibility of a final decision being reached
today.
"The Majlis generally favored solving the issue in a way
acceptable to both parties," Hossein Ali Rahmani, a Kurdish
deputy known to be moderate on the hostage issue, told
reporters,
"I think there is a 70-percent likelihood of a decision
today," Rahmani said.
Iran's religious Chief Judge Sadegh Khalkali, also a deputy,
predicted the debate would end early today, according to a
Swedish radio broadcast. Khalkali was quoted f as saying
Tehran wants to trade the U.S. hostages for arms before the
U.S. elections Nov. 4.
Iran is believed to be sorely in need of spare parts for old
U.S. -made military equipment it is using in its war with Iraq.
"We want the hostages to be freed before the presidential
election in the United States next Tuesday," Khalkali was
quoted as saying.
When he arrived in Rochester, N.Y., for a campaign stop,
Halloween party
Teresa Smallwood, disguised as a gypsy, sends chills down the spines
of more than 70 children who attended the Halloween Carnival at the
Hargraves Center in Carrboro Tuesday'night. The carnival, sponsored by
the Theta Pi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., included this
haunted house.
Latin American studies
President Jimmy Carter was asked what his understanding of
Khalkali's statement was.
"I think it would be better for me net to comment until I sec
the exact statement on it," he said.
Deputy Hussein Hashemian was asked if the decision would
wait until after the elections and replied "we do not consider
the American elections" as a factor in resolving the hostage
crisis.
He and an official at the office cf Iran religious leader
Ayatoilah Ruholla Khomeini, reached by telephone from
Beirut, Lebanon, denied suggestions that the patriarch had
urged the deputies to refrain from a decision so as not to
influence the vote.
Asked if new conditions had been added, Hashemian said,
"Yes, but we will make them public later. The condition of
(Shah Mohammed Raza Pahlavi's) wealth remains," he said.
"We are debating on the apology." He predicted the talks
would take four to six days.
Khomeini has said the U.S. government should apologize
for its support of the late shah's regime. But in September,
when he set out in general terms Iran's demands, the apology
was omitted.
His demands included return of the shah's fortune, a pledge
of non-interference in Iran's affairs, withdrawal cf lawsuits
against Iran and release of Iranian assets frozen in U.S. banks.
Khomeini, who holds the greatest power in his country, has
charged the Majlis with responsibility for the hostages' fate.
Many deputies have suggested that additional terms may be
by reporters, said a
.tiens basically follow
added. But Rahmani, pressed
parliamentary committee's rccomm!
Khomeini's.
Some members suggested Iran be given three hours of U.S.
television network time to air its grie vanccs but this was not
greeted favorably, the deputy said.

UNC's Latin American studies curriculum was ranked first
In the cm ; ry in a nationwide study complied by a California
professor.
The Latin American Studies was the only program of its
kind in North Carolina to be ranked. Jack Gourman, the
California State University political science professor who
complied the report,, also ranked the UNC undergraduate
program 25th among what he called quality institutions in the
country. . . ' -'
"It is quite a distinction for the University," said Federico
Gil, Kenan professor of political science and director of the
UNC Institute of Latin American Studies. He said he first
heard about the honor from an article in the Durham Morning
Herald. The University has not received a copy of Gourman's
report yet.
Gourman said his results came from interviews,
questionnaires and private investigations. It was the third
edition of his report. The last one was in 1977.
"I think the fact that it has been chosen as number one,"
f said Gil, "has meant something, and often the students do not
'' know about these opportunities.".' ":" s '
He said students often used their background Latin
American studies field for careers in foreign services and
business. The curriculum now has 15 students.
The curriculum offers courses in areas including political
science, history, Spanish, Portuguese and anthropology. Most
of the courses are cross-listed.
History Professor Joseph Tulchin said the students in the
Latin American studies curriculum were extremely interested
and highly motivated. He attributed their interest to their
small number, which he said allowed instructors to know their
students.
The curriculum has 20 persons on its faculty. "We're

The Carolina Wren Press is not a typical publishing ,

' publisher. , '
The surburban home at 300 Barclay Road is also the
location of an unusual publishing firm that houses Hcgan,
her two children and a cat.
"It's what 1 like to call a cottage industry," she said
"There are just a few people involved." ! , : . 4 .
Although there are 12 people at the press a designer,
typesetter, accountant and a board of directors cf nine,
including Hogan. "I am the director, president and
editor," she said. ' .
The press was founded in by Hcgan who published
a poetry magazine that year. She began to publish bocks in
1976. Although the press' materials originally were printed
at the local Loom Press, they are now printed in Michigan
for economic reasons, Hcgan said.
One room in Hcgan's house in completely devoted to her
business. Larje shelves bulge with stacks of bocks ar.d
books cover tables, chairs and even part of the floor. "I
didn't exactly plan it this way," Hcgan said.
A Kansas native, Hcgan graduated from the University
of Oklahoma in 1957. l ive years, one marriage and a ch',!4
later, she returned to college. She ettended graduate school
at the Unlvenity of California at Berkley to study Greek
and Latin. "I was mere Interested in teaming," she said.
After moving to Ch:p:l Hill, Hcgan started a poetry
' n.-gazir.e with a friend, but she created the Carolina Wren
Press on her own. "At first I was seared to to into a
bookstore (to sell the magazine),' she said. Hcgan said she
felMhcre was a real need for a publisher in this area.

Chapel Hill town attorney Emery Denny
has begun legal proceedings to condemn
the property of Stella Gattis, resident of
Caldwell Street Extension.
Town officials want to acquire the ,
property for the street's realignment for
the Community Development Program,
assistant town manager Tony Hooper
said Wednesday.
In a 5-3 vote (one member was absent)
Sept. 8, the council approved use cf part
of the $2.1 million in federal money
granted as part of the small community
assistance program, to straighten out a
dangerous hairpen curve. Hooper said
the curve is where Caldwell Street,
formerly School Lane, runs into
Gomans Avenue and Mitchell Lane. The
property of Stella Gattis lies directly in
the path of this realignment, he said.
R.D. Smith, a council member and
Caldwell Street resident, said Gattis has
lived on the street about 40 years.
Chapel Hill Planner Chris Berndt said
Mitchell Lane was very curvy road that
presented inadequate traffic patterns.
She said the right-of-way would allow
access from the Northside neighborhood
on the cast to the west without making
motorist travel through Rosemary and
Robinson streets to reach their
destination.
The Gattis house was one of three
places affected by the street design.
Berndt said. Permission for the other
areas a house on the curve of Mitchell
Lane and some rental property on
Church Street has been gained already.
According to Berndt, the Community
Development Program officios are
wiHing to offer Gattis compensation for
her property. The compensation would
include: rewarding her a fair market
value for her home; panting her
relocation funds up to $15,000; and
paying for any moving expenses.
Hooper said that with Gattis'a
consent, the town would be wilting to
move the Gattis house to any cf the
empty lots located cn the corner of
Caldwell Street or Church Street. In
addition, should Gattis decide to move
to another house, the Community
Development Prcgren would help her

Even though North Carolina state government expenditures
for public school education axe among the highest in the
nation, many local officials believe the state should spend
more money to relieve the financial burden cn county
governments.
The state is third in the nation in percentage cf education
revenue taken frcn state funds, but ranks 45th in local
spending per pupil and 45th in total spending per pupil,
according to figures from the U.S. Department of Education
and the N.C. Department cf Public Instruction.

in and pick up all the costs mandated by state law," N.C.
