Dr. Thomas Kniesner, assistant pro
fessor of economics at UNC-CH, says
Ronald Reagan is going to be an average
president. And Kniesner has the statistics to
prove it.
Kniesner uses the Human Capital Model
anddiscrimip.ant analysis to make pre
dictions of how presidents will fare in
their job.
.The Human Capital Model maintains
that job success depends on age. educa
tion and experience. "It tries to mirirr.ize
the amount of variables used to analyze
the performance of presidents," Kniesner
said.
, "What we're in the business of doing
here is taking objective information at
the time they are running," he said. "We;
take information before the guy is presi
dent and predict what will happen."
Discriminant analysis is "how you
wind up being categorized, based on a
set of traits," Kniesner said. The Internal
Revenue Services uses it to determine
who should be audited.
According to Kniesner's model,
"Reagan came out to be a solid average.
The likelihood we are right is very high.
"Reagan is a little bit older than aver
age. He was a governor for eight years
and he hasn't done anything else," he
- said. -
Kniesner started making predictions
during the 1976 presidential campaign.
"Ford should have been an average pres
ident. Carter should have been above
average," he said. Since then, he has
analyzed many past presidents using the
.Human Capital approach. But U.S.
presidents have been a ' homogeneous
group, Kniesner s(aid. Most have been
approximately the same age and education.
"The big thing to hang our hat on is
what seems to make somebody a bad
president," he said. "People who spent
a lot of years in Congress or a lot of
years in the military turn out to be lousy
presidents.
"The presidency, which is an admin
istrative job, requires a different set of.
skills than a legislator or someone in the
military," Kniesner said.
"The great presidents seem to be peo
ple who spent time in local government
or were in the Cabinet, around the presi
dent," he said, "or were a 'little president
like a mayor or governor."
John Kennedy, for example, was rated
as below average by Kniesner's study be
cause of his many years in Congress. But
Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson
and Franklin Roosevelt were rated
above average.
According to Kniesner's analysis,
Richard Nixon should have been a great
president because of his training.
Kniesner said he "might do (Vice
President) George Bush next to see
how a preppie president would come out"
Alex Charm, a spokesman for the Environ
mental Law Project, burned a power bill and
encouraged protestors to chant "Power for
people, not for profit." He said the protest
was held to send a message to the legislature
saying consumers were fed up with being
forced to pay for nuclear power plants. "The
basic idea behind our protest," he said, "is
that Duke Power is involved in keeping CW1P
alive.
Charns also said that laws like CWIP made
people pay for power they may never use. He
said that Duke Power could sell the electricity
it generated outside the state to people who
never payed for the construction of the plant.
"The '60s phrase 'power to the people' must
be returned to the people," he said.
In commenting about the protest, Duke
Power District Manager John Kincaid said
that raising capital for power plants was dif
ficult. "Without the law, the cost of construc
tion would be much higher, and that higher
cost would have to be passed on to consumers,"
he said.
Kincaid also said that only interest rates
were charged to the consumers, and that any
power sold outside North Carolina cost as
much, if not more, than it did within the state.

"These mini-interviews are designed so we
can talk to candidates we are interested in and
get to know them better. They are not cuts or
anything," Hatem said.
"Don't panic if you don't get a mini
interview and don't get overconfident if you
get three. If you have three it may mean you
are not coming through clearly."
"Housing has set up five roles for an R.A.
He or she must be an educator, administrator?
regulator, resource person and a friend and
counselor.
"R.A.S are rehired every semester. If they
don't fulfill the job's requirements, they are
asked to resign. However, R.A.S wanting to
keep their job another semester have no
interview unless they want to transfer to
another area," she said.
What personal qualities do interviewers look
for in prospective R.A.s? Kathy Hearsey,

Residence College, said, "I look for someone
who has enthusiasm about being an R.A. and
for someone with a potential to learn. The
person also needs a commitment to the job."
"I like to find someone who is down to
earth. I also think the person needs a sense of
humor. 1 like to see a warm person," Hatem
. said. "A lot of people can do the job.
However, it takes someone with a commitment
. and willingness to do it right."
, What is it that makes people want to try put
. to be R.A.s? Drew Davey, a junior trying out
for the first time this year explained, 4,I spent
three years on campus. I really enjoy campus
life. I've seen two good R.A.s and one bad
R.A. while at school. The one bad R.A. I had
- was very sad.
"I want to get people involved with the
dorm, for the R.A. is important in setting the
atmosphere for the floor.".
Tracy Wiren, a sophomore R.A. applicant,
said, "I see a lot of potential in the R.A.

position. I want people that come to Carolina
to realize that it's not just study-study here,
but that this is home. I'd like them to feel
comfortable in dorm living."
Randy Mullis, a junior who tried out one
time before said, "I've wanted to be an R.A.
ever since I was a freshman. The past three
years I worked at the library. I have to have a
job and this is one I would like. I liked living in
the dorm and I want to get back in." Mullis
' lives in an apartment because he was closed
out of the dorm by the lottery last year.
Hatem summed up an R.A.s job this wiy:
"There is a myth about R.A.s having a single
room. It's just not true. You have less privacy
when you are an R.A. than when you have a
roommate. An advantage of the job is working
for the University and feeling you are a part of
it. You also experience a personal growth with
the job. The best thing about this job is that
the training never stops. Just ask about any
R.A. and they will tell you they wouldn't trade
the job for anything."

Three armed robberies occurred this weekend in Orzngs County. The Happy
Store, Lloyd's Self Service and The Pantry on 'Highway 70 were robbed Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday, respectively. No suspects for any of the holdups
have been apprehended."'
The Happy Store at 100 East Franklin Street was robbed of $85 at 9:52
Saturday morning. According to Chapel Hill Police reports, a black male
entered the store with a handgun in his belt. He fled on foot. No description
of the suspect was available. -
A black male with a green jacket and ski mask robbed Lloyd's Self Service
on East Main Street in Carrboro at 8:45 Sunday night. The man carried a
.32-or .38-caliber pistol and stole the night deposit bag from the manager
who was leaving. The robber escaped around the corner to Brewers Lane on
foot with an undetermined amount of money, Carrboro Police Captain N.E.
Miller said.
Two white males with a .357-caliber Magnum robbed The Pantry on High
way 70 of about $100 at 3 a.m. Monday, the Orange County Sheriffs Depart
ment reported.
Lake may not be filled for yearo
The impoundment of the Haw and New Hope rivers to fill the controversial B.
Everett Jordan Reservoir could be delayed for as long as two years, according
to a letter received last week by N.C. Fourth District Congressman Ike
Andrews. The lake, about 20 miles south of Chapel Hill in eastern Chatham
County, had been scheduled to be filled in fall 1981.
In a Feb. 5 letter to Andrews, Col. Robert K. Hughes, Wilmington district
engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, wrote that attempts of lake
area residents to get officials to relocate state roads 1900 and 1903 could post
pone plans to fill the lake. The corps is responsible for the 14-year-old lake
project.'.
Lobbying by opponents of the road closings has gained the support of local
officials, U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms and former U.S. Sen. Robert Morgan, as
well as Andrews.
Semoro raise Jfund
for
elms gift
. The senior class will be selling slices of
cherry cheese pie Wednesday to raise
money for the class gift, the Jimmy Ever
; hart Scholarship fund.
Everhart, who was killed in an auto
mobile accident last August, was a rising
senior. 1
"We were looking for something that
would; be useful and more personal,"
said Lisa Goodwin, senior class president.
. Money collected from 14 boxes stationed
on and off campus will help the class
sponsor a $500 scholarship, Goodwin
said. In addition to the pie sales, the
class will sponsor movies over the next
two Tuesdays and solicit donations from
seniors, sororities and fraternities.
"The class will continue to give to the
fund as alumni. This will give us conti
nuity," Goodwin said.
The financial aid office will choose
the recipient of the scholarship from ris
ing seniors with a 3.2 grade point average
or better on the basis of need, Goodwin
said. .
