Norberg spent the last few weeks in the office even though he was not the official president. He has been getting updates on the current sta tus of many of the issues facing the University and meeting with former cabinet members to discuss his new cabinet, he said. Because the election was close, Norberg said he decided to take his time in making appoint ments to let the heat of the election die down. He said he would be making several of his top level appointments today. "I was impressed that so many people got .involved in the campaign, no matter what side they were on," Norberg said. "On both sides .there were very competent and capable people working on the campaign and I would like to interest people who didn't work for me on the campaign in working for student government this year. "That's the main reason I've been holding off my own appointments, to 1st people know that I need everybody's help." Norberg explained that his first priority dur ing the last two weeks had been to restructure the executive branch of student government to make it more accessible. For example Suite C will be set up with labeled desks so that any student walking in will know where to go for .help. Improving minority recruitment, starting an experimental book rental system and estab lishing a good relationship between the towns people and the students are issues Norberg wants to concentrate on. "I think the student body has a lot of poten tial for improving recruitment of black students and improving understanding between blacks and whites," he said. "The biggest problem is there just aren't very many black students on campus. On North Campus, there are from zero to five blacks in a dorm. If you're like most students you want to be understood before you can feel comfortable," he said. "Basically, if more blacks are on campus there are more blacks living all over the place and you don't get that sense of isolation." The experimental book rental system is a top priority. Norberg said that cutting prices on books would probably have a serious effect on the scholarships offered by the Student Stores, but by using the rental system, the cost of the book would not change, but would be divided over three or four semesters. Subsequently, the cost of the book would be divided between three or four students. . "I don't want to do anything that would seriously hurt the scholarships," Norberg said, adding that a book rental system would give everyone a break and the Student Stores would be able to charge the same overhead that they had been charging in the past. Norberg said he will also concentrate on starting a good relationship between the town and the University. "The noise ordinance is a very sticky issue. We're all members of the same community. We'll have to come to a compromise that will respect the rights of people in the town in such 'a way that we, as students, are not being dis criminated against. "Overall, I'm looking forward to a very pro ductive year."

The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) President Ronald Reagan said Tuesday that his response to the recent diplomatic oveftures of Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev could hinge upon the Kremlin's role in arming El Salvador insurgents. At the same time, Reagan said the United States had no intention of becoming involved in a Vietnam-like conflict in El Salvador, even as " ' ' " Pentagon officials said that more American military advisers . may be sent there. Reagan, in his first public comment after Brezhnev's call Monday for a summit and new arms talks, said Moscow's al liance with Central American revolutionaries "would be one of the things that should be straightened out before any such meetings are set." Asked whether he risked appearing reluctant to seize an opportunity by delaying the U.S. response, the pres ident said: "I don't thihk it's a case that we will be ob viously or intentionally dragging our feet. "We have to put this up to our allies," he said. And besides, he added in reference to the Soviets, "They've had experience dragging their feet." Scott Norberg, student body president officially sworn into office ... Tuesday, he became UNC's 60th president since 1922. r i i j Brezhnev Reagan said he had no way of determining Brezhnev's sincerity. "I wouldn't try to guess what's in his inner thinking," he said. At an impromptu news conference, the president, who has repeatedly linked the future of U.S.-Soviet relations to Russia's conduct around the globe, pointed to the State Department's detailed allegations that Moscow and other communist nations have been sup plying the guerrillas. Meanwhile, a Defense Department spokesman, Col. Jerry Grohowski, disclosed that the dispatching of ad ditional military advisers to El Salvador to train govern ment troops was under active consideration. But he said there were no plans for any Americans to partici pate in field exercises or combat. . There are about 20 U.S. military advisers stationed in the strife-torn nation. The Washington Star reported Tuesday that the United States may send up to 50 Army specialists to El Salvador? but..Grohowski said no num- bers had been set. "There are all kinds of options," he said. Reagan characterized questions over the U.S. role in supporting the military and civilian junta in El Salvador as "part of the Vietnam syndrome. "We are in support of the government there against those who are attempting a violent overthrow," he said. Reagan said the Soviet Union denied the allegations about arming the guerrillas, but he said "the evidence we have and have made public ... makes it evident they are involved." The State Department on Monday made public cap tured documents that said nearly 200 tons of arms and other equipment were sent to the guerrillas late last year for use in a military offensive that began last month. The Reagan administration said the captured battle plans, letters and reports of meetings and travels were proof of indirect and armed aggression by the Soviet bloc. The evidence, according to the State Department, demon strates that Cuba and the Soviet Union are engaged in "a well coordinated covert effort to bring about the overthrow of El Salvador's established gov ernment and to impose in its place a communist regime with i.' v.; i- ::XZ no popular -support; -v -; ""-: '. '. .w.w-' Some officials speculate that Cuba and other countries have curbed arms deliveries in recent weeks out of fear the United States may respond with military force. Put others say the cessation may simply be a sign that the Salvadoran insurgents have enough weaponry for the time being. .

By STEVE GRIFFIN Staff Writer A record number of North Carolinians who chanced driving while intoxicated in 1930 found their ventures unsuccessful, as both state and local arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol reached an all-time high. Statistics show that 48,270 DUI cita tions were issued by the North Carolina Highway Patrol in 1980. The previous high of 45,962 was set in 1979. On the lo cal level, Chapel Hill police report that arrests for drunken driving rose from 291 to 351 in the same period. Arnold Rector, the state highway patrol's coordinator of traffic safety information, cited two main reasons for the increase. "Money from a federal grant allowed us to give troopers overtime pay to work on their days off, which meant more patrolmen on the road," he said. Rector's second reason stemmed from a program begun statewide in 1966, tar-, gcted specifically at detecting drunk drivers and speeders. Just over half a million DUI arrests have been made in North Carolina since that program began. Ben Callahan, administrative assistant for the Chapel Hill Department, said that traffic law enforcement in general has been stressed, but no individual of fenses have been singled out for special attention by the department.- Surprisingly, the largest increase in arrests made locally in 19S0 came from June to August, when fewer students are in town, Callahan said. "Apparently the students are respon sible for only a small percent of the DUIs issued in Chapel Hill," he said. Nearly all the drunken driving arrests made locally result from the consumption of beer, Callahan said. Mixed drinks, which have only been available in Chapel Hill since November of 1978, have had practically no impact on the number of drunken drivers on the road. There is some disagreement con cerning the effect . football weekends have on the number of DUI citations issued. "While it might appear that there are many more chances for us to make arrests," Callahan said, "our men actually are very busy with other duties and simply don't have the time to make mass arrests." The highway patrol's Rector believes that football weekends possibly do affect the number of DUI arrests made. "Any time a large number of people arc toge ther in that type of setting, this could be a factor," he said.
