Cross debut album, Christopher Cross, was named best al bum of the year Wednesday night at Radio City Music Hall. The big hit from the album, "Sailing," was named record of the year and song of the year and since Cross wrote the song as well as sang it, both awards went to him. Also, Cross was named best new artist. Both Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder have won more than one Grammy in a year, but it's unprecedented for an artist to sweep the three top Grammys in his debut year. Kenny Loggins won the Grammy for best pop male vocal per formance for "This Is It" from his latest album, Alive. Bette Midler won the Grammy for the best pop female vocal performance for The Rose, title song of the movie in which she played a rock singer fighting addiction. Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb were awarded the Grammy for the best pop vocal performance by a duo or group for "Guilty." In country music, the winners were George Jones, Willie Nelson and Anne Murray. Jones, who was heralded by Charley Pride as "the Hank Williams of today," got a standing ovation from the audience in the 6,000-seat hall after winning the Grammy for best country male vocal performance for his tear jerker, "He Stopped Loving Her Today." - In the best country song category, Willie Nelson, who lost out to Jones on performance, took the Grammy for "On the Road Again." Nelson later spoke indirectly about the drinking problem that had greatly crippled his career: "We don't want to go into all of that. Everybody has ups and downs. I've had downs, until the , past year and a half. "It was realizing you do have friends and people care. Once you do that, you have a chance to come back. People help you on that right track back and the rest of it is up to you." Canadian Anne Murray won the Grammy, for the best coun try female vocal performance with her single "Could I Have This Dance?" Roy Orbison and Emmylou Harris won the award for best country performance by a duo or group with vocal for their single "That Loving You Feeling Again." The National Academy of Recording Artists, which sponsors the Grammys, gave special Trustees Awards to Aaron Copland, the 80-year-old composer, and Count Basie, the 76-year-old jazz bandleader.

Graham said that 440 men and 752 women were placed ran domly on the list during a public drawing held Tuesday morning in Carr Building. The list will be used to fill on-campus spaces vacated by cancellations. Last year, 1,179 students were assigned positions on the waiting list. Graham said there was no accurate way to predict how many students from the list will be assigned housing. In 1980, 152 men and 178 women were assigned in time for the fall semester. "We're having cancellations all the time," she said. "It could be more or it could be less." In reference to the lottery system, officially called The Random Selection Method of Assignments, Graham said that it was "the only process that seemed fair and workable.'.' The goal of the lottery system is to be consistent in assigning the limited number of spaces, she said. "Before (the lottery), people had to stand in line for days, missing classes and meals. Parents, administrators and faculty members were upset. And, in one case, an injury took place during the rush to submit applications," she said. Graham said the housing department was in the process of looking for alternatives to the 6-year-old system. Proposals such a guaranteeing spaces to freshmen and sophomores, assigning rooms on the basis of quality point average or on the basis of residency status would be considered. She added that the housing department would listen to suggestions from students. far! r r -s r,ij; r "" r"" rnm r"5 r nprlWinnf?An UNC Year Abroad Program in Seville Spain Informational Meeting Tugs.
