(TT) By GEORGE SIIADROWSY Special lo The Daily Tar HeS if - In a special meeting Tuesday night, the Elections Board voted to hold another campus election, declaring the results of last month's races invalid. "We know how much everyone likes campus elections, so we figured, 'What the heck, why not do it again?"' said chair 'man Gregg James after the special session. The news threw several current campus politicos into a frenzy. "Does this mean I have to pay for my Final Four tickets to Philadelphia?" said Student Body President (maybe) Scott Norberg. "That's one of the main reasons I ran for office, so I could . get tickets and a big office. It would be terribly disappointing if 1 were to lose, especially since my margin of victoiy was so large in the run-off last month. I have a mandate from the people," he added. Some candidates took the news calmly, saying they were grateful to have another chance to ruin their grade point aver ages and knock on doors at Hinton James. "You know, speaking in public is really my favorite part of the whole thing," said presidential hopeful Mark Bozymski. "I don't really know what I'll talk about for the new election, but I'm sure there is some important issue out there waiting to be addressed." . , Other candidates did not take the news kindly. Daily Tar Heel Editor (for now anyway) Jim Hummel locked himself in his office, refusing to talk with anyone. "Access, you want access? I" he was heard shouting from behind a closed door. Absolutely not why do you think we moved over here to these new offices? . "It was so we could get away from everyone and write scath ing editorials. Now nobody can find us so it doesn't matter what we say," Hummel said. . Several hours later, however, Hummel brought himself under control and discussed what his strategy would be for the new election. "All I can say right now is that we're planning on taking a new approach," he said. Presidential hopeful Joe Buckner was unavailable for com ment on Tuesday, but a Buckner spokesman said the troops were already being mobilized in preparation for a tight race. "Last I heard, Joe was out shooting some more campaign posters, but we might have some problems because we have to get ready on such short notice," the spokesman said. "Joe's out of practice when it comes to raising his eyebrows and all of his Polo shirts are still at the cleaners. It's good we still have some buttons left." Senior Class presidential candidates contacted Tuesday night said they were gearing up for one more week of campaigning. "It's about time the Elections Board did us right," said Joey Hoyle, who is running on the same ticket with Bill Carlton for president and vice president, respectively. "I think the fact that my name was misspelled and we were placed wrong on the ballot had a definite effect on the out come. Shoot, we could have gotten at least 25,000 more votes if our names were in the right place." Elections Board members had mixed emotions about the newly-called election. "My word, this is the fourth time around," said board member Deana Williamson; "We had the Mock Election last fall, and two elections last month, ' "I am basically very shy and having to write the results on that big board in Great Hall before ail those people is terrify ing. I don't think it's right to have to do it again," Williamson - said. ' .. . . - Another board member was quoted as saying, "All I want to know before we go through this thing again is 'What time do .the polls close? Is it 6:15 p.m. or 7:00 p.m.?'" .: 4 T. WunV James Elections Board rncmbers following Tuesday meeting ... 'What the heck, why not do it again?' Jlismu prm t&3 'Molhuud wimps out By WRETCH SMITH SUff Writer PHILADELPHIA North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith put Virginia coach Terry Holland over his knee and .administered a "firm, forceful spanking' after Holland had disrupted a meeting of -the National Association of Basketball Coaches Tuesday. . For his actions, Smith was given the 1931 Distinguished Service Award by acclamation by the members of NABC. Smith, who took over as president of the coaches' group this week at the con vention held in conjunction with the NCAA championships, spanked Holland much as a parent would spank a spoiled, rotten, little kid who pouts around the house. "Terry is basically a good boy," Smith said. "But he has to be kept in line every once in a while. His behavior at our meeting was just more than I could stand." "I want my mommy," Holland wailed after the paddling. "Dean Smith has been very mean to me and I don't de serve all this. I didn't do nothing." Smith disciplined Holland after the "Virginia coach interrupted a panel dis cussion on officiating in college basket ball by holding Ills breath until his face turned blue. "We were discussing how we could improve our work in the college game," said official Lenny Wirtz, who was on the panel. "All of a sudden, the Holland guy stands up and says that until all the officials apologize for cheating him all year, he was going to hold his breath." "Our players get called for fouls and they simply don't foul people," Holland said. "Jeff Larrj) has never committed a personal foul in his life.' Just ask him." . "Terry's hollering about fouls is some thing most of us can overlook most of . the time," Indiana coach Bobby Knight said. "But enough is enough. I mean, if a coach can't behave himself and act like he has a little bit of sense, what good is , he?" After Holland bean holding his breath, he was told to stop by Smith. He did, but started saying "Dean is a meany! Dean is a meany!" despite Smith's order that he return to his seat and allow the discussion to continue. At that point, Holland besan stomp ing his feet and chanting "I won't, I won't, 1 won't," in answer to Smith. "I had to show Terry that he couldn't :t away with acting tike that," Smith said. "So I decided that a spanking was the most appropriate punishment for a guy who's acting like he is six years old." The spanking drew a standing ovation from, the coaches assembled at the meet ing. Holland ran from the room after the incident and was reportedly sitting in his room later in the day. There was an unconfirmed report that Smith had sent HcHand to bed without supper. Afterwards, the coaches decided to give fl.T.i:h the service auard in a voice vote. "Dean deserves it anyway, but what ! e c ! to c!J Terry was a reat thing far us cr tl i I d ." Smith said he was sorry that it had to ccrr.eiothi but that he hoped Terry had I::rr his lesson, "If rot," Smith said, "I may have to C ) h n r.t car." &'.! Lefty Drifts:! said.

RALSTON PURINA Staff Writer " Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Donald Boulton announced Tuesday that the Food Services Advisory Committee has approved a new type of mandatory meal plan. The new plan will eliminate the possibility of a mandatory meal plan for freshmen while pro viding the funds the committee says is needed to renovate the various food -service outlets on campus. Beginning Monday, all dogs who eat in or around the Carolina Union Fast Break and the Pit Stop will be required to join a meal plan offered by ARA, Inc., the campus food service. Beginning next week, the Carolina Union Fast Break will serve meal plan users up to 14 meals a week with varied menus designed es pecially for thecanine palate. "We feel tha the immense dog population on central campus is an untapped resource at UNC," said an ARA spokesman. "Because we did not get any feedback from the students, we decided jtjnight be best to go to other areas." - Construction of a dog door recently has been completed at the Fast Break for quick service for meal plan members, the spokesman said. Carolina Union Director Howard Henry said he did not know if there were plans to add a separate snack bar for dogs if the new meal plan was successful. 'We can't predict anything yet," Henry said. "Right now, I'm not so sure I like the idea of ' all these dogs in the Union anyway we liaven't gotten health certification for the new Daily Tar Heel offices yet." Vice Chancellor Boulton said he favored the new plan because it catered to a neglected mi nority on campus but said he believed that the plan could discriminate against cats. Sidney Katt, president of Carolina Cats, said he was upset over the new meal plan. "Right now, I see trouble with it," Katt said. "ARA assures me that it is planning to open a Cat's Corner in the Circus Room within the next year, and that we would just have to cat with the dogs until then. But I think that's ' pretty damned insensitive." Mmg reigm m ttiffpper. WhUe Mouse- decou By RATT BITESCOOK Staff Writer WASHINGTON Sec retary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. submitted his resig nation Tuesday, citing his main reason is "that tyran nical woman in the White House who is on a power trip." An unidentified White House source close to Nancy Reagan said it has been no secret that there has been friction between the First ' Lady and Haig ever since the president put her in , charge of redecorating the Reagan family's private living quarters. Many said this conflict redefined Haig's entire role in the present administration. "Nancy b really more of a beige and chiffon type 1 At person whereas Alexander seems to have more of an affection for black Nauga hyde and metal," Mrs. Reagan's Social Secretary Muffle Brandon said. "I knew there would be con flict from the first time Alexander came to dinner and chastised Mrs. Reagan for her table arrangement. He said her strategy was all wrong." Apparently the alterca- i'C it. v "Jfr fcV .r, x:-' Nancy tion came down to harsh words over the hanging of new drapes in the Oval Office. Haig reportedly has sought to ban the color red" from White House decor because of possible leftist overtones. But it's no secret that red is Mrs. Reagan's favorite color for clothing and decoration. "Red drapes, red dress ... why that little Evita," Haig reportedly said in dis gust before flinging Mrs. Reagan's scarlet blazer onto the office floor and stalking out in a huff. "Weil, who wants mili tary camouflage sheets on the beds certainly not .'me," Mrs. Reagan retorted. "We're not into that type of thing." Haig has reportedly threat ened to resign about 10 times before over china pattern selection, guest lists and arrangement of furniture. "He just can't see that I don't want mess hall gear on my dinner table, men in uniform around my din ner table, or my living room arranged to accentuate what he calls 'that oh so divine bunker look'," Mrs. Reagan said. "We're just completely different. I Rscsnt IVhUa Hcu ... lead to Al don't like the way he con- ( descends to Muffic one bit either. I see them as equals just as I see my husband and ' me as equals. "There b a lot to be said for social grace. You don't just charge into somebody's home and try to take over when you have no concep tion of how they live, their tastes or what's really going on. But that's exactly what Alexander Haig was doing to my family. The day he sent decorating advisers over here in helicopters to assess the situation, I knew we were in for trouble. He doesn't belong here. Get him out and let him play these silly games somewhere else." ' "I was just trying to help her out and give the public a good example of w hat a red-blooded American home should be tike," Haig said. sa renovations Nancy dispute Clyde jubilant 6Billy9 sweeps 'Aeadeiamy Awards Clint ts st wood rides sway cs Crcnco Clltf .,, t:Aes unprecedented 7 Oscars ty BAKHV CnmCAL SJaff Writer Bronco Hilly, a modem cemkr-western that stars Clint East wood, was the surprising winner of best picture Tuesday night in the 53rd Academy Awards. The film was also the winner of six other Academy Awards including best actor and best director which both went to Clint Eastwood. Bronco Ellty wasn't officially nominated in any category.

"Heck, it gives me a real boost to wb today, etpecully for Bronco t.'.ly, a film that nobody went to see and no critic Lked.

"And if you print any of this up I'll swear I w as misquoted and sue you and your paper's ass off," she added.
