Advertising 933-1163 (plliTnjlTTT uHO WlZ3TVSMllHl The Associated Press PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev on Tuesday quieted fears of Soviet military interven tion in Poland, saying the Polish Communist Party would be able to deal with its problems. Meanwhile, the Czechoslovak news agency reported that the Warsaw Pact maneuvers were completed Tuesday, three weeks ' after they began, and the participating forces were "returning to the places of their permanent stationing." s The maneuvers had raised fears that the Soviet-led forces would intervene to crush the independent labor movement in Poland. The Soviets still have at least 20,000 troops permanently, stationed in Poland. "The objectives set for the exercises have been fulfilled,' the agency Ceteka said in a dispatch issued some eight hours after Brezhnev's speech. "The exercises took place in an organized manner and proved the growing level of operational preparation of generals, admirals and officers," Ceteka said. . The Soviet-led Warsaw Pact did not announce how many, troops participated in the exercises that included Soviet, East German, Czechoslovak and Polish units. The United States and some NATO countries said during the course of the maneuver, called Soyuz-81, that the exercises put the Warsaw Pact in position to intervene in Poland if such a "decision were taken. Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger said Monday the troop buildup in and around Poland was already having the same intimidating effect as an invasion. "1 think it's an inva sion by osmosis," he said. The exercise was the most extensive since those that preceded the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 to eliminate liberal reforms. In 1968, the maneuvers concluded and the troops were dispersed. But several weeks later, Warsaw Pact troops moved into Czechoslovakia. Brezhnev told the Czechoslovak Communist Party congress that although Poland was threatened by hostile forces at home and abroad, the Polish party would "prove able to successfully defend socialism, the true interests of its people, the honor and security of their homeland." A Western diplomat in Moscow said Brezhnev's speech and the end of the maneuvers indicated the Kremlin intended to "calm the waters." But the source said the end of the maneu vers "doesn't close off the, threat of invasion." CO. ! Services itfk -M sj y . 7! s r' i i i n r. if n By ELAINE MCCLATCIIEY Staff Writer A proposal to expand Student Legal Services to include cam pus student organizations will be sent to Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham for approval during the next few weeks, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Donald A. Boulton said Tuesday. Bouiton said he expected Fordham to approve the proposal because it was a needed extension to the legal services program. "This is something we've known we needed for a while," he said. , In the proposal, Jim Winston, chairman of the Student Legal Services Board, requested $6,000 from the Chancellor's Office to begin a pilot program next year that would expand legal ser vices on campus to include student organizations as well as indi viduals. ' Presently, Student Legal Services employs two attorneys through funding from the Campus Governing Council to handle individual student legal problems. If the proposal is approved by Fordham, an attorney will work approximately 20 hours a week as counsel to student organizations. Legal representation will be available to any University-recog- nized student organization unless there is a conflict of interest or the case would take an excessive amount of time, according to the proposal. The services provided would also include legal ed ucation workshops so that student groups could avoid certain legal problems and advice and referral on contracts. Previous legal difficulties such as a contract dispute between the Yackety Yack and its publisher and a libel suit against the Student Consumer Action Union's Gourmet Guide probably could have been avoided if they had appropriate legal counsel, according to the proposal. ' Last summer, a dialogue was begun to allow student organi zations to have more access to legal advice. The Attorney General's Office, Student Legal Services Board, Student Gov ernment, the Chancellor's Office and the Office of Student . Affairs put together the proposal. After the first year the program would be evaluated for . funding by CGC in its annual budget hearings, then the Council would fund the program. 9 T! o M M M U cm 7T if- f? -4- J Sill.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON The House Budget Committee dealt President Ronald Reagan his biggest congres sional defeat to date Tuesday as it dumped his bud get blueprint in favor of a Democratic alternative with smaller deficits and tax cuts, more spending on social programs and less on defense. Vice President George Bush declared the action unacceptable and vowed that "If we're going to have some battles on the House side, we are prepared to do it." Bush told an impromptu news-conference at the . Capitol that "We understand people doing their own things, but we are determined that this package the president has proposed will get a chance ... and get this country back to work." The House panel took its action over the solid op position of outnumbered Republicans as Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill predicted that House Democrats would be able to pass their own plan on the floor as well. Democrats in the House are urging slightly deeper budget cuts than Reagan wants overall, and recom mending a balanced budget in 1983, a year ahead of the president. . '. But they also reject the administration's proposal for a three-year, across-the-board cut in income taxes, substituting a less expensive one-year plan instead. O'Neill, in two meetings with reporters, said that last week's assassination attempt against Reagan generated a strong sympathy vote that hampered Democratic efforts to counter the administration's plan. Democrats held the line with only one defection in the House Budget Committee, where the panel was ' setting guidelines to be used by Congress later this year as it makes decisions about spending, taxes and the size of the deficit. The committee could still change the figures con tained in the overall totals, but the vote placed the panel squarely behind the Democratic plan and against the Reagan proposal. - As such, it represented a defeat for the president, who got virtually everything he wanted last week when the Senate approved a multibillion-dollar pack age of spending cuts. " All 12 Republicans on the committee were joined by Democrat Phil Gramm of Texas in supporting the president's overall proposals. The opposition votes were all cast by Democrats. The Democratic approach calls for spending next year of S713.S billion and a deficit of $24.6 billion. The budget Reagan submitted to Congress earlier this year calls for spending of $695.5 billion and car ried a deficit of $45.2 billion. But Democratic economists in Congress re figured the administration's proposals using less optimistic economic assumptions about inflation and interest rates and said they would really amount to spending of $717.8 billion and a deficit of $50.4 billion. Overall, Democrats propose spending about $4 billion less than the administration. They also want to restore about $7 billion in Reagan-backed cuts in social programs such as health, education and nutri tion, and reduce the administration's defense budget by about $4 billion. . ' , O'Neill indicated the defense figure was still sub ject to change, and several conservative Democrats are pushing for more money for the Pentagon. On taxes, Democrats reject the president's propo sal for a three-year, across-the-board cut in personal income tax rates, in favor of a one-year plan that would provide about $38 billion in tax relief. The comparable figure in Reagan's plan is $5.8 billion. Tax cuts in 1983 and 1984 would be dependent on future spending cuts under the Democratic plan. The vote came after Rep. Delbert Latta, R-Ohio, said the committee was deciding "whether the presi dent's program is going to get off the ground." "We have put this budget together using real num bers," said Rep. James R. Jones, D-Okla., chairman of the House Budget Committee. "There are no magic tricks here." f (TtTfh f , OIH Jjy Hynv Chsps! Hl Police Department ... new address on Airport Road By JEANNIE REYNOLDS , . Slafr Writer . . The Chapel Hill Police Department has a new address. The department has moved its offices from its Rosemary Street location to 828 Airport Road. ... " The move has increased working space about fourfold, Department Administrative Assistant Ben Callahan said Tuesday. Employees of the department were very happy about the move. "The. advantages are one hundred-fold," Captain Charlie Edmonds said. "Now we have adequate room. Before, we were on top of each other, bumping elbows every time we turned around and there was nowhere to store everything. "Now we have room to store everything, and adequate room for office space." "We have a lot more space, for records," Callahan said. "And we also have a new police lab, and a more capable telephone system." Other facilities included in the new building are a new physical fitness area with a gym, lockers, weights and a better lounge area, Callahan said. Though the offices are not as close to the downtown area as the old ones were, Callahan said that he did not foresee any problems with the location. "We can do our job as well at this location as we did before. We're just not downtown," he said. "It may bother others who have to get over here. They may have to ride the bus instead of walking or something. But that is the only problem that I can see coming'up." Businesses in general do not appear concerned that the move will lessen their accessibility to the police should services be needed. "I don't think it will have any effect at all," said a spokesman from Harrison's Bar on Franklin Street. "I don't think it will affect anything," said Bryent Davis of I luggins I iardware. "They drive around a lot. You don't see them walking around anyway." Different sections of the Police Department have their own office space, Callahan said. The administrative offices and the patrol, crime prevention training, detective and other divisions will all have separate areas of the new building assigned to them. ' Callahan said the department was, for all practical purposes, settled in the new building. AU police records have been moved to the new location. But he said it will be some tim everything is completely in order. before Student Spotlight By RAMONA BROWN Staff Writer Masterful musicians like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles are precious jewels, but there may be a similar gem on this campus. Darrjl Eaton, a sophomore music perform ance major, can create a smooth, flowing mel ody on the piano, even though he has been blind ' since the age of 10. He couldn't see after suffer ing from a gradual eye-weakening disorder. "After becoming blind, I needed something toward which I might direct my energies, so I became interested in music," Eaton said. Eaton, who has been playing music since age 12, enjoys playing classical, contemporary, gospel, pop and jazz. "I play ail kinds of music, but my favorite is gospel because it was what inspired me to learn to play," he said. After playing for 10 years, Eaton said play ing music w as a device by which he was able to prove himself as a person. "Although I am blind, I don't allow this stumbling block to prevent me from getting involved in several organizations and partici pating in activities," Eaton said. The Mocksvi'.Ie, N.C., native is a member of the Phi Mu Alpha music fraternity, the Men's Glee Club, the Minority Advisory Pro gram and the United Christian Fellowship. "I enjoy working with the Minority Advisory Program and being a member of the United Christian Fellowship because it helps me to feel comfortable with others and them to be comfortable with me," Eaton said. Eaton He said that involvement help him to grow and enjoy himself. See EAT O.N on page 3 aiiiveFoauie mmMw an! ju By BILL STUD EN C Staff riser tlr4 ef thrre-p art wrrtei At The University of North Carolina, students are deterred from cosnmitting acts of academic misconduct by their own senses of honor and in tegrity. When tlle-ed violations of the Cod: of Student Conduct do occur, a judicial system that is for the most part student-run, investigates the al'lon and administers any appreciate punish ments. The judiwLl syem consists of two separate bodies the Student Attorney General's Office and the Undergraduate Court. Other universities and cc":rs across the natbn rmc devised honor and judlcul systems with ary jrj decrees of similarity to Carolina's, while still others have devised completely different systems.

Gordon says the honor code pledge card served to make students aware of the laws on academic activity and also served as a deterrent to make people think twice before cheating. The judicial system consists of an appointed attorney general and his aides and the Judicial Board vshich is made up of representatives from each class and faculty representatives. Gordon said, "A lot of professors deal with it themselves. They deal personally with the student involved." At UNC, instructors are required to report any and all acts of academic misconduct. At the University of Southern California there is no written basis for the honor system, sedJ lee.n Norman Fertig. He xaiJ the professors at USC deal with cheating and administer individual pun ishments of an on the work invoKed. a fall ing grade in the course, or whatever the professor feels is appropriate. "We don't h;ne a stated y.wm heeaue the consensus ts lhat k jus! hasn't worked at other prestigious s,ho, '!," he said. Vi: . :' j 1 t " C iv ere is ,s s r 1 i: ! h c '. -t.

"We don't have it articulated yet, but we're trying to systemize it and have something w ritten K. down." He expressed some pessimism cn the success fulness of any honor system.
