As students converge on Chapel Hill to resume stud
ies 4n the fall there is an annual glut of moving trail
ers returned to the town's dealers. These U-Hauls
have been accumulating at Suttle's Texaco at Uni
versity Mall over the past week, and a similar situa
tion exists at the East Franklin Care station, which
rents Jartran trailers.
Check receiving procedure changed
By MARK ANCONA
DTH Staff Writer
The UNC Student Aid Office has insti
tuted two procedural changes for students
who" will be receiving financial ,aid,
Eleanor Morris, director of student aid at
UNC, said recently.
One change involves howa, student
receives a check from the Student Aid Of
fice. In the past, students would apply for
aid and, during the summer, if the appli
cation was approved, the office would
notify the student when to pick up the
check.
With the new procedure, students are
sent forms in the summer to fill out so the
Student Aid Office will know which stu
dents are accepting the grants. Before, it
was assumed that any students approved
for allocations would accept the funds.
"I think the new procedure will be a lot
more effective," Morris said. "Now we
ask students to mail us back notification
that they will want their award.- It will
. save us a lot of trouble in the future."
Morris said the new procedure was in
stituted for two reasons. One is to make
the process easier in the fall.
"All students will have to do is pick up
their checks with the new procedure,"
Morris said. "There will be a reduction in
the size of the lines, and it will get stu
dents through the process a lot faster." -
The second and more important reason
for the change is because the old process
wasted money.
"We need the money so much now that
things are a lot tighter due to the (federal
budget) cuts," Morris said. "Before, we
wouldn't know until school started who
would not be using the loans, and all the
check's were already printed. The new
aid
procedure gives us time to do something
with the money that is not going to be ac
cepted' (i.e., award it to other students
who were previously rejected).
"I think that we will be able to have a
better idea on how we are spending our
money."
The second procedural change will af
fect students while they are waiting in line
for their checks in front of Vance Hall.
This year there will be two counselors
stationed outside with two lists. One list
will include students whose checks are
ready, and the other will have the names
of students who still must fill out their
forms to receive their checks.
Morris said that stationing the counse
lors outside would ensure that students
would not have to wait in line as long as
in previous years and that they would also
know what they needed to do before en
tering the office.

be fulfilled due to loyal investors in North Carolina, Broadway
said. -
But, as is the case with student aid at UNC, all late applica
tions for loans will have to be turned down.
"In past years a student could be serviced if the student turned
in a late application because revenues were adequate. But now
we cannot help late applicants," Broadway said.
There also has been an 82 percent increase in the number of
applications received by the College Foundation because of the
inadequate amount of funds available at the various colleges and
universities, which has caused further problems, he said.
"The primary purchasers of these types of bonds (education
bonds) are the banks," he said. "We have very loyal investors in
North Carolina. They have all been trying to make an effort to
contribute as much as possible." "" ' -
These investors should help provide the foundation with ap
proximately $35 million to allocate this year, Broadway said.
"We are optimistic about approving all the loans on the dead
line group," Broadway said. "Our forecasts show we will be able
to fulfill all these loans."
Lahgston is also optimistic about the chances for all deadline
applications being fulfilled. v .
"We are a lot more optimistic now than when we first heard
about the cuts," he said. "1 don't think the students that don't
get a loan will suffer that much. There is a history at UNC that
students are a lot more resilient to these types of cuts than other
students,"

Three current members of the Carrboro
Board of Aldermen and the town's mayor
still have not decided if they will seek re
election in this fall's upcoming municipal
elections, but all four say they are leaning
toward running.
Aldermen Nancy White, Braxton Fou
shee, and Doug Sharer all are incumbents
whose positions will be up for election this
November. White and Sharer are now first
term aldermen, while Foushee is ending
his second elected term. -i
-
Carrboro Mayor Robert Drakeford said
Sunday that he would not make a decision
concerning a possible third term until the
first or second week Of September. He did
indicate that he was leaning toward run
ning, however.
Alderman White stated that she was
also inclinded to run again. .
"It's very satisfying to have your opin
ions count as they do in this job," White
said'. "I will probably make my decision
within the next week."
Sharer also gave an indication that he
would attempt to retain his seat this fall.
. "I'll have to make my mind up pretty
soon. There are personal as well as politi
cal factors to be considered. Time is cer
tainly one of them," said Sharer.
The remaining possible candidate,
Foushee, said that he would be making
his decision in early September, but that
he would likely make a run for another
term.
Foushee is the town's mayor pro tern.
All three aldermen were elected in 1977
for the normal four-year term that the
position offers.
The current mayor was first elected in
1977 and retained the position in the 1979
election. That year he ran against Larry
Carroll, a candidate with no political ex
perience, and won by a landslide. j
The election of 1977 was the first elec
tion victory for Sharer and White, who
had been appointed to fill board vacancies.
All four candidates are expected to an
nounce their intentions officially some
time in the next three weeks.
Hunt names Drakeford to board
Carrboro Mayor Robert Drakeford
was named to the Code Officials Qualifi
cations Board by Gov Jim Hunt this
summer for a three-year term. .
The board consists of 20 members,
seven of whom are appointed by the gov
ernor, Drakeford's term will expire July
1, 1984.
The Board is responsible for establishing
minimum standards for employment of
code-enforcement officials. A code-

enforcement official sets standards and
requirements for the construction, altera
tion, repair or demolition of buildings. ,
Drakeford is also president of Small
Cities Communications. He is vice-president
of the National Conference of Black
Mayors and president of the North Caro
lina Black Mayors.
Drakeford was first elected major of
Carrboro in 1977 when he won by a fairly
comfortable margin. He was re-elected in
'979 in a landslide victory and has given
indications he will seek a third term in
elections this fall.
' "I was very honored to be appointed to
this position by the governor and I hope
that I will be able to carry out its duties
efficiently," Drakeford said. "I look for
ward to serving on this (the board) for the
next three years."

Three bodies remain missing in Taiwan
The Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan Of the 110 people killed in Taiwan's
worst air; disaster, three bodies were still missing Sunday night,
and some relatives prepared to fly here to claim remains of vic
tims. Most, bodies were kept at Taipei's only funeral home, where
50 had been identified by Sunday night, officials said. There
were no survivors in the fiery Saturday crash. ' -
About 50 relatives of the 18 Japanese victims were scheduled
to arrive! Monday. Four U.S. citizens and another foreigner
believed j to be Canadian also died. The other victims were
Taiwan nationals.
Officials of Far Eastern Air Transport, the domestic carrier
which owned the Boeing 737 that exploded and burned in flight,
said two experts were coming from Boeing headquarters near
Seattle today to help determine the cause of the crash. Airline
officials have refused to rule out sabotage, but said they have no
evidence. ,
The airline was refusing all cargo for its other six 737s because
of suspicions the crash was caused by a bomb, officials said. The
planes were flying Sunday, but the airline said many passengers
. had canceled reservations, lowering the average planeload from
JJ37'peopieot5b., ,MMo 1 VvV
The jet was' flying at 22,000 feet, bound for the southern
Taiwan port of Kaohsiung from Taipei, when, witnesses said, it
exploded and crashed near the small town of Sanyi, 94 miles
southwest of Taipei.
Bodies and pieces of aircraft scattered over four miles of hills'
and brush. Rescue workers, hampered by the rough terrain, us
ed bulldozers and cranes" to move chunks of wreckage in the
search for missing victims. ?
Airline officials said the plane had turned back from a
scheduled run to the Pescadore Islands earlier Saturday because
of a cockpit pressure leak. That problem and two minor faults
in the hydraulic brakes and landing gear were fixed and the
plane was cleared for the Kaohsiung run, they said. .
The airline's deputy director of maintenance, T.H., Chang,
told reporters Sunday that none of those problems could have
caused the crash. ,
A spokesman for the American Institute in Taiwan, a private
organization that handles American affairs in the absence of
U.S.-Taiwanese diplomatic relations, said the U.S. victims in
cluded a local businessman, Harry Grossman, of Richey Elec-

Kuniko Mukoda, who received the prestigious. Naoki prize for
her fiction in 1980.
Chapman sentence to foe given today
" The Associated Press
NEW YORK Mark David Chapman,
who admitted killing former Beatle John
Lennon last winter outside the musician's
home here, is to be sentenced today after
a hearing that will focus on his mental
state. '
Chapman, a 26-year-old former mental
patient described as a "born-again"
Christian, an avid Beatles fan and ama
teur guitarist, rejected his lawyer's advice
and pleaded guilty June 22 to the shoot
ing, saying he was following God's in
structions. At that time, acting Justice Dennis Ed
wards indicated he would sentence Chap-
ga
man to no more than 20 years to life in
prison, and that if he decided to impose a
stiffer sentence he would allow Chapman
to withdraw his plea.
The maximum sentence for second-degree
murder is 25 years to life in prison,
and the minimum is 15 years to life.
Lennon, 40, was killed the night of
Dec. 8 as he and. his wife, Yoko Ono,
were entering their home in the exclusive
Dakota apartment building on Central
Park West.
Chapman, whom authorities said
traveled from his home in Honolulu ex
pressly to kill Lennon, was arrested
minutes after he pumped four .38-caliber
bullets into the popular singer.

Police said that earlier that day the
killer had asked Lennon to autograph a
copy of his last album and that Lennon
did so.
At the sentencing hearing set for 9:30
a.m. in State Supreme Court, defense
lawyer Jonathan Marks is expected to call
psychiatrists to testify about. Chapman's
mental condition.
Assistant District Attorney Allen
Sullivan does not plan to call witnesses.
ine neanng was expected to be brief.
Marks, whose plan to use. an insanity
defense at Chapman's trial was scuttled
by his client's decision to plead guilty,
said Friday he also will renew his pre
viously denied motion to toss out the
plea, on grounds Chapman was mentally
incompetent when he entered it.
But Marks said he did not expect the
judge to grant the motion. Marks, who
has called Chapman "sick" and "ob
sessed," said he does not know if his
client was competent when the plea was
entered but "I'm simply raising the ques
tion." .
