4The Daily Tar HeelFriday, September 11. 1981 CFA comimct diflm CamrlboFo . - JL KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Who will finally emerge victorious in the struggle for control of football television between the NCAA and the College Football As sociation has become. tougher than ever to predict. The CFA, most figure, admitted weak ness Wednesday by moving the deadline for final declaration on its separate TV pact from Sept. 10 to Sept. 18. The 61 CFA schools had been told since July they would have three weeks, or until Sept. 10 to change the ballot they cast Aug. 21. The vote to adopt the CFA television plan with NBC was 33-20 during a meeting in Atlanta, and 31 votes were needed. Then, from all appearances, CFA sup-. port began eroding. Last week, the Big Eight, Southeastern and Atlantic, Coast. Conferences said they were withholding final decisions on adopting the NCAA or Bi oc pick up By LYNN PEITHMAN DTH Staff Writer Carolina Athletic Association- President Steve Theriot said Thursday that ticket distribution for the season's first football game went well, although there was a mix-up in the distribution of bloc-seating tickets. Through a new token system, group members must present a token unique to their group to pick up tickets. This week the ushers mistakenly collected the tokens as they gave out the tickets. r ' . Theriot attributed the mix-up to the fact that the CAA was so busy making sure that the students understood the system, that it didn't make sure the ushers understood as well. Approximately 20 to 25 percent of the dorm and miscellaneous groups used the token system, which Theriot said was "a pretty good number for the first game." He didn't think any fraterni ties or sororities used the system. Some groups came up with unique ideas for tokens. One floor 1 ! fa v 0 1981, Jos the CFA package to give the NCAA a chance to call a special convention to re organize its top football division. The SEC, perhaps the most pivotal: conference involved, reportedly took a private vote that was 9-1 in favor of the NCAA, with only Georgia, whose presi dent is also president of the CFA, holding out. . . , Tuesday afternoon, the NCAA called the special convention for the week of Dec. 6. But at the same time three of the CFA's most prestigious schools Texas, Okalahoma, and Georgia filed class action suits against the NCAA. The University of Texas got a tempo rary restraining order from a state court in' Austin prohibiting the NCAA from initiating or threatening sanctions against CFA schools going with the NBC deal.

Although the CFA says no, the switch raises the question of whether, the date was changed because the CFA thought it was about to lose. NBC has to have vir tually all the top CFA schools to make its four-year contract worth the $180 million the network is paying for it. Some observers say the CFA is trying to buy time to rework its NBC contract, which in many ways might be more re-s strictive than the NCAA's with ABC and CBS. "It's more restrictive than the NCAA plan because, under the NBC contract, they're bound to make their games a vailable for telecast if NBC picks them. That's not true under the NCAA arrangement," one attorney said. with tokens in Morrison, Theriot said, used a deck of playing cards with an unusual design on the back. A few groups had laminated their tokens as he had suggested. "These are meant to be kept the whole season." "I was pleasantly surprised with the number that was picked up," he said. Approximately 75 to 80 percnet of all bloc tickets were picked up. The remaining tickets went for individual dis tribution on Wednesday. Only two or three groups had many tickets left in their blocs, which is an improvement, over last year. Theriot said he would call groups that did riot pick up 75 percent, of their tickets and "try to work with them to find a better forecasting method of the number of tickets needed to reserve." If an excess of tickets becomes a recurring problem for a group, it will not be allowed to reserve bloc seats he said. "I don't think the piracy problem (of bloc tickets) this time was as bad as it was last year,'' Theriot said. "Blocs become more attractive towards the end of the season, so groups should start using the token system now." ," .v;v.v. . -W. vy .-. .v " picked Schliiz Because of Carrboro's dispute over the results of the 1980 U.S. Census count, another count, authorized by the N.C. General Assembly, began Thursday. ' The results of the count will be used only on the state level and will not affect the federal count. North Carolina must officially adopt the figures, which are its criteria for distributing state-shared revenue, by Oct. 15. Town officials hope the new count will show that Carrboro has more than 10,000 residents rather than the 8,083 found in the 1980 census. ; The difference could bring the town $ 1 00,000 more in state Voter registration for fall Voter registration for new residents began on Sept. 8 and is scheduled to continue through Oct. 5 for the Nov. 3 Chapel Hill and Carrboro municipal elections.
