The NCR decision came at a closed meeting hours after a congressional sub committee hearing at which new questions were raised about the safety of nuclear power. NRC Chairman Nunzio J. Palladino said the vote was 4-1 to suspend the license to test the first nuclear reactor at the yet-to-be opened $2.3 billion plant. Commission member Thomas Roberts, the dissenter, said he planned to file a separate opinion. "An order suspending the Diablo Can yon license has been approved by the . commission," Palladino said after the two-hour meeting. "The commissioners are unanimous in their view that fuel loading should not take place until seis mic verification can be completed." Palladino said Roberts, who voted against the suspension, also would file a separate opinion on how the seismic veri fication would be accomplished. That is a key point because the utility that owns the plant wants to use its own consultant, but California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. is insisting on a study independent of the plant's owner. An order, spelling out the NRC deci sion in greater detail, will be sent to the plant's owner, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., NRC spokesman Joseph Fouchard said. The seismic study would be "an inde pendent audit proposed by "PG&E and approved by the commission," he said. Fouchard, asked what a suspended li cense meant, said an order outlining spe cific criteria that the plant's owners must meet would be issued. Asked if susperi- sion meant that an entire new set of pu-' blic licensing hearings would have to be held, he said, "No, it would not." Tony Ledwell, a PG&E spokesman, said the company was disappointed at the license suspension but would continue to cooperate with the NRC and was confi dent "the plant can and will be operated safely in the public interest." Earlier, Palladino told a congressional subcommittee that his confidence in the nuclear establishment's "quality assu rance" how it could guarantee atomic power plants are built safely had been clouded by his experience in 4V2 months on the commission. "After reviewing both industry and NRC past performances in quality assu rance," he said. ""I readily acknowledge that neither have been as effective as they should have been in view of the relatively large number of construction related de ficiencies that have come to light." Palladino spoke at a hearing called to focus on problems pointed up by the Diablo Canyon power plant near San Luis Obispo, Calif. At the subcommittee meeting, Palla-. dino said "a significant number" of plants other than Diablo Canyon had problems with quality assurance. aiii aMii(Bt mpt 1 ' DAMMAR. By MARK SCHOEN DTH Staff Writer The University .of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has either met or surpassed most of the minority recruitment goals set by the consent decree between the UNC sys tem and the federal government, according to a report to be presented to the Faculty Council this afternoon. According to the report, 2,740 of the fall 1981 enrollees are in-state students. A total of 1,929 enrollees are women. The admis sions office processed 11,678 applications for this fall's freshman class. Of that num ber, 987 applicants were denied admission for academic reasons; 5,167 qualified but were turned away because of quota and space limitations, and 399 applications were withdrawn.

In February, four flayers and one. alternate .will be selected jxom these eight, to -compete in regional matches at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Va. Wayne Plummer, chairman of the Carolina Union Recreation Committee, said he expected the UNC team to do well in regional play this year. "The only team we've had trouble with is David son, and we've beaten them over the past couple of years," he said. "If we don't win the regional, I'll be surprised." UNC teams have participated in College Bowl competition since it was revived on college campuses iri 1977, seven years after the College Bowl television show went off the air. Last year, the UNC team placed fifth in the regionals; in 1979, . a UNC team won the regionals and tied for third place in national competition. In College Bowl matches, two teams of four players are pitted against each other to answer questions on a variety of subjects ranging from films to physics to mixed drinks. A game lasts 14 minutes with a short halftime interval. The teams are asked tossup questions worth ten points each. When a team correctly answers a tossup question, it is asked a bonus question with a designated value.

WASHINGTON Senate Republican leaders agreed Thursday to seek $3.6 billion in new cuts from domestic programs but to spare defense in a bid to avoid a veto of legislation needed to keep the govern ment from running out of money at midnight. Without the additional spending cuts an average of 4 percent in hundreds of programs President Ronald Reagan "would undoubtedly veto" the huge emergency bill, Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker said. He said a veto, in turn, probably would force Con gress into an around-the-clock weekend session to produce a second measure that Reagan would ap prove. But with the cuts, Baker added, Reagan would put his signature on the measure needed to keep virtually the entire federal government in business. Baker predicted that the Senate would vote its ap proval later in the day for the plan, which would ex empt the Pentagon, foreign aid and benefit programs such as food stamps and Medicare from the newest round of spending reductions. A final Senate vote of the $417.4 billion legislation was expected either Thursday night or today. The bill then would return to the House, which rejected a similar plan for new cuts earlier this week. With Baker maneuvering to pass the emergency spending bill, the Senate Budget Committee sent an overall budget plan to the floor that virtually ignored changes in economic forecasts and deficit projections over the last six months. The plan, which passed without recommendation, is practically a carbon copy of a budget outline ap proved earlier this year. But at the suggestion of Sen. Lawton Chiles, D-Fla., the panel included an esti mate that, without further action to cut spending or raise taxes, the deficit in 1984 could reach $165 bil lion. For the current year, the estimate was $76 bil lion to $92 billion. The blueprint approved earlier envisioned a $37.6 billion deficit for 1982, with a balanced budget in 1984. Baker announced plans to seek further cuts in spending on domestic programs after what he was was a "rather spirited" caucus of Senate Republi cans. '' ' He declined to elaborate, but when asked about defense, said, "Almost everybody agrees we don't have any choice but to do what we can to make America strong again." Republican officials said Baker's proposal would call for average reductions of 4 percent in domestic programs. They said the president would be em powered to reduce individual programs by between 2 percent and 5 percent. According to Office of Management and Budget estimates, the additional cut of $3.6 billion would leave the measure $2.3 billion above Reagan's re quest. But Baker said that would satisfy the president if the Democratic-controlled House would go along. "If we don't make these cuts or something very close to these cuts," the president would cast the first veto of his administration, he predicted. The House rejected a cut of 5 percent across the board in domestic programs when it approved its own version of the stopgap spending bill Monday. But House Republican leaders were expected to try again. "I think there's a good chance ... we can get a bill on the president's desk he will sign," Baker said. Republicans and Democrats alike in both houses said Reagan had enough support to sustain a veto. Baker and House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, D-Mass., said that if the veto was sustained, both houses would remain in session to draft a new bill. At issue was a bill to keep almost the entire govern ment in business after existing legislation expires at midnight. The bill is necessary because except for its own operations, Congress has not yet approved any of the regular money bills for the current fiscal year, which began Oct. 1. " . . University people Powell remembers Expedition for Monitor .possible By JIM WRINN DTH Staff Writer The Civil War ironclad Monitor, resting on the Atlantic Ocean floor just off Cape Hatteras where it sank 1 19 years ago, may once again be the object of an underwater expedition, ac cording to a forthcoming Department of Cultural Resources report. Diana Lange of the Underwater Archaeology Division at Fort Fisher said Thursday that a just completed management plan would outline alternatives for the future of the vessel, which would include leaving it untouched, staging further archaeologi cal dives or possibly raising the ship intact. The Union ship, famous for its stand-off battle with the Confe derate ironclad Merrimack, sank on Dec. 31, 1862, while being towed to Beaufort. The wreck was discovered in August 1973 by Duke University researchers while on an expedition sponsored by the National " Geographic Society, the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Army Reserve. Since the initial expedition, there have been two other dives. The first, in April 1974, was a comprehensive photographic study of the wreck. The second, an August 1979 archaeological dive, recovered 106 items from the vicinity of the captains cabin, including champagne botpes, a ceramic soap dish and an. unopened relish jar, Laofe said. inc report, scheduled be released in January, will summarize the 1979 expedition's finding and will base part of its recommen dations on findings from that dive, she said. . "There are still too many tests to be done at the site before we'll know exactly what our future plans will be," she said. Lange said a tentatively planned expedition to study sediment patterns at the wreck site was scheduled for May. The knowledge of such patterns will assist in making determinations about future expeditions, she added. . Research groups wishing to study the wreck will have to sub mit proposals to the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Admin istration, which oversees the site. Once proposals are submitted, the Cultural Resources Department will assist with its approval and serve as coordinator during an expedition, Lange said. The Underwater Archaeology Division expects expeditions in 1983 and 1985. . The Monitor can be raised intact with existing technology despite its fragile condition, but the lack of money and the pro blem of the preserving of the vessel once it is raised are limiting concerns," she said. Artifacts from the Monitor have been on display in the Naval Museum in Washington, D.C., Lange said. Next spring, items recovered in the 1979 dive will be featured at exhibits in Manteo,' Fort Fisher, which is south of Wilmington, and Bogue, near Morehead City. By JANE CALLOWAY DTH Staff Writer Students today may consider Wilson Library to be in the center of campus, but when William Powell was a student in 1938, it could have been called South Campus. A history professor at the University, Powell said: "In 1938, there was nothing beyond the stadium. South Campus would have been Wilson Library." Powell said he had noticed not only physical changes at the University jsince his student days, but many others as well. "Nearly all the students lived in dorms .or in fraternity and sorority houses," the Johnston County native said, adding that not many sorority houses were needed be cause few women were students. The-women were not allowed to wear sleeveless dresses, Powell said. The wo men's dorms closed at 11 p.m. or mid night, and all of the women had to be in by then. For "coeds'' to leave for a week end, they had to have written permission. ."There were almost no cars on cam pus," he said. "Students didn't go off for the weekends. Your parents brought you down in September, and you might take the train or bus home for Thanksgiving. Then they would come to get you in December." All members of fraternities and sorori ties lived in their respective houses and had frequent formal dances "more formal entertaining." The big name bands played, like that of Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey..- " There would be a tea dance in the af ternoon, or an evening dance," he said. . "Students brought in 'imports (girls)." Men wore tails and white tie, and the women wore formal dresses. "Once a student came to my 8 o'clock class still wearing his tuxedo after a night of partying," Powell said. Attitudes about grades have also changed. "When I was a student,' we were delighted to get a C, but now every one wants an A," he said. "A C was a gentleman's grade." r Students were more relaxed about col lege because more jobs were available then, he said. , Everyone knew what the "crip" courses were in those days. "I can remember two that I took, archaeology and a political science course on the history of the law," he said. - 4 ; "I could learn more if I was relaxed. You knew you would get an A or B by just going to class." Students also went to see more movies then. Classes were over at 2 p.m., and "everyone went downtown to the movies 'Smith's 2 o'clock class.' " - Powell described faculty-student rela tionships then as "quite good." Classes rarely had more than 20 people in them, he said. "Students used to be entertained in faculty members homes," he said. The faculty would announce that they would be home, and students could drop by. "I had one professor who required stu- VilHcm Powell dents to go twice during the quarter,' Powell said. These visits were a way for the faculty to get to know students in terests and hobbies and vice versa. For those from small towns, it -was also a sort of "formal training' in social graces. Then, as now, football was a popular sport. "Everybody went to the games," he said. "On football weekends, when the train used to run behind Memorial Hall, students would take it to the away games." The feelings between Duke and Caro lina were stronger then. "Duke was the team to beat," he said. Earlier, Virginia was the one to beat, and that game was nearly always on i nanKsgiving uay. Has anything stayed the same? Powell quickly replied, "Students are still play ing volleyball in the circle at Bynum Hall."
