4flThe Daily Tar HeelFriday. December 4, 1981 etltWMWl ar EouthemMeM mere use By LYNN KARLEY IH II Slaff Wriler Student Government and the Residence Hall Associa tion have passed the halfway mark in their efforts to get 10,000 signatures on petitions questioning a proposed Southern Bell rate increase. By Wed., 5,132 people had signed the petitions, said Barbara Palmer, chairperson of the Housing Commit tee. About 100 petitions are still circulating. The students ask the North Carolina Utilities Com mission to investigate Southern Bell's move to increase connection charges from $15.20 to $56.65. Southern Bell also wants to increase monthly rates by $4.45. ' The Utilities Commission must approve the proposed increases for these changes to take effect. The commis sion begins hearings on the issue Dec. 14, Palmer said. A public hearing scheduled for Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Dobbs Building in Raleigh. Southern Bell will start its testimony Dec. 15-18. Then the hearings will adjourn for Christmas and resume on Jan. 6. , V"-'; ' " " Student Body President Scott Nor berg, RHA Presi dent Robert Bianchi and Palmer said they would present the petitions and statements on students concerns to the Floor t aimer wins By SHERRY BOLES DTH Staff Writer It was a winning season at Kenan Sta dium for Harry Hayes and second floor Granville West. With an undefeated re cord of 5-0, Hayes and his team of artists swept away the first-place prize for every banner contest this year during Carolina's home football games. "I don't exactly know how we did it," Hayes said. "I guess it was understanding the judges and what they were looking for." Hayes, who did the art designs repre- . senting second floor Granville West, is a junior journalism and radio, television and motion pictures major from Cherryville. The banner contest, sponsored and judged by the UNC cheerleaders, award ed a keg of Stroh's beer for the best ban ner at each home game. Co-captain Ted Hopkins said the . cheerleaders judged on artwork, original ity of theme and how well the illustration matched the theme. Hayes said he designed the artwork but other residents of second floor helped with the painting. "I remember one I did almost entirely by myself," Hayes said, "and another where almost 20 people helped." Some of the winning themes on his banners included "The Eagle Has Land ed" for the Boston College game, "For Your Spies Only" for the ECU game and "Col, Crum's t Carolina, Fried Chicken.'' for the South1 Carolina' ganie-'against'the F Gamecocks. ! . Utilities Commission shortly after Christmas break dur ing the hearings. r Southern Bell divides its requests into two areas, Bian chi said. "There are two things they're asking for an increase in the service ordering charge and also an increase in the central office charge," Bianchi said. The telephone company wants to increase the service ordering charge to $41.25 and the central office charge to $20.75. . These figures add up to $62.00 but a mass sign-up credit of $5.35 given to each student would lower the in crease to $56.65. Bianchi sent a letter to Mike Carson, district manager for Southern Bell, asking whether the mass sign-up credit could be increased. . Carson's reply said the $5.35 credit was calculated on the labor saved by not having to talk with individual students. Southern Bell uses the connection cards to deal with student phone hook-ups on a group basis. "(The credit) is not for some type of machinery," Bianchi said. "It's for the actual labor." Student Government and RHA contend that students in on-campus housing are charged too much for the amount of service they receive. "Specifically for residence halls, the services (Southern Bell) performs for the increases they're asking for they just aren't nearly worth it," Palmer said. Southern Bell bases its charges on a statewide average, Palmer said. The company averages the costs for services performed across the state. Southern Bell breaks down the service ordering charge and the central office charge into major divisions, with subdivisions. "There're very few phones anywhere that all this is done," Bianchi said. "They figure on the average charge but I feel that we're getting less than the average service." Carson said, "I can understand the point of view as it affects students only, but, if we gave those in the dorms a break on connection service and gave other people breaks on connection service not because of anything the individual has done then we would have to turn around and penalize someone else." Norberg said the rate increase would affect students in on-campus housing more than other subscribers. "Here the great majority of the student body has to have their phones hooked up at least once a year. Students incur the costs over and over again." Carson said Southerr Bell had kept its prices lower than other commodities. "Prices in a competitive environment are driven closer to costs," Carson said.

W'-'W- Banner took first place ... design created by Harry Hayes Although his stadium record is spot less, Hayes did suffer one defeat at a Granville banner contest when his "Put a Tiger Under Your Tank" Clemson ban ner lost to "Curiosity Killed the Cat," designed by Nick Demos and representing third floor Granville West. "I wasn't too upset," Hayes said, "be cause our same banner won at the sta dium." Hayes said it was tempting to follow se cond floor's tradition of entering one dis tasteful banner each year. "We were thinking of some really crude things we could do for the game against the Gamecocks," he said. "But we decided instead to go for an un blemished record and we did it!" Hayes' final banner for the year will travel to the UNC-Arkansas Gator Bowl game December 28 in Jacksonville, Fla. The Arkansas mascot is a razorback. Chances are, if there's any competition I down In Florida, it will be between ban ners and Hayes will win again. By JIM WRINN DTH Staff Writer The shootings of five Communist Workers Party members and the acquittal of the six Klansmen and Nazis charged with the killings was a government con spiracy, said members of a panel discus sion before a UNC audience Tuesday night. "I really don't have any qualms about calling it a conspiracy," said panelist Liz Wheaton, author of several articles about the Nov. 3, 1979 killings in Greensboro. Wheaton said the Greensboro police recruited former FBI informant Ed Daw son to infiltrate the Klan and arranged for the Klansmen and Nazis to attend the CWP demonstration. "Without Dawson's help and that of the Greensboro police, it is possible that (the shootings) wouldn't have taken place," Wheaton said. "This represents an attack against each and every one of us," Wheaton said. "I don't see how anyone can deny the fact that further investigation is needed." Wheaton said the Justice Department had been slow to investigate the con spiracy theory and added, "According to this Justice Department, our own civil rights are dependent on the whims of the local police department." Wheaton also said Congress should in vestigate the Justice Department's "foot dragging" investigation, why the agency began investigating CWP members rather than Nazis after the incident and why no special prosecutor was appointed for the Klansmen and Nazis' trial. H.M., Michaux Jr., district attorney at the time of the trial, said, "The city of 1 w ' mdJ llir wTcK21r'n A ..nil I ll I 1 ..I mi l HI HlW J - ".1 nMs?lrJ.

Alburns and tapes available at the Record Bar Greensboro issues a permit for CWP to hold a parade on Nov. 3, 1979. The city gave protection of freedom. The Klans men and Nazis interfered with the process of government and encroached on the civil rights of the CWP members." Michaux said although the Justice De partment said it would make recommen dations last May concerning criminal pro secution of civil rights violations, it had never done so. "But 1 believe there's a basis for federal prosecution," Michaux said. Michaux said he recommended prose cution of the Klansmen and Nazis on the basis of their interruption of the city's performance and violation of CWP member's civil rights. Carolyn McAllaster, attorney for the $8 million civil rights suit filed on behalf of CWP survivors, said several discrep encies in the trial merited further investi gation. "We have evidence that Bernard Butkovich (a U.S. Treasury agent) of fered explosive to the Klan," McAllaster. said. McAllaster also said the district attor-, ney refused to allow the appointment of a special prosecutor to the case when such a 'move was considered normal. McAllaster, speaking about the civil rights suit, said, "It is based on the vio lation of the most fundamental civil rights, a violation of the right to life, liberty, equal protection and assembly." John Erwin, vice president of the NAACP's Greensboro chapter, said a petition was being circulated which asked the Justice Department for "a full and. thorough prosecution of all those re sponsible for the November 3rd murders." Erwin said the petition was to be de livered to the Justice Department by a delegation on Dec. 14. "We have a concerned group of peo ple," Erwin said. "We feel that we need to show Greensboro first and then the world that we are concerned, that these people were not protected." fiirvival kits offer relief from exams By DAVE KRINSKY DTH &aff Writer ' ; With final exams next week, the number of scowling and frowning faces on campus will increase noticeably. But a bright glimpse of sunshine may still find its way into a forlorn heart and a muddled mind. This gleam of light can come in the form of exam survival kits, which are offered by private businesses and a student organization. The Order of the Bell Tower has sold survival kits for two years, said Harriet Morrison, president. Lynne Schachner, chairman of the survival kits program, said the kits included chips, instant hot chocolate, fresh fruits, peanuts, blue books, pencils and aspirin. They cost $6. Morrison said that the OBT sold about 1000 kits last year and expected to sell abut as many this year. , The OBT writes parents of undergraduates early in November . ,to inform them of the kits. All proceeds from the .kits are used for student, alumni and University activities sponsored by the Order. "We will be putting them (the kits) together and delivering them on Saturday," Morrison said. But if some kits cannot be delivered, trie OBT will call the recipients and have them pick the kits up. ' ' ' Birthdays etc., a private company begun by three Chapel Hill women, got the idea for exam kits when one of ihe women received a letter about kits from another company. "We started with birthday cakes and just expanded to exam kits," Edith Kelly said. " The women mail letters 3000 of them to parents of fresh men and, out-of-state students just before Thanksgiving, Kelly said. The names and home addresses of the students are found in the student directory. "We just do Chapel Hill," Kelly said. Many other companies do business in Durham and Raleigh or even nationwide. The kits are delivered to the student's room and can be delivered on a specific date, if requested. Student Services, a Massachusetts company, sells survival kits for $9.60. B John Walters, company campus representative said he had received 652 orders for iits being4elivered Thursday and today. Walters said he sent a student directory to the company, which advertises in Chapel Hill as the Student Rescue Commit tee. The company sends letters to students' parents, from whom Walters receives the orders at a Chapel Hill post office box.
