Ike Andrews of North Carolina's 4th congressional district Satur day, March 20. Andrews, whose district includes Chatham, Durham, Wake and Randolph counties, is a member of the House Post-Secondary Education Subcommittee. Saturday's discussion, scheduled for 1 1 a.m. in Gerrard Hall, will include statements by Andrews and student representatives, GPSF President Peter Mallinson said. A question and answer session will follow. Andrews will also be presented with a petition containing the signatures of more than 2,000 students who oppose the proposed elimination of Guaranteed Student Loans for Graduate and Pro fessional Students. Andrews declined comment on the financial aid issue. "I'm delighted to be coming to UNC," An drews said. "I want to emphasize that this is a stu dent event, not an Ike Andrews event. I wouldn't want to say anything at this point that would upstage student efforts." The week of student protests will culminate with a noon rally next Thursday in the Pit, sponsored by Student Government and the GPSF, which will include speeches by administration, financial aid and student government officials as well as testimonials from students who stand to be hardest hit by the proposed financial aid cuts, Mallinson said. Additionally, SG has initiated an undergraduate petition drive and is planning a letter-writing cam paign, Student Body President Mike Vandenbergh said. Vandenbergh said he had also drafted per sonal letters to the state's U.S. senators and con gressmen and to editors of local newspapers. "Our idea in all these efforts is to do a really good job on a few good projects," Vandenbergh said. Depending on the success of planned activities, additional events such as a "Call Your Con gressman Day" may be organized, Vandenbergh said. The activities have been scheduled to coincide with expected congressional action on proposed cuts for the 1982-83 school year, he said. Proposed cuts in "need-based" aid pro grams those based on the financial circumstances of a student and his family would decrease money available to UNC students from the current $7.6 million to $7 million, according to a report issued by the Financial Aid Office. "We've had a good increase in student loan col lections and because of that will probably be able to offset the reductions in the need-based pro grams in 82-83," said Director of Student Aid Eleanor Morris. But the report estimates that as many as 700 "needy" students would not receive aid if the cuts were approved. The Reagan administration also is proposing major changes in the Guaranteed Student Loan Program, including the elimination of GSLs for graduate arid professional students and the tightening of requirements for undergraduate students receiving the loans. "This will definitely affect enrollment drastical ly for graduate students," Morris said. "There may be some undergraduate students who would have to drop out of school for a while until they can make other financial arrangements." Proposed cuts for 1983-84 would be especially severe, reducing money available to UNC students through need-based programs to $4.6 million, Morris said. "I don't see how we could replace that three-and-a half million dollar loss." Local police crack down on drinking By LAURA SEIFERT Staff Writer With the onset of warmer weather, Chapel Hill officials expect an increase in the number of violations of the town's public alcohol consumption ordinance, Chapel Hill Police Chief Herman L. Stone said. "We still have a problem," Stone said. "But right now it's not as bad ... because of the cold weather." Stone said that somewhere between 40 and 60 people had been arrested for drinking alcoholic beverages in public since police began enforcing the law last fall. In an effort to crack- down on viola tions of the alcohol consumption or dinance, the department will increase its patrol of the problem areas, he said. "We have been planning with person nel to keep monitoring it (the public drinking) closer than we have in the past," he said. "We'll have more walking beats in the business district, fraternity court areas and any areas we've had pro blems with in the past." Stone said that many people who had been cited for violating the public con sumption ordinance were unaware of any law prohibiting drinking in public. "I've talked to a lot of students who've gotten citations who said they weren't I getting the proper information (about the ordinance)," he said. "Our intentions are not to surprise anybody." He added, however, that it was the citizen's responsibility to know the town's laws. "If the students are seen consuming beer in public they will be subject to a citation (and a $27 fine)," he said. Stone said that though the problem of drinking in public is not serious, the cir cumstances surrounding it are. "Most of the calls we receive especially at night are alcohol related," he said. "Our long-range goals of this program (stricter enforcement of the public con sumption ordinance) is to make Chapel Hill a safe and orderly place. We can only go so far.

By ALISON DAVIS Staff Writer The Campus Governing Council Student Affairs Committee has redefined its duties, listing as its major goal "to be attentive to any issues concerning relationships among students and the University," said committee chairperson Dennis Bartels. Attempting to do away with a "catch-all committee" image, the Student Affairs Committee will try to make its duties more specific by amending the portion of the CGC bylaws which ad dresses the duties of the organization. According to the present CGC bylaws, the purpose of the Student Affairs Committee is "to consider, initiate, and report all bills concerning matters for which standing committees (Finance and Rules and Judiciary committees) shall not have been established." "I'd like to see it (the Student Affairs Committee) have more contact with the students themselves," Bartels said. The committee will try to help the full CGC be more respon sive to student opinion, Bartels said. "What is bothering the students at UNC? This is a common question that arises in the Student Affairs Committee," Bartels stated in his report for the upcoming CGC newsletter. "We are elected representatives. Being such, it is our respon sibility to be responsive to student needs." Telling students what the CGC is doing is another of the com mittee's goals, Bartels said. Through letters to the editor of TTie Daily Tar Heel and the CGC newsletter, committee members are "pushing that we are there to talk to," he said. "This year's ; council seems to be much more desirous of defeating that stigma of 'who is CGC?' " Bartels, a freshman English and speech major from Battle Creek, Mich., said his biggest goal as Student Affairs Commit tee chairperson was "to be a member of the committee. "The only thing the title does is commit you to spend more time in the office as a resource person or (serve as a) liaison with other CGC committees of the executive branch (Student Government)," he said. The Student Affairs Committee has plans to address several current issues, Bartels said. These include the merger, of the zoology and botany departments, relations between students and the campus police and the proposed changes in the legal drinking age. . . Representing a wide diversity of student opinion, the commit tee consists of four graduate student members and four undergraduate members. The graduate members are: Bob Badgett (District 6), Diana Baxter (District 8), Chris Bishop (District 4) and Tony Boon (District 3). Undergraduate committee members are: Mark Clinard (District 20), Cornelius Davis (District 11) and Tony Delp (District 20). By S.L. PRICE Assistant Sports Editor Don't be surprised if that bright orange paw on the left-field fence at Boshamer begins to lose some of its radiance. The UNC baseball team, on an opposite field shot by left-fielder Shawn Dean, shocked the nationally sixth-ranked Clemson Tigers 5-4 in a blistering ten-inning At lantic Coast Conference performance at Boshamer yesterday. Behind the pitching heat of freshman Brad Powell, who put together a nine-hit, seven strikeout afternoon, the Tar Heels set up the winning run with a Jeff Hub bard hopper that just barely stayed fair on the third-base line. Shortstop Chris Pittaro moved Hubbard to second on a sacrifice bunt, and Dean cranked the Donnie Hoover of f-speed pitch to right to move Hubbard home for the winning run. "You've got to. want this," said Dean. "I was recruited by Clemson and all of a sudden they turned me off. I never knew what happened. (Clemson head coach) Wilhelm didn't feel I could play outfield in the ACQ" It's fitting that Hubbard scored the winning run; the sophomore third base man has been on a tear lately, going four-for-five yesterday, arid three-for-five the day before against Connecticut. This is Powell's first win of the year, but he had some trouble getting it in the early innings. After Dean grounded out in the bottom of the first to sacrifice in the first Tar Heel run, Clemson struck right back with a single by Jim McCollom that was stretched into a two-bagger on a throwing error by right-fielder Barney Spooner. Powell walked catcher Coe Brier and Bryan Smith singled in a run to tie it up. Tiger leadoff man Frank Russ cranked one along the third-baseline to give Clem son the lead. Then with the bases loaded, Powell walked in the third Clemson run of the inning. Then Powell, using his best pitch, his fastball, settled down, got control of his pitches and retired three Clemson batters in order in the third inning. "I went out tentative at first, but around the third I decided 'I'm not going to give up,' " Powell said. "That's the team I wanted to beat; they recruited me as a walk-on." With the score 3-1 and Powell under control, Carolina battled back in the bot tom of the third to take the lead. Spooner led off with a line shot up the middle and Hubbard bounced out to move him to second. Pittaro poked a sin gle in the hole between first and second base, and suddenly the Heels were threat ening with men on first and third. Spooner scored on another Dean sacri fice, Pete Kumiega walked, and with men on first and third, Coach Mike Roberts called for a double-steal which scored Pit taro. Designated hitter Todd Wilkinson dropped a double on the wall in left center, and it was Carolina, 4-3. 'You've got to wantthis.. I was recruited by Clemson and all of a sud den they turned me off. I never knew what hap pened. Wilhelm didn't feel I could play outfield in theACC Shawn Dean UNC left fielder No one scored again until the top of the eighth inning, when Clemson evened it up with a pair of singles. The Tigers did not threaten again until the tenth, but a perfect Pittaro-to-Mitch McCleney-to-Kumiega double play snuffed any hopes for a Clemson win. ews Briefs Bill will protect spies9 identities WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate on Thursday approved, 9f6, legislation that would make journalists and government officials criminally liable for disclos ing the identities of covert American Intelligence agents. The Intelligence Protection Act would make it a crime to identify spies, even if the information comes from public records. Sharp debate surrounded the bill, strongly supported by the Reagan administra tion and the CIA to protect agents from exposure and possible terrorist attack. But critics say the measure infringes on the First Amendment's free press protec tions, and the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups are expected to br ing court challenges. Dutch journalists die in shootout SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) Four Dutch journalists traveling with leftist guerrillas were killed in a shootout between the Salvadoran army and the rebels, the undersecretary of foreign relations said Thursday. The official, Alejandro Gomez, said the four were killed near Santa Rita in Chalatenango province on Wednesday. He said they were the same four journalists detained by treasury police March 11 for about five hours. "If there is any question about how they were killed, the army will conduct a thorough investigation," Gomez said. Washington pandas try, fail again WASHINGTON (AP) Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing, the giant pandas at Na tional Zoo, went through the motions again Thursday but with no more success than in their last six rendezvous of spring. On a grassy hillside, they had a fling at lovermaking but, zookeepers said sadly, the act was not consummated. "We did not see a proper copulation," said Dr. Robert Hoage; special assistant to the zoo's director. The director, Theodore Reed, stood by glumly, and said: "Same thing every year, isn't it?" Officials said they would give nature at least one more chance,' then turn to ar tificial insemination, probably using sperm taken from Hsing-Hsing. . W orM Fair Excitement grows as opening date draws near in Knoxvilie By KELLY SIMMONS V Staff Writer Less than two months remain before the opening of the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxvilie, Tenn. and the fairgrounds are fast becoming charged with excitement. The fair's structures are 75 to 80 per cent complete, Mary Jane Ruch, public information spokeswoman for the fair, said recently. Some of the countries par ticipating have begun to bring in parts of their exhibits but most exhibits will not be set up until the last week before the fair's opening. "The site is getting to be so col orful; every time you look at it, there's something new," Ruch said.- The fair is expected to be finished on schedule, she said. . ' - Eleven million tourists are expected to visit the fair during its six month run; that is 60,000 visitors a day. So far 110,000 season passes have been sold. The fair is expected to collect more than $400 million in revenues. Fair officials predict the fair to generate $40.2 million in tax revenues for the Federal government, $28.5 million for Tennessee, $12.1 million for Knoxvilie and Knox County and $3.7 million for surrounding local governments. Knox ville's greatest reward, however, will be real estate developments created by the fair. " . The highlight of the fair will be the 266-foot-high Sunsphere costing $5.2 million to build. The glittering gold globe of the sphere, made of 24-karat gold dust, sits atop a pedestal containing three elevators which will transport visitors to a two-level restaurant and observation decks above. From the observation decks, visitors will have a 360-degree view of the fairgrounds and the Great Smoky Mountains. Near a three-acre man-made lake across from the Sunsphere stands the United States Pavilion, a cantilevered steel and glass structure. The pavilion will be the largest at the fair, with 100,000 square feet of exhibit space. The north west plaza of the pavilion will be the stage for many of the events planned dur ing the fair, while on the other side of the, pavilion stands an enclosed theater whose i screen rises 67 feet in front of seating for an audience of 1,000. The United States Pavilion's 22-minute film on energy will be presented on the screen. Twenty-two countries have signed to participate in the fair. "Each of the coun tries are bringing unusual and outstan ding stuff," Ruch said. She said China's exhibit would include stones from the Great Wall and a 20-foot long solar powered dragon boat which will take visitors for rides on the Tennessee River. "China will probably be the most outstanding exhibit," Ruch said. The Rubik's Cube, invented by Hungarian architecture teacher Dr. Erno See WORLD on page 4 Fair should enhance N. C. tourism By KELLY SIMMONS Staff Writer During the six-month run of the 1982 World's Fair in Knox vilie, Tenn., tourists are expected to bring more than $100 mil lion into the North Carolina economy. One million of the anticipated 11 million fairgoers are ex pected to spend some time and money in North Carolina. Reser vations at motels and attractions in the western part of the state are up 100 percent already. Inquiries about accommodations in Asheville are up 86 percent over last year, Dick Trammel of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce said. The Biltmore House in Asheville already has received 40,000 tour bus reservations, a 100 percent increase from last year. . High County Host, a service organization promoting several western North Carolina counties, has reported several hundred calls a day inquiring about lodging in the area. Trammel said shuttle buses had been arranged to carry tourists from points in the Asheville area to the fair. The Boone Cham ber of Commerce has also organized a shutde bus service to take tourists from Boone to Knoxvilie. Trammel said the fair would give exposure to the western counties. "I can't help but believe once they visit this part of the country they'll want to come back," Trammel said. The fair would also result in travel revenues for North Carolina, Trammel said. For every $15,000 in travel revenues, a new job would be created. "There are long-term and short-term See FAIR on page 4
