The Campus Governing Council completed the
budget process in an 11 -hour meeting Saturday,
allotting 246,020 to 32 campus organizations , re
questing funds from Student Activities Fees.
Only one cut was made in the original bill, which
recommended allocations totaling $246,516: the
CGC cut the Black Student Movement's request
for the Black Ink from $8,160 to $6,000. Most of
the $2,160 cut was later added to the budgets of
other organizations.
Several CGC members wanted to cut the Black
Ink to $2,000, forcing it to become a newsletter.
"I find it ridiculous to think that we want to
spend that much to fund a newspaper for an
organization," said CGC member Dan Bryson
(District 18), who proposed the newsletter, j
But the proposal to cut the Black Ink to $2,000
failed by a vote of 7 to 12. CGC members Dana
Simel (District 22) and Mark Martin (District 15)
proposed cutting the newspaper's funding to
$6,000.
"I really think that's the best you're going to get
from this council," Simel told members of the
BSM present at the budget hearing.
"I think the project the Black Ink has to fill is a
little bit ambitious. It's unwieldy," said Finance
Committee Chairperson Charlie Madison (District
23).
"This is one issue that I have a feeling will some
day explode," said CGC member Mark Clinard
(District 20), who supported the original bill.
"Culturally, we're moving back into a time of
general unrest. The cultures are going to have to be
brought together somehow."
The CGC also cut the allotment of $250 for the
BSM to co-sponsor a Martin Luther King day with
the University, but later reallocated the money
while adding to budgets with the money from the
Black Ink cut.
Wende Watson, BSM chairperson, said the cuts
were "strange" since the BSM had already receiv
ed cuts during the Finance Committee hearings.
"I'm not sure whether that indicates that of all the
groups ours was the most inferior," she said. "I
can't think of any positive reasons for the cuts."
The issue of funding political or religious pro
grams came up only once during the meeting.
Simel proposed cutting the BSM Gospel Choir's
travel allocation to $300 to be used by the choir on
ly when it was not performing in a church. Her
proposal failed by a vote of 5-14-1.
The possible political aspects of 1both the
Association of Women Students and the Carolina
Gay Association were debated during Finance
Committee hearings for both groups, but the
political question never arose during the final hear
ing. There was no debate on the AWS budget,
which was approved by a vote of 17-2-1.
But the CGA budget was debated at length.
Several members said the CGA's function could
easily be taken over by the Sexual Education
Counseling Service. Calling the CGA a "social
organization," Martin proposed it not be funded.
"It does not deserve funding because it is
something for them to get together to prove they
have each other," he said.
CGC member Dennis Bartels (District 10) sug
gested the council put aside its personal views
when voting on the CGA budget. The budget was
approved with a vote of 14-7-2. After it had gone
through each budget, the council added $196 to
the CGA budget for Gay Awareness Week.
Other programs debated were the Executive
Branch's Project Uplift and the Carolina Course
Review. Both programs were funded in full. The
Executive Branch budget was the second-largest
funded by the CGC at $49, 120.
The largest budget, that of Student Legal Ser
vices, passed with a vote of 18-1 without argu
ment. The SLS budget totals $62,430.

Groups receiving additional money after the
budgets had been reviewed were: CGA, $196;
AWS, $50; Cellar Door, $300; BSM, $250, and
The Phoenix, $1,318.
The Phoenix was also allotted the original
$13,156 as recommended by the Finance Commit
tee. CGC member Phil Painter (District 19) pro
posed not funding the student publication. "I
think what we're doing by cutting its funding in
half is slowly killing it. I think we'd be more fair if
we funded it completely or not at all," he said.
Former Phoenix editor Thomas Jessiman, who
was at the hearing, said the paper would try to con
tinue as a weekly publication. "We can make a run
of it," he said.

budget cuts and their effects on student aid at UNC.

The federal administration plans to reduce spending
for student financial aid by 50 percent during the next
two years, causing a growing sense of alarm among
students, educators and administrators.
Colleges and universities across the nation will be
dramatically affected by these cuts, and students have
expressed concern with speeches, rallies, letter-writing
campaigns, protest marches and lobbying.
In response to the educational community's protests,
President Ronald Reagan has said the "truly needy"
would still receive aid. The cuts are designed to reduce
the waste which has crept into programs over the years
since federal aid for students began with the GI Bill after
World War II, administration officials have said.
There also have been accusations by administration
officials that the America's youth have come to expect
Uncle Sam to finance their way through college.
Treasury Secretary Donald T. Regan said such an at
titude must not prevail, and that students and their
families will have to divert family budget dollars away
from luxuries and toward education expenses.
Educators agree with the concept of "tightening our
belts," but not to the extent which the administration
proposes."
In reaction to the proposed cuts, UNC President
William C. Friday travelled to Washington several weeks
ago to lobby against the cuts. He addressed a House sub
committee saying, "policy on student aid is about t6 be
changed, and not enough is being said about it."
Friday explained that the country's higher education
institutions were the source of the country's leaders and
decision-makers. Curtailing students' ability to attend
college would only damage society as a whole, he added.
In the 1950s, there was a great cry to "catch up" with
the Soviets, Friday said. In response, America's univer
sities formed a partnership with the federal government,
he said. Since that time, the government has increasingly
supported students through college, Friday said.
Higher education already has absorbed cuts that are
necessary for the recovery of the economy, but these new
cuts are in "established, ongoing programs involving
hundreds of thousands of young people," Friday said..
He also expressed concern about the effect the cuts
would have on minoriiv students since ouM be the
this sort.
In 1961 a national fallout program was
begunrcrfiftd spaces in existing buildings
which would provide radiation resistance,
Clanahan said. Since the 1960s, however,
the program has become very low-keyed.
Each summer, college students are hired
to inspect old shelters and to find possible
new spaces which would offer adequate
protection, he said. Any underground
area with earth surrounding all its sides
and top would constitute a sufficient
shelter.
"If the shelter has enough heavy
material to shield radiation, it is an ade
quate shelter," he said. "And the old
ones are just as good today as they ever
were."
Clanahan said the food supplies put in
the shelters in the 1960s spoiled and had
to be destroyed. "It's up to individual
counties whether to restock the food sup
plies or not," he said. "In most places
people would be expected to bring their
own food and water."
The problem involves the shelters being
located in high-risk areas because the fall
out areas do not provide blast protection,
only radiation protection, Clanahan said.
Because of the high cost of blast shelters
there are none in the United States, he
said. The Federal Emergency Manage
ment Agency would like to see blast
shelters constructed throughout the
United States but at a $100 billion cost
the plan would not be feasible. "It simply
isn't going to happen," he said.
The Crisis Relocation Program being
set up by the Federal Emergency Manage
ment Agency could save almost as many
lives as blast shelters, Clanahan said.
Crisis relocation would mean moving
people from high-risk urban areas to low
risk areas outside the cities. Clanahan
said he expected full completion of the
program by the end of 1986. The only
problem with relocation would be time.
He said it could take 48 hours to a week
to relocate everyone in some urban areas.
A missile can travel from the Soviet
Union to the United States in 30 minutes,
he said. But he also stressed the crisis pro
bably would be brewing for about four
days to a week which would give the
American people time to move. "We
wouldn't relocate people unless the
enemy did first, however," he said.
Areas of high risk in the United States
are divided into two categories, a
spokesman from the Defense Department
said. Missile silos, which are located
mostly in the West, Strategic Air Com
mand bomber bases located across the
United States and ballistic missile sub
marine ports are of primary strategic im
portance, he said. The next areas most
vulnerable to attack are oil refineries and
important industrial and economic cities
of 50,000 or more people, he said.

cuts cause concern
hardest hit by the cuts.
"The proposed reduction in student financial aid will
have an especially devastating impact on minority
students and will jeopardize all that we have done and
aspired to do in increasing access to higher education op
portunities for minority Americans," he said.
Both the Senate and the House have since passed a
continuing resolution bill which would maintain close-to-present-level
spending for aid into the 1982-83
academic year.
Harold Wallace, vice chancellor for University affairs,
expressed concern not only over the fiscal implications
of the cuts, but over the philosophical affects they may
bring.

Senate to debate defense budget
WASHINGTON (AP) Congressional opponents of President Reagan's pro
posed military buildup will have an opportunity to put a major dent in the program
Monday when the Senate begins consideration of a $180.2 billion defense
authorization bill. ;
Floor debate over the weapons measure, which authorizes money for the 1983
fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, is likely to focus on the MX missle, the B-l bomber
and two Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carriers, along with a host of less expensive
items.
Business failures at 49-year peak
WASHINGTON (AP) The recession and high interest rates are forcing
businesses to close at the fastest pace since the Great Depression," and economists
say the waye of failures may worsen in the months ahead.
Figures compiled by Dun & Bradstreet, a leading financial reporting service,
show 6,205 companies failed in the first 14 weeks of 1982, a 56 percent increase
from the corresponding period in 1981. The current rate ol failures, equai 10 oj pci
10,000 businesses, is the highest since 1933, when the failure rate hit 100 per 10,000.

"We have spent years trying to reshape the aspirations
of the youth from the underprivileged sector of society,
both black and white," he said. "Many, who would
never have dreamt of attending college before now fully
expect to go."
But progress is fragile, Wallace said. Just when this
group in society is becoming used to the idea that they
can attend college, the entire nation is sending out
signals to these youngsters that they should not go, he
said.
"We have told these teens that they will not be able to
go to college and I don't just mean the administration,
but society as a whole," he said. "We have condoned
the prospect of decreased educational opportunity by
allowing the first round of cuts to pass. That base of
aspiration may be destroyed, whether or not the funding'
levels are sustained."
The phasing out of Social Security funds for college
students amounting, to about $2 billion already has
been passed by Congress.
Under the administration's proposals, need-based aid
would be cut by 49.1 percent by 1984, declining from
$3,529 billion in 1981-82 to $1,798 billion in 1983-84.
Pell Grants, formerly Basic Education Opportunity
Grants but renamed for Sen. Clairborne Pell, D-R.I.
two years ago, would drop from this year's level of
$2,346 billion to a low of $1.4 billion in 1983-84.
Pell, ranking Democrat on the Senate education sub
committee, wrote letters to other Senators, urging them
to reject the president's proposal to cut $900 million
from the program. The cuts "would have a very adverse
effect upon millions of young Americans who dream of
completing higher education," Pell said. If the cuts were
passed, 1.1 million students 40 percent of those cur
rently receiving the grants would not be eligible for
the grants by 1983T84, he said. He has proposed that $2.8
billion be appropriated for the grants, thus sustaining
the number of students now receiving Pell Grants.
Needier students can obtain additional grants through
the Supplementary Opportunity Education Grants, but
under the administration's proposals, funding for those
grants would be cut by 24 percent next year and be com
pletely wiped out by 1983-84. These grants involve

Behind the three-for-four performance
of catcher Tom Daily, the UNC baseball
team blanked Duke 3-0 in their third
shutout of the year yesterday at Boshamer
Stadium.
The win was the Tar Heels' second
ACC victory in as many days Saturday
they edged a power-packed N.C. State
team 13-12 in Raleigh when Barney
Spooner scored on a ninth-inning, two
out double steal.
The team has had more than its share
of low points this season, as exhibited by
their 24-23 record. But Carolina, now
peaking in the midst of a seven-game win
ning streak, is finishing with a couple of
high spots along the road that ends with
the ACC championship here Sunday.
For the most part, the Tar Heel bats
were silent yesterday and the team relied
on the five-hit, six-strikeout pitching per
formance of freshman Scott Bankhead.
But if it wasn't for the hitting of Daily,
Carolina's win streak might have ended
at six.
In the second inning, with two outs and
right fielder Todd Wilkinson on first,
Daily pumped a Joe Seaton fastball over
the left field fence to put UNC up 2-0.
It was Daily's first ACC home run.
One reason is the team's aggressive
ness. The Tar Heels scored again in the
third when shortstop Chris Pittaro, back
,from a virus that sidelined him for the
first time in his college career,, reached
first after being hit with a pitch. Pittaro
then stole second and third, and, with the
Duke infield playing in, first baseman
Pete Kumiega lashed a single to left to
bring Pittaro in.
The Blue Devils did not really threaten
until the top of the fifth inning; With
only one out, and men on second and
third, Bankhead forced two pop outs to
end the inning.
Duke pressed again in the seventh
when catcher Tom Decker doubled. But
when first baseman Tom Amaro blooped
an apparent single to right, Wilkinson
hustled to make the shoestring catch and
then fired the ball to second to catch
Decker off base.
. But the Devils struck right back with
another double before Bankhead stopped
them on an easy grounder to third to, end
the inning.
. The win over Duke, . coupled with
State's 11-6 win over Wake Forest, gives
; Carolina a lock on second place in the
regular season standings ; The Tar Heels
will square off against Maryland at 7
p.m. Wednesday in the first round of the
ACC .tournament. Games begin at 10
a.m. at Boshamer.
