Low voter turnout expected
Elections for 2 GGG positions held today
By CHARLES ELLMAKER
Staff Writer ' -
Elections will be held today for Campus Governing
Council District seats 6 and 22.
W.M. "Doc" Droze, a junior journalism and English
major from Hfton, Ga., and Gwen Hailey, a junior
political science major from Greensboro, are running for
the District 22 seat, an undergraduate off-campus dis
trict including Kingswood, Royal Park and the Villages
apartments.
Otis Speight, a medical student from Carrboro, is the
only candidate ninning for the District 6 seat, a
graduate, medical and nursing school district.
Stan Evans, Elections Board chairman, said he ex
pected only about 200 students to vote today. Last fall,
only about 150 people voted, he said.
Evans said a low voter turnout was not unusual during,
the fall elections because the elections were, by nature,
"smaller and less publicized.
"Over the past two years more people have been com
ing out for the campus elections," Evans said. "Unfor
tunately, there's been a lot less ' publicity for this
election" because the Elections Board members were not
selected until about a week and a half ago, he said.
"We really ran ourselves around to get ready for it,"
he said. "I'd really be happy if we had more than 200
turn out."
Asked why there was only one graduate student run
ning for District 6, Evans said that even in the spring
election graduate student apathy ran high. Last spring,
out of eight graduate students districts, five had no can
didates, he said. The 16 undergraduate districts had can
didates for all but one district, however.
Election results should be announced about two hours
after the polls close at 5 p.m., Evans said, Each of the
ballots must be verified before being counted for a can
.didate, he said.
The polls will be open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Chamber of Commerce proposes bus fare hike
By LYNDA THOMPSON
Staff Writer
The Greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber of Commerce last month made
three recommendations concerning the
local bus system, including a proposal to
increase the transit fares. The recom
mendations were made in anticipation of
cuts in federal operating subsidies.
A letter released by the chamber of
commerce recommended an increase in
bus fares particularly during peak
hours with an increase from 50 cents to 60
cents.
' The proposed rate increase, however,
was called inappropriate by UNC student
government Town Relations committee
chairman Frank Hirsch.
"I'm not certain an increase is war
ranted," he said. "If the fares are raised I
think you will see a decrease in ridership.
Students will find alternative ways of get
ting to campus."
It was also recommended by the cham
ber that the method currently used to
figure the University's contributions to
the bus system be changed. '
R.B. Moorhead, chairman of the
chamber's Budget - Analysis committee
and Associate Dean of the School of
Public Health, said the current method
was complicated. "The recommended
change is a technical difference," he said.
"You may have to read the report five
times before you understand it. There is
an apparent inconsistency of a technical
manner. The committee felt a need to .
correct it." -
The recommended change would not
change the University's contributions by
a large amount. It is important that it is
understood for "the people's perception
of fairness," Moorhead said.
The third recommendation was an in
crease in campus parking fees, which
could cause students to increase their use
of the bus system.
The letter said: "These increases are all
designed to preserve the bus system
without having to greatly increase the
present local tax subsidy."
John Morgan, president, of the
chamber of commerce, said President
Reagan was planning to cut out federal
subsidies in the budget, forcing funding
back to the local level.
"It is not official that there will be in
creased campus rates it has only been
raised as one possibility. The letter is an
abbreviated form of the report,"
Moorhead said.
The federal operating subsidies provide
35 percent of the buses' total operating
cost, according to the chamber's report.
Operating revenues, made up of fares and
bus passes, provide less than 30 percent
of Chapel Hill's total operating costs.
This is well below" the average operating
revenue of other bus system in the U.S.,s
which is 43 percent the report said.
Chapel Hill ranks fifth among North
Carolina bus systems for operating
revenues. According to the report, for a
12-month period ending December 31,
1981, Charlotte's system had the highest
revenues with , $3,745. Winston-Salem
followed with $1,159, Raleigh with $1,211,
Durham with $975 and Chapel Hill with
$538.
Morgan said: "The transit system
became a big item in the local budget and
because of Reagan's cutback. The
members of the chamber began looking
for opportunities of improvement. The
budget committee has been looking into
the situation for the past six to seven
months.
"The committee has been compli
mented by the town manager and other
townspeople," he said. "The report is
now in the hands of the University and
we are waiting for them to come forth
before we decide where to go' from here."

policy stat
es
By JOSEPH BERRYHILL
Staff Writer
Local businesses who solicit on the
UNC campus are violating a University
policy, although they may not know it.
Most , of the violators of the seven-month-old
solicitation policy have been
the fast-food delivery services, said Jim
Ptaszynski, acting associate director of
residence life for University housing. -
Domino's Pizza, Pizza Transit
Authority, Roman Wings, Pizza Hut
and Chicken Express had violated the
policy in the past, he said.
Kenneth Howell, owner of University
Pizza Service and Chicken Express, was
passing out flyers in Cobb dormitory last
Tuesday when a resident assistant asked
him to leave.
"It's not the first time that has hap
pened,". Howell said. "My drivers have
been thrown out of Cobb and other
dorms on campus."
The policy which Howell and his
drivers violated was issued by the
Chancellor's office in March, and
governs the use of physical facilities at
UNC.
The , policy states that, "except as ,
herein provided, nonaffiliated in
dividuals and groups are prohibited "
from canvassing, selling, offering for
sale, soliciting or promoting the sale of
any goods or services on University
premises."
"Nonaffiliated" refers to individuals
and groups that are not defined as a
University administrative unit, or which
are not established or recognized by the
Chancellor, w'.'. -"; " : -
"The reason for the policy is to pre
vent people from using pressure tactics
or bothering students," Ptaszynski said.
"The whole policy is for the protection
of students."
If a business is illegally soliciting, then
"an RA, student or anybody can ask
them to stop," Ptaszynski. said. If the
businessman continues soliciting in the
residence hall, the RAs are instructed to
contact an area director or the campus
police, he added.
CobbJoyner Area Director Gina
Tonge said solicitation in the dormi
tories was a problem.
"It is somewhat of a problem because
those people in the buildings are a cap
tive t audience," she said. "We .try to
catch it whenever we can and we tell the
RAs to escort them (the solicitors) out."
Howell complained that the Universi
ty's solicitation policy was confusing.
"They're (the University) restricting
, my business and I wouldn't be so mad if
they would restrict everyone else's too,"
he said.
, Other merchants say the policy has
not been enforced until now.
"There has always been a no
soliciting rule," said Tom Resler,
manager of PTA. "But we were allowed
to drop off ads that hung on doors
because the policy was never enforced.
Several businesses did it."
Resler said that PTA had cooperated
with the policy this year.
"We have done it (solicited) in the
past," said Dave Wood, manager of
Domino's Pizza. "But we don't do it
anymore after the University told us
not to."
But Ptaszynski said University hous
ing had not altered the policy's enforce
ment. "We're not enforcing it any dif
ferent this year," he said. "This is the
way it has always been done."
"We adhere to the rules as far as
distribution (goes)," said Alan Hensley,
district manager of Pizza Hut. "We
leave our ads in the lobby and do not go
door-to-door in the dorms."
Sai Vitali, co-owner of the chicken
delivery service Roman Wings, said she
was unaware that the University had a '
policy prohibiting solicitation in the
dorms.
"We have done it," Vitali said. "It's
really the only way a new business can
get going." She added that she had not
received any notice from the University
administration about the policy.
While commercial businesses are pro
hibited from soliciting or selling on cam
pus, they are allowed to deliver to the
dormitories because of prior consent
from the student, Ptaszynski said.
"A business can deliver if asked," he
said. "But if a deliveryman has extra
pizzas he can't go door-to-door selling
them."
' But political and relUious groups are
not restricted by the Chancellor's policy,
and can solicit anywhere on campus.
James Cansler, associate vice
chancellor for student affairs, said that
the Chancellors policy distinguished
between : the :sale i of merchandise and
ideological material.
"Anyone can : pass out or sell
ideological ' material with no permission
from the University,' he said.
Cansler also said that the policy per
mitted student organizations to sell on
campus in fund-raising efforts. Such a
fund-raiser "may be conducted jointly
with a business, he added.
But the policy stipulates that the
organization be University-affiliated,
obtain a permit at the Carolina Union
and limit sales to the Pit area. The per
mits are given to an organization only
once a semester.
University-affiliated groups are also
allowed to go . door-to-door in the
residence halls with a permit from the
residence life office in University hous
ing, Ptaszynski said.
"But the affiliated groups must be
collecting money for charity and 100
percent of the money must go to
charity," he said.
The Chancellor's policy on the use of
UNC facilities was based on a 1953
Board of Trustee policy which states
that no solicitation is allowed on cam
pus, except for the UNC Student Stores,
Cansler said.
The Student Stores are allowed to
solicit on campus because they "provide
a service to the University and the com
munity and must do all its selling on
campus," Cansler said.
"By and large, I think it (the policy) is
working fairly well," he said.
But Nora Reavis, an RA in Cobb
dormitory, said she had to ask a solicitor
to leave the dormitory last Friday. "I
asked him if he had a permit," she said.
"But he didn't, so I had to ask him to
leave twice because he was trespassing."
She said she called the assistant manager
of the restaurant when the solicitor did
not leave.
University housing is checking into
possibly enforcing the' policy with more
''stringent measures," Ptaszynski said.
"We're presently consulting within
the University to find out our options,"
he said. ' ' ,
UNC party listed
among
top college sex scandals
By DANE HUFFMAN
Staff Writer
UNC has gotten a lot of coverage in national
magazines with high-ranking football and
basketball teams, but now the October issue of
Penthouse magazine has dubbed a 1979 UNC
fraternity party one of the nation's top 10 col
lege sex scandals.
In an article detailing collegiate sex scandals
since 1959, author Richard O'Connor listed
the Dec. 2, 1979 Christmas party between
UNC's Zeta Psi fraternity and the Alpha
Omicron Pi sorority at Duke as the first scan
dal. But some people, including the current
1 president of the AOPis and a former UNC In
. terfraternity Council official, said the story
was sensationalized.
"It's got to be sensationalist, otherwise you
wouldn't buy the magazine,' said senior
Allison Massey, president of the AOPi, soro
rity at Duke.
O'Connor said he heard about the Zete par
ty through UNC graduates living in New
York, and flew down to North Carolina to in
terview two former Zetes who had been "very
open. Tremendously so." He added, "I wish
all my interviews (for the article) went that
way." 0'. ''.'-.
O'Connor said he listed "the UNC scandal
first in his article because he was able to get the
most information on it, and talked with peo
ple from both sides..
O'Connor only talked with participants in
three of the 10 stories, relying mainly on
reports of the incidents for the others.
For his story on the Zete party, O'Connor
used back issues of The Daily Tar Heel, and
talked with two Zetes and the former president
of the AOPis.
O'Connor said he had not spoken much to
the current members of the fraternity, but
concentrated on talking to former Zetes who
had been at the party. "They had little bearing
on the story," he said. "We were trying to
deal with the isolated incidents."
Zeta Psi president Frank Holding refused to
comment on the article. "I think that this is
what our fraternity has decided,"- Holding
said. "We feel it is in our best interests just to
leave it af no comment."
At the time of the party, the AOPis were a
new sorority at Duke that had just been colT
onized that September. According to O'Con
nor's article, the girls arrived at the Zete house,
on Cameron Avenue for a Christmas party,
and were greeted by a Christmas tree deco
rated with condoms and tampons and with
Kotex boxes around its base.
The sisters were also knocked down,
sprayed with water and and one sister-had a
bag of manure thrown in her lap, the Pent
house article stated. The sisters were unable to
leave the house because the doorknobs had
been removed from the inside of the doors, it
stated.
"It was disgusting what they did to us,"
then-AOPi president Kathy Rauth was quoted
as saying in the article. "It's a shame nothing
was done about it, a real shame."
But Rauth, would not comment on the arti
cle. "I've had enough of it," she said in a
telephone interview from Pennsylvania.
According to Fred Schroeder, director of
the UNC Department of Student Life, the
University withdrew recognition of the Zeta
Psi chapter on Feb. 28, 1980, for not less than
three years.
- The University also recommended to the ex
ecutive committee of the Zeta Psi national
fraternity that the committee close the chapter
for three years, after which the University
would consider allowing the Zetes to recolo
nize. But the Zeta Psi executive committee did
. not close the fraternity, and since the land and
house'are owned by the Zeta Psi national or
ganization, the University could not take any
further steps.
Schroeder said Monday that no decision
had been made about reinstating the Zeta Psi
recognition, but if they did apply for Univer
sity recognition, a decision would be made at
that time.
The Zetes have pledged students since the
party, and are also mixing with UNC sororities
this year.
By losing University recognition, the fra
ternity lost the right to petition for student
fees, the ability to use University facilities as a
group and the right to represent itself as hav
ing any connection with the University.
In the article, O'Connor quoted one of the
former Zetes as saying, "In no way did the
party live up to normal standards. Hell, com
pared to most year, that party was like a boy
scout meeting."
"If that was a quote made by a representa
tive of the fraternity at this time, then I think
you can let the actions speak for themselves,"
Massey AOPi president said. "If that frater
nity at this time still condones" actions like
that, I don't find that acceptable."
O'Connor said the Zetes he had talked with
seemed to have no regrets about having the
party. In the article he called one Zete "unre
pentant." "In retrospect, perhaps they may have
realized that they pulled their shennanigans on
the wrong group of girls," O'Connor said in a
telephone interview from New York. "These
