Abbie Hoffman displays opposition for laws as pseudo-Smokey the Bear watches
... the '60s leader ate a copy of the law and illegally burned national emblems

DURHAM "Connect yourself to the murder in cities,
the rape of the wilderness, poverty and hunger. Become a
citizen of the whole world to try to make tomorrow better than
I today,'. Abbie Hoffman, the . national Yippie- leader , of the
'60s, said in a speech Wednesday night.
Speaking to a crowd of about 1,000 in Duke University's
Page Auditorium, Hoffman, who remained underground for
seven years facing a cocaine dealing charge, said that in 1980
he returned to a world of apathy and cynicism, an "ice age" of
society.
Students, in particular, Hoffman said, are not getting in
volved in protest movements.
"Students are not in the forefront today of any struggles,"
he said. "If you're thinking about keeping your nose clean and
studying hard to get a job, you're wasting your time because
there aren't any jobs out there.
"You have to change your concept of education; you have
to accept the concept of a classroom without walls. The com
munity is the classroom. . .
"You have to realize that there is more going on than
throwing up, watching 'General Hospital' and playing Pac
Man," he said. X " T":''?""
Wearing a shirt that suggested a ban of "Extra Strength
Reaganol," Hoffman described Reaganomics and multi
national corporations as the chief reason for economic
problems in the United States.
"Nixon showed us all how far the goverment would go in
lying to the American public. Reagan is showing us who it is
lying for. It is a government of the rich, by the rich and for the
rich."

campaign ads
out-ngnt;.lies
By JIM WRINN
State and National Editor
RALEIGH Rep. Ike Andrews,
D-4th District, in the last week of what he
calls the toughest campaign of his career,
asked Wednesday for t Republican
challenger Bill Cobey to end his campaign
of "distortion to out-right lies."
Andrews, speaking to reporters at
North Carolina Democratic Headquarters,
said Cobey had been using money from
the National Congressional Club and big
oil companies to run a confusing advertis
ing campaign.
"In our ads we deal with truth and his
deal with out-and-out lies," he said. "Us
ing political action money, they've been
running ads to confuse the issues.
"His campaign is devised by the Con
gressional Club, and it's been over
funded, dangerously so. It (Cobey' s cam
paign) cost almost a half a millioni, just to
run a campaign of lies and distortion.
"I'd like to get on with this campaign
that's been a non-campaign. So far it's just
been distortion to lies," Andrews said.
The incumbent congressman said
Cobey should defend his stands on issues
by holding a news conference or engaging
in a debate.
"I wish my opponent would come out
from hiding," Andrews said. "If he would
come out and debate the issues, he
couldn't be elected in this or any other
district of the United States."
He also criticized Cobey' s campaign ads
for saying Andrews is opposed to balanc
ing the federal budget and voted against
seven such measures. "The proposals put
forth to balance the budget would not
work and that's why I voted against them.
They would not balance the budget."
The recently announced $110 billion
Federal budget deficit, a record in U.S.
history, is the result of President Reagan's
1981 tax redcuctions, Andrews ' said.
"Their deficit is not because of a lack of
cuts, i They've been increasing their
expenditures and reducing their income.
"They're not the party of the balanced
budget."
He said the tax cuts were "unbalanced,
enormously favoring the rich.
Andrews said he would continue to
work for "a true balanced budget."
Andrews called himself a political
f moderate. "I realize that not all problems
are Democratic- and not all Republican--'
caused," he said.
Polls show a close race between the two
candidates, Andrews said. "I think the
election will be decided on five points dif
ference. I think the five points will be on
our side, but I don't know."
Andrews scheduled another press con
ference for Thursday. Campaign staffers
. indicated that the Democrat would bring
up specific charges that Cobey's non
profit Taxpayers Educational Coalition
was involved in illegal actions.
Cobey founded the organization in 1981
. to promote limitations on state taxing and
spending.
Andrews' campaign manager, Raleigh
lawyer Charlie Mercer, said Andrews
would make a final appearance in Chapel
Hill Saturday, speaking at the Community
Church on Purefoy Road.
For 38 private N. C. colleges
BOG may ask for change in law
concerning private school budgets
By LYNN EARLEY
Assistant State and National Editor
The UNC Board of Governors is cur
rently considering whether to ask the N.C.
General Assembly to change a law which
requires the board to review the budgets of
the 38 private colleges in North Carolina.
Board member Walter R. Davis, who
also serves on Duke University's Board of
Trustees, started the action recently at a
BOG meeting when the North Carolina
Association of Independent Colleges and
Universities presented its 1983-1985 budget
increase requests.
Davis said the law, North Carolina
General Statute 116-11 (11), created a
situation of dissension and should -be
abolished.
William C. Friday, president of the
UNC system, in a telephone interview last
week agreed that the law has created
adversary positions between the private
and public institutions.
Every two years the board is required to
review the private schools' budgets and
then recommend to the General Assembly
how they feel funds allocated to educa
tional institutions should be distributed
among private and public schools.
"I don't know whether it is fair to say
that any one thing has caused arguments,"
Friday said. "But the record is clear that
there has been unhappiness and stress over
the amount of funding."
Friday also said, and John T. Henley,
president of the N.C. Association of In
dependent Colleges and Universities,
agreed, that the BOG's recommendations
on private funding make little difference in
how the N.C. Legislature votes for private
funding, anyway.
"It (the legislature) almost uniformly
has turned down the recommendations of
the Board of Governors," he said.
"Nobody listens to them and they don't
have any authority."
Henley said, "I hate to say history
proves that.
"We haven't always gotten what we
wanted from the legislature, but I think
we've gotten more than the board recommended."
The General Assembly does consider the
board's recommendations about private
schools' funding, State Rep. Park Helms,
D.-Mecklenburg, said.
The natural disagreement over how
much funding students in private schools
should receive from the legislature causes
the dissension between private and public
schools, Jordan and Henley said.
, "I think it does cause dissension," Jor
dan . said. "The private institutions ob
viously, want more and more and more
each session." He said the BOG objects to
the private schools wanting funding with
little accountability.
"They're all North Carolina students,"
Henley said. "Rich, poor, middle class.
"A North Carolina student that wants
the chance to go to a private school should
be able to." .
The board sent the resolution calling for
the General Assembly to review the law to
the board's planning committee for fur
ther review. The board scheduled a vote
on the issue for November.
Jordan said last week that the board
showed its seriousness about the issue by
sending it to the planning board.
"I think obviously it was supported
because the board voted overwhelmingly
- it was not unanimous but it was a
strong vote that the matter be sent to
the planning board for consideration,"
Jordan said.
This year the Board of Governors will
recommend to the General Assembly that
the 1983-1985 budget of the private col
leges stay at the current level.
Vice President for Planning Dr. Roy
Carroll said the BOG added one additional
clause to the recommendation of the Com
mittee on Educational Planning, Policies
and Programs.
"It is further recommended that con
sideration be given to reallocating funds
from the Legislative Tuition Grant to the
State Contractual Scholarship Fund," the
addition read. This paragraph showed the
board's concern with the judicious alloca
tion of funds, Carroll said.
"The recommendation doesn't say that
overall funding be cut but it does point up
the fait i hat consideration W- aiven as to

whether you've got sufficient funds in the
needs-based program," Carroll said.
The tuition j?rant program is an across-the-board
subsidy each private college
receives for each North Carolina student
attending the school. The scholarship fund
is alloted according to students' financial
needs. '
Helms, who has served on an interim
committee studying education, said the
BOG should play a role in private schools'
funding.
"My view is, the Board of Governors
certainly ought to be involved in the
dcci son-making process," Helms said.
"Now, whether or not that means we con
tinue to use the language that is in the
statute now is a matter of consideration.

Violent crimes on campus decrease
Art by Denise Whaien
By STEVE GRIFFIN,
Staff Writer
Die number of violent crimes reported has decreased by 50 per
cent over the last three years, but reports of property crime have
remained nearly constant for the same time period, according to
data compiled by the University police.
Robert Sherman, director of security services on campus, said
that 32 violent crimes were reported during the 1979-80 academic
year. . .
Some 23 violent crimes were reported during the 1980-81
school year, while only 16 violent crimes were reported. Violent
crime includes rape, robbery and assault.
For the same three-year period, the number of property crimes .
reported on campus stayed about the same. About 750 were
reported each year, resulting with an estimated annual loss of ,
$160,000. Property crime include larceny, burglary and vehicle
'theft. ' " ; ; ,
Major Charles Mauer, commander of police operations at
UNC, said he was unsure why violent crimes were decreasing at
the University.
"As far as violent crime goes, it may be a streak of luck. 1 just
hope it stays down," he said. -
Sherman cited several reasons as to why property loss had re
mained constant. He said theft was a problem that plagues many
college campuses due to people being too trusting of others.
"Probably more than 50 percent of larcenies are open-access
crimes where there is. property left unattended. There seems to be
little we can do to control it," he said.
The community has to take an active role in prevention of
theft, adding that both faculty and students are equally victi
mized, Sherman said.
"Theft occurs among the staff and faculty who may leave their
room for just a few minutes," he said. "They come back to find
out their calculator is gone."
"For students, leaving their room unlocked or going to bed
with the door unlocked is a very dangerous situation, particularly
for women," Sherman said.
There have been several instances on the UNC campus this
semester of thefts from dormitory rooms, usually after the resi
dent left the door unlocked and then went to bed. One involved
the theft of several hundred dolars worth of jewelry from a
women's dorm room as she slept.
The chance of recovery for most of the stolen items is low, Un
viersity policemen said. Sherman said the nature of the items
typically stolen makes recovery unlikely because they don't have
serial numbers or the owner lost the serial number.
Sherman listed items frequently stolen as clocks, bikes, stereos,
calculators and car tape decks.
Data compiled for September of this year showed that out of
an estimated $17,000 worth of stolen property, only $120 worth
was recovered.
"The dollar losses are greater out of the administrative offices
than
The incidences (in offices) are fewer but dollar losses are
greater," Sherman said.
The 1981 Uniform Crime Report issued recently by the North
Carolina Department of Justice listed crime statistics for several
other college campuses in the state. North Carolina State Univer
sity, a school with about the same student population as UNC,
reported higher crime figures for the past year.
