Budget cut
may affect
aid, loans
By IVY MILLIARD
Staff Writer
The good news is that college students
shouldn't have to worry about large
losses in financial aid for the coming
year.
But proposed federal cuts in financial
assistance for medical education and stu
dent loans, in addition to budget cuts to
the UNC system by the state, may have
great impact in the future, several campus
officials said.
State officials say the federal govern
ment probably will not cut student aid
funds before school opens this fall, but
are not sure if Congress will agree to more
cuts in the following year, 1984-85.
"Federal (student) aid cuts are not
necessarily a timely issue now. It's not
something that's going to change by next
week," Eleanor Morris, director of Stu
dent Aid here at UNC, said.
Stan Broadway, director of the North
Carolina Education Assistance Authori
ty, said his agency expected the same level
of funding for 1983-84 as for last year in
the area of loans.
Unfortunately, President Reagan's re
cent budget indicates that he wants stu-,
dents and their parents to contribute a
larger percentage of the cost of a college
education, Broadway said.
One proposal to remove $67.6 million
from four assistance programs, the
Health Education Assistance Loans,
Health Professions Student Loans, Ex
ceptional Financial Need Scholarships
and National Health Service Corps
Scholarships, may mean that qualified
low- and middle-income students would
miss out on medical school.
Kathy Bartlett, the media relations
coordinator for the UNC Medical Center
Public Affairs, said the ef fecf of 'such"
legislation on the UNC School of
Medicine was not certain, but that finan
cial aid was a very sensitive subject for the
school at this time. '.
Bartlett stated that a policy statement
which will be released by the School of
Medicine soon deals with this subject.
Although UNC is now one of the most
affordable schools for those who wish to

Heels triumph in the
Omni over Ga. Tech
By LINDA ROBERTSON
Staff Writer
ATLANTA The irony was palpable
from the start when the two stars ex
changed a quick handshake on the -sidelines
before the opening tipoff. This
was Atlanta's cavernous Omni, 10
minutes from the campus of the Georgia
Institute of Technology, but fans voiced
just as much admiration for UNC as for
Tech. Yes, they wanted to see Mark Price,
the freshman who can't miss. But they
had to admit Michael Jordan's presence
had something to do with their presence
Wednesday night when UNC beat Tech
85-73.
"I'm a season ticket-holder," one man
said, "but I'm really here to watch the
number one and number two scorers in
the ACC a freshman and a sopho
more.' Price didn't waste any time, scoring
first from 17 feet. But he was silent for
the rest of the half and missed seven
shots. Tech's catalyst only hit seven of 25
for the game.
"Being outplayed . and outskilled are
two different things. Tonight we got
outplayed and that's not good," Tech
coach Bobby Cremins said, "I was hop
ing Mark could get hot in the second half,
but Mark just wasn't sharp tonight."
Neither was UNC during the schizo
phrenic first half. After running out to a
22-9 lead by capitalizing on Tech's ag
gressive play and six team fouls, the Tar
Heels failed to score for almost five
minutes. The frustration really showed
when UNC missed a shot and, during the
ensuing rebound scramble, three tip-in
chances before Brad Daugherty was called
for a foul.
Warren Martin, who started in place of
an injured Daugherty, ended the drought
with a three-foot hook. UNC led at
halftime 32-27 despite shooting only 36
percent from the field.
That first half lapse brought up the
bothersome question of UNC's con
sistency. Or lack thereof.
"People make too much of our sup
posed streakiness," Coach Dean Smith
said. "A very demanding schedule has
had more to do with our wins and losses

than our overall play. I think we've been
gradually improving all along."
UNC rapidly improved with the start
of the second half when Jordan sank a
three-point shot from the left baseline.
Those anxious for an ACC shooting dual
watched as Price struggled and Jordan
took control.
In his first dunk of the evening Jordan
moved toward the basket as if ascending
an invisible staircase. Price was taken out
of the chase by va wayward referee. His
next shot was an air ball.
After a 10-foot Jordan jumper that
made the score 53-36, Martin fouled out
with 10 points and four rebounds.
Daugherty came in and promptly scored
five. Sam Perkins dominated the board.
The Tar Heels were clicking again.
"Jordan got the hothand and we put a
lot of pressure on Price," Matt Doherty
said. "Price is filling a role that requires
him to take a lot of shots he might not
want to take." Jordan extended UNC's
lead to 23 with a steal and dunk off Price.
: "I wish everyone wouldn't make such
a big deal about the conference scoring ti
tle. This wasn't a game between Michael
and I," Price said. "I'm not trying to
take anything away from Carolina, but
without Perkins and Jordan, they'd be
down here with the rest of us."
Price sank the parting shot, a 20-footer
to close the final gap to twelve.
"Mark is a great scorer, but he's also a
good passer with lots of court savvy,"
Jordan said. "We both know it doesn't
matter if you score 46 or four, the game is
between two teams."
Despite their love of celebrities, fans
know it too.

CGC calls
ior rei
on tee increase
By MARK STINNEFORD
Staff Writer
Students again will have the opportunity
to vote on whether their Student Activity
Fee should be increased.
The Campus Governing Council voted
unanimously Thursday night to approve a
student body referendum on a proposal to
raise the activity fee by $1.25 per semester.
No date was set for the referendum.
The student body voted on a fee in
crease referendum Feb. 8, but the vote was
thrown out by the Student Supreme Court
because the CGC did not-allow enough
time between approving the referendum
and presenting it to the students:
According to the Student Constitution,
no referendum can be held less than a
week after approval by the CGC. The
original fee referendum bill was passed by
the CGC on Feb. 2, only six days before it
was voted on by students.
Before an activity fee increase can be
enacted, it must receive a two-thirds ma
jority vote in a student body referendum.
And at least 20 percent of the student body
must cast votes in the referendum, accord
ing to the Student Government Code.
CGC member Steve Reinhard (District
1) said he doubted that the required
number of students would vote in a fee in
crease referendum.
"Even if we put in all the time, money
and effort (to hold a referendum), I don't
think we could get this passed. I don't
think 20 percent of the students would
come out," Reinhard said.
In presenting the bill, CGC Finance
Committee Chairperson Doc Drpze

organizations.
"We need to make sure we'll have
money to allocate when the groups come

year last May, the CGC was forced to take

indicators
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON The government's
main economic forecasting gauge shot up
ward 3.6 percent in January, the biggest
gain in three decades and an apparent new
sign that the nation's recovery from reces
sion may be more robust than many have
predicted.
, Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige
called his department's report Wednesday!
"highly favorable" for recovery. And a
national business group quickly raised its
own forecast of 1983 U.S. economic
growth.
" If anyone still doubted the nation was
pulling out of the 1981-82 recession,
Baldrige said, "There has never been a
gain in the leading index in the past this
large without an economic recovery."
The January gain in Commerce's Index
of Leading Economic Indicators was the
fifth monthly increase in a row and the
largest since the 4.1 percent of July 1950.
The index, a compilation of 12 separate
economic measures, is designed to show
Bipartisan jobs proposal
passesHouse committee
Tbe Associated Press
WASHINGTON The House Ways
and Means Committee rejected President
Reagan's recommendation Wednesday
'and approved a bipartisan plan providing
up to 10 additional weeks of unemploy
ment benefits for jobless workers who
have exhausted their eligibility.
The proposal was passed on a voice
vote, and in a move to assure its approval,
the committee attached it to "must"
legislation to rescue the ailing Social
Security system.
Those now eligible for unemployment
benefits or who become eligible after April
1 could receive up to eight additional
weeks of assistance, to a maximum of 63
weeks in states hardest hit by the recession.
For those who already have lost their
benefits, the extra 10 weeks would mean
an overall total of 65 weeks. Workers in
states where the recession has not hit as
hard would receive less than 10 additional
weeks. '

$21,000 from the General Reserve fund to
add to the $240,000 it anticipated receiving
through student fees during the year,
Droze said. The financial situation will be
about the same during the next fiscal year,
Droze said.
The General Reserve, which currently
stands at about $58,000, consists of activi
ty fees received by the CGC each year that
are not spent.
The ravages of inflation have made the
fee increase imperative, said CGC member
Tim Newman (District 11). Newman said
that prices Tiave risen 35 percent "since the
last fee increase.
"Because of it, we've had to cut and cut
and cut," Newman said.
Failure to approve a referendum would
actually be a vote to cut fees, said CGC
member Ron Everett (District 13).
"To leave the fees as they are is a
decrease in real dollars," Everett said.
"We should bring this issue to the
students."
Student Body Treasurer Brent Clark,
speaking to the CGC following the vote,
urged the council members not to misre
present the financial position of Student
Government in lobbying for the increase.
Clark estimated the General Reserve
would amount to more than $150,000 at
the beginning of the new fiscal year on
May 16.
The General Reserve fund will grow for
two 'reasons, Clark said. First, the
Carolina Concert Committee should be
able to return most or all of the $100,000
allocated from the General Reserve for the
event. . Second, student organizations will
return funds not spent, during the fiscal
year. '
J'l hope you'll goout and let them know
ybiTfe sitting on all this money," Clark
said. "It's not like Student Government is
going broke."
In other action, the CGC approved a
subsequent appropriation of $2,200 to the

future trends of the economy as a whole.
The companion Index of Coincident In
dicators, designed to measure current con
ditions, rose 0.6 percent in January, the
second gain in three months and a new in
dication the recession is over.
Baldrige, in a statement distributed by
aides, cautioned that the January figures
"should not be taken as a sign of a coming
economic boom" since the index was
pushed up by such special factors as
unusually mild weather and a new type of
bank account that swelled the measured
money supply.
"However, the report can only be
viewed as highly favorable," he said.
Most economists were assuming an
, economic rebound had begun, and Under
secretary of Commerce Robert Dederick
had said Tuesday the recovery almost sure
ly will be stronger than the
administration's forecast of a 3.1 percent
overall business expansion from the fourth
quarter of last year to the fourth quarter of
1983.

The new provisions would begin April 1
and last six months and are estimated to
cost between $2.4 billion and $3.3 billion,
depending on whether administration or
Congressional Budget Office estimates are
used. .
Reagan had proposed a simple exten
sion of the current program, which pro
vides a maximum of 55 weeks, and Demo
crats had countered with a plan providing
a maximum of 65 weeks to include work
ers now drawing benefits.
Key negotiators of the compromise were
Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-Ill., and Rep.
Bill Frenzel, R-Minn., who said afterwards
that the administration appears to have
"lost its stomach" for resisting the
Democrats on the issue.
