Student legislature proposed for UNC system
By MARK ST1NNEFORI)
S(af f W rier
The Student Government is promoting the establishment of a
student legislature to consist of representatives from the 16
schools of the UNC system.
Sharon Moylan, executive assistant to Student Body President
Kevin Monroe, outlined a plan for the proposed student
legislature at a conference of the UNC Association of Student
Governments held at the Carolina Union on Saturday. The
association consists of the student body presidents of the schools
in the UNC system.
A student legislature for the UNC system would give students
more muscle in dealings with the N.C. General Assembly, Moylan
said. Under the existing organization, UNCASG is ineffective as a
representative voice for students, she said.
"I think the General Assembly realizes UNCASG doesn't
speak for students in North Carolina because students don't
know what the hell UNCASG is," Moylan said.
The student legislature could tackle such issues as the drinking
age, tuition and financial aid, she said.
"It would bring in a fresh outlook focusing on student-related
issues," Jim Yocum, a delegate from N.C. State University and a
former president of the UNCASG, said.
As part of the w ritten proposal, the student body presidents of
the UNC schools would serve as a board of directors for the stu
dent legislature.
A proposal to allot seats on the legislature to schools in propor
tion to their student population came under fire. Small schools in
the system would suffer, particularly the predominantly black
schools, said Sheila Arnold, who was representing UNC
Charlotte. "Predominantly black schools would have a much tougher
time getting something through," Arnold said. "You could block
almost anything they want to put out. It's happened before, it
could happen again."
Yocum proposed that the legislature have an equal number of
delegates from each school.
Individual schools could decide whether delegates to the
legislature should be picked by election or appointment, Moylan
said. .
The student legislature would probably cost 25 to 50 cents per
student in the UNC system, she said. Moylan proposed a system
by which students could indicate on their tuition bills whether they
'. i. n;n : snwl! f-v Mipport the system, she said.

Carrboro viewers want more cable TV channels
By JOEL BROADWAY
Staff Writer
Cable television viewers in Carrboro
want more channels and a local studio as
part of the town's new contract with
Alert Cable TV of North Carolina, but it
could be some time before an agreement
is reached.
Alert had proposed to the Carrboro
Board of Aldermen in a public hearing
Nov. 9 that the town approve a 15-year
extension on their present contract.
The board had wanted to reach an
agreement to upgrade the town's
20-channel system to 35 channels before
the terms of Mayor Robert Drakeford
and several aldermen ended on Dec. 13,
according to E.R. Pettis, the vice presi
dent of operations in North Carolina for
Alert.
But since the board concluded that
Alert needed to work out some details in
the new contract, Pettis said Alert would
not be on any time table for expanding
its system.
"We'll be in discussions with the town
in what they want and what we can pro
vide," Pettis said.
The original idea to upgrade the
system came from residents and
aldermen, he said. Under the present
contract, which does not expire for six
years, Alert would have had to borrow
money to meet the town's request, Pettis
said.
"That was based on the fact that they
were wanting local origination and more
channels," he said. At the public hear
ing,, the board agreed with citizens that
Alert should also provide details in the
contract for building and operating a
local studio.
Carrboro town attorney Mike Brough
said that until a new contract was agreed
upon, the old contract would remain in
effect, and new channels would probably
not be added.
"I don't know there is anyway the
town can require them to upgrade under
the present franchise," Brough said.
Alert had mentioned to town officials
several times in past years that the com
pany would like to upgrade the system,
he said.
Norman Vogel, a cable TV hobbyist
who has been acting as a consultant for
the, town, said that the proposed
35-channel system was good, but that
many towns, such as Raleigh, were mov
ing toward a 55-channel system.
Pettis said Alert would have to care
fully consider the economies of expan
ding to the 55-channel system, as oppos
ed to Ow .o lUaiuicl system.
"We're talking about probably a half
million versus 250,000 (dollars)," he said.
Upgrading the system will not provide
any additional income for Alert, Pettis
said. '

Look at the Facts ...
When the SALT Talks began in November of
1969, we agreed to stop building our defenses
and to begin to disarm what we had. Mean
while, the Soviets were as busy as ever build
ings up their weapons.
Since that time, the Soviets have developed
21 new high technology systems, compared to
the 2 that we have developed.
I
In 1981. the Soviets outnumbered us 2 to 1 In
tanks, 40 to 1 in surface to air missiles, and 3
to 1 In naval vessels.
At one time, the U.S. was more advanced in
its technology. Today the Soviets are almost
equal if not equal.

MMere are some figures on the human costs of Com-,
munism's worldwide expansionism and colonialism in
just 66 years of history.
Robert Conquest, the British historian, calculates
that it cost between 21.5 million to 32.3 million lives
to establish Communism in the USSR. This includes
5 million who died in the Soviet-inspired famine of
1932 and 12 million sent to their deaths in Stalin's
labor camps.
in Poland approximately 15,000 died in the
Warsaw Uprising in 1944 when the Soviets allowed
the German army to slaughter the Polish resistance.
During the Hungarian Revolt of 1956 there
were 15,000 casualties in Budapest alone with more
than 200,000 Hungarian refugees fleeing to the
West.
In Czechoslavakia three years after the Com
munists seized power at least 152.000 Czechs had
been executed or sent to slave-labor camps.
Human Costs of Communism
In Bulgaria more than 16,000 citizens were
liquidated or deported to labor camps during the first
15 years of Communist rule.
In China, according to Richard Walker, director
of the Institute for International Studies at the Uni
versity of South Carolina, it is estimated that perhaps
64 million casualties can be attributed to Commu
nism's coming to power. In the Political Liquidation
Campaigns of 1949-1958 alone, some 30 million
Chinese lost their lives. No figures are available on
how many died in the Cultural Revolution shortly be
fore Chairman Mao's death, but many experts think
the figure is substantially large.
In Vietnam, the "Land Reforms" of 1953-56
sent 500,000 persons to their deaths. Another
200,000 were liquidated in the "People's Tribunals"
of 1956-1959. '
John Barron and Anthony raul in their remark
able book Murder of a Gentle Land estimate between
1.2 to 2.5 million Cambodians were murdered
during the first two years of Communist rule in that
country.
In Laos, with a population of fewer than 4 mil
lion, more than 200,000 Laotians have fled their
country.
The largest refugee population in the. world
today, estimated at close to 3 million, are Afghans
who are living in wretched border camps in Pakistan.
An unprecedented 5.000 Cuban refugees ar
rived in the U.S. in 1980 on a single day fleeing the
Communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro. More than
124,000 came in one year, added to thousands who
fled to the U.S. following the Communist takeover.
The plight of the "boat people" of Southeast
Asia continues.
