The allocation is aboutS 1,000 less than last year, and about half of what The Phoenix requested. Their total budget for the 1984-85 year is $21,897. They are ex pected to raise $500 from fundraising and $4,500 through advertising to make up the difference. Phoenix editor Greg Smith opposed publishing bi-weekly. "We'll lose con tinuity and we'll lose the power of the publication," he said. "We'll lose readers and we'll lose advertising. We won't be funding ourselves." Committee member Kenneth Harris said the decision to cut the Phoenix budget was the most difficult he's had to make during the hearings. "We have a fiscal responsibility as the Finance Com mittee," he said. "We have to do some thing drastic." Student Body Treasurer Allen Robert son was upset about the lack of funds available for the remaining organizations. "We've got $16,984 left to divide among 20-21 organizations asking for a little over $100,000," he said. Executive Assistant Greg Hecht sug gested that the committee may have over allocated some organizations which received funding earlier. Committee member Ron Everett recommended the Phoenix become a bi weekly supplement to The Daily Tar Heel. He said he saw it as a way to put the Phoenix into the hands of the students, increasing its readership. DTH Editor Jeff Hiday and Smith were opposed to the idea of a supple ment. "I .don't think it's such a hot idea," Hiday said. "It's important that the Phoenix get more exposure; it's crucial to get advertisers and readers, but I feel it would take away from the credibility of the Phoenix." Hiday added that it would make it look like he had control over the Phoenix and neither he nor Smith wanted that. "The Phoenix has a unique respon sibility to the campus," he said. "As a magazine, it does different things. I'd rather there be some elements of competi tion." Smith said as a supplement to the DTH the Phoenix would lose credibility. "We've done some things this semester to increase credibility," he said. For example he said they planned to build their own drop boxes instead of re questing funds to purchase them. Smith said he had handed out the Phoenix on campus and planned to do that in the future. He also said he planned to con duct a phone survey to find out if students read the Phoenix. The Finance Committee also recom mended Monday that Student Govern ment allocate $74,279 to Student Legal Student Legal Services received 95 per cent of its $77,886 budget request with the Finance Committee appropriation. The bulk of the budget is spent on salaries for the service's one half-time and two full-time attorneys and for its secretary. Most of the cuts in the service's budget request came off its projected salaries for See HEARINGS on page 2 The Carolina Choir and a ... The choir will sing this UNC pitcher Ken Turner ... In spite of a Latin test ARA hopes to By JIM ZOOK Staff Writer ARA Food Services began distributing fliers this week advertising the planned hiring of more students next year for part-time and full-time positions. ARA Director Tony Hardee said he hoped to increase the number of student employees working for the food service. ARA hired 80 students this year. "Since "June (when he came to UNC), -we've already increased student employ ment 25 percent," Hardee said. "I'm hoping to do that much again in this next year." Student Government Executive Vice President Greg Hecht, who has been working with Hardee on the program, said ARA officials had been receptive to the idea. "We brought the idea to them, and they were really gung-ho about the whole thing," Hecht said. "Things have gone Student Television needs Union space; files application with Student Government By CHERYL WILLIAMS Staff Writer Student Television has filed an applica tion with Student Government requesting space in the Union for the organization. John Wilson, executive board member in charge of programming, said the or ganization had found it difficult to operate without an office. Board members carry business information in their backpacks, he said. Equipment is transported in car trunks and stored in members' homes or in a room in the Union.

ARA has been fantastic about it. They have been the initiator as well as a cooperator in this effort." Hecht said fliers were being distributed this week to dormitories and Granville Towers. Some will be distributed off campus, although the off-campus distribu tion method has not been decided. To make sure off-campus residents are contacted, Hecht said there would pro bably be advertisements in The Daily Tar Heel, The Phoenix, and other campus publications. ' -' The costs for the fliers and the advertis ing will be paid by both ARA and SG, which Hecht said was a sigh of coopera tion between the two organizations. Hecht said a pay hike for student employees had been requested by Student Government. Hardee said a final decision had not been made in the matter, but he was exploring the possibility. Currently, student employees are paid $3.40 to $4 per hour, depending on the equipment," Wilson said. "It will also make us more accessible. People don't know where to go to look for us. Right now you could say STV is located in back of my car and in my backpack." According to the application filed by STV, space is needed to hold $22,000 worth of equipment including an editing bench, camera, recorders and tapes, a programming bulletin board and a stu dent input box. Space is also needed for records, files, desks and administrative purposes. "We need space now," Wilson said. "The cameras are already here and the editing bench is on the way. When it comes I don't know what we're going to do with it. suJ1 ' P- DTHCharles LedforrJ against the ECU Pirates - 5. See story on page 5 students job. A beginning cashier earns $3.50 per hour. Hardee said any raises would be across the board and would probably be about a nickel per hour. Hardee said the reason he was eager to hire more students was because it would be good for the campus in general. "It gives the students a job on campus, which is convenient for them," he said. "It lets us plan our labor through part time people, keeping our labor costs down." v - - '- The hiring of additional students will be possible partly because of the opening of Lenoir and Chase Halls next year, he said. He added that the increase in student employment would not cause full-time, non-student employees to lose their jobs. "None of this year's full-time employees will be turned away next year," Hardee said. "We've been taking some equipment to homes," Wilson said. "That's not good. It's not safe and it's not conve nient." . But STV may have to wait awhile to find out about space. Mark Scurria, ex ecutive branch vice president, said the review process could take one to two weeks. Student Body President Paul Parker, said letters were sent to all University recognized organizations, notifying them of the application procedure. The ap plication deadline was March 30. Parker says there are about 26 offices available. "This is a very deliberate process," he said. "We want to make sure everyone gets a fair chance." Scurria said he, Parker and another ex ecutive branch vice president would review the applications. Scurria and Parker said there was the possibility that STV would get space over an organization already in the Union. Tim Sullivan, STV executive board member in charge of development, was optimistic that STV would be allocated space. . "I think Student Government will be very fair to us," Sullivan said. "I will be surprised and disappointed if we don't get a space." "I hope that Student Government can move with all deliberate speed in helping us get a space," David Leventhal, the ex ecutive board member in charge of public relations, said. "Right now STV is grow ing so fast. We need a centralized space not only because we demand it but because the students demand it. We can't just operate out of students' backpacks. "There s a space out there tor us a space out there somewhere,' Leventhal said.

Polls will be open from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. at Rosenau Hall, Davis Library, Kenan scorts off-campus areas By KATHY HOPPER Staff Writer An increased fear of sexual assaults in the Airport Road area has prompted Rape Assault Prevention Escort to extend its service to include Townhouse Apart ments and Northampton Terrace and Plaza Apartments. RAPE had previously only served the campus and sorority houses. Tim Severt, director of RAPE, said this additional service was necessary because of "numerous reports and rumors of rapes and assaults near cam pus." The Chapel Hill Police Department said there had been five area assaults recently, while University Police said there had been none on campus. Those attacks occurred in the Airport Road Umstead Park area. The Rape Crisis Center said it had a record of the same assaults. A group of female UNC students notified the University and Chapel Hill police Monday about a black man parked in a car near Kenan Residence Hall, pretending to read a newspaper, but ac tually observing a group of women sun bathing. Police got a description of the car, but the man drove away when he realized he had attracted attention, according to Chapel Hill police. "We must get word out that there is someone out there intending to do women harm," Ellen Wilbur, area direc tor of STOW residence college. She said plans were being discussed about a possi ble 24-hour lock-up in STOW dor mitories Spencer, Kenan, Carr, Alder KKK leader announces gubernatorial platform By TOM CONLON Staff Writer While the state's gubernatorial can didates are making strides to pick up sup port from black voters, Ku Klux Klan leader Glenn Miller is surprising no one by running on a white man's platform. Miller, head of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, said he is planning several citizen referendums he feels are of interest to whites. "I favor a majority rule and will restore liberty and freedom to the people of North Carolina," Miller said in a re cent telephone interview. "Forced in tegration is outrageous. The majority of the people are against it, and by giving them an opportunity to vote against it we're providing true democracy. We need to let the people rule." Aside from integration, he proposes referendums on whether abortion, por nography and interracial marriage should remain legal. Political analysts and other candidates give Miller little chance of making a strong showing in the May 8 Democratic gubernatorial primary. In the latest .Carolina Poll on the governor's race, released March 14, fewer than 1 percent of the state's Democrats surveyed said they planned to vote for Miller. Miller, 43, retired in 1979 as a U.S. Ar my Master Sergeant. He served two tours in Vietnam and 15 years in the Green Beret paratroopers. A native of Neuse Township in Wake County, he now resides near Angier in Johnston County. "I was more proud to have been in Greensboro for 88 seconds in 1979 than 20 years in the U.S. Army," Miller said, referring to the incident in which five Communist Party Workers were killed in a "Death to the Klan" rally. "It was the only armed victory over communism in this country. "I'm the onjy candidate in the governor's race that offers a real choice for white people," Miller said. "Just as Jesse Jackson is a candidate for black people, I am a candidate for white people a real choice for white people," Miller said. "Just as Jesse Jackson is a can didate for black people, I am a candidate for white people. All the other candidates running for governor are little more than new-South, scalawag race traders, paper shuffling bureaucrats for the federal government. I've talked with all of them personally, and they have turned their backs on white Southerners. "Every one of them is begging for the black vote and calling for black rights, but none of them will even utter the words for white rights or white votes," Lab, Y-Coun, Craige dormitory, Hamilton Hall, the Scuttlebutt, the Med. school and the Union. Candidates are: DLtrict 3: No candidates L.A. Safian to serve man, Mclver, Old East and Old West. Wilbur has posted fliers in those dormi tories warning female students not to walk alone at night. In a letter sent to RAPE escorts, Severt said, "I realize this may be more than you bargained for, thus you will have the right to deny a request for this extended ser vice. However, I also trust that you will recognize that this type of emergency is exactly why RAPE was formed. "Remember the girls and the Universi ty community really appreciate our work, and if one assault or rape is prevented, then all our efforts will be more than compensated," he said. The escort service was established in 1980 to deter sexual assaults in the Chapel Hill area. There are now 400 volunteers, most of whom are students from Olde Campus. Volunteers are screened before they are allowed to be escorts. They are required to carry identification when on duty. "This service offers an alternative to women walking home alone at night," Severt said. "Women can choose to use or not use the service. Ideally everyone should be able to walk alone at night without apprehension, fear or threat to safety. But unfortunately that is not the case. RAPE recognizes this problem and addresses the need for an alternative to walking alone at night. "We can't be relied on to solve this problem," he said. "The Chapel Hill police must also step up their forces." RAPE operates from 7:15 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and escorts are available on request during the weekend. Miller said. "There's not a dime's worth of difference in any of the other can didates, and all they think of is money." Miller said affirmative action has hurt whites in job-hiring, promotion and ob taining college scholarships at the expense of racial quotas. "White people should not sit back and accept this. Once elected . governor, I'll work against Jewish control of the national communications media and of the private banking institutions that make up the federal reserve system. 7 was more proud to have been in Greensboro for 88 seconds in 1979 than 20 years in the U.S. Army. Glenn Miller "When the minorities become strong enough to take over the military, law en forcement and elected offices, corpora tions and government agencies, they will massacre the white people," Miller said. "The Jews have been the biggest enemy of the white race historically and today. No integration would have come about today without the Jews. They will be pro moting their propaganda and producing their programs to lead to the massacre of the white race." Among Miller's platforms as governor, the creation of a 100,000 citizen's militia would be implemented to assist law en forcement personnel throughout the state. "We need this militia to prevent a peaceful or armed takeover by com munists," he said. "This militia would be separate from the national guard and would be a volunteer position working with church groups and local rescue squads. The militia would be closely coordinated with the sheriffs depart ments." Miller also said he would return the Confederate flag to all office buildings as governor. "Our forefathers fought for the flag and died for their independence," he said. "They should be honored for it. It is something we are proud of. "While blacks celebrate Martin Luther King's holiday Jan. 16, we'll celebrate Robert E. Lee's birthday Jan. 19," Miller said. "But I doubt I will shut down the state because of the costs incurred maybe we'd celebrate it on a Saturday." A state tax supplement to elderly white people should be implemented, Miller said. "All we're saying is we want equality and the right to survive," Miller said. "The right to maintain our race, culture, and heritage and white civilization. We cannot do that under the present chain of events which simple logic and good eyesight proves." District 17: John from Charlotte. Nlchclron, a junior District 19: Robert from Charlotte.
