Expresses 'deep and Jackson says Democratic party is . The Associated Press NORTH OAKS, Minn. The Rev. Jesse Jackson announced his "deep andintense" support for Walter Mon- idale's presidential campaign Tuesday while reserving the right to disagree pub- : -S tt licly with the Demo- L4 f ' ft cratic candidate. In, At a joint news conference. Mondale and Jackson, after! VVs'' I meeting for morel I V'A I than two hours at the Q J Democratic nomi- Mondale nee's home, announced that they would make several. joint campaign appearances. "My support will be broad-based, my involvement willl be deep and intense," said Jackson, who often has publicly chided Mondale for not moving quickly enough to involve blacks, Hispanics and Campus groups begin to ask for space in new dormitory By CHERYL WILLIAMS SUIT Writer The new $6.8 million residence hall under construction next to Teague residence hall will be com pleted and ready to house students next fall. Rustiri Collin, associate director of University Housing, said the five floor air-conditioned building would house about 495 students. The dormitory, which is accessible to handicapped students, is designed for single- and double-room occupancy. Although some suggestions have been made on who should live in the dormitory, Collin said no final decisions had been made. All final decisionswill be made within the next few months. Some academic departments have asked for space, Collins said. For example, some want a floor or a group of rooms set aside as a living learning center for students studying foreign languages. Athletics departments have asked for space for grant-in-aid students. Others have requested housing for honors students. Collins said the honors Droeram used to house M. w Iam an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way. Carl Sandburg these days is cranes," Parker said. "1 will oppose any more construction which detracts from the natural beauty of the campus," he added. Parker said he is also disturbed about a proposal to build an Athletic Develop ment Center as an addition to Kenan Stadium field house. "First of all, it wouldn't look right sticking out on the side of the field house. Secondly, too many trees will have to be cut down," Parker said. According to Parker, a land use plan which outlined where buildings should and should not be built was used in the intense' support for Mondale women in his campaign. Jackson added that "we have a right to be unified without being uniform." Asked if he had agreed to stop attacking Mondale, Jackson said: "IVe not been attacking him. I will always reserve the right to challenge and express myself. I have not taken any vow of silence." Mondale's meeting with Jackson took place a few hours after he received a ringing , endorsement from John Anderson, the former Republican congressman who broke with his party in 1980 to wage an independent cam paign for president. Anderson told a rally at the Univer sity of Illinois that "those who walked with me in 1980 ... I am asking with all the urgency I can summon to walk with me now in support of the Mondale Ferraro ticket." With Mondale standing at his side, Jackson said he was satisfied that the nominee was bringing blacks, Hispanics students on the fourth floor of Morrison residence hall, but this was discontinued. Collin said the housing office would also continue reserving space for freshmen. He added he was not sure how much space would . be reserved for them in the new dor mitory. Presently the University reserves 50 percent of available space for freshmen. "We're trying to make it as open as possible," Collins said. "The process of assignment will afford some returning students , access to the building," he said. "We will try to be as fair as possible to give students a chance to compete for space. "We will follow a random process of assignment to give all students a chance regardless of ethnic background." Collins said all the groups that requested space would be considered when the decisions were made. The housing department, the Residence Hall Association and the Housing Advisory Board, made up of faculty, will make the final decision. No name has been selected for the building yet, Collins said "The most common sight on campus these days is cranes. I will oppose any more construction which detracts from the natural beauty of the campus." Paul Parker 1920s but has since been abandoned. The UNC Board of Trustees now decides when buildings should be built, but not where they should be built, Parker said. "The trustees don't look at maps of campus, they just look at drawings and plans of proposed buildings along with the requests for the building and if it looks good, they o.k. it without worrying about - . - . -TV t . and women onto his campaign staff. Jackson did most of the talking at the news conference after Mondale opened by saying that "weVe just completed a very useful conversation." The Democratic nominee said Jack son "will be working closely with me. We will be campaigning together." Pressed as to whether he was giving an unqualified endorsement to Mon dale, Jackson said, "I intend to embrace the ticket. I intend to campaign for the ticket." While Mondale was collecting And erson's endorsement and moving to smooth over differences with black leaders, his running mate, Geraldine Ferraro, was in New Jersey raising questions about President Reagan's ability to keep the peace in a second term. "The question is: Over-the next four years what will happen to my son John and your children and grandchildren?" she asked. "Will this president, unres trained by the need for re-election, heighten the risk of war? New alcohol policy education efforts begin By JIM ZOOK Staff Writer UNC student and administrative officials recently announced the adop tion of a campus-wide alcohol policy, but those guidelines are not the end of efforts to inform students about respon sible drinking. Fred Schroeder, dean of student life, is chairing a committee that will put together a new alcohol education program for UNC students. Schroeder, who served on the task force that put together the new campus policy, said he thought the policy was a good one. The new policy is a two-page doc ument that specifies locations on campus where students are allowed to have parties where alcohol is served, and spells out certain provisions that sponsoring organizations must follow or face possible penalties. Mark Stafford, president of the Residence Hall Association, has expressed support for penalizing resi dence halls that sponsor parties and don't follow RH A rules. "We (the RHA Board of Governors) where it will go on campus," he said. Parker said there was a lack of knowl edge on the part of the trustees concerning where buildings are on campus. "I was leading a group of trustees around campus the other day and several times I heard 'What's that building?' or TVe never seen that building before,' " Parker said. The fact that there is presently no land use policy for the UNC campus concerns c:-:-:wx-:'XvX-:x-x-:-:-r-w WSJ OTHCharles Ledford Tuesday. unified 'I dont want to take that chance," she said, adding that Mondale would trade "proposals, not insults" with the Soviets if elected president. Anderson received 5.7 million votes in 1980 nearly 7 percent of the 85 million cast. In 14 states carried by President Reagan, Anderson's vote was larger than the margin by which Reagan defeated then-President Carter. Mondale thanked Anderson for his support and then told the crowd that "this morning the White House said John Anderson is a 'nobody' ... but John Anderson is a somebody." James A. Lake, spokesman for the Reagan-Bush campaign, was quoted by The Washington Post as saying: "Who's John Anderson? Nobody. He's not a factor. People have forgotten who John Anderson is." "John Anderson doesn't have a constituency," Lake said. "There is not a large body of Republicans ouf there who will belong to John Anderson because they are not unhappy with Ronald Reagan." will be discussing including among the power of the RHA treasurer to freeze the funds of a residence college that does not follow our guidelines," Stafford said. The committee designed to look into a new education program has been assembled for several months, but has not met yet because the members wanted to have the campus policy in hand before they went to work. Schroeder now expects this committee to begin working and he has some ideas on what the committee will be trying to accomplish. "The thing we need to look toward as a committee is to find a happy medium between personal freedoms, the enjoyment of life, and necessary social constraints," Schroeder said. "Once we find that point, we will engage the community in an effort to sustain and as necessary adjust that point." One topic that received a good deal of debate by the committee formulating the policy was whether or not student fees should be available for the purchase of alcohol.

"If you lose 700 (parking) spaces for two years, why build it at all? Seven hundred lost spaces for a 2,000 space parking deck will only be 1 ,300 spaces net," Parker said. If the BOT looks into the plan and approves construction of the deck, it still must be approved by the UNC Board of Governors and the N.C. General Assembly. Gordon Rutherford, director of the UNC Planning Office, said the land use policy was in the process of being Cob ev, Andrews to debate By WAYNE THOMPSON Staff Writer Democratic Congressman Ike Andrews and 4th District challenger Bill Cobey are scheduled to make a rare joint appearance Oct. 9 at a forum in Hamilton Hall. "It's on his calendar," Cobey press secretary Steve Long said Tuesday in a telephone interview. Separately, Cobey announced in a Raleigh news conference Tuesday that he had sent a written challenge to Andrews for at least two debates in addition to the scheduled forum. Cobey set a Sept. 15 deadline for Andrews' reply. Andrews spokesman Jini Hughes in Washington said the Congressman would respond in writing, as requested by Cobey, before publicly answering questions about Cobey 's call for a debate. In a statement issued by Hughes, Andrews said Cobey would have an answer in a couple of days. "He's giving a deadline which I plan to meet and he's asked for a written response which I certainly plan to provide," Andrews said. Whether or not Andrews makes his first formal appearance alongside Cobey in the debate, an N.C. League of Women Voters official said the Oct. 9 forum will give both candidates opportunity to examine their positions on the issues. Local league president Gay Eddy said the forum would adhere to a three-part format. Cobey and Andrews first will answer written questions submitted to them by the League in advance, answer questions from a four-member panel which will include at least one UNC official, and then field written questions: Martin, Edmisten meet, bieker The Associated Press RALEIGH Attorney General Rufus Edmisten and U.S. Rep. Jim Martin traded verbal blows Tuesday when a schedule change caused the gubernatorial candidates to appear together during a transportation forum. Edmisten opened with a mildly worded statement on highway issues, but Martin followed by sharply accus ing the Democratic attorney general of neglecting the bid-rigging scandal and promising more than he could deliver. In an interview afterward, Edmisten complained that the forum had been a "media event" that gave Martin a chance to make "cheap shots." Originally, the N.C. Highway Users Convention wasn't supposed to bring Edmisten and Martin together. Martin was scheduled to appear with Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C, and Edmisten with Gov. Jim Hunt, who is running against Helms. But Helms and Hunt didn't show up, Student Federation President Tom Terrell, a committee member and avid proponent for this, explained the committee's debate. "The committee originally adopted the official University position that alcohol can't be purchased with student fees," he said. "But, amidst a general tightening of provisions, the committee decided to follow a more relaxed policy. We felt a more relaxed policy on the use of student fees was entirely conson ant with the overall purpose of the new policy." Terrell wrote a statement for the committee which said student fees could be used to buy alcohol on three grounds: Student organizations should try to have alternative beverages and food when alcohol is served; Graduate student fees could be used for depart mental socials, which the statement describes are "commonly no more than wine and cheese parties"; The policy would deem unnecessary "separate accounts ... of voluntary social fees which ... would encourage end of the year 'blowouts to expend all remaining reevaluated by the University. Rutherford said campus construction was not done haphazardly, but in an organized fashion. "The Board of Trustees and the faculty building and grounds committee decide where buildings go on campus," Ruther ford said. "If there is an approval for a parking deck, it will be handled out of this office."' Rutherford said the University consi dered building a parking deck in 1960 and 1973, but problems arose with funding. "We have asked the legislature to let us build a deck. As of right now, nothing has been decided," Rutherford said. at UNC "I think the closest we will come to a one-on-one debate is when they will be asked questions by the audience," said Katherine Emerson, chair of voter's service for the League's local chapter and organizer of the forum. Emerson added, however, that the forum's format does not allow candi dates to fire questions at each other. If Andrews refuses to debate Cobey and the forum becomes the single joint appearance of the campaign, Emerson said she didn't see how Cobey could use the forum to debate Andrews because candidates are permitted only to respond to questions. The forum will be sponsored by the League, Chapel Hill-Carrboro Com mon Cause, the local chapter of the N.C. State Employees Association and the UNC Campus Y. Village Cable plans to videotape the forum, a pro duction assistant said Tuesday. Long said he hoped Andrews would accept Co bey's request for a debate, but denied that Cobey was trying to engage Andrews because of a perception that Cobey is currently running behind Andrews in the 4th District race. "I would suggest we're a little behind," Long said, "but Bill felt an obligation and responsibility as a candidate to debate the issues." Cobey, a former UNC athletic direc tor, lost a close race to Andrews in 1982 and lost in the 1980 lieutenant governor's race to Jimmy Green. The forum will also feature three candidates running for two N.C. Senate seats in the 16th District, which includes Chapel Hill. The candidates are incum bents Russell Walker and Wanda Hunt, both Democrats, and Republican challenger Archie Rich. sending spokesmen instead, and the sponsors revised the schedule. Martin told the audience of about 1 50 truckers, farmers and state officials that "for years, roads and highways have been the politics of illusion in North Carolina. "I realize that the politics of illusion need to give way to the politics of integrity, where we don't make promises that we don't have any intention or the wherewithal to keep," said Martin. In an interview, Martin said that he had collected news stories quoting Edmisten during campaign appearances as "promising about every conceivable highway." Edmisten, however, said the only highway project he'd committed himself to was Interstate 40 to Wilmington, which Martin also supported. "I don't think Mr. Martin has been with me when I've said I want to treat all areas of the state fairly," said , See GOVERNOR on page 3 funds." Another provision states that all alcohol at a student organization party must be purchased at retail. James Cansler, associate vice chancellor for student affairs, explained the reasoning behind that provision. "That grew out of concern from campus representatives of all 16 schools in the University system that beer distributors have tried to promote their products by giving beer to fraternities and student groups free," Cansler said. "This provides a party that the purpose of attending is to drink." Cansler expressed the ways he hoped the newly adopted policy increased responsible drinking among students. "To have a written policy that applies across the board will be very helpful because it will be a simple clarification of the structure (of the laws)," he said. "Also, the policies for guidelines as conditions to providing alcoholic beverages at residence hall events, and other parties, is going to ensure com pliance with state law, a criteria for responsible use of alcoholic beverages."
