Real Estate Foundation gives UNC fund for new prof By LAURA VAN SANT Staff Writer The North Carolina Real Estate Foundation has pledged $250,000 to establish a professorship at UNC's School of Business Administration. Thomas Heffner, Chapel Hill realtor and foundation president, and Business School Dean John P. Evans announced the new professorship earlier this month. "The foundation has had a long relationship with the University," Heffner said. "Since the school and University already have excellent faculty resources in real estate, the professorship will help us build a stronger program for the future." The $250,000 pledge is the latest example of cooperation between the business school and the foundation sponsored Realtors' Institute., estab lished in Chapel Hill in 1947. Past projects include the formation of the N.C.

The Chapel Hill Realtors' Institute was the first of its kind in the nation. Now, said Heffner, other states have used North Carolina as a model for developing their own similar institutes. Evans said that both the University and the real estate profession would benefit from the professorship. "This generous gift helps promote teaching and research in real estate of national quality, and that, of course, will serve North Carolina well," he said. 'BEST FOREIGN FILM!" L. A.

Tobacco, poultry battle for state's top crop By ANDY TRINCIA Staff Writer Although the tobacco industry is still the number one legal cash crop in North Carolina, the poultry industry is closing in rapidly for the honor of being the state's top commodity. "The tobacco industry has many problems," said John Cyrus, head of tobacco affairs for the N.C. Department of Agriculture. "It's still the top commodity, but poultry is catching up and may completely catch up this year," he said. Cyrus said price support for flue cured tobacco was too high. The agriculture department was forced to tie in the price support formula to the Federal Tobacco Act in order to keep up with foreign competitors, according to Cyrus.

"The small quota of flue-cured tobacco plus the low price support might permit poultry to pass tobacco for the first time as the state's top cash receipt," Cyrus said. "It could happen this year." North Carolina tobacco farmers have been forced to diversify their crops to stay afloat, Cyrus said. For example, in addition to poultry and hogs, farmers have planted more corn, sweet potatoes and fruit crops, such as peaches. "The result has been North Carolina becoming the nation's top producer of sweet potatoes," Cyrus said. "We overtook Louisiana in that category. We're also the top turkey producer. Part of the poultry business (is) making a run at tobacco," he said. Cyrus said diversification had been most UNC students. "We're not targeting students," Martin said. "Everybody else is targeting students." Martin said that interest in the development, located on two lots between Northhampton Plaza and Townhouse Apartments, came mostly from people who were looking for smaller dwellings after their children had moved away.

Republican Party would remain DEEJERY ($8 Minimum Order) 933-9248 omit REAL PIT BAR-B-Q mm u u The Daily an on-going process for many years. "In 1946, 58 percent of the total agricultural income in North Carolina was tobacco," he said. "In the last several years, it's been 30 percent. If you compare 1946 and recent statistics, youH see a multitude of new livestock and crops which were insignificant then but have become important cash crops," Cyrus said. The two major problems faced by the industry, according to Cyrus, are foreign competition and a rise in value of the U.S. dollar. "Foreign competition is a big prob lem," Cyrus said. "Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and India are producing flue-cured tobacco. Brazil's tobacco has come closer to U.S. tobacco in quality and flavor. They produced 513 million pounds in 1983-84, and North Carolina produced 522 million pounds. They're the same. "The most important goal will be to make this a two-party state. We could conceivably go from 3-1 (ratio of Democrats to Republicans) to 2-1 this year," he said. Flaherty praised the leadership of several prominent Repub licans including Sen. Jesse Helms and President Reagan, saying they would add to the strength of the party in North r I mmm BRING THIS COUPON IN BETWEEN 5-9 PM MON-SAT AND GET 1 0 OFF ANY HOAGIE'S SANDWICHES I Novt to thft A&P b wm h wm Km mm s.

Concerning the U.S. dollar, Cyrus said the higher exchange rate had created a big demand for the dollar, preventing many foreign countries from buying as much U.S. tobacco. "For example, even though our price support has remained the same since 1962, our tobacco now costs West Germany 60 percent more than it did three years ago," he said. Cyrus had some reassuring news for the tobacco industry, saying there is one point many people overlook. "There are six million tillable acres in the state," he said. "Only 62,000 of those acres are used for tobacco, yet it accounts for 27 percent of the total agricultural income. No one has come up with a commodity with a market that could replace tobacco. Airport Road "People . . . whoVe expressed the most interest are retired people and the so-called empty nesters," Martin said. So far, two of the two-bedroom, two-bath units have been sold at prices in the $140,000 and up range. "We expect to be sold out by the summer," Martin said. He added that many features of The Gables were designed to attract the well-to-do. Martin's staff Carolina. Gov. Martin will nominate a succes sor to Flaherty, who will likely be approved Jan. 26, when the party's executive committee meets in Raleigh. Leading candidates to succeed Fla herty are Charlotte attorney Robert Bradshaw, who managed Martin's 1972 congressional campaign, and J.A. Dalpiaz, a Gastonia businessman.
