Students living on South Campus
eventually may find themselves paying
more than $100 a semester for a
mandatory meal plan.
According to an agreement approved
by the Board of Trustees in March 1983,
if measures such as the $100 mandatory
meal plan and the $10 per semester fee
fail to finance food service renovations
adequately, a full mandatory meal plan
similar to the one in Granville Towers
will be developed for South Campus
residents.
The agreement was signed by Chan
cellor Christopher C. Fordham III,
Vice-Chancellors Wayne R. Jones and
Donald A. Boulton and former Student
Body President Michael P. Vanden
bergh. It was approved unanimously by
the BOT in a mail ballot.
Sherrod Banks, president of the
Black Student Movement, said the
proposal for a full board plan could
harm many students, especially blacks,
living on South Campus.
"Ninety percent of the blacks living
on campus live on South Campus," he
said. "Of these, 70 to 80 percent are
on some sort of financial aid.
"To have South Campus have a full
board plan would be giving a large cost
to students not able to afford that cost.
That's the alarming part."
Chase Hall has a history of not
generating revenue, according to several
reports. In the assessment report
conducted by the consultants Hill,
Inlow and Jacobs, who were hired by
the University to study the food service,
it was recommended that Chase Hall
be renovated. They also suggested,
however, that Chase serve cafeteria-type
meals only at dinner, since they felt
students did not use the facility enough
during breakfast and lunch.
A Food Service Study conducted in
1981 by the UNC Office of Business
and Finance also showed that most
students living on South Campus did
not eat breakfast or lunch in Chase.
Banks said the agreement that the
BOT passed had a stipulation regarding
a South Campus board plan because
Chase would not be profitable after
renovations.
"I think they made a big mistake
(renovating Chase)," he said. "I think
that the reason they're proposing it just
for South Campus is that Chase Hall
has a history of failure ... and they're
trying to cover their tracks."
Charles C. Antle, associate vice
chancellor for business, said the reports
found that students did want to improve
Chase Hall and results pointed to a
mandatory meal plan.
"The RHA (Residence Hall Associ
ation) governors on South Campus did
their own survey," he said. "They got
a very high return from students living
on South Campus.
"We were surprised that students who
participated in that survey were very
positive about yeah, we need a good
campus food service. Yeah, we realize
it's going to cost us more, and basically
what they were most interested in was,
gee, we need to do something about
Chase Hall.' "
Antle said the renovations at Chase
did not necessarily mean students would
have to pay more than $100 a semester
for a meal plan.
"Well first of all try the $100," he
said. "If that doesnt work, (well) try
raising it by $25 a year for a couple
of years. If that didn't work then (we'd)
come back with a whole different
proposal which would probably be
something with a higher meal plan
level."
ARA has shown relunctance to move
into Chase because of its history of
financial difficulties. Tony Hardee,
director of ARA, said he was a bit
troubled by the notion of operating in
Chase becasue it presented an
unknown.
"Chase concerns me a great deal," he

Next year's full Broadway-on-Tour
series is jeopardized because the Student
Union no longer receives profits from
its ground floor vending machines,
while University officials disagree over
where those profits now go.
The "Report to Patricia Wallace,
Student Body President, on the Man
datory Meal Plan" states that profits
from residence hall snack bars and video
games and from vending machines on
the ground floor of the Student Union
provide ARA with substantial subsidies
one reason the mandatory meal plan
is unnecessary.
Howard Henry, director of the
Student Union, said profits from the
Union's ground floor vending machines
previously went to the Carolina Union,
but now they go to ARA.
The loss of vending money has not
affected the Union before, Henry said,
because the video games in the base
ment of the Student Union have been
making enough money to cover the loss.
But in recent years, the income from
the video machines has declined by one
fourth to one-third of what it was in
1980, when the Carolina Union last
received vending income from the
ground tloor machines, he said.
"That affects our potential of our
ability to take risks like Broadway-on-Tour
and Carolina Concerts," Henry
said. "I just cant go into (the expense
of) major Broadway contracts without
that risk money."
Henry said the Carolina Union had
to pay $25,000 for a musical and he
could only seat 1,500. "That comes out
to about $20 a seat provided we sell
the show out," he said.
"If we dont get the vending money
next year, we are just going to have
scattered singles," Henry said. "But I
believe that (the money) will get back
to the Union next year. It will just take
some negotiations with the University."
In an interview Monday, James O.
Cansler, associate vice chancellor and
dean of Student Affairs, said the
vending profits from the ground floor
of the Student Union went each year
to repay back the University's loan for
the renovations of Lenoir and Chase
Halls.
"It is part of the debt service on
Lenoir," he said. "It is in addition to
the $10 per student, per semester fee."
But Henry disagreed, saying, "It is

There are two ways you could look at what has happened
to North Carolina's basketball team this year.
One: This is really no big deal. After all, it's the Tar Heels'
fifth straight appearance in the sweet 16 of the NCAA
tournament. It's the fifth straight year UNC has finished
in the top 10 in the country in the final wire service polls.
Two: This whole thing is really nuts. What was coach
Dean Smith hoping for around Nov. 15? An NIT bid. Who
did the Tar Heels struggle to beat Dec. 3? Howard University.
And who would never have been expected to be the most
improved player in the country? Warren Martin.
The Tar Heels are 26-8 and only two wins away from
a city they weren't expected to visit this year: Lexington,
Ky. Tonight, they will face Auburn (22-1 1) in the Birmingham
Civic Center, the site where the Tigers won the Southeastern
Conference tournament championship just two weeks ago. .
"Twenty-six wins is a tremendous accomplishment for this
team," Smith said. "In November, we were having terrible
practice sessions. Then against Marathon Oil (an exhibition),
we did so many things right. Against Oral Roberts and
Arizona State we showed some flashes of greatness. But in
January we became inconsistent."
After hitting rock bottom Jan. 30 with a loss at Clemson,
the Tar Heels have rebounded (literally) with unity and
determination.
"You wont find a more unselfish team," Smith said. "They
dont look at who's doing the scoring, and they're growing
in confidence.
"Last year, I thought we probably had the best team in
the country when we were healthy. With this year's team,
we're not as talented when you talk about basketball players.
We're not a great basketball team yet, but I hope we can
play like one."
The Tar Heels have lost three, games since Jan. 30
twice against Georgia Tech in Atlanta and once at N.C.
State. Each of those games went down to the final minute.
There are also two ways you can look at tonight's game
against Auburn. One: UNC vs. Chuck Person. Two: UNC
vs. another partisan crowd.
Person is the man the Tigers go to when they need instant
offense. A bona fide All-American caliber performer, Person
averages 22 points, nine rebounds and 55 percent field goal
shooting. Smith says that to stop Auburn, the defense must
concentrate on Person, as should anyone.
But maybe not too much, as Kansas may have done on
occasion last week. For when the Jayhawks did focus on
Person, it was forward Frank Ford who came to play, scoring
23 points and pulling down seven rebounds. Smith calls Ford
a "cross between Michael Jordan and Bruce Dalrymple,"
Smith said that had guard Steve Hale been in the UNC
lineup, he would have been matched against Ford. Now he's
not sure who will get most of that responsibility. Hale, who
suffered a separated shoulder against Middle Tennessee State
in the first round of the tournament last week, underwent
surgery Sunday and is expected to be fully recovered within
a month. He is also scheduled to be with the team this
weekend.
The game should be won, however, on the front line. If
UNC's top big men (Brad Daugherty 6-11, Martin 6-1 1 and
Joe Wolf 6-10) outmuscle the Tigers biggest three men (6
7, 6-8, 6-8), UNC could win the game by virtue of board
domination. But coach Smith said height itself wasnt always
the story.
"You shouldnt look just at the height," he said. "We play
by reaching height. For example, Jordan had as great a
reaching height as Joe last year. Martin has long arms, but
he doesnt jump real well. What it comes down to is how
much more reaching height do we have over them."
Both teams play a control-tempo game, although the Tar
Hpek have, at times, been successful in a fast-breaking game.
For the first time in his 24 years at UNC, Smith does not
have his team DUttine much pressure on the ball defensively,
mainly because of the height factor. Since the middle of
the season, the Tar Heels have played almost exclusively
a three big-man lineup. In recent games, o-y torwara uave
Pnnson has started, but Martin usually comes in to play
at rpntpr movine Dauehertv to oower forward and Wolf
w-5 C & V A
to the small forward slot.

SIMe Ihow ttakes si vagabond! view -off Americana society
By NANCY ATKINSON
Staff Writer
Ship Ahoy! Ship Ahoy! Ship Ahoy!
As far as your eye can see,
Men, women, and baby slaves
Coming to the land of Liberty,
Where life's design is already made.
So young and so strong
They're just waiting to be saved. . . .
Two hundred people sat in cold darkness
listening to the taped sounds of a creaking wooden
ship and surging waves in Memorial Hall Monday
night. It lasted only a few minutes, but it was long
enough to begin "American Pictures," a photo
graphic look at racism and poverty in the United
States, with the atmosphere of a slaveship sailing
to the New World.
The slide show, the third "People in Poverty"
presentation sponsored by the Campus Y and
Student Union, began with pictures of the days
before the Civil War and Emancipation that most
children have seen in their history books. The
photographs that followed showed scenes that were
not very different, except they were in color and
were taken not more than 14 years ago by Jacob
Holdt.
"I'm not really a photographer. I'm a vagabond,
said Holdt, a Danish citizen who traveled the
United States from 1972 to 1976 after being kicked
out of the Danish Army for refusing to shoot.
"Photography was mainly a way for me to
remember the people I met along the way."
During his travels he met Richard and Pat
Nixon, Ronald
Rockefeller, the
Reagan, John Wayne, Jay
Pabst family and other well-
known people. But his show centers on the other
side of America, the poor, who Holdt calls the
"most misunderstood group in society." The
presentation shows 3,000 of his 15,000 photos,
accompanied by a tape of relevant songs, interviews
and observations that compose Holdt's "vagabond
view" of American society.
"As a vagabond I drifted into the cities and met
the underclass in my search for food and shelter,"
he said. Being a social loser himself, Holdt said
he identified with them. But, being a foreigner,
he was shocked at their situations.
The realities of slave camps in the depth of
Florida; slave wages in share-cropped farms,
cotton fields and mills of the South; rat bites, drugs
and mortality within the cities of the North; and
poor health care, education and nutrition condi
tions all exist in the slides. They often are with
the opulence of Palm Springs mansions and Wall
Street.
"Slavery, just like the ghetto, is not always
physically concrete," Holdt said in the show.
"When I lived under the conditions which are
typical for the underclass, 1 easily understood how
the physical shackles also became mental shackles."
Poverty in the United States is more psycho
logically destructive than in the Third World,
Holdt said, because the poor in those countries
have more solidarity and pride in their rural
communities. .
His travels through the slavery-like conditions
of the South resembled a journey in internal
colonialism, Holdt said during the show's first part,
which centered on the South. s
"The prevailing American philosophy insists that
if a man goes hungry he has only himself to blame
because he will not work," Holdt said. "But why
then do the hungry often work harder and longer
than those people who are causing their hunger?"
Apathy, he said, reinforces and perpetuates the
prejudice against the poor.
In the North, where it is easier for poor
minorities to get welfare, Holdt calls the social
workers "spies" and the liberals "paternalistic."
Many black families are split apart because a
mother's welfare will be cut off ($99 per person
and $288 per family after Reagan's cutbacks) if
there is any evidence of a man around, he said,
and the "guilt money" that liberals give to the poor
creates beggars instead of participants in society.
"The more liberal North invited blacks to
migrate up in the 40s and 50s because it needed
their labor," he said. "But the Northern whites,
unlike the whites of the South with their
conservative interest in the individual, had no use
for the blacks as human individuals and, therefore,
isolated and abandoned them in huge overpop
ulated ghettos."
Holdt said he doesn't present his pictures
because he cant find good in America. Calling
this country his "other native land," he said he
does this because he loves the United States and
does not want to leave it to destroy itself with
the "wolf-philosophy."
It makes me cry to see how society is closing
up," he said as he told how the conditions in tne
photographs were even worse today. "There was
such warmth in those davs for hitch-hikers and
minorities, but now it's frozen up with distrust
and fear "
Though many people feel an instant need to
do something about racism and the poor when
they see his presentation, Holdt says he likes to
wait, sit down and talk about what can be done.
"I don't want to give any instant answers," he
said. "Americans want to know what they can do
in the next five minutes."
He said getting involved with an organization
that deals with poverty or entering a seminar on
racism, such as those held by Dr. Charles King,
would help one get in touch with the sutlenng.
But laws also are important in this issue, he said.
Mentioning that every dollar spent on prenatal
care saves $4, he said, "People end up paying much
more when there is not a welfare state.
"Attitudes can change for a brief time as in the
60s, but government is important to keep tne
attitudes around." Holdt said society will continue
to blame the victim instead of itself, and more
poor people will feel like the little black girl who
said m a taned interview with Holdt. We must
have done something wrong."

budgeting
By GUY LUCAS
Staff Writer
The Carolina Gay and Lesbian
Association's budget for 1985-86
received mixed reactions from the
Rules and Judiciary Committee
of the Campus Governing Coun
cil when the second stage of the
annual budget process began
Tuesday night.
The second stage ot budgeting
is the qualitative evaluation,
where the merit of an organiza
tion's programs is decided.
The five committee members
present for all of the scoring were
evenly divided, with two consist
ently giving high scores to CGLA
programs, two giving low scores
and chairman John Nicholson
(Dist. 17) generally sticking to the
middle.
"There was some division in
scoring along ideological lines,"
Nicholson said. "But most of the
strong conservatives are on the
Finance Committee.
Jimmy Green (Dist. 9), who
gave generally low scores, said,
Some of the things they re doing
are just not representative enough
of the students here.
Jave Sitton (Dist. 13) said the
conservatives interpreted some of
the criteria for merit dilterently
than she did. She said conserva
tives looked more at how vital a
program was to the whole uni
versity, while her interpretation of
the CGC by-laws was that a
program should be judged on
how vital it is to the organization.
"Representation, that's more
the scope of programs on the
campus, how many people does
it affect," she said.
She said she may have scored
some LOLA programs a nine
hieh because of all she had heard
about what conservatives wanted
to cut in budgets this year.
Green said one reason for his
low scores was that he was trying
to motivate the group to raise
money outside the CGC.
"We've been trying
ornnm to raise monev on
. fc v
to get
their
own and the (CGLA) seems to
be relying on the CGC, so (I)
thought if their budget was cut
it would be an incentive to raise
more," he said.
The CGLA's outreach pro
gram, which deals with answering
questions about homosexuality,
received the highest rating ot an
their programs, 23.5 out ot a
possible 30.
