Ft W 2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, April 22, 1985 C cutest ffeatunres faces inly a mourn comld! love By DAWN BRAZELL Staff Writer With only three days left in the Ugly Man on Campus contest, the competition is getting ugiier and uglier. Alpha Phi Omega, who sponsors the event, had pictures on a billboard in the Pit Friday showing off the six ugly candidates and taking votes. Votes cost 5 cents and will be taken in the Pit today and Tuesday. Money collected goes to local charities in the Campus Chest. The contestants are David White, sponsored by APO; H.F Watts, Scott Residence College; Bruce Cox, Carolina Choir; Don Courtney, marching band; Jesse Helms, Cobb Dormitory; and Craige Cashwell, recreation society. After one day of voting, Jesse Helms is leading, said Chip Anderson, assistant Campus Chest chairman. "Bruce Cox is in hot pursuit, though," Anderson added, "and he's ugly." Anderson said response had been really good so far and that many people have asked how they can sponsor a candidate for next year. "The big thing is just to get the contest known." With the qualified contestants chosen this year, making the contest known should be no problem. An anonymous friend of Bruce Cox said he was really qualified. "He's qualified because he's ugly. He's a great guy," the source said. "His picture looks like a 'possum right before it gets hit. His mother raised him from a n to h in this contest." But Co js not the only qualified contestant. H. F. Watts said one of his qualifications was that he was the only one stupid enough to do it. Watts went on to give other features. "1 only take a shower once a week and I'm ugly. I got a nappy head. I look like a squig from the swamp ..." David White said he thought he should win the contest. "I can be very ugly if I have to. Donate lots of money to my cause or I will talk. I will tell dirt on everyone." Craig Cashwell, on the other hand, expressed doubts about his qualifications. "It's (being nomi nated) what I get for not going to the meeting (of the recreation society). "There's no better reason to be ugly than to be ugly for a good cause," he added. Don Courtney said his animal magnetism was the reason to cast a vote for him. "Life is like an animal," he said. "To understand it, you have to get inside its pelt and crawl around in it a little while. At all times, you must think like an animal, smell like an animal, and if at all possible, look like an animal. And I do all three." Jesse Helms was in his Washington, D.C., office and could not be reached for comment. The winner of the contest will be announced at the charity auction Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Student Union. The auction starts at 7 p.m. G-I05 has donated the $105 first prize and album collection for second prize. Smith: Soviets at negotiating table to Mock 'Star Wars9 By GENIE LINDBERG Staff Writer The Soviets have returned to the negotiating table in Geneva to block President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, said a member of the Arms Control Association on Thursday's "Globewatch," a production of the UNC Center for Public Television. "Globewatch" host Jim Leutze talked about military uses of space with Ambassador Gerard Smith, chairman of the board of the Arms Control Association, and George Keyworth, scientific adviser to President Reagan. "I think the president is right in thinking that it was SDI that brought the Soviets back to Geneva, but I think our people made a gross miscalculation. TU L, m2cn atitaf-iar- z-mifr Hv. jfj ui nni' roit- r WM f Speaker advocates abolishing federal government, calls it 'tapeworm They thought SDI would bring the Soviets to the table to negotiate about which defenses should be built now and how quickly," Smith said. "However, the Soviets have come to the table with just the opposite intention to block Star Wars." The Soviets are concerned about the United States' Strategic Defense Initi ative because they have a great respect for U.S. technology, and they know that if the United States starts down this track seriously, they will have to do the same, Smith said. Both sides have been doing research for 20 years on this subject, but the United States now has a national goal to have a major defense system. The Soviets do not like the prospect of having to devote the tremendous amount of resources this would take to mount a new defensive system, Smith said. The present Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty outlaws deployment of defensive missiles, but the president has in effect said that if the Star Wars research program proves itself out, plans for deployment will proceed, Smith said. "I think that probably as long as we persist in this course, we have no prospect of getting a new arms control agreement in Geneva." Smith said the kind of protection envisioned by supporters of the Star Wars defense system would be virtually impossible to achieve technologically. But Keyworth said he believed the United States could rapidly develop a defensive system that would be so effective, that its utility would be almost immediately recognized by "foes and supporters alike." One of the barriers to arms reduction has been the fact that the Soviet Union has steadfastly held on to their large and medium intercontinental ballistic missiles, he said. Throughout the START talks, they refused to consider relaxing their requirement there, Key worth said. "Now for them, it's what we would call a pre-emptive first-strike option," Keyworth said. "And that's what we feel is so destabilizing." He said the Soviets were currently engaged in a large-scale attempt to develop their own version of a Star Wars defense program. "I assure you the Soviets have a massive program, a bigger program than that which we are proposing and debating in the Congress right now for next year," Keyworth said. JReagaiz belts congressional fo From United Press International reports WASHINGTON President Reagan,, facing defeat of his original plan to aid rebels trying to overthrow the Nicaraguan government, accused congressional opponents Saturday of advocating "a shameful sur render" that would turn the Central American nation into "a communist terrorist arsenal." Reagan also revealed, without elaboration, that in the past week, "We confirmed the presence of Russian military personnel in the battle zones of northern Nicaragua." Militia enter fighting BEIRUT, Lebanon Lebanon's most powerful Moslem militia entered the fighting in the southern port of Sidon for the first time Saturday, joining Palestinian backed allies in battles against Christian forces. At least two people were killed. Sidon Mayor Nazih Bizri traveled to Damascus seeking Syria's help to end the bloodshed, saying "all contacts with the central government (in Beirut) have been shattered." - NAACP charges Justice Department WASHINGTON The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund charged in federal court last week that the Justice Department was using selective criminal prose cution to intimidate elderly blacks in the South from voting. n Criminal charges have been brought against three blacks, one of them a former aide to Martin Luther King Jr., for fraudulently altering absentee ballots in a rural Alabama county. The charges arise out of actions by the three in working with elderly blacks to fill out absentee ballots. Defense Department costs questionable WASHINGTON The Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Group billed taxpayers for fancy Halloween costumes, lavish banquets, tickets to a professional golf event, chartered fishing trips and chalked up milions of dollars in other questionable expenses, congressional sources said Saturday. The disclosures appeared to cast doubts on Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's recent assertion that similar findings about the General Dynamics Corp. were "an abbera tion" in the defense industry. Crime percentages released WASHINGTON FBI Director William Webster said Saturday the agency's crime index showed a 3 percent decline from 1983 to 1984, but increased in the final quarter of 1984.

Fritz, a Libertarian Party activist from Fresno, Calif., told the audience of about 25 that the goverment was a "tapeworm," feeding on the strength and resources of U.S. citizens. "There is an ideological revolution that self-government, or persuasion, works, and the tapeworm, or coercion, doesn't. The mainstream of all human progress is individual choice," said Fritz, former executive director of the Libertarian Party in California. Fritz said the United States had been moving in a collective, totalitarian direction for 100 years. The only way to achieve the "American Dream," or freedom from starvation and war, is to govern ourselves, he said. "The American dream, the American revolution, the American ideal is not yet complete. It will be, I believe, in the next two generations," Fritz said. The three marks of an oppressive government are coercive membership, coercive fund raising and coercive monopoly, Fritz said. There are 180,000 government-protected monopolies in the United States today, most for services mat couia oe aone oeuer privately, he said. . Fritz said Libertarians shared other political parties' goals, such as feeding children and educating the masses. "The only difference between us and those other folks is that we have found a way that works, a way that is honest," he said. The left-right political spectrins most of us use to classify ourselves is invalid, Fritz said, because many ideologies do not fit on it. "There's something fishy about a scale where you can't tell which end something should be on," he said. "I suggest that we need to discard this model just as we have discarded the model that the world is flat." The Libertarian Party does not fit on this political scale because it is liberal in its views on civil liberties and is conservative economically, Fritz said. Fritz urged the audience to take part in the revolution to eliminate federal government and to embrace the ideals of the Libertarians. "People's minds are changing on the role and necessity of government. The more self-government there is in a society, the more harmony and abun dance there is in that society," he said.
