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.

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.

among U.S. citizens, said Marshall Fritz
during his speech, "Libertarian: Friend
or Foe of the American Dream," in the
Student Union Saturday.
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.
