Japanese businessmen are hoping the
United States will not make U.S.
markets more difficult to enter than they
already are, said John P. Evans, dean
of UNC's School 'of Business
Administration.
Evans was part of a group of five
U.S. business school deans to spend two
weeks in Japan in July as a guest of
a Japanese business foundation. In an
interview Thursday he said Japanese
businessmen had a great fear of the
rising protectionism movement in the
United States.
"The reaction of Japanese business
men (to rising U.S. protectionism) is in
two parts," Evans said. "One, they hope
that we wont make our markets any
more difficult to enter than they already
are and, two, they feel that Japanese
markets are more open than Americans
perceive."
. The Reagan Administration resisted
pressure from special interest groups
and rejected calls for protectionist
moves to cut the huge trade deficit with
Japan. But on Saturday President
Reagan announced that the administra
tion would take action against unfair
trade practices by Korea, Brazil and
Japan.
Administration spokesmen have said
that the administration would take
unspecified action against Japanese
policies limiting the sale of U.S.
cigarettes in Japan. Japan has long
restricted the sale of American
cigarettes through price-setting and
limiting distribution in order to protect
Japanese cigarette manufacturers.
The Japanese premier Yasuhiro
Nakasone announced plans to improve
foreign access to Japanese markets
during Evans second week in Japan.
Evans said that the Japanese had a lot
to lose in losing the U.S. market, more
than the United States did in losing the
Japanese market.
"We are an important trading partner
for them and they are an important
trading partner for us, especially in the
future," Evans said. "It is much more
important for the Japanese to keeplhe
U.S. as a trading partner."
The Japanese emphasize foreign
trade in their businesses and in training
for their businessmen because it is a
necessity for their island nation, Evans
said. He said the Japanese had to look
toward international trade to keep their
standard of living high.
Japan has almost no natural resour
ces of its own, so it is forced to
emphasize foreign trade, but the United
States does not necessarily have to look
to foreign trade to support itself,
according to Evans.
"We could (theoretically) contem
plate shutting our borders if we wanted
to," Evans said. "However, we should
expect to be engaged in a more inter
nationalized world economy."
Evans said that business schools
should include in their programs the
study of international trade. He said
students should study the environment
that business is conducted in, including
the international environment.
Evans said that business students
should not necessarily study Japan, but
that they should be exposed to different
types of foreign cultures, By studying
other cultures, U.S. businesses are

foreign businesses.
"Companies are now designating
people to study Japan and other foreign
businesses," Evans said.
Some U.S. businesses are competing
well in the Japanese market, Evans said.
He wasnt able to observe many effects
of U.S. businesses in Japan, but there
were quite a lot of U.S. fast food
franchises in Tokyo.
"We did not see many U.S. electronic
products," Evans said. "On the streets,
though, you could see a number of fast
food places originating in the U.S."
Japan ha$ come a long way in the
last "35 'years, Evans said.- The nation
has gone from being a war-torn,
occupied nation with virtually no
industry to a nation with one of the
strongest economies in the world, he
said.
Evans said that Japan was facing an
indentity crisis. He said it had been a
country used to trying to rebuild and
strengthen its economy for the last 35
years, but it had reached a stage where
it was dominating the markets that it
was simply trying to compete in before.
"Japan has not yet sorted out its role,
what it should be as a world citizen,"
Evans said.
He said that the United States had
been a point of strength for the nation
during the past 35 years. The U.S.
military had protected Japan, while the
government of the United States had
supported the nation in its efforts to
expand into world markets.
The United States has made attempts
to help Third World nations stabilize
their economies and to be a good world
citizen. Evans sees the role of the
Japanese being similar within the next
few decades.
"In the next generation it will be
interesting to see if Japan steps into
those roles," Evans said.

Citing personal reasons, former
Democratic Gov. Jim Hunt
announced Thursday that he will not
seek the U.S. Senate seat currently
held by Republican John East in
1986.
Hunt announced his decision in
a letter which was sent to approx
imately 2,000 of his friends and
supporters.
"Governor Hunt looked at the
political situation and concluded
that he could win," said Gary Pierce,
Hunt's former press secretary and
campaign director in the 1984 Senate
race. "But for 15 years, his family
has taken a back seat. This time, he's
putting his family first. He decided
not to put his family through another
race so soon after 1984."
Baxter Hunt, son of the former
governor, recently left for Princeton
University to attend graduate school
and could not be reached for com
ment. Gov. Hunt's daughter, Rachel,
a UNC junior, could not be reached
at her UNC dormitory Thursday.
Pierce said Hunt would continue
to practice law in the Raleigh firm
of Spruill and Spruill and would tend

Taylor plan:

During the week, he's just another
lanky junior ambling across campus in
a knit shirt and baggy shorts. But when
five football Saturdays roll around this
fall in Chapel Hill, he will evolve into
a crazed maniac prancing around a
platform working thousands of students
(and occasionally even alumni) into a
frenzy.
Who is this seemingly schizophrenic
campus celebrity? Jeff Taylor, UNC's
mikeman for the 1985 football season;
A native of Charlotte, Taylor won
last spring's tryout among a dozen or
so contestants by dressing as the
ultimate geek. His costume complete
with slide rule, Taylor used his spon
taneous sense of humor to convince the
judges he was the one to succeed the
legendary Lump.
So can we expect to see the geek make
a return appearance? Maybe, maybe
not. As of Wednesday night, Taylor
wasn't even sure.
"As of right now, I have no game
plan," Taylor said. "I think it's better
to go out there nervous because that's
when I tend to do funny things, stupid
things. Preparation is good to a certain
extent, but when you get up in front
of thousands of people youVe got to
have a little craziness. I cant get crazy
unless I'm a little nervous."
Taylor said he was banking on his
ability to improvise to help him get over
opening-day jitters and build support
as the Heels take on the LSU Tigers.
But he added that Carolina fans should

students out of the air-conditioning
to various business ventures. Pierce
said Hunt is involved with the
National Education Committee and
would stay active politically.
"Some stories said we couldn't
raise enough money," Pierce said.
"The Raleigh News and Observer
said we couldn't raise but $2 or $3
million. That's crap, basically. We
could raise $5 million.
"The other thing is that they're
saying Governor Hunt is tired and
worn out from 1984," he said. "He's
about as tired as Pete Rose is of
playing baseball. He's got the
energy."
Pierce said he was happy for Hunt
personally, even though he didnt
like the decision politically.
Retired Duke University Presi
dent and former N.C. Gov. Terry
Sanford issued a statement regarding
his probable bid for East's seat on
Thursday .
"I want to represent North Carol
ina in the United States Senate and
I will hold a press conference in
Raleigh Oct. 1. I feel strongly that
North Carolina is entitiled to a
different voice in the U.S. Senate,"
Sanford said.

Taylor's interest in becoming mike
man was initially piqued when he was
a boy going to Duke and N.C. State
games where his father went for his
undergraduate and graduate degrees.
"I was kind of a cut-up as a kid,"
he said. "I just looked at it and decided
I'd like to do that. Then I saw the
football players, especially the ones who
got carried off the field on stretchers,
and saw I didnt want to do that."
Taylor attended a camp for mikemen,
mascots and cheerleaders last month at
Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacks
burg, Va. Although the camp didnt give
him any ideas for his own act, Taylor
said it made him appreciate the freedom
he had when compared to the other

the party has several other candi
dates who are interested in running
for Senate.
"We still think the election will be
a great chance for us to win the seat
back," he said. "But Gov. Hunt
wouldVe been a strong candidate."
Turlington listed Sanford, Con
gressman Charlie Rose, former N.C.
Secretary of Commerce Lauch Fair

day, Mecklenburg County Commis
sioner Fountain Odom, and former
N.C. Insurance Commissioner John
Ingram (Democratic nominee for
Senate in 1978) as individuals who
have shown interest in challenging
East.
Turlington said Hunt had raised
nearly $10 million in his 1984 race
and that the Democratic Party
would be able to raise the needed
funds.
"I beleive this will be a high interest
and high visiblity race nationwide,"
he said. "I'm convinced that well be
able to raise adequate amounts."
"A lot of trends are in our direc

"At most other schools, the mikeman

CGC comminnitoee tackles
cainmpiLiis secuirotty concerns
By GUY LUCAS

The groundwork for improving
security on campus began in a meeting
Wednesday afternoon between Dean of
Students Donald Boulton and represen
tatives of the Campus Governing"
Council.
As a result of the meeting, the CGC's
committee on campus security Friday
will begin organizing campus-watch
programs in the residence areas. The
committee also will contact the Univer
sity police about the possibility of a
campus patrol involving students.
CGC Speaker Wyatt Closs (Dist. 10)
and Jimmy Greene (Dist. 9), head of
the committee, met with Boulton to
discuss the results of a survey on security
that ran in The Daily Tar Heel last
week. They also discussed suggestions
voiced earlier by other CGC
representatives.
Campus-watch programs would be
similar to neighborhood-watch pro
grams, Greene said.
A campus patrol would be similar to
patrols on N.C. State's campus, where
students carry a walkie-talkie and a
flashlight and wear a shirt identifying
them with the patrol, he said.
Boulton said a campus patrol was a
good idea, but it would have to be
coordinated through the University
police. He said he would be most
concerned that a student would try to
handle a dangerous situation himself
rather than calling the police.
He emphasized that the most effective
way for security to be improved was
for every student to take precautions.
"This is not the southern part of
heaven anymore. There are little
pockets of hell here," he said. "The less
we prepare for it, the greater the
consequences. Sometimes when you do
all you're supposed to do, it still isnt
enough."
Boulton said so many people had

an overwhelming registration advan
tage. We know they want to vote
Democratic, we just need good
candidates to convince them. Lots
of things are going for us."
Turlington said Hunt has offered
his support to the Democrats in the
Senate race. "He wants to do
everything he can."

Taylor said he had contemplated
entering the stadium on top of an

Unfortunately, he couldn't find an

players, it's probably not a good idea
to put potholes in the field," he said.
been attracted to Chapel Hill's image
as a peaceful village that the image no
longer applied.
"Every year, we get 5,000 new people
. . . and we've got to find a way to alert
these people to the realities of the world
without scaring them," he said.
More needs to be done during
orientation and the first month of
school to alert students to dangers
because that's when more crime on
campus happens, he said. Because the
whole University community operates
on the same schedule, the influx and
exodus of students is easy for criminals
to predict, he added.
Several concerns about lighting were
brought up at the meeting. Greene
asked if high-pressure sodium lights
could be used in place of existing
mercury lights.
Sodium lights, which give off a
yellowish light, shed more light than
mercury lights which give off a white
light. Sodium lights currently are used
along Stadium Drive and in the Rams
Head parking lot.
Boulton said the request would have
to go to Farris Womack, vice chancellor
of business and finance, and a change
would probably be spread over several
years.
Boulton also agreed to endorse and
forward to the Chapel Hill Town
Council a request for a street light near
little fraternity court on Cameron
Avenue. Greene said it was very dark
there because the nearest street light was
a block away in front of the Carolina
Inn. He said the Town Council nor
mally had a policy to put lights only
on street corners.
Putting in more lights or security
phones on campus would not be
effective ways to improve security,
Boulton said. Lights brighten only the
brick paths, but students often take
short-cuts, he said, and the phones are
never used.
