Students wanting a change from the typical rhetoric
found in the Pit will get it Monday at noon, when
two candidates running for Chapel Hill mayor face
off in a debate.
Student Government's Executive Branch is spon
soring the debate to try to increase student awareness
of town issues, including municipal elections, said
Student Body President Patricia Wallace.
"I guess the thrust is that Student Government is
trying to increase student involvement in town issues,
as is evident in putting a student on the Transportation
Board and trying to get one on the Planning Board,"
she said.
Jane Gordon, chairman of Student Government's
State and Local Affairs Committee, said that a voter
drive would be held along with the debate.
MIt seems kind of early in the year, but the Board
of Elections is having a registration drive next week,"
she said. "We figured it was a good time to catch
people's attention and to get people out to register."
The Executive Branch is trying to increase student
involvement in town affairs -because students are an
important part of the Chapel Hill community, Gordon
said.
"It's time students try to get more involved in Chapel
Hill because we constitute a large number of the
population," she said. "Also, a lot of things that go
on affect students such as safety and planning."
She said she also was concerned that students in
the past have been unaware of what was happening
in town politics.
"If students have an idea of what goes on in local
politics, they will be informed citizens," she said. "This
way students can meet the candidates, find out where
they stand and begin thinking about the upcoming
election. We're basically doing it as a service."
Beverly Kawalec, one of the mayoral candidates,
said that the debate would help students find out more
about town issues.
"If a good number of students come back into town
after being out of town all summer and don't know
what's going on, the debate can help them understand
what the issues are," she said.
Kawalec said student involvement in town -affairs
had varied in the past and was important.
"When the issue of public transportation was up
before the voters, more students got involved," she
said. "In other years, they've been less involved.
Students are an integral part of life in Chapel Hill
and affect every part of it."
Efforts to reach the other mayoral candidate, David
Nash, were unsuccessful.
Bobbie Strickland, elections supervisor for the
Board of Elections, said there were no statistics on
the number of students registered to vote or the
number that voted in past elections. Voter turnout
in off-year elections depended on the interest in town
issues, she said.
"In an off-year election, there's not enough interest
countywide as there is during a presidential election,"
she said. "The voter turnout depends on the number
of candidates and the interest in municipal elections.
"The number of candidates who have filed this year
certainly shows a strong interest in municipal
elections," Strickland said.

N.C. Republican Sen. John East
announced Tuesday that he would not
seek a second term.
East gave no reasons behind his
decision to retire, but aides noted the
senator's poor health as a major factor.
Jerry Woodruff, East's press secre
tary, said the senator endorsed the
candidacy of David Funderburk,
former U.S. ambassador to Romania.
Funderburk, who served as ambassador
from 1981-85, is a history professor at
Campbell University.
Woodruff said East's future was
unknown but that "he could always
return to teaching." East was a political

friends and supporters.
Broyhill had earlier announced that
he would not run. Brown said recent

An expelled member of Students for
America has filed a request to revoke
its campus charter, saying the group
violated his constitutional rights.
Brad Torgan, former SFA chapter
vice chairman, was expelled from the
group Sept. 2 for publicly speaking out
for funding of the Carolina Gay and
Lesbian Association last spring in
Campus Governing Council budget
hearings. The expulsion, Torgan said,
violated his constitutional rights to
freedom of speech and due process of
law.
Torgan's public support of an organ
ization for homosexuals was against
SFA's interpretation of Judeo
Christian values, SFA national chair
man David -Fazio said; earlier this
month. If Torgan wished to speak out
on that issue, he should have joined an
organization that supported such a
statement, Fazio said.
Torgan filed his request Tuesday with
the Student Affairs office. Frederic W.
Schroeder, dean of students, said he had
received Torgan's request but would not
comment Tuesday.
Torgan said he knew of no student
organization at UNC that had expelled
a member for making public statements.
"The University cannot violate a
student's right to due process and
freedom of speech, nor should it allow
a University-recognized student group
to do so," he said.
. Anna Critz, SFA chapter secretary,
said: "We did not deny the First
Amendment. And we're not saying ...
(Torgan) cant stand up for what he
believes. But by speaking out publicly
'We are not
being hostile or
saying we're
afraid of Brad
Anna Critz
for CGLA, he is defeating the purpose
of our organization."
SFA chapter co-chair Lori Taylor
said one option open to Torgan was
to appeal the decision before SFA's
National Board.
"We don't act as watchdogs," Critz
said. "We are not being hostile or saying .
we're afraid of Brad. It's a matter of
principle."
Torgan said the University would be
creating a double standard if it didn't
revoke SFA's charter. "The University
must abide by federal law, and I believe
University-recognized organizations
should abide by the same law."
To obtain University recognition, all
organizations must agree to abide by
federal, state and local laws, according
to the UNC Undergraduate Bulletin.
"I have enough faith in the University
administrators to believe they would not
purposely sit on this issue," Torgan said.
"I honestly do not know what the
University's justification would be for
not revoking SFA's charter."
Critz said Torgan's request was not
a threat to the organization. "The
organization will continue with or
without Brad."
AfoMnes irem&mms- a toft

U.S. airlines have not lost many
customers, despite the series of fatal
airplane crashes that have occured
around the globe during the last three
months.
In late June, an Air India 747 plunged
into the Atlantic Ocean south of
Ireland; a bomb is suspected as the
cause. Other crashes in Dallas, Milwau
kee, Manchester, England, and Japan
are still under investigation.
Even though 1985 has been one of
the deadliest years for air travel, U.S.
airlines are confident that future
travelers will not remain on the ground
because of the accidents.
Russell Marchetta, a spokesman for
the Newark, N.J.-based Peoples
Express airline, insists that his company
has seen no recent decrease in the
number of passengers.
"State-to-state passengers have
remained at the same volume, and our
number of international passengers has
drastically increased over the summer,"
Marchetta said.
Marchetta said the increase was due
to the company introducing a transa
tlantic flight to Belgium for $99. Peoples
Express also offers a New York-to-London
flight for $149.
Jon Thompson, a public relations
representative for United Airlines, said
United had witnessed a recent decline
in revenues. But the decrease is not
related to this year's accidents, he said.
"All airlines suffer a minor drop in
passengers this time of year because
summer has ended and vacationers are
either back to work or school," Thomp
son said.
U.S. airline companies have also
taken extra precautions to maintain
their aircrafts. Michael Rafen, a repair
supervisor for Trans World Airlines,
said his department at Kennedy Airport
in New York had made efforts to ensure
the safety of passengers. The airline has
increased maintenance time on aircrafts
and taken steps to ensure their quality,
Rafen said.
United Airlines spokesman Thomp
son said his company had always had
very high maintenance standards and
it reminded employees of company
safety policies in light of the crash
dilemma. v
Security has been tightened at
Raleigh-Durham Airport, said Fred
Byron, director of Airport Security. He
said the airport had no record of
passengers boarding planes with wea
pons or bombs.
"It has been assumed that the Air
India jumbo jet was sabotaged," he said.
"But if security at the Athens (Greece)
airport had been stricter, hundreds of
lives may have been saved."
Gerry Wallfesh, a UNC freshman
from Stamford, Conn., said the amount
of airplane crashes this year would not
stop him from flying.
"IH be flying home for Christmas
break, and I'm a little tense," Wallfesh
said. "But I just try to keep in mind
that returning to family and friends is
more important than worrying about
an unlikely event." .
Beth Hastings, a freshman from
Dallas, N.C. agreed.
"All the crashes haven't affected my
opinion of flying, and they don't
frighten me," she said.

UNO's Ann Schitdmeyer and Julie Hoffman block an oncoming spike
By PARIS GOODNIGHT
Staff Writer
The North Carolina volleyball
team seemed glad to be home
Tuesday night after two weeks on
the road as it rolled over St. Aug
ustine's in three straight games on
the power of Julie Neal and Dawn
Wood, who each had nine kills.
Nine of the 12 St. Augustine's
players hailed from Trinidad and the
Bahamas, but the foreign influence
did little to baffle the powerful Tar
Heels. St. Augustine's never chal
lenged UNC, which pleased the small
but appreciative crowd at Carmi
chael Auditorium by smashing the
Mighty Falcons 15-6, 15-3 and 15
4. This was St. Augustine's season
opener, putting them at a disadvan
tage against a North Carolina team
that has now played eight matches
this season and posted a record of
5-3.
Coach Peggy Bradley-Doppes
said, "We were able to play at a high
level against St. Augustine's because
of the loaded competition in the first
three weeks of our season."
The Tar Heels, after starting the
season slowly, have now won their
last four matches and 12 of 14
individual games.
Coach Bradley-Doppes said the
play of center Sherri Vogel, one of
five newcomers to the team, was the
key to success in Tuesday night's
match. She had six kills on the night.
Vogel, one of two freshman starters
for UNC, showed a great deal of
maturity in the match. "She's not
playing like a freshman," Bradley
Doppes said. "Without her we're in
trouble."
The first game started slowly with
each team trading serves and probing
the opponent's weaknesses. UNC
quickly warmed up and ran the score
up to 10-2, on the strength of eight
straight points. St. Augustine's won
six points, the most they got in one
game, but lost 15-6. Jill Berkebile
had six digs in the game.
The second game started as a
massacre with North Carolina scor
fing the first 12 points. They were
never threatened and won the game
15-3.
The final game was more of a
struggle, but UNC continued to
dominate. Neal had five kills and
Wood four as Carolina won 15-4.
Berkebile, who led the team in kills
with 61 coming into the match, said,
"We started out slow but we played
very well. We're starting to blend
together as a team."
North Carolina is scheduled to
play N.C. State and James Madison
on Friday in Raleigh. Saturday
morning they play Duke, who Coach
Bradley-Doppes said was their
toughest competition.
This weekend may be just the test
this team is looking for to determine
whether they can return to domi
nance in the ACC.
