RHA, Senior results

Unofficial results in the race for
Residence Hall Association president
Tuesday had Ray Jones on top with
1,619 votes, H.F. Watts with 1,071 and .
John Fanney with 671, but Watts said
he would file a protest.
Because the ballot did not specify that
only on-campus residents were allowed
to vote, many off-campus students
apparently voted in the race, Watts said.
He said he would contest the results
because of the lack of clarity.
In other races, unofficial results show
Mark Pavao re-elected CAA president,
and David Venable and Michele Kil
lough took the race for senior class
president and vice president. Don
Courtney, a candidate for senior class
president with Jane Miskavage for vice
president, filed an appeal with the
Elections Board, contesting the election
procedures.
Jones said he was pleased with the
RHA president results, but added that
they would not be final until next week,
or whenever a re-election took place.
With 48 percent of the vote, he failed
to carry the majority needed to win
outright.
Of the 3,361 votes cast, 1,019 were
collected at election sites such as
Davis Library, the Campus Y and the
Student Union designated for off
campus students, Watts said.
"1 don't believe that one-third of on
campus people voted outside of their
dorms," he said.
Watts said he believed that votes from

The selection of CD. Spangler Jr. '
to replace retiring UNC President
William Friday was met with approval
by UNC administrators, but UNC
System Faculty Assembly Chairman v
James Leroy Smith said he was "sur
prised and concerned" about the
president-elect's lack of academic
experience.
Smith, an East Carolina philosophy
professor, said Friday, "It's traditional
that faculty members expect academic
experience (in presidents), and conse
quently I expect and hope there will
be a good amount of effort to win the
confidence of the faculty."
Spangler, a Charlotte businessman,
is chairman of the State Board of
Education. He has never held an
academic position at a college or
university.
In a phone interview Tuesday, Smith
said he was not speaking for himself
on Friday, but for other faculty
members who had expressed their
concern to him.

Chi Psi fraternity, of which Jones is a
member, had raised the number of total
votes substantially.
"I wouldn't contest it if they could
prove to me that 1,000 . . . (dorm
residents) or- 800 A voted (at) : off
campus (sites)," he said.
"I think there should be separate
ballots," he said. "I think there should
only be ballots in the dorms."
Elections Board Chairman Bruce
Lillie said the omission of the "on
campus only" specification had been an
oversight.
Normally, the ratio of off-campus
votes to on-campus votes in elections
is 3-to-4, he said. If the ratio of total
votes to RHA votes at "mixed" polling
sites is 3-to-4, he said, it would indicate
that few off-campus students voted for
an RHA candidate.
Lillie said he did not know what he
would do if many off-campus students
had voted in the race.
When asked the reasons for his win,
Jones said, "Maybe ... it was the fact
that I had already led successful dorm
government and people could see that
that in combination with the kind
of ideas I talked about in this campaign
was what they wanted for president.
"It says an awful lot about how
dissatisfied (students are) with Hous
ing's treatment of RHA and RHA's
treatment of itself," he said.
John Fanney could not be reached
for comment.

have "10 or 15 years of experience in
a chancellorship or a deanship," he said.
Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham
III said Tuesday that "the feeling is
generally positive' toward the selection
of Spangler and that his lack of'
academic experience was not an issue.
"You have to judge a man on the basis
of his individual qualities," Fordham
said.
Spangler said Monday that he felt
his experience in public education
would be an asset to his new position.
He has been on public school boards
since 1972.
"It is my belief that our public schools
' and our university system go together,"
he said. "Those universities were set up
to educate those students who attend
our public schools in North Carolina."
After Spangler's selection last week,
some media reports said there were
rumors that he had been chosen by a
faction of the president search commit
tee that wanted the Board of Governors
to have greater control over University
affairs.

Brady beats

Staff Writers ,
Unofficial leader David Brady and
opponent Bryan Hassel finished within
two votes of each other Tuesday night
in the student body president race. A
runoff between the two is scheduled for
next Tuesday.
According to unofficial election
results, Brady earned 1,057 votes, while
Hassel finished with 1,055. Jack Zemp
finished third with 574 votes; Ryke
Longest was fourth with 539; Jimmy
Greene earned 521 votes for fifth; and
Billy Warden finished with 381 votes.
Afterward, Max Lloyd and Vince
Dicello, on behalf of Zemp, filed a
protest with the Elections Board con
cerning the cost of personalized T-shirts
in Brady's campaign and their effect on
his spending limit.
Brady said he was looking forward
to the prospect of facing Hassel in
another election.
i'm really excited about it," he said.
"I want to debate him Thursday night,
and I ask that he be willing to accept
the challenge."
Sensible ideas were what attracted
students to his campaign, Brady said.
"I'm dealing with practical issues, and

BOG and the search committee, said
in a phone interview Monday, "There
is no basis to that claim whatsoever."
Other committee members also denied
those rumors.
Spangler said the BOG had legal
control over university affairs, no
matter who was president. "The board
has clear ultimate responsibility," he
said. "The president has only those
powers which are delegated - by the
BOG. I feel comfortable in that
position."
Span gler said he had been nominated
for consideration by the search com
mittee some time ago. He said that at
that time, "It appeared to me that I did
not have the strengths necessary to be
university president."
After giving the matter some thought,
however, he decided it would be an
excellent position to accept, he said.
Spangler said his feelings about
becoming UNC president were similar
to those he had felt in 1950 when his
father brought him to Chapel Hill as
a freshman. "1 was frightened then, and
I'm frightened right now."

I think students want specific goals,"
Brady said. "If you can save some
money on the meal plan, or in the
student book store, well do that. We've
given the students a choice."
Hassel, who led the race most of the
evening, said he was disappointed with
his second-place finish. He credited
Brady's finish to his door-to-door
campaigning and his strong support on
South Campus.
"For the runoff weVe got to beat
Brady on his own turf, beating on
doors." Hassel said. "I know he worked
hard. He had a lot of supporters
working hard for him, and I know he
had a lot of support on South Campus."
Hassel said he was mostly exhausted
from the campaigning he had done in
the last three or four days, but he said
he had figured on a runoff. !
"I would have liked to have it all over
with tonight," he said. "That would have
been nice, but well have to see . . .(what
happens) in the runoff."
Longest said he wasn't going to get
upset about the election.
"I've always believed that after the
votes are counted, there's no point
worrying about it," he said. "I was a
lot more worried going into the forums
than I am now."
Zook coasts to win
in editorship race
By RANDY FARMER
Staff Writer
Jim Zook was elected editor of The
Daily Tar Heel Tuesday night with an
unofficial 60 percent of the vote. r '
Zook said he was speechless at the
1,265-vote margin over co-candidates
Catherine Cowan and Jim Greenhill,
who received 1,128 votes. Guy Lucas
received 438.
But Zook did give credit to his 200
or so campaign workers for his success.
"I'm 100 percent convinced that (organ
ization) is what made this a strong
campaign," Zook said.
Lucas said he was disappointed with
the results and expressed concern that
the paper would emphasize profession
alism over student issues.
"I just hope a year from now people
are not saying they want to take this
paper out of the Journalism School,"
Lucas said. "That's the biggest danger
1 see."
Greenhill said he was not surprised
at the result. "Losing is an invigorating
experience. It's spiritually cleansing," he
said. "But in all sincerity, I'm relieved
that there isn't a runoff."
Heels nip Georgia lech
in Of afaeir comeback
By LEE ROBERTS

ATLANTA Two great college
basketball teams played one great
college basketball game Tuesday
night in The Omni, and when the
final buzzer sounded, the No. 1
ranked team in the land was still No.
1 and the No. 2-ranked team was
still No. 2 barely.
The 16,659 basketball nuts who
watched first-hand North Carolina's
thrilling 78-77 overtime victory at the
expense of Georgia Tech witnessed
a living example of why the Tar
Heels are rated so highly. North
Carolina battled back from a 13
point second-half deficit and dis
played poise under pressure, while
Tech and its All-American guard
Mark Price faltered just a bit at the
end. That little bit was enough to
keep UNC (23-1, 7-1 in the ACC)
on top and the Yellow Jackets (17
3, 6-2) a notch below.
"We were confident we'd come
back," UNC guard Steve Hale (who
had 18 points) said of the Tar Heels'
59-46 deficit with 1 1 :56 to go in
regulation. "The reason we thought
we'd come back was that weVe done
it before. There was so much time
left."
One of the key moves of the game
came when N.C. coach Dean Smith
called a time-out right after Price had

Longest said he hoped the candidates .
competing in the runoff would
remember the students.
"I would hope that whoever gets into :
the runoff would develop savvy and :
look to the future," he said."We have
a lot more chance impacting the future
than (we do) tomorrow."
Zemp, who trailed the others most
of the evening, said he felt good about ;
the amount of voter support shown at
the end. ';
"It's just a matter of how the districts :
came up," he said. "I feel our platform :
was very detailed, and a lot of people ;
recognized this."
Zemp said the South Campus vote ;
helped his campaign. "Those districts :
have been most closely related to my
government," he said. "As seen by the
turnout, the closer you get to the area,
the more recognition our area received."
Warden said he wasn't aware that
alcohol had been banned from the ;
election return site.
"The only thing I was told was illegal :
was quadro-bladed chainsaws, but that
everything else was allowable," he
said."I'm not ashamed of the booze, but :
I am ashamed of the foamy bacteria :

Cowan said, "We lost, but we lost
respectably."
Greenhill said he wished Zook luck
as editor and thanked his campaign
; supporters. ' - ; y
Lucas attributed his loss to the
amount of campaign money spent,
campaign organization and media
coverage of the race.
"I think it's a good example of what
happens when you run a clean campaign
and don't make promises you can't
keep," Lucas said.
Lucas said Zook had spent twice the
amount of money that he had spent and
that Zook had more organization.
x Students weren't informed on the
issues, he said. "The DTH race was
severly undercovered. It was the student
body president every time."
Greenhill attributed Zook's success to
"a bit of negative campaigning" and the
Black Student Movement endorsement.
Lucas said he planned to return to
the DTH staff. Greenhill said his plans
were undecided. Cowan said she wanted
to return to the DTH staff.

point margin. Smith inserted the
three-guard lineup, with Hale,
Kenny Smith and Jeff Lebo, the Tar
Heels went into their relentless
scramble defense and voila!
2:30 later, UNC had gone on a 9

lead to 59-55, and forced a Tech
timeout.
"We went with the smaller lineup
to get better defensive pressure,"
coach Smith explained later. "We
weren't getting any rebounds with
the bigger lineup anyway, so we went
to the smaller lineup."
