After two days of deliberation, the Student
Supreme Court ruled 4-1 that Student Body
President runoff candidate David Brady
should not be disqualified from the SBP race.
Student Congress representative-elect
Robert Friedman (Dist. 16), and Reggie
Davis, Hinton James academic lieutenant
governor had called for Brady's disqualifica
tion after the Feb. 4 election. They said "David
Brady for President" T-shirts printed by
members of Trudy's fraternity, Kappa Sigma,
should have I sea included in his campaign
expenses. If tl 2 shirts were counted, Brady
would have exceeded the $420 maximum for
student body president candidates. The
Elections Eocrd had ruled that since Brady
hr.i not given consent to the printing of the
shirts, he not responsible for them.
Bmdy sd he was relieved to be cleared
of the charges.
"I knew I was innocent all along," he said.
"Hands down, we won the trial going away."
Brady said problems with the election laws
contributed to the questions . about his
campaign spending.

From staff reports
Chapel Hill police are searching for a white man in his
30s whom they believe sexually assaulted a 16-year-old on
Feb. 5. They say he resembles the man in the composite
adjacent to this story.
The composite is not a photograph, police said. It was
based on the victim's description of the assailant. Anyone
who recognizes this person is asked to contact the Chapel
Hill Police Department at 968-2760.
Police are also searching for a white man who was sitting
on the rock wall near Village Apartments about I p.m. Feb.
5. The'nian had a portable computer with him.. Officials
have reason to believe that the man may have information
related to the case and encourage him to contact the police.
The assailant, armed with a handgun, approached the
teenager near University Presbyterian Church around 1:15
p.m. and directed her into a red, two-door hatchback with
a cut on the front seat, according to police reports. He then
drove her to another location, possibly Cobb Terrace, and
sexually assaulted her, the report said.
The kidnapper, described as being about 6-feet-tall, with
medium build and brown hair, was last seen wearing a dark
suit and tie.
The suspect is probably not in the Chapel Hill area now,
police said. ;
Police are also searching for a black man, believed to
have raped a 20-year-old UNC student in her Estes Park
apartment Feb. 9. Police said the assailant and an accomplice
also said to be black, knocked on the student's apartment
door about 1 1:30 p.m. and forced their way in.
For Supreme Court statement
on the outcome of the inquiry,

he said. "I'm going to do my best to tighten
up the election laws, because they're pretty
vague." '
Friedman and Davis could not be reached
for comment on the court's decision.
A synopsis of the court's opinion released
Sunday stated that the Elections Board was
not clearly mistaken when it ruled Brady had
not given consent, though the court questi
oned Brady's judgment in failing to take any
action when he first knew of the shirts Feb.
1.
The court's synopsis stated that Brady
consented to the distribution of the shirts on
Feb. 3, when he saw one of his campaign
managers carrying some of the shirts. Brady
said, "I don't see those; that's your
, department."
"His conduct, which may be characterized
as willfull blindness, was in flagrant disregard
of both the spirit and letter of the campaign
spending laws," the synopsis stated.
"To hold that a candidate could circumvent
the spending limit simply by turning his head,
when he knows of the existence of materials
and is in a position to control their use, would
be to render spending limits meaningless."
But the plaintiffs did not prove how many
T-shirts were left at the time Brady consented
to their use, the synopsis stated, so there was
no evidence that the number of shirts to which
Brady consented put him over the spending
limit.
"I think students realize I can't control other
people's actions," Brady said. "And they've
seen I Ve been put to the test three times and
was cleared each time. ... If someone had
gone to the trial, they would realize this
opinion is a little absurd."
Chief Justice Scott Norberg, Associate
Justices Beth Furr and Tony Lathrop, and
Emergency Justice Karen Culbreth concurred
on the majority opinion.
Associate Justice Edwin Fountain dis
sented, saying Brady consented to the T-shirts
by not taking action to discover their source
or stop their use when they came to his
attention Feb. 1.
'. A formal opinion explaining the court's
decision will be released in about one week.

Grade rule endorsed for athletes
By ANDREA BEAM
Staff Writer ,
On Friday, tbe UNC Board of
Governors approved a stricter student
athlete eligibility requirement and
delayed approval to limit out-of-state
freshman enrollment.
The BOG also approved $899,000
to modify UNC-CH campus
buildings.
The board decided to restore the .
original C average stipulation in the
.NCAA freshman eligibility rule.
Known as Proposition 48, the rule
originally called for freshman athletes
to have at least a C average in a high
school core curriculum of 1 1 academic
subjects and an SAT score of at least
700 to play varsity basketball or
football in UNC Division I schools.
The Division I schools in the UNC
system are UNC-CH, N.C. State, East
Carolina University, Appalachian
State University, N.C. A&T State
University, UNC-Charlotte and UNC
Wilmington. At the January NCAA convention,
the rule was softened to allow high
grade-point averages to offset low
SAT scores. This would allow an
entering freshman athlete in 1986 to
score as low as 660 on the SAT
provided he had a 2.2 GPA. The
minimum SAT score would rise to 700
within two years. UNC campuses
voted against this alteration.
"By definition, a C is the minimum
acceptable grade awarded," said
Samuel H. Poole, board member and
chairman of the Special Committee on
Intercollegiate Athletics. "Student
athletes with lower high school aver
ages would be better served by
devoting all their time studying as
freshmen in college." N
Poole commended UNC-CH Chan
cellor Christopher C. Fordham III
and N.C. State Chancellor Bruce
Poulton's agreement with Duke Pres
ident Keith Brodie to only award
freshman athlete eligibility to those
with a 2.0 high school GPA or better
and a SAT minimum of 700.
Poole said the agreement between -schools
would take effect in the next
academic year, and not two years from
now as the Proposition 48 alteration
suggested. . . ;
Poole asked the board to urge the
ACC to approve this requirement in
May to be effective in the conference
beginning in the 1987-88 school year.
Poole said that although this assign
ment had ended, more work remained
in the area of intercollegiate athletics
for the board's attention.
"In October, we will be receiving
a special report on season lengths',
number of contests and recruiting
practices that may be more important
than anything else we have done to
date."
In other business, the BOG
approved delaying a recommendation
to place a ceiling on out-of-state
freshman enrollment. The recommen
dation, presented by the board's policy
committee, would limit out-of-state
freshman enrollment to 18 percent by
the fall of 1988 on all UNC campuses
except the N.C. School of the Arts.

it is." '

'ovation. Afterwards, Friday com

to protest Mmcos
MANILA, Philippines (AP)
Corazon Aquino called Sunday for
non-violent protests against newly
re-elected President Ferdinand E.
Marcos, who declared: "I am the
president. They are not going to
drive me out."
Marcos, president for 20 years,
also announced Sunday the resigna
tion of his most powerful military
commander, Gen. Fabian C. Ver,
and threatened to abolish the mil
itary bases treaty with the United
States.
More than a half million Filipinos
joined Aquino in a downtown park
rally Saturday, a day after the
National Assembly declared Marcos
winner of an election marked by
charges of fraud and terrorism.
Aquino called for strikes and
school shutdowns on the day after
Marcos' Feb. 26 inauguration for a
new six-year term and urged a
boycott of banks and newspapers
owned by Marcos' "cronies."
Aquino, who had vowed to lead
daily demonstrations if she was
cheated at the polls, also called on
the military and police to disobey
orders that were "unjust."
"Although unarmed, I feel like the
young boy David prepared to face
the giant Goliath," she said. "If
Goliath refuses to yield, we shall
escalate our non-violent struggle."
In a news conference at the
. presidential palace, Marcos again
rejected charges that he won through
fraud and said he would not step
down.
"I am the president. They are not
going to drive me out. The people
are behind me," he said.
Marcos also announced that Ver,
the armed forces chief, had resigned,
and he had accepted the resignation.
But he said Ver would remain
available as a consultant.
Ver, 66, was chargecfin tfie August
1983 assassination of Aquino's
husband, opposition leader Benigno
Aquino, but a court later acquitted
him. One civilian and 24 other
military men are also accused in the
murder.
Ver resigned a day before Marcos,
Aquino, and other Filipino leaders
were to meet with Philip Habib, a
special envoy sent by President
Reagan to observe the aftermath of
the divisive election.
Marcos said: "I am convinced that
if there was any fraud, it may have
been committed by the lower levels
and not authorized by the upper
leadership. Probably that might also
be true about the opposition."
Asked to comment on Reagan's
statement that his victory over
Aquino was marked by fraud,
Marcos said Reagan "had been
wrongly informed, and I intend to
see to it that the correct information
reaches him."
said Sunday on CBS
program "Face the
Marcos
interview
Nation" that he would abrogate the
military bases treaty with the United
States if the Reagan administration
cuts off aid to his government.
