Committee to finance S. African stadents
By TOBY MOORE
Staff Writer
A new committee at the Campus
Y has begun raising money for a fund
to endow scholarships for black
South Africans who want to attend
universities in their country.
The South African Scholarship
Fund committee hopes to raise
$100,000 to provide four scholar
ships a year. Half of the money is
expected to come from the Univer
sity Endowment Board, whose
members have promised to match
the group's fund-raising efforts
dollar for dollar.
; Groups targeted for the campaign
include companies that operate in
South Africa, especially the compan
ies in which UNC invests. The
committee also hopes to raise funds
from local businesses and churches,
as well as campus organizations such
as the Chaplain's Association and
the Black Greek Council.
"We, as students at UNC, recog
nize the value of education," a
committee news release said. "We
also appreciate that any democratic
changes . . . will be facilitated and
safeguarded by an educated
populace."
Members of the committee will be
in the Pit next week to sell T-shirts,
distribute literature and recruit new
members.
"We see this as a way to insure
stability, not to urge revolution,"
Graham Entwistle, a committee
member working on campus fund
raising, said.
Although there is some member
ship overlap, the committee is
independent from the Anti
Apartheid Support Group, he said.
"We do not take a stand for or
against divestment," Entwistle said.
"We see this as being politically
universal. A contribution to the
scholarship fund is not a contribu
tion for divestment."
The scholarship money will be
administered by the South African
Institute of Race Relations in Johan
nesburg, a private research organi
zation which distributes funds for
various universities, including Har
vard University and Trinity College,
Oxford.
The two founders of the commit
tee, Francesca Varcoe and Richard
Hoile, spent last summer in Johan
nesburg with the Institute on a
Morehead internship.
Committee members estimate that
expenses for a year at a predomi
nantly white university in South
Africa total $2,500, while a year at
a black university costs $1,500.
Scholarship recipients would be
allowed to choose either white or
black universities.

for cutting disability rolls
The somind and flininry off deadline politickin:
From Associated Press reports
President Reagan crusaded for
continued Republican control of the
Senate on Wednesday, while Demo
cratic challengers in some of the
hations's closest races were buoyed
by fresh poll results and newspaper
endorsements.
In Alabama's bizarre gubernator
ial race, Attorney General Charlie
Graddick signaled he was consider
ing dropping his write-in candidacy.
Graddick, a conservative former
Republican who lost the Democratic
nomination on a court ruling earlier
this year, has been running a distant
third in public opinion polls.
As the candidates headed into the
final week of campaigning, the
Federal Election Commission
reported that the Republican
National Committee and GOP
House and Senate campaign com
mittees have raised more than $225
million since the beginning of the
two-year election cycle. That's nearly
four times the $57 million reported
by their Democratic counterpart
committees.
Reagan left Washington aboard
Great American
, Smokeout
feTNov.20
Air Force One for a seven-state
swing that will end Election Day in
California. He made an afternoon
stop in South Dakota on behalf of
freshman Sen. James Abdnor, who
is in a tight re-election campaign with
Democratic Rep. Tom Daschle.
On his way west, Reagan stopped
in Evansville, Ind., where he accused
Democrats of a "naked display of
power politics" in awarding a House
seat two years ago to Rep. Frank
McCloskey. McCloskey's opponent
this year is Richard Mclntyre, his
rival from the 1984 campaign.
Mclntyre and McCloskey split the
vote in 1984. GOP state officials in
Indiana certified Mclntyre the
winner by a 34-vote margin, but the
Democratic-ruled House conducted
its own recount and found McClos
key the winner by four votes.
Reagan's stop in Indiana was his
only one dedicated to a House race
in a busy fall of campaigning. Both
parties agree the Democrats will
retain their majority in the new 435-
member House that is elected next
Tuesday, possibly gaining 10 or more
seats in the process.
Republicans expect to pick up at
least a half-dozen of the 36 contested
House seats.
The main battleground in this
year's mid-term elections is the
struggle for control of the Senate,
where Republicans currently hold a
53-47 edge but must defend 22 of
the 34 seats at stake.
At the Abdnor rally in econom
ically hard-hit South Dakota, the
president renewed his prediction that
a second economic boom is at hand,
and urged voters to re-elect the
"clean-up crew" of conservative
Republicans they sent to the Senate
in 1980.
Democrats took a pounding from
another source as consumer advo
cate Ralph Nader called a news
conference in Washington to accuse
the party of a "very serious strategic
campaign error" by not formulating
a national reply to Reagan's policies:

From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON The
Social Security Administration
wasted millions of dollars on
unnecessary medical exams and
tests in its zeal to knock a half
million people off the disability
rolls from 1981 to 1984, a con
gressional panel charged
Wednesday.
x The government allowed pri
vate physicians hired as consul
tants "to overbill and oversche
dule examinations," and let them
mark up lab fees by 300 and 400
percent, said a report by a House
Government Operations
subcommittee.
The Reagan administration,
under pressure from Congress,
governors and the courts, halted
the disability reviews in 1984, the
report said. Of the 500,000 people
who lost benefits during those
years, 291,000 won them back on
appeal.
New findings in ozone study
NEW YORK An unusual
peak of solar activity may have
caused the recent decline in the
Earth's protective ozone layer,
and the ozone may be returning
now that the sun's activity has
subsided, says a study to be
published Thursday.
The findings argue against the
contention that ozone depletion
News in Brief
is due primarily to man-made
chemicals, including the chloro
fluorocarbons used as refriger
ants and aerosol propellants.
Newly analyzed satellite obser
vations show increases of up to
75 percent in nitrogen dioxide in
the stratosphere between 1979
and 1984. This substance was
formed by solar energy, and it led
in turn to the formation of other
nitrogen compounds that are
known to promote the destruc
tion of ozone.
Stalin film released in USSR
MOSCOW The cinematic
shocker of the season is an
allegory of Stalin terror and its
effect 50 years later. It is believed
to be the first Soviet film about
the dictator's brutality and was
delayed by censors for two years.
The movie, which was 30 years
in the making, is called "Pokaya
niye" (Confession) and was made
for television in Georgia, Stalin's
native republic.
Director Tengis Abuladze uses
costumes and surrealism in the
2'2-hour film to create an atmos
phere that has the effect of setting
the action apart from the Soviet
Union of the 1930s and the 1980s.
Women's group urges people
to take action for world peace
By SUSAN JENSEN
Staff Writer
"There are better ways to solve
problems than to revert to warfare,"
Lucy Straley, a member of the
Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom, said Wednes
day at a gathering in front of the
post office on Franklin Street.
The league sets up a booth the
final Wednesday of every month to
meet and talk with the public.
Members pass out leaflets, ask the
public to sign petitions and request
personal letters be sent to world
leaders, she said.
According to Dee Gamble, the
league's local president, people are
no longer satisfied to allow arma
ment decisions to be made by
"experts."
"Maybe the good thing about Star
Wars is that it has forced people to
ask, Do we really need such an
expensive item for defense?' " she
said.
"We hope that the public will take
the time to understand what's behind
the Teflon-coated public releases
from the Iceland pre-summit Sum
mit," Gamble said. "Our fear is that
the public will either throw up their
arms and become more cynical, or
they will believe Star Wars is better
than negotiated peace or negotiated
arms reduction."
The League works in accordance
with several other local peace organ
izations, such as the Friends Meet
ing, a group with Quaker origins, to
promote world peace, Straley said.
During the Vietnam War, the
group had weekly protest vigils for
seven years, Straley said.
After a lull during the 1970s, the
group started up activities again in
1982 in response to the arms race,
Straley said.
The League was started by Jane
Adams in 1915, who called together
a group of American and European
women to work to prevent World
War I, she said.
"We are not a one-issue organi
zation. We recognize that you can't
have peace unless you have people
feeling they can live in some sort of
normal existence," she said.
The league has sponsored several
other projects for peace, and works
for Indian, civil, and women's rights,
Gamble said.
In 1980, the national groups
collected one million signatures to
send to NATO and Geneva in their
"One-In-A-Million Star Campaign,"
she said. On Aug, 27, 1983, the group
sponsored the "Jobs, Peace and
Freedom" project in coordination
with the anniversary of the Martin
Luther King civil rights march.
