Election
From staff and wire reports
North Carolinians will go to the
polls today for a crucial off-year
election that will decide races for the
U.S. Senate, all II House seats, a
majority of the Supreme Court
judgeships and all 170 seats in the
General Assembly.
The election also will determine
the occupants of dozens of local
offices and will indicate the extent
to which North Carolina has become
a two-party state after decades of
Democratic domination.

Republican Sen. Jim Broyhill and
Democratic challenger Terry San
ford spent Monday hectically tour
ing the state in a final attempt to
influence the outcome of todays
close Senate election.
Sanford spent a large part of the
day in his helicopter, flying from
breakfast in Charlotte to news
conferences and rallies across the
state. From Charlotte, Sanford
traveled to the Regional Airport in
Greensboro, and then to rallies at
East Carolina University in Green
ville and UNC-Wilmington. After
ward, the former governor went to
Fayetteville, then ended the last day
of his campaign with a barbecue rally
at the Durham Athletic Park.
Sanford drew loud applause from
the crowd of about 500 in Durham
when he vowed to go to Washington
"wearing the yoke of no man, not
even the president of the United
States."
Halloween crowd
passes control test
By TERESA KRIEGSMAN
Staff Writer
A variety of on-campus activities
did not keep crowds from gathering
on Franklin Street Halloween night,
but the crowds were kept under
control, according to a group of
student leaders and administration
officials.
The group met Monday to review
the weekend on-campus activities
that were to test ways to prevent
events like the takeover of Franklin
Street on Aug. 3 1 , the eve of the new
21 -year-old drinking age limit. The
group also was preparing for a
meeting Thursday with town offi
cials and Chapel Hill police to
discuss the issue.
"There were lots of people there
enjoying the tradition, but it seemed
to be under control," Donald Boul
ton, vice chancellor and dean of
student affairs, said of Franklin
Street. "There was respect there, and
everybody had a good time."
Kathleen Benzaquin, assistant
dean of students, said she had heard
no negative comments about the
crowds on Franklin Street, although
an estimated 3,000 people were on
the street.
But Benzaquin said the number
of people on Franklin Street not
from the University was still a
question.
"The phenomenon well always
have to deal with is that we attract
other folks," she said, adding that
students from Duke University and
North Carolina State University also
came to Chapel Hill.
Residence Hall Association pres
ident Ray Jones said Halloween
should not be the only event where
crowd control was tested.
"Halloween was a test to see if we
could provide things that people
would come to," he said. "We haven't
missed our only opportunity to try
things out. But, if we're planning for
the campus, we definitely need to
make sure the Union, Carolina

House candidates, meanwhile,
held last-minute news conferences
and rallies, many predicting out
comes as tight as those of 1984, when
four GOP representatives won by
margins of less than 2 percent of the
vote.
State Elections Director Alex
Brock predicted turnout would top
the 47.5 percent of the registered
voters who cast ballots in the last
non-presidential general election in
1982.
Enthusiam among Democrats
demonstrates that the party will win
the election tonight, he told the
crowd.
Sanford aide Ed Bristol said the
whirlwind tour was designed to rally
the campaign workers. This is really
a climactic rally designed to get
maximum exposure in radio, televi
sion and the newspapers," he said.
"The rallies are a summarization of
the campaign and an exhortation of
the crowd onto Washington."
Meanwhile, Broyhill also crossed
much of the state by air, flying to
Hickory, Charlotte, Greensboro and
Raleigh during the day. Evening
stops included Elizabeth City,
Greenville, Wilimington and
Fayetteville.
Eastern North Carolina is
regarded as Sanford's base of sup
port, while Broyhill is strongest in
the mountain and western Piedmont
counties he represented for nearly 24
years in the House.
Broyhill, however, said he hoped
Student Congress plan as a group."
Although some UNC students
participated in campus Halloween
activities, such as the Union's cos
tume contest that drew about 250
people, many students went to
Franklin Street, after attending these
activities.
Robert Sherman, director of
campus security, said problems also
could be expected if the basketball
team participated in tournament
playoffs.
Even if a wide-screen television
was set up in Carmichael Audito
rium for students to watch the game,
crowds would go to Franklin Street
when the game ended, Sherman said.
"The problem is that you gather
one place on campus, and it gets
old," Sherman said. "People would
say, 'Here's the place to watch the
game and cheer and yell, then let's
go to Franklin Street.'
"I don't see us preventing people
from going to Franklin Street," he
said, "but what happens to property
in between the place you hold the
event and Franklin Street?"
Boulton said another problem was
the chance that the Town Council
could pass legislation limiting the use
of Franklin Street. He said the town
had already received a proposal to'
limit gatherings on Franklin Street.
"We consider the town something
we're proud of," he said. "So, they
shouldn't pass an ordinance (limiting
Franklin Street), the same way we
wouldn't say, 'Don't use our
library.' "
Chapel Hill merchants also face
a dilemma. Some merchants do not
want crowds on Franklin Street,
while others make money from these
same crowds, Sherman said.
"Their own establishments are
helping to create the problem that
we're all facing," he said.
Jones said the group should
remind the town of the positive
interaction between the town and the
U niversity when they meet with town
officials Thursday.

"If we hit 50 percent, it would be
a good, but not excellent (turn-out),"
Brock said. Broyhill and Sanford, he
added, "are two well-known, well
entrenched, statewide political fig
ures. We have got a very active
campaign going on, albeit quieter
than some in the past."
Democrats are counting the "six
year itch," the phenomenon which
holds that in the sixth year of a two
term presidency, the party control
ling the White House fares poorly
at the polls.
Additionally, they hope voters
reject GOP assertions that the
election amounts to a referendum on
whether the nation should stick with
policies of President Reagan or
return to those of the Carter

In a stopover at Raleigh-Durham

would hinge on voter turnout. "If
we can get the vote out, we're going
to win," he said. "It comes down to

Congressional candidates Bill
Cobey and David Price wrapped up
their close race with local appearan
cesMonday after a weekend of
intense campaigning.
Cobey, the Republican incum
bent, is defending his seat against
Price, a Democrat and Duke Uni
versity professor.
On Monday morning, Cobey
attended two press conferences in
Raleigh, one alone and one with
fellow Republicans Rep. Jim Broy
hill and Gov. Jim Martin. He spent
the afternoon on a bus tour of
Raleigh and the surrounding area.
At the Price camp, the Democrat
gathered with other local Demo
cratic candidates for a rally at
Fayetteville Street Mall in Raleigh.
The rally, which included a perfor
mance by the' musical group The
Embers, attracted about 450
supporters.

personal power instead of working
with Democratic lawmakers.
"If the Republicans can hold their
own in the Legislature, win some
judicial seats and hold onto most of
their congressional seats, it will
indicate that two-party politics has
come to North Carolina," said Ted
Arrington, political science professor
at the University of North Carolina
at Charlotte.
Merle Black, political science
professor at UNC-CH, said Demo
crats "really need a big win in a
statewide contest. If Sanford pulls
it off, the Democratic Party will be
energized for the governor's race in
1988. But if Sanford loses, it means
they still haven't figured out how to
win in this new electorate."
said the campaigns were very close.
Cobey campaign manager John
King said the outcome would be a
question of voter turnout.
Margaret Lawton, spokeswoman
for the Price campaign, agreed that
the race would be very close "but
we're going to win."
When asked what the most impor
tant issue of the campaign was,
Lawton said that there really wasn't
one. "What's really important is the
opportunity for the voters of the 4th
District to elect someone who will
truly support them in Congress," she
said.
King agreed that no single issue
dominated the race, but said that it
was marked by attacks Price made
on Cobey "on a number of issues."
"The incumbent has a certain
advantage in that he has better name
recognition," Lawton said. When
asked whether running against an
incumbent has hurt Price, Lawton

Faculty disagrees
with college study
By TRACEY MAXWELL
Staff Writer
Several UNC faculty members Monday expressed
some disagreement with a report issued Saturday by
a major educational foundation calling for a drastic
overhaul of undergraduate education nationwide.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching put out the 242-page report, called "College:
The Undergraduate Experience in America." It is the
result of three years of research involving 5,000 faculty
members and 5,000 undergraduates at four-year
institutions across the United States.
The report calls for dropping of the standardized
achievement test admissions requirement at some
colleges, an emphasis on a broad curriculum, a written
thesis requirement in all majors and a better balance
between research and teaching demands on faculty.
Researchers discovered that the overwhelming
majority of colleges based admission decisions not on
SAT scores but on grades in high school, involvement
in outside activities and essays included with
applications.
Ernest L. Boyer, president of the foundation, wrote
in the report: "The American college is ready for renewal
and there is, we believe, an urgency to the task. The
vast majority of students and colleges do not need a
numerical matchmaker, and we strongly urge that if a
college does not use the SAT or ACT as a significant
yardstick for the selection and most do not the
tests should not be required."
UNC Chancellor Christopher Fordham said too much
emphasis had been placed on SAT scores in the past.
Faculty members at UNC interviewed disagreed with
the report's position that SAT scores are not significant
admissions criteria.
"SAT and ACT are helpful in determining how well
students will perform as freshmen," said Frank Brown,
dean of the UNC School of Education.
M arvin Wyne, UNC education professor, said
abandoning an SAT requirement is justifiable if the
college does not actually use it, but that when trying
to predict how a student will perform at college, "it's
a dangerous trend to move away from use of multiple
predictors."
Fordham agreed with the report's conclusion that
colleges should require a broader curriculum, putting
more emphasis on liberal arts.
"That's a legitimate criticism," he said. He added that
UNC had recently changed the required curriculum to
add more general education courses.
Brown also felt that this was not a problem at UNC.
"We're already mediating the problem of over
specialization through our general college requirements."
he said.
