Copyright 1986 The Daily Tar Heel Volume 94, Issue 103 Inanity' goes nap for dive4mee1t By JEAN LUTES Assistant University Editor A brown pickup truck, carrying tar paper and the ruins of an old sharecropper's shack, arrived shortly after noon Monday in the parking lot beside South Building. More than two and a half hours later, after negotiating with admin istrators and debating among stu dents, members of UNC's Anti Apartheid Support Group used those materials to build a shanty protesting UNC's investments in South Africa. The shanty will be allowed to stand until Friday at noon, accord ing to a decision by Vice Chancellor and Dean of Student Affairs Donald Boulton. The students' right to protest must be protected, Boulton said after he allowed students to build the shanty in Polk Place. He made an exception to the University's Facilities Use Policy, which the shanty violates. Group members said they were building and occupying the 6-foot by 8-foot wooden structure around the clock to raise student awareness of the UNC Endowment Board meet ing Thursday. The Endowment Board will decide if UNC will divest from companies with holdings in South Africa. "We want to push the Endowment Board over the edge," said group member Cindy Hahamovitch. Group members said Monday they would take the shanty down on Thursday if the Board decides to divest; they didn't promise to remove the shanty if the Board does not North Korea denies assassieatioe rmimors From Associated Press reports SEOUL, South Korea North Korean President Kim II Sung, said in some reports to have been slain in a shootout, greeted a Mongolian celebration at Pyongyang's airport, the official Chinese news agency Xinhua reDorted todav. lt true, the Xinhua report from Pyongyang, the North Korean cap ital would dispel rumors about the fate of the 74-year old leader.

Bobo Tanner, chairman of both the Endowment Board and the Board of Trustees, said Monday that he didn't know if the protest would affect the board's decision, although he liked students' interest in the issue of divestment. "But to make a mess of the campus I just don't see that as necessary to make their point," Tanner said. Attending Thursday's board meeting or talking to board members would be more effective, he said. In April, shanties built by group members prompted an emergency meeting of board members, but they decided not to divest from compan ies with investments in South Africa. In front of South Building Mon day, three University police officials met students carrying the shanty's walls and roof into Polk Place. Lt. Walter Dunn of University police told the students he would arrest them if they built the shanty on University property without Boul ton's permission. "The usual place for student protest is the Pit," Dunn said. "I don't want to have to arrest you." After talking to group members, he agreed to allow the building materials to remain on the brick path w hile some members went into Steele Building to ask Boulton for permission. Boulton decided whether the shanty could be built because Chan cellor Christopher Fordham, who normally would handle the matter, is out of town until Thursday. Group members met with Boulton delegation, led by Zhambyn Bat munkn, chairman of the Mongolian Council of Ministers, had been expected to provide some indication of Kim's status. The news appears to lay to rest rumors not only of Kim's death but also of a power struggle in the country of 19 million that shares the Korean peninsula with its archenemy South Korea. On Monday, South Korean Defense Minister Lee Ki-Baek had told the National Assembly that "judging from all such circumstan ces, it is believed that Kim has died or a serious internal power struggle is going on there." According to reports in Seoul, Kim had set into motion plans to relinquish power to his 44-year-old son, Kim Jong II, creating the first Communist dynasty. The reports said senior miitary commanders in the north opposed the succession. See KOREA page 4 Big 10, has resigned from his AD and coaching posts effective at the end of the season.

Many of the problems facing children stem from the lack of stability of American families, Spock said during his lecture, which was sponsored by the Current Issues Committee of the Student Union. "We have a tradition against the extended family," he said. He said that the extended family can provide support and counseling in times of family problems. American families are losing their sense of a "small, tightly knit community," causing them to feel helpless and "adrift," he said. "In the old days, if the barn burned down, you could rely on the neigh bors to help rebuild it," he said. Other problems facing the Amer ican family include a high rate of N uclear plant loads fuel,- prepares for test By FRED PATTERSON Staff Writer The Carolina Power & Light Co. began loading fuel into the reactor at its Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Monday, preparing the Wake County plant for expected full production in January. The fuel-loading operation should continue for one or two weeks, said CP&L spokesman Mac Harris. A 40-year, low power license received from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in October authorized the fuel loading. Once the loading operation is completed, the next step is to begin several days of testing, he said. After completing tests, which will generate no power, CP&L will start a chain reaction in the reactor's core. The power level will then be slowly increased and tested up to of it first.

The resolution supporting divest ment was passed to show students that AAUP members agreed with their concern, Pollitt said. "We thought we would support the students on that one," he said. The other resolution was to com mend the administration for doing the right thing and allowing the shanty to be built, Pollitt said. divorce, frequent moves by families and the problems posed by "mindless factory work," he said. Violence in the United States is also detrimental to the family, he said. Eighty-five percent of all murders in the United States are committed by relatives of the victim, he said. "This gives a tragic sense of how much tension there is in the Amer ican family." The lack of a quality day-care system in the United States is causing further problems for American society, said Spock, who is best known for his popular book, "Baby and Child Care." "In more than one-half of families with preschool children, both par ents work," he said. "This creates all kinds of problems when there is not a sufficient substitute."

The system should produce power by late December 1986 and be in full production at ' the beginning of 1987, he said. Wells Eddleman, a member of the Coalition for Alternatives to Shearon Harris, called the oper ation "a mistake." CASH has tried to block completion of the plant by trying to influence public officials, he said, adding that the group would continue to hold rallies and make petitions. CASH is asking CP&L custo mers to reduce the amount of electricity they use, he said. Harris said that CP&L's pro duction load grows every year because of growth in the Triangle. He also said that CP&L is "involved in a conservation pro gram because it benefits our customers with lower rates."
