On Feb. 3, thousands of students
will participate in the annual spring
elections for various offices in the
20 specified districts.
"There seems to be an upswing in
participation regarding voting and
students interested in running, said
Steve Lisk, chairman of the Elections
Board.
Candidates may announce their
intention to run for election at any
time, but there is a 5 p.m. Jan. 22
deadline for petition signatures, he
said. Running for student body
president or Daily Tar Heel editor
requires petitions with 500 signa
tures. 150 signatures are required for
RHA and CAA presidential candi
dates, 50 for president of Graduate
and Professional Student Federation
and for senior class treasurer and

"Rising book costs

With the beginning of a new
semester, the complaint that text
books cost too much has resurfaced.
Students on tight budgets have
complained that paying more than
$200 is simply too much.
The University would like to keeg
prices down, but bther factors figure
in, said Student Stores General
Manager Rutledge Tufts. uWe sell
new books for the publishers list
price in 99.9 percent of cases," he
said.
Tufts said the average student pays
about $150 for books each semester.
He said that historically the cost of
books will be only 3 percent of a
student's costs during four years of
college.
More specialized books tend to
have higher prices, Tufts said. For
instance, he said, graduate school
books tend to be more expensive
because they deal with very specific
Program matches investors, entreprenenrs

The Institute of Private Enterprise
will begin a new program designed
to link entrepreneurs with potential
investors, director Rollie Tillman
announced last month.
The program, called the Invest
ment Contact Network (ICN), will
be operated on a confidential basis.
Both entrepreneurs and investors
will complete questionnaires about
their business ideas and financial
interests. This information will be
stored in computers at the Institute's
office in the Kenan Center.
1. Use a clean white sheet of paper.
2. Use black ink only.
3. Leave at least Vs inch margin on all sides.
4. Use clean, transparent tape to attach "paste-ups"
securely.
5. Use a fresh, dark ribbon in your typewriter or printer.
6. "Screen" black and white photos for best
reproduction.

candidates will not be a part of the
spring annual elections. Students .
wishing to announce their candidacy
should contact The Daily Tar Heel's
University editor. Only two candi
dates can announce per day.
Because of several problems last
year, new elections rules have been
implemented and selected old rules
will be more strongly enforced.
Spending limits must not be violated .
unless money was spent without the
candidate's knowledge. According to
the new rules, as soon as candidates
are informed of any such expendi
ture they must fire the campaigners

Smith, Price's administrative
assistant.
One of his first concerns will be
getting on a congressional committee
which will be chosen this week,
Smith said.
Price said he would most like to
join the Committee on Energy and
Commerce, according to Smith. Due
to the popularity of this committee
among the congressmen, many of
subject matters. Because of that, not
as many copies are printed.
Other factors figure into the price
as well. Tufts said. Books with color
printing will be more expensive than
those without the costly artwork, he
said.
To keep prices down, the Univer
sity sells many used books. Tufts
said. "Of the ten largest schools in
the country, we have the second
largest percentage of used books,"
he said.
Since students can buy used books :
for reduced prices and then sell them
back, they end up paying only a
fourth of the original price for the
use of the book, he said.
But it will probably be difficult to
lower the prices much more. More
than half of the bookstore's profits
go for student scholarships, he said.
In order to keep that scholarship
funding at that level, prices will
probably not go down, he said.
When an entrepreneur's business
matches an investor's profile, the
network will provide information
about the entrepreneur to the
investor.
Investors and entrepreneurs pay a
one-time subscription fee ($100 for
entrepreneurs, $200 for investors) to
use the service. This fee helps to pay
for the Instituted operational costs.
"It's critical to the future of this
state that we encourage the devel
opment of new jobs and new indus
try," Tillman said in a speech
announcing the program on Dec. 3.
"We believe that ICN has the

due to past complications, no pol

50 feet of any ballot box. Student

she added.
Other committees that Price may
try for include the committees on
Banking, Public Works, and Science

Price will also establish agendas

Smith said she expects Price to

this rule because of the various
technicalities it may impose on the
candidates.
According to Lisk, the most
common problem with elections is
the attendance 'at the polls. In past
elections, only a small percentage of
the student body has voted. Lisk has
also had trouble finding people to
man the polls on the election date.
In spite of attendance problems,
the Elections Board encourages all
students to vote.
The Elections Board will be in
charge of the election and will
provide several services to the
candidates and to the students
themselves. Their duties include
organizing the elections and serving
as a "police Unit" concerning election
rules. For further information,

Helms-Lugar struggle
unresolved in Senate
By CHRIS CHAPMAN
Staff Writer
The effort by Sen. Jesse Helms,
R-N.C, to become ranking Repub
lican member of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee remained in
limbo Tuesday on the Senate floor.
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., the
Senate minority leader of the 100th
Congress, presented a resolution to
the full Senate that would have
named the ranking minority
members of Senate committees, said
Barbara Lukens, a Helms aide. The"
resolution omitted the ranking
minority members of the foreign
relations and agriculture commit
tees, Lukens said. ' .
Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., who
chaired the Foreign Relations Com
mittee during the 99th Congress,
objected to Dole's effort, saying a
vote Monday by the Republican
members of the Foreign Relations
Committee meant he should be listed
as foreign relations ranking minority
member, Lukens said.
"Senator Dole and Senator Lugar
had a brief conference on the
subject," Lukens said.
Following the meeting between
Dole and Lugar, Dole apologized to
Lugar for presenting the resolution
and then withdrew the resolution,
said Mark Helmke, press secretary

Bomb threats prove fake
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
Bomb threats Wednesday forced
evacuation of hundreds of people
from a hospital including six
survivors of the Dupont Plaza
Hotel fire and the inn where
hotel officials and the FBI have
set up a temporary office.
Police said searches turned up
no bombs. Bomb threats also
were received at four other loca
tions, including the Justice
Department, which is coordinat
ing the investigation into the fatal
New Year's Eve fire, in which 96
people died. Officials have said
the fire was caused by arson. The
Justice Department was not
evacuated.
Col. Fernando Vazquez Geli
said police were investigating
whether there was a connection
between bomb threats and the
hotel fire.
for Lugar.
The ranking members of the
committees will be named officially
next week in a caucus of all 45
Republican senators.
On Tuesday, the seven Republi
cans on the Foreign Relations
Committee voted unanimously to
make Sen. Lugar ranking minority
member. The vote is non-binding
because it was taken before the
Congress officially convened.
Lukens said Helms' effort did not
stem from a personality conflict with
Lugar.
"This is not a Helms challenge to
Lugar," she said. "Sen. Lugar is
challenging the seniority system."
Helmke said that under rules
formulated in 1973, the seniority
system does not apply to selecting
committee members.
"Under a new rule, called Rule
Four, presumption of seniority does
not bind," Helmke said. "I don't
know how to characterize Helms'
claim.
You also have a situation where
seven of the nine members of the
committee have said they want
Lugar to be their leader," Helmke
added.
Helmke said it was possible but
unlikely that the issue would be
challenged in the full Senate.

support faculty recruitment efforts.
The most popular recommenda
tions were offering more competitive
salaries with better benefits and
continuing to help faculty spouses
find jobs in the area. Also, the
departments recommended making
available an attractive packet about
UNC and the surrounding area.
To increase black faculty, UNC
needs an active recruitment pro
