Helms may create foreign policy
By MITRA LOTFI
Staff Wnter
Sen. Jesse Helms may become a
permanent part of N.C. history if a
proposed institute to honor his work
on foreign policy as a U.S. senator
is built.
Helms, former Ambassador
David Funderburk and other
National Congressional Club
members have begun work on the
proposed multi-purpose foreign
policy institute. The institute would
be based on Helms' anti-communist
stand on foreign policy.
"It was first discussed several years
ago and in the last several months
it V sort of picked up some momen
tum." said Carter Wrenn. executive
director of the Congressional Club.
Helms political action committee.
Funderburk said the institute
would house a collection of Helms
foreign policy papers and notes from
his last 14 years in the U.S. Senate.
The institute would also have a
center in which to hold conferences,
sponsor guest speakers and draft
small publications.
lt would be a sort of conservative,
anti-communist, pro-freedom think
tank for the southeast part of the
nation." he said.
Congressional Club members will
head fundraising activities for the
institute. Most of the money is
expected to come from private
sources. Wrenn said.
Helms and Funderburk have
talked to Campbell University Pres
ident Norman Wiggins about placing

South Carolina is hosting the
facility, but its term expires in 1992.
The Compact designated North
Carolina next in line. Brincr said.
A site in North Carolina will not
be chosen until the N.C. Radiation
Protection Commission issues its
regulations later this year, Brincr
said.
When North Carolina was chosen
to host the nuclear waste facility in
September 1986, the state threatened
to withdraw from the Compact.
N.C. legislators feared that other
states would back out when their
turns came to host the waste facility.
Brincr said.
the institute at the university in Buies
Creek'
Along with Funderburk's role as
a professor at Campbell, Helms'
relationship with the school has
affected the choice of that location.
Helms served on the Board of
Trustees and received an honorary
degree there, Funderburk said.
The Board of Trustees at Camp
bell has formed a committee to
decide whether they will accept the
proposed institute. If they decide not
to accept it, other schools may be
considered, he said.
Wiggins could not be reached for
comment.
If enough money is raised, the
institute would set up an endowed
professorship and a scholarship fund
at the university that houses it.
"It (the institute) would not be
offering classes per se." Funderburk
said.
Helms papers would be available
at the institute lor research. It has
not been decided if the papers would
be available to the general public or
just to students at the university.
"Senator Helms' impact on for
eign policy is probably as great, if
not greater, than any current U.S.
senator and a lot of educational
benefit could be derived from it."
Paul Shumaker. campaign director
for the Republican Party, said.
Publication of a newsletter with
information on Helms' positions on
foreign policy is also a possibility for
the institute. Funderburk said.

Since then, measures have been
suggested by the Compact's special
committees to make sure the eight
states will act responsibly when their
turns come to host the facility, he
said.
Brincr, who is chairman of the ad
hoc sanctions committee, said a set
of rules is being drafted and will be
presented at a March 26 meeting in
Charlotte.
"If a state withdraws after using
(another state s) facilities, there must
be sanctions brought to bear on this
state," he said.
The member states were consi
dered to host the waste facility based
on potentially suitable areas within
In making plans for the institute,
they have studied similar foreign
policy centers across the nation.
Funderburk said.
"We've looked at the Hoover
Institute at Stanford (University of
California) and the Shavano Insti
tute at Hillsdale 'College in Michi
gan." Funderburk said. "There are
some that are conservative, some
that are liberal, some that are anti
communist, but none arc in this
area."
There is no question that the
institute would be biased, but at least
no one is trying to hide this fact.
Thad Beyle, a UNC political science
professor, said.
A lot of other think-tanks don't
come out and say what they stand
for," he said.
Beyle said the institute would give
Helms an academic base for his
views, a base which many other N.C.
politicians already have due to their
direct participation in higher educa
tion as professors and
administrators.
: The financial situation of the
Congressional Club, which has
outstanding campaign debts, should
not affect the institute. Wrenn said.
"The institute should be able to
stand on its own two feet and raise

"This extreme right may have run
its course and people have given a

institute) is outside of the basic
political arena."
Minority enrollments are declining
By SHARON KEBSCHULL
Staff Writer
While enrollment at North Carol
ina's black colleges has increased,
UNC s minority head count in recent
years has decreased.
Reasons for this are not clear, buf
UNC officials say that with black
enrollment down in general, many
schools are competing for a few
students.
Figures from N.C. Agricultural &
Technical University and N.C. Cen
tral University substantiate this
trend. At A&T, the enrollment has
increased bv 468 students since the
1984-85 school year. At NCCU. the
head count has increased bv 436
since 1984.
But at UNC the undergraduate
black enrollment has been slowly
decreasing. The count in the fall of
1984 was 1,388 out of a total of
14.559 undergraduates, or 9.5 per
cent. As this enrollment increased to
15.313 in 1986. the black enrollment
decreased a full percentage point, to
8.5 percent.

Gorbachev talks to workers
about new Kremlin policies
Frorii Associated Press reports
MOSCOW Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev said Wednes
day that the toughest stage in his
drive lor domestic reform lies
ahead and accused the West of
going on the offensive to block
the changes.
In a wide-ranging speech to the
Congress of Soviet Trade Unions,
the Soviet leader also cautioned
his country's workers that the
tangible benefits of the new
Kremlin policies would be a while
in coming.
Gorbachev blamed the United
States for the deadlock in super
power arms negotiations, but he
said the Kremlin was keeping the
door open to any "honest steps"
to reduce stockpiles of nuclear
weapons.

enrollment reached its peak in 1980
81, said Lillian Dawson, assistant
director of undergraduate
admissions.
All black high school seniors who
have taken the PSAT or the SAT
receive an initial mailing encourag
ing them to apply to UNC, and if
they arc admitted, they receive a
letter from the chancellor encourag
ing them to attend. Dawson said.
In addition, enrolled black stu
dents write to students from their
homctow n encouraging them to look
into UNC.
The office sponsors several other
programs, including Project Uplift
and Achievement Day, to encourage
minority enrollment.
Dawson said the trend of
increased enrollment at black col
leges around the state has not been
the trend nationwide; since 1977,
blacks have been staying away from
black colleges.

assistant director of admissions.
"This means that no matter how hard
we try, we're fighting difficult odds.
So we have to increase the number
of black students going to school
nationwide."
Davis said they direct some
recruiting efforts at junior high
schools, such as sending out a
brochure about the new course load
requirements for admission in 1988.
"One also has to realize that each
institution has its own policies of
admissions," he said, adding that
those policies don't necessarily
reflect each other.
Johnson C. Smith University in
Charlotte has basically the same
programs as UNC, said Moses
Jones, a spokesman for the admis
sions office. He said enrollment is
down generally because of cuts in
financial aid.
"We pretty much attend the same
national fairs and send someone to
local programs." he said.
He said they send about 50
thousand pieces of mail per year.
