During the meeting, students voiced complaints and discussed strategies to oppose the site, a wooded tract east of Kenan Stadium and adjacent to Stadium Drive, Ridge Road and the Ramshead parking lot. Despite student concern about the 30 G committee plans drag policy for UNC By HELEN JONES Staff Writer The drug policy being drafted for the 16-campus UNC system will emphasize education and rehabilita tion, according to members of the Board of Governors (BOG) commit tee charged with forming the policy. Committee member Phillip Haire said the drug policy draft, which will probably be presented to the BOG by January 1988, will set penalties for University faculty, students and employees who are indicted for possession or distribution of drugs. The policy will not address alcohol control, Haire said. Some UNC faculty have criticized the BOG project, saying individual institutions should be able to create the drug policies that will be enforced on their campuses. George Kennedy, chairman of the faculty at UNC, said he would oppose a system-wide drug policy imposed by the BOG. He said he favors a 7of some staderts, researches not conffined to the lab By BARBARA LINN Staff Writer Most people don't think of grad uate student researchers as waiting in line for rations at refugee camps and sneaking across the borders of war torn countries. However, all research isn't con ducted in chemistry labs or in the carrels of Davis Library, as proven by the experiences of Larry Goodson, a seventh-year political science student. Goodson spent last year in Pak istan studying refugee camps across the border from Afghanistan. He said he studied the relationship between refugee migration from Afghanistan to Pakistan and the war in Afghanistan. He also studied the Remember Robin, they may be drinkers, building site, General Alumni Asso ciation officials maintain a firm stance in favor of the location. Construction is scheduled to begin in 1988 and continue for 18 to 24 months. Original plans called for a con struction site near the Smith Center. The UNC Board of Trustees and the GAA Board of Directors unani mously approved the location in September, after the land was offered by Chancellor Christopher Fordham. At the time, GAA members system combination of autonomy and edu cation for UNC-system campuses. "Things are comparatively good in the way we've been handling it," Kennedy said Tuesday. "This is a matter of criminal law enforcement that doesn't lie with the University." If drug usage or possession affects faculty or student class performance, Kennedy said, the officials of specific campuses should step in, using already-established policies of the faculty tenure policy or the student judicial code. Although the drug committee has not issued a formal statement, the ideas being discussed include drug education, counseling and rehabilita tion, and a probable hard line for offenders. According to the working draft of the policy, faculty members would be fired and students would be perman ently expelled if indicted on drug See POLICY page 4 Research at UNC Monday: Past and Present Tuesday: Funding and Fraud Wednesday: Private Industry Thursday: Student Researchers Friday: Conflict with Teaching support Pakistan gives to the Afghan rebels, the Mujahideen. David O'Connor, UNC vice chan cellor for research, said graduate research projects have played an enormous role in creating the Uni versity's reputation as a major pointed to the site's central location, easy access and proximity to parking as reasons for approval. Douglas Dibbert, GAA executive director, said Wednesday that stu dents should not oppose the Alumni . Center -simply because of what it stands for. "Today's students are future users of the building," he said. "I just think there are some misconceptions of what the Alumni Association wants to do." Brian Sipe, Scott College presi Costa Micae official By LISA WYNNE Staff Writer The peace accord signed by five Central American presidents incorporates amnesty, dialogue, democratization and noninterven tion, a top Costa Rican official told more than 200 people in Hamilton Hall Wednesday night. "There's still war in Central America," said Dr. Luis Guillermo Solis, chief of staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Costa Rica, in a speech sponsored by the Carolina Union Human Relations Committee and the Institute for Latin American Studies. "But what's important is that we're talking again," he said. On August 7, Costa Rican President Oscar Arias Sanchez, along with the presidents of Guatemala, El Salvador, Hondu ras and Nicaragua, signed an agreement to resolve their differ ences. The treaty, called the Guatemala Plan, was proposed by Arias earlier in the year. A major goal of the accord is "a plurality of democracies, responding to specific conditions, but all solidly entrenched in pluralism," Solis said. See SPEAKER page 2 research institution. The intellectual quality of the faculty is judged by the quality of the graduate students it produces, he said. "Without a fine graduate pop ulation, you do not have a superb research-oriented faculty," O'Connor said. "It is very important to attract and retain the very best (students)." To attract and retain graduate students, funding for their research must be available, he said. Most research done by graduate students is funded by federal govern ment agencies such as the National Institute of Health. State and private funds in the form of fellowships also pay for student research, O'Connor said. Goodson said funding for his dent, emphasized that he is not opposed to the center, only to the proposed location. "The Alumni Center will benefit us all as future alumni," he said. "But this is the last major undeveloped piece of land on campus. "It (the Alumni Center) shouldn't be built on this land, though I support the building itself." Students raised several specific concerns about the site during Tues day's meeting, including the potential loss of student parking, elimination ' . .v -?-;-; v-' vr'X. DTHJulie Stovail Luis Guillermo Solis speaks to students and faculty in Hamilton Hall Wednesday night research came from a $12,000, 10 month fellowship from the American Institute of Pakistan Studies, which also! paid for round-trip airfare. Vhile in Pakistan, Goodson inter viewed most of the officials who run refugee camps in the three main provinces of Pakistan. He also spoke with refugee leaders in the 30 camps in Pakistan and observed camp conditions. He stood in line for rations with the refugees. Goodson said he was well-known among the people, and many of them thought he was a CIA agent. To fit in, he grew a beard, wore a turban and drove a beat-up car. Bombings occurred every day, Goodson said, because of Soviet air violations and terrorist actions pro but they're still totals el& nnvolvemmeinitt nnreeosEOinis By JUSTIN McGUIRE Staff Writer A Student Congress resolution requesting student review of admin istrators' decisions was passed last week, but student leaders agree that implementing the specific terms of the resolution is not essential. Both students and administrators said they are more interested in drawing attention to the lack of communication between students and administrators. The resolution was passed in response to concern about the lack of student involvement in the Uni versity's decision-making process. It asks that any proposal affecting students be reviewed by the congress or other student organizations before going into effect. Rob Friedman, congress speaker of the wooded area and disruptions of student life during construction. Many students expressed fear that removing the parking area could set a bad example for future University projects. . "We don't want a precedent for taking away student parking, which is already a problem," said freshman Carol Huffman of Monroe. Dibbert said he has no control over the parking lot's fate. Also, the designs for the building are not complete. "Anything at this point outlines loeace Blae moted by the Soviets. "There were many times when I got in my car and thought it would blow up," he said. Disguised as doctors, Goodson and a Boston University student sneaked into Afghanistan in the back of an Afghan resistance ambulance, Good son said. Their ambulance was halted at the border because a man had been shot during tribal fighting, and the aid of the "doctors" was needed. "Luckily, the guy was dead, so we cruised on through into Afghani stan," he said. Three days after Goodson returned to Pakistan, the villages he had traveled through were wiped out due to an outbreak of tribal violence. The Soviets had armed one tribe, and the Afghan government had armed human beings. O and author of the resolution, said that although congress members thought the resolution could solve the prob lem, they are willing to consider other solutions. "This (the resolution) is not etched in stone," he said. "We're more than willing to work on it. The main thing is to improve communications." Friedman and other student lead ers met Tuesday with Donald Boul ton, vice chancellor and dean of Student Affairs, to discuss the reso lution and other ways of improving communication between students and administrators. "He said he understood the prob lem, but he didn't feel that (the resolution) was the right way to deal with it," Friedman said. See RESOLUTION page 2 would be speculation, until we have the final design from the architects," he said. Another concern expressed by students involved the loss of the "Big Woods" area, particularly the trails connecting South Campus with Scott College. Dibbert said that natural landscap ing and preservation of trees around the building are part of the master design plan.

The support given to the Mujahi deen by Pakistan, the United States and China is leading the war into Pakistan, Goodson said. "If they (the Pakistani) could and wanted to close their borders, the Soviets could conclude their genocide of Afghan istan," he said. The early findings of his research indicate that the proximity of border refugee camps to military training camps causes conflict to spill over into other countries, Goodson said.
