Two referendums dealing with
allocations of student activities fees
will be placed on the campus election
ballot Feb. 16 as a result of actions
taken Wednesday by Student Con
gress members.
The total number of referendums
on the ballot is now six.
One referendum will ask students
if their student activities fees should
be used to fund the Carolina Gay and
Lesbian Association.
The other referendum will ask for
a $1 increase in student fees for the
fall 1988 and spring 1989 semesters,
to purchase new equipment for
Student Television (STV).
Referendums may be placed on the
ballot either by a vote of Student
Congress or with a petition signed by
10 percent of the student body
about 2,200 students.

Election officials refused a request
from student body presidential can
didate Keith Poston that would have
allowed him to exceed the official
campaign spending limit of $400.
Poston said Thursday he would
appeal the decision.
Poston said he requested the
increase because he needs to replace
a large number of his campaign
posters. Over 350 of the 500 posters
have been removed from campus
buildings since Jan. 24, he said.

CLEMSON, S.C. The televisa
tion of Thursday night's game against
Clemson provided Dean Smith with
some insight into the maturation of
his young North Carolina basketball
team.
Smith sat tight as he watched the
eighth-ranked Tar Heels squander
most of a 1 5-point lead, opting to wait
for the upcoming TV timeout instead
of calling one of his own to reverse
the Tigers' momentum. Much to the
coach's relief, UNC snapped out of
its second-half trance in time to race
away with an 88-64 win over Clemson

the CGLA referendum.
Bailey said he will present the
petition to the Elections Board so it
can be placed on the ballot. The
results of the referendum will be non
binding. McNeill said he thinks most stu
dents will vote to defund the CGLA.
"About 95 percent of those who
signed the petition said they will go
out and vote to defund the CGLA,"
he said.
But Rob Friedman, speaker of the
congress, said students should sup
port CGLA funding.
"Students should vote against it
(defunding the CGLA) because it
singles out a group," Friedman said.
"If we did a referendum like this for
blacks in the '50s, it would have
passed."

"At least three-fourths of my
posters are disappearing 24 hours
after they've been put up," Poston
said. "It's beyond the point where
people do it just in spite."
Poston said the fact that he is the
only candidate to speak out against
funding of the Carolina Gay and
Lesbian Association (CGLA) may

Center director) all along that we're
willing to insert the word 'legal'

Zalewski said that Ticketron will
change the wording of the disclai
mer to meet Smith Center officials'
request on the new tickets. Tick
etron plans to print new tickets on
March 27.
Camp is supposed to contact
Ticketron officials sometime before
March 27 and let them know
exactly what he wants printed on
the tickets, Zalewski said.
"Our main job is to please our
clients," Zalewski said. "We will
print whatever they want us to."
Camp said he is planning to
request that the word 'legal' be
inserted into the current disclaimer,

"Clemson had that run in the
second half, but I refused to take a
timeout," Smith said of the 15-3 Tiger
spurt that sliced a comfortable UNC
lead to three, 52-49. "I decided to wait
for the TV timeout. If Clemson goes
ahead, so be it.
"With the experienced players we
now have, like (Jeff) Lebo and (J.R.)

The Tar Heels did handle the
situation, though, responding with a

he said.
Poston said he did not want to
make official accusations, but that he
felt the disappearances were "not
random."
Don Suggs, CGLA chairman, said
the CGLA would never support the
removal of campaign signs.
"I don't agree with Keith Poston's
views," he said, "but I would never
support anything as petty as tearing

Camp said he doesn't plan to

it would only affect Ticketron

Students and faculty expressed
concerns about a proposed revision
of the pass fail system at a public
hearing Thursday sponsored by the
educational policy committee.
If the proposal is passed by Faculty
Council, students would set a target
grade for any course they declare
pass fail. If students reach or exceed
the target grade they set, their target
grade will appear on their records.
If students fall short of the target
grade, they would receive a "P" or
an "F."
A second part of the proposal
would prevent students with less than
12 graded academic hours from
declaring a course pass fail.
Faculty and students raised objec
tions that under the new option,
students would use less effort in pass
to dunk Tigers, 88-64
really worried about the outcome,"
Reid said. "But (Campbell's) a good
player, and we tried to take the ball
to him all night to get him in foul
trouble."
Reid and Lebo tied for team
scoring honors with 17 points apiece,
with Reid adding a game-high 10
rebounds to offset his six turnovers.
Steve Bucknall had 13 points, Rick
Fox 12 and Ranzino Smith 10 to
round out the Tar Heel double-figure
scorers.
North Carolina made 21 second
half free throws and finished 24-of-26
from the line for the game.
Clemson, conversely, made just four
of 13 attempts on the evening.

student said he could not identify the
man.
Dennis Appleyard, associate chair
man of economics, which is located
in Gardner Hall, said Thursday that
he was unaware of the incident but
would look into it today.
Poston said he has spent over $300
during his campaign. To replace the
posters he will need more than the
$400 allowed by the Elections Board
for student body president candi
dates, he said.
"It's wasting my money," he said.
'I'm finding it impossible to run a
fail courses than students who are
graded on the regular scale.
"It's kind of a sell-out," said Sophie
Sartain, a senior from Dallas, Texas.
"It's like playing a game and saying,
'If I lose, it doesn't count, but if I
win, it counts.' "
Committee member Douglas Kelly
said, "The change won't get rid of
abuses, but it will encourage more
honest, scholarly use of the pass fail
system. That kind of use is really
worth encouraging."
The proposal has built-in limita
tions that would prevent abuse of the
system, said Miles Fletcher, educa
tional policy committee chairman.
The proposal still prevents students
from taking most courses required for
their majors and to fulfill perspectives
pass fail, Kelly said. "This limitation
eliminates the 'reward without risk'
argument," he said.
"We're very happy to win. I
certainly would have been happy with
a one-point win here," Dean Smith
said. "I was concerned about Wake
Forest, too, and everybody laughed
at me."
For a short time, it 'looked as if
the Tar Heels were headed for an eerie
repeat of their confounding 83-80 loss
to the Deacons last week. In that one,
UNC blew an 1 1 -point halftime lead.

Julie Miller, Elections Board
chairwoman, said that after consid

impossible.
"If we make a concession for one
candidate, we have to make it for all

it's my job to grant them more

The proposed pass fail change
adds incentive for students to work
in a pass fail course, not just to aim
at a "D"-level passing grade, Fletcher
said.
Kevin Martin, a junior from Max
maw, said some second-semester
seniors who may need fewer than 12
hours to graduate would be prevented
under the new proposal from declar
ing a course pass fail. Current
regulations allow seniors to register
for less than 12 hours with special
permission.
The change could prevent seniors
from taking extra courses that inter
est them because they wouldn't be
able to take them pass fail under the
proposal, Martin said.
