Z2 -term loeg in &Eiti-drag war By CHRIS SONTCHI Staff Writer , DURHAM One way to accomplish the federal government's goal of a drug-free America is to initiate drug testing in the workplace, said President Ronald Reagan in a speech at Duke University Monday. Reagan was declared an "honorary Blue Devil" after addressing the faculty and students of Duke on the importance of saying "no" to drugs. Reagan addressed a crowd of over 7,000 in Cameron Indoor Stadium as the final speaker in the day's "Con ference on Substance Abuse in the Workplace: Strategies for the 1990s." In the past "too much of our media and too many of our cultural and political leaders sent out the message that using illegal drugs was okay," he said. "Well, thank God those days are over." Reagan said there are reasons to be proud of recent anti-drug efforts, noting that statistics on high school seniors showed that one-third fewer seniors said they used cocaine in 1987 than the class of 1986. However, Reagan said, efforts Attention: candidates for congress Attention Student Congress candidates!

The most conservative persons lever met are strategy must go beyond the schools and focus on the workplace with programs to identify drug abusers and offer them alternatives. He cited the case of former N.C. State basketball star David Thomp son, who led the Wolfpack to a national championship in 1974. Thompson's professional career dete riorated after he became involved with drugs. "David Thompson was an extraor dinary athlete but an all-too-typical on-the-job drug user," Reagan said. Reagan quoted Thompson as saying, " 'You never feel like you're going to be the one to get hooked. Never try it. It's easy to get involved with, and it's very hard to get out of.'" Reagan also gave credit to his wife's anti-drug campaign: "Nancy's doing a great job. I'm the one getting paid and she's working harder than I am," he said. Picking up on an earlier comment in the forum that the drug problem couldn't be solved by just throwing money at it, Reagan said that although drug seizures had increased 'In the spotlight Daily Tar Heel, RHA candidates address issues By JACKIE DOUGLAS and BARBARA LINN Staff Writers Candidates for Daily Tar Heel editor, Residence Hall Association (RHA) president and Carolina Athletic Association (CAA) president addressed campus issues last night in a forum in Morrison Residence Hall. The forum was sponsored by the Residence Hall Association. Donna Leinwand, Jean Lutes and Kathy Peters, the three candidates for DTH editor, focused on increasing state and national news coverage; changing Omnibus, the weekly sup plement; and expanding the paper's staff.

Ronald Reagan dramatically, as long as there was a profit in drug trafficking there would be drugs in the United States. "The real answer must come from taking the customer away from the drugs, not the other way around," he said. About 50 scattered protesters who were not allowed in the stadium met the president as his helicopter landed and as he exited the stadium. They carried signs and chanted, "peace now" and "money for books, not for contras." The protesters included Duke peace groups and UNC students. There was some pushing between See REAGAN page 7 Campus Elections groups, to have a daily sports box that would tell about both revenue and non-revenue sports, to cover intramural sports and to expand national news coverage. "The staff of the DTH hasn't kept up with the growth of the paper, and one of my programs would be to expand the staff," Leinwand said. Leinwand also said she would create an arts page that would contain entertainment information. The biggest problem with the DTH is that it is boring, Leinwand said. "I want to make the DTH a newspaper that students will enjoy," she said. xVvXxsNXYnv m xfxxw n V xX x x, . u, s x x XXX1 tXX-Xsf3f X Wx I -X -X t;;4x i l " Hx 1 x I XX ,xX f if vvrr.xj4 xx xX xxxxxxxxXX Xxx xyFx rt x x Xx .xv.-.

The candidates who appeared at the forum, held at Morrison Resi dence Hall, were Jody Beasley, Brien Lewis, Kevin Martin, David May nard, Keith Poston, Sandy Rierson and Bill Yelverton. All candidates had an opening and closing statement and answered one Student lot may be By MARK SHAVER Staff Writer The Parking and Traffic Advisory Committee may recommend Thurs day that the student parking lot at Cobb Residence Hall be converted to employee and faculty parking, com mittee members said Monday. In exchange, the parking lots above Country Club Drive would be con verted to student use. Students would lose about 140 parking spaces, said Brian Sipe, a Jean Lutes, former University news editor, said her goals as editor include increasing national news coverage, expanding community news, creating a business page and highlighting minority issues. "I would like to have one full page of national news," Lutes said. "I would also like to devote a page exclusively to business because it would be helpful to the many business majors at this school." The DTH doesn't inform students enough about important issues, mainly because of the lack of staff, Lutes said. "The DTH has doubled in size, but the staff hasn't," she said. Kathy Peters, former Omnibus editor, said she would make campus news the central focus of the paper college undergraduates. Woodrow Wilson acuity pay is too report By LYDIAN BERNHARDT Staff Writer UNC is in danger of losing faculty members because salaries are no longer competitive with those offered by universities of comparable size and reputation, a recently released report on the quality of the University revealed. The report, released last Monday, said UNC has lost significant ground in providing fringe benefits, and it "only clings to a good relative position" in salaries. Gillian Cell, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, agreed with the report. She is in charge of hiring faculty members for the college. "The University has an incredibly hard time recruiting young faculty to replace retiring members, to a large extent because our salaries are low," she said. "It's not only a question of hiring new faculty (members), but keeping the ones we have from being lured away to other universities. "There are a lot more faculty positions available nationwide now than there once were." Generally, other universities offer yearly salaries of $15,000 to $25,000 vying for S Campus Elections question from the moderator. Ques tions from the audience were then addressed to each of the candidates. One question directed at all the candidates was whether they sup ported funding the CGLA. Beasley said the CGLA should be given only subsistence funding. When the group goes to the budget process, congress should allocate only funds necessary for the group to operate, such as office supplies, telephone and student member of the committee. "Displacing this lot is going to be a bad precedent for the rest of the residents' lots," Sipe said. "I think this is uncalled for at this time." The committee should wait and develop a long-range plan before making these "nickel and dime changes," Sipe said. "Traditionally, these lots have been reserved for students," he said. "I know concessions will have to be made, but I don't think now is the and would make Omnibus an enter tainment magazine. To ensure accurate coverage, Peters said she would hire a diverse group of staff members to report on controversial issues. "I would like to make the DTH what students want in a newspaper," Peters said. The biggest problem with the DTH is that it lacks reporters who are knowledgable about their subject area, Peters said. "More in-depth coverage is needed and reporters need to know what to look for in a story," she said. The candidates for Residence Hall Association (RHA) Barry Cobb, Paula Zellmer and Jimmy Randolph disagreed on how to institute a council of dormitory presidents and low 9 .ay Evaluating UNC more than UNC does, Cell said. "Last year, junior faculty were being offered about $5,000 above ours (UNC's), plus research money, computer equipment and other pack ages we had a hard time competing with," she said. "We try, but not with much success." Money for faculty salaries is provided by the N.C. General Assembly, which allocates money by request of the UNC-system Board of Governors. Because UNC is part of the state university system, salaries would have to be raised for all universities in the system, not just the Chapel Hill campus. "We've had some very lean years in terms of state appropriations," Cell said. "We need some very sympa thetic help from the state. Private giving does a lot to help the Univer sity, but it will take a huge endow ment to catch up." About half of the positions UNC advertised last year went unfulfilled, See FACULTY page 5 printing costs, he said. Congress should not, however, allocate funds for activities that promote "gayness," because that is what the student body objects to, Beasley said. "It's a rational solution to an emotional problem," he said. "It (CGLA funding) really can be worked out, and subsistence funding is the way to go." Lewis said defunding the CGLA would be dangerous, because it would be discrimination. See SBP page 6 converted time to make these changes. Until we have a long-range plan, we can't be making these concessions." If the lot is converted, the Univer sity may try to convert other student lots, Sipe said. The faculty lots that would be given to students are unsafe because they are poorly lighted and the roads have no walkways, Sipe said. , Converting the lots may also drive See PARKING LOT page 7 at forum handling summer storage. Randolph said he would like to re establish the Council of Dorm Pres idents to increase communication between the RHA president and the residents about the day-to-day prob lems in the residence halls. "We need to have some contact between the RHA president and someone lower than the governors in the hierarchy," Randolph said. But Zellmer said the council would be too big a group to get together every other week. "We need to keep the hierarchy the way it is but increase communica tion," Zellmer said. "It (the council) is an old solution to the same problem." See CANDIDATES page 6
