The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, April 14, 19887 ID arty wlfoole yoo cami Last E astto feature ttlhree baods ! By CEDRIC RICKS Staff Writer Chapel Hill has already lived through Burnout, Springfest and Carolina Beach Blast, and now UNC students can experience the Last Blast, an end-of-year party sponsored by Olde Campus government. Organizers expect about 500 to 1,000 students to attend the party in front of Stacy Residence Hall from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, said Olde Campus Governor Jacque Cavanagh. The Residence Hall Association (RHA), Student Congress and the governments of Cobb, Stacy and Graham residence halls are also sponsoring the event, Cavanagh said. The Accelerators will headline the event, Cavanagh said. Kansas's A Picture Made and local band Des perate Remedy will also perform. The bands will kick off at 1 p.m. Committee works for recognition of outstanding seniors By CEDRIC RICKS Staff Writer To help highlight the achieve ments of seniors, the Senior Recognition Committee waged a letter campaign last week asking campus groups to nominate members for recognition. "There are a lot of seniors who get recognized," Brown said. "But there are a whole lot more over looked in their fraternities, soror ities and charities." Committee members sent out letters last week to campus organ izations asking them to nominate seniors in their groups, Brown said. The committee will review the nominations and send personal letters of recognition signed by Senior Class President Anne Davidson to the students, said Janice Cole, committee chairwoman. "The big problem on the Senior Recognition Committee is finding the names of the seniors who deserve the recognition." Cole said. "We need a lot of input from the class. We can't do our job until we have the names of the seniors who have done outstanding accomplishments." Besides the letter campaign, the committee sponsors several other activities to recognize outstanding seniors. "The goal of the senior class is to recognize every senior possi ble," Brown said. "Senior recog nition is one way to do it. It's our obligation." The committee sends press releases to the student's hometown newspapers through the Univer sity News Bureau, said committee member Glenn Gillen. But sending press releases does not insure that the student will receive recognition. Cole said. "You don't know if it will get printed or not." Using press releases also is time consuming and reduces the number of students the committee can recognize, Cole said. Sending letters would take up less time and would also be more personal, Cole said. Committee members also cite outstanding seniors in the senior class newsletter, the Tarheel Senior, Davidson said. The committee also sponsored a program last week that allowed students to send messages along with dessert coupons from Mar riott to outstanding seniors, Brown said. While the committee recognizes the academic- and service oriented accomplishments of seniors, its members do not forget the athletic achievements of seniors, Cole said. "There are a lot of outstanding athletes on campus, but you only see a few on TV," Cole said. "What do you know about the senior cheerleaders?" This Kfewspaper IKE YOUR WAY TO FITNESS!

"We are not promoting it community-wide; it's just focused towards students." Organizers planned the party to give North Campus students an event they can call their own, Cavanagh said. "South Campus had their Beach Blast, which was wonderful," she said. "HRC (Henderson Residence College) had Springfest, and Olde Campus wanted to have something for their immediate area. "This is a project we have been wanting to do, so we pulled it together and got it organized. This is the first time in four years North Campus has had any major outdoor event like this." Staging the event will cost around $2,500, Cavanagh said. North Campus residence hall governments donated most of the money for the event, but RHA and Student Government also contrib uted, Cavanagh said. Students who plan to drink should bring identification, and police offic ers will patrol the event. "We are not promoting alcohol or selling it," Cavanagh said."It's just like Springfest." Students can place their empty cans in recycling bins, she said, and students should not bring glass containers. Organizers said they hope to stage the event again next year. "If it goes over well, and the government next year feels it was well planned, well attended and had no major problems, there is a possibility it could continue next year," Cava nagh said. "It could become a tradition." Student abeo1t from cooirtt beam Charges may be reduced if embezzled money repaid, lawyer says 135 E. Franklin St. 942-8534 688-2285 By HELEN JONES Staff Writer John Futrell, a UNC junior who was charged with embezzling $2,000 from Delta Sigma Phi fraternity in October 1987, did not appear at his Wednesday probable cause hearing in Chapel Hill District Court. His attorney, Joe Buckner, said Futrell was absent because of a misunderstanding about the date he needed to be present, but Buckner would not comment further on the case. Futrell has also been charged with obtaining property by false pretenses by writing a check for $2,600 to a fictitious person on March 2, 1987, according to court records. At the time of the alleged crimes, Futrell was president of the fraternity. If he pays back the money that he has been charged with embezzling, Futrell would plead guilty to a series of non-felony charges, Assistant District Attorney William Massen gale said Wednesday. "I hope Futrell will have all the money he owes by next Tuesday," Massengale said. However, if he does not produce the money in question by Tuesday, Futrell will go before a grand jury on April 25, Massengale said. If he is indicted, he will be tried as a felon in Hillsborough Superior Court during the session beginning May 30, Massengale said. Obtaining property by false pre tenses involves making a false state ment or any false representation to obtain goods, Massengale said. To be charged with embezzlement in North Carolina, a person must be at least 16, be in a position of trust and use that position to get money, he said. ; Massengale said embezzlement and false pretense matters can overlap. Delta Sigma Phi is claiming that more money was stolen than is alleged in the arrest warrants, he said. At least part of the alleged embez zlement was a rent payment on the Delta Sigma Phi house that the fraternity's national office says it never received, Massengale said. Fraternity member Douglas Daniel, a junior from Charlotte, said Delta Sigma Phi regularly pays rent for its house to the national office. David Testerman, executive direc tor at Delta Sigma Phi's national headquarters in Indiana, said he could not comment on the case until litigation has ended. Daniel said he had not heard anything from Futrell, but the fra ternity is still doing well in terms of finances and morale. "I don't know what's going to happen," he said. "It's pretty much out of our hands. We're just letting the court system handle it. Hopefully, well get our money back." It brings out the best in all of us.
