Polls indicate that Chile's President
Augusto Pinochet will be defeated in
today's plebiscite, with one poll
showing that as many as 70 percent
would vote against him, a UNC
professor said.

Administrators' weich merits
of out-of-state

UNC officials expressed varying
opinions on whether the 18 percent
quota on out-of-state students should
be raised and how a change would
affect the University.
; Although some ad ministrators said
the limit on admission of out-of-state
students should be increased because
it would improve the quality of the
University, others said that since the
University is supported by taxpayers,
it should cater chiefly to state
residents.
, Increasing the quota could
broaden UNC's horizons by including
more students with different back
grounds, said Robert Eubanks,
Board of Trustees chairman.
; "I frankly wish it were more," he
said. "I don't think there's any
question that we have extremely
bright students in North Carolina,
but it improves the academics at
Chapel Hill for North Carolina
students to be in class with those out-of-state
students."

by the government. In August, the

Edwards and other officers have a
long-standing grievance with the
University Police, charging that they
were unfairly passed over during a
round of promotions.
The grievance, now being reviewed
by the state personnel commission,
is part of a larger complaint by
Edwards that the department dis
criminates against black females.
The controversy resurfaced
recently when black officer Charles
Jackson filed an appeal with UNC's
Employee Relations Department in
response to what he called racial
discrimination over an improperly

Students in scholarship and
athletic programs and alumni child
ren are included in the quota, which
lowers the number of other out-of-state
students that can be admitted,
Eubanks said. He would like special
cases to be excluded from the quota.
"When you boil all the numbers
down, we don't have an awful lot of
out-of-state students here on just
academic achievement," he said.
But administrators said the quota
reinforces the generally shared view
that since UNC is a state university,
it should primarily serve state resi
dents, who support it with their tax
dollars.
"It's always been very touchy
because of this question of who's
paying the bill," said Donald Boul
ton, vice chancellor of Student
Affairs. "It belongs to the taxpayers,
and they have to have the first crack
at it."
Eubanks agreed: "I think it's low
because Chapel Hill is a state uni
versity and our first service is to the
state of North Carolina. It's awfully

students and ask the legislature to

The UNC Board of Governors set
the quota at 18 percent for the UNC
system about three and a half years
ago to prevent an even lower quota,
said CD. Spangler, UNC-system
president.
"It was set after studying the
situation and realizing that it was
likely the General Assembly would
set a quota that would be substan
tially lower than the Board of Gov
ernors wished," he said.
But the quota is likely to remain
limited, Spangler said. "While out-of-state
students are welcomed into the
University of Nortrr Carolina at all
of our campuses, the mission of the
University primarily is to serve the
people of North Carolina," he said.
UNC's quota is moderate when
compared to other large public
universities. Some, like Michigan

The senior class officers and
marshals held the first ever meeting

careers and continuing education.
About 60 people attended the
meeting. Attendance may have
been hurt by the fact that the
meeting had to be moved from

More than 917 students, represent

Congress fall elections Tuesday,
about the amount that student leaders
and elections board officers said they

The large South Campus districts

said Neil Riemann, Student Congress
speaker.
There was some confusion con
cerning returns in District 16, which
covers Morrison, Craige and Hinton

votes out of 174 cast were not
registered on the sign-in sheets. Such
a discrepancy could mean that voters
didn't sign the sheet, a sheet was lost,
or that the ballot box had been
illegally stuffed, said Wilborn Rob

Pinochet gained power through a
military coup in 1973, which over
turned Chile's decades-long tradition
of democracy. Former President
Salvador Allende, a socialist who had
been elected in 1970, died during the
because of a scheduling conflict at

"This is exciting because we're

The meeting gave the senior class

decided a registration sheet had been
