Twelve UNC football players,
including starting safety Dan Voole
tich, have bailed out of coach Mack
Brown's reconstruction of the down
trodden Tar Heel program.
Vooletich, who is on course to
graduate next June, was one of seven
players who informed Brown last
week they would not return for their
senior seasons. The others were
defensive backs Victor Bullock and
Bill Franklin, linebackers Chuck
Sledge and Steve Lowe, defensive
lineman Phillip Cheek and offensive
lineman Richard Applebaum.
All seven were redshirted as fresh
men, meaning they would have five
years to complete their four seasons
of athletic eligibility.
Also leaving the program are wide
receiver Freddy Renken, fullback
Brian Vooletich, tailbacks Brad
Smith and Jay Palmisano, and nose
guard Dave Wolfe. All but Vooletich
and Smith would be juniors next
season.
All 12 players were recruited by
former UNC coach Dick Crum, who
left in a storm of controversy after
the 1987 season and is now head
coach at Kent State University.

In at least the first years of his
presidency, Ronald Reagan did little
or nothing to combat the nation's
environmental problems, and he may
have worsened the situation overall
during his two terms, leading envir
onmentalists say.
"Problems have not been ade
quately dealt with during the Reagan
administration," said John Runkle,
general counsel for the Conservation
Council of North Carolina. Acid rain
and the global warming trend the

lems that have not received needed
attention or action, he said.

Although students seem to be
generally satisfied with the Universi
ty's policy concerning religious sym
bols, the use of student fees to pay
for Christmas trees has sparked some
controversy.
Although Susan Ehringhaus,
assistant to the chancellor, said the
courts have decided Christmas trees
are not religious symbols, members
of the University community seem to
have some concerns about the
practice.
Ehringhaus said the only Univer
sity religious policy is not to violate
the First Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution.
Frederic Schroeder, dean of stu
dents, said he believed Christmas
trees are more a "statement of
goodwill" than a religious expression,
but added that the University's

ment Monday night.
Joe Robinson, UNC's recruiting
director, said Monday the defections
did not reflect poorly on the state of
the Tar Heel program.
"WeVe really reached a junction in
the road where obviously we have
some folks who have to make some
decisions about what they want to do
in life," Robinson said. "By no stretch

said. "We believe the allocation
process should be a series of smaller

OWASA executive director Eve

policy, but he said it made planning

increased emissions of chlorofluoro
carbons and carbon dioxide from
fossil fuels. The excessive carbon
dioxide creates a layer that traps the
sun's radiation and causes a world
wide warming of the earth's surface.
"If we don't do something about
the greenhouse effect, we'll be
cooked," said Carl Pope, deputy
conservation director of the Sierra
Club in San Francisco.
The administration has also
received criticism for its numerous
attempts to lease government-owned

companies for oil drilling. Bristol

sponsorship of trees through student
fees could be questioned.
"I have no doubt that someone
with a strong religious conscience
could wonder what the University is
doing here."
On Nov. 29, Sam Bagenstos, a
floor representative in Morrison
Residence Hall, contacted Cynthia
Saunders, minority executive assis
tant for the Residence Hall Associ
ation (RH A), to object to a proposed
dormitory-sponsored Christmas tree
and tree-trimming party funded by
student fees. Bagenstos asked Saun
ders to raise his objection at the RHA
Governing Board meeting on
Thursday.
Saunders said she talked to RHA
members and three Jewish people on
Wednesday. She said two of the three
Jewish people she talked to said they
didnH see the Christmas tree as a
religious symbol. They said they

success in this world. We spoke with
every one of them individually, and
weVe offered each of them all the help
we could.
"One thing that should be made
clear is this: It's not a troubling
situation."
Brian Vooletich, Dan's younger
brother, said he plans to transfer to
Michigan State, while Palmisano said
he will transfer to the University of
Central Florida, which is closer to his
home in Melbourne, Fla.
Smith, from Boardman, Ohio, is
still unsure where hell end up but
said he expects to transfer to a Mid
America Conference school, possibly
even Kent State. Renken, from
Charleston, S.C., may transfer to
Clemson if he is not accepted by the
UNC School of Business next spring.
"I just feel, at this point in time,
it's in my best interests to go ahead
and graduate," said Dan Vooletich,
who started every game at strong
safety during UNC's recently con
cluded 1-10 season. "I'm a senior, I
don't consider myself quitting. IVe
put in four years here. IVe invested
a lot of time. I don't owe anything
to anybody. I don't have to prove
difficult for municipal governments.

planning perspective, our own needs
may not fall into five-year categories,"
Billingsley said. -; - . ... . . ,

Bay, located off the coast of Alaska,

This area, which brings in $1.5
billion of oil annually, is the most
valuable fishery in North America,
Pope said. Oil drilling in this area
is risky due to extreme weather
conditions and also creates environ
mental hazards.
The president was also weak in
enforcing rules for existing off-shore
explorations, he said.
Reagan's record on toxic waste
cleanup has also been criticized.

Saunders went to the Morrison
dormitory government meeting that
day to offer a compromise to Bagen

dorm funds were to be used for a
Hanukkah bush or whatever,"
Saunders said. Bagenstos said no one
mentioned putting up a menorah.
Friday was the first day of Hanukkah.
Several Jewish students described
the "Hanukkah bush" as an inap

Lauren Stone, director of student
activities at the Hillel Foundation,
agreed. "Hanukkah has no bush in

Robinson had nothing but praise
for Vooletich, a journalism major
who was UNC's third-leading tackier
last season.
"He's done everything we've asked
him to, both athletically and academ

athletics are about. We have talked
with Dan, with his father (Milan,
defensive coordinator at Navy), with
everyone involved. We've talked
about his future, what he wants to
do down the road. These are decisions
which have to be made." .
Sledge, an economics major who
saw considerable playing time as a

leaving because of a falling out with
the coaching staff.
"I'm not leaving because of coach

Five members of People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals and
their attorney went to a UNC
animal quarantine facility in
western Orange County Friday to
investigate claims that animals
there were being mistreated,
according to PETA spokeswoman
Carol Burnett.
And members of UNC's Stu
dents for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals are . working on getting
the meetings and minutes of the
Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committee open to the public,
Christopher Smith, SETA presi
dent, said Monday.
That committee is supposed to
conduct in-house inspections of
animal laboratories and to
approve research proposals for
experiments involving animals,
Smith said.
"Our contention at SETA is that
commission last week the figure was
too small, and he said TO million
gallons a day are necessary to meet
the area's growth demands.
"Given the present projections, we
would feel comfortable with that," he-,
said. "The Cane Creek project should
last 20 to 30 years, but that's highly
dependent on growth, which
OWASA cannot control.". -..

said.
Burnett said officials of PETA,
based in Washington, D.C., were
responding Friday to an anonym
ous complaint they received from
someone concerned about the
animals treatment, especially of a
monkey caged in isolation.
PETA members will probably
contact the University to file a
formal complaint, said Valerie
Stanley, PETA's attorney.
Members observed the interior
of the facility, called the Farm, for
about five to 10 minutes Friday
afternoon before an officer from
the Orange County Sheriffs
Department asked them to leave,
Stanley said.
They left, but they were dis
