A soap opera produced by and starring UNC students, "General College" will be seen on the National College Television Network (NCTV). The New York City network broadcasts to college stations across the. country, said Adam Reist, "General College" director and producer. "Now the show has the potential for over seven million viewers," Reist said. uIt will make 'General College, as well as the whole STV organiza tion, better known." STV is the second college station Committee propose academic mimior By JENNY CLONINGER Assistant University Editor The Academic Affairs Committee of Student Government has submit ted a proposal to administrators and the; Faculty Committee on Educa tional Policy requesting the establish ment of an academic minor at UNC. A minor would allow students to concentrate their studies in a specific area outside their majors, but it would have fewer requirements. The minor would appear on the student's transcript. Students at UNC who wish to concentrate their studies in more than one area must major in two areas. One major appears on the student's degree, but both appear on the transcript. Students often find double major Chancel loir vows to improve daycare services at U N ' By AMY WAJDA Staff Writer UNC will be working to improve day care for University faculty, staff and students, Chancellor Paul Har din said at Friday's Faculty Council meeting. The chancellor also discussed the National Collegiate Athletic Associ ation's Proposal 42, an amendment urao Loue, for SBP position By NANCY WYKLE Staff Writer Trey Loughran, a junior polit ical science and economics major from Charleston, S.C., has announced his candidacy for student body president. Loughran said he plans to "build new traditions" in academic excellence, cooperation and com 'munication, and the quality of student life on campus. "The student body president is the whole student body, not just one person," he said. "My goal is to represent all the students on all the issues and to be an accessible, open and visible student body president." ' ; The construction of a Student Affairs building on campus that "would house the Financial Aid Office, University Cashier's Office, ' the Department of University ' Housing and other divisions of student affairs that are currently housed in various buildings is one ''of his major concerns for the 1 following year, Loughran said. An attempt to re-convert Carr building and Steele building to residence halls will follow after oiattSoim to receive national exposure, said Isenhour. UCLA was the first college to broadcast on NCTV. "This puts us in league with them," Isenhour said. Sonya Rokes, an actress on "General College," said the national exposure will help improve the program. "Now we will not just be seen by our peers and our families," she said. "We will be representing the University." NCTV will broadcast on cable channel 11, Isenhour said. The network will reimburse STV for much of its production costs, he said. STV is also still working to get cable televison installed in residence halls so that UNC students can watch this channel, he said. requirements too difficult to complete because of major and perspective requirements, said Sandy Rierson, chairwoman of the Academic Affairs Committee. "A lot of people declare a second major and get to their senior year and find that they can't finish it," she said. "But they don't get any credit for the work they've done." The proposal, based on an October phone survey of students, suggests that students who take 12 to 18 hours within an area of study receive credit for an academic minor-Classes within the minor requirements would fulfill College of Arts and Sciences upper level perspectives. The University has had no formal minor program for many years because of its liberal arts curriculum, to Proposition 48, which concerns academic requirements for incoming college athletes. Improved day care will be part of an attempt to improve the quality of life in the University community, Hardin said. Other priorities include affordable housing and adequate transportation and parking, he said. "Our intention is to improve the to iron Trey Loughran Elections "89 offices are moved to the newly constructed Student Affairs build ing, he said.

In another attempt to increase STV's student viewership, STV and Lenoir Dining Hall have agreed to show episodes of "General College" every Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Commons area, Isenhour said. STV provided a wide screen tel evision and videotapes of "General College" for Lenoir, he said. The Marriott Corporation provided a videotape recorder, he said. "We will also send tapes to resi dence halls for students to check out and for RAs to use for their pro grams," Isenhour said. optioun said Gillian Cell, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "We've always had widespread sets of requirements," she said. "A minor would be another set of dedicated courses in one field. The philosophy here has been.for a very broad-based liberal arts education." The decision whether to have a formal minor would rest with indi vidual departments, which would outline requirements for the minor. Response towards the proposal from department chairs has been varied, Rierson said. "Some of them have real problems meeting the needs of people who are majors already," she said.

UNC will be working with Victory Village, a day care center founded by students with University support, "to relate its needs and concerns to our own," Hardin said. He did not mention any specific improvements but said the Univer sity's intentions and concerns will be visible as soon as possible. Mary Bridgers, director of Victory Village, said she was very pleased with the chancellor's statement. "It was a very positive move for Chancellor Hardin to say he's supportive of day Quality of studeimt By JAMES BURROUGHS Staff Writer The quality of student seating for basketball games in the Smith Center is very different from other major collegiate basketball arenas, but the percentage of seats allocated to students is average. The Smith Center, because it was funded entirely by private donations, gives priority seating to patrons. Most arenas at other schools were built with student or public funds. UNC students are given 1,600 lower-level seats, located mostly in the corners and behind the basket on one side, and over 5,000 seats in the upper level, mostly behind the goal and in the corner. UNC students pay for their tickets to both football and basketball games through student fees. Several other universities across the country give students the option of paying for their tickets. The University of Indiana's Assem bly Hall seats 1 7,33 1 , and of the 9,000 seats allotted for students, half of those are on the lower level, said Mike buy q prize, it's :iMMI&M9mmWW' '"'mK.. f lllllllllll vxx-Xv ;:: tt '"x'SxWw ? x:x::vx:x::-x::v::-Vx::-:-:::: i s r " ,,,y f i C 1 v -y- I V- V t pi ) Wi? .

"After 35 years of being on campus and serving the University community, we feel we should be top priority in terms of supporting day care." A new location that would serve 120 children is the top priority for improvement of Victory Village, Bridgers said. The center now serves 64 children, with 120 on a waiting list, she said. More immediately, the center needs more money for maintenance and salaries, Bridgers said. The center receives $3,600 a year from the University plus money for maintenance needs on request.

Victory Village spent $9,000 on maintenance last year, Bridgers said, but it still needs new flooring, new exterior doors and a more sophisti cated fire alarm system. Salaries and fringe benefits are 79 percent of the center's, budget, Bridgers said. The center tries to offer health insurance for employees, Bridgers said, but an unexpected 60 percent increase in insurance rates hit the center hard last fall. The center had a deficit of $8,000 last year that came from "trying to fund as many student families as possible over the years."

The center also engages in extensive fund raising, she said. "We really could use some ready cash right now to get out of the hole," Bridgers said.
