At least one type or-unofficial
Springfest T-shirt is being sold on
campus, and while selling the shirts
is not illegal, it may be a violation
of the Code of Student Conduct.
Henderson Residence College
(HRQ, which sponsors Springfest,
does not have a copyright to the name
Springfest, so it has no legal way of
stopping sales of any unofficial shirts.
But the Code of Student Conduct
makes "the unauthorized use of the
name of the University or the names
of members or organizations in the
University community" a punishable
violation.

Martin will clean out his office in
Suite C today, ending a term that
colleagues and observers called
successful and effective.
"I can't do a good job at something
I don't enjoy," Martin said. "IVe
enjoyed the last year more than IVe
enjoyed any year in my life. I wouldn't
have traded it for anything.
"I got done most of what I said
I would do a year ago."

Under the Code, making and
selling the fake shirts, which are white
with "UNC Springfest" written on
them, may be a violation.
The "UNC Springfest 9" logo is
in small maroon lettering on the
fronts of the shirts, and in maroon
and gray on the backs.
Virginia Mewborne, the under
graduate student attorney general,
said she had not heard of the shirts.
Kurt Seufert, chairman of the
' Springfest committee, said that much
of the money raised from the sale of
the T-shirts would go to cover the
costs of Springfest, but that the
committee also wants to donate

During his year in office, Martin's
accomplishments included forming
the student advisory council, setting
a new focus on academic issues,
working with foreign teaching assis

he said.
"I'm proud of a lot of accomplish
ments, but I wouldn't put any one
above the others."
Martin said he was most proud of
the strong working ties he established

homeless problem in Chapel Hill.

Assistant City Editor
The conflicting attitudes of Chapel
Hill businesses are hindering Inter
Faith Council (IFC) efforts to pro
vide adequate facilities for the area's
homeless individuals.
Peggy Pollitzer, chairwoman of the
IFC shelter program, said opposition
from businesses had-made fund
raising efforts difficult.
In the IFC's major fund-raising
campaign last year, individuals,
corporations and foundations
donated money, Pollitzer said.
"We have had wide community
participation," she said. However, she
added that the IFC had not received
all the money she felt it needed,
because it did not get as many
businesses to contribute as members
expected.
Many businesses felt since they
didn't want the shelter there, they
shouldn't contribute, she said.

UNC needs to be more financially

its reputation of academic excellence,
Chancellor Paul Hardin said
Monday.
"The state must provide much
greater differential support for its
research universities or at least free
us from inhibiting, excessive state
regulation," Hardin told the UNC
chapter of the American Association
of Professors in a statement he
described as his "vision for the future
of the University."
Hardin continued, "We must also

"All I know is hearsay I haven
actually seen the fake shirts," Seufert
said. "I find it very upsetting, but we
don't have a copyright to the Spring
fest name, so I don't see how we can
do anything about it.
"We can't make the donation if we
can't cover our own expenses, so the
makers of the fake T-shirts are
actually taking away from charities."
Springfest T-shirts have not sold
as well this year because of the
competition from the unofficial
shirts, but sales should pick up as
Springfest gets closer, Seufert said.
Student sources have said there are
other unofficial shirts being sold
coming in the future will follow that
example."
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor
and dean of student affairs, said he
agreed that as president, Martin
worked well with the administration.
"He's done a great job as student body
president. WeVe met regularly to
identify issues. He focused on what
he wanted to accomplish."

dential style as "working with people,
not against them," said he tried to

Pollitzer said the IFC contacted
businesses in person and by letter
requesting donations.
"We're disappointed they didnt
choose to contribute in a larger
fashion. They had the opportunity."
The IFC will pursue other financ
ing options such as federal and state
government money and foundation
grants, but has no plans for future
fund-raising campaigns, she said. A
figure for how much money needs to
be raised for renovations is indefinite
until contractors open bids April 18.

that will add the Community Kitchen

Mary Bridgers, director of Victory
Village and a board member, said the
presentation was the board's way to
remind the University that there were
children on campus and to make
students aware that Victory Village
was a student organization.
About 75 percent of the parents
of children enrolled in Victory Village
are students at the University,
Bridgers said.

Attracting and keeping outstand

University needs either more money
or more fiscal freedom, he said. "The

After the speech, Hardin said, "We

Bridgers said.
The Victory Village board hopes
the administration will consider
returning to its policy of paying the
center's rising maintenance costs,
which the center has paid for the last
15 years of its 36-year existence, she
said.

In response to a call for increased
faculty-student interaction outside
the classroom, Hardin again cited the
need for improved finances. The
budgetary restrictions of professors
make them want not to "break their
backs with a labor of love," he said.
"I want us to pay a lot of attention
to what we can do for ourselves.
