Bush remains neutral
on gun confiscation
WASHINGTON President Bush
today declined to criticize Soviet Presi
dent Mikhail Gorbachev's order that
Lithuanians surrender arms and said
there were "certain realities" that gov
ern Moscow's control over the rebel
lious republic.
"I am convinced the answer is peace
ful discussion between the parties ... I
believe they can talk and work out these
problems," Bush said.
; -The president, at an impromptu news
conference on the South Lawn, also
prodded Congress to move more
quickly on his proposal for $800 mil
lion in aid for Panama and Nicaragua.
Bush, noting that his request ap
peared to be bogged down in the
Democratic-controlled Congress, ap
pealed to lawmakers to give him the
authority to decide how to pay for the
program if they are unable to.
He has said that he wanted the money
to come from Pentagon programs.
FDA warns against effects
of dietary supplement
WASHINGTON The government
expanded its recall of . L-tryptophan
Thursday because of fears that a some
times fatal blood disorder can be caused
even by small doses of the dietary
supplement used for insomnia, depres
sion and weight control.
"We are confronted with a major
public health problem," Health and
Human Services Secretary Louis Sulli
van warned in the announcement by the
Food and Drug Administration.
"I urge everyone to stop taking these
supplements" immediately." L-tryptophan
is an amino acid that occurs natu
rally in some foods, such as milk, beef,
turkey and beans, that are high in pro
tein. But it is also sold over the counter
as a manufactured dietary supplement.
It has been linked to a blood disorder
called eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome,
or EMS.
So far 1,41 1 cases of EMS, includ
ing 19 deaths, have been reported, the
FDA said. Cases have been reported in
every state.
The Council for Responsible Nutri
tion, which represents manufacturers
of nutritional supplements, endorsed
the FDA's action.
Its president, J.B. Cordaro, said "I
wish they'd done it a month ago."
Poland reassured borders
will remain unaffected
WASHINGTON Polish Prime
Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki, still
worried about securing a treaty to guar
antee Poland's border with a united
Germany, resumed private talks Thurs
day with President Bush.
Bush invited the Polish leader back
to the White House for an unscheduled
round of discussions after feting him
Wednesday with full military honors
and a state dinner.
" Mazowiecki used the formal occar
sion to press his insistence again on a
new treaty guaranteeing Poland's bor
der. He also urged a new political struc
ture to free Europe of military rivalry
Earlier Wednesday Bush sought to
assure Mazowiecki of U.S. support for
Poland's demand that its current west
"ern border not be breached when the
two Germanys unite.

Stedemts to vote
on referendum
for dorm cable
By SHANNON 0'GRADY
Staff Writer
A cable television referendum will
appear on the presidential runoff ballot
on March 27, allowing students to
decide whether they want to pay a
maximum $30 increase in housing fees
for the installation of audio, video and
data lines in each dormitory room and
lounge.
If the referendum passes, the hous
ing department will accept the lowest
cable bid. If the lowest bid is above the
proposed $30 fee, a new referendum
will be issued before the housing com-
mittee proceeds. The cost will be added
to student housing fees for the next 10
years. 'The cost may fluctuate below
$30 and will be adjusted accordingly,"
RHA president Gret Diffendal said.
The housing committee will decide
which channels will be available with
the cable system. Suggested channels
include ESPN, MTV and the Black
Entertainment Network.
Premium stations such as HBO,
Cinemax and Showtime will not be
included in the core channels. Students
will be able to receive premium chan
nels with an additional fee.
Diffendal said installing a cable
system on campus would provide many
other benefits. The system would set
SRC architect presents
detailed design proposal
By SUSIE KATZ
Staff Writer
Members of the Student Recrea
tion Center (SRC) planning board met
Thursday evening with Teresa Cross
land, an architect in the UNC Facili
ties Planning Office, to review and
critique the current set of blueprints
for the SRC.
Crossland presented blueprints of
the actual building, as well as pro
posed landscape designs for the sur
rounding area. She pointed out that
the blueprints, and the landscape
designs in particular, were still very
flexible at this point.
The landscape designs provided a
general idea of the layout of the area :
surrounding the SRC, but Crossland
said the landscapers would need spe
cific input from the University to make
the area functional and attractive
"Larry Trammell (head of grounds
for the University) has some very
specific ideas of what grows well on
this campus and what (the grounds
staff) can maintain," she said.
Lisa Frye, president of the Caro
lina Athletic Association (CAA),
voiced some concern about the pro
posed layout of the SRC grounds. She
said the layout did not provide for a
courtyard area as large as originally
desired. 'The original concept was to
give back as much (courtyard space)
as we could," Frye said.
Rick Satterlee, director of club
sports, was dissatisfied with the plans
as well. "It's very high-tech. It looks
like something you'd see out in front
of the IBM center, not something
you'd see in front of a gymnasium."
One feature that pleased board
members was the idea of sitting walls

Candidates agree to restrict Tuesday runoff
By STEPHEN POOLE
Stan Writer
The Elections Board decided Tues
day not to allow write-in candidates in
the March 27 runoff between Mark
Bibbs and Bill Hildebolt, said David
Smith, Elections Board chairman.
"The board will count only those
votes that are for either Mr. Bibbs or
Mr. Hildebolt," he said.
The two candidates decided last
Tuesday to petition for the exclusion of
write-in candidates.
"The code (Student Government
Code) stipulates that both candidates
have the choice to submit in writing a
letter that asks the Elections Board chair
to limit the ballot to just their names,"
Smith said. "It takes agreement from
both runoff candidates."
the groundwork for networks other than
television. Audio lines could be used
for the implementation of phone drop
add, while the data lines could allow
students access to library computer
systems.
The primary disadvantage of install
ing a cable system, according to Dif
fendal, is that students would not have
an individual choice of whether to have
cable installed in their rooms. If enough
students vote "yes," everyone will have
it, she said.
Joseph Kollar, a freshman from
Greensboro -said he would like to have
cable in his dormitory room. "I would
not mind paying the $30," he said.
David Lloyd, a freshman from Fay
etteville, agreed. "It is an entirely fea
sible plan. Most people will be willing
to pay for that luxury."
Not every student supports the pro
posal. 'To tell you the truth, I do not
watch a lot of television, and I do not
want to pay $30 ," said Jessica Deltac,
a freshman from Charlotte.
Diffendal encouraged every student
to vote. "We (RHA) have no strong
feelings one way or another. If the
residents want this (cable), we will do
everything possible to get it done. We
can only determine what they (students)
want if they vote."
surrounding the entrance to the SRC.
'This area could be more like the Pit
than what you have now, which is
more off to the side," Crossland said.
The entrance, which opens to the
second floor, would have a large
reception desk where staff members
would check student IDs to maintain
security.
To the left was planned an area
with vending machines, two rest
rooms, stairs and an elevator. The
Wellness Center would be to the right
of the desk. A weight room has been
planned for the bulk of space on the
first floor.
Stairs from the lobby are designed
to lead to a big platform on the sec
ond floor that would overlook the
lobby below. The second floor has an
area for .vending machines, rest
rooms, stairs and an elevator, identi
cal to the area on the entry level. To
; the right are planned a lounge and
offices for the director of the SRC,
the student SRC president and others
related to SRC programming. A large
aerobics area with a skylight is
planned to occupy the rest of the
space on the floor.
: Frye said she was pleased with the
discussion generated in the meeting.
"I think this is a good process where
it's still in the stages where we can
make substantial changes." Frye said
she thought the architects were doing
a great job designing the SRC to suit
students needs. "We want to en
courage students to feel they can go
through the CAA and board mem
bers to get input into the design. With
input from open sessions we did
earlier, weVe much more educated in
what the students want."
Bibbs said he and Hildebolt made
the decision to prevent further delays in
the election process.
"Bill (Hildebolt) and I both agreed
that no write-in votes should be counted
mainly because if we allowed them and
no candidates received a majority, there
would have to be another runoff ," B ibbs
said. 'This could go on indefinitely."
"The best way to avoid any other
elections is to ensure that either Bill or
I win the (March 27) election," he said.
Hildebolt said he hoped the decision
would simplify an already drawn-out
election. "We're showing our desire to
get this over with. We want to see it
ended."
Hildebolt added that his decision was
based on tradition. "Traditionally, you
don't count write-in votes in a runoff

Everette Dennis speaks in
Arkansas
By DAVE GLENN
Senior Writer
DALLAS Arkansas got off to the
kind of start Thursday night that had the
Tar Heels yelling "May-Day, May
Day" sooner than they had hoped.
And North Carolina's yelling never
stopped.
That's because the Razorbacks went
on to finish that way, too with a 96
73 victory that sent the seventh-ranked
Hogs to Saturday's NCAA Midwest
Regional final and the Tar Heels' Cin
derella boat paddling back home to
Chapel Hill.
Arkansas, the region's fourth seed,
improved its sparkling record to 29-4
and will face the winner of last night's
Texas-Xavier matchup on Saturday for
a chance to go to the Final Four. The
Tar Heels, an eighth seed, finished their
season at 21-13.
UNC head coach Dean Smith was
diplomatic in defeat. "I'm very pleased
with this year's team," he said. "We
had some tough losses, but as I've said
before, take a look at our schedule.
'They (the players) should hold their
heads high knowing they had a great
year."
But on this night before a sea of
fans in Reunion Arena that was about
80 percent red and 20 percent blue
the Razorbacks' backcourt was simply
too much for the S.S. Tar Heel to handle.
May-Day. May-Day.
That's May as in Mayberry, the
Razorbacks' point guard who happens
to be one of the top three-point shooters
in the nation. The sophomore sharp
shooter scored 19 points, dished out
seven assists, grabbed six rebounds and
notched three steals, while hitting four
of seven long-range shots from May
berry County.
And that's Day as in Todd Day, a
guard disguised as a 6-8 forward who
squelched any doubts about his bomb-
election."
Zoe Sherman, a sophomore from
Charlotte, said she thought excluding
write-in candidates was a good idea.
"It's supposed to be a runoff. It's
been long and drawn out, and
everybody's tired of it. I'll be surprised
if that many people vote."
Todd Smarrella, a sophomore from
Raleigh, also said he supported the
decision. "It makes sense. If it's nar
rowed down to two candidates then I
don't think that a write-in would chal
lenge the front runners."
Michele Joyner, a freshman from
Spring Lake, said she thought write-ins
would delay the election process.
"We've waited so long to actually have
the election."

Media criticism alerts the public to
potential problems with democratic
communication, said Everette Den
nis, director of the Gannett Center for
Media Studies at Columbia Univer
sity, during a lecture in Howell Hall
Thursday night.
Dennis, an internationally known
author, co-author and editor, spoke
as part of the annual Reed Sarratt
Distinguished Lecture Series. Sarratt
was a 1937 UNC graduate who died
in 1986 after being inducted into the
N.C. Journalism Hall of Fame, said
Richard Cole, dean of the School of
Journalism.
Dennis said the journalism school
contributed to international conver
sation. "It's one of the great journalism
schools in the world. The school
combines a rich, liberal education
with the tools necessary to enrich
understanding of communications in
society."
Dennis described the media sys
tem as based on the reality of making
profits by catering to consumers.
"We need to seek improvement
rather than celebrate the status quo.
Some people want radical reforms
and others embroider around the
edges."
The media's dependence on profit
creates a dangerous situation, he said.
"I fear that freedom of expression is
choked off by greed, and it creates an
arrogant and unresponsive press."
Dennis cited examples of outside
sources, such as foreign companies,

the second half was too much to over
come," Smith said. "When they make
their shots out there, they're awfully
hard to defend."
Nolan Richardson's Arkansas squad
offered a glimpse of things to come in
the opening minutes of play. Mayberry
knocked in a trey from the top of the
key on his first field goal attempt.
Day immediately followed suit by
burying his first two three-point at
tempts from somewhere near the Ar
kansas border. Day's second trey had
the Razorbacks off and gunning with
an 11-4 lead just 3:15 into the gamel
King Rice helped the Tar Heels
answered the early S.O.S. call by feed
ing Scott Williams for a lay up, canning
a trey of his own and taking a Pete
Chilcutt backdoor pass for an easy
deuce. Another Williams basket, off an
offensive rebound, brought UNC even
at 17.
Williams, responding from a night
marish second-round performance
against Oklahoma, led the Tar Heels in
his last game at UNC with 20 points.
Chilcutt pitched in with 1 1 points and a
game-high 1 1 rebounds. ;
The Razorbacks opened another
seven-point lead later in the half, mainly
on the strength of the inside and outside
play of Howell. Howell, who led Ar
kansas with 15 first-half points, scored
on an offensive rebound, a rare three
pointer and a variety of mid-range
jumpers to spark the Razorbacks while
Day and Mayberry rode the bench with
three fouls apiece.
Howell's 15-footer gave Arkansas a
37-30 lead with two minutes remaining
in the half. But two free throws each by
UNC's George Lynch and Williams'
the latter with five seconds remaining
brought the Tar Heels to within 37
