South Africa plans
school integration
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
The government Monday proposed a
way for segregated public schools to
become integrated private schools if
parents favor such a change.
The announcement by Education
Minister Piet Clase gave no indication
the government intends to integrate
public schools, a demand by leading
anti-apartheid groups.
Public schools, which are completely
funded by the government, have been
segregated by race for decades under
apartheid laws.
However, many private schools,
which receive some government money,
have been integrated in recent years.
Under the government plan, parents
would have to vote on whether to inte
grate the schools beginning next year.
To pass, the proposal would require 72
percent approval with at least 80 percent
of the parents voting.
If a school chose to integrate, its
government funding would be phased
down over several years from 100 per
cent to 45 percent the amount private
schools currently receive. Clase said
that parents would have to pay about
$1,000 per student per year to attend a
public school that had gone private.
Winter oil supply
predicted adequate
WASHINGTON Energy Depart
ment officials cautiously predicted
Monday that fuel oil supplies will be
adequate this winter but only it the
weather isn't severe, if refineries avoid
operating problems and if Middle East
developments don t disrupt on snip
ments further.
Several congressmen complained
that the assessment was based on rosy
assumptions" and suggested it provides
little comfort to Americans relying on
oil to heat homes and factories.
'There now is a very small margin of
safety," said Rep. Philip Sharp, D-Ind.,
and chairman of the House Energy and
Power Subcommittee. The Department
of Energy "tends to underestimate what
can go wrong," he complained.
Calvin Kent, head of the department's
Energy Information Administration,
told Sharp's subcommittee that the sup
ply of refined petroleum products
gasoline, heating oil and jet fuel will
be tight with refineries producing near
their capacities.
Hostage reported
alive but ill in Beirut
LONDON Terry Waite, the An
glican Church envoy held hostage in
Beirut for more than three years, has
been ill but is alive, released Irish hos
tage Brian Keenan said Monday.
"He was in the same apartment as I
was being held in," Keenan said in an
interview with Britain's Independent
Television News.
Waite's cousin, John Waite, said this
was the first confirmation in more than
three years that Terry was alive. "It is
wonderful news," he said.
Keenan, 39, was released last month
after four years in captivity.
He said he heard the guards calling
Waite by his first name. He said he is
sure they were talking to Waite, and not
Terry Anderson, because he heard Waite
speak and recognized his English accent.
"I know Terry Waite is alive. I know
he has been ill and the illness I do not
think is serious," Keenan said.

Monday night's student body meet
ing may have reminded former UNC
students of a similar and, as some might
say, more ominous meeting 20 years
ago in May 1970, when about 9,000
people gathered in Polk Place to protest
the disturbing national events concern
ing the Vietnam War.

president at the time, called the meeting

1,500 to discuss
By LEE WEEKS

Student leaders, administrators and
one General Assembly representative
told about 1,500 students, faculty and
administrators to take an active stand
against University budget cuts at
Monday night's student body meeting.
Speakers said the cuts could be battled
by students and their parents contacting
state legislators through telephone calls
and letters.
Voters should voice their concerns
and complaints with legislators, said
Chancellor Paul Hardin. B ut they should
be careful not to criticize legislators on
a personal level because they are not
enemies of the University, he said.
When questioned about who the
University's enemies were in the bud
get crisis, if not legislators, Hardin said,
"When I say I don't see enemies, I don't
mean all our friends are of equal effec
tiveness." N.C. General Assembly Rep. Joe
Hackney, D-Dist. 24, said other states
such as Virginia, Florida, New Jersey,
New York and California had enacted
cuts in education spending. "You need
to know that this is a national problem
and not just a North Carolina problem."

An administrative law judge ruled
Monday that the Marriott Corp. is al
lowed to install Pepsi vending machines
on campus, and that Classic Foods must
compensate Marriott and the University
for financial losses totaling $47,735. 16

Administrative Law Judge Michael
Morgan ruled that the case made by
Classic Foods, a division of the Coca
Cola Bottling Co., did not meet the
qualifications for him to issue a pre
liminary injunction prohibiting Marriott
from operating vending machines on
campus.
Chris Derby, senior director of
Carolina Dining Services, said Marriott
would begin operating the vending
machines as soon as possible. A meet

UNC administrators developed the
University's first training program de
signed to improve international teach
ing assistants' skills this summer, but
the workshop may not continue next
year because of budget cuts.
The committee that planned the In
stitute for International Teaching As
sistants program met last November to
develop the idea of a course geared
toward international TAs, said Edward
Bergman, committee chairman.
Edward Neal, a member of the pro
gram committee, said the program met
with no objection from the TAs.
The program committee asked de
partments to recommend TAs for the
program based on their scores from the
Test of English as a Foreign Language.
The committee invited the students they
felt would benefit the most to participate -in
the program, he said.
The committee invited 33 TA's to
participate, and 22 attended the program,
Neal said. However, all the students
expressed interest in the course, he said.

After the killings, thousands of UNC
students became involved in protests
and boycotts of the Vietnam War dur

The 9,000 University community
members that turned out for the meeting
culminated UNC's war protests.
Other meetings, marches and protests
followed the Polk Place meeting.

chancellor's yards and held memorial

the University of Massachusetts at
Amherst, said she had seen cutbacks in
educational funding destroy that uni
versity, and the same would happen to
UNC if voters didn't pull together and
let their voices be heard.
"Funds should be appropriated to
ward the formation of a mass mailing
and phone calling system where legis
lators will be forced to hear our voices,"
she said.
StudentBody PresidentBill Hildebolt
called for legislators to follow through
on promises to improve the state's
educational system.
"I'm tired of political lip service to
education," Hildebolt said. "Don't read
my lips, hear my words: Education is
the most important thing in any person's
life and there are no shortcuts to pro
viding it."
Hackney told students to be aware of
the different attitudes legislators and
University administrators have about
education spending.

remarks to UNC's Board of Trustees,"
Hackney said. "Get a copy of (UNC

auxiliary services to discuss the removal
of old machines and the installation of
new ones.
Monday's hearing coincided with the
expiration of a temporary restraining
order Morgan issued Aug. '30. The re
straining order, requested by Classic
Foods, prohibited Marriott from in
stalling vending machines and allowed
Classic Foods to continue providing
vending service under their contract
with the University, which expired Aug.
31.
Morgan ordered Classic Foods to
pay Marriott $46,235.16 for revenue
lost, installation costs and employees
salaries. Classic Foods also must pay
the University $ 1 ,500 for losses incurred
while the restraining order was in effect.
David Fox, attorney for Classic
Foods, argued during the hearing that
the University erred in awarding a
langu;
'Everyone said they would do it if they
could."
Although the program received
positive reviews, officials said the
institute's future would depend on
UNC's budget.
Edith Allen, program director, said,
"We hope the program will get funding."
Gillian Cell, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences, said she would work
to keep the program going despite budget
cuts. "I want it to become a permanent
part of our program," she said. "I am
committed to keeping it going."
Neal said the project might experience
difficulties securing funds next year
because the program was experimental
and only received funds for the summer
and fall sessions. This could be the first
and last time the program will occur, he
said.
Cell said the program was not limited
to international students, but open to
any student who had difficulty with
fluency and communication.
Bergman said other universities with
large graduate teaching programs had
influenced UNC's program.

Prior to the May 7 meeting, Bello
met with the UNC Student Legislature
and approved a one-day boycott of
classes after U.S. President Richard
Nixon told the public in April of the
Cambodian invasion.
After the student body meeting, fac
ulty members met and decided students
did not have to take exams because the
protests occurred so close to the end of
the semester.

vending contract to Marriott earlier this
summer. The bid Marriott submitted
did not meet the University's own bid
specifications, he said.
Those specifications include infor
mation about the service to be provided,
the general reputation and performance
capabilities of the bidder and the bidder's
demonstrated management capabilities.
Fox said that Marriott's decision to
subcontract Pepsico for the soft drink
portion of vending services obliged it to
include information about Pepsi's pro
posed service, their reputation and their
management capabilities. Lack of such
information in the bid prevented the
University from making a fair assess
ment according to the University's own
specifications, Fox said.

Allen said the TAs participated vol
untarily and received no credit hours.
'Their taking time out of their busy
schedules shows their degree of enthu
siasm and desire to be good teachers."
Allen said the participants filled out
two evaluations of the program that
showed most of the TAs felt that their
skills had improved. "Their reaction
was very positive."
Cell said the idea of developing a
program such as the Institute for Inter
national Teaching Assistants has been a
priority at the University.
She formed the Committee on
Teaching three years ago to examine
the quality of teaching in Arts and Sci
ences departments and to address some
students' complaints about difficulty
understanding international TAs. "I was
concerned that it was a problem with
us."
Although the student body com
plained about the teaching quality of
some foreign TAs, it was not a big
problem, she said.

highly emotional and personal for stu

"During that time, there were tears
and an incredible sense of campus
unity," she said. "There was no one on

by it. For the young men at that time, it
was a very serious time.
"It was emotional in a very exciting
way," she said. "How many times do

"Save UNC Day" will give students
and faculty an opportunity today to
voice concerns about University
budget cuts to state legislators and
University administrators.
"We hope to begin educating state
policy makers and the public at large
of the serious effects brought on by
the budget crisis," said Joel Sipress,
Graduate Students United co-chairman.
"Secondly, we want to communi
cate to people within the University
community the concrete actions they
can take to make sure the state gov
ernment addresses these serious situ
ations," he said
GSU organized the program, which
begins with a rally at 12:30 p.m. in
Polk Place.
"Save UNC Day" was developed
by graduate students and under
graduate student leaders because of
the budget cuts imposed on the Uni
versity. Originally, organizers planned
to stage class boycotts, but later de
cided to plan activities for students to
attend instead of boycotts.
The rally will feature addresses from
University administrators, faculty,
staff and students.
Problems arising from recent cuts
in University spending will be dis
cussed at the rally, Sipress said.
The GSU will be sponsoring a
benefit luncheon in Polk Place during
the rally for graduate students whose
jobs have suffered salary cutbacks,
Sipress said.
Ten percent of the proceeds from
the luncheon will go to benefit a GSU
emergency fund for graduate students,
and the rest of the money will cover
expenses, he said.
After the rally, GSU will hold a
forum with legislators, administrators,
faculty and students in Great Hall in
the Student Union at 2 p.m.

student affairs, said he hopes this fo
rum will answer some serious ques-

"It's worth trying to see if a forum
such as this would work, and if not,
maybe another tactic such as writing
legislators could work," Boulton said.
Bill Hildebolt, student body
president, said Monday that "Save
UNC Day" was a way for students
and legislators to offer opinions about
the financial problems facing the state
and the University.
"It is an opportunity for legislators
to express their views while increas
ing student awareness of issues con
cerning the budget crisis," he said.

Rep. Daniel Blue Jr., D-Dist. 21,
said he was interested in the concerns
of UNC students and faculty and will
be ready to inform the public of his
philosophy on education.
"I understand the concerns that
students mav have." Blue said. "You
need to relv on vour strengths, and
education should be a major strength.'
