Distribution times for
Duke tickets changed
One big game will delay getting tick
ets for another.
Ticket distribution for the UNC-Duke
men's basketball game will be held
Sunday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. instead of
from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., because the
original time conflicts with the Super
Bowl, CAA President Anthony Doll
said.
Numbers for position in line will be
given out Sunday between 6 a.m. and
10 a.m.
Also, since the Tar Heels play the
University of Virginia Saturday night,
camping out for Duke tickets will not be
allowed until after the Smith Center has
been cleared following the game.
The Duke game is not the senior
game this year thus tickets will be
available on a first-come, first-serve
basis to all students who endure the cold
weather.

Four of the University's most dedi

award given to 82 college students in
terested in pursuing careers in public

Having four finalists at one school is

the amount of garbage they produce.
thereby eliminating the need for a new
landfill.
"Our philosophy is that you really
can get down to zero garbage," Bird
said. "The ways you can do that are
through better recycling, better accessi
bility to all different types of recycling
at all times for all products and creating
legislation that would require packag

and to be recyclable."

Society to aid out-of-state students
By John Broadfoot
Suff Writer
If you are among the 1 8 percent of
UNC students who are neither Tar Heel
born nor Tar Heel bred, a new group
forming on campus should be right up
your alley.
The Society of Out-Of-State Students
is an advocacy group that will address
the problems faced by students from
outside North Carolina.
Tim Allen, SOSS chairman, said the
largest "minority" on campus had no
form of support. "There are a whole lot
of little things that out-of-state students
have to deal with."
Marty Johnson, a junior from Louis
ville, Ky., is assisting Allen in forming
the group.
We can be an organization that
people can come to and voice their
grievances," he said. "A lot of the needs
of the out-of-state students are ignored
despite the fact that we pay more tuition
than in-staters.
Allen said these problems included
canceled course registrations, living
arrangements during holidays and sum
mer storage.
Allen said his spring registration had
been canceled this year. "They sent my
The scholarship is valued at up to
$30,000 and pays for the junior's final
year of undergraduate work and three
years of graduate work.
The four University students the
only four ffom UNC to apply are
John Busby, Dave Kaplan, Jonathan
Robertson and Scott Wilkens. They were
selected from a field of more than 1 , 1 00
students from 600 schools.
Scott said students who won the
award must pursue a career in public
service. "If they receive this scholar
ship, the benefit of this scholarship has
to go back to the community."
All four UNC finalists said the schol

Bird said landfills were filling up
because many usable products, such as
appliances in need of repairs and fire
wood, were being thrown away.
"That's basically money that's being
buried," she said.
Love Your Mother gained support
by demonstrating at local environmen
tal events such as Centerfest and the
Chapel Hill Composting Fair, and by
distributing a community newsletter.
Bird said.
"Zero garbage is totally feasible,"
she said. "We want people to write their
legislators and let them know they care
about this. There are certain products
that can't be recycled right now, and
that has to be changed."
Members of Stop the Eubanks Area

Environmental Action Coalition have
contributed time and resources to Love

due. He was out of town and was not
able to pay it (before the deadline)."
University Registrar David Lanier
said students who lost their spring
classes could have done several things
to avoid registration cancellation.
"They could have paid by credit card,
although that could be a bit much for a
credit card, or in person," Lanier said.
"We try to have the due date before the
students leave for Christmas break.
"They could have paid in advance,
before the bill came out," he said.
"We've had some parents pay for the
next year in advance."
Lanier said his office would be mak
ing suggestions to the cashier's office to
insure that parents knew to pay the bill
when it arrived in the mail.
"Suggestions to the cashier's office
include marked envelopes so the parent
knows the bill needs to be paid immedi
ately, an insert to let the parents know
this bill is important and direct mailing
of a pamphlet explaining the billing
policy," Lanier said.
Another issue the group plans to ad
dress is the living arrangements for stu

holidays when residence halls are closed

arship was exciting.
John Busby, a biology-political sci

tion, Texas, said the $30,000 wasn't
everything.
"Somehow I think there is some im
portance to it beyond the money re
ward," Busby said. "The scholarship
carries with it an honor."
Busby worked as an intern at the
Institute of Environmental Studies last
summer and works as co-chairman of
Earth Education for Kids, a committee
of the Student Environmental Action
Coalition.

"We open up several rooms in Craige

Lounges once served as temporary

used in recent years, Kuncl said.
Storage space on campus during the
summer is unavailable, Kuncl said. "We
encourage students to use private stor

Johnson said the society would be
more than just a place to air such griev

different states for the vacations," he
said. "We'll set up things to do on the

Allen agreed that the group would
cover a broad range of concerns. Such
issues as not knowing anyone at the

anything to do on the long weekends

Police arrest

Woman admitted
to psychiatric unit
By Amber Nimocks
City Editor I
A woman pol ice apprehended in con
nection with a Friday bank robbery has
been admitted to the psychiatric ward of.
UNC Hospitals, according to police re-,
ports. '.
Police reported that a woman entered
the Dobbins Road branch of Central
Carolina Bank about 3:30 . .n. Friday,
and ordered two tellers to give her
money.
The suspect was described in the
reports as a white woman in her 30s. ,
Police did not disclose the amount of
money taken from the bank.
After taking the money, the woman'
fled into a wooded area behind the bank,'
Police took the woman into custody
in the parking lot behind Brendle's on
U.S. 15-501, across from the bank.
Apparently the woman was unarmed
when officers apprehended her. The
report does not state that a weapon was
found on the suspect. .
According to the report the woman!
was given an "evaluation" and then wa
"committed" to the south wing of UNCf
Hospitals.
A spokesman for the hospital saidf
Monday that the south wing was th

Evaluation involving criteria such asj
proximity to highways and drinking
water sources helped narrow the choicef
to four.
The other possible sites are located
adjacent to the present landfill on;
Eubanks Road, off N.C. 54 near Cane;
Creek and near Hillsborough. '
Mann said opponents of the Duke'
Forest site had enough time to organize'
and present their cases even though the'
site was added after the original 1 5 sites!
were selected. !
Bird said she disagreed that there!
would be a need for a new landfill in!

"That's sort of like asking Martin!
Luther King why we need segregation!
or asking Gorbachev what his plans are!
for the continuation of communism,'"
she said. "We don't need (landfills)!
anymore." !
Mann said a public forum scheduled!
for Feb. 26 at Orange High School in'
Hillsborough would involve the search
committee and its opponents. !
"We anticipate members from the
opposition groups to attend in great'
numbers and be very vocal," he said. !
what he stood for are obligated to
break those unjust laws," she said.
"I suggest that we fix the system
together if we can and make it our own
system instead of their system." :
Whites must take an active part in
the civil rights movement, Watson
said.
"Just because you're white does
not mean that you have to support
unjust laws in that system," she said.
"Stop getting a negative attitude when
the oppressed and their converted op
pressors try to heal themselves and the
system."
Watson said whites should not pre

"Stop teaching your children to ig?

making no comment," she said. "What
are you waiting for?"
Brian Wright, a local minister who
spoke before Watson, agreed that
whites must work hard to defeat rac
ism. "We know that there is a high
price that must be paid, not just (by)
blacks, but (by) whites ... as well."
