Gen. Yuri Radionov, deputy inspector
for the Russian Armed Forces, praised
American hospitality and openness during
a visit to the UNC campus Friday as part of
a U.S. tour to learn more about die Ameri

Speaking through an interpreter,
Radionov opened the question-and-answer
session by expressing his pleasure at being
in the United States for the first time.
“Americans are friendly. They are open
minded,” he said. “They smile more.”
Radionov’s wife, Nina, said she had a
similar impression.
“(Tm) thankful for being here and I like
American openness and the smiling faces, ”
she said. “I want American and Russian
people to be friends and come to each other

Can Student Government
Harness Record Turnout?
BYPHUONGLY
STAFF WRITER
Student government leaders are hoping
that bigger will mean better.
About 400 students have signed up for
participation in this year’s student govern
ment. That's almost triple the number that
usually sign up.
Student Body President Jim Copland
said the large staff could make student
government more effective.
“It gives us a diversity of perspectives, ”
Copland said. “It gives us a lot of energy
and potential. We can do more than has
ever been done before.”
His administration actively recruited
students by staffing tables during orienta
tion sessions and sending out forms in The
Daily Tar Heel, the first time student gov

Fox could not be reached at his office
Sunday.
After Holeman, the victim and primary
witness for Fox’s case did not attend the
hearing, Judge Patricia Love dismissed the
case for lack of probable cause and threw
out the charges against Herring.
Herring’s attorney, Joe Buckner, said
local police officers had been unable to
locate Holeman.
“Since Mr. Holeman was not to be
found, (the state) did not present any evi

Armed Forces, discussed similarities be

“American people and Russian people

Nina Radionov said she had been com
fortable during her visit.
“We’ve stayed in American homes, and
the people are so like Russians that some
times I forget that I am supposed to be
speaking English,” Nina Radionov said.
Gen. Radionov offered his support for
further cooperation between the two former
Cold War foes, including a “cultural ex
change" to “let people make new friends,”
as well as a “scientific exchange.”
Later questions focused on the former
Soviet Union’s military forces.
When asked whether the task of divid
ing the military forces of the Soviet Union
among the new republics had been com

government’s ability to make a difference.
Many students see student government
as “self-serving” people launching “power
plays," she said.
“I think what’s so exciting is that the
more people become involved, the greater
the chance of countering those negative
stereotypes,” Toll said.
Many people who originally signed up
might not join the government staff be
cause of other time commitments, student
administrators said. Still, government lead
ers think that with active recruitment, the
number of people who participate this year
will be greater than the 10 to 40 students
who usually get involved.
Although this year’s budget is lower
than the previous year’s, Toll said she
didn’t think lack of money would hinder
mobilization of the big staff.

“All the military school students (be

The University has been recruiting mi

Depleted Stock Delays
ONE Card Service
BY JAMES LEWIS
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
If you were thinking about losing your
UNC ONE Card, it would be wise to hold
off until late September.
The UNC ONE Card Office ran out of
card stock Wednesday morning, said
Wallace Walker, UNC ONE Card office
manager. The office has issued about 550
temporary cards so far, Walker said.
“It’s the ID card minus the photo and
the label,” he said. “Fortunately, the fresh
men ha ve been taken care of and those who
have been affected primarily live off-cam
pus and don't usually have meal plans.”
Walker said the shortage occurred be
cause of anew program to provide faculty
and staff with the cards for checking out
books from the University’s libraries.
“The situation is one that developed
back in late April when the office mounted
the first effort to issue cards to the faculty
and the staff,” he said.
In the new program, graduate students
were reclassified as students and were is
sued cards from the student card stock,
which caused the shortage, he said.
“We had to issue a much largernumber
of cards to graduate students than we ever
anticipated,” he said. “This simply ate into

Holeman’s trial is set for Sept. 30.
Buckner said that, given Holeman ’ s prior
criminal record and his failure to appear in
court, he did not consider Holeman a cred

“Mr. Holeman’s credibility certainly
comes into question. He has been charged
with several crimes.”
“In fact, I believe he is a liar and a thief,”
Buckner said.
Buckner said if the case did go to the
grand jury he and his client would cooper

that,” he said.
