There is no evidence the University's Student Health Services
committed any illegal acts in dispensing drugs to athletes over a
one-year period ending April 1978, said a report released by
District Attorney Wade Barber.
Barber said he concluded from reports of investigations last
spring by the N.C. Drug Commission and the State Bureau of
Investigation that SHS had no intention to commit any criminal
act. The investigations were launched after it was found that 500
units of Valium, a mild tranquilizer, had been distributed by the
Sorts Medicine Department to athletes without the keeping of
proper records.
Newspapers had reported the UNC Sports Medicine
Department might have violated the law in dispensing the drug.
After SHS corrected its record-keeping procedures, the SB1
conducted a routine investigation.
The investigations arose from SHS's procedures for
dispensing drugs to football players and other athletes.
According to the N.C. Drug Commission,-an independent
physician is allowed to dispense Valium without keeping strict
records. UNC's Sports Division physician, considered an
"institutional physicianr-isTequiredTOTnaintain closer records
and was not doing so. Barber said there was "a misunderstanding
cf the regulations regarding 'institutional physician' as applying
to the sports medicine physician."
Barber concluded that "there was no criminal intent" and only
a clarification of terms was necessary. Dr. James Taylor, director
cf SHS, said he had no comment about the district attorney's
report.
SHS also changed its operating procedure for dispensing
controlled substances, including Valium and Lomotil. SHS
nurses had dispensed the drugs under standing orders. The law
requires that controlled substances be administered only upon
direct order of a physician. Barber concluded that there was no
criminal intent in the incorrect procedures. These procedures
have been changed since the initial investigation.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) Shah Mohammad Reza
Pah'avi, his power crumbling as Iranians take to the
streets by the thousands to celebrate, will leave Iran on
Tuesday for Egypt and the United States, informed
sources said Monday. Many expect his journey to end in
permanent exile.
TLz shsh's mother-in-law and three of his children
flew to ths United States on Monday aboard an Iranian
military plane, eyewitnesses at the airport reported.
Airport sources said the flight was headed for McGuire
Air Force Base in New Jersey.
Two of the shah's .children were already out of the
country. '
Political violence erupted anew as this country
awaited the uncertainties of a post-shah era. Among atv
least 18 persons reported killed in two days of bloodshed
was a former U.S. Air Force colonel,"Martin Berkowitz,
53, of San Francisco, the second American slain in 12
months of nationwide turmoil here.
The Iranian Senate hastily gave its endorsement
Monday to the new government of Prime Minister
Shahpour Bakhtiar, a prominent opposition figure, and
the lower house of Parliament was expected to vote its
approval Tuesday.
The shah is scheduled to hold a rare news conference
late Tuesday morning, apparently just before flying out
of the country.
By leaving, the shah will clear the way for Bakhtiar to
take full control of the nation. But the new prime
minister must overcome the political stigma of having,
been chosen by the shah and must deal with the powerful
Moslem religious leaders, chiefly the exiled Ayatullah
Khomaini, who want to establish an Islamic republic of
their design.
More than 100,000 jubilant Iranians converged on
"hran's main bazaar district Monday, chanting "Death
to the shah!" and "Long live Khomaini!" Government
troops, standing by and not trying to stop the
demonstration, were showered with flowers and kisses
by the demonstrators.
No major bloodshed was reported in Tehran, but
reports reaching the capital said at least 17 persons were
killed Sunday in violence in 21 towns and cities, and at
least one death was reported Monday, More than 1.500
persons are estimated to have been killed in. the year
long political upheaval. -
The newspaper Khayan said Berkowitz, identified as
head of a copper-mining firm, Parson-Jordan Co.,
apparently was stabbed Sunday night in the kitchen of
his home in the southeast city of Kerman. The paper said
his killers scrawled the words. "Go Back To Your
Country" on a wall of the house before escaping.
The U.S. Embassy confirmed Berkowitz had been
found dead but gave no details.
Anti-Americanism runs strong among the shah's
opponents because of Washington's support for the
monarch and because of what many Iranians consider
Western domination of their country.
Officials in Cairo said the shah will meet Tuesday in
the southern Egyptian ' town of Aswan with Egypt's
President Anwar Sadat. The sources here confirmed the
59-year-old monarch would travel to Aswan and then on
to the United States. But further details of his plans, such
as where the shah will go in America, were not known.
A spokesperson for Sadat said the Egyption leader
wants to thank the shah for his economic support of
Egypt in the past. The shah also was one of the few
leaders in the Mideast to back Sadat's peace initiative
with Israel.
The shah's long-expected trip abroad officially was
described as an extended vacation, but most political
observers here believe the depth of popular opposition
to the monarch will make it impossible for him to return.
He-has named a Regency Council to act for him during
his absence, but its power remains questionable.
The apparent end of the shah's 37-year reign was
engineered by a broad-based opposition movement
orthodox Moslems who contended his Westernization
of Iran eroded the country's traditional Islamic .values,
and a political opposition that demanded an end to his
autocratic power.
Khomaini, who is head of Iran's dominant Shiite
Moslem sect and resides in France, has denounced
Bakhtiar's government as illegitimate because it was
formed with the approval of the shah. .
During the Senate debate Monday, the new prime
.minister said he was in constant contact with the
religious leaders, including Khomaini.
"If he does,not have favorable views toward me, he
does not have unfavorable views, Bakhtiar said of
Khomainm leader.
The only senator to speak against Bakhtiar, Jelali
Naeini, said no government could survjve without
Khomairii's support.
"He is the authority followed by the man in the street
throughout the country," he said. The Senate, vote for
Bakhtiar was 38-2, with one abstention.
. Khomaini, exiled by the shah 15 years ago, has said
repeatedly he would return to Iran once the shah left,
and last week said he has already set up a Council of the
Islamic Revolution that would govern the country with
his guidance. ,
Some ardent nationalists among the anti-shah forces
oppose the staunchly anti-communist Bakhtiar as too
pro-Western. In an effort to appease this opposition, the
new prime minister has promised to cut off Iranian oil
Supplies to Israel and South Africa. . V

Calling for a balance between frugality
and compassion in tax relief, Gov. Jim
Hunt Monday released a state tax reform
package that would increase the personal
income tax exemption for dependents,
but also persisted in his plans for a tax
rebate if state funds hold out this year.
Hunt delivered his plans during his
annual State of the State a'ddress to a
joint session of the House and Senate.
Hunt's proposed plans for tax relief had
drawn the concern of legislators in past
months because of his anti-tax reform,
pro-rebate stance. With his compromise
measure, Hunt appeared to be trying to
appease reform-minded legislators while
still showing his support for a $10 to $25
per taxpayer rebate.
Hunt's plan for the 1979-81 biennium
would raise the personal income tax
exemption for dependents from $600 to
$1,000, but would affect only those
families with children or elderly
dependents. Students, single persons and
"married couples without children would
not benefit from the tax cut.
The governor's conditional tax rebate
would supply a minimum of $10 per
taxpayer if there is a surplus of at least
$26 million at the end of 1979. The figure -could
climb as high as $25 per taxpayer if
the state has a $65 million surplus. Only
those persons who file seperately and pay
state taxes in 1979 would be eligible for
the tax break.
The governor justified his tax plan by
repeating his claims that the state must
not cut funds to essential services. Hunt
also said the state cannot enact any
broad-based tax reform, such as a repeal
of-ths state .food tax., because of the ,
unstable predictions on the nature of the
economy. .
"Some people say the government
should spend excess money. But
government has no right to the money. It
belongs to the taxpayer," he said.
John A. Williams, Hunt's budget
adviser, said administrative costs in
identifying those receiving a rebate and
the cost of the mailing the checks would
not cut into such a small rebate.
"The rebate would be the first $10 paid
by the taxpayer," Williams said. "The
biggest cost would be postage, which
would be probably $500,000 to
$600,000," he said.
Hunt presented what he termed an
austere and progressive budget that
continued or increased funding for
several admistration-backed projects and
introduced several new programs.
Hunt lauded the state's progress in
education, and continued funding of his
primary reading program, a veterinary
school at North Carolina State
University and his proposed state science
and mathematics high school in Durham.
Although Hunt said new jobs in state
. services would be kept to a 2.3 percent

increases during the next two years, state
employees would get salary .raises and
increased benefits totaling 7 percent,
within President Carter's inflation
fighting guidelines.
Hunt continued his taxpayer advocacy
role by calling for the legislature to follow
the recommendations , of. .the Sunset
- Commission in eliminating waste in state
regulatory boards. He also pushed for a
national constitutional convention to
require a balanced federal budget. State
law already requires a balanced budget.
"We must serve notice to Congress and
the federal bureaucracy that if they don't
(balance the budget), we will require it,"
Hunt said.
Spending in Hunt's proposed budget
leaned heavily toward education. The
governor's recommendations included
expanded community schools programs
and increased substitute teacher's pay,
from $20 to $30 per day.
As expected, the governor advocated
the $93 million increase for the University
of North Carolina system largely
recommended by the UNC Board of
Governors. Hunt also outlined a program
to increase legislative grants to Tar Heel
students in private colleges across the
state. ,
The governor received his loudest
applause when he voiced support for the
beleaguered Equal Rights Amendment,
which will come before the General
Assembly again this session after a
narrow miss in 1978.

Alan Openshaw, a junior business
administration major from Havelock,
N.C, Monday became the first person to
enter the race for editor of the Daily Tar
Heel
"I feel people ought to be informed
about what's going on," Openshaw said,
"and I'm one of those people who needs
to be informed."
Openshaw criticized the paper for
being "like a comic strip covering bits and
pieces of entertainment."
Openshaw, who has no previous
journalistic experience, said he believes
the editor of the DTH should be a
coordinator. "I guess the reason anybody
docs it (run for editor) is for the power
and prestige," Openshaw said.
Openshaw said he sees no major issue .
in the campaign as yet because he does
not know what his opponents' views will
be. He did call for more features- and
national news coverage.
"We're the next generation, and when
we become at the top of our fields, we will
control the economy," Openshaw said.
"We should be informed about what's
wrong now so well know what to do
about it." '
Openshaw called for more pages in the
newspaper, saying some items are being

quality cf the story. -

can have more information," Openshaw
said. "It's been getting thinner and
thinner ever since 1 got here."
bpenshaw said lack of money is a
major problem with the newspaper. He
proposed going before the finance
committee of the CGC to obtain more
funds. The DTH currently receives a
guaranteed 16 percent of student
activities fees collected by the University.
"You have to set your grievances in
front of the committee and if you present
your case well, you'll get it (more funds),"
Openshaw said.
Concerning distribution, Openshaw
said the newspaper arrives too late in the
day and that students with 8 a.m. classes
often do not get a copy. He called for
distribution boxes in all classroom
buildings and dorms and in the Carolina
Union.

Last year, 620 students were closed out of
University housing. With 3,200 freshmen projected to
enter UNC for the 1979 fall semester and with no
dormitory cbnstruction in sight, the housing situation
looks bleak. , ,
The only solution for students closed out of
University housing is to look for an apartment, trailer
or house off campus. But such alternatives, with
waiting lists and always increasing rent, offer new
headaches of students.
"What with the present University housing lottery
system, and the housing situation in Chapel Hill being
the way it is, it all comes down to a matter of chance in
the end... The whole situation reminds me of a really
big craps game," says Betsy Bobbitt, manager of Old
Well apartments on Jones Ferry Road.
. According to Bobbitt, Old Well's waiting list was
started at the end of November, Because Old Well will
be affiliated with Carolina apartments this year, the
two complexes are combining their waiting lists and
the two already have 1 10 riames.
"It's hard to project how fast the waiting list will
move," Bobbitt says, "but if you compare the situation
to last year, we had about 100 residents move out over
the three month period of June, July and August in
Old Well and that's not bad at all."
The situation at Town House apartments on
Hillsborough Street is another example of the long
waiting lists facing many prospective apartment
dwellers.
"We started our waiting list on Jan. 2, and we
already have about 70 names," says Mary Williams,
Town House apartment manager. "It's hard to predict
how many of these people we'll be able to offer
apartments to because our openings vary from year to
year."
Williams adds, however, that Town House only had
15 vacancies last year and 30 the year before.
Construction of new apartment complexes has been
severely restricted because of limited sewer allocation.
Despite construction limitations, one new apartment
complex. The Tarheel Manor, is being constructed off
Highway 54, west of Carrboro. According to
contractor Jack McAllister, the complex, when
completed, will contain 190 two-bedroom units.
"We hope to open up the first unit (16 apartments)
on Feb. 1," McAllister says, "and then open up
succeeding units every three or four weeks after that."
McAllister says the Tarheel Manor also has a 20-30
person waiting list.

Thrifty students seeking change
find mobile homes 'suitable choice

There is one alternative to dorm life
that you may have overlooked in your
search for housing the mobile home.
The Chapel Hill Chamber of
Commerce has a list of 22 trailer courts
that are within approximately 10 nules
of the University. The list, available to
the public, includes addresses and
phone numbers of local trailer parks,
many of which rent trailers and or lots
to students. . .
Danny Burroughs, a UNC junior,
knows well the advantages of having a
home he can carry with him: "With my
trailer I can move and live at the beach
during the summer, without having to
find an apartment," says Burroughs,
who lives at the Tar Heel Trailer Court.
"Why pay more than $100 a month
rent on a room you can't own?" he asks.
"It can't give you anything in return."
Mrs. V.I. Moddy, owner of the Tar
Heel Trailer, Court on Airport Road
about two and a half miles from
campusestimated that 90 percent of the
residents in her court are UNC students
who own their own mobile homes. She
said she and her son own about a dozen,
trailers that they rent out.
Joanne 'Shytle, owner of Oak Grove
Trailer Park about seven and a half
miles from campus, said about 50
percent cf the people in her park are
UNC students, but she only accepts
graduate students or older persons who
