This is the first in a six-part examination of the
quality and variety of artistic opportunities on
campus and in the community.
By DONNA TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
Cli-3 its wcrtisa tin J?:5, its UNC iut
department has increased the number of buildings
it occupies, has added to the degree programs it
offers and has raised its enrollment significantly.
But despite these developments some art majors
claim student art is not taken seriously by the
University. .
Senior art majors Mary Traynor and Paul
Green, founders of the campus Student Art
Forum, cited a shortage of space for student shows
and an inadequate number of courses geared
toward majors as examples of the lack of concern.
"I think the rest of the campus views the art
department as a joke," Traynor said. There's no
place for students here to show their work on
campus at all and we hesitate to show our work in a
i " Ci-iaw 7 J
jf
Si f
gallery in the Union for fear of vandalization."
Green agreed that most students would like to
display their art at UNC but that they hesitate
because of work damaged in past showings.
It would be good if students could readily come
up on campus and see our art," he said. "But I sure
don't want to put up a piece and have someone
come along and damage it. It has happened
before."
The Ackland Museum-which houses ..
departmental offices, the art library, facilities for
art history and the division of slides and
photographs does show student art, but only
once a year and then the selection procedure does
not resemble that of a recognized art show,
according to Green and Traynor.
Evan Turner, director of the museum, explained
that although the Ackland shows faculty and
student work in the spring, it is not one of the
museum's major functions.
"The whole point of the Ackland is to give the
community of Chapel Hill the experience of the
arts as they would find it in a large city museum,"
Turner said. "Our responsibility is to bring the
international art experience to the life of the
community."
Turner added that although the Ackland is not
chiefly concerned with showing local or University
related art, it does try to work with the art
department to aid teachers.
"We want to help show aspects of art which
would benefit their students," he said. "But we
would also like to hear the students' ideas of things
they would like to see."
Both Traynor and Green also expressed
dissatisfaction with the number and quality of
classes offered to majors. Green suggested the
department should place more emphasis on them.
"There needs to be a more structured program in
the art department for the more serious student as
compared with the less-interested student," Green
said. "We need to have new ideas brought into the
art department in all aspects."
. "More and better teachers are needed, for one
thing," Traynor said. "Overall, there should be a
more serious attitude and a recognition that there's
an intellectual side to making art."
According to Richard Kinnaird, associate
chairman of studio art, the faculty also recognizes
the heed for emphasizing the intellectual side of
art. He said it was one of the main goals of the
studio art program.

CLEMSON, S.C. Most things
seemed to be in quite routine order here
Saturday night as the Clemson Tigers,
who just over three weeks ago lost to
Carolina by a stinging 90-68 margin,
allowed the Tar Heels into their den for a
rematch. Dudley Bradley made his
customary six steals, Al Wood hit from
here, there, and yon, the Tigers man-toman
defense had them in Tar Heel jock
straps all night, and Dean Smith and
Lenny Wirtz got along swell, just like cats
and mice get along swelL

shrug. "I dunno, but it's hard to charge
four times in one game."
O'Koren sat out for about 10 minutes
of the second half with four fouls and
then fouled out with 2:06 to Dlav. "We're

A federal three-judge panel cleared the
way Friday for the Army Corps of
Engineers to fill the controversial B.
Everett Jordan Lake. .
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals
judges upheld a I977 ruling by a North
Carolina federal judge to fill the lake.
Chapel Hill Mayor James C. Wallace,
long-time opponent of the project, said he
is not surprised by the ruling and he won't
ask Chapel Hill aldermen to appeal it.
The cities of Chapel Hill and Durham
and the Conservation Council of North
Carolina have fought to keep the lake
.: emptyT -"Sources "iddubt lhecittes"6r thy
CCNC will appeal the decision.'
The corps should start filling the
14,300-acre lake by late spring or early
summer, David Hewitt, information
officer for the corps' Wilmington
District, said Friday. The project is
expected to be complete by mid-1 982.
The project could be halted by another
hearing by the Circuit Court, a reversal of
the latest decision or a successful appeal
to the Supreme Court.
Although Congress began
appropriating money in 1967 for the $105
million project, construction of the dam
in eastern Chatham County did not begin
until after a 1974 ruling in which U.S.
District Judge Eugene Gordon ended an
injuction against construction.
The dam has been completed since
1975, but the lake has not been filled
because of court appeals.
In 1977, Gordon dismissed complaints
made by Chapel Hill,. Durham and the
CCNC. The groups then appealed to the
4th Circuit Court of Appeals in
Richmond, Va., which held a one-hour
hearing last December.

Jordan Lake should be flllsd by mld-1C32
I.. ruling Friday give Corps go-ahead
At the hearing, lawyers for the project's
opponents repeated arguments that
Gordon had not adequately considered
.expert testimony that the lake would
contain unsafe amounts of mercury and
other heavy metals, that it would have an
abundance of algae and that Durham
would have to spend $25 million over a
20-year period to clean up its sewage
plant discharge, which flows into streams
that would feed the lake.
Lawyers for the Army Corps and
localities below the dam told the panel
that the corps had considered the
evidence thoroughly and had not found
information to substantiate claims the
lake would be polluted. The corps said
mercury would not be a problem and that
the lake would be good for flood control,
recreation, water quality control and
water supply.
Wallace said his main goal was to .
preserve the wildlife habitat that would
be lost to the lake, but the corps has
already cleared more than half the 14,300
acres the lake will cover.
"Water quality will be extraordinarily
poor in most of the lake, and we'll have
many years to regret the decision,"
Wallace said. "I know who'll have the last
laugh, but that's very cold comfort."
Wallace said there is a misconception
that Chapel Hill has been fighting the
project on the grounds the city doesn't
want to clean up its sewage-plant
discharge.
Wallace said that no amount of point
source clean-up will make the lake clean.
Two-thirds of the pollutants that enter it
are non-point sources such as agricultural
and urban run-off, and the other one
third is from industrial wastes and
sewage-plant discharges in the Haw and
Cape Fear rivers, he said.
Wallace said that even if Chapel Hill
and Durham discharged pure water from
their sewage plants, the lake would still be
very polluted and that at present the state
has no plan to control non-point sources
of pollution.

Matt Judson, a junior English major
from Chapel Hill, Sunday became the
first to announce his candidacy for
Carolina Athletic Association president.
I want to expand the potential of
intramural and club sports in a financial
and participatory sense," Judson said. He
said that as only 3 percent of UNC
students participate in varsity sports,
more money should be allocated to non
varsity athletics.
Judson, currently president of the
Sports Club Council, said he sees the
position of CAA president as a means to
carry out many of the projects he already
has begun, such as improving the
financial situation of intramurals and
club sports and expanding the publicity
of these athletics.
Judson said he favors advance
distribution of student football tickets
but does not think unclaimed tickets
should be sold to the public. Instead, he
advocated holding unclaimed tickets at
the gate for students who would prefer to
claim them the day of the game. Judson
said he sees no realistic way to improve
the current basketball ticket distribution
system.
Judson said he would keep
homecoming basically the same as last
fall, adding that Dan Heneghan, current
CAA president, had expanded it greatly.
"I want to try and continue the policies
that Dan Heneghan used this year,"

Judson said.
Concerning the recent discussion of
whether students should pay for home
basketball games played in Greensboro
and Winston-Salem, Judson said he has
worked with Student Body President Jim
Phillips in talking to Athletic Director
EU1 Cobey about the situation. v
"I would strongly fight to have those
tickets free for students," Judson said.
Judson said he also would expand the .
operating hours at Woollen Gym on
weekends and at night to make the gym
more fivailable to students.
"The CAA president should be a
source of pressure on the athletic
department to make them aware that
there are . problems," Judson said. "A
psrscn has to be pretty dedicated to do
this, and I think the work I've done as
Sports Club Council president shows I
cm do it."
Judson formerly was president of Old

: TEHRAN, Iran (A P) Troops firing machine guns
and anti-government rioters armed with firebombs
turned central Tehran into a bloody, flaming battle front
Sunday in the city's worst violence in months.
At least 27 persons were reported killed and more than
300 wounded as Iran's political crisis reached a hew and
dangerous impasse.
Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini, spiritual leader of the
anti-shah movement, rejected a proposal by Iran's Prime
Minister Shahpour. Bakhtiar for a meeting at
Khomeini's exile headquarters in France.
The Moslem holy man demanded that the prime
minister resign to prove he is "on the side of the angels"
and not of the shah. -
But official French sources said Bakhtiar would travel
to Paris Monday morning anyway, which led to.
speculation that the prime minister, under increasing
pressure from Khomeini's supporters here, might be
going to Paris to resign.
A French weekly, Journal de Dimanche, reported
Sunday there may be a deal afoot for Bakhtiar to step
down and then be reappointed prime minister. This
would circumvent a key Khomeini objection to
Bakhtiar's government that it is "illegal" because it was
appointed by Shah Reza Pahlavi.
In the Tehran violence, one of the reported dead was a
soldier said to have shot himself after assassinating his
colonel. Major rioting also broke out in the northern city
of Rasht on Sunday.
The tension and violence here had been mounting for
days as the Bakhtiar government continued to block
Khomeini's plans to return to Iran and transform the
country into an Islamic republic.
Thousands of pro-Khomeini protesters flooded
Tehran streets Sunday chanting "Death to Bakhtiar"
and one large group tried to storm a police headquarters,
flinging gasoline-filled bottles against the building.
Troops rushed to the scene and opened fire with 30
caliber machine guns mounted on the backs of trucks.
Military officials later said the rioters were armed with
machine guns and grenades, but reporters who
witnessed the grisly three-hour battle said they saw none.
', Associated Press coresspondent Thomas Kent
reported from Esfand Square, site of the battle, that
screaming rioters dived for cover as bullets slammed into
walls above their heads. Some were hit by ricochets.
Ambulances raced back and forth through the area.
Snipers opened up with pistols from rooftopst Their
identities were unclear but at one point they were firing
at demonstrators.
AP correspondent Robert Reid reported seeing five
demonstrators hit by bullets in the Esfand area. Each
time one was shot, the cry of "Death to Bakhtiar" rose
from his comrades, cowering in doorways. The mood of
the demonstrators alternated between screaming
defiance and stunned silence as the carnage continued.
The official Pars news agency said 27 persons were
killed and more than 300 were wounded. Hospital
officials said about half the wounded were seriously
hurt.

Chapel Hill Alderman Bill Thorpe has
questioned the town manager's practice
of meeting privately with aldermen
before regular meetings and has
expressed concern the meetings could
violate the state open meetings law.
The aldermen will discuss L5 issue at a
work session. at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the
Municipal Building.
Thorpe became concerned when he
received a memorandum from Town
Manager Eugene Shipman, addressed to
the mayor and. board only, inviting
aldermen to meet with him at 10 a.m. on
Mondays before board meetings that
night.
The memo said several aldermen had
met with the town manager on Monday
mornings during the past year, but the
board as a whole had not been informed
of the practice. The memo issued a
standing invitation to the board to review
the agenda for the night board meeting
with Shipman.
Thorpe said he does not agree with the
policy of having private group meetings
preceding the board meeting. He added
that - if a quorum of five members
attended, the board would be violating
the state open meetings law.
North Carolina's open meetings statute
states that if a majority of a public body
such as the Board of Aldermen meets,
they must notify the media and the public
to allow them to attend.
Town Attorney Emery Denny Jr. said
he does not think a majority of aldermen
has ever met at the private sessions.
"As long as you don't have a quorum, I
see no difference between this and
members calling the manager on the
phone.
Shipman said. the Monday morning
meetings are purely informative.
"The questions that come up are just
routine matters, nothing heavy,"
Shipman said. "If the public wanted to
attend, I would not object."
Assistant Town , Manager Anthony
Hooper said, "Thorpe may have blown it
a little out of proportion. He (Shipman) is
just saying he is available at that time (10
a.m.) to answer questions.
"I've never seen more than two people
