Tliis is ths third in a six-part examination of the quality
end variety of artistic opportunities on campus and in
the community.

Community thea$ej, instruction in the arts and exhibit
space are available to anyone who wants to pursue an'
artistic bent off campus. '
For students interested in drama, credit can be
obtained for participation in off-campus theater work.
Arthur Housman, chairman of dramatic arts, said two
courses Dramatic Arts 65 and 194 may be used for
credit, if the student's role in the production is first
approved by the instructor and Housman.
But "I have not yet had a single request for credit in an
off-campus production," Housman said.
The instructor must admit the student's
performance whether acting or technical for the sake
nf fV?l!l!ltirn In toVinivsl a roa Mnomgllii AXriwr,
scenic design, etc.), interning with an established
professional is encouraged, he said.
"Student actors should act whenever they can,"
Housman said, "but receiving academic credit for it is a
different matter." The play, as well as the director, must
be approved on professional standards before credit can
be granted.
Despite talk that students are not finding ample
opportunity for on-campus productions, Housman said
undergraduates and graduates have roughly equal
chances for roles in masters of fine arts-directed
productions, Lab Theatre and the like. "But as far as
lead roles (on campus) before a paying audience,
graduate students now stand a better chance.
"If you talk to a student who feels dispossessed, he'll
say he has to go off campus. If you talk to others...they'll
say no," he said."
The Carrboro Art School provides one of the best
opportunities for off-campus -involvement in drama
the Gallery Theatre. Mary Ruth, director of the coming
production of The Little Prince, said student response to
community theater has been good. At least 10 UNC
students were among 40 or 50 persons auditioning for
roles in the play.
Community theater has become an important outlet
for students and townspeople because on-campus
opportunities have dwindled, Ruth said. .
Jacques Menache, director of the Art School, said
most of those trying out for the Gallery Theatre's current
production of The Country Girl were UNC students.
Others involved in Gallery Theatre include Linda
Wright, assistant director of the Carolina Union,
directing The Country Girl and William Hardy,
RTVMP professor, who directed Simon Gray's
Otherwise Engaged and now has the lead in The Country
Girl
No one is paid for Gallery Theatre productions,
Menache said, but the turnout for parts, as well as for
technical crew, has been good.
Aside from theatrical productions, the Art School has
exhibit space available to anyone in the community.

WASHINGTON (AP) Vice Premier
Teng Hsiao-ping was reported Tuesday
to have .declared that China wants a
peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue,
but "cannot commit herself not to resort"
to the use of force.
The account of Teng's remarks at a
Senate luncheon came from a senator
who took notes. Another senator, Thad
Cochran, R-Miss., quoted the Chinese
leader as saying: "You can rely on our
assurance that we don't intend to use
force" and that "there has been no
discussion of boycott" against Taiwan.
The senator who made notes declined
the use of his name. His notes quoted
Tens fe$ $ayii5:... .;..'.. i;.. il
"We will permit the present system on
Taiwan and way of life to remain
unchanged. We will allow the local
government of Taiwan to maintain
people-to-people relations with other
people, like Japan and the United States.
"With this policy, we believe we can
achieve peaceful reunification. Like you,
we want to resolve the issue by peaceful
means. We Chinese have patience.
However, China cannot commit herself
not to resort to other means because if we .
did it would not be beneficial to peaceful
reunification."
Later, while confirming he was quoted
accurately, Cochran said his original
Teng quotes were "too strong" and that "I
would be more comfortable saying he
(Teng) created the impression that force
was contemplated."
After late afternoon meetings with
members of the House of
Representatives, Teng was quoted as
listing a number of ways in which he said'
Taiwan would be allowed to continue in
its current way of life following
unification with the mainland.
Several House members said Teng told
them Taiwan would be allowed to keep its
military forces, continue diplomatic
relations with other countries and retain
an amount of political and economic
.autonomy with its current leadership as
"local" leaders.
The House members said Teng refused
to rule out the possibility of using force to
reunify Taiwan with the mainland, but
expressed hope that negotiations would
accomplish the purpose.
Rep. Steven Solarz, D-N.Y., said he
does not believe Teng wants to use force
against Taiwan, but he "made it clear
China is ready to use any method that
becomes necessary."
Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C, said he
thought Teng ducked the question of
whether Peking would renounce the use
of force against Taiwan. "What he was
saying is, of course, somewhere along the
line we are going to use force," Helms
said.
During the luncheon in the cavernous,
ornately furnished Senate Caucus Room,
sponsored by . the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and attended by
nearly all 100 members of the'Senate,
Teng was quoted by another participant
as saying that Taiwan "will be returned by
peaceful means. We have patience." This
participant also declined to be identified.
Senators reported Teng made these
comments on other issues:
Like the United States, China favors
a dialogue between North and South
Korea. "Some people are worried North
Korea may launch a war. Such worries
are needless."
On whether China might intervene
militarily in Vietnam, whose forces have
invaded neighboring Cambodia, "The
consistent position of China is that we do
net approve of interference in other
countries.... To safeguard our own
security and our borders we need to act
appropriately. We cannot allow Vietnam
to run wild everywhere. In the interest of
world peace and stability and in the
interest cf our own country, we may be
forced to do what we do not like to do."

Special to the Dally Tar Heel
Greg Leighton says he has brought a new
concept to Chapel HU1 a hot dog stand.
"I have all kinds of people stop here," he says as
passersby come to his stand on the corner of
McFarling's Exxon lot on Franklin Street. "They
like the idea."
Leighton moves all over town with his "Beefys"
stand, Tegularly stopping at the Village Green,
Granville Towers, Fraternity Court . and
McFarling's Exxon.
. He must stay on private property with
permission of the owner, he explains, for his
business to remain legal.
Leighton is among the first vendors to sell in
downtown Chapel Hill since an ordinance against
street and sidewalk vending was passed in Chapel
Hill in 1975.
The vendors most threatened by the ordinance
were the "flower ladies," who sold fresh and dried
flowers on Franklin Street.
Rosa Bellstone, a flower lady for more than 40
years, recalls the turmoil behind the city ordinance
that has 'left Franklin Street relatively free from
vendors: "The street was getting too crowded.
People started bringing a few little things and
selling them on the sidewalk.
" "Gradually, more and more peddlers were
coming and sitting in the middle of their sidewalks
arid spreading out their goods," she says.
The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen voted
against a public street market but favored allowing
the flower ladies to remain.
"They were saying that we were unique to
Chapel Hill and they wanted to keep us, but the
other vendors started saying it was discrimination

Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for student
affairs, and the Department of Housing currently are
strongly considering a plan that would change
Avery, an all-male dorm, to a coed dorm next year
and an all-female dorm within two years.
The change is needed because of an increase in the
number of women who are being admitted as
freshmen each year, Boulton said. The number of
freshmen women has increased each year for the past
four years, Boulton said, and he sees no change in
this pattern for the next few years.
He said estimates are the freshman class which will
arrive this fall will be 58 percent female. If this trend
continues, the class the year after will be 60 percent
female, he said.
See HOT DOGS on page 2
The dorm population currently is 54 percent
women, said Peggy Gibbs, assistant director for
housing contracts. The freshman class which entered
this past fall was 57 percent female, she said.
Although the decision is not official, "the housing
department has asked us to do this, and we feel this is
the direction to go," Boulton said. "The problem is
how to continue to accommodate more women."
None of the current residents of the dorm will be
displaced to house the women, Gibbs said. Instead,
the housing department will not assign any freshman
men to the dorm.
Don Fox, president of the Residence Hall
Association, said roughly 150 additional spaces for
women will be needed next year. ,
The Avery House Council was informed of the
change Monday night by Steve McCormick,
residence director of Scott College. The government
of Scott College held a meeting Tuesday night and
another meeting is planned for tonight. Boulton and
James Condie, director of housing, have accepted
invitations to attend the 8 p.m. meeting in the Avery
social room.
Residents of Scott College have expressed
disappointment and anger at the decision to convert
Avery. Jimmy Hdneycutt, governor of Scott College
and a resident of Avery, said when the house council
CDMMdDini
was first informed of the possibility, it wrote a letter
to Condie and Boulton expressing the group's
feelings and explaining why the members felt the
change was a bad idea.
"We've been the largest male dorm on campus for
years," Huneycutt said. "If this happens, the general
feeling of brotherhood and fraternity will be gone."
He said the residents in all the dorms in Scott
College (Avery, Parker, Teague and Whitehead)
have made great steps toward building up the area.
"All that's going to go down the drain. It seems like
they looked at the statistics instead of the personal
aspects"
Mitch Cox, president of Avery, expressed the
reactions of Avery House Council and the residents
of Avery. "We went through, channels (referring to
the letters to Condie .and Bouitcnhe said, lie said..
"j56?ceiU of the housetMiicil opposed going coed
when the idea was first mentioned and opposition to
. going all female was unanimous. "We feel like we've
been ignored," Cox said. These guys are pissed off,
to put it bluntly."
The house council plans to suggest other solutions
rather than the conversion of Avery, Cox said, and
present these proposals to Condie and Boulton
tonight.
However, Boulton said, the housing department
had worked three to four weeks on deciding what
- change to make to alleviate the shortage of rooms for
women. "They considered every option they could,"
he said.
David Erwin, a senior accounting major who lives
on fourth-floor Avery, said he sees changing floors in"
the highrises to accommodate women as a better
solution. "I can see how they've got to do
something," Erwin said. "I wish it weren't Avery
they had to change. I didn't like the idea very much
because Avery just sort of has a tradition behind it."
Boulton said he understands the position of the
Avery residents. "I wouldn't like it either," he said.
"Any changes like this are bound to be disruptive.
Somebody has to be upset."
However, Boulton said if the trend toward more
and more women continues, the only solution is to
convert male housing to female housing.

Ricky May, a junior industrial
relations major from Ahoskie, Tuesday
announced his candidacy for Carolina
Athletic Association president.
"I see my future career in athletic
administration and this position as a
start," May said. "I am also against the
fact that Chi Psi fraternity has a
monopoly on campus-elected positions
and hope that having new blood will help
put some new life into Student
Government."
May said he favors advance
distribution of football tickets be means
of a staggered system. He proposes
making tickets available the Tuesday and
Wednesday before the game to individual
students and, their dates and to small
groups. Large groups would send a
representative on Thursday to a
designated room with priority
determined by a random drawing.
"As for extra seats, say if there are
2,000 left over, I don't see any reason why
half of those tickets shouldn't be put on
sale by the athletic department on
Friday," May said. "By then, students
would havebeen well notified and would
have had plenty of time to pick up their
tickets."
Concerning basketball tickets, May,
who currently is a ticket-distribution
usher, said he has asked people for ways
to improve the system, but he can't really
see a better way.

"I'd really like to see a new auditorium
built like has been proposed on the Baity
property " May said.
May said he thought Dan Heneghan
did an excellent job in improving
homecoming and would keep it basically
the same, but he proposed moving ticket
distribution for the game to the week
before and gearing the festivities more
toward alumni.
"I would like to see the parade moved
to Saturday morning, say from 10 a.m. to
12 p.m., and have the band march right
on into Kenan at 12:30 p.m. as usual," he
said.
Concerning whether or not students;
should pay for home basketball games in
Charlotte and Greensboro, May said if
the money was needed to help the athletic
program the cost was justified. But if the
money was surplus, Maytsaid, students
should not have to pay for the tickets.
: May currently is doing research and
helping with game operations for TV
games for the Southern Conference. He is
vice president of Delta Upsilon fraternity.

A federal proposal to cut National.
Direct Student Loan money from
universities and colleges that fail to meet
standards for reducing the default rate on
the loans has gotten a cool reception from
universities in the state.
Financial aid officers at several North
Carolina universities said this week they
are opposed to Health, Education and
Welfare secretary Joseph Calif ano's
proposal to cut NDSL money.
"I am opposed to the termination of the
NDSL program because it is the program
which benefits students most and it is the
program designed to assist the students
who have the least family financial
support," said William Geer, director of
student aid at UNC.
"Every institution that I know about
feels that the NDSL program is the best
of the federal loan programs, as well as
being the oldest of them," he said.
"It would be devastating," said Charles
Carter j assistant director of financial aid
at Wake Forest University. "It would be a
definite detriment to our program if they
were reduced or cut off"
James A. . Belvin, director of
undergraduate financial aid at Duke
University, agreed with Carter. "I am
adamantly opposed to any cutting or
thoughtless restructuring of the NDSL
.program' he said. ; , " - V 'v-
, "As I understand it, it isn't that much cf
a drastic cut when they refer to the
repayment coming back in," said Carl
Eycke, director of financial aid at N.C.
State.
"The question is if repayment will be as
high as they say. Any cuts will be very
detrimental to us, We anticipate using
more of the money next year Jhan we do
this year."
ReducingNDSL funds would also hurt
students at N.C. Central University,, a
spokesperson said. "Since NDSL is one
of our more important forms of aid, it
would do quite a lot of damage," said
Golda Ellis, a university financial aid
officer.
"Probably 85 percent of our financial
aid students receive NDSL funds. The
other types of aid would not be enough
for them to attend," she said.
Sunday's announcement is the latest in
a series of actions the Carter
administration has taken to reduce or
terminate federal participation in the
NDSL program, which is funded almost
entirely by federal tax money and
administered by more than 3,000
institutions.; 1 '- .
Former students who received NDSL
money owe more than $700 million in bad
debts. Califano said the default rate in the.
program increased ; from 1 6 percent in
June 1977 to 17.7 percent in June 1978.
"The. -default rate in : the NDSL
program at UNC has always been low,
because our students have repaid their
loans with great fidelity and because the
student aid office has worked very hard to
collect the loans by notifying students in
plenty cf time for them to repay," Geer
said. '
"The borrowers from this institution
have as good a rate of repayment as any
institution in the country," he said.

William Gccr :
"We have been fairly fortunate," Eycke
said. "The default rate for our state is
fairly low. The percentage is fairly low for
those who do not pay. We are constantly
tryinj to get repayment whenever
possible," he said.
"Fortunately, Wake Forest had fewer
problems : than, the .national average,"
Carter said. "It's small compared to
institutions nationwide. Some states have
tremendous default rates. I don't know if
it's a state problem or an institutional
problem," he said.
; Califano's proposal, effective for the
1980 81 academic year, would evaluate
schools' efforts to meet federal standards
for reducing the default rate.
