From Staff Reports
The UNC board of trustees Friday voted to hear
arguments at its next meeting concerning a proposal that
would divert 3.5 percent of student fees from the athletic
department budget to that of the Sports Club Council.
The proposal was presented to the board by Jim
Phillips, student body president and a member of the
board. The SCC currently is operating on $7,000
appropriated by the Campus Governing Council but
Phil Dickey, SCC treasurer, says $7,000 is not adequate
to maintain current clubs or to create new ones.
The proposal, if approved, would funnel an additional
$27,000 into the SCC budget. The athletic department
currently has a budget of $700,000 from student fees.
Phillips said in His presentation that he could see only
three ways to add money to the SCC budget. He said
SCC could take a percentage of the athletic fund, take
the $25,000 of Student Stores money which currently
goes to fund athletic grants-in-aid or increase student
fees for club sports through a referendum.
But, Phillips said he opposes the third alternative
because he thinks fees are high enough already. So he
proposed the board approve one of the other two
alternatives, but he specifically proposed the diversion
of athletic department money because it is the approach
which he has studied the most.
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor spoke against the
proposal on the grounds that he did not believe the
council should be funded in such a manner. He said the
athletic department made only $7,000 profit last year
and that if the SCC needs money, it should raise it
through a referendum.
Further discussion on the issue has been delayed until
the next meeting, when the board has asked Phillips to
return with a more detailed report, outlining the three
options and the problems and solutions provided by
each. Phillips must submit this report to the chancellor's
office before the meeting so that Taylor may prepare an
opposing brief if he wishes.
Phillips said in an interview Sunday he is encouraged
with the reception the proposal got from the board, but
that he has only begun the work to sell the idea.
"I hope it will be a success eventually, but right now 1
.think it depends on the next meeting," Phillips said. "It
generally got a warm reception, the board was interested
in the problem and it's looking for some sort of solution.
"But because it was the first time they had seen some
of that information, they were not in the best position to
make a decision. They will look at all possible options,
and 1 believe if they can, they will decide to appropriate
some money to the Sports Club Council. It all depends
on the work we do in the next few months putting
together our proposals."
In other action, the board: voted in support of a
resolution commending President Jimmy Carter and
Gov. Jim Hunt for their efforts against inflation and
pledging the board's cooperation in working with UNC
to ensure that the University will comply with inflation
guidelines; voted - to purchase the house on Old
Fraternity Row beside the Porthole Restaurant; and
heard the chancellor's report on the University's
endowment resources.
The University currently is in the midst of a project
known as "The Carolina Challenge" aimed at tripling
the size of the University's endowment. The challenge
has a goal of raising $67.5 million, bringing the total
endowment level to $100 million.
"A major step toward the $67.5 million goal came in
December 1976," Taylor said, "when the magnificent
$11.5 million benefaction from the late Dr. and Mrs.
Joseph E. Pogue was announced. This gift was
immediately added to our endowment fund, bringing it
to the level of $32.5 million."
Taylor, reported that through the work of the most
recently organized . fund-raising organ for , the
endowment, the Institutional Development
Foundation, a total of $2.8 million was added to the
endowment fund in the past two calendar years. Another
$900,000, he said, is expected from the sale of lands given
to the University and from the estates bequeathed to the
University in the last two years.

.proposes diverting fees
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) Iran's military
chief ordered imperial troops back to
their barracks Sunday following days of
bloody street fighting and declared his
support for Moslem patriarch Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini. v
The 2,500-year-old Iranian monarchy
appeared to be in its final hours.
Shah-appointed Prime Minister
Shahpour Bakhtiar reportedly resigned
and the government news agency placed
the death toll in Tehran at more than 200
with scores killed in other cities. 7
Gen. Abbas Gharabaghi, chief of staff
of the armed forces, met with Khomeini's
prime minister, Med hi Bazargan, 70, and
said he would support the government set
up by 'Khomeini to establish a
"revolutionary" Islamic republic.
The withdrawal of troops appeared to
break the back of the constitutional
monarchy that depended heavily on a
loyal, united military.
Insurgents took over Tehran, looting
military posts of weapons and
ammunition, occupying government
buildings and police stations and racing
through the streets flashing V for victory
signs. They raided several prisons and
released hundreds of "political" detainees
jailed by the shah as common criminals.
Early Monday, huge explosions shook
the western side of the city near
Mehrabad International Airport. Tehran
Radio said Jay barracks, one of Iran's
largest tank garrisons, was in flames. The
radio reported heavy shooting there, in
Majlis Square and two other areas of the
capital.
A source close to Bakhtiar told The
Associated Press the prime minister
submitted his resignation in the
afternoon to Bazargan, a friend for over
30 years.
Ibrahim Yazdi, Khomeini's chief aide,
said Bakhtiar, 54, had quit. There was no
comment from Bakhtiar, and his
whereabouts were unknown. Sources
said the prime minister, appointed Jan. 4,
wrote his resignation because he could
not continue without military support.
Tehran Radio said some military
personnel were resisting Gharabaghi's
statement, but it quoted the commander
of the shah's elite Imperial Guard as
saying, "1 wish to state with much pride
that the Imperial Guard is on the side of
the nation."
In one of its first acts, the provisional
operational staff of the Islamic
Revolutionary Movement closed Iran's
borders and all airports for 24 hours
beginning Monday, Tehran Radio said.
In Washington, the Pentagon ordered
a detachment of 69 Marines sent from the
United States to Turkey in case they are
needed to help 19 Marines protect the
U.S. Embassy in Iran.

CHARLOTTE The Providence
Friars knew full well that it would take a
miracle or at least a case of Legionnaire's
disease hitting the Carolina roster for
them to win Saturday night's
intersectional clash here in Charlotte
Coliseum.
No worry, though, as miracles failed to
appear and the only disease in the arena
afflicted the Friars, who were unable to
handle UNC's pressure defenses and hot
shooting. It was an easy night of it for the
No. 6 Tar Heels as they rolled to a 89-55
victory, building 40-point leads, six times
in the second half before sending in the
reserves with about four minutes left to
play.
UNC is now 18-4. Providence dropped
to 8-14.
The Tar Heels took the lead to stay
with two minutes elapsed in the first half
when a Rich Yonakor eight-footer made
it 4-2.
In the early going, the only thing which
probably surprised any of the 11,666 in
attendence was how little this Providence
team resembled the Friars of last season,
when Carolina suffered a 61-59 loss to
them in Rhode Island.
But that was with a Friar team that
included players like Bruce Campbell,
Bill Eason and Dwight Williams a team
which finished the year 24-8.
Campbell and Eason graduated,
Williams left school following a knifing
incident, and head coach Dave Gavitt
was left with a depleted squad and a
damaged recruiting image.
Gavitt recruited another Williams
Rudy and he scored the Friars first
eight points of the game. He was the only
Providence player to score until Gary
Towle scored with 1 1:04 left in the half.
"Carolina is by far and away the finest
team that we have played this year,"
Gavitt said. "The toughest thing about
playing Carolina is coping with their
pressure defenses."
Carolina's Dean Smith, always quick
to note an effective defensive effort by the
Tar Heels, did not change his way
Saturday night. "The defense tonight led
by Bradley was super," he said. "That's
three straight games our defense has

And while the Tar Heels' pressure 1-3-1
trap defense and a hawking man-to-man
caused mayhem for the Friars on one end
of the court, the UNC offense likewise
dominated on the other end.
Carolina took advantage of its superior
height on the front line. The Tar Heels
split the seams of Providence's 2-3 and 3
2 zone defenses, passing the ball inside
then back outside where guards Dave
Colescott and Ged Doughton and
forward Al Wood had open 15-to 20-foot
h&d eight rebounds for the heels
jump shots.
"We opened it up and got the ball back
outside," Doughton said. "That was the
key."
Rich Yonakor, perfect from the field
with 3-for-3, agreed with Doughton.
"Even if they jammed up inside we could
work it back out. They weren't as tall as
we were and we took advantage of it."
The rout was solidified with 1 2 minutes
gone in the first half when Al Wood hit a

WASHINGTON (AP) Some North
Carolina officials believe that HEW
officials now have the state where they
want . it in the battle over college
desegregation.
These officials say they believe HEW
has followed a deliberate strategy of
picking off Southern states one by one,
leaving North Carolina for last. .
"We heard two months ago that they'd
isolate us, that North Carolina was the
case they'd go to the mat on," said an aide
to Gov. Jim Hunt.
Although HEW officials deny
planning it this way. they make no secret
that they prefer to deal with North
Carolina last.
"We've sawed North Carolina off
now we'll let it float out to sea with the
next hurricane," a federal official said last
week after the state of Georgia settled its
differences with H EW over desegregation
of its colleges. - '
The problem of college desegregation
in North Carolina is more difficult than
some other states because it has five well
developed . predominantly black state
universities, at least three of which offer
programs similar to those of nearby white
state universities. '
Given this situation, federal officials
say, white students will continue to attend
predominantly white schools and black
students will choose the predominantly
black institutions making it difficult to
erase racial desegregation that has
persisted despite the repeal of state
segregation laws.
HEW wants to make the
predominantly black schools sufficiently
different from white schools to attract
more white students.
Some North Carolinians are convinced
that HEW intends to do this by
administering a crippling blow to the
white schools perhaps by forcing the
closing of"a program similar to one at a -neighboring
black institution.
"They want some trophy they can hang
up," said one North Carolina official
involved in the case. "They want some
big, visible program that they can say.
'Look, we took this from a white school
and gave it to a black school.' "
The dispute dates back nine years when
the NAACP Legal Defense and
Education Fund filed a suit involving
public uhiversities in North Carolina and
five other southern states. Since then, the
case has dragged on, sometimes in the
hands of the Justice Department, the
courts and HEW's Office of Civil Rights.
Two years ago, the U.S. District Court
in Washington gave H EW the outline for
university desegregation, telling HEW to
use the outline in getting plans with North
Carolina and the other five Southern
states. '
North Carolina was the last of the
states last year to agree to a plan and even
that approval was tentative since the
UNC system and HEW agreed only on.
the outline of a plan, not on details.
Completing the details proved difficult
for Virginia, North Carolina and
Georgia. The big problem was what to do
.about black and white institutions in the
same area that offered duplicating
courses.
Virginia finally won acceptance last
month by agreeing to switch some
programs at predominantly white Old
Dominion University in Norfolk to
Norfolk State College, a black school.
Georgia won acceptance last week by
agreeing to add new courses at its three
black schools.
If the UNC system and HEW fail to
4
V
Joseph Califano
resolve their differences by mid-March,
HEW has a choice of two options. It can
begin terminating the state's federal funds
for higher education or it can refer the
case back to the Justice Department for
further court action.
Last Friday, when Califano was asked
what he would do if North Carolina fails
to come up with an acceptable plan, he
replied, "I will decide what to do at that
point in time. It is important to remember
that we are all operating under a court
order." He termed a UNC proposal
"unacceptable."

RALEIGH (AP) After rejecting the Equal Rights
Amendment for the past three sessions, North
Carolina's General Assembly may give it yet another try
this week.
Flushed with optimism over their chances just a few
days ago, ERA supporters appeared to lose strength last
week. Despite some strong-arm lobbying by Gov. Jim
Hunt, they were left with their numbers in question and
the fate of ratification hanging in the balance.
Supporters went home this weekend pondering
whether to proceed with plans for a Senate vote after a
public hearing Tuesday, to try pushing it through the
House first or to give up for now and hope their fortunes
improve later in the session.
North Carolina's decision on the controversial
amendment to the U.S. Constitution is crucial. Thirty
five states have ratified ERA since it was passed by
Congress, but three more are needed if it is to become a
part of the Constitution.
The last North Carolina vote was in 1977, when it
passed the House but failed, 26-24, in the Senate. Since
then supporters have concentrated lobbying efforts In
the Senate, but as of now. President Pro Tern Craig
Lawing, D-Mecklenburg, acknowledges he can count
only 22 "yes" votes in the 50-member chamber.
"That's all we've got and we may not get any more,",
Lawing said. "We're hot going to bring it to the floor
unless we can pass it. ,
"We don't want to bloody up anybody, because if we
make some of these young ones vote now, they might
vote no' and they'll never be able to change come next
time," he added.
Opponents counted 25 certain "no" votes, and
pressure was intense on three uncommitted senators, in
whose hands the matter may lie.
One, Sen. Joseph Thomas, D-C raven, promised a
decision Monday. Another, Sen. Walter Cockerham, R
Guilford, is waiting on the results of a poll from an
accountant he hired to tally it. And the third. Sen. Joe
Palmer, D-Transylvania, is a soft-spoken yet tough
mountain legislator who voted against it before but isn't
saying this time.
"It's been like this every year," he said. "You talk to

Construction of the controversial
University Press building moved a step
closer Thursday night when the Historic
District Commission granted University
officials a reconsideration of their request
for a Certificate of Appropriateness.
The commission unanimously
approved an amendment to its rules of
procedure which will allow it to
reconsider previously denied
applications. Commission members then
granted the reconsideration by a 7-0 vote.
Friction between the commission and
the University began last October when
the first request for the Certificate of
Appropriateness, which is necessary to
build on land within the Historic District,
was denied. Negotiations between the
two parties prevented possible court
action.
The proposed site for the Press
building is in the Battle Park
neighborhood.
