Residents of Granville North played Eskimo Wednesday afternoon, but the igloo won't stand for long as
warm weather and rain are on the way.

In the less academically minded
student, snow elicits a variety of physical
and emotional responses.
Some Mangum Dorm residents
reacted by streaking through downtown
Chapel Hill wearing only tennis shoes
and ski masks.
At Hinton James and Granville East,
students built an igloo, large enough to
crawl into. On benches all around
campus, snowmen and voluptuous
snowwomen occupied seats.
Meanwhile, the academically minded
slipped through the 10 inches of snow to
attend classes. Although the University
was officially open, low student and
instructor turnout for classes allowed
little work to continue.
The schools of journalism, pharmacy,
business, political science and romance
languages had no more than 50 percent of
their instructors show up for class,
according to department spokesmen. The
School of Journalism and the School of
Business had the lowest instructor
turnout with five of 19 and 20 of 60
instructors showing up for class,
respectively.
As if fighting the elements to get to
class only to discover your professor is
home in bed is not enough, hungry
students hoping to get a hot meal at
Chase Cafeteria had to go elsewhere.
Cafeteria manager Clarence Gilmore
said several frozen pipes burst and
flooded the lower floors. The cafeteria
should reopen by Wednesday, he said. '
The Pine Room continued to operate
on schedule.
For the dedicated students who tried to
go to class, delayed or inoperative bus
routes presented yet another obstacle.
Routes opened up as roads cleared. By 4
p.m. buses were operating on all but the K.
route.
Chapel Hill was not alone in the cold.
Snow paralyzed the entire state and much
of the East Coast. Heaviest hit in the state
was the Boone area with 17 inches of
snow. Eight inches fell on Asheville,
Winston-Salem and Greensboro. As a
result, students w ho went out of town for
the weekend got an extra day of rest.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol
said Monday all major roads into Chapel
Hill were clear, but recommended using
snow tires and chains on secondary roads
that remained hazardous.
Road conditions in Chapel Hill caused
few accidents. Chapel Hill police said.
Only one minor accident was reported.
The storm slowed air traffic too. At
Raleigh-Durham Airport normal air
traffic did not begin until 11:30 a.m.
Monday.
Telephone and power lines were not
harmed by the snow, partly because the
wind kept the snow from building up on
the wires, said Duke Power District
Engineer Benny . McPeak. Three minor
power outages in the Northwood, Cedar
Hill and Brookwood areas were reported.
Southern Bell District Manager Mike
Carson said phone service was
uninterrupted during the storm although
an unusually heavy volume of calls
caused delays and difficulty in
completing calls.
The weather service predicts rising
temperatures in the upper 40s to middle
50s today and rain Wednesday.
Parking panel hears report
on MLanning lot construction
By LAURA ALEXANDER
SUff Writer
Plans to overcome the loss of campus parking
spaces due to construction scheduled for next fall
were evaluated Friday at a meeting of the Traffic and
Parking Advisory Committee.
The committee heard reports on the status of
parking lot construction on Manning Drive and
Mason Farm Road and the Health Affairs Parking
Deck, all of which are to replace spaces that will be
lost to the new library and Carolina Union addition.
The plans for the Manning Drive lot have been
sent to Raleigh for review, said Gordon Rutherford.
UNC planning director.
"We've been assured they will return it to us as
soon as possible," Rutherford said. "We hope to take
bids for it in March and start parking cars there in
August."
Construction on the lot has been delayed by
inclement weather, as has the construction on Mason
Farm Road.
"We've got a good contractor." Rutherford said.
"The contractor is at least on schedule and he claims
to be ahead of schedule. The projected date of
completion was estimated by December of this year,
but he may be through by November."
The approximately 550 persons parking in the
Manning lot will park and ride buses to campus or
North Carolina Memorial Hospital. The cost of a
parking sticker for the lot probably will be reduced to
coincide with the cost of a bus pass. Ordinarily,
persons who park in the park-ride lots pay a parking
fee and a bus-pass fee.
But the committee cannot determine actual costs
until the town set fall bus-pass rates. John Temple,
UNC vice chancellor for business and finance, said
he expects to have the rate information within the
next two weeks.
The town probably will extend bus routes that now
serve the hospital to serve the Manning Drive lot
also, Rutherford said. Although no plans are
complete, he said he hopes the buses will stop at the
lot at 5-to 10-minute intervals from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30
p.m. five days per week.

Tuvim endorses Jernigan
'DTHP hopefuls ready for runoff
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) China's
attack on Vietnam was reported stopped
about six miles inside the border
Monday, and Western intelligence
sources said some Chinese units may be
pulling back.
Unconfirmed reports from Moscow
said all Soviet military leaves had been
canceled and troops put on alert. The
Soviets warned China on Sunday to pull
out of Vietnam immediately.
Vietnam said it inflicted heavy
casualties on the Chinese, killing 3,500
troops and destroying more than 100
tanks since the invasion started Saturday.
The Voice of Vietnam, monitored in
Bangkok, said the Vietnamese killed
1,000 Chinese troops and destroyed 30
tanks in the rugged mountain province of
Hoang Lien Son and reported similar
figures in Cao Bang province.
In Long Son province, Vietnam
chimed 600 Chinese killed and 20 tanks
destroyed and said the strategic
"Friendship Gate" border area was
littered with some 60 destroyed Chinese
tanks. Fighting was reported in other
northern provinces as well. The reports
could not be independently verified.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Bangkok
said the Chinese advanced no more than
six miles into Vietnam.
Peking has said the attack was in
retaliation for "armed incursions" by
Vietnam over the past year.
A quick strike followed by withdrawal
would be similar to China's 1962 action in
northeast India, when China invaded to
make its point in a border dispute, then
pulled back.
The official Chinese news agency
Hsinhua has carried little about the
invasion and no detailed reports of the
fighting. Japanese news reports from
Peking said China banned all
demonstrations concerning the war.
Bangkok sources discounted reports of
continued Chinese air strikes deep into
Vietnam. Thai intelligence said the only
Chinese planes still involved were spotter
planes directing Chinese artillery fire.
A dispute between China and Vietnam
has simmered since the communists took
over Vietnam in 1975. It has increased,
over the past year with China accusing
Vietnam of mistreating ethnic Chinese,
and with Vietnam's backing of the
overthrow of the China-backed
Cambodian government of Pol Pot.
U.N. Security Council consultations
on the situation were by telephone
Monday because of a winter snowstorm
that swept New York overnight.
A U.N. spokesman said Kuwait
Ambassador Abdalla Bishara, the
Security Council chairman for February,
was consulting particularly with non
aligned nations.
Sunday, Moscow warned China to
withdraw its troops, "before it is too late"
and said it would honor a peace and
friendship treaty signed last November
with Vietnam.
Moscow indicated it would not send
troops, however, saying: "The heroic
Vietnamese people.. .are capable of
standing up for themselves this time
again."
The report of Soviet military leaves
being canceled was from Victor Louis of
the London Evening News, a Soviet
citizen with good official contacts.
The United States said Sunday it
disapproved of the invasion and asked
the Soviets to use restraint.

"Clowning is a serious business. It's not
just Bozo," David Carlyon told a small
audience recently in Playmakers Theatre.
He should know. The 29-year-old is a
professional clown with Ringling
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
But that's not all. He's also a California
attorney and a former military
policeman.
"1 hadn't always been a circus fan," the
lanky, brown-haired Carlyon confessed.
"I'd just been thinking about it for 10 or
12 years and decided to give it a try."
Giving it a try, for Carlyon, meant
applying to the highly selective Ringling
Brothers Clown College in Venice, Fla.,
where only 25 of the 3,000 applicants
were accepted to the two-month training
program.
Carlyon's chance of acceptance seemed
slim, especially since he wasn't available
for the college's auditions; he was in the
midst of taking the California bar exams.
"To be good you've got to be
dedicated," is his motto, and it must have
paid off on both accounts. In the space of
one week Carlyon found out he'd been
accepted to clown college and had passed
the California bar. But he hasn't had the
chance to practice law.
Besides the usual high jinks and gag
routines. Clown College taught Barlyon
how to emphasize the clown's most
important asset his face.
"Every day (at Clown College) you put
on your face," he explained as he selected
stage makeup from a gray lunchbox and
demonstrated for the audience.
Black, red and white are his primary
face colors, but his style of application
varies. "Most clowns experiment with
their faces, depending on their
character," he said while applying red
makeup around his cheeks.
Zachary, Carlyon's clown name, is a
responsive, foolish clown, and a favorite,
with children, "My comedy is so goofy,
kids feel superior to me," he said.
At the greatest show on earth"
Zachary is one of 30 show clowns. A
typical circus year includes visiting 73
cities, and giving 1,000 performances for
7 million persons, the clown said.
But he takes the large crowds and
rigorous performance schedule in stride:
It's all a learning experience for him, he
said.
"A common fault of a new clown is
trying to do too much. You're trying to be
funny all the time and you don't need to
be," he said.
"Besides, personally I go more for
smiles than laughs."

...anything for a smile

With the snow on the ground likely to
keep many voters away from the polls in
Wednesday's runoff election, the two
candidates for Daily Tar Heel editor are
stepping up their efforts to get students
out to vote.
"The key will be who gets the vote out."
said DTH candidate Allen Jernigan. "A
lot of people's cars are stuck in the snow
but we've got some ideas how to get them
out to vote.
"We're going door-to-door
everywhere. We're trying to meet as many
people as possible."
DTH candidate David Stacks said his
campaign staff is also gearing up for a
last-day campaign blitz.
"We're kicking out the jams." Stacks
said. "We want to let everybody know
that we're still here. Our dorm
coordinators are out in full force now.
"We knew we weren't strong enough to
pull it out in the first election but we think
we are now. Everything looks good."
Both candidates also said this
morning's endorsement by former
candidate Reid Tuvim could be
important in Wednesday's voting. Tuvim
endorsed Jernigan in a letter to the DTH
editor.
"Our platforms are very similar."
Jernigan said. "1 think Tuvim endorsed
me because he felt the ideals he worked
for will be best expressed in my
administration.
"Tuvim's key campaign workers will be
helping us go door-to-door. They'll go
places where they were strong and pick up
places where we weren't."
Stacks said he hopes that Tuvim's
endorsement will hurt Jernigan's
campaign more than it will help.
"Tuvim's endorsement was the
ultimate paradox of the campaign."
Stacks said. "All through the elections he
and Jernigan were at each other's throats
at the candidate forums.
"I think people will realize that the two
candidates couldn't stand each other and
now all of a sudden one of them is
endorsing the other, there's something
going on here that we don't know about.
"We were getting signals from Tuvim's
campaign staff that we would get his
endorsement. A lot of our people arc
really steamed about it. It was a great
surprise. I'm not real sure what it will
mean."
Stacks said the people who voted for
him in the first election will have to turn
out again to give him the edge in the
' runoff.
"It will be a close vote." Stacks said. "I
know that the people who voted for me in
the first election have faith in my ability
to be editor. But whether or not we get
them out to vote again Wednesday is
another question. We have to pull it all
together."
Raising student fees draws
tangled reaction from voters
By THOMAS JESSIMAN
Staff Writer
Undergraduate students agree they do
not want to pay higher fees, according to
results of the advisory referendums
included in balloting Feb. 14.
Despite reluctance to pay more fees
themselves, a majority of voters
supported a fee increase for graduate
students and incoming freshman.
More than 90 percent of the student
body voted against increasing student
health fees by $25 per semester.
More than 75 percent of the voters
opposed a $3.50 per semester increase in
Union fees.
But in close voting, almost 52 percent
of the voters supported a $5 orientation
fee for incoming freshmen. Almost 55
percent supported a $2 increase per
semester in graduate student activity fees.
The referendums do not mean any
immediate change in University policy,
but the results can be used by Student
Government in the future to back
proposals.
