.meets with Cabinet
JERUSALEM (AP) President Carter's peace
mission neared an uncertain climax Sunday as Prime
Minister Menachem Begin declared grimly "we have
serious problems" and called his cabinet into a late-night
meeting to consider Egyptian treaty terms.
U.S. and Israeli officials said Carter was likely to
extend his visit to Israel by at least one day until
Tuesday,
Begin summoned his ministers for the special cabinet
meeting after a state banquet at which he told the
president: "We want a real peace treaty. It cannot last a
few months or even years."
Carter will meet with the Israeli cabinet at a second
session scheduled for this morning. Begin said Carter
would receive Israel's decisions about a treaty at that
time.
Israeli analysts interviewed by state television agreed
that Begin's somber statements seemed to be preparing
the ground for refusal of Egypt's proposals.
An Israeli source, who asked to remain anonymous,
said the sticking points were Israel's demand that Egypt
settle for limited self-rule for Palestinians to begin at an
unspecified date and Egypt's refusal to make concrete
moves toward peace, such as exchanging ambassadors,
until self-rule begins.
Even if the cabinet accepts all the suggestions put on
the table, it was understood that no final agreement
could be reached without more U .S. talks with Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat.
Should Begin and his cabinet react positively, it was
learned that U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance
would fly to Cairo on Monday to get Sadat's response.
An Israeli foreign ministry official predicted the cabinet
decisions would be positive enough to lead to a Vance
mission to Cairo to keep the talks going.
If everything went smoothly in Jerusalem and Cairo,
U .S. officials said, it was possible Carter might remain in
the Middle East for a treaty signing.
Begin's toast sounded a somber note at the end of a
long day of intense negotiations.
"We have problems. Yes, Mr. President...we will tell
our peoples the truth and therefore here and now it is my
duty to say that we have serious problems," Begin said.
Carter, too, acknowledged the difficulties. He said
any treaty should not be signed "grudgingly" but in a
spirit of mutual trust. He said Begin has the "political
skills" to do so. .
"If we can resolve the few remaining differences, and I
am still hopeful that we can, our meeting tonight will be
just a prelude for an occasion of joyous celebration, the
signing of the first treaty between Israel and an Arab
nation," he said. As he left the state dinner. Carter Was
asked by reporters how serious the differences were.
"From my point of view, they don't seem to be too
serious, but from the Israeli point of view, they are
serious," he replied. As for the outcome, the president
added, "We'll see what happens." A U.S. official said
Carter told Begin that Vance would be available to the
Israeli cabinet all night should it have questions about
Sadat's attitude toward the points in dispute.

RALEIGH For the gamblers who
felt the Tar Heels were odds-on favorites
to win the national basketball
championship, for the sentimentalists
who thought that perhaps this team
would be the one finally to win the cup for
Dean Smith, and for the Tar Heels
themselves high and flying after,
winning the ACC title the answers came
Sunday afternoon with some
embarrassment, some frustration and a
lot of hurt.
Embarrassment, perhaps, because the
Tar Heels had so casually dispatched
Maryland and so carefully deflated Duke -the
week before in the ACC Tournament,
because the Ivy League isn't supposed to
beat the ACC and because, man-for-man,
the Tar Heels have a better basketball
team than the Pennsylvania Quakers.
Frustration, obviously, from the 22
year stretch since 1957 that the Tar Heels
have been one of the nation's most
splendid basketball teams and from the
18-year span that Dean Smith has so
astutely governed the operation, none of
which, however, has shown the
ultimate No. 1 among UCLA,
Kentucky, N.C. State, Indiana, among
others.
The pain needs no explanation. Mike
O'Koren, as emotional a fellow as you'll
ever encounter, did his best Sunday
afternoon to hide it. He stood at the
podium in front of a hundred newsmen
after the game, answered questions with
patience that is so often tried to the limits
during such sessions and even laughed
when his coach interjected and said
O'Koren was hoping to get the chance to
play Duke again, an opportunity he
obviously wasn't going to get anymore.
Later, in the Tar Heel dressing room, he
hummed a few bars of "Sharing the Night
Together," and managed another smile
as well as a shrug and a sigh when asked
what he'd do with himself now that the
presence of Carolina's basketball team
was no longer needed in the NCAA
playoffs.
"I dunno," he said. "1 hope to play in
the Pan Am Games later. I guess I'll just
hang out, play some ball and go to
school."
But as the final seconds rolled off the
Reynolds' Coliseum scoreboard, as Penn
clung to its lead and as O'Koren talked
about it later, the blank, empty look on
his face told the story. "There's not much
you can say," he said. "It's disappointing
to lose, particularly fter winning the
ACC. But Penn played a good game."
There was no joy in Raleigh. The
mighty Tar Heels had bombed out.
Penn scored JZ2 points. TheTar Heels
scored 71.
And while a spirited chap dressed in a
Quaker costume complete with white
stockings, a ruffled shirt and a sticker
proclaiming "I've had my fill of Chapel
Hill" was still cavorting about the place
several moments after the game, the most
shattering quake of them all, Tony Price,
was telling about his Sunday afternoon
outing.
"I played against a lot of people today
that I've been watching on TV all season
and reading about," Penn's 6-7 senior -said.
"I just wanted to prove today that 1
could play against them."
He did just that, and none of the 12,400
fans the majority of them rooting for
Carolina will dispute the evidence.
Against Carolina's zone, Price slipped
through the seams with little trouble to
loft a jumper which more often than not
was bottoms and against UNC's man-
to-man he slipped around a variety of Tar '
Heels for various displays underneath.
Price had particularly good success after
the 14:28 mark in the second half, when
O'Koren committed his third personal
foul.
; Price, who his coach, Bob Weinhauer,
says is the East's most complete player.

Although Mix O'Koren contibuted his
layups, Dudley Bradley added his steals
and Al Wood threw in his usual perimeter
jump shots, the Tar Heels couldn't match
Penn's Quakers Sunday, as Penn
downed Carolina, 72-71. O'Koren drives
for two of his, 15 points at right while
Bradley (inset) consoles Wood during
final moments.

Hie will appeal
LJ 11 1111 JL WLllCLPiLiL

StafT Writer
Daily Tar Heel editor candidate Allen Jernigan said Sunday he
will appeal to the Student Supreme Court to overturn an
Elections Board decision which certified the results of the Feb. 2 1
runoff election in which he lost to candidate David Stacks.
The Elections Board originally had voted not to validate the
election, but it reversed its decision Feb. 28 and certified the
runoff results.
A hearing of the case has been tentatively scheduled for
Thursday or Friday, said Roy Cooper, Supreme Court Chief
Justice. Cooper said he would contact the other members of the
court today to set up a specific time for the hearing.
Jernigan said he decided to appeal to the Supreme Court
because the Elections Board admitted mismanaging the election.
"The election was not by any means an accurate reflection of the
will of the studentbody,"r he said. : r .
-" The board's decision to certify the race was not based on the
law, Jernigan said, but on misunderstandings of the law. After
initially refusing to certify the election, the board found itself in
- an uncomfortable position having to justify its decision, he said.
Jernigan said he will be represented at the court hearing by
David McKinnon, who resigned as DTH associate editor to
handle the case. Jernigan said his major difficulty in the case will
be obtaining sufficient evidence after the delay caused by spring
break.
McKinnon said he has been checking the ballots from the
runoff to make sure the count was accurate. He also said he was
studying the voter registration lists to see if there were any
irregularities.
"The basis of our case is the fact that there were one or more
irregularities in the administration of the election," McKinnon
said. "Some polls were not opened on time and at least one poll
was not opened for the five hours required by law."
Stacks said he had not seen Jernigan's written complaint but
the burden of proof now rests on Jernigan because the Elections
Board has certified the runoff results.
"I'm sitting tight until I see what's been officially written by
Jernigan and his counsel," Stacks said.
Stacks said he would not proceed with any DTH staff
interviews or transition plans until the issue is resolved.
Although Stacks could be called as a witness at the hearing,
Jernigan's suit actually is directed at the Elections Board.
Student Attorney General Suzie Mitchell will represent the
board.
The Supreme Court has not heard a case since January 1967.
None of the present court members has ever heard a case.
The court hearing originally was scheduled for the week before
spring break but Cooper granted a delay after Mitchell asked for
more time to prepare for the case.
Duplication still problem

in Atlanta in August 1978 after 44 years in the ministry.
He has lectured and preached extensively in the United
States and several foreign countries, including Israel and
Hungary.
"I am every man's brother," King said in March 1975,
less than a year after his wife was shot to death and
almost seven years after his son was assassinated. "1 have
no hate. My head is bloody, but unbowed. I thank God
for what I have left."
UNC Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor established the
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Lecture in
September, 1977, to "commemorate the lives and work
of those who have dedicated their energies to fostering
the concepts of human rights and dignity" and "to
provide a forum for serious examination and discussion
of those concepts."

embly ' kills bill to increase: tuition,
The General Assembly last week threw out a
bill that would have hiked tuition at the 16
campuses of the University of North Carolina
by as much as $36 for in-state students and up to
$109 for out-of-state students.
University officials and students opposed the
measure voted down by the joint House-Senate
appropriations committee on education. In
state UNC-CH students would have faced the
full 10 percent increase in the fall semester. Out-cf-state
UNC-CH students had been threatened
with a 24 percent increase, but legislators had
trimmed the proposed out-of-state tuition hike
to 5 percent in the fall and 5 percent in 1980.
Legislators also nixed a plan to cut funds to
the University tuition-remission program,
which supports the recruitment of out-of-state
student athletes and graduate students.
UNC President William Friday had said
reduced funding for the tuition-remission
program would hamper research and athletics
by cutting UNCs ability to compete for the best
graduate students and athletes.
Although the current tuition bill has been
killed, Sen. Robert M. Davis of Rowan County
indicated he may try again by introducing
another bill to increase tuition to the full
appropriations committees later this year.
But UNC President William Friday said
Sunday any future bills to increase tuition
should face the same fate.
"We have a lot of friends in the legislature
who understand our position, (against tuition
increases)," Friday said. "I feel confident we
have substantial support."
KATHY CURRY
UNC President William Friday said Sunday he
disagrees with recent reports that the HEW Office of
Civil Rights is willing to defer the issue of program
duplication at black and white campuses of the UNC
system and concentrate on switching new programs
planned for white campuses to deficient black
institutions.
Friday also indicated that HEW may extend the
March 14 deadline to approve UNC's desegregation
plan. The office is under court order to OK a plan or
begin proceedings to cut off $89 million in federal
funds to the University system.
"I believe HEW's position on the duplication of
programs is still as strong as it was a year ago,"
Friday said.
Friday would not comment on a meeting held last
Thursday in Washington between Mary Berry,
assistant HEW secretary for education, and UNC
system vice presidents Raymond Dawson, Cleon
Thompson and Felix Joyner. The Raleigh News and
Observer reported H E W would present a new, three
part settlement to UNC, including provisions to
correct deficiencies H EW said it found last month
during a tour of several campuses and to move
several programs slated for white campuses to black
schools.
Friday said he was not surprised by the findings of
HEW officials on their tour of several campuses of
the University system. Berry and David Tatel,
director of Office of Civil Rights, said they found
stark differences in facilities and maintenance of
white and black schools.
"I have been told the HEW officials planned
before they arrived to visit the worst buildings and
William Friday,
UNC president
f
'-fi S-
call press conferences to get publicity," Friday said.
Friday cited a report from an architectural firm
commissioned last year by the University to examine
the conditions of buildings on each of the 16
campuses which detailed building repairs and needed
changes.'
"The report shows we had long ago anticipated
these problems at the black campuses, and we have
been developing funding in the budget to correct
these deficiencies. We have had special funding for
black schools for some time."
Friday said the University has not made any
special plea for funds to improve the conditions of
the black schools immediately despite HEW's
findings. He said funds for the deficient institutions
already are provided for in the University's proposed
budget. Friday said the UNC Board of Governors
has requested funds to continue the program for the
elimination of racial duality to initiate new programs
and to begin building renovations.
