treaty
JERUSALEM (AP) President
Carter extended his peace gamble by one
day Monday amid increasing signs that
he will return home without a peace
treaty between Egypt and Israel.
En route home today. Carter will stop
at the Cairo airport to talk with Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat about the
negotiations in Israel.
"We can't close the door on a
breakthrough, but as of now we have not
achieved what we set out to do," an
American official said.
U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus R.
Vance, w ho originally planned to remain
in the M iddle East to continue mediating,
was preparing to .fly home with Carter
instead, officials said.
The White House made no effort to
claim success for Carter's six-day mission
to Egypt and Israel. White House press
secretary Jody Powell said the decision to
end the talks here was mutual. He said he
did not know where the peace process
would go next.
It was understood the Israelis flatly
turned down several suggestions to
resolve the major three issues remaining:
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, oil in the
Sinai and exchange of ambassadors.
AT one point, American officials said
they were out of suggestions and asked
the Israelis whether they had any. The
answer was no, and the two sides agreed
there was nothing more to discuss.
Carter informed Sadat of the stopover
in a telephone call Monday, a Sadat
spokesman said. The American president
also had a long telephone conversation
with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem
Begin.
Vance met with Begin and Israeli
cabinet officials in a last-minute
mediation effort while Carter awaited
word at the King David Hotel
"We made great progress in solving the
outstanding issues," Begin said
afterward. But he said problems
remained "which will be negotiated
continuously until we find a solution for
them."
Vance reported on the session to
Carter, and then attended an evening
meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister
Moshe Dayan.
A joint U.S.-Israel statement was
expected before Carter's departure.
The president spent the evening
viewing the Dead Sea Scrolls. Begin will
meet Carter for breakfast, and the
president will leave Israel at noon
Tuesday, 5 a.m. EST. He had planned to
leave Monday.
Earlier, in a speech to the Israeli
parliament, the Knesset; Carter said "we
still fall short" of a treaty.
The major obstacle involved self-rule
for Palestinians in the West Bank and
Gaza, officials said. A compromise calls
for moving more quickly on creating
Palestinian autonomy in the Gaza Strip
than on the occupied West Bank. But
officials said the compromise contained
no timetable for autonomy, a concession
to Israel.
The other unsettled issues concerned
when ambassadors should be exchanged;
plans for Egypt to sell oil from Sinai
oilwells to Israel, and whether diplomatic
ties should hinge on the speed with which
self-rule for Palestinians is implemented.
Begin told the Knesset a compromise
was reached on another point: whether
the treaty would take precedence over
Egypt's defense pacts with other Arab
states. He gave no details.
Sadat prayed at a small mosque near
the pyramids Monday while awaiting the
outcome of the Israeli negotiations.
I n his Knesset speech. Carter saidi "We
have not yet fully met our challenge.
He said the people of Egypt and Israel
were ready for peace but, "The leaders
have not yet proven that we are also ready
for peace, enough to take a chance. We
must persevere." .

Chances look dim for student hopes of
an extended drop period as the Faculty
Council prepares for its final vote on the
issue Friday.
Harvey Lehman, member of the
Faculty Council's Educational Policy
Committee, and supporter of the drop
period extension, said he thinks the
council will follow EPC's
recommendation to leave the drop period
at four weeks instead of extending it to
six.
"If the committee is representative of
the council, the council will follow the
committee's recommendation," he said.
"The case was discussed well in
committee, the report is well balanced,
and I do not feel any points relevant to the
issue were left out. Therefore, I feel the
council will go along with the
recommendation."
EPC Jan 29, voted 5-4 against
extending the drop period.
The EPC report to the Faculty Council
recommending that the length of the drop
period remain four weeks includes a
strong minority opinion in favor of the
drop-period extension.
The report, written by Mark
Applebaum, EPC secretary, said the
majority and minority agree that the"
primary issue is whether it is necessary for
a student to receive a major graded
assignment prior to the last day for
dropping a course.
The majority of the committee said
they did not feel the anticipated grade in a
course should be of primary
consideration. The report said the
primary consideration should be the
academic value per se of a course and an
assessment of that value can be made in
the first four weeks on the bases of syllabi,
lectures and reading lists.
The majority opinion cited the negative
aspects of disruption and increased
financial costs. The report said the
negative aspects outweighed any
potential benefit.
The minority opinion said students
should have at least one grade on a
substantial unit of each course before the
end of the drop period. It cited an EPC
survey of 500 faculty members of which
46 percent said four weeks is insufficient
time to provide substantial graded
material as evidence that the four-week
drop period is too short.
The report's concluding statement said
although a four-week drop period is
somewhat arbitrary, there is no evidence
to suggest the educational needs of
students would be better served by
lengthening the period.
Lehman suggested Student
Government prepare a presentation for
the Faculty Council meeting to be held at
3 p.m. Friday in Hamilton 100.
'I think Student Government
presented its case very well and has been
very effective in persuading some
members of this committee," he said.
"One year ago this committee rejected the .
proposal unanimously. This year the
presentation was effective enough to
result in a 5-4 split. Two committee
members changed their vote from last
year. Although the result has not
changed, I think the students have been
tremendously effective in presenting their
views."
In other business, EPC discussed
placing students in voting or non-voting
positions on the EPC. The committee
tabled discussion until its April 2
meeting.
EPC also discussed changing
preregistration procedures so students
could sign up for a maximum of five
courses. Some committee members said
they felt over-registration by students
intending to take only five courses caused
many students to be unnecessarily closed
out of certain courses. Pruett asked
Applebaum to study this "shopping and
dropping" and report to the committee at
its next meeting.
Aldermen look mt bus fare;
increase seems inevitable
By PAM KELLEY
Staff Writer
The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen will consider
two separate recommendations tonight one from
the town's Transportation Board and one from the
town staff both of which call for higher bus-fare
prices.
The town staffs recommendation for bus-pass
rates calls for higher prices than the Transportation
Board's, but both are proposing a regular bus-fare
hike from 25 cents to 30 cents. If either plan is
approved, the new bus prices would become effective
July 1. Fares have been 25 cents since 1974.
In the meeting tonight, the board also will consider
a zoning-ordinance change which would require a
special-use permit for auditoriums and coliseums.
The Transportation Board is recommending
yearly bus-pass prices be raised from $40 to $48.
Nine-month passes would be sold for $40, six-month
passes for $30 and three-month passes for $23. A 40-
ride ticket would cost $9.50.
UNC sells bus passes to students at a $4 discount,
so the bus-pass hike would mean the price of a
student nine-month academic year pass would be
raised from $32 to $36.
Under the town staffs plan, a yearly pass would be
$54, a nine-month pass $50, a six-month pass $40.50
and a three-month pass $23.50. Like the
Transportation Board, the staff is recommending a
40-rtde ticket be raised to $9.50.
If the staffs plan is approved, with the $4 discount
a student academic-year bus pass would cost $46.
"The price increase may deter some students from
buying passes, but we must maximize our operating
revenue," Chapel Hill Transportation Director
William Godding said Sunday.
Terry Lathrqpe, Transportation Board chairman,
said the board feels the staffs fare prices are set too
high. "We had understood that the University was
going to increase parking-permit prices, and it didn't.
If we raise our prices too much, we'll be in direct
competition with the University, and that's not what
we want," he said.
In the zoning-ordfnance change matter, if the
aldermen vote to approve the change, UNC would
have to be granted a special-use .permit before it
could build a proposed $21 million athletic complex
on the Baity property south of Hinton James
Dormitory.
After months of delays, the board voted last fall to
rezone the Baity property from residential to
University use. The proposed zoning-ordinance
change would put restrictions on what the University
could do without the town's consent, since UNC
would have to follow guidelines set by the special-use
permit.

With Springfest only six weeks away, Student
Government is still looking for two more bands
to play with Jimmy Buffett in the Kenan
Stadium extravaganza April 21, President-elect
J.B. Kelly said Monday.
Promoter Wilson Howard contacted Firefall
to fill one of the slots but the Top 40 band won't
come because of a commitment to play in
Chicago.
Jay Turvo, Springfest committee
chairperson, said Howard also has contacted
"PFlMi
ffest ' Ibamdls till m
Evelyn "Champagne" King, but she has not
responded.
Turvo said no other bands will be named until
a decis'ion is final. "We're not going to talk
about any of the bands under consideration
now. We're going to wait until we sign them and
the committee agrees before we release any
names."
Turvo said the committee is looking for help
with the concert. "We've got a lot to do in the
time remaining, and we need help from anyone
who's willing," he said.
The,committee hopefully will reach a decision
by the end of the week so the concert can be
publicized well in advance, Turvo said.
Kelly said the promoter should not have any
trouble signing bands despite the nearness of the
concert date. "It's- not getting too. close to time
to sign bands," he said. "The type we're going
after now are lower cost bands, not big names
like Jimmy Buffett or Boston. They are bands
just looking for places to play."
Student ticket prices will still be $4 and a
maximum of 20,000 will be sold, Kelly said.
Seats will be on the visitors side of Kenan only
so the bands will not play in the direction of
N.C. Memorial Hospital.
The committee has discussed the possibility
of hiring students as security guards to join the
Chapel Hill and University police.
waiting list Ion,
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
Students whose number on the housing waiting list is greater
than 25 should seriously consider looking for off-campus
.housing, said Peggy Gibbs, associate director for housing
contracts.
Since Feb. 21, 86 men and 88 women on the waiting list have
'canceled their contracts.
Approximately the first 150 cancellations will be filled by
freshmen, Gibbs said. She said Undergraduate Admissions has
told the housing department to expect a freshmen class of 3,200,
58 percent of which will be female.
"We could house 75 men and 75 women from the waiting list if
the ratio remains the same, if cancellations remain as in the past.
But all those things aren't going to happen," Gibbs said. Gibbs
said the ratio is running 71 percent female, but that women
usually turn in their forms sooner than men.
April 15 is the deadline for freshmen to pay enrollment fees.
But students are accepted after that date, Gibbs said. It will be
after July 1 before students on the waiting list are given
assignments.
In the middle of July, students on the waiting list will receive
one of three letters from the housing department. The letter will
tell them if their chances of getting on-campus housing are good,
only fair or very unfavorable.
"At this point, you must sign and return a card saying you'll
accept housing anywhere on campus, including temporary
housing," Gibbs said. If a student does not return the card, his
name will be taken off the waiting list
Temporary housing includes living in a study room for a while.
People who are assigned to study rooms are usually freshmen
women, people on the waiting list or students who have applied
for financial hardship status.
Gibbs said students are notified of on-campus housing "right
down the line." As the time for dorms to open draws closer, the
housing department begins calling students about rooms rather
than writing to them. No one on the waiting list is given on
campus housing after the dorms open until the people living in
study rooms and in forced triples are moved into permanent
housing.
CcMiirit to IhieaF appeal' Friday
tui
By BEN ESTES
Staff Writer
The Student Supreme Court will meet at 3 p.m.
Friday in Room 217 Carolina Union to hear an
appeal which cbuld determine the editorship of the
Daily Tar Heel, Student Supreme Court Chief
Justice Roy Cooper said Monday.
"This was the earliest time we could have it to
insure a fair hearing," Cooper said. The members of
the court will meet sometime during the week to
decide how the hearing will be conducted, he said.
The hearing was required because candidate Allen
Jernigan is appealing an Elections Board decision
which certified the Feb. 21 runoff election in which
he lost to David Stacks. The board originally refused
to certify the election but then reversed its decision
Feb. 28.
The Supreme Court has not heard a case since
January 1976. Cooper said the court has been
preparing for the hearing by reading old cases.
Jernigan will submit a brief concerning his appeal by
Wednesday, Cooper said.
Jernigan will be represented at the hearing by
David McKinnon, former DTH associate editor.
Cooper said McKinnon will make the opening
statement. Student Attorney General Suzie Mitchell,
counsel for the Elections Board, will then make her
statement and McKinnon will be given a chance for
rebuttal.
"Supreme Court members get to ask questions at
any time," Cooper said.
The court will make a decision immediately after
the hearing, Cooper said. Due to the circumstances
of the case, the court will override a rule which
prevents decisions from being announced until one
day after the hearing, he said.
"The Supreme Court will immediately set an
election date if an election needs to be held," Cooper
said. If a new election does not need to be held.
Stacks will immediately become DTH editor.
Cooper said.
Cooper said he has issued a temporary injunction
staying the Elections Board decision to certify the
election. This will prevent Stacks from taking office
until the court can resolve the issue.

The proposed UNC Press Building gained new life
last week with Chapel Hill Historic District
Commission member Diane Lea's request to rescind
the motion that defeated the building certificate
application Feb. 22.
Lea voted Feb. 22 against granting a Certificate of
Appropriateness for the University's revised press
building plans. The 5-4 vote defeated UNC's second
attempt to receive the commission's approval for the
building design. The commission had voted 7-2 to
deny the certificate last October. Objections centered
on tlje building's size in relation to the surrounding
residential neighborhood.
In a Feb. 28 letter to H DC members. Lea asked to
change her opposing vote and to reconsider the
certificate request at the commission's Mar. 22
meeting.
Lea's letter said she changed her mind after
walking the 1.3-acre site at Boundary Street and
Hooper Lane with University Planning Director
Gordon Rutherford.
Lea said she found the revised design adequate to
take advantage of the site and conceal its bulk, while
screening it from view in the neighborhood.
Lea said she thinks the 1 1 ,000-square-foot
building is an inappropriate land use in the Historic
District, but she added, "to defeat the building on
that basis.. .is to subvert the uses of a Certificate of
Appropriateness."
John L. Temple, vice chancellor for business and
finance, said University officials will delay a decision
on whether to use legal action to clear the way for
construction until after the Mar. 22 H DC meeting.
Meanwhile the press building faces another hurdle
at Tuesday night's Board of Aldermen meeting. The
