Fund-cut delayed
UNC bidinm its time
notice is yet unfiled
From Staff and Wire Reports
A technical point may buy UNC more
time in its negotiations with the
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare, an HEW spokesman suggested
Tuesday.
When Secretary of HEW Joseph
Califano made his announcement
rejecting the UNC desegregation plan
Monday, he instructed his attorneys to
begin legal procedures to cut off funds
from the University in 30 days. However,
-HEW attorneys must file a notice to start
proceedings before the 30-day period can
take effect. HEW's Office of General
Counsel said the expected notice was not
filed Tuesday.
An HEW official said the attorneys are
expected to file the notice within a few
days because they were ordered by
Califano to act promptly. Nevertheless,
the failure to file may lengthen the
timetable for negotiations between UNC
and HEW.
Califano said he made the decision to
reject the University's desegregation plan
as a last resort and still hopes some
agreement can be reached through
negotiations. Califano told a news
conference he believes negotiations are
far preferable to lengthy and costly
litigation and in the best interests of the
state and the students.
But he said the department has met
UNC more than halfway in an effort to
resolve the matter without litigation.
Sen. Robert Morgan, of Lillington,
N.C., chided HEW Tuesday for its
decision to begin cutting off federal funds
in 30 days. "It's a matter of record that for
many years North Carolina has been in
the forefront of states which have tried to
offer higher educational opportunities to
all of its citizens," Morgan said.
"In fact, the UniYersity system in North
Carolina has been crltfcized by some for
its liberal views and its willingness to
change with the times."
HEW had been ordered by U.S.
District Judge John Pratt of Washington
to oversee a desegregation of the UNC
system, but Morgan accused Califano of
going too far in saying North Carolina
perpetuated a segregated system of higher
education.
"I resent this attempt by HEW to take
control of the state's universities through
the power of withholding federal tax
dollars," the senator said. "The net result
of Califano's actions will do, perhaps,
irreparable harm to a great university
that has long enjoyed a national
reputation. Perhaps it is time for North
Carolina to take a long look and see just

Closed out.
A feeling of alienation.
Security ripped from beneath your feet. No place to
lay your head.
On the other hand, some UNC students said being
closed out of their dorms was the best thing that
happened to them at Carolina. But that's a year later.
Although being closed out initially can shatter the
security established by dorm life, some off-campus
students said in retrospect the move can bring healthy
changes.
One of the first lessons learned comes from
apartment-hunting. For Susan Brady, the search began
last March when she was closed out of Cobb. She and
her roommate found several places that were either full
and with a waiting list or closed to undergraduates. But
each discouragement only increased their boldness.
"After getting the twentieth runaround, you enter
each place with assertion. We had the questions down
pat and knew what to look for, down to details like closet
space," Brady said.
Now a Foxcroft resident, Brady lives with three other
sophomores. "1 barely even feel like I'm in the same
school anymore, because I'm a lot better adjusted. I have
some place to come home to where I'm comfortable.
Relating to all the girls on the hall, I felt compelled to
keep a smiling face. With only three other people, there
are no facades. I can yell if I want, they'll just shove me
out on the balcony. I'm a lot more relaxed with myself."
Since the four roommates didn't all know each other,
they admit they were worried about the others'
interests studying or partying.
However, as they moved in together this fall, Brady
said, their fears subsided and the narrow limits of the
dorm world lifted. "You don't really realize that you're
confined to friends within the dorm, until you meet a
wider range of people," Brady said. "Our roommates
took us to their parties, and Mary and I took them to
ours. Of course, if you're the kind of person who sits and
waits for people to call, you'll have to change, or become
an apartment hermit."
Becoming an apartment hermit was on of Brady's
initial fears. Instead of growing more reclusive, however,
she said she has found herself more involved in campus
activities, and less shy in uncomfortable situations.
Dottie Venable was also apprehensive about her new
living set-up because she wasn't rooming with friends.
However, she said although she didn't have much in
common with the other five women living in the house
on Rosemary Street, the situation still afforded her a
unique opportunity.
"I learned I could be independent and alone
sometimes. It brought out qualities I never knew I had. I
needed a lot of help adjusting, but they didn't give it to
me," Venable said.
"Although I did feel alienated, living in a house off
campus made me learn two big lessons, First, I learned
greater tolerance of lifestyles distinctly different from
my own. The experience also made me real sensitive to
people who feel left out, not just in the dorm, but in any
situation."
Granville Towers resident Ruth Culbertson, who was
closed out of Morrison last year and lived in a house last
fall, said the communication cutoff and financial aspects
were negative, but she discovered improvement in the
use of campus facilities.
"My house was within 25 minutes walking distance, so
I made sure I had everything done on campus before I'd
go home." For Culbertson, this meant better budgeting
of study time and consequently better study habits.
"It put the responsibility on me, and I had to respond
by learning to use the campus facilities better. Being
closed out can do a lot for the individual," Culbertson
said.
For senior Billy Morrison, a Foxcroft resident, the
mixture of North and South campus students and
transfer and graduate students makes apartment life
interesting.
Groups of friends gather at Morrison's apartment for
potluck dinners, hoagie-building suppers, Saturday
morning french toast, and other special occasions

Tyson talks of success,
delivers poetry reading
it
DTM Andy James
Cicely Tyson
By CAROLYN WORSLEY
Staff Writer

Cicely Tyson delighted an audience of
about 1,000 Monday night
overwhelming them with friendliness and
moving them with dramatic readings of
black poetry.
The award-winning actress appeared in
Memorial Hall in conjunction with the
Black Arts Festival.
"I think the measure of success is
within one's own grasp and mind," Tyson
said. "We set standards for ourselves and
when we achieve those standards we are
successful. ,
"The only reason one is successful the
first time is because one gave all his
energy and the best of himself to doing
that one thing. A moment only happens
once. Then it happens, and it's finished.
You can never ever recapture a moment."
Tyson commented briefly on her career
successes, including an academy award
nomination for the movie Sounder,
double Emmy awards for The
Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitt man,
best actress award from the International
Television Festival in Monte Carlo for
her role as Harriet Tubman in A Woman
Called Moses, and other roles in
television films such as Roots, Wilma and
King.
"I feel my life has been divinely guided
because most of the things that have
happened in my career have come from
someone higher up," she said.
Tyson said she had little motivation or
desire to become an actress since as a
child she never went to any movies.
"Acting is something that happened to
me and for me," she said. "When one falls
into something like I fell into acting, one
assumes he is chosen for that particular
thing,"
The most meaningful recognition she
has received during her film career were
the two Emmy awards for The
Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitt man,
Tyson said.
"It was the one thing that my mother
was able to see before I lost her, and 1 was
able to hear her say, I am so proud of
you.'"

more cases of measles reported
By MARLA CARPENTER
Staff Writer
German measles have appeared on the UNC campus.
Six new cases were reported Monday, Associate Director of
Student Health Services Dr. James McCutchan said Tuesday.
The new cases are the first reported since spring break.
McCutchan said the cases probably were exposed during spring
break, as the incubation period for the disease is two weeks.
A sudden increase in the number of cases of German measles
on other college campuses across the state was reported during
the first week of March but UNC was not seriously affected. The
six new cases bring the total number to 15 cases reported at the
University since the beginning of the year.
The new cases are of significant interest, McCutchan said, but
he added the situation does not qualify as an outbreak or an
epidemic because there is no way to predict what will happen
next. -
McCutchan said if the cases do develop into an epidemic,
immunization efforts will be of little value. Immunization is most
effective before an outbreak occurs, he said.
If a student wishes to be vaccinated against the disease,
Student Health Services will test to see if the individual is
susceptible, McCutchan said. If susceptibility is indicated, the
vaccine will be administered.
The vaccine will not be given to women if there is a possibility
they will become pregnant during the next three months because
the vaccine could cause the fetus to be born with congenital
abnormalities.
Symptoms of the disease include a rash, fever and joint aches,
McCuthchan said. Because it is a viral illness, there is no real
treatment for the disease, he said.
Price of crude oil increases
under OPEC rule by 9 percent
GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) The Arab-dominated OPEC
cartel raised crude oil prices by 9 percent Tuesday, which means
Americans soon will be paying up to three cents a gallon more for
gasoline.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
approved a new price of $14.54 a barrel and authorized members
to tack on any surcharges the market might bear.
Analysts said the base price hike, to be imposed Sunday,
would raise American retail gasoline prices by about two cents a
gallon and increase the American bill for foreign oil by at least $4
billion over last year's total of $43 billion. Surcharges adopted by
at least seven members of the 13-nation cartel could add another
penny a gallon to the U.S. gasoline price.
In Washington, Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., chairman
of the Senate Energy Committee, called the increase "greed and a
punitive doctrine... bad news for Western institutions."
' "State Department spokesman Hoddmg 'Carter said it was"
"untimely and unjustified" and points up the need for strict
conservation measures.
But on Wall Street, the stock market reacted by sweeping to a
five-month high, mainly because the increase was less than half
that demanded by some OPEC price hawks. The Dow Jones
industrial average rose 16.54 to 871.36.
Algeria, Venezuela and Libya immediately said their countries
would add surcharges to the basic rate and oil ministers here
predicted other members of the 13-nation cartel would do
likewise.
The base increase alone is expected to enrich OPEC nations by
an additional $13.5 billion this year, analysts here say.
OPEC President Saeed Al Otaiba of the United Arab Emirates
said the next OPEC meeting, scheduled here in June, could
decide on yet another hike.
He said the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other Arab "moderates"
opposed stiffer increases proposed by some countries and would
continue to do so in ttie future. He said Ecuador joined the fight
to keep the increase low..
Militant members such as Iraq, Iran and Libya lobbied hard
for larger increases. Iran said it favored an increase of 29 percent
in the base price.
Most OPEC members added a surcharge of about $1.20 a
barrel, roughly the amount of Tuesday's base price increase, onto
the previous OPEC price of $13.35 when the revolution in Iran
caused a shortage of crude on the world market.
The earlier surcharges were approved by OPEC as a response
to what the cartel saw as profiteering by oil companies getting
upwards of $20 a barrel on the short-term, or "spot" market
because of the shortage cause by the temporary loss of Iranian
production.
The $14.54 price to take effect Sunday was not to have gone
into effect until October.

Oangerous
situation
averted
By PAM KELLEY
Sun Writer
The Carrboro fire department had to
call agents from the State Bureau of
Investigation and the U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to
dispose of 15 sticks of dynamite and
prevent what could have been a highly
explosive situation.
An SBI hazardous materials
technician burned the dynamite in a
pasture and managed not to detonate it.
"I don't know how he did it," Carrboro
Fire Chief Robert Swiger said. "The
dynamite had been kept for many years
in a farm.on Old Greensboro Highway
which is now used as a storage building.
The people who now own the building
decided they had better get rid of it,"
Swiger said.
That decision was apparently quite a
good one, because Swiger said the
nitroglycerin had leaked out of the
dynamite. "When the nitroglycerin
leaks out, dynamite becomes highly
dangerous. Any slight fluctuation in
temperature could set it off," a special
agent for the ATF Bureau said Tuesday.
The ATF agent said 15 sticks of
dynamite could completely demolish an
average-sized house. He refused to
explain the process by which the
dynamite was burned, because he was
afraid someone who didn't know what
he was doing might decide to try it.
"Rnrninp dvnamite is rather touchy."
he said. "It requires a great amount of
knowledge and skill, and u it s not aone
exactly right, you H get a detonation.
If anyone has some dynamite he
wants to eet rid of. he should call his
local police department or the ATF
Bureau, he said.
Good idea .
