The addition of extra buses
Wednesday on Chapel Hill Transit's C
and L bus routes should eliminate the
overcrowding riders experienced this
week, director of operations Bert
Gurganus' said Wednesday.
Drivers on the two routes, which serve
most of the area apartment complexes,
were forced to leave some students
behind during their peak periods of
operation, even though on Monday and
Tuesday some drivers were carrying as
many as 80 people a trip, he said. The
buses seat 45 people.
"The addition of the Tar Heel Manor
apartment complex on the C route, plus
the fact that more people are using the
bus system because of the gas shortage,
were the main reasons for the
overcrowding," Gurganus said.
But Wednesday extra buses began
running on both the C and L routes
during their peak periods. "Wednesday
we were able to pick up all riders on
inbound routes," he said. "We had four v
buses running on one trip on the C route."
Gurganus said the transit system is
training new drivers. Until Sept. 22, when
they begin driving, the system's driver
situation will be tight, he said. "But as
long as the drivers we have are willing to
work, 1 don't anticipate any problems,"
he said-
The town of Carrboro and UNC
eventually will have to make
arrangements if they want to add the
extra buses to the system permanently, he
said.
Doug Sharer, chairman of the
Carrboro Transportation Committee,
said Carrboro will meet with the
University to talk about the increased
costs.
"I'm pleased people are using the
service." he said. "If the demand for more
service is there, we'll meet it.-
"At the beginning of the school year
some confusion is to be expected," Sharer
said. "We're going to be looking at the C
route carefully this year. We may decide
to divide it into two routes.".

Kelly requests
olicy change
fo r re n t re b ate
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
Student Body President J.B. Kelly has requested a change in
the rent rebate policy for the approximately 1,000 dorm residents
who are temporarily tripled or quadrupled. Kelly has suggested
that the University not receive more rent than it would if the
room housed only two people.
Currently, all students in triples receive a 20 percent rebate for
the time they are tripled after Oct. 1. In a letter to Donald A.
Boulton, vice chancellor for student affairs, Kelly said this policy
gives the University 150 percent of the normal room rent for the
first six weeks of the semester and 120 percent of the rent for the
time after Oct. 1.
"I " Kelly also sent a letter to Board of
- " Trustees member Thomas .Wv Larpbeth
t asking the board members to visit a tripled
I i room to see the crowded conditions first
; j hand.
"It is my understanding that the Student
Affairs committee of the board will handle
this problem," Kelly said. The committee,
set up to study the student health fee
increase, also will consider the tripling
problem. Kelly said he hopes the
committee members will visit the tripled
rooms.
Housing Director James D. Condie said he has not seen the
letter Kelly sent to the trustees, but he does not feel the U niversity
is profiting from the dorm triples. "All I can say, without having
seen the letter, is that we spend a lot of money to house people
who are tripled," he said. "It isn't a clear income."
Jan Bakewell, a secretary in the housing contracts office, said
all students who were temporarily living in study rooms have
been assigned to permanent housing. Twenty-five freshmen and
53 upperclassmen were assigned temporary housing in study ,
rooms at the beginning of the semester.
But Kelly said the 20 percent rent rebate is not sufficient to
cover the costs of storage and moving belongings from one dorm
to another when students receive a permanent space. Because
freshmen cannot park on campus they do not have a car to move
their belongings in, he said.
Condie said the housing department is looking for an answer
to this problem. "If we had a vehicle to use, we would have to hire
a full-time employee to drive it," he said. "That's why we asked
the student organization for help."
Condie asked the Residence Hall Association for help and
suggestions on how to ease moving problems for freshmen.
However, the RH A Board of Governors came up with no
solutions and referred the problem back to housing. "We don't
have a resolution yet," Condie said.
Kelly said the University's solution for the tripling problem is
based on the assumption that a certain number of students will
drop out for one reason or another. "I've had RDs and RAs tell
me that parents have arrived at school with their kids, seen the
living conditions and taken the students back home." Kelly said.
"Who knows what kind of students the University is losing
because of the housing conditions'?
"Maybe fewer students would flunk out if we had fewer
triples," Kelly said.

Kosygin
MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union "tacitly
agreed" Wednesday to four U.S. Senate
proposals for altering the framework of the
SALT II strategic arms limitation treaty,
including a limit on Soviet production of the
Backfire bomber, a Senate source said.
The source, who sat in on a meeting between a
delegation of six Senators and Soviet Premier
Alexei N. Kosygin, said Soviet acceptance of
the modifications was indicated when Kosygin
did not respond "negatively" to the four Senate
reservations that were voiced about ratification
of the treaty.
According to the source, the changes that the
Soviets would accept would be:
' The Soviet Union would hot exceed its'
current production of Backfire bombers, now
set at 30 a year. Under the treaty as signed by
President Carter and President Leonid I.
Brezhnev in Vienna, Soviet production of the
new and highly sophisticated Backfire is not
restricted.
The United States would not forfeit its
unrestricted right to cooperate with and support
its European allies militarily.
The Soviet Union would not demand that
the treaty protocol be extended beyond 1981.
The Soviet Union would accept as part of
the treaty all unwritten "agreements and
common understandings" reached in the course
of the negotiations.
Kosygin warmly welcomed the six-member
delegation to the meeting in the Kremlin's
Council of Ministers building, reminding them
that "it is easy to lose" the spirit of mutual
understanding that has guided U.S.-Soviet
relations under detente.
Reporters were ushered out of the room
before delegation leader Sen. Joseph Biden Jr.,
D-Del., could respond to Kosygin's remarks.
"The delegation met with Kosygin for nearly
three hours and the main topic was SALT III.
We talked some about SALT II verification for
'the last 30 minutes or so," said a source," a
member of Senate Foreign Relations
Committee staff who asked not to be identified.
"There was a great deal of give-and-take, a
very active and. serious dialogue," the source
said. The senators agreed, however, not to
discuss their meeting with Kosygin publicly
until a news conference Thursday morning.
The conference will be about a starting point
for, SALT III, the staff member said.
Earlier, however, Biden said talks with Soviet
officials would focus on SALT II and future
U.S.-Soviet attempts to limit nuclear
Biden
proliferation.
Biden said Tuesday the treaty could not be
allowed to interfere with U.S. relations with its
allies, and that the Senate will attach
"important reservations and understandings" to
the SALT II accord during the ratification
debate.
"These changes," he told the Soviet
Parliament. will constitute, recommended
conditions for Senate advice and consent to the
ratification of the treaty as a whole."
Soviet leaders, while remaining silent on the
issue in recent weeks, have warned that any
changes would kill the arms limitation
agreement and forestall attempts to re-open the
'talksr-,- - " "-.--;
Brezhnev and Carter discussed the prospects
for SALT 111 in mid-June when they met to sign
SALT II. but there has been little public
dialogue on a third agreement since then.
The 75-year-old Kosygin looked tan and fit at
the official reception Wednesday, joking over
the 6-foot-5 height of Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J.
a former basketball player.
Also in the delegation, which leaves Moscow
Thursday, were Sens. David L. Boren, D-Okla.,
Carl Levin. D-Mich., Richard G. Lugar, R
Ind., and David H. Pryor, D-Ark.

WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. intelligence
officials bugged the apartment of U.N.
Ambassador Andrew Young and knew ahead
of time he was going to meet with a
representative of . the Palestine Liberation
Organization. ABC News reported
Wednesday.
A spokesman for the Justice Department
termed the report "absolute nonsense."
Young's July 26 meeting with PLO
representative Zchdi Labib Tern created a
furor which led to Young's resignation. The
Carter administration's foreign policy forbids
contacts with the PLO until it recognics the
right of Israel to exist.
ABC said U.S. intelligence officials had
bugged Young's New York apartment and
heard him set up the PLO meeting with the
U.N. ambassador from Kuwait. The network
said it did not know if Young's actual meeting
with the PLO representative also was bugged.
Asked about the report, Robert Havel, a
spokesman for the Justice, Department, said,
"It's simply not so. There was no bug. The FBI
knew nothing about the meeting until it
became public."
Under federal law, electronic surveillance of
U.S. citizens requires theauthorizationof the
attorney general. Havel said Attorney General
Benjamin Civiletti had given no men
approval.
Young could not be reached for comment
and his office said it would have nothing to say
about the report. However. ABC quoted him
as saying. "I don't believe it."
Three consecutive life sentences
MacDonald.
guilty ;
ffatheMm-law feels vindicated.
RALEIGH (AP) A federal judge sentenced former Green
Beret doctor Jeffrey MacDonald to three consecutive life terms
Wednesday after 12 tearful jurors, their voices quavering,
pronounced him guilty of murdering his wife and two young
daughters.
One by one, the seven men and five women gave their verdicts:
guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing and bludgeoning
death of his pregnant wife, Collete, 26; guilty of second-degree
murder in the death of daughter Kimberly, 5, and guilty of first
degree murder in the death of his daughter Kristen, 2.
Asked by U.S. District Court Judge T. Dupree if he had
anything to say. the 35-year-old Huntington Beach, Calif,
emergency physician stood and said in a steady voice:
"Sir, I'm not guilty. I don't think the court has heard all the
evidence. That's all I have to say."
Dupree then sentenced MacDonald to three consecutive life
terms, the maximum penalty on all counts. Attorneys said they
did not know when he would be eligible for parole.
Durpree also denied motions to continue MacDonald's
$100,000 bond pending appeal. He was taken into custody by
U.S. marshals immediately and led, handcuffed, out of the
courthouse.
It took the jury about 6V2 hours to reach its verdict, and.
according to one juror, three ballots.
"At first we couldn't believe it," the juror said of the
government's argument that MacDonald killed his family, then
wounded himself to cover up his actions while stationed at Fort
Bragg in 1970.
"But a drop of water can wear away a rock. Little by little, the
evidence became overwhelming," he said. The juror asked that
his name not be used.
Bernard Segal, who has been MacDonald's attorney since the
Army brought its charges 9'5 years ago, described MacDonald's
reaction as "genuine shock. There was no bitterness, no anger,
just disbelief."
MacDonald wiped tears from his eyes as the jury announced
its verdict. His mother, Dorothy, wept quietly.
Shortly after the verdict was announced, MacDonald was
fired as director of emergency medical services at St. Mary
Medical Center in Long Beach, Calif.
H is former father-in-law, Alfred Kassab, said his pleasure was
bittersweet. He waged a lengthy campaign to have MacDonald
brought to trial for the 1970 slayings at Fort Bragg.
"We fought hard. We feel vindicated," said Kassab. of
maSBS.Ii .f by his account of waking up to the screams
of his wife and Kimberly to see four drug-crazed intruders. "Acid
is groovy. Kill the pigs," chanted one of them, a woman carrying
a candle.
He said he struggled with the attackers, was knocked
unconscious and awoke to find his family's bodies.
But prosecutors argued MacDonald, tired from long hours at
work and angry over a series of marital problems, "in one brief
moment" lost control and swung at his wife with a crude club,
hitting Kimberly with the same blow.
MacDonald. panicked and desperate to cover up his actions,
went to Kristen's room and stabbed her repeatedly, prosecutors
argued.
Meanwhile, they said, Mrs. MacDonald tried to protect
Kristen. She was clubbed again and carried from the room in a
sheet. MacDonald then plunged an icepick into her chest but
through his own ripped pajama top, torn from him in the struggle
with his wife.
The jury paid close attention to the top, asking to see it shortly
after it began its deliberation. It also asked for blood-type
evidence, which showed a pattern of blood stains inconsistent
with MacDonald's account. .
Prosecutors argued MacDonald based his account on tarticlcs
about the Manson family cult killings six months before.

Renwick advocates creation of office for minority affair
By THOMAS JESSIMAN
Sun" W riter
If minority student enrollment is to continue to increase,
the University must create an office for minority student
affairs, Hayden B. Renwick, associate dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences, said Wednesday.
"We do not have an office or dean of minority affairs, and
until that happens we will continue to have a high rate of
attrition." Renwick said.
University officials expect 420 blacks to enroll this year, an
increase of 123 over last year, and the largest black freshman
class in the school's history.
"What I need is additional staff," Renwick said. "We have
myself, an assistant dean, a secretary, and four graduate
assistants, but if we had an office for minority student affairs,
an additional assistant dean and eight more graduate
students there would be a lot more we could do.
" "For comparison, Duke has an office of minority student
affairs, a staff of two deans, a secretary and 12 graduate
assistants and a total undergraduate enrollment of 415
blacks," Renwick said. "We do not have an office for
minority student affairs and yet we have more blacks in our
freshman class than they have in their entire undergraduate
program."
Renw ick said an office for minority student affairs would
provide:
A means of coordinating the various minority student
organizations on campus.
A referral sen ice to give needed information to minority
students.
An opportunity to set up a summer program whereby
minority students could come to the University 6-7 weeks
prior to their first year to learn communication skills.
A foundation for a tutorial program that would
coordinate various campus academic tutoring programs. .
A separate office for minority student affairs would allow
his staff to more carefully observe the academic progress of
black students. Renwick said.
"Right now we have a minority students program but not
the necessary office for it," Renwick said.
Even without the minorities office, the sheer number of
minority students in this year's class will make their
adjustment to the University easier, Renwick said.'
"The minority advisement program will be more effective
and will lead to some reducement in the attrition rate,"
Renwick said. "The biggest mistake a black freshman can
make is to overload himself with 17 or 18 hours a term. If
they wind up with below a 2.0 then they have not had a
successful year and they are already behind.
"It's better for them to take less courses and go to a
summer session than to overload and wind up there because
they have to."
Renwick first questioned the University's policies
regarding the admission of minority students in a newspaper
column last fall. He said he thinks the issues he has raised
during the past year have helped increase the number of
black students enrolling at UNC, but the University still
needs to do more.
"1 am pleased with the increase in black freshmen but
really we should have had those figures four yean ago," he
said.
Renwick added that he will continue to be vocal in
questioning University policies he believes arc wrong.
"My major weakness is that I have a big mouth," Renw ick
said. "It's not a good situation when you get the feeling that
many people disagree with what you want to do and yet at the
same time no one says that you are lying.
"Any black in a position of responsibility cannot with any
conscience keep his mouth shut unless he's awfully selfish
and only looking out for himself. I love this university and 1
love my job, but when I see pockets of injustice against black
people I will not ignore them."
