V ! f M ' "rv y t'y G'M8MB 0 By JIM HUMMEL Staff Writer Editor's note: This is the first in a three-part series that analyzes the future of independent universities and colleges. There is a consensus that colleges and universities will be facing tougher times in the years to come, both in North Carolina and across the country. The severity of the problem and who will be hurt most by the change has sparked discussion recently among both public and private school educators. The declining number of 18-21 year-olds, coupled with a tighter economy and changing perceptions of what a college education has to offer, signals a decrease in the number of students enrolling in post-secondary institutions. Many say the private schools will be hurt the most, mainly because of the higher costs of attending those schools. "We've been talking about the question of dropping enrollment for many years now," said James Olliver, former acting president of the N.C. Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. The problem is nothing new, Olliver said. "You knew how many people were born 18 years ago. It's about time people started waking up to the difficulties we're in for." Olliver served as acting president from June 1978 until last week, when state Sen. John Henley of Hope Mills was chosen to fill the spot permanently. Olliver will become vice president of the organization that represents 30 senior private institutions and eight private junior colleges across the state. Statistics show that private colleges across the nation are experiencing hard times, with the troubles only beginning. lathe early 1960s, one or two colleges closed per year, according to the National Center for Educational Statistics. But in the last decade, 84 institutions shut down, all but one privately supported. Sr:? estimates predict 200 schools will close in the 1980s. ; .'v ' - The sccc c "t.,-5 projected decline in the 18-21 -year-old group also vari sTt" ) par the number of 1 8-2 1 -year-olds will peak at 17. 1 million nationally, compared to 9 million 20 years ago.

' 3 years are we r 'so fall eonsin , ilaries The economic status of university professors, already bad, is even worse this year," Han sea said. "Last year (1978-1979) overall salaries rose only 6 percent, while the price index was 9.3 percent." The last 30 years have also seen a decline in the percentage of students who attend private schools. In 1950, half the people attending U.S. colleges were enrolled in private schools! By 1979, the number had fallen to 22 percent nationally. North Carolina differs slightly from the national average, with 70 percent of its college students enrolled in public schools, and 30 percent in the private sector. How will the colleges in North Carolina, both public and private, be affected in the next decade? Analysts say the decline in 18-21-year-olds will surface later here than in the rest of the country, possibly in the mid-1980s, and even then will be less severe. The National Planning Association predicts the decline to be 16 percent in the 1980s, below the national average of 24 percent. "North Carolina is not going to be hit as hard as the northeastern schools," Olliver said. "Obviously the public school tuition is very low compared to the rest of the country. "Likewise, the cost of the independent schools is much better in North Carolina." Olliver said a student, given the chance to go to a private school, will pick one that is less expensive and attractive. Most of the private schools in the state cost less compared to those in other areas of the country. The thing I'm really impressed with is how much personality some of these schools have," he said. The students are the best recruiters and they've been doing a good job." Tar Me el win ha 31s in series of 6firts9 :. I "4 By REID TUVIM Sports Editor North Carolina's 35-14 win over Cincinnati Saturday in Kenan Stadium produced quite a few "firsts":' Amos Lawrence scored three touchdowns in a game for the first time in his UNC career. - . Mike Chatham, a reserve tight end, had his best day ever, catching three passes for 75 yards, including his first touchdown reception for 58 yards. (See related story on page 6.) , Poug Paschal, the senior, fullback whom UNC head coach Dick Crum calls the best all-around running back on the ' team, rushed foi 11 yards his first 100 yaid game in a Carolina uniform. Phil Farris and Wayne Tucker returned kickoffs, as Crum tried to avoid using Lawrence now that Kelvin Bryant is injured. And, for the first time this year, much of the crowd was worried as the teams left the field for halftime, the score tied at 14. That score is misleading, though. Cincinnati should have been up by at least three and possibly six points. Only two missed field goals one wide right, the other wide left by the Bearcat's Steve Schultz kept the Heels from facing another season first being behind. Not too many people gave the Bearcats much of a chance to win coming into Kenan against the 16th-ranked Tar Heels, not with a 1-2 record and after losing their top rusher for the season to knee surgery. But Crum, who faced Cincinnati each year at Miami of Ohio, knew the Bearcats wouldn't just roll over. "We knew we couldn't underestimate them like a lot of people did," he said after the game. Crum said the coaches told the players all week to expect a tough game, "but there's nothing like having the experience." The crowd got that experience, too. After the Heels rolled 95 yards in 13 plays with Lawrence going .-over from the I following a pass interference call in the end zone against Mike "Clark defending Phil Farris Cincinnati came right back to tie the game 7-7. Bearcat quarterback Tony Kapetanis went 8 yards on a sweep. "Our only confusion in the first half was on their first touchdown," Crum said. They came out in a formation we weren't used to, and we didn't adapt." 'The Heels didn't seem to adapt for a little while longer. After Cincinnati got the ball back on a punt, the Bearcats drove down to "the 22, where Schultz missed his first gield goal.Two Tar Heel possessions later, Matt Kupec threw a wounded duck pass that was picked off by Clark and returned to the Carolina 34. Schultz soon missed field goal number two. See TAR HEELS on page 6 if i J Carolina's Phil Farris was looking at touchdown number four on the year in the first quarter against Cincinnati, but a Bearcat defensive back climbed up Farris' back (above) to knock the ball away, prompting a pass Jnterference call (right). Farris got his TD later in the game, though on the same pattern.

By ROANN BISHOP Staff Writer The $20 increase in student health fees implemented this fall is needed to ensure that the Student Health Services will ' break even financially, Health Services Director Dr. James; A-Taylor told the Health Fee Advisory Board Friday. The $20 increase was approved July 20 . by the UNC Board of Governors and Sept. 10 by the Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees. Student Body President J.B. Kelly has said he plans to ask the full Board of Trustees to reconsider the committee's decision later this month, however. Taylor said Friday the increase is needed to keep the health services income in line with inflation. "People are hard put to understand for the last three to four years we've operated in the red because we've had a stable student body and we've collected the same amount of student fees every year," Taylor said. "While this has been going on, this country has been through a period of incredible inflation in which prices of all kinds have gone up. "In that sense, faced with the situation of stable income and rising costs, there's been a bigger and bigger (health services) deficit. That is what we are faced with this year." The last health fee increase was made four years ago. At that time, Taylor, proposed an $8.50 per student per semester increase because inflation did not rise as high as projected, Taylor said. "We've been living off this surplus," Taylor said. "This $20 fee increase this year is to put us back into a break-even situation." Some of the $20 increase is earmarked to support additional services in the new Student Health Services facility to be opened in December. Other portions of the fee increase will be used to improve ,v existing services. - - " - - It is our desire to make the health services for the students on this campus as good as we can possibly make them," Taylor said. The turrcnt Student Health Services facilities were built during World War II by the 6th Naval District and the University to provide medical services for naval cadets. The University took over the building after the war. The building's capacity is inadequate for the current student body, Taylor said. This building was never designed to take care of 20,000 students' health needs," Taylor said. There is simply no way to practice medicine in this type of facility. We have long since run out of space for any new people." The $20 increase is broken down as follows: $15.01 to fund existing services when they are moved to the new health services facilities. $1.23 to fund new positions required to staff the new facilities. $2.44 to provide additional staff to meet existing need's which cannot be fulfilled in the current facilities. 67 cents to fund new services. 65 cents for reserve funds. These fee requirements were based on the assumption that the new building would be occupied and proposed staff positions would be filled by Nov. I. Health service officials now plan to move into the new building during the Christmas holidays, however. d y WASHINGTON (AP) Bidding America a fond farewell. Pope John Paul 1 1 completed his triumphant pilgrimage Sunday, unyielding in his condemnation of abortion and in his insistence that women have no place in the priesthood. "God bless America! God bless America!" were his final words to a country that turned out in record numbers to embrace him. The only disappointing crowd of his tour was on the final day. Instead of the million people predicted for the pontifical Mass on the mall of the apital, police said there were no more than 175,000. But millions of people, perhaps 10 million or more, saw John Paul on his six-city tour. For many, it was a brief glimpse the pontiff speeding by in a motorcade, standing up through the sunroof of his limousine. Others saw him from afar, a distant, small figure behind an altar. A chill breeze ruffled the pope's green and white vestments as he celebrated Mass on Sunday. Wbrshipers shivered in blankets under rain-threatening skies as the mercury dropped into the low 60s. In a dramatic moment earlier in the day, John Paul heard the challenge of a nun who urged that women be allowed to become priests. He did not depart from prepared remarks to respond to her, thus underscoring his continued opposition. In his farewell remarks, the pope thanked President Carter, the first president to officially receive the supreme pastor of 700 million Roman Catholics. And he thanked the American people, declaring, "Your hospitality has been warm and filled with love. All of you will constantly be remembered in my prayers.... Today, therefore; my final prayer is this: that God will bless Americaso that she may increasingly become and truly be and long remain one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." It was the pope's ninth speech of the day and the 70th of his nine-day tour that began in Ireland. From Washington, Pope John Paul 11 flew non-stop to Rome aboard a TWA 747 dubbed Shepherd I. For his mall homily, the pope chose "family life" because "Right to Life Sunday," an annual event, coincided with his visit. In the strongest language of the week, the pope urged his listeners to reflect on the "nature of marriageon the family and on the value of life." In the Mass, televised to a global audience, John Paul raised his strong voice on a touchy issue that divides his Roman Catholic flock in the United States: abortion and birth control "When the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, we will stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life," the pontiff said in his homily. When the institution of marriage is abandoned to human IPope attract By KATHY HENDERSON Special to The Daily Twr lied WASHINGTON "Welcome John Paul II. praise the Lord, get your bumper stickers!" For the vendor who walked through the crowd of 175.000 that gathered for Mass Sunday on the mall of the capital, it was all in a day's work. The end of the pope's pilgrimage to the United States was but another opportunity for profit, and the customers ranged from the devout to the simply curious, all straining for a glimpse of the pontiff. "You'll notice that we didn't bother the street vendors today because it was a special occasion," said Sgt. Lawrence Fugh of the U.S. Park Police, one of the federal officers assigned to control the crowds. "Children should be able to buy banners. Of course, it's a ripoff..." While some of the thousands of photographs, banners, buttons and posters on sale in the nation's capital Sunday may indeed have been less than a bargain, thousands of worshippers and others converged to hear the last Mass of the pope's week-long tour. Many waited for hours along his motorcade route and in the mall, and clergymen stood alongside blue-jean clad youths to listen selfishness or reduced to a temporary, conditional arrangement that can easily be terminated, we still stand up and affirm the indissolubility of the marriage bond," he said. "When freedom is used to dominate the weak, to squander natural resources and energy, and to deny basic necessities to people, we will stand up and reaffirm the demands of justice and social lovei "When the sick, the aged or the dying are abandoned in loneliness, we will stand up and proclaim that they are worthy of love, care and respect."

One middle-aged New Jersey woman said she waited for four hours just to get near the pope, and she added: "It was worth every minute of it." She described the Mass as "just beautiful," and said she and her family decided to make the trip to Washington after watching television news reports of the pope's activities all week. Police described the crowds as amiable. Many of the people who gathered at the mall were equipped with blankets and coolers.
