Iran to release
more-hostages
The Associated Press
Ten more American hostages left the U.S. Embassy in Tehran
early Tuesday for the airport, ABC-TV reported from the
Iranian capital. A Swiss airliner was waiting there to fly them to
West Germany to join three others released Monday.
An ABC reporter in Tehran said the hostages four women
and six blacks were driven out of the embassy gates in three
cars. The students who had been holding them in the embassy
since Nov. 4 put them on display at a news conference Monday
night.
The list of 10 hostages to be released did not include the names
of Elizabeth Ann Swift, identified in Washington as a political
officer, or Katherine Koob, who apparently were still being held
despite the release of the other women.
Earlier in the day, Katherine Gross, 22, of Cambridge Springs,
Pa., a secretary in the economics section of the embassy, and
Sgts. William E. Quarles of Washington, D.C., 23, and Ladell
Maples, 23, of Earle, Ark., both black, were flown to Wiesbaden,
West Germany, where they immediately called their families,
U.S. officials said.
Iranian foreign affairs supervisor Abolhassan Bani Sadr said
Monday in a CBS interview that the remaining American
hostages could not be released for two months, until the seating
of a new government, unless the United States returns Shah
Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to, Iran.
The shah is undergoing cancer treatment in New York, and the
United States has said it will not force him to leave.
Bani Sadr said the shah, if returned, would be tried under
Iranian law and would not be sentenced to death unless convicted
of murder or of causing someone's death by such means as
torture.
He also said former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark
wrote a letter advising Tehran of legal steps it could take to have
the shah returned. The letter was apparently 'written before
President Carter sent Clark to the Mideast in an unsuccessful
effort to have the hostages released. Clark confirmed the letter's
existence through his New York law firm, but denied giving the
Iranians legal advice, CBS said.
The State Department could not confirm release of the second
group but issued a list of the 10 hostages who appeared at the
news conference. Reports said the new group of hostages would
be flown to Wiesbaden to join the others for observation in a U.S.
military hospital.
During the news conference at the embassy, which has been
occupied since Nov. 4, the 10 hostages sat under a banner
accusing President Carter of protecting "this national criminal,"
referring to the exiled shah, whom the militants want in exchange
for the remaining 49 hostages.
At the conference, a black hostage who was not identified was
asked about the militants demands for return of the shah. He
replied:
"I think there is enough evidence for the United States to
return the ex-shah to Iran because, if he has committed all the
crimes the students say he has, then he should be tried as a
criminal."
The State Department list identified the 10 as: Elizabeth
Montagne, Calumet City, 111.; Terri Tedford, female, South San
Francisco, Calif.; Joan Walsh, Ogden, Utah; Lillian Johnson,
Elmont, N.Y. David Walker, Waller, Texas; Lloyd Rollins,
Alexandria, Va.; Wesley Williams, Albany, N.Y.; Neal
Robinson, Houston; James Hughes, Langley AFB, Va.; and
Joseph Vincent, New Orleans.
Spokesmen for the militants said earlier that 10 hostages
would be freed within hours after the conference and would be
flown out of Iran aboard a Swiss plane specifically ordered by the
United States. . .

Despite opposition from Student
Government at an open hearing M onday,
the Faculty Council Educational Policy
Committee appeared to be solidly in
support of a proposed 17-hour-per-semester
preregistration limit.
We need to speak to special needs
those of junior transfers and first
semester freshmen," said Mark
Appelbaum, committee chairperson.
Appelbaum said he committee's
research showed that approximately
1,500 class seats remained vacant at the
end of last semester because of students
who preregistered for more courses than
they intended to take and then dropped
courses at the end of the drop-add period.
He added that many students,
especially new ones at UNC, were afraid
or discouraged to pick up a course after
the first three or four weeks of the
semester.
Student Body President J.B. Kelly,
who opposed the preregistration limit at
the hearing, said the committee had not
allowed sufficient time to study the
proposal. Kelly also said he was
unconvinced of the amount of difficulty
students had because of other students
preregistering for more than 17 hours.
"I wonder how big the problem is in
terms of preregistration," Kelly said.
"We're talking about 1,500 seats out of
over 70,000. Also my own personal bias is
against restrictions on students."
Seth Reese of the zoology department
suggested modifying the committee's
proposal so that some, music, physical
education and laboratory credit hours
could be exempted from the 17-hour
limit. A lot of natural science majors
preregister for a legitimate 18 hours,"
Reese said. "Under this proposal they
wouldn't even be able to preregister for all
the courses they need."
Kelly also voiced concern that the
proposal would not allow enough
flexibility for students dealing with one-and-two-credit-hour
courses. "It's going
to be difficult to implement," Kelly said.
Committee members said the number
of classroom seats the limit would keep
open during preregistration was not as
important as the idea that it was unfair
for some students to purposely ask for
more courses than they seriously planned
to take.
Thomas Isenhour, chairman of the
chemistry department, said he was
angered by students who practiced
excessive preregistration but added that
he feels the limit would punish the good
with the bad.
"It implies that UNC students should
just take 1 7 hours per semester," Isenhour
said. "It's too damn easy to drop a course
in this place anyway. We should consider
making a student take as many hours as
he preregistered for. He could trade them
around but he couldn't take less."
Isenhour added that he also felt that
departments should not allow students to
be closed out of any course.
Transit ridership up, more buses expected
By JOHN FOYSTER
Staff Writer
Chapel Hill Community Transit ridership
rose by 4 percent from September to October,
compared to a 5 percent drop in the same period
in previous years, said Bill Callahan, Chapel
Hill's assistant director of transportation.
Ridership in October rose 21 percent over
October of last year, Callahan said.
The figures include ridership on regular
buses, the shared ride services and football
game shuttle buses,
Callahan said that he expected November
ridership figures to stay about the same as
October figures. In past years, ridership has
dropped by as much as 30 percent from October
to NMettiber . " -. V ,
If Callahan's prediction proves true, ridership
will increase significantly this November over
November of last year.
The only route on which ridership has fallen
this year is the K route, serving Kroger Plaza
Shopping Center. Kroger is a park-and-ride
route, which means riders must furnish their
own transportation to Kroger before riding the
bus into town.
Callahan said he had seen greater availability
of parking throughout Chapel Hill in recent
weeks, including Franklin Street and the
University campus.
When parking was short on campus, "people
tried the bus and then stayed with it," Callahan
said. Parking is opening up, but maybe we have
won some people over."
But Callahan also said, "It's really hard to put
your finger on exactly what it (the cause of
increased ridership) is. Anything we say is at
least partially conjecture.
"We had a complete schedule revision this
summer. We came out with what we thought
was a pretty good schedule, and that may help
account for increased ridership."
Callahan said big increases had occured on
the D route, serving the Durham portion of the
U.S. 15-501 Bypass, and the F route, serving
Franklin Street and northern Carrboro.
He said ridership had stayed high in the C
route, which serves many of Carrboro's major
apartment complexes.
Ridership also has increased on the shared
ride system since the town of Chapel Hill took
over direct operation of the system this fall,
Callahan said.
Shared ride provided automobile
transportation for bus pass holders from 6:30
p.m.-midnight Monday-Friday. Fares are 30

The University's efforts to recruit
minority students and faculty members
depends on a balance between several
competing factors, University officials
told a committee investigating the success
of UNC's affirmative action programs
Monday afternoon.
"I think it's important to realize that we
can't pinpoint the success of the hiring of
minority faculty members on any one
person or on any one place, said UNC
Provost J. Charles Morrow in a
campuswide hearing before the
Committee on the Status of Minorities
and the Disadvantaged.
"Things have to be right in several ways
for any faculty member to take a job," he
said, citing the nature of the position,
colleagues association and community
situation as being important factors in
drawing faculty to the University.
Morrow was one of several University
officials who attended the hearing at the
committee's request to discuss different
methods of recruiting minority students
and faculty, retaining minority faculty
and enhancing campus life for minorities.
Carl Smith, assistant to the provost,
accompanied Morrow to report on the
methods used by the Division of
Academic Affairs in recruiting minority
faculty. The division's program was
created in 1967 in response to the
availability of funds to increase minority
faculty recruitment. The program
involves making contacts with
institutions which may be able to refer
faculty candidates and forwarding these
referrals to individual departments.
Since its creation the program has
developed a network of communication
with schools across the country to try to
identify potential minority faculty
candidates, provided funds for contact
establishment trips by department
officials and members of the provost's
office and assisted faculty members in
moving to the Chapel Hill area.
Smith said departments are not

Panelists discuss minorities
required to utilize this program to
increase their number of minority faculty
members, however. "Some departments
prefer to recruit in their own way, and
there is no pressure on my part (to urge
utilization of the program)," he said.

It's still 'Turkey Day' in America

''-.
Fall fashions for Thaddeus Turkey are varied this season,
according to area merchants and domestic engineers. , : .. '
Some are opting for the "no stuffing,' natural look; while
others are brown-bagging it or going for the Star-Wars" foil tent,
look. But the hit of the year is the Mud Pack II, a strong but
porous fabric that protects the bird's skin from extreme heat and
keeps it moist. 1 Y V . "
Whichever style you choose, turkey remains the best
Thanksgiving buy as red meat prices continue to rise. At 59-89
cents a pound, depending on size and quality, turkeysjcost the,
same or a little less than last year. v : , .
Turkey growers produced a record 158 million birds this
year 13 percent more than in 1978. And although ham and
standing rib roast are popular Thanksgiving alternatives in the
South, D.G. Richards of A&P's Car6lina division said Thursday
will be by tar the largest holiday of the year."
, Local grocers expect to sell 40-50 cases of turkeys this week
alone. (Turkeys come two or four to a case, depending on size.) I n
a normal week; the volume is closer to two cases.
Turkey accessories are colorful this season, appearing in
cranberry, pumpkin and celery. Cranberries sell for 49-69 cents a
pound," close to last year's prices. The humble sweet potato of
which North Carolina is the nation's largest producer also is
making a reappearance. . - ' '
The traditional stuffing runs about 59 cents for a small bag or
can be madefrom stale bread. Other inexpensive ways to dress up
your holiday feast include fruit salads, vegetable dishes or just
about anything you can think of and eat.
To top off the meat indulge in the standard mincemeat,
pumpkin or pecan pie or strawberry shortcake, each a la mode.
Try one or more or all.

Somber anniversary
Aide recalls JFK murder
By SUSAN PRUETT
Stiff Writer
This Thanksgiving, memories of holidays filled with
laughter and seldom-seen relatives probably won't dwell with
Jerry Bruno of Chapel Hill for long, because Nov. 22 marks a
different anniversary for him the assassination of John F.
Kennedy.
Bruno was Kennedy's advance man. And among his
responsibilities 16 years ago in organizing Kennedy
supporters m Texas was to choose
the building in Dallas for the
president's luncheon speech. The
location of that building determined
the route of the motorcade leading it
past the Texas School Book
Depository.
Today, Bruno and his wife, Cathy,
are houscparents at the Pi Beta Phi
sorority house. The short, silver
haired Bruno seems content and his
warm, brown eyes express
sensitivity, not bitter sorrow.
But for a long time Bruno was
eaten up with anxiety. After the
president had been shot, he
remembers "I walked around, and
the whole thing...(he paused) was
just flashbacks of my being there (in
Dallas). I just couldn't get it out of
my mind. Why did he have to go to
that building?...lt's a devastating
thing. It lives with me."
Bruno had chosen the Women's
Building in Dallas for the luncheon
and speech because it was larger and
would attract more working people
than the alternative, the showy
Trade Mart. When Texas Gov. John
Connally objected, the Trade Mart
won out, and the motorcade wound
past the window where Lee Harvey
Oswald watted.
Bruno was not in Dallas on Nov.
22, 1963; he was monitoring the motorcade by telephone in
his Washington office. A few minutes after 1:30 p.m. a voice
interrupted: "Get off the line! Get off the line! We've had
problems." The bells of the UP1 and AP wires rang around
him. and he heard someone say. "Did you see the ticker? The
president's been shot!"
"I just walked." Bruno said slowly. "I think I walked for
the next 10 hours. I don't know how to describe it without
going insane.
"Being so close to it...it's all these flashbacks. You were
there. You were a factory worker, and you had a hand in it."

Born in the industrial town of Kenosha, Wis., during the
'20s, Bruno quit school in the ninth grade to work at the
American Motors factory there. His father worked in the
factory, too, and Bruno remembers that his mother always
was harping on him to "build up his seniority rights," the only
kind of security he would probably ever know.
At American Motors, Bruno became involved with the
United Auto Workers, Local 72. He met William Proxmire
at a union meeting and became a volunteer in Proxmire's
unsucccssiui iv4 guDcrnaionai
campaign. When Proxmire was
elected to the Senate in 1 957, Bruno
packed up and went to Washington
with him.
"I always had itchy feet," he
recalled smiling. "I hated the
factory."
The first time Bruno met Kennedy
was in 1956 when Kennedy made a
bid for the vice-presidential
nomination. But Bruno didn't sec
much of him again until I959, when
during a ride on the subway from the
Capitol to the Senate Office
Building. Bruno turned and saw
Kennedy sitting next to him.
"He (Kennedy) said. 'Jerry,
how're you doing? " They talked
briefly about Wiiconin, and
Kennedy said, "Drop by the office.
I'd like to talk to you." Bruno did.
and wound up executive director of
the I960 prciidential campaign in
Wisconsin.
"The whole thing wai so
fascinating," he recalled. "I didn't
even know what it meant to work for
a governor. If you ttopped to
analyze it. you'd say it wasn't
feasible. On top of that he was a
Catholic "
Bruno said thai after Kennedy's
death no one made him feci guilty
but himself. A couple of months after the assassination he
and Kenneth O'Donnell. special assistant to the president,
ucnt to a bar for a drink and for the first time someone said to
him. "For Christ's sake, it's not your fault. Jerry." O'Donnell
died this year at Bruno's age. 53.
"It got to him." Bruno said. "He ended up drinking."
But Bruno continued to do advance work for Lyndon
Johnson. Robert Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey, even
though he said it never was the same. Until he be fan working
