Jones has his way. Jones, curator of UNCs North Carolina Collection in Wilson Library, was appointed by Gov. Jim Hunt to chair the committee planning a 1984 commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the first English settlement in America. I fully expect the Queen will visit but it will take years of diplomatic arrangement," Jones said. Jones said the Queen's visit probably would include Fort Raleigh at Roanoke Island, site of the first English settlement in the Western Hemisphere. Jones said that the committee was concerned with the type of commemoration that would benefit and increase visitation to the state. "The committee's objective is not primarily to attract tourists but to call attention to North Carolina and its origin in English America," Jones said. No price tag has been placed on the event, but Jones said that the most expensive project would be a $300,000 construction of a . representation of a 16th century Elizabethan ship similar to the one which transported the settlers to North Carolina. Jones said the committee was conducting a feasibility study to determine whether the ship should be constructed. "Hunt is anxious for us to build the ship, but the question has to be answered through research," he said. Jones said the committee proposed that the ship be funded through private donations from North Carolinians. "The ship would be given to the state and maintained as a permanent historical feature," he said. Jones said that historical and archeological research was the first priority in the commemorations.

Jones, curator of North Carolina Collection ...with statue of Sir Walter Raleigh The Associated Press The Mexican government said Thursday night that it would make no sense for the deposed shah of Iran to return to Mexico, so his visa will not be renewed. Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda issued a terse statement to reporters and refused to answer questions. Doctors at the New York hospital where Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi has been undergoing cancer treatment told him Wednesday that he was free to travel, and there had been reports he would return soon to his rented mansion at Cuernavaca, 50 miles south of Mexico City. The shah arrived June 10 on a visa good for six months, but Foreign Ministry spokesmen had said earlier that the visa was good only for on entry and exit. The visa was dated June 6 and expires Dec. 9. "The government of Mexico will not be a position to renew the visa of the shah on Dec. 9 because it would make no sense for him to return to Mexico," Castaneda said. - He said Mexico's ambassador to Washington, Hugo B. Margain, would inform the shah's family and representatives of the decision. Meanwhile, the Moslem militants holding the U.S. Embassy said a trial of American hostages would become inevitable if the deposed shah is allowed to leave the United States instead of being returned to Iran. A spokesman said a trial could begin soon and hinted the estimated 50 hostages also might be mistreated. ,f He added: "We will change our policy toward the hostages. We have respect for them,' friendly relations, because our religion is Islam. We will change our policy....The reaction of the Iranian people will be such that it brings a great loss to the United States." As has been customary, the young man did not give his name. White House press secretary Jody Powell reacted to the threat by repeating the administration stand that any trial would be a violation of international law. He also repeated the president's statement that the Iranian government will be held responsible for the safety of the hostages. The United States, trying a new diplomatic tactic, asked the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands to order Iran to release the embassy hostages. A world court ruling would further bolster Washington's hand before the U.N. Security Council, scheduled to meet this weekend in a session many regard as crucial. Iran's religious rulers were waiting until the last minute to announce whether the new acting foreign minister, Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, would take part in the U.N. debate. Ghotbzadeh was expected to announce the decision at a news conference scheduled for Friday. In a letter to the international court, Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance also asked the court for unspecified interim measures of protection for the hostages. The court, composed of 1 5 international justices, is not in session, but Vance cited the extraordinary urgency of the Iranian situation and asked for action within days. The U.S. suit asked the court to "declare that Iran shall release immediately and permit to depart from Iran immediately all hostages and other members of the embassy." Tratee to hear Stone appea By ROANN BISHOP Staff Writer Sonia Stone, former director of the UNC Curriculum in African and Afro American Studies, will go before a special three-member committee of the Board of . Trustees at 3 p.m. today in the Morehead Faculty Lounge to present an appeal for tenure. This is the first attmpt by a University faculty member to appeal a non-renewal case to the board since the adoption of 1 revised tenure regulations in 1976. Stone is appealing the University's decision against renewing her faculty employment, against granting her tenure and against promoting her from the rank of assistant professor to associate professor. Stone's request for a reversal of these decisions has been denied by Provost J.C. Morrow, the Faculty Hearings Committee, Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor and the Board of Governors. Several black student and academic organizations will hold a rally- at 1:30 p.m. today in front of South Building to demonstrate support for Stone. The groups represented" at "the rally will include the N.C. Black Student Coalition, the N.C. Tenure Defense Task Force, the N.C. Conference on Black Students, the National Council for Black Studies and the Student Task Force for the Retention of Black Faculty and Staff. Sone's case was reviewed by the Faculty Hearings Committee in fall 1978. She was notified in early spring 1979 that her application for tenure had been . denied. Stone's first appeal was made to Dean Samuel R. Williamson of the College of Arts and Sciences. After her initial appeal of denial of tenure, Williamson relieved Stone of the co-chairmanship of the Curriculum in African and Afro American Studies as of June 30, 1979. Stone was not scheduled to leave this position until June 30, 1980v when her. employment contract expired. Stone then appealed to Morrow and the Faculty Hearings Committee. The hearings committee is prohibited by tenure regulations from addressing the merits of any given case. Its function is solely to determine whether a decision was based on impermissible grounds, such as violation of the First See STONE on page 2 ft ,-: SALT II 'unfair' Group blasts treaty f . . i - r Sonja Stone WASHINGTON (AP) A report drafted by a decisive majority of the Senate Armed Services Committee concludes that the SALT II treaty is unfair, unverifiable and "not in the national security interests of the United States." A committee majority, said by Senate sources to be 11-6 and perhaps greater, is prepared to recommend the Senate not ratify the strategic arms limitation treaty with the Soviet Union until major changes are made. Although the committee's tentative conclusion would have no official standing in the Senate ratification process, it is bound to have a psychological impact on the embattled treaty. The report, which may be voted on early next week, was made available by a staff member of a senator opposed to the treaty. The aide asked not to be identified. Sources said the vote of Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., is still hanging in the balance. Meanwhile, Frank Moore, the chief White House lobbyist on Capitol Hill, said the Senate will not be able to complete work on the treaty until after the first of the year. He said chances for ultimate ratification are good, although neither supporters nor opponents currently have the votes needed to prevail.

The Tar Heels face N.C. State at 9 p.m. in the Greensboro Coliseum. Wake Forest and Duke begin the action at 7 p.m. Tonight's losers play at 7 p.m. Saturday, winners at 9 p.m. That game is on regional television. This Big Four, the 10th, will be the next-to-last. Athletic directors from Carolina, Duke, State and Wake Forest Wednesday night decided to discontinue the two-day event after next year's tournament. "It came as a surprise to me," Carolina coach Dean Smith said Thursday afternoon. "Mr. (Bill) Cobey (UNC director of athletics) called me last night to tell me. "I'm very definitely happy about it." "There were a lot of reasons (for getting out of the Big Four " Cobey said Thursday. "We personally the University of North Carolina feel it's not to our advantage to continue to participate." Cobey said a severe ticket shortage was one factor. "There was an enormous ticket problem," Cobey said. "If we play an outside opponent at Greensboro, we have almost all the tickets at our disposal" Cobey also mentioned the prospect of playing an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent five times during the season as a consideration. "With Georgia Tech coming into the n S -I Women's team seeks tournament funds By MARTHA WAGGONER Staff Writer University Director of Athletics Bill Cobey said Thursday there is no guarantee that the athletic department will pay the difference between the cost of the women's basketball team trip to the London Invitational Tournament Dec. 28 and the amount of money the team raises on its own. Francis Hogan, women's athletic director, was quoted in a local newspaper Thursday as saying that if the women's team fell slightly short of the $15,000 needed for the trip to London, the athletic department would help make up the difference. "That's her opinion," Cobey said. "It would come down to my decision. I have asked them to keep me informed." Hogan said Thursday afternoon that if the team ran short of the money, the team members would find a way to pay for the difference, however. "If we were just a small amount short, I'm sure everybody connected with the teami including myself would chip in," she said. "I , didn't mean to imply that he (Cobey) would make up the difference." Women's basketball coach Jennifer Alley said she was certain that if the difference were small, the players and their parents would pay the extra money. "I think some of the girls and their parents even if their parents have to borrow the money will be willing to make up the deficit " she said. Women's basketball is considered a non-revenue producing sport. The women's team has been denied the money for the tournament because of this classification, athletic officials have said. There are 23 other non-revenue-producing sports at UNC, and financing a trip for women's basketball would set a precedent for the other teams, Alley said. The team has raised a little more than $9,000, Alley said, adding that she expects more money to come in by Monday. "We've asked the girls to go back to the people who have promised contributions and ask them to get them in the mail by then," Alley said. "We need to know how we stand and how much we need." Alley said she received a letter in the mail from an anonymous writer who promised to give the team an interest-free loan if the' players could not raise all the money. The writer said he would be back in touch with Alley by the end of next week to find out how the team stands at that time. "I don't even know who that person is," Alley said. "I'd rather raise the money because that loan will have to be paid back. But if we do take the loan, I hope we can keep contributions coming in after the tournament." Bernadette McGlade, captain of the women's basketball team, said some of the girls had received full sponsorships (subsidization for all their costs for the trip), but the best feedback has come from students. Although tournament officials have given the team an unlimited extension on accepting the bid. Alley said she would like to have a definite decision by Dec. 8. "The girls have exams coming up and I don't want this hanging over us," she said. Alley said she hoped the trip to London would open up new sources of revenue for the team. "Once we make the trip, we'll make some contacts," she said. "Next time we're invited, maybe we'll know well enough in advance at least a year to budget for it, to propose it for the budget or at least have a greater length of time to caise the money. "Everybody follows a winner," Alley said. "We hope this trip will aid recruiting and will cause athletes who ordinarily wouldn't want to go here, to consider us. Survey shows rise in Chapel Mill gas prices OTHAncty Jame Jeff Wolf ...Carolina starter conference, that's 14 games, plus the Big Four, plus the ACC Tournament... we'd like to play some other competition." Smith has said in the past he did not like starting the season with the Big Four. He has said a team losing both games of the tourney can have difficulty rebounding after an 0-2 start. "All (the Big Four) means is that it's one more game in addition to the two during the season," Smith said. "We played Duke four times last year (the Big Four, the conference games and the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament), and it could have been five times with the NCAA. "I hope to replace the Big Four with two teams of Top-20 or Top-10 caliber." See TAR HEELS on page 5 o By JOHN ROYSTER Staff Writer Gasoline prices have continued to rise in the Chapel Hill area, and service station owners and managers say supplies are getting tighter. Eight of 12 stations surveyed Tuesday by The Daily Tar Heel showed price increases since the last survey, conducted he first week of October. Three stations maintained prices on all types of gas. One held prices steady on some kinds of gas but lowered prices on others. Most service station personnel questioned said they expected price increases to continue, but most were not sure how much effect the present Iranian oil embargo would have on price and supply. The average price of self-service regular gasoline at the stations surveyed was 95.2 cents per gallon, up from the average price of 93.2 cents per gallon in last month's survey of the same stations. Self-service premium gasoline rose from an average of $1.03 per gallon to $1.07 per gallon. Full-service regular gasoline went from an average of 98.2 cents per gallon to $1.06 per gallon. Prices held steady at three of the 12 stations: Eastgate Exxon, McFarling's Exxon and Carolina Service Station in Carrboro, which is an Exxon affiliate. Some prices actually fell at one station. Eastgate Amoco had an aiross the board decrease in self-service prices, while full service prices stayed the same. Self-service regular gasoline fell 4 cents, and unleaded and premium gasolines each fell by 2 cents per gallon. "We weren't selling our allocation, so we had to drop prices," said Frank Holloway, assistant manager at Eastgate Amoco. Our allotment for next November is based on how much we sell this month. We're taking a loss so well have plenty of gas next year. If we sell too much we'll have to go back up (on prices), but I expect it's going to be like this for another month," he said. Holloway said the effects of the Iranian oil cutoff were not being felt, at least not yet "They don't look for it (gasoline) to be short through December. It won't affect us either until January." Ray Mills, of Eastgate Exxon, said, "Partner, I wish I had the answer to that question (whether the Iranian oil embargo will affect price and supply).
