BOGOTA, Colombia (AP)
Guerrillas shot their way into the
Dominican Republic Embassy during a
reception Wednesday, seizing Diego C.
Asencio of the United States and at least
15 other ambassadors hostage. They
demanded $50 million, release of all
political prisoners and safe passage from
the country.
A spokesman for the attackers,
members of the leftists M-19
organization, conveyed the demands in a'
telephone interview with The Associated
Press.
At least five persons outside the em
bassy were reported wounded. A Bogota
radio broadcast said a Colombia n soldier
was killed.
Some of those who seized the embassy
shouted from windows that the diplomats
would be killed if the police tried to enter
the embassy, witnesses reported.
About 500 policemen surrounded the
embassy and brought an armored car into
the area. At one point a policeman could
be seen on the roof of the embassy.
Witnesses said about a dozen gunmen,
wearing orange and blue sweatshirts,
started shooting when a Mercedes Benz
limousine pulled up in front of the
embassy with one of the diplomats atten
ding the celebration of the Dominican
Republic's independence day.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Cindy Fox
confirmed that Ambassador Diego C.
Asencio, 48, was being held in the em
bassy. She said she had determined Asen
cio was not wounded, contrary to an
earlier radio report. Asencio has been
ambassador to Colombia since 1977.
A policeman outside the embassy, who
did not give his name, said Asencio's
bodyguard was wounded. A military
hospital said the bodyguard was being
treated there.
Spokesmen at the embassies of
Uruguay, Austria, Switzerland, Egypt,
Venezuela, the Vatican, Mexico and
Haiti confirmed by telephone that their
ambassadors were among the hostages.
" The "radio station sald others being held
hostage were the ambassadors of
Guatemala, Israel, Brazil, Costa Rica and
Nicaragua and a United Nations
representative, and that Paraguay's am
bassador was wounded. Those embassies
were either not answering their
telephones or spokesmen declined com
ment. There was no indication whether
others inside the embassy were wounded.
Witnesses said that the ambassadors of
Spain, Argentina and Peru had just
arrived when the shooting broke out and
had not yet entered the embassy. The
three ambassadors managed to escape
unhurt, the witnesses said.
Witnesses said the gunmen barged into
the embassy with guns blazing.

University no longer recognizes Zeta Psi fraternity
...because of, activities at Dec. 2 Christmas party
.Buis pae slated to
increase 64 percent
By I.YNN CASEY
Staff Writer
The relationship between the University and the Zeta Psi
fraternity was terminated Wednesday for at least three years as a
result of a Dec. 2 Christmas party incident.
Nineteen members of Duke University's Alpha Omicron Pi
sorority have charged that at a Zeta Psi Christmas party
fraternity bothers exposed themselves, threw drinks and pulled
at the sorority sisters' clothing. They als"o said feces were thrown
in one woman's lap and another woman was pushed down a
stairway.
In a press release. Vice Chancellor Donald A. Boulton
announced his decision of termination and recommended that
the national chapter of the Zeta Psi Fraternity close the UNC
Zeta Psi chapter for not less than three years beginning July I.
That dissolution includes the denial of University recognition of
Zeta Psi as an official student organization, the release said.
Boutlon said he made his decision of termination after careful
deliberation, but he' would not elaborate any further on his
announcement.
Susan Ehringhaus. assistant to the chancellor, said
' Wednesday that an organization which is not recognized by the
University is denied:
Access to counseling and advising services under the Office
of Student Affairs.
i dfoapter
Right to petition for student fees.
Use of University facilities as a group. For example, the
fraternity could not use a meeting room in the Carolina Union.
Right to represent itself as having any connection with the
University.
The U niversity. however, cannot close dou n the house since it
is the property of the national Zeta Psi fraternity.
It is conceivable that the national Zeta Psi fraternity officials,
who are headquartered in New York, could close down the
fraternity. No officials could be reached for comment.
The Zeta Psi fraternity brothers refused to comment
Wednesday on Boulton's decision, and would not allow a Daily
Tar Heel photographer to take pictures in the house.
Cathy Rauth. who is president of Alpha Omicron Pi at Duke
and who attended the Dec. 2 Christmas party, said she thought
Boulton's action was very positive. ,
"1 think it's a very strong action," Rauth said. "I'm pleased to
see they took it as seriously as we did."
Boulton said in his announcement that at the end of the three
year, period the fraternity could negotiate with UNC for re
colonization of a chapter if the fraternity so desired.
The lnterfraternity Council also has concluded an
investigation of the Zeta Psi Christmas party incident, said Lee
McAllister, executive assistant for the council.
Because the University has terminated its realtionship with the
Zeta Psi fraternity, the IFC no longer has jurisdiction to hold a
trial.

Food service changes
proposed by committee
By CINDY BOVVERS
Staff Writer
The Chapel H ill Transportation Board
voted Tuesday to recommend a five cent
increase in single ride bus fares but
delayed a decision on a proposed 64
percent increase in bus pass prices until
their meeting next week.
The board recommended raising
individual fares from 30 cents to 35 cents,
on regulafToutes, and from 1 5 to 20 cents
on campus routes.
The board's recommendations will be
sent to the Chapel Hill Town Council,
which must approve any rate increase.
The proposed increases would go into
effect July 1 and the council is expected to
vote on the increases in March.
But some board members balked at the
Transportation Department's suggestion
that 12-month bus passes prices be
increased from $48 to $79 and that 9
month passes go from $40 to $65.
"I'm for an increase but 1 think that's
too much to throw at people," said Sam
Mason, a board member. "This is too
much of a shocker you could lose some
of your traffic."
The price of student bus passes sold by
the University will not be determined
until the town's prices are decided on,
John Temple, vice chancellor for business
and finance, said Wednesday. "They set
their price, then we set ours," he said.
But student passes probably will cost
somewhat less than the price the Town
Council approves. Temple said.'
But he added, "1 would think that if
their price is $79. our price would be
somewhere near that."
JTpwD Council" member Bev Kawalec
said Wednesday she was not sure how she
would vote on the proposed 64 percent
increase if the Transportation Board
recommends it.
"It sounds like a lot," she said.
"Certainly it's desirable to keep those
passes as low as possible."
Transportation Board Chairman Terry
Lathrop said Wednesday the board might ff
be more likely to approve an increase to
$60 for the 12-month pass.
The board will meet next Tuesday to
consider alternative rate increase
proposals and vote on the bus pass prices.
Next week the board also will make
recommendations to the Town Council
to fill a vacant seat on the board.
UNC student Warren Collier and
former Town Council member Gerry
Cohen have applied for the open seat that
I ?
if '
M.
A,
John Temple
was' vacated by UNC student Marcie
Dean.
Transportation Board member Bruce
Tindall said unless there are other
applications for the seat, the board
probably will recommend both Collier
and Cohen to the Town Council. The
Council will make the final decision.
Collier was recommended for the seat
by UNC Student Body President-elect
Bob Saunders, who said he believed that
student representation on the board is
necessary.

The Chancellor's Food Service
Advisory Committee voted Wednesday
to recommend that proposals be accepted
from several food service contractors for
University food service next year.
Members said they hoped that a new food
service could be in operation by May 19,
the first day of summer school.
The recommendation was made by a
subcommittee formed last August to
examine the food services of other
universities and make long-range plans
for UNC food service. The subcommittee
found that in general, food service at
UNC is inadequate and too expensive.
The committee's recommendation will
be submitted to . Vice Chancellor of
Business and Finance John Temple for
approval. Student Body Preisdent-elect
Bob Saunders said Temple usually
approved the advisory committee's
recommendations.
If proper negotiations cannot be
achieved in order for a new food service
company to go into operation, the
subcommittee recommended that
Servomation's contract be renewed for
one year and that Servomation be
expected to offer less expensive meal
plans and advertise to increase its
business.
The advisory committee postponed
until its next meeting discussion on the
subcommittee's two other
recommendations concerning upgrading
exisiting food serv ice facilities on campus
and implementing mandatory meal
plans.
More specificially, the subcommittee
recommended that Lenoir Hair be
renovated in its entirety for use as a food
service facility on campus. According to
that recommendation, what is now the
Pine Room would provide all North
Campus fast-food service. The other
floors of Lenoir Hall will provide dining
and catering services for other meals. The
subcommittee also recommended that a
larger portion of Chase Hall be used as
dining space and that facilities in Chase
be modified to provide South Campus
residents with weekend food service. It
now closes on weekends.
Another recommendation the
committee made was that a mandatory
meal plan for freshmen in University
housing be implemented in 1984 when
dining area renovations, if approved, arc
expected to be completed. Mandatory
meal plans were suggested to offset the
cost of food service renovations, said
Charles Antle. assistant vice chancellor of
business and subcommittee member.

The sounds of rock music and a huge stage at
courtside greeted the North Carolina basketball
team as it warmed up for practice Wednesday
afternoon in Carmichael Auditorium.
It was really a different sight watching the
second best team in the Atlantic Coast Conference
and one of the 10 best in the country dribble, fake and
shoot as the roadies for Nantucket and Molly
Hatchet readied the $ts for the Wednesday night
concert.
Who knows when you'll see that scene again?
But then who needs rocking roundball when you
have the ACC tournament, those three days each
winter when everyone from College Park Md., to
Clemson, S.C.,will admit that, yes, ACC basketball
is more important than how much gasoline costs in
the United States.
It is time when basketball fans become honest and
admit they are indeed fanatics.
Most important, it's a time when past
performances can be forgotten. That dreadful cliche
which says something about getting rid of the record
book is on target for the ACC tournament.
We have to look out for everybody here,"
Carolina's Mike O'Koren said Wednesday as he
reflected on the tournament. "Everything goes here."
Not quite, but almost: Wake Forest coach Carl
Tacy will have his 13-13 Deacons primed for today's
1 p.m. game at the Greensboro Coliseum with the
Tar Heels. The Deacons might show some new
strategies; for sure they'll show intensity.
"We've got to go out and play like it was for the
national championship," UNC forward Al Wood
said. "We hope everybody can keep an emotional
high. If we can do that, we'll be all right."
Carolina comes into the tournament 20-6 overall
and with two wins this season over the Deacons, a 72
68 in Chapel Hill and 73-61 in Winston-Salem. The
last time Wake defeated UNC in the tournament was
two years ago in the semi-finals.

You may skip classes Friday, but UNC
professors will lecture to empty rooms if they
must, several professors said in an informal
survey last week.
Although Spring Break does not officially
begin until 5 p.m. Friday, many students have
made preparations to extend their vacations by
skipping Thursday and Friday classes.
My job is predicated on my showing up, not
the students showing up," said Fred Lee,
political science professor. "I'd lecture to myself
and it wouldn't bother me. My responsibilities
are to show up and be prepared to lecture on the
assigned days."
Like many of his associates, Lee believes that
there are too few class periods as it is and much
class material goes uncovered. Four professors
interviewed plan to cover more material than
usual on Friday to put class-cutters at a
disadvantage.
"1 think students should feel cheated if class is
canceled." English professor Christopher
Armitage said. "I wouldn't dream of canceling
my classes on Friday. You have few enough
class periods already, providing you have a
substantial amount of information to cover."
Mathematics Professor William Mann
explained that once a professor canceled on
Friday, it would be easy to cancel a day earlier,
since Thursday would be the last day of the
week.
"Those professors should be shot," he added.
"The professors are paid to teach as scheduled.
If the consumers (students) do not want to take
advantage of the product, then that's another
story. If I'm scheduled to teach, then I will be
here."
A few language clases have been rescheduled.
"Technically, rescheduling is against
regulations." one language department
spokesman said. "But it is ultimately up to the
discretion of the instructor. It's better than
canceling. 1 guess."
"Informal rearrangement of classes I'm
against that," UNC Provost Charles Morrow
said. "There is at least one student who gets
hurt. It's grossly unfair to these students to have
classes rescheduled. But that won't keep it from
happening.
"To have a decent class schedule, you have to
have Friday classes," he said. "I think that the
large majority of faculty members arc extremely
conscientious they meet as scheduled and
complete the work planned. Word get around
if someone doesn't and the situation is
corrected.
Only one of the doen professors interviewed
admitted that he did not plan to hold Friday
classes.
"I know none of the kids will show anyway.
Besides, it's not like I don't get spring fever, too.
Don't use my name, but I'm just like a kid when
the weather warms up.

Al Wood outjumps Duke's Gmlnski
...in Saturday's 95-71 win
said, "we've split 12 games with Wake. They seem to
play their best against us."
The Deacons were led in the regular season by
forward Alvis Rogers, who averaged 15.5 points a
game. He's joined on the front line by Guy Morgan
and center Jim Johnstone. In the backcourt,
sophomore Mike Helms and senior Benny McKaig
get the most playing time.
After Carolina meets Wake at I p.m.. top-seeded
Maryland meets Georgia Tech at 3 p.m. In the
evening session. State faces Duke at 7 p.m. and
Clemson plays Virginia at 9 p.m. All tournament
games will be televised on Channel 5.
The winner of the Carolina-Wake game will play
the State-Duke victor in Friday's 9 p.m. semi-final
game, with the winners of the other two games
playing at 7 p.m. Friday.
Even though the NCAA probably will select three
or more ACC teams for its post-season playoffs, the
ACC tournament remains the climax of the
-conference season.
"Whoever you play now, this is it," Heel center Jeff
Wolf said. "This is it -show time."
Center gives pre-break tan
By DEBORAH BAKER
Suff Writer
Let's face it a suntan is a status symbol on this
campus in early March, and some students will do
anything to get that bronze color before they hit the
Florida beaches. .
Tanning centers, the latest American fad, have
come to Chapel Hill and business is booming as
break nears.
Tanning booths and instant tans have proved so
popular that Carolina Cabana Tanning Center in
University Square opened earlierthanplanned.even
though the business is in the process of remodeling.
"We arc using the tanning booths now because so
many people are in a hurry to get started on their
tans with spring break coming up," owner Alice
Stone said.
The tanning center has been open for two weeks, a
grand opening being planned for mid-March when
the remodeling is complete.
Carolina Cabana Tanning Center has two
tanning booth areas about three feet wide with
mirror-like walls and ultraviolet lights in each
corner. Customers may tan in bathing suits or
nothing at all. Goggles arc worn to protect the eyes
from the ultraviolet rays.
Stone said the center offers 1 5 tanning treatments
for $35 or individual treatments for S3 each. The
amount of time a customer spends in the tanning
booth is determined by his or her skin type, she said.
"If you are real fair, you would probably start out
by spending 30 seconds in the booth," Stone said.
"You might turn a little pink, but it is gone the next
day. It is amazing what 30 seconds can do."
The average'time spent in the tanning booth is one
to two minutes. Exposure time is increased Mih
each visit. Stcne said it sometimes takes longer to
dress and undiess than to get a tan.
She had no idea how many people have used the
center in the last two weeks, but said that men are
showing more interest than women.
Tanning centers have appeared across the nation
since the first one opened in Searcy. Ark., in August
,1978. There are no more than 1. 000 center in the
United States. The growing number of tanning
centers has caused nationwide concern among
dermatologists and the V, S Food and Drug
Administration.
