East
By DAVID TEAGUE
Staff Writer
The country's leadership must be changed if Americans hope
to see the nation move in a new direction, U. S. Senatorial
candidate John East told a meeting of the North Carolina
Federation of College Republicans Saturday.
''One advantage 1 have over (his opponent U. S. Sen.) Robert
Morgan is that 1 don't have to run on his record," he said.
Throughout his address, the Republican candidate blasted
Morgan and President Jimmy Carter's Administration, blaming
both for ineffectual leadership, and the president for bad foreign
policy and poor economic decisions.
"Morgan has been indecisive and ineffectual," said East, a
political science professor at East Carolina University. "He has a
weak record on spending and energy.
"Morgan has supported the Carter administration on every
proposal, from the study of synthetic fuels to the formation of the
Department of Energy. We need to remain focused on the use of
oil for fuel, in addition to nuclear power and coal."
He then shifted his attack to the Carter administration, saying
that in every area of military preparedness, the United States is
weaker than the Soviet Union.
"The principal problem is that the strategic capabilities of the
military have been deleted. We have allowed ourselves to come
into an area of inferiority. We needed the B-l bomber and
neutron bomb to aid us strategically."
In a press conference following his address, East said he was
not opposed to the draft if it was needed, but also said there
should be a demonstrated need, based on information from the
Pentagon.
"Carter pardoned draft evaders and now he wants to reinstate
the draft. I think he's going to have a political problem. He
should admit he made an error and correct it."
East said Carter handled the Iranian situation incorrectly from
the start. "I suppose the president waffled. He should have taken
a firm stand and found out what the Pentagon thought about
military aid in Iran."
He also said excessive government regulation and spending,
coupled with a lack of direction have sent the inflation rate from
5 percent four years ago to nearly 20 percent this year.
"We have allowed our government to deface the economy," he
said. "It's almost to the point where the Confederate dollar is
worth more than the American dollar." East also criticized
Morgan for his inability to handle government attacks on the
tobacco industry and the state's university system.
The senatorial candidate said he was running because he
believed 1980 would be a critical year and he considered it
extremely important to be involved in the country's decision
making process.
East, a victim of polio, said he did not feel his confinement to a
wheelchair would hurt his candidacy. "Everything I've
accomplished I've done since my confinement. 1 completed my
education, got married and became a father.
"I have a tremendous confidence and hope about the future of
this country. There isn't a thing I've mentioned that can't be
changed if we change the leadership of the United States."

Imagine if you will:
You have just been given $250,000 to distribute
among 35 student organizations w hich vary in. size
but which all depend on your funding.
Unfortunately, their funding requests total twice the
amount you have been allocated to spend. You must
decide w here requests can be cut.
The preceding problem is not a theoretical one out
of a money management class. It is a real problem
which the Campus Governing Council must deal
with during the next few weeks as it appropriates
student activities fees to student organizations.
Beginning tonight, the Student Affairs Committee
and the Rules and Judiciary Committee of the CGC
will hold their budget hearings.
These committees will question each student
organization which requests funding about its
services, programs, publications and events. The
Rules and Judiciary Committee will decide, the
eligibility of an organization to receive student
funding.
In order for an organization to receive student
funding, it must be recognized by the University and
must submit a copy of itsconstitution and by-laws to
the Rules and Judiciary Committee.
After an organization, has been approved by the
Rules and Judiciary Committee, the Student Affairs
Committee does a qualitative analysis of the
organization's programs.
Monday through Wednesday of this week these
two committees win meet with members of 35
student organizations and ask them questions about
programs. Each group is allotted 20 minutes for
questioning.
After questioning the organizations, the Student
Affairs Committee w ill meet April 8-1 0 to discuss the
worth of services, publicat ions, events and programs
of an organization. Although these meetings are
open, the Committee w ill not recognize members of
organizations. The purpose of the meetings are to
make recommendations to present to the Finance
Committee of the CGC.
The Finance Committee will meet April 13-18 to
determine the allocation of student activities fees
based on the recommendations of Student Affairs.
It is during these hearings that the actual request
cutting is done.
The Finance Committee meets with each
organization individually and decides where cuts can
be made. For example, the committee may decide
that an organization's request of $200 for postage is
too much and that it must be cut.
After the budget is finished by the Finance
Committee, it will be presented to the full council on
April 23. Each organization's appropriation will be

SHS offers sickle ce
11 test
By ROCHELLE RILEY
Staff Writer
One out of every 12 blacks in the United States has
the sickle-cell anemia trait, an inherited tendency to
produce children with sickle-cell anemia.
As a part of a statewide plan to initiate a sickle-cell
anemia trait identification program, the UNC
Student Health Services has begun offering free
testing and screening to all students and faculty 8
a.m.-ll a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays in the
infirmary laboratory.
Only a few people have been tested at the SHS so
far, but the testing will continue as tongas people
request it, Johnsie Robinson, education consultant
and counselor for the N. C. Division of Health
Services said last week.
"We make sure that people are aware of
counseling, even though the testing is totally
voluntary," Robinson said. "The health department
can request a patient to have the test but the patient
can refuse the test and any information on sickle-cell
anemia."
The N. C. Division of Health Services, which
developed the statewide plan provides:
screening and testing at local health departments
to determine if a patient has the sickle-cell trait.
counselors and education consultants that
provide information about sickle-cell anemia and
what a person should do if he has it.
financial aid for families with a sickle-cell
anemia trait carrier in their family.
"Health departments are our largest testing
groups, but there are private physicians, hospitals
and. others (including university infirmaries) who
provide testing," Robinson said.
Sickle-cell anemia is a blood disorder that occurs

Handicapped.
Daily living means fighting obstacles
i t

First of two parts
There is a small minority on campus that
has very special needs. For students in this
minority, simple tasks like getting to
classrooms, finding books in the library and
getting accessible parking spaces can present
obstacles to their education, unless the
University can tear them down.
The minority is handicapped students.
Laura Drumheller, UNC coordinator for
handicapped student services, is one person
helping to tear down the barriers for these
students. She defines a "handicapped" person
as anyone who identifies himself to her as
being handicapped. Right now, there are
about 65 self-identified handicapped students.
Others may be disabled, but don't work
through her office, she said recently.
Federal laws regarding disabled students
require that not all buildings but all programs
be accessible to all students. An academic
program may be housed in an inaccessible
building, Drumheller said, as long as classes
can be moved to accessible buildings and
professors can meet with disabled students
outside the building.
To ensure that disabled students can get
classes in accessible buildings, Drumheller
personally hand picks their schedules. "If a
student wants to take a class that is in an
inaccessible building, we try to move him to
another section. If we can't do that, we move
the class to an accessible building." she said.
Another factor she must consider in
arranging schedules is time and distance
between classes. "If you're on crutches and
can't walk fast, accessible buildings don't help
much," she said.
Blind students come to campus early in the
summer to preregister and work with a
mobility instructor to learn how to get to
classes, dorms and anywhere else they may
want to go, Drumheller said. The mobility'
instructor also spends time on campus with
them at the first of the semester.
Drumheller said that since 1973 there has
been a greater push toward making the
University accessible. Barrier removal
renovation is determined by a priority listing,
which is periodically reviewed to make sure
that the most immediate renovation needs are
taken care of first, she said. "We are flexible.
We make accessible what needs to be.
Sometimes we need to make modifications for
a particular student coming into a problem."
Because there is not enough funding to
make the University completely accessible,
priorities must be established to correct the
worst situations first, said Tom Shumate, a
consulting architect for the University
planning office. Shumate's job is to design
building modifications and follow through the
construction with the physical plant.
Money for architectural barrier removal is
appropriated by the North Carolina General
Assembly based on a funding request and
budget submitted by the UNC planning office.
More than $300,000 has been spent on such
renovations since 1974, Shumate said.
Money appropriated for architectural
barrier removal must also be used to make
modifications to meet Occupational Safety
and Health Administration requirements.
Shumate said it would be preferable to
separate the two rather than having two
concerns for one source of money.
Drumheller agreed that barrier removal
should have its own category in funding.
"We have an older campus and the cost to
modify all buildings is greater," Shumate said.
"A newer campus is built to meet the
requirements for accessibility." All UNC
buildings under design now will be accessible
for the handicapped he said.

Campus access improving
The 16-campus UNC system is ahead of
other systems in making its campuses
accessible to handicapped students, said Paul
Marion, assistant vice president for student
services in General Administration.
"Our system geared up when the federal
regulations came in," he says. "I get the
impression we have a jump on the others."
Each campus has met three requirements in
compliance with section 504 of the 1974
Rehabilitation Act, Marion said.
Each campus has a person available to
students to help with accessibility problems.
Vice Chancellor Douglass Hunt serves this
function in Chapel Hill. Many campuses have
hired someone like Laura Drumheller,
coordinator for handicapped student services,
to help the 504 compliance person, but smaller
campuses cannot afford this, he said.
Each campus also has done a self-study to
determine w hat barriers it has that would be a
problem for handicapped students, and each
has a transition plan not only for overcoming
physical barriers to handicapped students, but
for changing policy barriers as well.
UNC receives a two-year state budget for
barrier removal and Occupational Safety and
Health Administration renovations. The
amount of money received for 1979-1980 was
$888,000.
Marion said that combining funds for
barrier removal and OSHA renovations is a
more efficient use of funds because one
contractor can be hired to complete all
renovations. "In the future we may separate
the two. but up to now, it is more efficcnt to
combine the two," he said.
UNC's goal is for total accessibility to all
programs, not necessarily all buildings.
Marion said. "We have done a lot of positive
things," he said. "We look at this as an
opportunity, not a requirement. We perceive
this as a chance to involve a large portion of
citizens in higher education who are not
involved now."

You don't need a doctorate
degree in psychology to become
a Helpline volunteer.
"All you need to be is
somewhat sensitive,
compassionate, concerned and
basically understanding of
where other people arc.
Helpline Director Tim Williams
said in a recent interview.
In fact, the only requirement
for becoming a volunteer is that
you be at least 18.
Helpline, started six months
ago at the Orange-Pcrson-Chatham

provides 24-hour telephone counvelmg and helps
people obtain emergency mental health service.
Furthermore, it channels calls to other community
agencies, including Parents Anonvmous. the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro Rape Crisis Center and the Women's
Health Counseling Service.
Although about half of the 80 Helpline uorker
are students, the rapid turnover of oluntcers is o!fct
by the benefits of an increased number of people who
are aware of the various community services.
Williams said.
Helpline has its own training program which
involves about 22 hours spread over a week.
