Although the run-off elections held
Wednesday were to determine who
would represent districts 17 and 19 on
the Campus Governing Council, neither
election produced any results.
In District 19, there will be another
run-off election because no candidate,
received more than 50 percent of the
vote. The candidates in the second run
off will be Steve Moazcd and E1U
"Newman, who received three votes each.
The other two candidates, Hush Drady
and Mike Williams, received two votes.
The District 17 election resulted in a
dispute over campus election laws..
Elections Board Chairman Gress James
said Wednesday the board would study
an election bylaw violation by candidate
Brian Goray. Goray received 22 votes
and Deborah Levine, his opponent,
received 17. Though Gcrsy won the
election, James said he violated the
election bylaws by failing to submit to
the Elections Board a record of election
finances. The bylaws state a candidate
must return a finance form to the board
by 5 p.m. on the day of the election.
"There is a possibility of
disqualification," James said. "It was
his responsibility to get the form in.'
James had earlier disqualified Goray
from the election but then decided he
might not be allowed to make the
disqualification.
"Due to the ambiguities of the
election laws regarding the povsf td,
disqualify, we decided to safe and
that we would have a meeting," James
said. "The laws could have been taken
either way."
James said he was disappointed with
the results of both elections.
VI really don't see how the run-off
election could have been prevented; it
was well publicized and the candidates
did more in this district (19) than the
other," James said. "As to the
stalemate, my feeling is that I did
everything to make sure the problem did
not happen."
A second run-off between Moazcd
and Newman for the District 19 seat .will
be held Wednesday.

The windows of several cars around town have been shot out with a BB
gun during the last two weeks, and police still do not know the identity
or motives of the culprits. So far only one incident has occurred on
campus. The windows in a car parked in the Planetarium lot were shot
out Tuesday night. Other incidents have occured on Pittsboro Street,
Manning Drive and Mason Farm Road. Chapel Hill police said there. had
been several such incidents.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Iranian jets raided the Iraqi
capital of Baghdad Wednesday, the United States offered help
to other Persian Gulf natiens and the Soviet Union told the
West to stay out of the Iran-Iraq war.
The Soviet Union and Syria signed a treaty in Moscow that
included military cooperation and Soviet President Leonid I.
Brezhnev made the Kremlin's, most authoritative declaration
on the war. He said the Soviet Union would not intervene in
the conflict and warned the West: "Hands off these events."
He spoke at a dinner for visiting President Hafez Assad of
Syria. ,
North Yemen was reported to have joined Jordan in support
of Iraq in the war, which threatens to involve more nations the
longer it lasts. The United States offered early-warning
information to Persian Gulf nations that feel threatened. The
Soviet-Syrian treaty was seen as an effort by both countries to
shore up their influence in the Middle East.
Israel said it could not remain "passive" in the face of
growing Jordanian involvement in the war and Saudi Arabia
was said to be increasing security measures at oil installations
in case the war spreads.
Crown Prince Sheik Saad al-Abdallah al-Sabah, prime
minister of Kuwait, called on Kuwait's warring neighbors to
stop the war and prevent foreign intervention. British Foreign
Secretary Lord Carrington told the House of Lords that "the
longer the situation continues the more dangerous the whole
area will become."
In Tehran, militants holding the 52 American hostages, in
their 340th day of captivity Wednesday, said the Americans
were "all right" and the Iranian Parliament was still studying
the hostage issue.
At least three Iranian jets apparently slipped through Iraqi
air defenses to raid Baghdad, and reporters saw flames leaping
from buildings on the outskirts of the city. The sky was lit by
anti-aircraft fire and surface-to-air missiles and flashes of
bomb explosions were seen.
Meanwhile, the Carter administration was going through
with plans to supply Jordan with 100 tanks with sophisticated
targeting equipment, despite an apparent setback in U.S.
efforts to encourage that country to maintain its neutrality in
the Iraq-Iran war.
State Department officials said delivery cf the tanks,
equipped with special thermal night-sighting devices, would
begin in July 1933 and be completed within four months.
The disclosure came as Jordan continued to move toward
closer identification with Iraq in the war now raging in the
Persian Gulf area.
Tuesday, State Department officials made an appeal to
Jordan to remain neutral, while stressing there was no
evidence Jordan was funncling arms to Iraq.
However, U.S. officials reported that a flotilla cf
merchant ships of East European, Indian and Lebanese
registry was being sent to the Jordanian southern port of
Aqaba, with food, cement, radio batteries and possibly
military gear.
Iraqi forces claimed to have stepped up air end artillery
attacks on the Iranian oil refinery city of Abadan and were
fighting to end resistance in the port of Khorramshahr to
complete their conquest of the Shatt al-Arab waterway. ' ,
Iraqi troops appeared to have maintained their grip on port
facilities and the portion of Khcrrarnshahr west of the Kamn
River. But reporters were not allowed near the front line
Wednesday. '
Iran launched air strikes against the Iraqi oil center of
Kirkuk, 200 miles north of Baghdad and the southeastern city
of Al Amarh, which controls supply lines to Iraq's invasion
force.
Iran claimed it downed three Iraqi jets, two near Dezful and
one near Ahwaz in the southern sector of the 300-mile
battlefront on the 17th day of the war. command
claimed it destroyed five Iraqi tanks in the Ahwaz area
Tuesday and in Wednesday action forced an Iraqi retreat.
Both sides made conflicting claims, and there was no
independent confirmation cf each side's battle reports or
claims of damage inflicted. .

The curriculum changes proposed in the recently released
College Curriculum Report were greeted Wednesday with
mildly positive reactions from the student body president and
faculty members.
The report, which was released Monday, would institute a
one-semester mathematics requirement for all students along
with the current two-semester foreign language requirement. It
is a revised form of the Thornton Report, which had a four
semester foreign language requirement and a two-semester
mathematics requirement.
If approved early next semester by the Faculty Council, the
report would be implemented in 1982 with changes in the
foreign language requirement scheduled for 1984 and 1986.
"The radically revised College Curriculum Report has been
toned down considerably, in my opinion," Student Body
President Bob Saunders said. "It's not the threat it once was."
However, English Professor Weldon Thornton, who was
chairman of the committee that wrote the original report, said
JL
he would have liked to have seen it stay closer to the original.
"We've had to make some alterations and compromises,"
he said. "Naturally I'm disappointed."
Thornton said he was pleased with the report in view of
financial restraints and in comparision with the current
curriculum.
"We wanted to set up a curriculum that was best for the
University and the students, without too much concern about
how these things would be implemented," he said.
Madeline Levine, chairman of the department of Slavic
languages, said, "It was a compromise. Given the restraints,
I'm quite satisfied. But in a theoretical universe, I would have
wanted more."
One of Student Government's complaints with the original
report was the University did not have the money to institute
the four-semester foreign language requirement, and Saunders '
said, "We were proven right."

Speaking to a capacity audience in Memorial Hall
Wednesday night, novelist and poet Rita Mae Brown
expressed her views on homosexuality and lesbianism
and explained her motives behind her best-silling novel
Rubyfruit Jungle.
Brown, a proponent of the rights of both women and
gays, stated her theory cf life early in her speech: "If
you can't raise consciousness, raise hell." -
She seemed to do exactly that with Rubyfruit Jungle.
Called by one magazine, "The single most incendiary
novel to have emerged from the women's movement,"
the book parallels the author's life cf crcwir.3 up in the
rural South.
Like her counterpart in the novel. Brown wen
athletic and academic awards in her Florida high school
but risked both when she defended her individuality
and beliefs.
"I want to dispel the myths about homosexuality,"
Drown said. "Psychologists never see a happy
homosexual or heterosexual. People who are happy
don't live on someone's couch. If they're happy, they
do it for free.
"Another myth is that til hcmc::xua!j are sex
maniacs. Unfortunately, 'this is not true. There are
many things that we do to each other that are cruel. In
the case of sexism, the ills that we do will never be
cured. We can't cure society's ills unless we hang out
the dirty sheets."
Brown said she was annoyed by the fact that so many
people asked her why she was gay.
"This is really an absurd question. It's like asking
someone why their eyes are brown. Ask my mother and
father this question. It's heterosexual people who breed
people like me.
"The real reason that I'm a lesbian is out of devotion
to Christian charity. All the women out there are
praying for men. I gave them my share (of men),"
Brown said.
"1 don't believe that I'm really heterosexu:J or
homosexual. There is a tremendous sex energy in all of
us. The life that society forces on us requires that we
cither shake hands or fuck. We're often ensnared by
not being clear about our emotions.
"I'm not a homosexual or a heterosexual. I'm me."
From her experience, Brown said that she responded
more to the emotions within people, and the emotions
most often associated with women were the ones that
particularly appealed to her.

"I was walking to class near the
side of the Union," senior Donna
Snead said, "And I heard this
rustling over in the grass. 1 started to
look and I saw a glimpse of a fleeing
gray figure. It was about 10 inches
long."
Kim Bruce, a freshman Winston
dorm resident, had a similar
experience. "It locked Lke it had come
from under a car," she said. "I was
grossed out."
Ar.d so did senior Connie Dunk ley,
secretary for the judicial branch cf
Student Goverr.rr.ent. "We looked
out the window, and there was this
