WASHINGTON (AP) President
Resan, declaring that the nation is suf
fering from its "worst economic mess
since the Great Depression," said Thurs
day niht government must cut taxes
and slash spending because the econo
mic judgment day is at hand.
"Over the years, we have let negative
economic forces run out of control,"
Reagan said in his first nationally broad
cast report to the nation. "We have
stalled the judgment, day. Ve no longer
have that luxury. Ve are out of time.
"A few days ago, I was presented with
a report I had asked for a comprehen
sive audit, if you will, of our economic
condition," Reagan said. "You won't
like it, I didn't like it, but we have to
face the truth and then go to work to
turn things around. And make no mis
take about it, we can turn them
around."
Reagan's address was studded with
statistics, but short of details about what
he proposes (o do now. He said those
would come when he sent an economic
legislative program to Congress on Feb.
18.
'It will propose budget cuts in vir
tually every department of
government," the president said. Those
cuts will be only part of the savings his
administration will attain, he said.
Reagan said his Cabinet would search
out "waste, extravagance and costly ad
ministrative overhead" to produce addi
tional reductions.
"At the same time we are doing this,
we must go forward with a tax relief
package," he said. "I shall ask for a 10
percent reduction, across-the-board, in

Although most spectators in front of the Pit appeared to be.
apathetic toward the campus candidates, contenders for student
body president and Daily Tar Heel editor were questioned ex
tensively during the debate Wednesday aftornoon sponsored
by the Carolina Union.
After reiterating their campaign platforms, the student body
presidential candidates were questioned concerning their posi-
tions on improving minority enrollment and campus relation
ships. Joe Buckner, Scott Norberg and Tim Smith all pledged".
Student Government's support to work with the Black Student .
Movement and the administration in recruiting minority stu
dents at the high school level. Mark Bozymski was hissed by
some students when he said that he perceived "no great hostility
between blacks and whites on this campus."
Buckner and Norberg listed the various programs and posi
tions that they'd held and worked with when asked about their
Student Government experience. Smith referred to himself as
an outsider to Student Government and said, "This allows me
to be more open-minded. 1 feel I'm not bogged down in the
current administrative process."
Bozymski said, "Experience is like an EPA estimate. It will
tell you the projected values from what the tests show, as far as
the future, you don't know."
On the subject of Chapel Thrill, Smith supported the use of
the surplus money in the Campus Governing Council while
Bozymski advocated early ticket sales. Buckner said he sup
ported raised ticket prices because, he said, the CGC money

Their voices are hoarse and their knuckles are sore.
They've said the same speech more times than they care to
remember and they've been embarrassed more than a few
times, but the candidates for campus offices keep knocking
on those doors trying to convince every voter to support their
candidacy.
In their attempts to woo voters, the candidates have been
propositioned, seen women half-nude, interrupted coupling
activities and become acquainted with students at Carolina.
When Daily Tar Heel editor candidate Jim Hummel was
contacting people as possible campaign staff members in
early December, his contact person greeted him at the door
of her room ha!f-nude.
"I was in a women's North Campus dorm end I was sup
posed to talk with this girl who had been recommended as a
contact," Hummel said. "I knocked on her door which
was already h-!f open and looked in to see her standing
there naked from the waist up." .
Hummel sold the girl screamed when she saw him and sev
eral girls ran up to see what was wrong.
"She said, 'Can I h:!p you?' and I told her I would just

he was in the telephone book.
"I mumt!:d something about that not being the reason I
was running for editor but then as I left I turned and said,
'You know how to dlI don't you?'."
Scctt Norberg, a candidate for student body president,
said he, too, had been a;ked, "Are you in the bock?" and
had walked in cn r:v:rd people who were getting dressed.

his speech. ,
Another candidate for CAA president, Chuck Gardiner, said
people's eyes would "glaze over" when he talked too long.
During their trips around Carolina's residence halls the
candidates' routine speeches and expected answers to ques
tions were sometimes broken up by unusual conversations
or events.

CAKiP LEJEUNE (AP) A five-man
military jury Thursday convicted Marine
Pfc. Robert Garwood of collaborating
with" the enemy despite defense pleas
that his 14 years as a prisoner of war
drove him insane and turned him into a
"white Vietnamese." The court-martial
was the first jury trial of a Vietnam-era
POVV.
The jury found 34-year-old Garwood
innocent on a charge of maltreating a
fellow POW, but convicted him on a
lesser charge of assaulting the POW. All
jurors are Vietnam veterans.
Garwood's lawyers never disputed the
collaboration charge. They argued the
Marine, who was a 19-year-old jeep
driver when he was captured near Da
Nang, was driven insane by his
communist captors. The military judge,
Col. Robert E. Switzer, told jurors they
would have to be convinced beyond a
reasonable doubt of Garwood's sanity
to convict him.
The verdict came during the jury's
second day of deliberations and after
they examined copies of testimony given
by some of the government's most
damaging witnesses.
Sentencing will be determined by the
same jury after more hearings. The
collaboration verdict carries a possible
maximum sentence of life in prison and
forfeiture of $147,000 in pay accrued
during Garwood's captivity. The assault
conviction carries a possible sentence of
(Mm.
six months in prison.
Garwood, an Indiana native who
returned voluntarily to the United States
in late 1979, stood in his Marine dress
greens and looked straight ahead as the
verdict was read, seemingly impassive as
he had been during the 12-week-long
trial. But as he sat down he seemed to be
blinking back tears.
His companion of 18 months. Donna
Long, a widow in whose house Garwood
resides, wept openly, but made no
comment.
The chief prosecutor said he. would
have no comment on the verdict.Juroros
also had no comment.
The defense team, headed by John C.
Lowe, appeared shocked as they left the
court with Garwood, and later Lowe
said Garwood "is disappointed, but
beyond that he has nothing to say, and
he is free to come and go." Garwood is a
mail clerk at Camp Lejeune.
Last year, Garwood told a reporter he
could take the worst that might happen
to him, saying, "An American prison is
better than a Vietnamese prison."
The tense scene in the courtroom was
a dramatic contrast to the hallway
outside the courtroom a few minutes
before, where counsel and reporters
joked about casting the "Robert
Garwood Story" for the movies. A few
minutes later, at 4:32 p.m., a Marine
guard ran from his post at the court
door to announce that a verdict was
coming.

The number of students buying academic-year bus passes drop
ped 47 percent last semester, after pass prices were raised from
$36 to $60, according to a report from the University Traffic
Office.
Even so, ridership increased 4 percent from July to December,
1980, Chapel Hill Transportation Director Bob Godding said.
Despite the increase in bus pass price and in ridership, God
ding said the town transportation department still ran at a
deficit because of high operating costs.
"1 think people were turned off (from buying) with the in
crease in (the cost of) bus passes," Carolyn Taylor of the
University Traffic Office said. She said about 1,230 parking
permits were sold last semester, with spaces leftover only in
"fringe" P and S lots.
David McCarn, transportation representative for UNC Stu
dent Government, said that since a $60 bus pass was not com
petitive with a $54 parking permit, there was more pressure on
the parking situation, which was already tightened by campus
construction projects. ,
cunts him pass sales
' The sale of bus passes dVerall dropped from about 4,400 in
fall 1979 to 3,200 last fall. Godding said ridership had Increased
because people used their passes more or paid cash fares instead
of driving.
Last year, the University paid $650,000 to the town for bus
service. Warren Collier, student representative on the Chapel
Hill Transportation Board, said the money comes from the
University's sale of parking permits and bus passes.
Rachel Windham, assistant to the vice chancellor for busi
ness and finance, said bus pass sales never reached $650,000,
so the additional money had to come from the traffic and
parking trust fund.
"We are limited' on how much we can discount prices because
the town limits the minimum resale price," Windham said.
Collier said he did not think bus pass prices should be tied to
'the town's set price. The University should be allowed to dis
count prices for students as much as possible, and revenue
from parking permits should support the main part of the
town's bus service subsidy, he said. , '
"Keeping the (bus) price low encourages people to use the
bus rather than drive," Collier said.

Just w hat do the campus police really do?
"Not a whole lot of anything," said
Rosemary Wagner, a sophomore jour
nalism major at the University. "I think
they just drive around."
Lisa Huntley, a sophomore business
major, said, "You see them riding
around all the time. The only thing I've
heard that they do is pick you up when
you're hurt."
According to Carol Woodell, a sopho
more health education major, "They
w ere really nice to me one time when my
crutches were stolen at drop-add. They
took me everywhere."
One student, a senior history major
who declined further identity, described
the University police as "bald, fiftybh,
and slightly overweight."
"They go around and check doors and .
windows, issue traffic citations, and take'
people to the infirmary when no one c!.e

Officer William Do w den, a University
policeman for 18 years, said ''Only
about 1 percent of the people on campus
realize all we do."
Theft is the most frequently investigated
crime on campus, according to Dunn.
"It happens because college students are
a trusting sort of people and they leave
themselves unprotected. Thefts of op
portunity occur w hen people leave doors
unlocked, rings beside sinks in restrooms
and pocketbooks unattended."
Besides dealing with the aftereffects of
a crime, the campus police work toward
prevention. There are about 30 mm on
the force but only five cars, and two of
get around this dilemma" by dividing
workdays into walking cr riding beats.
Officers ride two days a week and walk
the remainder, according to Bowden.
Riding officers arc responsible for an
swering calls, like requests to chauffeur
students who are unable to walk. They
ticket illegally parked cars, investigate
campus car accidents and make building
security checks.
The campus is divided into six areas
that are patrcbJ by walking officers.
