Nassif received a letter last week from UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Ford ham III which outlined the University's conditions for closing the airport. The letter said that UNC and its trustees were willing to phase out all non-University use of Horace Williams if comparable facilities were constructed with proximity to Chapel Hill. The University said it was willing to close the airport entirely if the proposed airport included special facilities for UNC's air-medical program and other University aircraft. Fordham's letter made it clear the offer was being made for a restricted period of time. "The University administration and its Board of Trustees reserve the right to reconsider all these statements should an acceptable alternate airport facility not be a reality on or before July 1, 1939,' Fordham wrote. Residents living near the airport have become increasingly insistent the airport be closed because it is located in a heavily populated residential area. Mayor Nassif said he was pleased with the policy the University set forth. "The significance here is that the ad ministration and trustees have adopted this policy. We have never had that state ment made by both parties previously," Nassif said. The means by which a new airport would be funded have not yet been de termined, but Fordham made it clear, that UNC does not plan to contribute.,. .. our responsibility to provide or subsidize an alternative airport facility to the Horace Williams airport," the letter said. Fordham did, however, pledge University cooperation in the project otherwise. One of the main obstacles in planning an alternative airport is finding a suitable location. Nassif said there obviously were : no suitable locations within the city limits, so cooperation with the county commis sioners would be necessary. Another issue to be resolved concerns the zoning of the Horace Williams Airport, which is currently under consideration. The airport is currently zoned as a non- conforming use, which restricts any expansion. The University would prefer to have the airport rezoned as a limited aviation facility, "I would rather see the limited aviation zone adopted, even though I am optimistic about the possibility cf an alternative air port."

Carolina will face the winner of the N.C. State-Wake Forest game played late Wednesday in the fourth game of tournament play in Boshamer Stadium today. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The Tar Heels used seven hits the last six of them in a row to put across seven runs in the sixth and blow open had been a 1 -0 ball game. Carolina pitcher Mark Ochal 'yiildsd oiily'sevea Kits in going the distance for his 10th win of the year. y: - Maryland coach Jack Jackson was less than pleased after seeing his team fall and complained in a brusque statement to the press about the site of this year's event. "That's one hell of an advantage for a third-place team," Jackson said. His team, seeded third in the tournament, was the home team in the scorebooks, but Jackson said he thought the tournament should not be held at the home field of a second-division team. "We're happy to have the tournament here," UNC coach Mike Roberts said. "I don't feel it is a big advantage to have it here. Everybody has to play on the field." Carolina took the advantage in this game in the second inning when Jeff Hubbard scored on a sacrifice fly by Chris Pittaro. , The score stayed at 1-0 through five innings, as Ochal and Maryland starter Dave Castro waged a tough pitching battle. Excellent defense, especially a fine running catch by right-fielder Drex Roberts in the third, also helped keep the Tar Heels on top. Castro ran out of gas in the sixth, though, and UNC got to him hard. Roberts led off with a single to right and then stole second to begin the big rally. Student Spotlight T1 Marine 'Jl.orre ueac Dy LYNN PEITHMAN Staff Writer "It!s not easy," said graduate student Charlie Torre of handling three astronomy lab sections, working for his doc torate in physics and playing the bass guitar in a rock band. Torre is a first-year graduate student who, at 22, has an extremely full life. "I just never get a chance to sit down," he said. " But he doesn't seem to mind. An average day for Torre begins around 7:30 a.m. when he comes to campus. He stays until 5 p.m. and then usually prac tices with the band, the Gillcttcs, four or five nights a week. Around II p.m., he gets home and studies until 2 or 3 in the morning, he said. On weekends, he stays busy with the band. "It is tough." He is also married, but that hasn't slowed him down but instead helped a lot, he said. Torre and wife Lisa have been Tt 77 commodated so many celebrities throughout the years.

Milling said these were only a few of the celebrities from the hotel's daily growing list. In addition, many well knon politicians, such as Gov. Jim Hunt and Sen. Jesse Helms, have stayed at the inn.

Pittaro singled in one run; then Scott Bradley lined a single to center that scored two more. With the score 5-0, Castro then left the game and relief pitcher Mike Romanovsky came on. Joe Reto, who led the 15-hit Tar Heel attack with three extra base hits, greeted Romanovsky with a line-drive, three-run homer that caromed off the foul pol in right and went over the fence.

"At the beginning cf the game, I wasn't all that sharp,". Ochal said. "But I worked it out. The best pitch I had to day was the split-finger fork ball. I got a lot of ground balls off of that." Reto felt the key defensive plays early in the game might have been more of a factor than they may appear. "In 1-0 games, momentum can swing quickly," he said. "When Drex made the play, it kind of took some of the wind out of their sails." In the first two games of the day, Duke and Clemson won their way into the winner's bracket. Duke got a complete-game pitching performance from Todd Lamb and home runs from Bobby Erower and Buddy Copeland to beat Virginia 4-3. Clemson, the top-seeded team, was on the ropes against the eighth-seeded Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but pulled out a 7-6 victory in 10 innings. , Tech led 5-3 before Clemson tied it in the eighth and went up 6-5 with a run in the top of the tenth.

The exchange was one of 1 1 groups re considered for budget cuts during the Fi nance Committee's final review of organ izations. Recommendations will be voted on by the full council Saturday. Cuts were necessary for the committee to present a balanced budget to the CGC. "The Toronto Exchange is too much of a social expenditure for us to support," Speaker Pro Tern Mark Edwards said Saturday. The previously suggested allo cation was to indicate the committee's support to the organization, said Mike Vandenbergh, Finance Committee chair person. The statement issued by the committee said it felt the Toronto Exchange was pri marily a social organization that benefited a small group of students at the University and that cultural benefits were outweighed by the cost of the social programs. The committee, after completing its re view of the 34 organizations, found it had allocated $10,681 more than they had to distribute. . One of the organizations up for a se cond review was the Residence Hall Asso ciation. The committee decided to cut another 11 percent from RHA's budget, severely altering the original format of their proposed roommate handbook. The money requested for officers training re treats was cut by one-third, also. RHA's tentative allotment now stands at $6,1 15. e The Alchemist was re-budgeted for $1,733, a reduction of 43 percent of what it was originally allocated. , - DTHWSa Owens Williamson: fall distribution hows increasing balance' s Dy LYNN PEITHMAN Staff Writer "On the whole, there's a better balance than before,' Samuel R. Williamson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said of the Undergraduate Grade Distri bution Report issued April 10. In October 1978, a crackdown was an nounced on high grade point averages in the departments of American studies, comparative literature, dramatic art, music, physical education, political science, sociology, Spanish, speech communica tions and radio, television and motion pictures. The percentage of A and B grades in some of these departments rose in fall 1979 but returned to close to their fall 1930 percentages. In the Spanish department, the per centage of A's and B's in fall 1978 was 69.4. It went up to 74.7 percent in fall 1979 and to 77.4 percent for fall 1980. In the American studies department, the percentage increased from 82.5 percent in 1978 to 3.3 percent in 1979. The per centage was 84.2 in 1 9Z0. The percentage of A's and B in the comparative literature department was 63.7 percent in 1978, went up to 72.9 in 1979 and increased slightly to 73.1 in IT l Th3 Corclna Irn c? j?

The committee said the cut was made to encourage more fund-raising by the or ganizations. : The Phoenix, the newest organization requesting funding, was also rebudgeted. The committee decided to fund only 20 , issues, two fewer than previously planned. This change brings the tentative allocation down to $12,344, or 60 rerccnt of The Phoenix's original request. SCAU's financjal advisory booklet was . eliminated from the programs to be funded. V The committee said there were too many other sources from which the same information could be gathered to justify funding. This cut brought their new allo cations to $17,342, 60 percent of their requested funding. The committee voted to allocate $5,386, or 46 percent of the Association for Women Students' request. The t major cuts came in She magazine and speaker programs. In budget hearings held last week, the committee heard Ray Warren contest AWS's funding request. "Public finance should not be used to support ideologies or programs that are not in agreement to all minorities,' said Warren, listing ERA and abortion, as issues the organization took a strong stand on. "We do try to present a middle-of-the-road view," replied Beth Furr, assistant of She magazine and representative of AWS. The Carolina Symposium was cut another 8 percent when the committee voted to eliminate $2,400 from speakers fees and travel allocation, ...... 1980. In the music department, the per centage was 79.7 in 1978, 79.1 in 1979 and 82.7 in 1930. In the physical education department, including physical education activity courses, the percentage was 90.5 in 1978. In 1979, it increased to 92 percent, then to 92.9 in 1930. The dramatic art department had per centages in 19G0 similar to those of 1978. In 1978 there were 57.9 percent At and B's. In 1979, there were 71.3 percent, and in 1980 there were 58.7 percent. The political science department had 63.3 percent in 1978, 67.7 percent in 1979 and 63 percent in 1930. Another department in which the 15C0 percentage was similar to 1978 but not 1979 was the radio, television and motion pictures department. It showed 62.3 per cent A's and B' in 1978, 58.1 percent in 1979 and 63.8 percent in 19C0. . The vxiobjy department had 59.8 per cent A' and B's in 1973. In 1979, it had a percent, and in 19G0, 53.2 percent. The speech communication departrnent had 74.3 percent A' and B' in 1973, 76.9 percent In 1979 and 73.3 percent to 19C0. : "On the whole, no one depcrtnjent was singled out," Williamson sakl.
