The case was taken to an Orange County magistrate court and was not heard in the Student Honor Court. Officials said there is no single clear-cut reason why a case involving a student would bypass the honor court system, but some cases do. " Incidents of major violations, such as theft of University propertywould most likely . go downtown," said Frederic Schroeder Jr., dean of the University's Department of Student Life and its acting judicial programs officer. "It is some . what dependent on the perceived severity of the offense." He said, though, that whether a case ends up under University jurisdiction or state or federal jurisdiction could largely depend on to whom the crime is reported. If the person reporting the crime calls city police, the case would go directly downtown, Schroeder said. If it involves a student, it would probably be reported to campus police and from there to the student attroney general. Jurisdiction is obvious in some of fenses. Cheating is not a criminal offense, but is clearly a student offense. Armed robbery would go straight to a state court. "The fact that we are enrolled in a uni versity does not alter our responsibility to city, state and federal laws," Schroeder said. "It is a broadening funnel of juris diction we are all responsible to." Steve Bernholz, a private Chapel Hill attorney, agreed. "When someone commits a crime, it doesn't matter whether he or she is a stu-; dent or not," he said. "The decision to prosecute is up to the district attorney. If the person is a student, he may also be prosecuted in a student court. That deci sion is up to the student attorney general." Mark Carpenter, the student attorney general, said that he was usually not in volved in any decisions concerning whether to prosecute. "The person who sees the crime can call either the campus police or the city police," he said. "If it involves a student, the city police will probably send a report to the campus police. Once it is turned over to the University, I get involved." There is a gray area where jurisdiction falls under both the state or federal courts and the University. Such multiple jurisdiction occurs when a student is in volved with a criminal offense that also violates some item in the honor code or the campus code. Does double jurisdiction constitute double jeopardy? "The courts have held that a student in the honor court does not have the same constitutional right as a defendant in a state court, even though a public' univer sity is the state," said Dorothy Bernholz, director of Student Legal Services at UNC. "The student's personal liberty is not at stake" he wUl not be jailed if found guilty in the Honor Court. It is not double jeopardy, then, to be tried in both courts, because the student does not have the same constitutional rights in the Honor' Court as the defen dant in criminal court, and he does face the possibility of an active sentence.

Judging by the intensity and the sloppi ness of the game, both squads knew it. Perhaps the No. 8-ranked North Caro lina Tar Heels knew it better, as the un beaten No. 2-ranked Clemson Tigers won the game 10-8 and probably won the ACC title Saturday before a record Kenan Sta-" dium crowd. ' 'The game has always been in the back of our minds ... mine anyway," fullback Alan Burrus said. "It's especially been bad the past week." ' It was obvious from the beginning that the Tar Heels were excited not on the even keel that coach Dick Crum likes. "Emotion is going to play a part in a game like this," said defensive tackle Wil liam Fuller, who had two sacks and dumped Tiger backs for losses three times. "It was the biggest game in ACC his tory, and there was a large crowd and everything," Fuller said. "There has to be emotion in that situation." After the game, Clemson coach Danny Ford told his players in the locker , room that they were nervous at first but that they overcame it. "I think we had you a little bit too high," he said. "We played too tight emotionally," t Ford told the press. "It was a very tight 'Ball game and a very hard ball game. UNC played well because it was just as big a game for them as it was for us," he said. "We were all keyed up," Quarterback Scott Stankavage said. ""I was tense; everybody was tense. We made some er rors early. I made some errors." On UNC's first possession, Stankavage fumbled the snap from center Brian John ston, substituting for injured starter Steve McGrew. On the next play he stumbled and lost 4 yards. This set the tone for the afternoon. Even when Rod Elkins returned to his starting quarterback position and Kelvin Bryant played for the first time in a month, the Tar Heels could do little,' "It was an emotional lift when Kelvin came in," Burrus said. "But we knew Kel vin was somewhat limited in what he could do.". "I felt all right," Bryant said. "I had to get used to it again especially looking for holes. I think I could have played a little bit more. 'L just couldn't get outside because , they had so much pursuit." Elkins' first two passes were dropped by receivers, and Bryant ended the first half with only 13 yards in three attempts. Elkins did not finish the half, as he went down with the same ankle injury seven minutes to go in the half. "Elkins was hurt, and I don't think he was quite over his injury," Ford said. "Bryant ran well, but he looked like he lost some of his quickness he wasn't quite full speed. I think the injury stop ped him more than we did." r - ' n V' "j ' - 1! v. i fK i k f N.X V ( ft if v "s - y , ; - ) i J s V-;J I ? f JS I iiuiijJMMwuiMMMia,iiMuMMMwwoww i hi Mn wi riiiiiiiwiinwiTni'TniiiiiminiM w nmiiiim iiww ifiimirmitniinr n?1 iwit But Elkins did set up the first score of the day, as he passed 30 yards to Larry Griffin down to the 7-yard line. After a sack, the Tar Heels settled for a 22-yard field goal by Brooks Barwick to give UNC a 3-0 edge.: Clemson moved on its next possession 81 yards in 14 plays capped by a 7-yard touchdown run by fullback Jeff McCall. With the score 7-3 and time running out in the half, the Tar Heels moved a lit tle closer. Danny Barlow blocked a Clem son punt that rolled through the end zone for a two-point safety. After a Clemson field goal in the third quarter, UNC came back and put together its best drive of the day. Burrus ran two plays for 20 yards to put the Heels at the Tiger 25. Tailback Tyrone Anthony threw a New course designed to deal with pass to Griffin for 21 yards down to the 4. But again the Clemson defense stiffen ed, and Barwick came on to kick a 26-yard field goal to close the score to 10-8. ; . With 12:31 to go, North Carolma gbt the break it had been waiting for when Clemson's Billy Davis fumbled a Jeff Hayes punt and UNC's Dwight Parrish pounced on it at the Tiger 37. But the Tar Heels did not capitalize, and Hayes shanked a 16-yard punt to let Clemson out of trouble. With 6:36 left, UNC started a drive that moved to the Clemson 39. But the drive was stalled. On fourth and 12 with 3:30 left, Crum elected to go for it instead of trying a 58-yard field goal or punting. The fourth down pass fell incomplete. b lack white relations By KEN MINGIS DTH Staff Writer Students will have an opportunity next semester to take a course designed to deal with black-white rela tions, University Relations Committee Chairperson Teresa Artis said. "We want to help students look at race relations in a more realistic way, and look at the behavior of why people act as they do," she said. The new course will be taught one night a week in a dorm-like setting and will probably carry one hour's credit, she said.' Students will be graded on a passfail basis. Artis said She hoped the course, which has been set up by her committee and the College of Arts and Sciences; would be different from typical college courses. .- N "We want the students to learn more than just the facts and figures about race relations," she said. Students will be looking at black-white relations from many perspectives, including historical, psychological and sociological approaches. "We want to answer questions like 'Why don't more black students get into the Campus Y?' or 'Why don't more white students get into the Black Student Movement?' " Artis said. "We're hoping to get a professor who can analyze why the UNC Clef Hangers and the Black Student Movement Choir sing the way they do atnd how that reflects on the cultural differences," Artis said. The course will probably be divided into four parts and will be discussion-oriented, Artis said. "The first part would look at topics like stereotyp ing and prejudice," she said. "We want to show that it's very easy to hold onto stereotypes and be educat ed. That's very important at a university." Part two will deal with race relations in society as a . whole and at UNC, Artis said. The class will look at how students are stereotyped, both in their education and in society, she said. Artis said the media often contributed to the per ception of blacks held by the public. "TV may be the greatest breeder of stereotypes," Artis said. "We hope to get someone from the RTVMP (Radio, Television and Motion Picture) cur riculum or the Journalism School to come and talk about the portrayal of blacks in the media." The class will also trace the work of black authors and discuss their writings, Artis said. The final part of the course will deal with race rela tions as they relate to social life and to.administrative policy at UNC, Artis said. - "We're going to look at participation by students in campus organizations and then examine University policy and how it interacts with what the class has al ready studied. ; "Policies at Carolina are the result of many court cases, for example the Brown vs. Board of Education case, and the recent desegregation decisions," she said. "They have all had an effect on the University." Artis said she hoped the course would appeal' to everyday students. "I'm a little scared that it might end up with the same students who always participate in things. We want students who aren't as exposed to the different cultures." The course has been designed by working with College of Arts and Sciences Dean Samuel William son, with the chairman of the African and Afro American Studies curriculum, Colin Palmer, and by consulting various professors, Artis said. Course content aside, Student Body President Scott Norberg said he felt an important facet of the course was that it is being set up by students. "This is a course that has been put together by stu dents," he said. "The idea of student participation in the development of our own classes is an important precedent. "We're looking at ways to make this class an abso lute success," he said. "I'd like to see it develop into a three-hour capstone course. We're purposefully starting out on a small level to help it succeed." Artis said the primary reason the committee was doing this with only blacks and whites was not to ex clude other minorities. "This is just the ground floor. If it is successful, we definitely see growth, but it's important for this to succeed." J.B. Kelly speaks to Hunt panel By JONATHAN TALCOTT DTH Staff Writer WASHINGTON Former Student Body President J.B. Kelly, now a student at the UNC Law School, testifiH Friday before the Hunt Commission on the pre sidential nominating process in the Democratic Party, as one of four stu dents chosen to speak at the Eastern Regional Hearings. In his statements to the commission, which is directed by Gov. Jim Hunt, Kel ly asked questions about the ultimate goals of the commission and offered ad vice about student involvement in the Democratic Party. "Before we make any changes we should look at some basic policy ques tions," Kelly said. Kelly posed several questions: "Should the party serve as a training ground for campaign workers, experts and candidates? "Do we want the party more unified after the primaries and the convention?" On the subject of student involvement, Kelly said, "A student would probably be more inclined to vote with the party if so meone he or she could relate to was on the convention floor." Commenting later on his testimony, Kelly said: "They (the Commission) real ly were not focusing on basic policy is sues. They were focusing only on chang ing the procedure. Without focusing on policy, the changes that are made won't ultimately help out the party. "The other part of my testimony dealt with the student issue. They were talking about adding more elected of ficials to the convention and primary process, and my point was that they should not do that at the expense of younger people," he said. See KELLY on page 6 Trustees discuss rise in enrollment of women J J.B. Kelly Democrats review nominating procedures By JONATHAN TALCOTT DTH Staff Writer WASHINGTON The Hunt Commission of the Democratic National Party, directed by Gov. Jim Hunt, held the last of four regional hearings here Friday, addressing problems in the Demo cratic Party's presidential nominating procedures. "There are two main issues that the commission will have to face: one is the question of timing of the primaries, and the sec ond is the question of elected officials being involved in the con vention," said Gary Pearce, news secretary for Hunt. To address these two questions, the commission has drawn in put from all over the country and from every section of the Democratic Party. The other three hearings that have been held since the panel was formed in July were in Iowa, Tennessee and California. Speakers at Friday's hearing included Stuart Eizenstadt, former adviser to President Jimmy Carter, and Bella Abzug, former congresswoman from New York and president of Women, U.S.A. Hunt focused on the timing of primaries and involvement of elected officials. "(As far. as the timing issue is concerned), the big question is whether or not all primaries and caucuses should fall in a specific time period. In 1 980, all primaries and caucuses were held in a 90-day period from the first Tuesday in March to the first Tuesday in June. However, there were five exceptions allowed. There is a feeling now that perhaps no states should be allowed to be earlier," he said. V Hunt also spoke on guaranteeing elected officials a place at the convention. "It's not a question of doing a favor for the elected officials. Instead, the party might benefit from having a group of officials who are in touch with the voters being involved in the (nominating) process. See HUNT on .pag8 2 By LYNN EARLEY DTH Staff Writer George R. Ragsdale, chairman of the UNC-CH Board of TnisteesJVdmissions Committee, said Saturday that the high percentage of women in the 1981 fresh man class was not a result of discrimina tion by the Admissions Office. V ' 4 In my view; the admissions committee does not feel that the director of admis sions or his office is discriminating against the male," Ragsdale said at the committee meeting, adding that this assessment ap plied to, all groups. Richard G. Cashwell, director of un dergraduate admissions, presented figures that showed that the freshman class was about 61 percent women this year, an in crease of 3 percent over last year. More women than men "applied this year, he said. There were 6,555 women applicants and 5,119 men. Applicants are considered on an indi vidual basis, and attention is paid to pre vious records in addition to standardized tesi scores, he added. In related action, Cashwell presented plans for a 60 percent budget increase re quest for the Admissions Office. The re quest for about $300,000 would be added to the office's present $500,000 budget. He said he drew up the request because the Board of Trustees wanted him to ask for additional funds to provide more con sistent and personalized public relations. "It was a request to try to get know ledge about the process out to the public on a more routine basis," he said. "We will be able to communicate better with everybody so they can better understand what our processes are." , Cashwell said one use of the additional funds would be to disseminate more in formation about what priorities high thinking about attending the University. To ensure an in-state applicant's admis sion to the University, he must rank in the top 10 percent of his high school class and have a score of 1100 or above on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, he said.
