Editor's note: This is the first of a four-part series
examining fees that University students are re
quired to pay each semester. Part one deals with
the Student Athletic Fee; subsequent articles will
look at the Intramural Recreational Fee, the Stu
dent Health Services Fee and the Student Activities
Fee.
Officials in the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of
Athletics have said they would decide this week
whether to go through with a request to the Uni
versity's Board of Trustees to increase Student
Athletic Fees by $10 in time for the 1982-1983
academic year.
If the request is made by the department and
granted by the board during its Dec. 11 meeting,
the additional revenue will go toward rnaintaining
the athletic program at current levels, said Director
of Athletics John D. Swofford last week.
Inflation and the rapid development of inter
collegiate women's sports at UNC has spurred ex
ploration of a possible increase, Swofford said.
"Inflation has had a tremendous impact on in
tercollegiate programs, just as it has on household
budgets and businesses of all kinds," he said. "In
tercollegiate athletics arc not immune to inflation
because you're talking about such things as travel.
The costs have gone up drastically for equipment
you can go righon down the line."
Opposition to a possible increase has come from
Student Body President Scott Norberg, who says
the increase would put an additional burden on an
already strained student aid fund.
"If a student wants to come here and can't af
ford it, you have to have financial aid, he said
last week. "The real point is the lugher the fees are
the higher the cost financkJ aid has to cover.".
Because funding froni tv . federal government is
not expected to be as high as it once was, an in
crease at this point would be hard to support,
Norberg said.
"It's these kinds of changing conditions that we
have to consider," he said. "At the level of $10, 1
don't see how I could support it. I have a lot of
problems with it."
Consideration of the $10 increase per semester is
the second phase of a two-part atheltic fee in
crease. The Board of Trustees approved a $15 in
crease in time for the 1981-1982 academic year,
pushing the per semester cost to $50. It was the
first Student Athletic Fee increase in five years.
The board generally considers requests on a
year-to-year basis, thus making the two-phase
program necessary.
As a result of the increase, students now provide
about $1.1 million 16 percent of the athletic
department's $6.7 million annual budget.
The UNC athletic department has two budgets
one for operations and the other for scholar
ships. Student fees are used exclusively for opera
tion expenses, Swofford said.
"The grant-in-aid program is paid from private
contributions to the Educational Foundation," he
said. "Student fee money doesn't go to scholar
ships at all." 1
Thus, any student fee increase would go toward
maintaining UNC's 26-sport intercollegiate athletic
program one of the largest of its kind in the
country, Swofford said. Currently, the University's
athletic fee is "average to slightly below average"
compared to other Atlantic Coast Conference in
stitutions and schools with similar athletic pro
grams, he said;
"We want to keep the fee as low as we can,"
Swofford said. "We're not at all interested in mak
ing money per se off of the student athletic fee. I
think that's inappropriate.
"I would like for the fee to remain relatively low .
in comparison to other institutions," he added. '-l
think that's positive."
The athletic fee allows students free admission
to all events of non-revenue sports sports that
cannot support themselves financially - at UNC,
plus the right to get free tickets to football and
men's basketball games. The fee also allows stu
dents to play at Finley Golf Course for reduced
rates.
The size of the University's program, and its
status as a self-supporting unit, makes it difficult
to finance.
"We like to think it's one of the better athletic
programs, not only in terms of winning and losing
games but in terms of operating within the appro
priate university framework and hopefully being
somewhat positive that the University can point to
and be proud of," Swofford said.
"It costs a lot of money to have the type of pro
gram that we have," he said. "We're required to
be financially self-sustaining."
The growth of non-revenue sports has put an
added burden oh the athletic department, he said.
For example, in 1974 the department spent about
$24,000 on women's sports. Now, the cost of those
sports is approaching $1 million, Swofford said.
"We've increased our program tremendously as
far as the number of sports and yet those sports are
unable to generate any revenue to pay for them
selves," he said. "I think it's the right and appro
priate thing to do at this University, but it has put
quite a financial strain on our athletic program.
"The fee increase that may be requested would
go toward maintaining the program we now have
maintaining the quality that we have as well as
the quantity, the number of sports that we have,"
he added.
Norberg said he supported the recent addition
of non-revenue sports - especially women's
sports.
"I think they're very, very important," he said.
"That's one of the most positive directions the
program has taken." .
He objected, however, to what he saw as a readi
ness to turn to students whenever additional reve
nue was needed.
. "The athletic program is so good as it is and stu
dent fees are such a small part that an additional
$100,000 a year wouldn't mean much," he said.
"There are a number of students who don't have
the time to stand in line to get basketball or foot
ball tickets. I see very strong resistance to paying
any increase."
The Student Athletic Fee is not the only source
of revenue for the athletic department. Profits
from football and men's basketball the only
self-sustaining sports in the program plus gate
receipts, radio and television contracts, concession
and program sales and guarantees for playing at
other schools are some of the other sources of
revenue.

.First eam win
UNC's starting five essential in wiri
over Kansas, 74-67, in Charlotte
By KIM ADAMS
DTH Staff Writer
Sometimes quality is a lot more impor
tant than quantity, but North Carolina's
starting five had a lot of both in Saturday's
74-67 basketball win over Kansas at the
Charlotte Coliseum.
James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Matt Do
herty, Jimmy Black and freshman Michael
Jordan logged 88 percent of UNC's play
ing time and scored all but two of the
team's points.
. Worthy had 23 of those points and added
nine rebounds. He was UNCs high scorer,
but he said his teammates were not looking
to get the ball specifically to him.
"It wasn't a case of going to me when
we needed a basket," he said. "We were
just looking for the man in middle. We like
to get the ball inside, but we also knew our
outside shots would loosen up their zone
and they did."
"I'm very happy with our first game,
UNC coach Dean Smith said. "We played
well offensively. Kansas was willing to give
us the 15-footer, but our players showed a
lot of patience in attacking the zone. I liked
our zone attack."
Jimmy Black had his share of those out
side shots. One of them capped a rally that
put the Heels ahead to stay, at 50-47, with
just under 15 minutes left in the game.
After a 37-37 halftime score, the Jay
hawks had come out to take a 47-43 lead
before Perkins, who had 16 .points and
nine rebounds, got a basket on a goal
tending foul to begin the Tar Heels rally.
Matt Doherty then made a three-point
play and Kansas coach Ted Owens had to
send in his first sub, Mark Summers, when
Kellv Knight was called for his fourth foul.
Knight later fouled out with 13:15 to go.
Summers promptly turned the ball over
and Black shot his 15-footer. Black, who
ran UNC's offense, had nine points and a
game-high seven assists. In a well-rounded
performance, Doherty added 12 points, six
rebounds, four assists and made no turnovers.
Coach Dean Smith said that it was obvi
ous the Tar Heels needed Doherty in the
game. He also praised his other starters.
"Perkins was outstanding for us," he said.
"Worthy did a good job on the boards
and on the break. Black was superb run
ning the attack and Michael Jordan played
relaxed for his first game."
All of the Carolina players said they
were pleased with Jordan's first college
game. Jordan said that he was nervous at
first but soon got over the jitters, especially
after a fast-break pass from Worthy gave
him an easy lay-up late in the first half.
".That pass from James Worthy inspired
wtmei Jordan said. "I don't think Kansas ,,
respected my shooting ability. They
thought I couldn't shoot."
Since Carolinas starters played so
much, Smith didn't have a lot of chances
to test UNCs depth, although Carolina
subs got more playing time than the Kansas
reserves. When Chris Brust, Jeb Barlow
and Jim Braddock did come in, the regulars
said they had confidence in them.
"I know the guys coming in can do the
job," Doherty said. "I'm not worried
about coming out of the game when I get
tired."
"The subs didn't get much of a chance
to prove themselves, but everyone will get
a chance to play," Perkins said. "I feel
confident in anyone that comes in, but I
just didn't feel too tired today."
The Tar Heels needed all the effort they
could get. Kansas came out inspired to
upset the nation's No. 1 ranked team, and
the Jayhawks gave UNC a taste of what
this season will be like for the team that is
everyone's favorite enemy. Dave Magley
shot 12 of 17 from all over the court for a
career-high 24 points and Tony Guy added
18 for the Jayhawks.
Kansas' Owens said that he was pleased
with his team's effort, especially since he
has a lot of young players. "It seemed to
me the small edge Carolina had was at the
free throw line," he said. "This was a
game we can grow on, it's way early to
judge who's number one. North Carolina

UNC's Matt Doherty goes upfor the ball
... against Kansas' Brian Martin (45) Saturday
is going to be a great club."
UNC did have the big free-throw advan
tage, shooting 72.7 percent on 16-of-22.
Kansas made only half, on 7-of-14. The
Tar Heels shot 56.8 percent from the floor
on 29 of 51 and out-rebounded the Jay
hawks 31 to 22.
Kansas led for a good part of the first
half and cut UNCs lead to four, with 3:31
left in the game, before a James Worthy
dunk put the Heels in control for good.
Worthy said that although all teams would
be out to get the Heels, he thought his team
could control the tension mentally.
"There's no doubt that teams will be
ready for us because of bur ranking and
tradition," he' said. "Even so, if I had a
choice, I'd still want to ranked No. 1."
Council advises drafting of ordinance
to regulate condominium conversion
By MICHELLE CHRISTENKURY
DTH Staff Writer
The Chapel Hill Town Council advised
Deputy Town Attorney Grainger Barrett to
draft a local ordinance regulating condomi
nium conversion at a council work session
last week.
i
I
Joe Nsssif
Currently, there is no state law specifi
cally concerning condominium conversion
regulation. . v
Because Barrett said that a local ordi
nance would probably be challenged by
the courts, the ordinance would be devised
with possible judicial challenge in mind.
See related story on page 2
Mayor Joe Nassif proposed that an ordi
nance be designed to establish alterations
to the state building codes which would
bring certain standards to condominium
conversions.
Nassif explained that the state building
codes currently have more stringent re
quirements for townhouses than for con
dominiums or apartments. For example,
townhouses have different fire ratings than
condominiums and apartments, and town
houses have more privacy.
But because both condominiums and
townhouses are independently owned,
Nassif said condominiums should meet the
same building code standards as town
houses. Nassif said the expense of bringing par
ticular housing units up to the required
housing standards might have the effect of
controlling condominium conversions.
Nassif said other alternatives included '
making the proposal to the State Building
Code Council or sending a specific bill to
the state legislature.
However, Barrett said there would be
no assurances that any approach would be
upheld by the state courts, '
"Amendments to the state building
codes may be difficult to get because of a
lack of precedent (concerning condomini
um conversions) in other places in North
Carolina," he said.
"But, there may be a possibility that we
could go to the State Building Code Coun
cil and get approval."
Council Member Jim Wallace proposed
that a local ordinance be designed with the
idea that it eventually would be examined
on the administrative, judicial and legisla
tive levels of state government.
"The courts have been extremely reluc
tant to favor such proposals (concerning
condominium conversion regualtion),"
Wallace said.
"On the other hand, the tone of the
court has not at all been reflected in the
Building Code Council or in the General
Assembly," he said. "The best approach is
I

to get pur attorney and his colleagues to
scour the statutes of other" states and paste
up ah ordinance relating to the conversion
of apartments to condominiums for the
town of Chapel Hill.
"A statewide enabling law will help us,"
he said. "We will not be able to forestall
this action in courts unless we have a law.
"The current suit requiring restraining
will proceed."
The Town Council voted in October to
take legal action against a local realtor for
failing to secure a modification of a
special-use permit that would have let
him convert Brookside and University
Garden apartments into condominiums.
AH

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON National Security
Adviser Richard V. Allen announced
Sunday he has taken administrative leave
from his White House post.pending com
pletion of a Justice Department inquiry
into his receipt of $1,000 in cash from
Japanese journalists who interviewed
Nancy Reagan.
. Allen, who has withstood more than
two weeks of scrutiny about the case, said
he asked President Ronald Reagan for
the leave Saturday- because "the interest
in this case had developed to ah extent
that great pressures have been brought to
bear on the White House."
Allen called the president, who was
vacationing at his ranch near Santa Bar
bara, Calif., at 11:20 p.m. (EST) Satur
day, White House deputy press secretary
Larry Speakes said Sunday.
Allen's surprise announcement came as
he submitted to his first lengthy interview
about the matter since the investigation
became public. Nov. 13. He answered
questions about the case for nearly 30
minutes on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Speakes said Reagan watched the in
terview. Asked if the president thought
Allen had made the right decision,
Speakes said, "I think he honored Allen's
request. He hasn't passed judgment
either way."
The White House spokesman said he
didn't know if anyone tried to talk Allen
out of his decision.
During the interview, Allen denied any
wrongdoing but conceded he "did exer
cise bad judgment" in not reporting his
receipt of the cash to a White House
lawyer immediately.
Attorney General William French
Smith has about two weeks until he will
be required by federal law to drop the
Justice Department's preliminary investi
gation of the matter or seek appointment
of a special prosecutor to decide whether
there is reason to belieye Allen committed
a crime.
Allen said he expected to be cleared
without the appointment of a special pro
secutor arid added, "I fully expect to
resume my duties."
He said if a special prosecutor was
named he would, expect to remain on
leave but not resign.
In the meantime, Allen said, Adm.
James Nance, the deputy director of the
national security council staff, will take
over for him. Nance was called on some
weeks ago to take control of the council's
military affairs office when Allen fired
Maj. Gen. Robert Schweitzer for making
, an uriauthbnzed: speech in tyhicft the Ar
my officer portrayed a dire threat of
nuclear war. y-v .-;
Allen said Sunday he intercepted an en
velope containing the money and some
papers as "someone tried to thrust (them)
into Mrs. Reagan's hand" at the conclu
sion of a brief interview Jan. 21, the
president's first full day in office.
It has been Allen's contention from the
start that he gave the money to a secre
tary, who put it into a file safe. He has
said he intended to turn the money over
to the proper authorities but forgot about
it in the crush of business at the outset of
the administration. ,
He disclosed Sunday that the money
actually was moved from the safe to
another before it was discovered and
turned over to the FBI in mid-September.
Allen said he did not know who moved
the money and also said he had no
recollection of being reminded that the
cash was there before he was called by
FBI agents. .
One of the Japanese journalists who
took part in the interview with Reagan
was quoted by a Tokyo newspaper as say
ing she repeatedly requested a receipt for
the money, which she said the White
House had agreed to give to charity.
, It was not clear from Allen's answers
what the other papers, were that he in
tercepted along with the envelope, al
though he did refer to some documents
shown to him by investigators and pre
sumably removed from the safe when the
money was discovered. .
Fordham vetoes plan
Calendar stays
By KENMINGIS
DTH Staff Writer
UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Ford
ham III said Sunday that he had decided
to leave the 1982-83 school calendar as it is,
approving the original schedule presented
to him by the Calendar Committee.
"It seemed to me that the great body of
students and faculty were all opposed to
the idea of moving everything so qlose to
Christmas," he said, "so I approved the
. calendar as it was first drawn up by the
committee."
: The Calendar Committee had been asked
by the Committee of Instructional Person
nel, to look at ways of beginning the fall se
mester a week later than had been planned..
That change would have pushed exams
back to Dec. 22 and cut a week from next
year's Christinas vacation.
"It (the proposed change in the calendar)
was presented too late to do all the moving
around that would have been needed, not
just for students, but faculty as well," said
Dean of Student Affairs Donald Boulton.
"There are too many diverse needs in
the University and the community that
cannot react quickly to changes (such as
those proposed)," he said. .
Various reasons had been presented
both for the change and against it.
Supporters said because the fall semester
begins each year on a Monday, the open
ing date keeps getting earlier. Moving the
calendar ahead one week would provide
more time between summer school and the
fall semester, and would have given stu
dents another week of summer vacation.
Opponents to the move said taking a
week from Christmas break would have
made getting a job during Christmas more
difficult. Students would also have to at
tend classes on Labor Day.
Fordham said the arguments against the
move and the problems it would have en
tailed were the main reasons for his deci
sion to leave the calendar unchanged.
"People made some pretty valid reasons
for leaving it alone," he said.
But, Fordham said the calendar would
eventually have to be moved.
"Every several years, we have a pro
blem; and it has to be changed,' he said.
Before moves in the calendar come up
in the future, Boulton said the proposals
wouia nave to oe maae earner.
"It was simply a matter of it (moving
the calendar) being too late to do," he
said.
