New Year's resolutions
By L0RR1E DOUGLAS
DTH SUfI Writer
UNC students are following the New
Year's tradition of making resolutions,
mostly about school, dieting and partying,
according to an informal survey by The
Daily Tar Heel.
"I want to do better in school work
and to study more," said Revonda
Dellinger, a freshman from Valdese. "My
roommate made me promise to make up
my bed every day."
Junior Drue Head said he 'wants to do
a little bit better in school."
Freshman David Maki from Washing
ton wants to "study harder" and Sandra
Thomas, also a freshman, wants "to pull
my grades up."
Another student set a lower academic
goal. Susan Baker, a freshman from
Kinston, wants just "to pass." '
Amy Sloat, a Southport freshman, said
she is going to try "to get all my studying
done before I go out and party."
Some students said they are going to
try to curtail their beverage intake, but
junior Bellino Evans wants to take that
resolution one step further and "stop
drinking."
If that resolution doesn't get broken,
Evans will probably avoid sophomore
Amir Freedman's problem When asked
about a New Year's resolution, the
Winston-Salem native said, "I was so
drunk I can't remember what it was."
Tom MerkeJL a1931.graduate implied a
diet as his New Yearns resolution: "I said
I'd never get over 175 pounds."
LaVie Ellison, a junior from Eden, said
she wants "to get rid of the baby fat."
Some students did make resolutions
concerning matters other than eating,
drinking and studying. Sophomore
Barbara Soft, a Whiteviile native, said
she wants "to travel more this year."
Nancy Troll's resolution is a result of
traveling. "I spent a very interesting New .
Year's in the Soviet Union," the junior
from Southern Pines said. "My New
Year's resolution is to appreciate
America, for sure." ' ...
Some students, like freshman
Jonathan Williams, refuse to make the
traditional resolutions. Asked if he had
any resolutions, Williams Said, "to avoid
unrealistic goals. That's a good reason to
avoid resolutions, don't you think?"
Salvadorians affect Bragg
The Associated Press
FORT BRAGG The arrival of 60
Salvadoran soldiers for training at Fort
Bragg has meant some changes in base
routine there are now church services
in Spanish and a choice of rice or grits for
breakfast.
The soldiers, who are to receive four
months of basic training and elementary
guerrilla warfare tactics from the Green
Berets, have drawn national attention,
some of it negative, to Fort Bragg.
The 34 sergeants and 26 officers ar
rived by plane last weekend for training at
the John F. Kennedy Center for Military
Assistance. The group is an advance unit
the Army hopes to transform into teachers
for 940 Salvadoran recruits scheduled to
fly to the post next month.
The 1,000 Salvadorans represent one
tenth of that Central American country's
military strength.
The 60 are being kept away from re
porters until their government gives per
mission for interviews, the Army says.
But post officials say American tax
payers will spend about $15 million to
teach the Salvadorans battle strategy,
how to shoot and care for an M-16 rifle,
military history and first aid and to put
the soldiers through strenuous physical
training.
Fort Bragg officials have made some
adjustments in base life to accommodate
their guests. They've added steamed rice
to the morning menu of grits, arranged
for church services in Spanish and or
dered Spanish-language periodicals,
novies. radio and television shows.
Spanish-speaking American soldiers
staff the' post exchange where the Salva
dorans, with their $55-a-week living al
lowance, have brought portable radios
and razor blades, sunglasses, toothpaste
and cigarettes.
A recent siege of below-freezing tem
peratures has had some of the Salvadoran
soldiers shivering and muttering "muy
frio" "very cold" despite their U.S.
government-issued field jackets, gloves
and long Johns. The soldiers left El Sal
vador in steamy 87-degree weather.
Not everyone thinks the United States
should be so accommodating. Instead,
they want the Salvadorans to go home.
About 200 people marched last Monday
at Fort Bragg to show their discontent
while others scattered across the nation
demonstrated.
"I have nothing against these people as
individuals," said Kris Rice, 29, . a
member of the Charlotte Committee on
El Salvador. "I want us to stop diverting
money and manpower to an internal
struggle. We didn't really know what was
going on in Vietnam until it was too late.
There is no reason to believe the situation
is" any different in El Salvador."
Foreign soldiers from allied countries
ranging from South Korea to the Philip
pines to Canada are routinely trained at
Fort Bragg.-:- "m:-Jxy
'A'.' State -Dejiartmenf i'ipokernaTfi "de
fended the training last week saying,
"This is the normal way of providing
military training assistance to foreign
countries."

Semester's films
piregeiits ,'eM(B(dl"iiiil
By JEDLELAND
Staff Writer '
Coming this semester!!! The Carolina
Union Film Committee presents!!!
Featuring a cast of thousands!!! With a
colossal budget of millions, maybe even
billions!!! "
Starring Diana Ross as Billie Holliday,
(Bill Murray as a wacky soldier), Kermit
the Frog as himself, Christopher Reeve as
the "Man of Steel," Toshiro Mifune as a
16th century Japanese warlord, "V Peter
Sellers ' as the redoubtable Inspector
Clouseau, Sir Lawrence Olivier as the,
cute old con man and Slim Pickens as a
redneck werewolf!!!
Featuring sequences directed by some
of the world's greatest filmmakers:
Claude Chabrol, Kenneth Anger, John
Ford, Charles Chaplin, Alfred Hit
chcock, Wim Wenders, Akira Kurosawa,
George Ray Hill and many, many
more!!! And with an infinitely hummable
soundtrack by such hit-makers as Jimmi
Hendrix, the Who, Simon and Garfunkel
and Jon Mirsalis!!! '
Not even David O. Selznick, not even
Dino De Laurentiis, not even that
supreme' master of hype, Francis Ford
Coppola, ever dared to bring all this to
one movie!!! And neither has the Union
Film ' Committee. But all the wonders
mentioned above will be offered over the
course of the semester. Keeping with the
spirit of diversity the Union Film Com
mittee (hopefully) offers something for
every taste on campus.
,To find out which of the films suit your
aesthetic palate, consult the nifty maroon
and gray film schedule, incredibly well
written and edited for a change. It's
available at the Carolina Union Informa
tion Desk and outside the Union
Auditorium when films are scheduled.
Hurry, the supply of schedules usually
runs out near the first of the semester.
Smart students know the schedules
always make attractive dorm room
decorations, especially when hung beside
Schlitz Beer ads and Playboy andor
Playgirl centerfolds.
So depending on your fancy, you can
thrill to John Wayne's rescue of his niece
Natalie Wood in The Searchers, or
marvel at the vocal antics of the Sex
Pistols in D.O.A., or get irritated by the
world's longest traffic jam in Weekend,
or take delight as the two young lovers in
A Little Romance kiss under the bridge in
Venice. If you're really daring you might
venture to try films that might not seem
to immediately appeal to your cinematic
pretenses. '
Such action will i broaden your
horizons, stimulate you intellectually and
make you a more well-rounded being.
Need anymore be said, except the
Carolina Union Film Committee's
schedule provides a convenient and fun
method for students , to avoid their
studies. Indulge!!! (
Howes on national cities hoard
By ANNA TATE
" DTH Staff Writer
Jonathon Howes, Chapel Hill Town
Council member and former mayor pro
tem, was elected to the board of directors
of the National League of Cities at the
annual Congress of Cities held in Detroit,
Nov. 28-30.
Howes, who will serve a two-year term
on the board, is the Director of the Cen
ter for Urban and Regional Studies at the
University. He was one of five members
of the Chapel Hill Town Council to at
tend the congress in Detroit.
Howes said last week he viewed his
election to the board of directors as an
achievement not only for himself but also
. for the State League of Cities and the
town of Chapel Hill..
Since the league discusses positions on
national lxUcies. and issues! of common
interest to both large and small cities, his
election to the board of directors and
Chapel Hill's involvement in the League
could lead to possible benefits for Chapel
Hill and North Carolina, Howes said.
"It is very important to have a voice in
national policy-making and to seek in
volvement in national affairs."
Howes said he would like to stress the
importance of tailoring programs to small
cities. "Programs as constructed should
include components that benefit smaller
communities as well as large ones."
The congress gives him a unique op
portunity to talk with representatives
from small and large cities and see that
similar problems exist for both, especially
problems like housing for people with
low incomes and mass transit, he said.
The most significant thing to happen at
this year's congress was the election of
Fred Harrison, mayor of Scotland Neck,
N.C. as President of the National League
of Cities, Howes said!
"From the point of view of the state,
this has been a remarkable year," he said.
The election of Harrison, himself, and
Richard Condor of Rockingham as Presi
dent of the National Association of
Counties, reflects the vitality of muni
cipal government in North Carolina, he
added . ;
The election of Harrison and Condor
means that both major national organiza
tions representing local government are
headed by North Carolinians.
Howes, presently serving his second
term on the Chapel Hill Town Council,
said that his participation at local, state
and national levels of municipal govern
ment in the area of planning and growth
had enlarged and changed his perspective
on local government and the way it
works.
