Survey how rmcmi dmcrimimmtion

About 63 percent of black students at UNC who
responded to a 1981 survey said they had experi
enced some form of .racial discrimination in
Chapel Hill, according to a study recently com
pleted by Henry Frierson of the UNC School of
Medicine.
Of the 184 respondents, 41 percent said that al
though they had experienced racial discrimination
at UNC, it "hardly ever" occurred. Forty-eight
percent said it occurred "sometimes," 9 percent
said "often" and 3 percent said "very often."
"A mailed questionnaire was sent to a random
sampling of black undergraduates," Frierson said.
"We wanted to look at many factors, including
students attitudes and experiences they have had
at UNC."
Frierson said the survey only netted a 37 percent
response rate. "We're really not pleased with the
response rate. A higher response would have given
us more confidence in our findings. About two-
thirds of the responses came from freshmen and
sophomores."
"Many students don't think it's a
problem because they don't ex
perience it directly."
The survey was part of a national study con
ducted by Walter R. Allen of the Center for Afro
American Studies at the University of Michigan.
A spokesperson for Allen said the UNC findings
were fairly consistent with those at the five other
state universities participating in the survey the
University of Michigan, Arizona State University,
Memphis State University, State University of
New York at Stony Brook and UCLA. The
spokesperson also said "The survey was intended
to get black students' feelings from a personal as
well as an academic point of view."
In interviews Tuesday, two UNC black students
expressed their opinions about racial discrimina
tion. Cassandra Thomas, a junior from Fayetteville,
said, "My feelings are that a lot of people are ig
norant of discrimination. Many students don't
think it's a problem because they don't experience
it directly."
Thomas, a member of the University's Black
White Dialogue Committee, said, "The committee
has an opportunity to speak to students and facul
ty, not to change their opinions, but to make them
more aware of racial situations. We talk to any in
terested members of the University community.
"A lot of the problem is that the faculty is re
moved from the students," she said. "They can't
see the social and dorm life that students are al
ways involved with."
Vickie Smith, a sophomore from Greenville,
said she had experienced racial discrimination, but
only rarely. She also commented on how she, as a
minority student, has adjusted to academics and
social life at UNC.
"I've adjusted well because I'm involved in a lot
of organizations on campus. I also think that
blacks in general have adjusted well. There are a
lot of activities they can get involved in, such as the
Black Student Movement and the United Christian
Fellowship, but I think the reason most blacks ad
just well is because they have to. It's a predom
inately white university." ,
Harold G. Wallace, vice chancellor for univer
sity affairs, said the study had been somewhat mis
labeled as a discrimination survey.
"It was intended as a survey of minority' stu
dents at UNC," Wallace said. "It would give us
some, information on the attrition rate of
minorities and why they succeed or do not suc-
ceed. We hope it will give us insight into these
questions."
Frierson said he saw the survey as "being useful
to the University not as an indictment. If the in
formation is taken for what it is worth, it will cer
tainly be of use."
"... think the reason most blacks
adjust well is because they have
to. It's a predominately white
university."
Wallace also said the survey would be useful, al
though he declined to say in what capacity. "I
have yet to see Frierson's final report, but I have
looked at the raw data with him," Wallace said.
"We will at some point see the results of the na
tional survey conducted by Dr. Allen," he said.
"As for right now, the University is not planning
any change in policy. We still have to analyze the
data before we can really do anything."
Landfills
registered
with EPA
By ALEXANDRA McMILLAN
Suff Writer
The two landfills used by UNC to
dump toxic waste materials until 1979
have been registered with the Environ
mental Protection Agency and the Solid
and Hazardous Waste Management
Branch of the State Department of
Human Resources.
All hazardous waste producers were re
quired to identify their dump sites by
June 9, 1981 in order to comply with the
federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, a Uw commonly known as ;
the "superfund." The superfund will
help provide money to clean up toxic
waste sites when necessary.
The first local landfill, located off of
New Banks Road, was used by both the
town of Chapel Hill and the University
until 1973. It was closed when the second
one, located near Horace Williams Air-,
port and used solely by the University for
toxic waste disposal, was opened. The se
cond site, established under the recom
mendation and approval of the state,
closed in 1979 when hazardous waste dis
posal regulations were proposed. There
were no regulations prior to these, direc-
tor of UNC's Health and Safety office
Don Willhoit said.
The University now exports its toxic
wastes, produced primarily by the labs
and the plants, to Alabama through Tri
angle Resources, .a commercial toxic
waste service.
"North Carolina has taken over full
powers of its own toxic waste manage
ment within the last month," Willhoit

aiimit aid cuts
fits
By MARK STINNEFORD
Staff Writer
Dismayed by proposed cuts in federal
student financial aid, UNC graduate and
professional students have voiced their
opinions with letters, telegrams, petitions
and personal visits to Washington.
The focus of the protest has been Presi
dent Ronald Reagan's proposed elimina
tion of Guaranteed Student Loans for
graduate and professional students. ' ,
About 1,700 graduate and professional
students (except those in the medical,
dental and law schools) borrowed more
than $7 million through the GSLs for the
current academic year, more than half the
funds distributed to UNC students
through the program, according to Grad
uate and Professional Student Federation
Treasurer Mae Liau.
"You can view the cuts as a $7 million
deficit in needed financial aid," she said.
While not included in the $7 million'
figure, 30 percent of the students in medi
cal school and over 50 percent of those in
law and dental schools depended on
" GSLs for financial support in academic
year 1981-82.
The GPSF has been a major force in
organizing protest a petition drive and
letter-writing campaign against elimi
nation of GSLs, while many individual
schools and departments have begun their
own efforts.
"There are many of us who don't
. know how we're going to be able to come
back to school next year if these loans are
eliminated," said graduate business stu
dent Amy Davidoff.
Davidoff, along with fellow business
graduate student Elizabeth Bevan, ini
tiated the business school's protest to the
cuts. They drafted a memo detailing
Reagan adrninistration proposals and
urging students to express their opposi
tion through letters, telegrams,
mailgrams and telephone calls to the
White House, the Department of Educa
tion and member of Congress.
School of Business Adrninistration stu
dents would be especially hurt by the
elimination of GSLs because school
policy "strongly discourages" outside
employment during the first year of busi
ness school nd Offers only limited, part
time jobs "during the second year,
Davidoff said.
"For business school and a few other
schools on campus, the problem is com
pounded by the lack of teaching assis
tantships and scholarship funds,"
Davidoff added.
Alternatives to GSLs for law students
are also nearly "non-existent," said first
year law student Kathy Waylett, a mem
ber of a law school committee which has
organized its own petition-drive and
letter-writing campaign. "Many people
are so fired up. that they're arranged per-

Funding religious groups unconstitutional
By ALISON DAVIS
Staff Writer
A bill passed by the outgoing Campus
Governing Council last week is un
constitutional in parts because it allows
religious groups to receive CGC funding,
UNC Law professor Barry Nakell said
Tuesday.
The bill, which amended the criteria
for groups applying for CGC funds to in
clude religious or political groups, was
based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. A
religious organization recently sued the
University of Missouri for the use of its
facilities to hold meetings.
In December, the Supreme Court ruled
in favor of the religious group, saying
that denying the use of university
facilities was an infringement on their
right to free speech, former CGC member
Jeff Carnes said while presenting the bill.
"The state may not support religious
groups," he said. "Student Government
is a part of the state."
CGC members Susan Sparks (District
9) and Garth Dunklin (District 1 1) plan to
present a bill to the newly-elected CGC
Monday, March 15, that would reverse
the last CGC's ruling allowing religious
or political groups to request CGC fun
ding. If the bill passes, religious or political
groups will again be unable to request
CGC funds. The bill would reinstate a
clause that the outgoing CGC deleted
from the criteria for groups receiving
CGC funding: "programs, services, or
events of a religious or political nature are
nonfundable."
Funding political groups is not un
constitutional, NaKell said. He said, "It's
perfectly all right for the government to
take political positions," citing the
Reagan administration as an example.
Student Government has complete
policy control over .funding political
groups, Nakell said. "That's a question
for the CGC to decide."
The outgoing CGC removed the clause
prohibiting religious or political groups
from requesting CGC funding because of
the difficulty involved in defining a
religious or political group, said former
speaker ElChino Martin.
Several CGC members said they were
displeased at the ruling made by the
outgoing council. "We're dealing with
state funds and state funds don't go to
political parties," CGC member. Phil
Painter (District 19) said.
"I'm real mad about that (the ruling),"
CGC member Dana Simels (District 22)
said. "But I think it's going to be O.K.
for this council because they're so conser
vative that they won't give them (religious
or political groups) the money'
Finance Committee chairperson
Charlie Madison (District 23) said defin
ing a religious or political group woujd
not cause a problem for the council.
"There is a strong possibility that the
individual subcommittees would define
those terms themselves," he said.

Punk rock
Evangelist: today's music has harmful, satanic influence
By SUSAN WHEELON
Staff Writer
Students who listen to most hard rock and punk rock
music are subjecting themselves to satanic ideology and
perversion.
At least that's what Durham-based evangelist Albert
Long said on an hour-long cassette discussing these
groups and their lyrics.
"Most punk and hard rock music today is not a
'harmless pastime' like many people think.. .and most of,
those who think that know nothing about this music,"
Long said. . s ,
"The reason 1 make that statement is that it is though:'
J , .
.w be harmless, and for this reason, it does its damage
completely unchallenged," he said."
Albert Long, Carolina's last four-sport letterman,
now an evangelist with Happenings, Inc. in Durham,
made a cassette tape explaining the hidden messages in
punk and hard rock.
In the tape, he named specific groups, described their
backgrounds and told of their involvement with sexual
perversion, rebellion, violence, hatred, drugs and the oc
cult. ,
s Long quoted Bob Larsen, a former rock entertainer,
now in full time Christian work, as saying, ''Rock music
jumps right out at you from 20,000 watts of power to
jam uu in the skull.
"You cannot objectify its sound... The topical con
tent of hard rock music had molded this generation into
an irresponsible and very frustrated one."
Much rock music is obviously satanic, Long said.
Rock groups can attack the subconsciouses of those
listening through the use of subliminal effects and
backward masking, he said.
Backward masking is a process through which a
message or phrase is played into a song and only
recognized when the specific song is played backwards.
"For example," Long said' The fifth verse of a very
popular Led Zeppelin song says 'Yes, there are two

Reagan committed to tax cuts
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) President Ronald Reagan vowed Tuesday he would
not retreat from his tax cuts and proposed Pentagon buildup even though
Washington "seems paralyzed by hand-wringers" over record budget deficits.
Reagan, whose own lieutenants, including Budget Director David Stockman, in
creasingly have talked of compromise with the Congress, did not leave any room
for concessions in his latest speech. .
Instead, the president assailed what he termed "the born-again budget
balancers" and the "pessimists on the Potomap" during a campaign stop for Sen.
Malcolm Wallop (R-Wyo.), en route to a CaMbrnia vacation.
Speaking to about 4,000 Wallop supporters who paid $10 each to cram into a
high school gymnasium, Reagan declared that "As the volume of voices rises in
debate, there is one thing I want to make very clear: My commitment of cutting
taxes and rebuilding our defenses is every bit as strong today as it was the day I took
office. There must be no retreat in these areas."
Education budget cuts criticized
WASHINGTON (AP) House Republicans balked at President Ronald
Reagan's school-budget cuts on Tuesday as Education Secretary T.H. Bell conced
ed that the quality of education for disadvantaged youths would slip under the pro
gram. "Many of these proposals I can't support," declared Rep. John Ashbrook of
Ohio, ranking Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee. He
specifically assailed cuts in vocational education and education for the handicap
ped. :.
Increase in drinking aige approved
RALEIGH (AP) The Governor's Commission on Crime has given formal ap
proval to recommendations to increase the minimum age for purchase of beer and
wine to "21 and add increasing penalties for levels of drunken driving.
, A total of 13 recommendations were endorsed by the commission at its February
meeting and will be submitted in a written report to Gov. Jim Hunt and the Gover
nor's Task Force on Drunken Driving.
Among the other key recommendations are proposals to eliminate the law on
careless and reckless . driving, and to, establish first-, second- and third-degree
drunken driving offenses in which the severity of the penalty would be increased ac
cording to the Breathalyzer reading.
Watt legislation called a 6sham9
(AP) State and national environmentalists say after studying Interior Secretary
James Watt's bill calling for a moratorium on gas and oil drilling on wilderness
land, they have dubbed the legislation the "Wilderness Destruction Bill."
"The proposal is a sham from the first line to the last," Wilderness Society
Chairman Gaylord Nelson said in a statement. "Instead of preserving the
wilderness, it will destroy it."
