Thursday, January 20, 1983fThe Daily Tar Heel3 New laws place 'DTH' funds in SAFO By CHARLES ELLMAKER SUff Writer The Campus Governing Council Finance Committee Tuesday night ap proved new treasury laws for The Daily Tar Heel that will require the DTH to return all of its funds to the Student Ac-. tivity Funds Office and have its budget approved each spring by the CGC. Finance Committee Chairperson Charlie Madison (District 23) said the new Treasury Laws, which will take ef fect May 15, were designed primarily to give the CGC more fiscal control the DTH. "We give them (the DTH) $70,000 a year, and I think we have the right to know how that money is being spent," Madison said at the meeting. The new regulations also will require that additional documents be exchanged between the DTH business office and SAFO to tighten control over the DTH fund management, Madison said. But he emphasized that the DTH's accounting procedures have been accurate. Although the DTH has been subject to the general Treasury Laws up to now, a different set of financial regulations have evolved tween the newspaper and SAFO, for convenience and because of personality conflicts, Madison said. But after the DTH began placing its advertising revenues in the Village Bank last May, many of the Finance Commit tee members decided that the newspaper should be brought back under SAFO. But the Finance Committee agreed that a new set of rules should be applied to the DTH to satisfy its special needs as a business. To accomplish this, the Finance Com mittee decided that a CPA firm, approv ed by both the DTH and SAFO should be contracted to assess the paper's financial operational needs and draw up a new set of rules which would give more control to the CGC. Madison went before the DTH Board of Directors last semester, asking them if they would object to using the firm of Burnstein, Cohen and Landis the firm which audits the SAFO books each year to draw up the new rules. When the . board objected to both the SAFO firm and Touche-Rosse, the DTH auditing firm, Madison agreed that he would find an outside firm to prepare the study. But when Madison presented the $5,000 subsequent appropriation the amount necessary to fund the study to the full CGC for approval the next week, the firm chosen was Burnstein, Cohen and Landis. The CGC passed the bill, but later amended the figure to $3,500. The final cost of the study was about $3,330. DTH board chairperson Janet Hart said Wednesday that she was disap pointed in Madison's decision to use the SAFO firm, "The board is unhappy .with the pro cess of the decision," Hart said. "We agreed when Charlie (Madison) came to us that the firm should be totally objec tive so that there would be no doubt on either side (about the study's fairness)." Hart said that by using a firm not con nected with the University, the new DTH regulations would have been forumulated to allow the newspaper to operate efficiently, whether those regula tions meant the DTH's funds would go back in SAFO or be left in a private ac- Madison said Wednesday that both he and Audit Board Chairman Don Yount had called several independent auditing firms, but that some declined because of the added work load from the tax season, and others declined because they did not think a continuing client relationship would be established. ' Bringing in an outside firm would have been too expensive, Madison said. And because of the extra time involved in that firm's familiarizing itself with the opera tions of both SAFO and the DTH, Touche-Rosse was not contacted, he said. Hart said Wednesday that she was also disappointed in the decision requiring the DTH to have its budget approved by the CGC in its annual budgeting process. "Establishing the budget of the DTH is our (the Board's) main purpose," Hart said. "The board would just be a puppet. Their decisions would be final, and ours wouldn't." The DTH budget must still be approv ed by its board before it is presented to the CGC for final approval. 'Best-Friends. ' contains soppy story, leaky plot By KAREN ROSEN Staff Writer Best Friends is not Smokey and the Bandit Meet Pri vate Benjamin, by any means. But any movie with Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn can't be all bad. Maybe three-eights bad. The funniest parts of the film are shown in the television commercials. The newspaper ad shows Goldie nibbling on Burt's ear, but the movie gives the impression that she'd rather bite his head off. Richard and Paula write movies. They are best friends. If they had submitted a script called Best Friends to their hip producer Larry, he would have said, "Beautiful! I love it! Can you rewrite the last hour? It's a little slow." When Goldie is dizzy and giggly, and when Burt is playful and smirking, Best Friends lives up to its hype. But for the most part, when they aren't businesslike, they're making each other mad and who wants to see Goldie and Burt sulking? . Best Friends tries to be a modern story about how two people can ruin a perfectly good relationship by getting married. GoldiePaula is reluctant. She feels that life is in three stages: you're born, you get married and you die. "If you never get married, you never die," she says. She's lucky she survived the movie, while managing to steal most of the scenes she appealed in with her plucky perceptiveness. C BurtRichard is persistent and finally convinces her. "If you were my age, you'd understand," he says. Good grief, he even wears reading glasses! The mod couple keep the marriage quiet by having a side-splitting wedding at a Chicano church, and then set off via Amtrak to visit the in-laws. Movies The real-life writers of Best Friends, Barry Diner Levinson and Valerie ...And Justice for All Curtin, lived together before they decided to tie the knot. When Richard and Paula arrive in Buffalo to meet her parents, the movie lapses into stereotypes. Jessica Tandy is the mother with cataracts who knows that Barnard Hughes attacks each and every maid, and she's glad he keeps trying. Burt gives Goldie some choice sicko looks when Tandy keeps heaping grits on his plate. Then they're off to Virginia to a condominium com plex that holds 18,000 people. Audra Lindley is Burt's squawking mom who snaps a picture of every significant family event. Watch those flash cubes! And pop Keenan Wynn speaks in road map. Burt's parents aren't quite as strange as Goldie's, but Burt is mean to her when they're on his old stomping grounds. She was nicer to him. Best Friends has some poignant moments when we enter their childhood rooms. "This isn't a room for sexual relations," says Paula. "It's a room for slumber parties." Their visit ends in disaster for her. When they return to California to finish a script, the music, by Michel Legrand and Alan and Marilyn "The Way We Were" Bergman, is soppy and the house is sop ping wet. The plot has holes in it and the roof leaks. All of a sudden, Paula and Richard are too immature to deal with the world now that they are married. Norman Jewison directs them through both their screenwriting and marriage problems. Larry, the producer, (Ron Silver of Rhoda fame) pops in and out for comic relief. "I told you marriage would screw up the relation ship," says Goldie It sure screwed up a great idea for a movie. Maybe Richard and Paula would have done a better job writing it.
