He bemoaned Moscow's refusal to scrap those weapons entirely, but said that shouldn't "further darken our search for peace." Reagan proposed that the United States cut back the planned installation of Pershing II and cruise missiles late this year if the Soviet Union agreed to reduce the number of warheads on medium range missiles throughout the world. Both superpowers would be limited to an equal . number of warheads on medium-range weapons. Reagan did not propose specific limits, and a senior ad ministration official said that would be open to negotiation. Reaffirming his ultimate goal of eliminating all medium-range missiles, Reagan said, "It would be better to have, none than to have some. But, if there must be some, it is better to have few than to have many." ; Speaking to NATO diplomats invited to hear his address, Reagan said, "If the Soviets will not now agree to the total elimination of these weapons, I hope they will at least join us in an interim agree ment that would substantially reduce these forces to equal levels on both sides." Reagan said Jie was willing to consider any serious alternatives put on the table by Moscow. - ; "Their failure to make such a proposal is a source of deep disappointment to all of us who have wished that these weapons might be eliminated or at least significantly reduced," Reagan said. "But I do not intend to let this shadow that has .been cast over the Geneva negotiations further darken our search for peace." His speech was part of an intensified campaign to win worldwide support -particularly in Europe for U.S. arms proposals and to put pressure on the Soviets to move toward an agreement. While Moscow had yet to offer a specific response, U.S. arms expert Paul Warnke said he doubted the Kremlin would find Reagan's proposal very ap pealing. "To the extent that it appears to call for equality of warheads between the United States and the Soviet Union, it would mean that the Soviets . if they made a 50 percent cut would then be confronted with the entire deployment of American ground-launched cruise See REAGAN on page 7 Quality delays 1 982 'Yack,' distribution starts April 1 1 By JOEL BROADWAY Staff Writer The long awaited 1982 Yackety Yack is scheduled to be distributed starting April H, after being nearly five months over due. The Yackety Yack, which is on a fall distribution plan, was originally scheduled to return from the publisher in October 1982. "Things went slow," explained Greg Dinkins, editor of the 1982 Yack. "But it wasn't worth it to publish before I had the best of the materials together." Dinkins said that the yearbook's pro duction problems had been secondary in the delay of the printing. "Quality that's why we were held up," Dinkins said. The Yack's coverage of the 1982 school year includes major speakers, concerts and games, he said. The NCAA basketball tournament coverage was especially good, Dinkins said. Along with the classic photo of the winning shot are other pictures which have appeared in Sports Illustrated, and a first-hand account of what followed in Chapel Hill, Dinkins said. "It's a great story about the night of the winning game," Dinkins said. In the story, the night starts off with the nar rator watching the game on television with all his friends and ends with the wild festivities of Franklin Street. Since all groups and organizations must buy their pages in the Yackety Yack, Dinkins said he was disappointed thafthe athletic department did not buy more. The yearbook must depend on the in come from patrons, the sale of the pages to the athletic department and the com mission the portrait company provides when they are chosen to shoot student photos. V Dinkins said that lack of money had not been a problem. "I think we made the most of the money we had," he said. "When working with the print media, there's no limit to what you can spend." Dinkins said that his staff had been a creative group of people, and the book contained a lot of things he considered in novations, "I don't think there are any sections in the book that people will want to skip over' he said. ' . The biggest problems the staff en countered were when photographers were unable to meet deadlines, and the pro duction manager left in the middle of the year, Dinkins said. Because the staff had very few veterans returning, Dinkins said there was very lit tle organizational structure at first.

The staff of the Yackety Yack tried photo exhibits and slide shows to en courage interest in the yearbook, Dinkins said. But lack of interest in the yearbook has caused sales and the number of por traits taken to be low. "People just aren't aware of how meaningful it will be," Dinkins said.. The yearbook, which sold for $13.50, was sold primarily by direct mail. Dinkins explained that the UNC campus was too large to depend on direct solicitation. I There is a waiting list for the 1982 ' Yackety Yack if extra copies become available, Dinkins said. By PERRY TWISD ALE Staff Writer The Carolina Forensics Union received $4,000 for a trip to a national tournament from the Educational Foundation Wed nesday. The gift followed the Campus Governing Council's denial of an appropriation last week to finance the trip. The money was given to the Forensics Union after a request ' from Forensica Union member. Lori Young and a written re quest from Bill Balthrop, director of foremics and assistant pn fessor of speech communication, said Ernest Williamson, ex ecutive vice president of the Athletic Association and Educa tional Foundation. The money is to be used to send nine undergraduates to the American Forensic .Association's National Individual Events Tournament, held April 9-1 1 at Weber States College in Ogden, Utah. -;v;: "We wanted to send this team to the national tqurnament," Williamson said. ' V. "They approached us and we decided that it would be a good thing for us to do since they are an academic part of the Uni versity." Williamson said that support of student academic endeavors was something that the Educational Foundation would like to do more of in the future. The Forensics Union sponsors students interested in speaking events, such as speeches and interpretation of literature, as par ticipants in individual events, said Robin Pulber, director of in dividual events for the Forensic Union. The union also sponsors the UNC Debate Team, made up of students interested in argument and debate. The CGC did provide the Forensics Union with enough funds in early March to send the Debate Team to the National Debate Tournament currently being held in Colorado Springs, Utah. The Forensics Union's request to the CGC at that time was for $6,200, while they received $2,200, Pulver said. Balthrop stated in his request to Williamson that the CGC's denial of funds for theindivddual events tournament was the first in seven years. "Efforts were made to obtain funding through the College of Arts and Sciences and the vice chancellor of student affairs, among others," Balthrop said. "Only the most minimal of funds were available from these sources, barely enough to cover the cost of one round-trip air fare," he said. The member of the Forensics Union were glad to receive the funding, regardless of the source, said Jay Allison, head coach of the Debate Team. "We could have sent part of the individual events team and a part of the Debate Team with the money from the CGC," Pulversaid. I "The money from the Educational Foundation gives everyone that qualified a chance to go," she said. The nine students who qualified for the national tournament did so by competing at tournaments during the year and by competing in the regional qualifying contest, Pulver said. See TEAM on page 8 Possibility improves Lottery issue up for debate By JAMES STEPHENS Staff Writer RALEIGH The odds for a state lottery improved last week when a state Senate subcommittee authorized two bills that en dorse the idea of a state-run numbers game. What began as a bill merely to study the feasibility of a lottery has become a question of who will decide the fate of a North Carolina lottery. One bill will leave the final question to the Legislature if passed, while the other" would put the decision to North Caroli nians in a 1984 referendum vote. The senate will conduct a public hearing before deciding bet ween the two bills. i ; Sen. Richard W. Barnes, D-Forsyth, said that faced with only the choice of cutting state funding or increasing taxes; the lot tery is a creative alternative. i,5 Barnes, who sponsored the original Senate proposal, said, "I'm convinced we can't rely on a built-in tax increase to generate enough income." The Legislature predicted early in the session that the budget presented by Gov. Jim Hunt would place the state $100 million in debt. -' ' .. By a 2-1 ratio, North Carolinians favor the idea of a state-run lottery, according to the results of the latest Carolina Poll con ducted by the UNC School of Journalism. Fifty-nine percent of the people contacted in the statewide survey said they thought a lottery was a good idea for the state, but only 55 percent said they Would participate in one if it was held. Twenty-eight percent opposed the idea, while 13 percent had no opinion. The questions asked the 600 surveyed were: "Do you think a state lottery would be a good idea or a bad idea?" and "If North Carolina had a state lottery, would you participate or not?" Sen. Rachel G. Gray, D-Guilford, said the lottery decision will be for many people both a financial and a moral issue. Gray said that while manv North Carolinians oppose gambling because of religious reasons, many look upon its cost as a "tax ing of sin." If a lottery is instituted, North Carolina will be the only Southern state besides Maryland with a state-run lottery. Cur rently, 15 states, most of them in the Northeast, have state-run lotteries. " Rep. Austin M. Allran, R-Catawba, said, "The state has no business with a lottery because it is gambling." Allran said that the. state's sanctioning' of a lottery to raise revenue would indicate a sad state of affairs in the North ; Carolina economy. : j Sen. Cary D. Allred, R-Alamance, said that he would not support a numbers lottery until he was convinced it would decrease the amount of organized crime and the number of peo ple who participate in illicit numbers rackets. While Allred said he did not believe a lottery is gambling anymore than raffles or church bingo are gambling, he said that the state would be encouraging the "something-for-nothing syn drome" by sponsoring a lottery. States with lotteries received profits ranging from $3.7 million in Maine to $500 million , in New. Jersey, according to the legislative report. The average net amount received by the states through the lottery was $19 for every state resident. The average annual amount spent by lottery participants in the 15 states in 1982 was $98. Common criticisms of the lotteries are that they are played predominantly by the poor and that organized crime will in filtrate the lottery system. However, according to the report research by government and private agencies reveals that "the poor buy proportionately less than their representation in the population." Also since the inception of state lotteries in 1964, according to the report, there has never been a single instance of organized crime infiltrating the lotteries. Of each lottery dollar spent 45 cents is returned in prize money to winners, 40 cents to the state's general fund, 10 cents to the marketing of the lottery and the support of a lottery board of between 50 and 100 people, and 5 cents to retailers who , are licensed to sell tickets. , Classguide compiledby mm top students lilll By HEIDI OWEN Staff Writer Move over Phi Beta Kappa there is a freshman honor society at UNC of equal prestige. Phi Eta Sigma, a national organiza tion like Phi Beta Kappa, has been in existence at UNC since the late 1940s. With more than 200 members active at one time, the society does not simp ly rest on its laurels. Each semester, members are busy compiling the Phi Eta Sigma Course Description, which provides students information about courses ihlime for preregjstration. . "It affords those students register ing for classes an opportunity to hear about a particular course directly from the professors who teach them," said Sarah Mack, Phi Eta Sigma adviser and assistant dean of honors. . The course description includes information such as course content, reading lists, test schedules and lecture styles about various courses that will be taught in the coming semester. Today, 7,000 copies of the Spring 1983 issue will be distributed at sites across campus, including the Carolina Union, the Campus Y? Steele Building and Wilson and the Undergraduate libraries, said David Kushner, Phi Eta Sigma vice president. Funding for the course description has come in the past from the College of Arts and Sciences, the Campus Governing Council and Phi Eta Sigma dues that members pay upon their in duction, said Robert McKinney, Phi Eta Sigma president. This year, the College of Arts and Sciences discon tinued their funding of the course description, resulting in 2,000 fewer flipp mmMmmmm ' ' y . f s - A X r- wmmw f f I! "4 'Stytiiiy f ff As. f, .

Phi Eta Sigma Treasurer Mary Guthery said the honor society would petition the CGC for more money for the coming year in their budget hear ing next week. Given the high admission re quirements to Phi Eta Sigma, it is sur prising that members have time to work on a course description. Stan dards for admission into the honor society are high. There are two ways for a freshman to become a member of Phi Eta Sigma. Freshmen with at least a 3.5 quality point average obtained in 15. hours of letter-grade credit at the end of one semester and no grade lower than a C gain admission to the society. Students with the same qualifica tions by the end of their second semester, " and" 30 credit hours, also become members of the society. Students are active in the organiza tion for one year after their induction, See PHI" on page 8.
