But the man who negotiated the SALT II treaty for the United States says the Soviets probably will find "there's nothing in it for them." In a speech Thursday, the president had charged that pro posals to freeze nuclear arsenals in the United States and Europe are a dangerous concept that "would do more harm than good" and "pull the rug out from under pur negotiations" at the U.S.-Soviet arms talks in Geneva. There was no immediate official response from Moscow as Reagan prepared to further explain the U.S. policy shift in a speech Thursday to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council. But American arms expert Paul Warnke, in Washington, said, "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 missiles and Pershing lis," Warnke said. Reagan was en route to a four-day holiday weekend at his ranch near Santa Barbara and stopped in Los Angeles to make a speech originally billed as a major arms policy address. Administration officials had said privately that Reagan would announce in the speech the expected shift from his proposal to ban all U.S. and Soviet missiles aimed at Europe. But, when it was learned that most European newspapers would miss the speech because of holiday schedules, Reagan , summoned NATO ambassadors to the White House and an nounced the essence of his new negotiating position before departing for the West Coast. The NATO allies, who had been consulted before the pro posal was put on the negotiating table in Geneva earlier in the week, said in a statement that '"it represents a significant step designed to move the talks toward conclusion of an equal, fair and verifiable arms control agreement." The Kremlin customarily does not respond immediately to major U.S. policy statements, and American officials said Soviet negotiators had been asked not to reject the plan without giving it adequate study. "If you look at it literally and without getting some of the details fleshed out, there's nothing in it for them," said Warnke, who as head of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency negotiated the SALT II treaty limiting the superpowers' deploy ment of long-range nuclear weapons during the Carter ad ministration. Although SALTJI was never ratified by the Senate and was denounced by, Reagan when he was a presidential candidate, both sides continue to observe its provisions.

Under proposed Department of Education guidelines for' the Solomon Amendment, UNC students bom after 1960 must complete a compliance form stating whether they registered for the draft before they can receive federal financial aid. They also must produce a copy of the letter from the Selective Ser vice acknowledging their registration. "If the law remains on the books, students applying for financial aid will eventually need the letter from the Selec tive Service," said Eleanor Morris, UNC director of student aid. However the final guidelines turn out, Morris recommended that UNC students applying for financial aid this summer may want to complete the compliance form and obtain the letter from Selective Service to avoid unnecessary delays in receiving their aid money. Morris said that 9,000 UNC students receive some kind of financial assistance and that 7,500 of those are getting federal aid. She said students possibly affected by the Department of Education guidelines include those receiving money from the Guaranteed Student Loan, the Pell Grant, National Direct Student Loan, Supplemental Grant and College Work Study programs. During 1981-82, 80 per cent of the $24 million in UNC aid money was federal, Morris said. In late April or early May, Morris said the financial aid office will begin sending out the compliance forms and instruc tions on how to meet all the guidelines. There is also a space on the form for females to check, she said. A student cart hot classify himself as a conscientious ob jector because there actually is not a draft, Morris added. Morris said several students have com plained about the guidelines. "We've tried hard to understand their concerns. We've had students talk about the constitutional issues," she said. When "asked what UNC might do about helping students deprived of aid, Morris said that was up to University of ficials. , "My own feeling is that we would do our best to comply with the law," she said. "It is a really complicated problem and the first time there has been a philosophical issue in student aid in a long time." ' The Chancellor's Committee on Scholarships, Awards and Student Aid is also investigating the implications the law will have on students. "It is potentially a nightmare. The law as it is written is a very bad law," said William Hardy, chairman of the com mittee. One option discussed by his committee is whether to seek alternative financing for students denied federal aid for failing to register or show proof of registration, Hardy said. Hardy said the University has riot taken an official stand, but the possibility exists that colleges that provide alternative financial aid may have their federal aid terminated or curtailed by the ; government. "It is an implied threat," Hardy said. "There is a fairly strong movement in Congress to subvert this law," he added. Students are also concerned about the issue. "The general consensus is that the University is not the place for this," said Ron Everett, chairperson of the Campus Governing Council Student Affairs Com mittee. "A lot of people feel it violates due process," He added that the committee considered sending a strongly worded protest to President Reagan and members of Congress, but decided to await final court action on the Minnesota lawsuit. "You are shifting the burden of proof from the government to the student," said Reggie Holley, chairperson of the CGC Judiciary Committee, who planned to aid in the protest. "A number of students can't recall where they placed the documents. f I , 'i. ' 4' Eleanor Morris "Using dratt registration as a disciplinary tool seems like a violation of the financial code of ethics," he said. "It discriminates against the financially disadvantaged." Morris said that during the 1960s, students convicted of "substantial disrup tions" during demonstrations could be denied financial aid. In the late 1950s, when the first federal student aid pro grams began, she said students receiving federal aid were required to take an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Draft registration will be required for financial aid By TIIAD OGBURN Surf Writer Students who have not registered for the draft may not be receiving financial aid next year because of a federal amendment sponsored by Rep. Gerald Solomon, R-N.Y., which Congress passed in September 1982. Both the Selective Service System and the U.S. Department of Education are prepared to enforce the Solomon amendment even though it was declared un constitutional in a recent Minnesota court case. "We arc going forward with the regulations," said Joan Lamb, the Public Affairs Director of the Selective Service' System. Lamb said that beginning July 1, students applying for financial aid must check a box on the aid form con firming that they have registered for the draft. Male students between the ages of 18 and 23 who have not registered will be denied financial aid. A preliminary injunction was brought against the Solomon amendment in Minnesota state court recently. The court, ruling on a lawsuit submitted by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Minnesota Public Interest Research Group, said the Solomon amendment would lead to self-incrimination and thus violated the 5th Amendment. "Until there is a final judgment in the case, the Solomon amendment can't go into effect," said David Landau, a legislative counsel for the ACLU. Landau said the Selective Service and the Education Department can publish the Solomon regulations, but they cannot enforce them. "They are risking being in contempt of court if they do enforce them," he said. The ACLU is currently working to get a final injunc tion which would permanently put the Solomon act out of effect. However, such a ruling might resort in an ap peal by the government, Landau said. "The federal government could and probably would appeal the case," said Bill Hanson, a legislative specialist for the Department of Education. Although the preliminary injunction occurred in Min nesota, it is effective nationwide, Landau said. The Solomon amendment offers no clause for those students that seek conscientious objector status. A cons cientious objector is a person with religious or personal beliefs which prohibit him from serving in the armed forces. Rrp. Paul Simon, D-IU., and Rep. Steve Gunder- c ousar s to NCAA crown The Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. By the time the NCAA championship game rolled around, the label "Team of Destiny" had become one of those cliches that gets on your nerves. In the end, though, the nickname couldn't have been more ap propriate. Lorenzo Charles' dunk shot with one second remaining fulfilled North Carolina State's impossible dream Monday night, giving the Wolfpack a 54-52 victory over top-ranked Houston for the NCAA cham pionship. Charles, a 6-foot-7 sophomore, grabbed a 30-foot shot by guard Dereck Whitten burg that fell short with four seconds re maining, and stuffed it home. N.C. State coach Jim Valvano called time-out with 44 seconds remaining to set the stage for the dramatic finish. Houston's Benny Anders, a hero off the bench in the Cougars' semifinal victory over Louisville, barely missed a steal with less than 10 seconds rernaining. Whitten burg controlled the ball, spun around and let fly the shot which led to Charles' win ning stuff. "He (Whittenburg) took a prayer shot," Valvano said. "I told Lorenzo he had not played up to his potential, but he made the biggest shot of his life." Whittenburg said sarcastically: "That play was designed for Lorenzo Charles, and I told him to be ready for it." As Charles stuffed the ball through the basket and the final second ticked off, N.C. State players leaped into the air, whiler Houston players slumped to the " floor in disbelief . Players from both sides cried openly. The triumph denied the national cham pionship for Houston coach Guy Lewis, who had his team in the Final Four for the fourth time in his 27 years at the Texas school. Houston, which lived by the dunk all season, died from it Monday night. The Cougars had only one dunk, that coming ! in the first half by center Akeem Ola juwon. ' Olajuwon paced the Cougars with 20 points, 18 rebounds and seven blocked shots, and was named the Most Valuable Player in the Final Four. Two other members of the Houston slam-dunk fraternity, Phi Slama Jama, 6-7. Clyde Drexler and 6-9 Larry Micheaux, contributed little. Drexler hit only one of five shots from the field and scored four points after picking up four personal fouls in the first half. Micheaux also finished with just four points, playing only 18 minutes after the Wolfpack's 6-11 Thurl Bailey had scored most of his 15 first-half points over him. I i i I "- ' I r.. mum iiwi-n Win TwM)iiiiinii--iftf!-rr'T"T -:-- Thurl Bailey Bailey failed to score in the second half, but was the Wolfpack's leading scorer. Both teams shot poorly, with N.C. State hitting 23-for-59 for 39 percent. Houston, meanwhile, hit 21-of-55 for 38.2 percent. The Cougars, a notoriously poor foul shooing team entering with a 61.4 percent average made only TO of 19 from the free throw line. The Cougars were also in foul trouble. Drexler, the Southwest Conference Player of the Year, picked up his fourth personal foul on a charging call with 2:44 remain ing, which brought Lewis down the side line screaming in protest. Some 20,000 N.C. State fans began a wild celebration within minutes of the Wolfpack victory. What started as a trickle of people soon became a river as students poured from dormitories on nearby Hills borough Street into the Brickyard, a brick ed area in the middle of campus where past celebrations have taken place. Beer See PACK on page 4 GGC recommends more concert funds son, R-Wis., attempted to get a place on the aid form where a person can declare conscientious objector status. Hanson said one of the biggest problems with the Solomon rule when it came out in January was the large amount of enforcement that rested on the colleges. He said the Education Department has since revised the regulations to lighten the workload on the schools. "The institutions don't have to do anything but put the compliance form the student signs and the federal aid form in the student's file," Hanson said. Reactions to the Solomon amendment from univer sities have varied. Both Yale University and Dartmouth College have agreed to offer aid to students who may lose federal money because of non-compliance. "Any punishment of a young man for not registering for the draft is between that young man and the federal government," a public information spokesman at Yale said. A student in good standing who is denied federal aid because he hasn't registered for the draft will be eligible for Yale University financial aid. On the other hand, Boston University will offer no aid to those who haven't registered. See DRAFT on page 4 By MARK STINNEFORD Staff Writer The Campus Governing Council Finance Committee late Thursday night recommended that the Carolina Concert Committee receive a $3,000 loan to cover an expected shortfall of funds for the April 23 event. The CGC is expected to consider the loan request tonight. The council already has appropriated $100,000 for the concert. Anthony Hughes, treasurer for the Carolina Concert, said the loan was need ed because costs were higher than expected in three categories security, program printing and talent and promotion. While the categories are expected to fall short by a total of $8,800, the concert committee can make up all but $3,000 by transferring money from other categories, Hughes said. Security costs for the concert have in creased because the University administra tion and the town of Chapel Hill have called for greater police protection at the concert, said William Weathersby, director of security and safety for the event. "We want to make sure that students have a safe, good time," Weathersby said. , Because University police will be tied up with security control for the ACC baseball tournament and other events on the day of the concert, the concert committee has been required to hire a greater number of the more expensive Chapel Hill police of ficers, Weathersby said. The Carolina Concert Committee also needs additional money for the cost of printing programs for the event, said con cert committee member Dwain Wilson. The programs, which would cost a total of $4,290 to print, are expected to generate $3,350 in advertising revenues and $2,000 in sales to concert-goers, Wilson said. Each program, costing a quarter, will contain 36 pages, including information concerning concert bands and the charities to be benefited by the event, Wilson said. Additional money for the talent and promotions category is needed to cover such costs as vehicle rentals, catering for the bands and the movement of a piano from Memorial Hall to Kenan Stadium. Hughes said the $3,000 loan should be returned when the concert's books are closed on May 27. "If I'm not done with the books by then, there's something wrong," he said. In other action, the Finance Committee postponed action on a request from The Phoenix for an emergency loan of $2,000. No Phoenix staff member was present when the committee made the request. But CGC Finance Committee Chairperson Doc Droze (District 22) left during the meeting to confer by phone with Phoenix business manager John Maxwell on the details of the request. Droze said Monday that the measure would not have been passed on to the full GOG even if it had been approved by the committee. Droze said he would not have allowed any final action on the loan re quest without a Phoenix representative be ing present. The request was considered by the committee only to gain an informal consensus on the issue, he said. The Phoenix is requesting the loan in order to publish two more issues this semester, Droze said. The newsmagazine was forced to ask for the loan because some advertisers have been delinquent in paying their bills, he said. Committee member Tim Newman (Dis trict 1 1) said providing the loan would pro mote bad business practices. Droze had previously quoted Maxwell as saying Phoenix accounts receivable are running one month late. The Phoenix said it could pay the loan by July 30, Droze said. Committee mem ber Fred Baker (District 9) said setting such a deadline would discourage the paper from pursuing the delinquent adver tisers. "That would be two months in which they would not be out there, beating the pavement and saying, 'Pay us,' " Baker said. See FINANCE on page 2
