Jedi opened to record crowds this week
. . .even Darth Vader had to wait
'Jedi' opens to long lines
By REBEKAH WRIGHT
Tar Heel Staff Writer
Since Return of the Jedi opened
May 25 at the Carolina Theatre in
Chapel Hill and at 1,001 other the
aters across the country, children,
students and adults alike have lined .
up on Franklin Street to see the con
clusion to the Star Wars trilogy that
everyone is talking about.
With lines stretching down to the
Carolina Coffee Shop, it's no
wonder that Warren Stiles, manager
of the Carolina, reported that the
evening shows have been sold out
every night and that's at $4.50 a
ticket.
Jedi returns nationwide for the
opening day amounted to $6,219,629,
according to 20th Century Fox, there
by shattering the previous record set
by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
And the possibility of repeated
viewings looks promising: some of
the younger fans, waiting in line were
already there for the second time.
And some of the parents, like
Jacki Resnick and her husband, were
waiting to see it for the second time.
Incidentally, the Resnicks left the
kids at home.
Jean Humber's daughter recom
mended Jedi to her. "I like Yoda
and Obi-Wan Kenobi," Mrs. Hum
ber said. "Yoda because he's sweet
and cuddly; Obi-Wan Kenobi be
cause I like Alec Guinness."
While Brad Baker, 8, preferred
"the Ewoks, because they're cute."
John Jaynes and Michael Rupen,
both residents of Chapel Hill, had
other opinions. "They (the film
makers) seemed to have indulged
themselves with cuteness," Jaynes
said. Both he and Rupen opted for
the now-classic characters of Darth
Vader, Han Solo and Princess Leia
as their favorites.
Rupert seemed taken with Vader's
costume and the fact that "he was
the perfect embodiment of orderly
evil."
Of all the fans who saw the movie,
few wanted to venture into space
themselves. "I think this is a nice
planet," Heather Randell, 8, -said.
"I'd just like to stay with my Mom
and all."
Kathleen Coyle, 11 agrees with
Randell, "It's like so dull, I mean it's
okay in those comics and stuff, but
she shrugged her shoulders in
indifference.

Claims '83 concert
was mism
i
anaaed
By D.A. TREVOR
Tar Heel Staff Writer , ,
After Tuesday night's Campus Governing Council
meeting, Student Affairs Committee Chairman
Rebel Cole (district 4) said he planned to sue Ben Lee
on the grounds of violating his entrusted duty as
chairman of the 1983 Carolina Concert for Children.
"I've been working on this for a month we're
talking a big lawsuit," Cole said.
Temporary CGC Speaker Ron Everett (district 13)
said: "The concert has liability insurance. Student
Government cannot sue itself i As a student, Rebel is
looking into suing Ben Lee for fraudulence."
Ben Lee could not be reached for comment.
Everett and Cole said Student Government lost
approximately $70,000 on the concert.
"We had to amend the bill to extend the time to
get the bands," Cole said. "Had Lee not promised
to get us rain insurance, the concert would not have
been approved."
"The spirit of what Lee told us was, 'Approve the
$100,000 for the concert, and don't worry about
it.'". .
Article IV of BF 64-55, a law passed by CGC,
states "the Spring Concert 1983 Committee shall
consider and decide upon the option of purchasing
rain insurance no later than eight days before the
concert." Cole said the committee "never even held
a meeting" to consider it.
"Lee should have bought $80,000 in rain insurance,
which would have cost us $8,000 to $10,000," Cole
said.
. "The crowning thing was when I asked Lee if he
had made arrangements to move the concert to Car
michael. To this he replied, 'Well, what do you care,
it's not your money. "
Cole said, "The equivalent of what they spent
means a $3.75 fee increase per student to recoup the
- money we lost on the concert.
"It should have been set up so that our losses were
covered first. The charities even made money.
"Ben Lee even ordered the tickets before we ap
propriated the money. The tickets didn't have a dis
claimer against fire arms and alcohol printed on the
back, and the time of the concert on the tickets was
-wrong. When they brought the tickets to the desk to
be sold, they didn't even know how many there
were. We could have sold a hundred tickets and
pocketed the money. They didn't know what the hell
they were doing."
When asked about the possibility of having a con
cert in the future, Cole said, "There is no money for
another concert. The money has been squandered by
the Carolina Concert for Children and the 1983 CGC
Finance Committee.
"We think that they should be civilly responsible
for this, and it's damn near criminal. Students have
no business running a concert."
In reference to the actions of the Finance Commit
tee, Cole said, "That was the most irresponsible fis
cal budget to ever come out of Student Government.
The damn finance committee allocated $70,000 more
than they actually brought in, on top of the concert
debt. They did not cut anybody's money."
During the CGC meeting, temporary Speaker Pro
tern Steve Reinhard (district 1) said, "We (the CGC)
are supposed to oversee everything. Just because
things come out of the finance committee, it doesn't
mean it's gospel." ' ' ;
Cole said, "Since It's a class action suit,' we'll
probably have to wait until the fall when the whole
student body is back. I've talked to an attorney
friend of mine, and he said we've got grounds for a
SUit." .
At the CGC meeting, summer officers were nomi
nated and approved. They are: Everett, Speaker;
Reinhard, Speaker Protem; Jack Mohr (district 23),
Finance Committee chairman; Cole, Student Affairs
Committee chairman; Allan Rosen (district 7), Rules
and Judiciary Committee chairman.
Jane Anne Rolston was confirmed as acting stu
dent attorney general for the first and second sum
mer school sessions, and 16 members were approved
for the first session summer school Honor Court.

Heels falter in the ninth
-
inning of NCAA Regionals

A 41-8 record, a home field advantage and a high
seeding didn't help North Carolina in the. NCAA
East Regional Baseball Tournament this past week
end. ' ,
North Carolina was eliminated Saturday after los
ing to The Citadel 5-3, and then losing to Delaware
6-5. Tournament champion James Madison Univer
sity won all of its games, beating Delaware in the
final game 6-5 Sunday night.
"It was one of those baseball games when you hit
the ball really hard, but it doesn't necessarily mean
you're going to win," North Carolina Coach Mike
Roberts said. "I think Delaware never gave up. We
knew they were that type of club."
The Heels put together a remarkable season this
past year, winning fourteen of its first 15 games, in
cluding 11 straight. They were seeded first in the
ACC tournament with a 10-2 regular season title:
UNC met Clemson in the finals of the ACC tourney,
and defeated them by a score of 10-1 to take their
second straight ACC tournament title. Since the
ACC tournament, the Heels played 11 scrimmage
games to prepare for NCAA tournament play. UNC
met such teams as N.C. Wesley an, Spartanburg
Junior College, and Alabama, winning all games but
one against Alabama.
The Tar Heels came into the tournament with
their best record ever, and an 11-0 opening round
victory over William and Mary gave Carolina fans
reason to think this would be "their year."
Carolina's odyssey began on Friday when sopho
