C. campus paper trying to become a force9 By LINDA QUEEN Staff Writer "Combined Forces will work to help build a campus political and cultural movement to meet the challenges of thel980's." So goes the opening sentence of an editorial comment in a new publication seen on North Carolina campuses, Combined Forces, "The Triangle's Progressive Campus Newspaper," based in Raleigh. Ted Johnson, a UNC graduate and the coordinator of the paper, and Neil Goldberg, editor, began production of Combined Forces in September. Johnson said the aim of the paper was to cover items that are not "in the mainstream press." "We don't want to just be a view, but become a force for people (to motivate them) to get involved." He also said it was not intended to be a "following behind a ban ner" type movement, but a total group effort. Film brings N.C. more than fame By TOM GREY Staff Writer Brainstorm will look familiar to many of the North Carolinians attending one of its two state premiere shows tonight in Raleigh parts of the movie were filmed at Research Triangle Park, Duke Universi ty and the Oakwood section of .Raleigh and in Chapel Hill. The film, starring the late Natalie Wood, Cliff Robertson, Christopher Walken and Louise Fletcher, had the big gest budget of any previous film shot in North Carolina. The fact that Brainstorm was made here at all may be largely due to the efforts of the North Carolina Film Of fice in Raleigh. Bill Arnoll, director of the Film Office, was involved with the project for over three years. After two trips to Hollywood in 1980 to sell the state as a good place to film, MGM contacted Arnoll about loca tions for a script the movie company was considering the script for Brainstorm. Arnoll and his staff put together a package of information on possible sites and sent it to MGM. Three weeks later a group from MGM, including director Douglas Trumbull, came to look at the sites. It was on this excursion that Arnoll learned more about why the MGM of ficials were considering North Carolina. Trumbull told Arnoll that he had a "mad scientist friend" who told Trumbull that if the kind of research described in the movie were going on anywhere in the United States, it would be in the Research Triangle Park. The research in the movie concerns a technique for recording people's thoughts and emotions on tape. This technique is discovered by two scientists played by Fletcher and Walken who work for a large corporate think tank.

There's something I could support. A lot of people have these opinions, but they just weren't coming out." Joey Pillow added, "A lot of people can express their medium in Combined Forces. This would give a good opportunity (for people) to come together." The present staff of the paper will sit down and talk about what needs to be covered and reach a consensus, Johnson said. He added, "There's a struggle in a good way; there'd be a discussion for hours on what would be in the paper." Dowling said the paper's staff was also now in the process of developing an editorial policy.

"They were so taken with the area that they decided not only to film here but also to call the loca tions by their North Carolina names in the movie," he added. The Film Office worked two years on the project before the filming actually started. "We tried to find locations close to each other in order to minimize travel expenses for the filming crew, which con sisted of almost a hundred people," Arnoll said. "We were able to find sites with dif ferent textures within a small geographical area." ' It took six weeks to film Brainstorm at seven different locations in the state. In addition to locations in the Triangle area, parts were filmed at Kitty Hawk, Southern Pines and Pinehurst.

"A film company typically spends one third of its budget in the filming area," Arnoll said. After filming in North Carolina was completed, the production moved to California. The drowning death of Natalie Wood in November 1981 put the film in limbo because some of her scenes had not been completed. After the film spent Wi years on the shelf, MGM and Lloyd's. of London, the film's insurer, decided to spend $3.5 million for special effects and another $1 .4 million to convert the film from 35-millimeter to 70-millimeter. To change to 70-millimeter was one of the adjustments Raleigh's Mission Valley Theater, where the premiere is being held, had to make. It bought a new screen and new projection equipment.

UNC now has the largest distribution figure for Com bined Forces, while there are also drop sites for the paper at Duke, NCSU, Shaw University and St. Augustine Universities. Pillow said the "foundation will be at UNC once people can see the paper then the participaticlnwill follow. We would like to get the paper in the hands of people who. want to read it." Johnson said the reaction to Combined Forces has been good, with more than 100 people from UNC signed up to help the staff "in any way possible." The first issue was published from funds supplied by the staffs contributions. The staff would still like to bring in more advertising and private contributions, Johnson said. Johnson said the organization is not yet established quite fully, "but that'll come." Anyone interested in helping Combined Forces can contact Johnson at 967-6828 or Pillow at 967-9353. Johnson said, "There's people dying for something like this, they want it, and I think we'll take off quickly." invention in the movie 'Brainstorm,' also been undergoing renovation, which should be completed by today, manager Gary Scruggs said. Tickets for the two premiere shows are $100. The proceeds will go toward renovating the old art museum in Raleigh for the new State History Museum, said Eve Williamson, executive director of the N.C. Museum of History Associates, a group raising money for the museum. She said Robinson and Fletcher would be at tending the premiere. Fletcher is currently filming Firestarter in Wilmington. Although tonight's showings were to have been the world premiere of Brainstorm, MGM decided to open the movie around the country a week early. "Rather than move the premiere up a week," Williamson said, "we decided to make it a premiere for the people of North Carolina. After all, the proceeds from it will benefit the state." No mikeman set for Wake game By ANDY HODGES Staff Writer UNC will not have a mikeman at this Saturday's football game against Wake Forest, but no official decision has been made regarding a mikeman for the rest of the season, a University official said Wednesday. Mikeman Kenny Ward was fired last week for reasons including jokes and remarks made in poor taste, missing prac tices and not working well with the band and cheerleaders, said Sharon R. Mitchell, assistant dean in the department of student life. Mitchell said that she has spoken with several other University officials about the selection of a new mikeman since last week, but no action has been decided on. "I think we are still very much involved in the evaluation of the spirit unit," Mit chell said. "As far as an actual decision, we're pretty much where we have been." She said those involved in the decision are "leaning more toward the use of the expertise of the cheerleaders" and more crowd participation, but added that the situation is being handled game by game. Varsity cheerleader co-captain Mitch Barnes said the cheerleaders are going to "stick to basics" in preparing for the game without a mikeman. "Just plain cheering, I think, will work better than the same routines we've used in the past with mikemen," he said. "We're going to try to get our fans behind the team without relying on jokes, but just on Carolina spirit. "We're going to have a lot more cheerleader-crowd participation. We're PGland's Walesa wins Nobel Peace Prize The Associated Press OSLO, Norway Lech Walesa, founder of Poland's Solidarity labor movement which shook the Communist world, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Wednesday, for his fight on behalf of the "unconquerecf longing" of all people for peace and freedom. Walesa quickly said he would give the approximately $190,000 award to Poland's Roman Catholic Church, which has been outspoken in its support of the labor movement. Solidarity admirers around the world praised Walesa's selection. Pope John Paul II wired congratulations to his 40-year-old compatriot and President Reagan hailed the award as a victory of "moral force over brute force." Polish authorities did not say whether they would permit Walesa to leave Poland to accept the award, and the labor leader said he was considering sending a relative in his place. Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, the only other Peace Prize laureate of the East bloc, did not accept his 1975 award because he feared he would not be allowed to return home. His wife. Local specialty shops offer fresh, natural alternatives By SHARON SHERIDAN Staff Writer Europeans may stop at the greengrocer's, the bakery and the meat market to do their food shopping. But Americans prefer to get all their food at one supermarket. This concerns owners of specialty food stores in America. "All I can do to combat that is offer a real fresh product at a nearly competitive price," said George Lawrence, owner of The Bread Shop at 411 West Franklin Street, next to McDonalds. Americans consider it an inconvenience to have to stop at several food shops, he said. When you shop as the Europeans do, you know who is making your bread, he said. "You feel better when you know who's making what you're buying." Six days a week, the Bread Shop makes fresh, whole grain breads and pastries without preservatives or additives. The bakery uses about two tons of flour a week, and the ovens work more than 20 hours a day. "During the winter we start bread at 1 1 in the morning and we finish at four the. next morning. At five in the morning the baker who does the sweets comes in. He works until 10 or 11 a.m." At larger industrial companies. going in the stands when we feel the team needs it most." Mitchell and UNC band director Major John Yesulaitis met with Ward last week to discuss the administration's concerns and actions, but Mitchell said that was not the first time the concerns had been ex pressed. She said she did not know if any University officials had spoken with Ward personally regarding his performances ear ly in the season, but added that "the ad ministration's concerns were given to him through the proper channels." She said that Ward was given sugges tions and evaluations by the cheerleaders and band after each game. Ward said earlier this week that in his opinion he has been told nothing official and is still waiting to hear from Mitchell or Donald Boulton, vice chancellor of stu dent affairs. "She (Mitchell) told me that my job as mikeman was technically over, but that was before she asked me to resign," Ward said. Mitchell said, however, that at least part of the issue is settled. "I guess the official stance is that Kenny is not the mikeman," she said. "I can't imagine how he can have missed anything. We explained our concerns to him clearly and still in a way that was very human." Mitchell said last week that a large part of these concerns were based on letters and comments received by the administration saying that some parts of Ward's perfor mances were in poor taste. Ward disagreed. See MIKEMAN on page 7 Yelena Bonner, attended on his behalf. In Warsaw,, deputy government spokesman Andrzej Konopacki charged that the award was politically motivated and said the Peace Prize "used to be a meaningful award. Now it is devalued." Walesa, who was interned by the Com munist government for 11 months during martial law, was harassed afterward while trying to return to his job as a shipyard electrician, and has recently been the ob ject of a news media campaign to discredit him. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said Walesa had made his contribution "with considerable personal sacrifice to ensure the workers' right to establish their own organization." The Solidarity union, the only indepen dent labor union in the Soviet bloc, was founded in August 1980, after a wave of strikes and unrest, but was suspended at the imposition of martial law Dec. 13, 1981, and later outlawed. A Solidarity underground remains and, despite frequent government efforts to minimize Walesa's importance and discredit him, he remains a hero of the See WALESA on page 7 Lawrence said, bread conforms to the needs of machines. At The Bread Shop, the bread is given the chance to rise several times and chemical are not added. "When yeast reacts with the sugars, it gives off gases and enzymes and that's what imparts a good taste to bread," Lawrence said. The big industrial com panies add chemicals which speed up the activity of the yeast. "They also add chemicals which simulate the taste given off naturally by the yeast if you ferment it," he said. "We never have considered ourselves part of a natural food movement," he said. "It's old fashioned, that's all." The Bread Shop, open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, has been in Chapel Hill about eight years. About 65 percent of the shop's business is wholesale. If you walk into The Bread Shop, the most striking feature may be the smell of fresh-baked bread. But this is one thing Lawrence can't enjoy. "We can't smell it. For a baker who works five to six days a week, after a while that smell is just background noise," he said. . "I get a lot of pleasure out of doing work that feeds people. And there's a cer tain sense of sculpturing," Lawrence said. See MARKET on page 4 .
