Volume 91, Issue 77 University keeps tabs on students with files on all those enrolled By BEN PERKOWSKI Staff Writer If you are an enrolled student at UNC, there is a file with your name on it. There's also a file on you if you receive financial aid and another one in the school or department in which you major. The whole student file process begins before a student takes his first course as a freshman. The summer before a student comes to UNC, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions makes a folder containing information pertinent to the student's academic career, said Richard Cashwell, director of undergraduate admis sions. Cashwell said the folder, which later goes to the General Col lege, contains little more than the student's formal educational record, including such information as high school transcripts and standardized test scores. Margaret Folger, associate director of undergraduate' admissions, said that items such as letters of recommendation and other subjective evaluations are destroyed after "the student is enrolled. One component of the admissions folder is a predicted grade point average for the student's first year. Cashwell said the predic tions are based on how students with similar credentials, SAT scores and high school rank have done in the past. "On the whole these predictions bear out reasonably well, but there are also cases where it has been way off," he said. After the files are sent to the General College, they are kept in the student's appointed adviser's office where they can be seen at any time by the student. Grades, dropadd transactions, passfail declarations, registration slips, professor's comments and other such information are collected and stored in the folder. After the first two years of college, the file is sent to the stu dent's adviser in whichever school the student moves to from the General College. Central records are also kept in the Office of Records and Registration in Hanes Hall with information sent'from the stu dent's particular school. All information concerning a student's performance before coming to UNC is destroyed 10 years after graduation, said Robert Corn well, associate director of records. But the formal records of a student's performance at UNC are kept indefinitely. "We have students' records from as far back as 1903," he said. Files in the Student Aid Office contain the financial aid applica tion submitted by the student and his parents (if the student is a dependent), all financial awards given to the student and the parent's financial statement, said Financial Aid Director Eleanor Morris. Morris said the files are only open to the staff of the Student Aid Office and the student. "The financial statement is not open .to the. student if the parents so request," she said. See FILES on page 3 SB presidents in law school By JANET OLSON Staff Writer What happens to former student body presidents? A close look at Triangle area law schools and government offices may help answer that question. The activities of t'. past six student body presidents have been similar since they graduated from UNC. The pattern begins with the oppor tunities opened to students elected to the office of student body president. 1979 Student Body President J.B. Kelly sum marized the former presidents' opinions about the possibilities the office holds for students. "I thought because the president of the student body is on the Board of Trustees as a voting member that the office was a place for students to air their views from a position of some authority," Kelly said. "It's probably the only student-elected position that could do that." Kelly is currently enrolled in his final year of law school at UNC. He said he hoped to join a law firm in Raleigh upon his graduation. Although the presidents agreed on the possibilities open to a student body presi dent while in office, they disagreed on the advantages it could bring after gradua tion. Mike Vandenbergh, 1982 Student Body President, said the office had cer tain positive effects. "It resulted in the job I'm in now," Vandenbergh said. "I began to become more confident that I could effect changes." Vandenbergh is an administrative assis tant in Raleigh at the Governor's Com mission on Education for Economic Growth. He said he hoped to attend law school at Harvard University, the Univer sity of Virginia or Stanford University next fall and would like his work to center on environmental issues. 1977 Student Body President Bill Moss agreed with Vandenbergh about the of fice's advantages. He said that having y yy ? s y ysysss -y v j& US' it.-. :&.wy. Fore? often end up government been student body president was a form of instant credibility while looking for employment, but he added that it does not assure a prestigious job. "It may crack a few doors, but it doesn't open them wide for you," Moss said. "Also, the pension plan at the White House is certainly better than at UNC." After graduation, Moss spent some time in Hollywood writing scripts. He said he did not sell any of his work, but did generate some interest. He is currently enrolled in his final year of law school at UNC and said he hoped to work with a law firm in the Triangle area. But 1974 Student Body President Ford Runge said that having been student body president looks less and less significant on a resume as time passes. He added that perhaps the only aspect valuable to him now was the management opportunity the office gave him. Runge was an assistant political science professor at UNC until he left last year to work in Washington at the State Depart ment. He is now as assistant professor in the department of agriculture and applied economics at the University of Min nesota. Jim Phillips, 1978 student body presi dent, said being student body president brought more advantages than an im pressive addition to a resume. "It broadened the number of people I knew at Carolina," Phillips said. "Plus, it gave me a sense of what really goes on and how to deal with people in the real world." - After graduation, Phillips worked in the governor's office in Raleigh for two years. During his stay there, he worked for the governor's Appointments Com mission. He later was a lobbyist in the N.C. General Assembly. Phillips now is enrolled in his final year of law school at Wake Forest University where he is editor-in-chief of the law review. 1981 Student Body President Scott Norberg spent six months in Raleigh last year in the policy and planning division of the governor's office. He worked at the Serving the students and the University community since 1893 Monday, October 24, 1983 A- 'S v - y?yy 9-w - ' i i .

'4 mm Mike Vandenbergh Department of Social Services for the next six months as a social worker in the food stamp department. Now Norberg is a first-year law student at UNC. 1980 Student Body President Bob Saunders is working in the consumer pro tection section of the attorney general's office in Raleigh. He plans to stay there another year before applying to law school at UNC and several out-of-state universities. Not all student body presidents are alike though. Differences between presidents lead to changes in the office over the years, according to the former presidents. Norberg said that he could look back at the Moss and Phillips administrations of 1977 and 1978 and mark off an era when Student Government was concern ed with advocating student positions to the administration. The focus has since shifted toward providing student services, Saunders said. But Kelly said that the office stays the same because it provides the same options but the individuals change. "Different times call for different types of student body presidents," Kelly said. "It swings back and forth. If there's too much involvement with the administra tion, then students want their issues to get more attention, and it's the same the other way around." '"A ! 3 4 Ol mniLiir Chapel Hill, North Carolina waft '''BS'' v" DTHOiales Ledford Marines leave The Associated Press CAMP LEJEUNE Fresh Marine troops with morale said to be at a "fever-pitch high" boarded helicopters Sunday and left Camp Lejeune for Lebanon, where they will replace the hundreds of Marines killed and wounded in a terrorist bombing. Shortly after Maj. Gen. Al Gray ordered the Marines to leave Camp Lejeune, which is the home base for the Marines killed in Lebanon, troops could be, seen climbing aboard large Huey heli copters and leaving the airfield in shifts, beginning at 3 p,m. Gray, commander of. the 2nd Marine Division, said at a 2:45 p.m. news conference that the troops would bring the 24th Marine amphibious unit back up to strength after 135 Marines were killed early Sunday by a suicide bomber. He declined to give the numbers of troops or aircraft, saying the information could jeopardize the Marines already in Lebanon. Gray termed the attack "a godless type of thing and we're a force that knows our God. "If we were barbaric, we could defend against this sort of thing, but we're not." Gray said throughout history such attacks have been pre vented by lining up "five, 10 or 20 people and shooting them." Result of NCMH irst N.C. 'test-tube' By AMY TANNER Staff Writer A "test-tube" baby conceived at N.C. Memorial Hospital was born last week. The baby, born in Salem, Va., was the first "test-tube" baby conceived in North Carolina. Six-pound, eight-ounce Daniel Clayton Kirby was born at Lewis Gale Hospital at 1:16 p.m. Thursday to Lynn and Tom Kir by of Roanoke. "It's a real first for the hospital and everybody here was excited,',' said NCMH spokesman Kathy Bartlett. Lynn Kirby said Dr. Luther Talbert, director of the in-vitro program at NCMH, as well as other NCMH doctors, were helpful throughout her pregnancy. Talbert is also director of the division oC reproductive endocrinology and fertility at the UNC School of Medicine. The new parents were excited, said the new mother in a telephone interview Sun day from a Virginia hospital. Kirby said 146 of U.S. force .Bciru evels buildin The Associated Press BEIRUT, Lebanon At least 146 U.S. Marines and Navy men were killed and scores were wounded early Sunday when a suicide bomber crashed a pickup truck packed with explosives into the lobby of an airport building where the Americans were sleeping. A revolutionary Islamic group claimed responsibility for the blast that leveled the four-story building. Moments later another suicide terrorist drove a truck-bomb into a building hous ing French troops. State radio quoted civil defense workers as saying 25 French soldiers were killed and 12 were wounded. The French Defense Ministry in Paris said the death toll was nine dead, 14 wounded and S3 missing. In Washington, the State Department received a report from Beirut saying, a group calling itself the Islamic Revolu tionary Movement asserted responsibility for both attacks. According to the report, an anonymous caller telephoned the Beirut office of the French news agency Agence France Presse and said two of the move ment's fighters, named as Abu Mazin, 26, and Abu Sija'n, 24, perished in the suicide bombings. That group had not been heard of before in Beirut. The caller reportedly told AFP the movement would not rest until Beirut was controlled by "revolutionary Moslems and the combative democratic youth." The two bombings were the most savage attacks on the multinational force since it deployed in Beirut last fall at the Lebanese government's request to help keep peace in the capital, ravaged by years of civil war and foreign intervention. The bombing at a Marine command post at Beirut airport caused the largest number of casualties suffered by U.S. forces since the Vietnam War. The four-story building housing a Marine battalion landing team at the air port and the nine-story structure occupied by the French about a mile north collapsed Camp Lejeune for Lebanon program she could not have children naturally, so in December 1982 she began considering in vitro fertilization. This fertilization outside the body is done by artificially in seminating an egg and placing it in the woman's uterus. Kirby's right fallopian tube was damaged during a previous pregnancy in July of 1982 and one ovary and her left fallopian tube were damaged because of a benign ovarian tumor. When Kirby contacted an in-vitro fer tilization clinic in Norfolk, she was told there were about 3,000 people in front of her, she said. Her doctor in Virginia met Dr. Mary Hammond of NCMH at a conference in Chicago, and Hammond told him about a new in-vitro fertilization program which had begun at NCMH in January. Kirby's doctor suggested she come to NCMH. Kirby was the third patient in the pro gram and she said she was lucky to get the program early. . "Feb. 17, we put it in a dish and he was Literary?

"I haven't seen carnage like that since Vietnam," Marine spokesman Maj. Robert Jordan told reporters, his own arms covered with blood from helping carry the dead and maimed. Most of the Marines were asleep on cots when the ex plosion rained tons of concrete and glass shards down on them. Frantic Marines, some clad only in bloodstained underwear, grabbed shovels to dig for buried comrades crying for help, while others stood sobbing, stunned. Blood formed puddles on the ground. The area was littered with shattered glass, singed clothes, helmets and cooking pots. Jordan said the blast hurled several Marines clear of the building and that some survived. The truck-bomb, estimated to contain at least 2,000 pounds of ex plosives, ripped a crater 40 feet deep by 30 feet across. Col. Timothy J. Geraghty, commander of the 1,600 Marines deployed at the air port, told reporters some Marines re mained trapped alive in the wreckage six hours after the blast. Lebanese army ambulances, bulldozers and vehicles from all contingents in the multinational force rushed to the blast sites to help evacuate the wounded, many of them mangled and moaning in shock. Medics . and survivors laid out dead Marines in rows, their bare feet protruding from under the blankets. Some of the rescuers included members xf the Lebanese Shiite Amal militia, which has been warring with the Lebanese army around the Marine encampment. Anti-government snipers shot at Marines trying to rescue trapped comrades from the rubble, forcing many of the Marines to retreat to bunkers and fox holes. But the sniping stopped after three hours and did not halt the rescue effort. Jordan, describing the Maririe-com-' pound explosion, said "a truck filled with explosives crashed through the gate, drove See LEBANON on page 3 t explo "It is possible to train and defend against any type of terrorist attack, but it is difficult to counter this kind of attack when our honor, training and Western civilization, and our respect for human life, is involved," Gray said. Marines at Camp Lejeune were "stunned by this terrible act of violence," he said. "We're ready to go," he said, adding that morale was at a "fever-pitch high." . Lt. Col. Edwin Kelley, battalion commander of 2nd Bat talion, 6th Marines, 2nd Marine Division, said his unit did not have revenge on its mind as it prepared to move to Beirut. "We've got a mission to do it's unfortunate we had to have Marines killed, but we've got a job to do," he said. The Defense Department said 135 Marines were killed and more than 100 were reported wounded after a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden truck into a four-story building hous ing. several hundred Marines, part of the international peace keeping force in Lebanon. The dead and injured Marines belong to a unit that had been in Lebanon since June and was due to be sent back to the United States in mid-November.

In mid-February, the fertilized egg was implanted in Kirby's uterus. "We were just hoping it would work," she said. The doctors at NCMH were realistic but optimistic, Kirby said. "They never said, 'You will have a baby definitely,' " she said. Tests indicated that the baby would be a girl, Kirby said, but she and her husband were glad to have a baby whether it is a boy or girl. Kirby's father-in-law was glad the baby was a boy, she added. "My father-in-law was very excited because that would have been the end of the Kirby line (if it had been a girl)," she said. Kirby is one of 28 women to have em bryos implanted at NCMH. Another in vitro pregnancy conceived at NCMH since January ended in a spontaneous miscarriage.
