Volume 91, Issue 85 Random tickets eliminate long lines By ANDY HODGES Staff Writer Long lines snaked past the Bell Tower on football ticket distribution days during last fall's season. But thanks to a new system devised by the Carolina Athletic Association, students don't have to wait in line to get good seats this year, and many seem to be happier with the change. CAA President Padraic Baxter and others said that nearly all of the com ments they have heard about ticket dis tribution this fall have been positive ones. This year, for the first time, football tickets are distributed randomly. When tickets to the sideline sections run out, end zone tickets are distributed. Baxter said the new system was partial ly the result of professors expressing their concern about students missing class to get tickets. "What happened last year is that the faculty was not happy with the ticket policy, so we invited them to give us their ideas," he said. "As for the system as a whole, I've heard a lot of positive things," Baxter said. "People don't have to miss class or wait in line; they can come down anytime and get good seats." Added Jane Carter, a secretary in the ticket office who works with student dis tribution: "The only comments I've heard from students have all been very favorable." - ....... Lisa Zinn, who Baxter appointed as his executive assistant in charge of ticket distributions, said she had heard mostly positive remarks about the new system, but added that she also had heard "typical complaints" from students who could not pick up tickets or tokens for block seats. Zinn said that some of the most impor tant changes in the new distribution policy dealt specifically with block seating. In previous years, the best seats were given to individuals while blocks were given seats in the upper deck and in or near the end zone. Now there are seats re served for blocks in all of the student sec tions and they are given, from best to worst, in the order that the blocks are drawn. Zinn said that to make sure individuals still got good seats, section 13 near the end zone was all block seats. "The only complaint I've heard is that blocks don't cheer as much as individuals do so they shouldn't get blocks in section 18, but that's all a matter of opinion," Baxter said. Zinn, who draws the cards for block seats, said another change in block seating was that groups who are not drawn for one game, automatically have two cards placed in the drawing for the next game.. In a recent block distribution about 20 of those groups whose names were put in twice got drawn, Carter said. About 90 groups are drawn to fill about 5,500 seats reserved for blocks at each game, Zinn said. About 300 groups submit their names for each drawing. See TICKETS on page 10 AAUP represents faculty members By BEN PERKOWSM Staff Writer Truckers hav; the Teamsters, and ac tors have the Screen Actors Guild. And professors? They have the American Association of University Pro fessors. But the AAUP "is not a trade union in the sense that we do not go on strike," said Stephen Baxter, a Kenan professor of history and president of the UNC chapter. The AAUP, founded in 1915, is the only organization exclusively representing college and university faculty members. It is committed to protecting the principles of academic freedom and tenure, Baxter said. The association also establishes stan dards for academic due process, repre sents faculty interests in institutional forums and legislature agencies, gathers and distributes data on the economic status of the profession and encourages faculty participation in university govern ment. The AAUP has played a primary role in preventing major reductions in appro priations requested by the Reagan ad What mm y- sis " Wheel f ' s X PA Fall is here, and the warm days are growing further and further apart, so Chapel Hillians must enjoy the few balmy ones left.

House rejects amendment to The Associated Press WASHINGTON The House rejected an attempt Wednesday to cut off money for American peacekeep ing troops in Lebanon, a move that would have ordered the battered Marine force home in four months and defied President Reagan's Middle East policy. The vote was 274-153. After an emotional, 90-minute debate, members sided with a call by Democratic Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., to support the Republican administration and defeat the measure, a proposed amendment to a $247.3 billion defense spending bill that later was ap proved, 328-97. Some of the speaker's Democratic colleagues scoffed at the appeal for bipartisanship. "A bipartisan policy, if it is wrong, should be re jected; it should not be acquiesced in," said Rep. William Ratchford, D-Conn. And Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, D-N.Y., normally one of the House's most fervent hawks, added his ministration. Its members also have worked to increase funding for college WorkStudy programs. Active membership is open to all facul ty, research scholars, professional librarians and counselors with faculty status. Membership is also available to non-tenured faculty (of great importance to the AAUP), graduate students and the public. If the association feels its standards have been violated, it will approach the concerned party to seek a resolution of the case. If efforts are not successful, a committee will investigate and publish reports in Academe the AAUP's jour nal. These reports serve as a basis for dis cussion and possible censure of admini strations by action of the delegates to the AAUP annual meeting. The UNC chapter has 200 members. Recently they protested low salaries for librarians to the Faculty Council.

Voting against the amendment were 126 Democrats and 148 Republicans. Voting for it were 136 Democrats and only 17 Republicans. The vote marked the most direct congressional challenge of Reagan's decision to keep the Marines in Lebanon even after a terrorist bombing of their head- quarters in Beirut killed 238 servicemen. "We must not flag, our will must not cave, we must follow through," Rep. Clement Zablocki, D-Wis., chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said in opposing the effort led by Rep. Clarence D. Long, D-Md., to cut off money for ground operations in Lebanon after March 1. "If the victims were alive today, they would never want the Marines out of Lebanon until their mission was accomplished," said House Republican Leader Robert Michel of Illinois. "We in this country have to decide whether we are a sion again in two years. Baxter said the group also works hard at UNC in the Affirmative Action area and in getting equal pay for women facul ty. Chairman of the Faculty Council Doris Betts said she feels the group serves a useful purpose and often spearheads ac tivities involving faculty concerns. But the high cost of membership has hindered membership, she said. Annual dues for an active membership are $59. "Also, not all faculty members agree with the AAUP," Betts said. "A criticism I hear expressed is that the AAUP might be overly ready to support a faculty member even if he or she is wrong." Daniel Pollitt, a Kenan professor at the School of Law and former president of the group, said the number of members of the UNC chapter has remained fairly constant over the years, but becomes much more active and takes the lead in times of emergency. "The group is very effective because its members are influential and concerned people," he said.

Stewart McKinney, R-Conn., another pullout opponent. Passage of the overall bill came after other pending amendments were ruled out of order. They included amendments that would have ordered the pullout of U.S. invasion forces from the Caribbean island of Grenada 15 days after the bill was enacted and would have delayed the deployment of Pershing 2 nuclear missiles in Western Europe. The House had voted 253-156 in September to let the Marines stay at their posts in Beirut for up to 18 more months. The 1,600 troops were deployed to the war-torn city in September 1982 as part of a four nation peacekeeping force. But members shaken by the Oct. 23 truck-bombing of Marine headquarters say they fear the troops are occupying indefensible positions that invite further at? tacks and bloodshed. "To keep the Marines there 18 more months will only result in the killing of more Marines," said Long. X f A t 4 Doris Betts mental science and engineering and an ac tive member of the AAUP, said that in 1979 the .AAUP did an analysis of women's pay here at UNC and found strong evidence that females doing the same job as their male counterparts were being payed less. "As a result of that report, many cor rections were made when the information was brought to the attention of the pro per officials," he said. n 1Y f' flH O in Grenada The Associated Press WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger told President Reagan on Wednesday that "all hostilities have ceased" in Grenada and ordered a reduc tion in U.S. ground forces on the island. Meanwhile, the Pentagon sent some of the Navy and Marine forces that had par ticipated in the Grenada invasion to duty in and near Lebanon. "The secretary of defense, Caspar Weinberger, has informed the president that the military commanders in Grenada have informed him that in their determina tion, all hostilities have ceased there. The secretary has directed that U.S. forces begin a pullout within a few days," according to a statement issued by Pen tagon spokesman Cmdr. Fred Leeder. Pentagon sources said they expect elements of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division to start pulling back to Ft. Bragg within the next few days. No orders have yet been issued, said officials who spoke on condition they remain anonymous. Five planeloads of equipment left Grenada on Wednesday for Ft. Bragg in apparent preparation for the reduction in the U.S. ground troop strength on the Caribbean island. There was no immediate word on how many of the roughly 5,000 82nd Airborne troops will remain on the island, which U.S. Army Rangers and Marines stormed nine days ago, overcoming Cuban and Grenadian resistance. : Counting military support personnel, officials said there were about 6,000 American servicemen on the island Wednesday morning. Word that preparations were under way to return some of the 82nd Airborne troops to Ft. Bragg came after the Pen tagon announced that the aircraft carrier Independence and five escorting ships as well as 1,800 Marines aboard a five-ship amphibious force, would be detached from duty off Grenada and sent into the Mediterranean. Both the Independence battle group and the Navy amphibious force were bound for duty in the Lebanon area in late Octo CCC lacks members, agreement; won 't back any candidates in '83 By DOUG TATE Staff Writer . A decline in membership and a lack of consensus on issues and candidates will keep the Carrboro Community Coalition from being a force in this year's municipal elections in Carrboro, the CCC president said. ' But the coalition will be active in the 1984 and 1985 elections, said Anneliese Kennedy, CCC president. The coalition, a liberal and informal political group, has been a force in Carrboro elections since 1975. "We will be very active in the '84 elec tions, which are state and national elec tions, and also in the '85 elections, the next municipal elections," Kennedy said. Kennedy said the coalition is looking for new membership and new potential can didates instead of relying on former aldermen and candidates. Kennedy said interest and membership have declined because issues once sup ported by the coalition have been realized and there is no longer the sense of urgency.

The Pentagon said in Washington late Wednesday that 18 U.S. servicemen had been killed and 91 wounded in Grenada. It said 599 American citizens and 121 foreign nations have been flown off the island. In Grenada Wednesday, 57 wounded Cuban prisoners and 10 Cuban medics were flown from the island to Havana and greeted on the airport runway by President Fidel Castro. The Cubans wounded in the U.S.-led invasion of Grenada were flown from here to Barbados on an American military cargo plane, then transferred to a Red Cross jet for the flight to Havana. Castro stood at the foot of the gangway while the Cubans were taken from the plane and transferred to ambulances. He said a few words to each, but made no speech. The Cuban government claimed earlier that U.S. forces on Grenada had arrested two Cuban diplomats and were holding the Cuban diplomatic corps inside its em bassy in St. George's. Gaston Diaz, first secretary of the em bassy in Grenada, said the Cuban diplomats were being held "virtual prisoners." He said no one was allowed to leave the embassy except when guards twice took him and Ambassador Julian Torres Rizo out to meet Wednesday with State Department officials. White House spokesman Larry Speakes told reporters in Washington that U.S. forces surrounded the Cuban Embassy in Grenada in cooperation with Governor General Sir Paul Scoon's orders. Scoon, the British-appointed governor general who is attempting to establish a temporary government in Grenada, on Tuesday gave the Cuban diplomatic corps in Grenada 24 hours to get out. The Cuban government has said it would not withdraw its mission in St. George's until all Cuban prisoners were evacuated, and American troops would See GRENADA on page 10 force in Beirut AO "It's ah act of courage" to realize that the troops' mis sion has failed, he told colleagues. But O'Neill declared "it would be disastrous for us to cut and run." He said such a move would send a signal that the United States could be forced to bow to terrorism. Meanwhile Wednesday, Gen. Paul X. Kelley, the Marine Corps commandant, returned to the House Armed Services Committee for a second day to testify on the Beirut bombing and security precautions. He said the death count from the Lebanon blast could go to 239. Kelley was asked repeatedly whether he believed the mission of the Marines should be changed from a "presence" and peacekeeping to a combat role, so the troops might take more aggressive steps to protect themselves. He replied that such a decision was up to civilian leaders. See LEBANON on page 3 The coalition was formed in 1975 to promote long range planning, create a Carrboro bus system and build a slate of liberal candidates for the aldermanic and mayoral elections. The organization is an issue-oriented group rather than a support group for can didates, Kennedy said. The coalition is opposed by the Associa tion for a Better Carrboro, a conservative political faction. Each group selects issues and then sup ports the candidates that best represent the group's political philosophy. The ABC has endorsed incumbent John Boone and newcomers Doug Anderson and Zona Norwood for alderman seats. It has en dorsed Alderman Jim White for mayor.
