It is a term commonplace to college students today as many of them are needing more than four years to complete requirements for graduation. From 1974 through 1978, roughly 20 percent of the entering freshmen class took five years to graduate, according to the Office of Records and Registration. There are many different reasons for students to exceed the prescribed four years of undergraduate study, said Anne Coenen, student services manager for the College of Arts and Sciences. Also, there are different kinds of fifth year students, she said. She said acquiring academic eligibility to graduate was one of the main reasons that students continued into a fifth year. Coenen also said there could be an impetus for very bright students to stay past their fourth year. "I think one of the number of reasons for students staying an extra semester or an extra year, is obtaining the 2.0 quality point average," Coenan said. "On the other hand, very bright students will often delay their own graduation by intentionally not taking necessary courses so that they can stay on an extra year. "Usually, the reason they would stay on an extra year is that they are told their chances of getting into graduate school are bet ter the next year," Coenen added. "Therefore, they stay in school because they don't want a year long break between graduating and entering graduate school." While many students stay in school for a better chance at graduate school, others continue in hopes of finding a better job by graduating in December instead of May, she said. "We've had a lot of recruiting for December graduates right now," said Pat Carpenter, associate director of career planning and placement services. "Obviously, a lot of accounting firms are recruiting now for the tax season corning up. Banking, sales, and manufacturing management are other fields recruiting on campus presently." But she added that she did not see much advantage in waiting until December to graduate because most large corporate organizations had training programs in both June and January. Another important reason for a student to stay for a fifth year is employment, said Elizabeth Harris, clerk-typist in the College of Arts and Sciences. "Students may have to work while in school; they may have a nine- or 12-hour load instead of 15 so that they can work their way through school," Harris said. . r , Harris said she was an example of someone wHo Had to support herself while working her way through school here at the Univer sity. "The only way I could go to school was to work," she said. "I went to school for three years and then I stayed out for a while and worked. In 1979, 1 began working for the College of Arts and Sciences. "Working in an academic environment inspired me to finish my degree," Harris added. "So, in 1980, I started taking two courses a semester while continuing to work for a living. I graduated in June of 1983." Aside from all beneficial reasons, some people graduate late because of simple laziness, Harris said. "We have some students that goof off," she said. "They don't have any direction. They have mom and dad to support them so they just do not apply themselves. "They know that they have a job with the family business so . they are in no hurry to get out." ; few v4- it v-V.

But in West Germany, where all 108 Pershing missiles are to be sited, Chancellor Helmut Kohl said the Soviets had signaled possible new concessions at the Soviet-U.S. talks on medium-range weapons specifically a willingness to drop their demand that British and French nuclear arsenals be included. . U.S. arms negotiator Paul H. Nitze met for 214 hours with Soviet delegate Yuri Kvitsinsky in Geneva, and said the talks were continuing. Another session was set for Wednesday. Soviet officials were noncommital when asked at a news conference in Moscow whether the threat to leave the Geneva talks meant a temporary walkout or a longer one. Vadim Zagladin, a Communist Party Central Com mittee official, also said deployment of U.S. medium range missiles would have a negative impact on the parallel talks on strategic missiles. But he did not say whether the Soviets were threatening a walkout from the strategic arms reduction talks as well. In Britain, where the first shipment of cruise missiles arrived Monday, a group of women continued their efforts to blockade the Greenham Common U.S. Air Force base. Police arrested five protesters, bringing to 616 the number arrested in demonstrations in Britain this week. British Defense Ministry officials have refused to say how many cruise missiles have arrived, but the first 16 of 96 due to be sited there are expected by the end of the year if there is no agreement in the arms talks. The weapons are among 572 cruise and Pershing 2 missiles NATO plans to deploy in Europe over the next five years to counter Soviet SS-20s aimed at Western Europe. : : " ;.-:."i.y In Moscow, an editorial in the party newspaper Pravda distributed in advance by the Tass news agency said Reagan's latest missile reduction offer is aimed at "drowning hopes" for an agreement. According to today's editorial, the U.S. offer is un acceptable because it does not include British and French missiles and would allow deployment of U.S. medium-range missiles. Pravda said Reagan's offer would give NATO dou ble the medium-range nuclear strength of the Soviets, and said the offer was intended to "cover up" the ar rival of U.S. missiles in Western Europe. Reagan proposed an interim agreement allowing the United States and the Soviet Union a total of 420 medium-range warheads, each. In the last public statement by the Soviets, President Yuri V. Andropov late last month told Pravda the Soviets are willing to cut back to 140 medium-range missiles, each carrying three warheads. NATO should forego its Pershing and cruise missiles in return, Andropov said. He said the West already has 162 medium-range missiles in Western Europe those belonging to Bri tain and France. The United States rejects that argu ment, saying those missiles are independent arsenals not under NATO control. But in Bonn, Kohl said, "The Soviet Union evident ly has floated new proposals at one minute to twelve." In an interview on West German television, Kohl addressed rumors in Bonn that the Soviets had made a new offer at the Geneva talks. The unconfirmed rumors in Bonn Thursday also said the Soviets in dicated they are willing to reduce their medium-range arsenal to 120 triple-warhead SS-20 missiles; in other words, 360 warheads. Kohl did not confirm this. West Germany is not part of the Geneva talks, although Bonn has been kept informed by the Americans. The country's Social Democratic Party will formally vote against deploying new U.S. nuclear missiles in Europe at a two-day congress opening today in Cologne. " The opposition party lacks the votes to override the right-center coalition in a parliamentary vote next week on stationing the missiles in Germany but hopes to promote some last-minute opposition in Kohl's government. Former leaders say Solidarity is not silenced by martial law Frats set alcohol policy to support new law By ANDY HODGES Staff Writer Representatives from UNC fraternities met Wednesday night to discuss ways to remove some of the "undeserved attention they believe they have been receiving from local police regarding North Carolina's new alcohol laws. Ran Randolph, president of Delta Kappa Ep silon, called the meeting of the Interfraternity Council and the Fraternity Presidents Associa tion to discuss ways in which they might demonstrate to Chapel Hill police that they were making an effort to stop underaged drinking. Randolph, who said his fraternity house was "raided" by police during a private party three or four weeks ago, said, "We got by with some things that others might not get by with because we were the first ones. "Our house has been hit and others are going to get hit, and they're going to get nailed to the wall unless they're prepared for it," he said. Randolph suggested, and the group unanimously approved, that the ifrCFPA write a letter to the Chapel Hill police outlining measures they would take in the future to keep minors from being served alcohol at fraternity functions. The measures discussed included checking the identification of all party-goers and stamping those who were of legal drinking age, having fraternity members of legal age serving alcohol to guests of legal age and having alternate beverages available for minors. "I almost feel like they are out to get fraterni ties in particular," Randolph said. "Obviously, if they look long enough and hard enough they're going to find someone who's drinking underage; that's just going to happen. It's going to happen at bars and private parties, too." IFC president Brian Hunnicutt expressed similar thoughts. "We are being targeted," he said. "Police are not going to come into the dorms and they're not going to the Rams Club members with liquor flowing in the parking lot. "We're the most visible," he said. Steve Hutson, assistant dean in charge of fraternity affairs, said he has met with members of the Chapel Hill Police Department, including Chief Herman Stone, and said the police were not focusing their efforts to enforce the new laws on fraternities. "They're not going after fraternities, but there are a couple of officers who are pretty perturbed by things they have been involved with," Hutson said. "It's not from the top level." Hutson said that police usually came to fra ternity functions only when they received com plaints, as they did with the DKE house incident, or when they had reason to believe something il legal was going on. "The situation is that if you are having a private party. . .police can't come in without cause reasonable cause," he said. "If they can see your window from the street and they see someone drinking they think is underage, then they have reasonable cause." In such cases police would not need permission to enter the house, he said. See DRINKING on page 5 Tar Heels take on Duke under the lights By FRANK KENNEDY Assistant Sports Editor Look for a few milestones to be set Saturday as the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils hook horns in Kenan Stadium. Aside from the fact that this will be the first UNC home game played under lights, players on both squads will be trying to finish the 1983 season by setting some impressive statistical marks. Duke quarterback Ben Bennett, if allowed to go to the air enough times, should be able to throw for at least 246 yards and become the NCAA Division I all-time leading passer, sur passing the likes of Jim McMahon and John Elway. UNC tailback Tyrone Anthony, in his final game in Kenan Stadium, needs 169 yards to hit the 1,000-yard plateau. If he is given the ball at least 25-30 times, Anthony stands a solid chance at accomplishing that feat against a Blue Devil defense which has yielded an average of 436.5 yards per game this year. It would be the second time in Tar Heel history that two backs have sur passed 1 ,000 yards in a season, as tailback Ethan Horton enters today's game with exactly 1,000. And then there are the seniors potential All Americans andor future pros. For UNC, offen sive tackle Brian Blados, offensive right tackle Joe Conwell, Anthony, defensive tackle William Fuller, linebacker Bill Sheppard and comerback Walter Black will play their final home game. For Duke, Bennett, all-purpose tailback Mike Grayson and wide receiver Mark Militello will be playing their final game. Period. But despite all that, is this game really all that important? After all, UNC has slid out of the Top 20 and is looking for a mediocre bowl bid, and Duke has come close to not even winning a single football game this year. So, is it that big? "Every team has a the game and this is the game for Duke," Blue Devil coach Steve Sloan said this week. The game, indeed. A second straight victory over the Tar Heels would have to be considered a saviour in what has been a season to forget in Durham. At this point, Sloan and company would have to consider a 4-7 record as something of a triumph after an 0-7 start. But will the Tar Heels have the necessary inten sity, or will they be as flat as they were at Virginia last week? Coach Dick Crum: "Playing Duke is always incentive enough to get the players up." Crum said that the prospect of playing in the Peach Bowl if his team wins Saturday has had no effect on the mental preparation. That would seem to make a lot of sense con sidering the attitude of the Tar Heels after the Virginia loss, when many players suggested the team wasn't playing well enough to even deserve a bid. Yet, the Tar Heels finished 1982 with a 23-17 loss to the Blue Devils to fall to 7-4, but ac cepted a Sun Bowl bid anyway. Crum said that even if the team wanted to go to a bowl after a Duke loss this year, he seriously doubted an in vitation would be extended. Interestingly, this game will probably not come down to how many yards Bennett passes for, or whether or not Anthony and Horton can break through the sluggish Duke defense. 'In all See DUKE on page 5 By KEITH BRADSHER 1 Staff Writer The Polish trade union Solidarity has suffered set backs under martial law, but the idea that it represented cannot be silenced, recently exiled Solidarity leaders Leszek Waliszewski and Tadeusz Kemnitz said Thursday night. The two leaders of the outlawed union made brief statements and answered questions at length before an audience of about 75 people in Murphey Hall. The event, part of Human Rights Week at UNC, was sponsored by the Association of International Students. With the exception of Kemnitz's opening remarks, both activists spoke only in Polish. John Krynski, chairman of the Department of Slavic Languages and literatures at Duke University, translated the discus sion. The imposition of martial law has not destroyed the organization of Solidarity, said Waliszewski, who was one of the two or three most important Solidarity ac tivists behind Lech Walesa. "There are Solidarity structures in practically every factory," he said. "It is still a mass movement showing the mass disaffection of the people." Solidarity still has 1.5 to 2 million dues-paying members, he said. Dues are going to underground publications and to the families of arrested Solidarity activists. The movement can never be completely crushed, he said. "At the first favorable moment this will come to the fore stronger than ever before." Solidarity was yet another expression of national consciousness by a nation that has enjoyed only 20 years of true independence since 1795, said . Waliszewski. "The aspiration of the Polish people. . . -found its expression in a great idea whose name is Solidarity," he said. "This idea cannot be destroyed. Almost the whole of the Polish nation is the better for the idea." Solidarity mixes nationalism with respect for religion and traditional values, Waliszewski said. "Despite an enslavement that lasted about a century and a half, Poles have always felt like a free nation. "The communists are exploiting Poland economically and destroying the ethical and . moral values of the country." Sudden economic depression, food shortages and the character of the communist system caused the tur moil that led to the emergence of Solidarity, Kemnitz said. From the establishment of Solidarity in August 1980, to its suppression under martial law on Dec. 13, 1981, the most important concession the government granted was the recognition of an independent ' Solidarity, he said. . "We started to build an organization of 10 million people from the widest range of social and occupa tional groups." Both of Solidarity's proposals to combat economic depression would have ultimately led to the elimina tion of the absolute control the communist party now exercises over Poland, Kemnitz said. Had the union's proposals been followed, the nation would have seen the return of many democratic processes, he said. Waliszewski agreed. "Solidarity's first goal was to establish democracy, to democratize society. Solidarity was primarily interested in majority rule." Kemnitz said the attempt to crush Solidarity proves that the communist system cannot be reformed. "The only way to change it is to remove it, probably through war." "Solidarity's first goal was to establish democracy, to democratize society. Solidarity was primarily interested in majority rule." Leszek Waliszewski Both activists said that Western nations should not forget Solidarity. "We must remember that the repres sions in Poland are fierce, even children and teen-agers being killed, beaten, and tortured," said Waliszewski. And the West can help the Solidarity underground resistance movement, he said. Western nations should send radio, printing and photography equipment to Poland through Solidarity representatives in the United States not through the Central Intelligence Agency, he said. Waliszewski was arrested the night of Dec. 13, 1981, and held for one year and 10 days. A former worker at a Fiat auto factory, Waliszewski became the leader of 1 .5 million unionized workers in the Polish province of Silesia. Kemwitz, also a full-time, paid activist in Silesia, evaded arrest until January 1982, after escaping police on Dec. 13. He served four months in a prison cell with 15 other men before being released when he con tracted a near-fatal kidney ailment. The two activists encouraged members of the audi ence to sign a petition to the United Nations. The peti tion tells the story of seven top Solidarity leaders and . four dissident intellectuals soon to be tried for activities against the regime.
