In any event, the shingles should be safe for reindeer by Extra paperwork is required Some clerks decline By TRACY ADAMS Staff Writer ' The passage of the Safe Roads Act by the North Carolina Legislature has created a deluge of paperwork for the state's county clerks, and some of them have chosen not to collect fees associated with the new law. Clerks in 15 counties have decided not to collect cer tain fees, taking advantage of the law's wording, which states that either the county clerk or a designated person would collect them. The fees apply only to defendants sentenced to do community service work or to attend the Alcohol and Drug Education Training School. The fee is $100 if the defendant is assigned to one program or $50 for each program if assigned to both. The money goes into the state's General Fund. "The clerks felt they just couldn't handle any more work," said Jim Scarcella, division director of the victim and justice service office in Raleigh. In addition to the extra paperwork for the Safe Roads Act, the clerks were given another responsibility in July when a new law requiring more procedures for support payments was passed. The clerks not collecting the fees are in Avery, Catawba, Cleveland, Cherokee, Davidson, Davie, Gaston, Graham, Lincoln, Macon, Mitchell, Orange, Author: UNC doing little against racism By KEITH BRADSHER I Staff Writer Administrators and students must unflinchingly begin to fight the structural and attitudinal elements of racism at UNC, said Judy Katz, an associate pro fessor at the University of Oklahoma and the author of White A wareness: A Hand book of Anti-Racism Training, at an "Anti-Racism Workshop" Monday. "This University is kind of doing some things on the surface but very little in depth," Katz said after the seven-hour seminar, which was sponsored by the Carolina Union Human Relations Com mittee. Eighteen students seven members of the Carolina Union Activities Board, five members of the sponsoring committee, four members of the Campus Y, and one representative each from the Panhellenic Council and the Student Attorney General's staff attended the event. Thirty students, representing about a dozen campus organizations, had reserv ed places two weeks in advance for the seminar. The seminar included two projects for small groups and a videotape of a 1970 ABC news special as well as discussions of the meaning of racism and its cure. For the first project, participants form ed four groups to discuss the structuring of an "ideally racist" university. One "filiTirfrr in 'Off" ' Union, Yancey and Watauga counties, Scarcella said. "All we can do is suggest that the clerks collect, the fees," said Dallas Cameron, assistant director of the state Administrative Office of the Courts. "We can't insist they do something that is not stated in the state statutes." In the counties where the clerks have chosen not to collect the fees, community service coordinators have been appointed to collect the fees by the department of crime control and public safety. Although the clerks can choose not to collect the fees, they still must fill out all the new forms associated with the law. Joan Terry, assistant superior court clerk for Orange County, said, "The forms go along with the processing of the case, and there was nothing we could do about that." Terry said the main reason the Orange County clerks decided not to collect the fees was to make the process more efficient. "The fees need to be paid before the defendant starts the program," Terry said. "Now the coordinator will collect his own fees and it will cut out one step of the process." Terry said the new procedures required more time in court. "There are several forms that must be signed by the defendant and the judge, so they need to be com pleted while both are in the courtroom," Terry said. Terry said she processed six to eight cases Monday and mmm J 'J r : J &amwNivftw ' otto, fte Judy Katz ' group, which labeled their fictitious in stitutions "Subtlety U.," presented hous ing and hiring policies in effect at UNC. "The University of North Carolina is a racist university," group member Sally Pont, a sophomore from Northford, Connecticut, said. "And it's not even subtle about it." In the second project, participants gathered by organizational membership to formulate action strategies to end racism within their institutions. The videotape, "The Eye of the Storm," showed a third grade teacher in an all-white Iowa town discriminating among her students on the basis of eye color in an attempt to teach the pain caused by racism. The children readily broke friendships and began name calling on the basis of eye color. "I watched what had been thoughtful, wonderful third-graders turn into nasty, discriminating people in 15 minutes," the teacher said.

He wears the usual interview costume complete with navy blue blazer, maroon tie and gray flannel pants, but he would probably feel more at home in a New York Mets uniform. "Marvelous Marv" stumbled into fame. He went into minor league baseball out of high school and played for the New York Yankees and Kansas City. Then, in 1962, he played for the first Mets team. He was first baseman for the expansion Mets team and unexpectedly became the darling of the fans. He retired in 1964 after 13 years in baseball. In 1975 Miller Beer brought Throneberry out of retirement to advertise a new low-calorie beer, Miller Lite. "I don't know why they asked me to do this," he said, repeating the line associated with his low-key style. Once again Throneberry became the darling of many fans. "A New York agency came up with the idea, and it worked so well that I used it three different times," he said with the unassuming charm that characterizes his commercial ap pearances. Throneberry said filming the com mercials was a lot of fun. "We kid around a lot, pull jokes on each other. "At the board meeting commercial three years ago we were all sitting Chapel Hill, North Carolina DTHZane A. Saunders that it was nearly 6 p.m. when the session was completed. The amount of time it takes to complete a case depends on many things, including the attorneys, the judge and how a defendant pleads. "We haven't seen a backlog of work yet," Terry said. "But it will get worse when we have more DWI cases." Barbara Blanks is the DWI coordinator for Orange and Chatham counties, and, like Terry, she expects the burden of the paperwork associated with the fees to become a problem once her caseload increases. The only problem she has had with collecting the money is that the state office of victims and justice ser vices does not want her to accept payment in cash, she said. All payments made in court must be made in cash, so those people think they are doing the right thing when they bring cash. Blanks said she also thought the state was unprepared for the coordinators to collect the fees and that the Legislature assumed the clerks would collect them. Blanks said she was told last week that she had been designated to collect the fees in Orange County, although she had been doing it since the middle of Oc tober. Cameron said he expected most of the clerks to con tinue collecting the fees. He said he hoped the system for processing the cases would become smoother and that some of the clerks not collecting fees now would do so in the future. around a big table. We were supposed to be voting on who was the most popular. Then Lee Meredith, the blonde, stands up and says, 'We've got a winner.' She hands the paper to Rodney Dangerfield. "Then Bubba Smith, this huge guy stands up and takes the paper away from Rodney, crumbles it up and throws it away, then says, 'The winner is Bubba Smith.' So on about the third take. he stands up and says 'the winner is...' and just stands there. He forgot his own name. So all of us held up cue cards saying 'My name is Bub ba Smith." Throneberry ended the commercial by saying. "I knew this was a bad idea." Once again his low-key humor stole the show. "If you just sit and watch us shoot commercials you'd say this is really gonna be bad. Once they get it back in the studio and put it all together, it turns out great." Throneberry said he frequently met people who said, "You look familiar. Oh yeah, you're the one in the com mercials." "I get recognized more in airports because people go through airports looking for people to recognize." "I get recognized less at home (in ColUersville, Tenn.). I guess because everyone expects me to be in New York or Hollywood." A modest man from a small Ten nessee town working in New York? He still hasn't figured out why they asked him to do commercials. Reagan to joint defense The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Reagan agreed Tuesday on joint defense measures with Israel to counter what he called a growing Soviet threat in the Mid ,dle East, and stood firmly behind a plan for withdrawal of foreign troops from Lebanon that Syria is thwarting. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, ending two days of talks with Reagan, stressed that the May 17 troop withdrawal agreement will be im plemented "in all its parts" despite Syria's bitter resistance. U.S. officials rul ed out any move to made the accord more palatable to Syria. Thus, the outlook for breaking the deadlock that has kept Israeli, Syrian and Palestinian forces in Lebanon remained dim, as Reagan bade farewell to Shamir and began preparing for a visit Thursday by Lebanese President Amin Gemayel. Reagan said his discussions with Shamir focused on "the agony of Lebanon and the threat there to our com BSM space in Chase advocated by committee By STEVE FERGUSON Staff Writer The Chase Union Advisory Committee assigned to make recommendations for the re-establishment of the Black Student Movement's Upendo Lounge, voted Tuesday to recommend to the Union's Board of Directors that the BSM be allocated approximately 2,000 square feet upstairs in Chase Hall. The committee, composed of three Campus Governing Council members and three BSM members, discussed the problems involving the renovation of Chase Hall. Because of the loss of the Upendo due to renovations, the BSM has requested replacement space in Chase Hall. However, BSM President Sherrod Banks said the space would be shared with other campus organizations, after the BSM set its own dates to use it. Robert Harrel, president of the United Christian Fellowship and a member of the BSM agreed. "We think that in the best interest of the BSM, we need that space." Also included in the committee's pro posal were: A provision that Upendo reservations be made through the Chase Union staff after the BSM has reserved time slots. A proposal that the BSM president be allowed to appoint a supervisor to the Chase Union board of supervisors, if there will be more than one. If only one supervisor is assigned to the Union, then the BSM president would appoint half of the staff. In each case, the union would have final say in accepting or rejecting the employees. t s.

They disagreed on several issues, including the speed of Israeli set tlements on the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River, but forged stronger ties between their countries. Their most significant step was to establish a military commission to plan joint maneuvers in the Mediterranean region. Reagan said the purpose was to respond to a "mutual threat posed by in creased Soviet involvement in the Middle East." A senior administration official, who spoke only on condition that he not be identified, said the maneuver plans amounted to "a message to Syria," which the Soviets have armed with missiles and hundreds of advisers. The official said moderate Arab governments should not be alarmed. The visit also paid off for Shamir with a U.S. promise to resume delivery of American-made cluster bomb artillery shells. Delivery was suspended in July 1982 after Israeli troops stormed across See ISRAEL on page 4 A measure to make Upendo's closing time midnight on Sunday through Wednesday, and 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. A request that the . Black Greek Council, the United Christian Fellowship and the BSM be considered allied organizations with equal space in the Upendo Lounge. Howard D. Henry, Carolina Union director, was uncertain of the legality of the BSM proposal regarding space alloca tion. "I doubt that the board of directors can give that space to the BSM," he said. "The whole space of Chase Union has been built for use by all." Union president Lucia Halpern said she felt a better way of solving the pro blem would be to allow the BSM to simp ly have priority in scheduling all their events at the start of the semester. Banks said it was important for the BSM to have a home base, a psychological feeling of belonging in one place. "We want a place BSM can call its own," he said. The committee hkd a lengthy debate on the BSM proposal to appoint a supervisor, or half the staff, of the future Chase Union. Banks explained why a BSM member should be on the staff. "If there is a change in the operation of Chase Hall, we want to know," he said adding that some one was needed there who could keep him informed of policy changes. Harrell added that the BSM wasn't looking for control. "We just want to See BSM on page 4 r w fl , -5 DTHZane A. Saunders n y
