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,

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

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.

Ex-Met discusses commercials,
displays his low-key humor
By KATHY HOPPER
Staff Writer
Marv Throneberry is not your
typical celebrity. 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

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.

mon interests." 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

A request that the . Black Greek
Council, the United Christian Fellowship
and the BSM be considered allied
organizations with equal space in the

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
