Wednesday, January 18, 1984The Daily Tar Heel3 UNC may attract presidential candidates New business institute to be built By MARK STINNEFORD Staff Writer Four Democratic presidential can didates have expressed interest in speak ing before a nationat conference to be held at UNC in the spring. Walter Mondale and Sens. Alan Cranston, Gary Hart and Ernest Holl ings have said they will attend the con ference of the American Association of University Students, if their schedules permit, said AAUS Vice President Paul Parker. Parker, a UNC junior, emphasized that AAUS was interested in hearing more than campaign speeches from the candidates. "What we're asking people is to ad dress their views on education, not their political views or why they should be president of the United States," said Parker, who is also a Student Govern ment Executive Assistant. AAUS President Shep Moyle said the appearance of the candidates would help increase the visibility of his or ganization. "It would demonstrate to the entire nation, and particularly to college stu dents, that the AAUS has arrived as the national organization of college students," said Moyle, a senior at Duke University. Moyle said the AAUS conference would take on particular importance during an election year in which educa tion wa -Unsized. "These candidates, who have said they are concerned (about education), should come forth and bring their ideas and concrete proposals for implementa tion," he said. Other leaders AAUS hopes to attract to the conference include Secretary of Education Terrel Bell, former President Jimmy Carter, and Jack Peltason, president of the American Council of Education. The conference, to be held March 29-April 1, is expected to attract more than 200 representatives from 68 schools. It will concentrate on improv ing the efficiency of student govern ments, Parker said. As part of workshops on effective student programs, UNC will conduct a presentation on its Student Part-Time Employment Service, delegates from Brown University will discuss their "Keep Brown Beautiful" program and Purdue University will outline "House Sharing," an off-campus housing locator service. In addition, UNC pro fessors will conduct a discussion on student-faculty communication. "The conference will strengthen Stu- aviit uovernment," Parker said. "It will strengthen the services we have here (at UNQ." The conference will also mark the un veiling of a computer system to link the AAUS schools, Parker said. UNI COLL Corp. of Philadelphia has donated more than $100,000 to support the system. The computer link will allow the universities to share informa tion on common areas of concern such as race relations, women's issues, and student alcohol use, Parker said. "There are many programs going on at other universities we know nothing about," he said. "It (the computer system) means we won't have to start from ground zero (when addressing problems)." AAUS, which describes itself as the "first American student think tank," is the student counterpart of the American Association of Universities, an organization consisting of the uni versity presidents. AAUS seeks to im prove the effectiveness of student governments, promotes communication between students and administrators and conducts research projects on student concerns.

Cut cable interrupts phone service to Chapel Hill Long-distance phone lines were out of service throughout part of North Carolina Tuesday afternoon. Nancy Williamson, assistant manager of the Raleigh Southern Bell office, said long distance lines were out from 12 noon to about 5 p.m. The cause of the problem was a cut toll v.rrier cable, Williamson said. "People in Chapel Hill cannot call long-distance," William son said, " and people in Raleigh can not reach Chapel Hill numbers. Other than that we do not know the extent of the loss of service." Southern Bell and American Telegraph and Telephone offici als were unavailable for comment at press time. Selection resumes in Klan trial The Associated Press WINSTON-SALEM Jury selection in the civil rights trial of nine Klansmen and Nazis resumed in secret Tuesday as attorneys for eight North Carolina news papers asked U.S. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger to stop the proceedings. On Monday, a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals meeting in Charlotte upheld the trial judge's decision to continue secret jury questioning. The application requesting the stay was filed Tuesday morning in Washington, where a spokesman for the clerk's office of the U.S. Supreme Court said a deci sion was pending. None was announced Tuesday, however. Hugh Stevens, at torney for The News and Observer of Raleigh and The Raleigh Times, said he expected a ruling Wednesday. The nine Ku Klux Klansmen and neo Nazis are charged with civil rights viola tions in connection with the Nov. 3, 1979, shooting deaths of five Communist Workers Party members during a CWP "Death to the Klan" rally in Greensboro. Five of the defendants were found inno cent of murder charges in a 1980 state trial. U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Flan nery swore in 24 more potential jurors and began questioning them individually before attorneys in the case and the de fendants. The newspapers appealing Flannery's decision to close jury selection are The Charlotte Observer and The Charlotte , News;, The. News and Observer and . The Raleigh Times; the Greensboro Daily News and The Greensboro Record; and the Winston-Salem Journal and the Sen tinel of Winston-Salem. Attorneys for the newspapers have 60 days to appeal after the appeals court issues a written opinion of the ruling. An opinion did not accompany Monday's order. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the criminal trial itself cannot be closed, the issue is less clear regarding various court hearings and activities held before the start of the actual trial. Stevens said the decision to seek an emergency stay from Burger was "simply seeking the chief justice to exercise his emergency powers to let us back in the courtroom before his jury selection pro cedure ends." ... , .

Kenan Jr. Center, a facility that will host, among several other things, the new Kenan Institute for the Study of Private Enterprise. The five-story building will have 60,000 square feet of floor space for its occupants, which will also include the main offices for the Kenan Fund, the financial supporter for the Center and the Institute. . ' O'Brien-Atkins Associates of Chapel Hill, the architects for the facilty, have designed the center to have a combination of classical and' contemporary features. Construction for the facili ty is expected to start early this year and will be completed early in 1986. It will be located next to the new Student Activities Center on South Campus. The Institute, which will work in conjunction with the School of Business Administration, is the type of facility that is a rarity in business schools across the nation. "My guess is that there may be three dozen of these out of some 600 business schools around the country," said John Evans, dean of the School of Business Administration. Evans said the creation of the Institute would mean only one new professorship being opened, a position that would entail teaching and research. Evans said the new Institute would also bring more courses to choose from among the business curriculum, "It will produce additional electives to M.B.A. and under graduate students," he said. The main functions of the Institute, as outlined by the direc tors of the Fund, will be "creating an understanding of the role of private enterprise; creating a mechanism through which an improved understanding of private enterprise can be translated into effective public policy; and fostering and encouraging the type of behavior that levels to survival and success in a com petitive environment." One of those directors of the fund is Frank Kenan, a descen dant of the man for whom the institute is named, who said this institute is being created to help close the communications gap between business and academia, and to give support to the free enterprise system. "Look at all the freedoms we have," he said. "The freedom of religion, the freedom of the press, the freedom of free enter prise. We can continue to have these freedoms, if we support them." Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III said the Institute will just make a good thing better with its addition to the School of Business Administration, "one of the tops in the nation." Fordham added that he expected the Institute would be able to "draw on other disciplines for strength," such as political science, law, and government. Trivia fans in pursuit of new game By CLARICE BICKFORD Staff Writer Who said: "... When I look at my children, I say, 'Lillian, you should have stayed a virgin' "? Who said: "Ronald Reagan doesn't dye his hair, he bleaches his face"? What did Mark Twain put last on a 27-item list of things to be rescued in the event of a boardinghouse fire? What is the name of Superman 's dog? These are only four of the 6,000 trivia questions found in America's hottest new board game, "Trivial Pursuit." The questions range from mundane to bizarre, obvious to off-the-wall. The rules, unlike many of the ques tions, are simple. Two to 24 people can play. The game is played on a 20-inch by 20-inch multi-colored board with a wheel shaped pattern. There are 73 spaces on the board: six category headquarters, 12 roll again spaces, 54 category spaces, and the central hub. Players must correctly answer ques tions in each of six categories after having landed in each of the category head quarters. The six categories are geogra phy, entertainment, history, art and literature, science and nature, and sports and leisure. The categories are color coded to correspond to spaces on the board. After a player has answered questions correctly in all the category headquarters, he must land in the center of the board and answer a question in the category of the other player's choice. "Trivial Pursuit" originated in Canada and is now manufactured in the United States by Selchow and Righter (of Par cheesi and Scrabble fame). The game is growing in popularity throughout the country and, in addition to the Master Game, three new card sets are available: the Silver Screen Edition (all about the movies), the Baby Boomer Edition (from atomic power to flower power), and the All-Star Sports Edition (all about sports). Each edition has six new categories and 6,000 new questions. "I am looking forward to getting my first addition to the game," .Tripp Doepner, a sophomore from Winston Salem, said. Doepner has played the game about 25 times since Christmas and said that his fraternity brothers at Larhb- oa Cm Alpha nave become tamiliar with most of the questions and answers in the Master Game. The Master Game ranges in price from $24 to $40, and the new card sets range from $20 to $30 each. Although the game is expensive, it is in demand. Charles Lambeth, a senior from Thomasville, said his mother bought the game in New York.. Marc. Huber, a freshman, found the game in New Jersey while home over Christmas break. J Triangle area toy stores have been out of stock since Christmas, but most are ex pecting new shipments in the next week to 10 days. The game is not only for trivia buffs, said Doepner. "I highly recommend this game to anyone, especially an individual who feels he does not have an interest in trivia, for he may find out that he does." For students interested in playing Trivial Pursuit, beware, Trivial Pursuit may be hazardous to studying: "I'll have to quit playing because I won't get any studying done," Lambeth said. The answers to the four trivia questions are: 1) Lillian Carter, 2) Johnny Carson, 3) Mothers-in-law, and 4) Krypto. What ? You haven't donated blood yet this year? 3 ?
