Finance Committee meets
CGC awards Student Government $1,6 19
By BEN PERKOWSKI
Staff Writer
The Campus Governing Council
Finance Committee Monday night
awarded Student Government $1,619 to
cover anticipated expenses for the rest of
the semester.
Student Body President Paul Parker
said the money would be used to pay for
basic operating costs and to start work on
various projects promised during the
campaign. "We have about 15 project
task forces that have no development
funds," he said. "It would have been
tragic if we had to wait until next fall to
get started."
"We were looking down a bumpy road
today when we found out that we essen
tially had no money to work with,"
Parker said.
Parker added that a major project that
needed some development funding was
an attempt to increase employment and
;.wages for, students employed with Area
VbOd Services. He"said Student Govern-""
ment hoped to. increase employment 25
percent.
Other projects expected to get started
this semester include: a pamphlet detail
ing the changes to occur in Student
Government; a voter registration drive;
work on a National Student Savings
Card; and research on the dorm phone
issue.
The Finance Committee also voted
unanimously to give $2,800 to the
Carolina Course Review so they could
print 5,000 issues next semester.
The committee agreed to lower the
fund raising goal for the Carolina Sym
pSsiunTT)ecause'Uhiverslty departments
were writing checks directly to the
speakers rather than to the Symposium
and thus not adding to the Symposium's
fund raising totals. The outside checks
would be itemized and the amount would
be deducted from the budget categories
the Symposium chooses.
The committee also opened up a
category to allow the Symposium to use
their surplus funds to make a permanent
record of 'the Symposium. Jack Mohr,
co-chairperson for the Carolina Sym
posium, said the speeches would be
videotaped and printed up in a journal
form.
Concerning late requisitions filed by
the Symposium, the Finance Committee
agreed to consider three phone bills for
the Symposium as non-accountable and
two other requisitions as late. If the Sym
posium gets five late requisitions the CGC
will freeze their funds until a meeting can
be called to discuss a course of action.

Democratic presidential rivals Walter
F. Mondale and Gary Hart barnstormed
through the South on Monday, reaching
out for undecided voters in a frantic, final
day of campaigning before the delegate
rich round of primaries and caucuses on
"Super Tuesday."
Dark horse contenders John Glenn,
George McGovern and Jesse Jackson
made their final appeals, as well. But
public opinion polls and party leaders in
dicated the race was between Mondale
and Hart in most if not all of the nine
states where Democratic presidential con
tests were on the schedule.
Mondale, hoping for a southern revival
after four straight losses to Hart, attacked
the Colorado , senator at stop after cam
paign stop through Alabama, Florida and
Georgia. .
"Don't be impressed by people who
make an appearance on the right side at
the last minute," Mondale said.
"There's a big difference between peo
ple who just vote right and people who
are heavily, deeply and emotionally in
volved in the great issues of our time," he
told reporters after campaigning in
Miami Beach, Fla., as a defender of
Social Security.
Hart canceled a last-minute trip to
Massachusetts after late polls indicated he
holds a comfortable lead there. He is
favored to win the Rhode Island primary,
as well.
Like Mondale, the Colorado senator
scheduled eight stops across the three
southern states holding primaries.
Hart said Mondale is beholden to
special interests, and added, "Many of .
those special interests inside and outside
the Democratic Party have opposed my
.candidacy."
": ;There are 511 delegates at stake o;
"Super Tuesday," more than one-fourth
- the total needed to win nomination at the
Democratic National Convention next
summer. In addition to the five primaries,
Washington state, Oklahoma, Nevada,
Hawaii and American Samoa are holding
caucuses. The results of a write-in
primary for Americans living abroad also
will become known on Tuesday.
Mondale, the one-time front-runner,
now struggling to save his candidacy from
collapse, is hoping he can stop Hart in
one of more states on "Super Tuesday."
Hart has run up successive victories in
New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and
Wyoming, and is hoping the nine pri
maries and caucuses will demonstrate his
campaign of "new ideas" has nationwide
appeal. '
Public opinion polls pointed to close
races in all three southern states.
In Atlanta, a weekend survey of 350
likely Georgia voters put Mondale at 35
percent and Hart at 34 percent, with a
margin of error of five percentage points.
A Washington Post-ABC poll taken
over three days last Week in Florida had
Hart ahead of Mondale, 41 percent to 33
percent, although the gap appeared to be
narrowing as the week progressed.
A poll taken for the same organizations
in Alabama showed Mondale ahead 38
percent to 28 percent. The surveys in
Florida and Alabama, as well as
Massachusetts, indicated that more than
10 percent of the voters in each state have
not yet made up their minds.
Glenn, Jackson and McGovern finish
ed poorly in all the polls, and they were
faced with what seemed increasingly like
a fight for political survival. McGovern
has said he will withdraw if he doesn't
place first or second in the Massachusetts
primary.
Glenn has been campaigning non-stop
in the South since the Feb. 28 New
Hampshire primary.
Standing outside the Jefferson County
courthouse in Birmingham, Ala., Glenn
said, "Don't take all this business about
momentum and a big stampede that
seems lo be going on. I believe my views
&re the ones that will "prevail." s
McGovern told a noontime crowd in
Boston he would get the first or second
place finish he's after in Massachusetts,
and appealed to his audience to vote ac
cording to their consciences.

Morehead Planetarium
By BEN PERKOWSKI
Staff Writer
Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III an
nounced last Thursday that he would allow the
display of the Morehead Planetarium's six-pointed
star.
Fordham said the recent Supreme Court ruling
that yuletide nativity scenes displayed by local
governments did not violate the constitutional
separation of church and state "appears to resolve
the question, and the chancellor's directive has
been withdrawn."
Fordham had ordered the star removed from
atop the planetarium in December 1982 after a
UNC law professor, Barry Nakell, claimed its use
violated the constitutional separation of church
and state.
Lee Shapiro, planetarium director, said Ford
ham's decision meant "we can go ahead with our
'plans to put the star up in May." The star will pro
bably be put up the entire month of May to help
advertise a program called, "Here is astronomy
shining in Chapel Hill," part of the planetarium's
35th birthday celebration, he said.
The decision also means the star will be erected
again this Christmas to advertise the planetarium's
annual "Star of Bethlehem" show, Shapiro said.
The star, which Shapiro contended was used for
advertising purposes and not as a religious symbol,
had been used for the Christmas show for more
than 30 years until its removal in 1982.
Nakell, contacted Monday in Boulder, Colo.,
where he is teaching this year, said Fordham's
decision was "premature" and "unnecessary." "I
don't agree with it, but I do understand it."
Nakell said the issue raised in the Supreme
Court case, which was concerned with the use of a
city-owned nativity scene in Pawtucket, R.I., was
different from the issue involved in the use of the
planetarium's star.
He said he disagreed with the Supreme Court
ruling and felt that because the star was a solitary
display it was more difficult to argue that it was
secular than the display of the nativity.
"If the star is not a religious symbol then I have
no problem with it," he added.
Daniel Pollitt, a UNC law professor, said he
also disagreed with Fordham's decision and said
the Supreme Court ruling was not the major issue.
"I think the point is that the star is a religious sym
bol which is offensive to certain members of the
academic community," he said.
UNC law professor Eugene Gressman said, "I
think Fordham's decision is probably legitimate on
its own two feet. He didn't need the Supreme
Winters dispells doubts about
seriousness of his campaign
By WAYNE THOMPSON
Staff Writer
More than a month after his Feb. 6 filing as a candidate in the
4th District congressional race for the Democratic nomination,
John W. Winters Jr. of Raleigh last week dispelled doubts about
the seriousness of his candidacy and whether it would neutralize
the strength of the black vote in defeating incumbent Rep. Ike
Andrews.
"Some people perceive my decision to run in different fashion
(other than as a legitimate candidate)," Winters, a Raleigh real
estate developer, told reporters at a news conference last week in
Raleigh. "Some assume I had a grudge or grievance with
Howard Lee, which was untrue. Some rumored that I had been
paid to jeopardize the Lee campaign. This is filth."
Lee, who is black, is former mayor of Chapel Hill and state
secretary of Natural Resources and Community Development.
Lee and Andrews were the first candidates in the race, and
Winters filed 20 minutes before the deadline on Feb. 6.
Political analysts have said that Winters' candidacy could
tend to hurt Lee's chances an analysis Lee himself seemed to
support when asked last week about Winters' remarks.
"I think it is unfortunate that a campaign has to be clouded
by these kinds of uncertainties," Lee said. "I think it is a fact
that whenever two blacks are running in the same race, some
votes which might go to one candidate could go to another.
"But I don't know that he's (Winters) only taking votes from
me. He could also be taking votes from Ike Andrews."
Wipters, who said he made the decision to stay in the race last
week after canvassing his support in the 4th District, said he
planned to offer voters "an independent person."
"I am my own man," he said. "I don't have the backing of
any special interest, and I plan to take this attitude to the
voters."
. As examples of special interests influencing his opponents.
Winters said the Andrews campaign had received contributions
from political action committees tied to Chicago realtors,
organized labor in North Carolina and the National Education
Association.
When asked what special interestsLee represented, Winters
said once the campaign started, voters would be able to tell.
Later in his news conference, however, Winters was more
specific.
"The campaign was only a week old before Howard made
promises to the teachers of higher salaries," he said, also decry
ing Lee's endorsement from the state AFL-CIO.
"The thing that bothers me is that each of these endorsements
require allegiance to a certain voting pattern,", he said. Winters
said any possible support he would garner from political action
committees would depend "on which groups they represent."
Despite a brief speech in which Winters decried the massive
federal budget deficits and cost overruns on defense department
projects, most of Winters' remarks centered oh the political ef-.
feet of his dual candidacy with Lee as a black primary challenger.
According to N.C. Secretary of State' Thad Eure, the 4th
District race marks the first time in the state's congressional
primary history in which a white candidate has been pitted
against two blacks.
Saying, that a purpose of the news conference was to
downplay the race issue and offer "new views on the issues,"
Winters scolded the news media for their coverage of his cam
paign. Winters also said his entry into the race could have been
sparked by a perception in the black community that Lee would
not represent its interests.
"Prior to my filing, there were some indications in the black
community in Raleigh that Howard might not get the black
vote. This was said to him directly."
Winters said there was little difference between Lee and An
drews on the issues. "1 happened to hear a commentary of
Howard Lee's in Randolph County in which he said there was
no significant difference in his views and Ike Andrews.
"I will offer different views." Asked to cite a difference bet
ween himself and Andrews on an issue, Winters said Andrews
voted against a bill in July 1983 that provided health care for the
jobless. Winters also cited Andrews support of the Reagan
budget package in 1982.

Lone Star beer
now being sold
in Chapel Hill
By AMY STYERS
Staff Writer
While Tar Heel students scattered
across the Florida coast in quest of sun
shine and good times, sought refuge at
home for a little rest and relaxation or
took advantage of a week's opportunity
to earn some extra cash, something new
hit Chapel Hill. .
Yes, a new beer dared to enter the
realms of Chapel Hill with UNC students
away on Spring Break.
Lone Star beer, "the national beer of
Texas," entered area bars and stores hop
ing to bring a bit of the west to the east
coast.
Lone Star, which has been around
since 1840, has done extremely well in
college, young adult and rural market
areas, said Drew Nealeans, general
manager of Lamb Distributing Com
pany. The beer's cowboy image has been
nurtured by appearances in movies such
as Urban Cowboy and Silk wood. Charlie
Daniels and Willie Nelson have also add
ed to Lone Star's reputation by mention
ing the beer in their songs.
Several area merchants said they
thought students would be willing' to try
the latest addition to their beer selections.
The overwhelfning response to Coors
beer served as an example of students
willingness to try new brands, an
employee of Tarheel Party Store said.
