Jesse Helms has pulled even with Gov. Jim Hunt after trailing his likely re election opponent by 20 percentage points last fall, according to the UNC School of Journalism's Carolina Poll, released Tuesday. Hunt, a Democrat, was the choice of 47 percent of the adults surveyed between Feb. 17 and March 1, while 45 percent favored Republican Helms. Among registered voters, 47 percent preferred Hunt and 46 percent Helms. Eight per cent overall and seven percent of the registered voters were undecided. Among respondents who said they were likely to vote in the election, the race was even at 47 percent. The 3 percent margin of error means the candidates are virtually tied, the pollsters said in a news release. "We're glad to see that the UNC School of Journalism finally has taken pretty much of an accurate poll." said Claude Allen, representative for Helms' campaign. "The figures are not far from what we've been seeing of late. They represent a tremendous movement... since this time last year." Allen added, however, that Helms "still has an uphill battle to fight between now and November because of Hunt's and (the Rev.) Jesse Jackson's effort to register 200,000 voters, most of whom will vote for Hunt." Stephanie Bass, representative for Hunt's campaign, questioned the poll's .accuracy and the way it was compiled. "You can't feel confidence in any of these polls because they're all done dif ferently," Bass said. "Some of the things they did... I wouldn't do. "I would say it's going to be a tight race. We've never thought otherwise. But we feel fine about where we are now." Hunt campaign aide Don Hobart add ed that a poll conducted Feb. 24-26 by national pollster Peter Hart showed Hunt leading 49 percent to 40 percent, "The difference in the two struck us as odd," Hobart said. The Carolina Poll has measured public opinion in the long-anticipated Helms Hunt clash since 1981, and Hunt has always led. In the October 1983 survey, See POLL on page 2 Includes six-point plan Leaders agree to new Lebanese The Associated Press LAUSANNE, Switzerland Christian and Moslem leaders agreed Tuesday on terms of a cease-fire to halt the fighting in war-torn Lebanon. An official statement issued at the Lebanese national reconciliation conference said the cease-fire was to take effect today at 9 p.m. Lebanese time (2 p.m. EST). Beirut's state-run radio interrupted regular program ming to announce that the negotiators in Switzerland had reached a comprehensive agreement for a cease-fire and that "parties concerned" in the Lebanese capital had been informed by telephone of the decision. For the first 30 minutes after 9 p.m., .salvos of mortar shells and rockets fell on residential areas of Christian east Beirut and shells also landed in parts of Moslem west Beirut. A calm then apparently settled over the city. There have been numerous cease-fires declared in Lebanon's nine-year civil war, but none has held. In Lausanne, Michel Samaha, a senior adviser to President Amin Gemayel, said the cease-fire plan "does not need any signatures. It is adopted by all participants in the conference." Duke professor addresses African apartheid By TOM CONLON Staff Writer Change in the apartheid, or racial segregation, system of the Republic of South Africa is likely to occur only from within the activities of the country rather than from pressure from external forces, Sheridan Johns, a Duke University pro fessor of political science, told about 105 people at the final Great Decisions '84 forum Tuesday night. The program, titled "South Africa Can U.S. Policies Influence Change?" . was sponsored by the Association of In ternational Students and was held at Dey Hall's Toy Lounge. The forum was the last of seven, international topics pre sented at UNC since Jan. 25. Johns said change in South Africa could come about by four methods ex ternal pressure from major Western countries, arms challenges from foreign countries, voluntary reforms from within the country or from internal revolu tionary change. - "Change through government reforms is unlikely," Johns said. "There has been no further discussion on including Africans in the South African constitu tion, despite slight moderation of apar theid policies. . - v ;v i T -r r- " X i s ' ,: I . ,-'t&& c- i: jx-.

Colloredo said his parents sent his two-wheeler on a bus from home, but it didn't arrive in the best of shape. Agreement had been held up by a controversy over whether Gemayel should sign the pact as head of state or as a party to the Lebanese conflict. The plan released by conference officials lists six points to bring about a permanent cease-fire and restore stability and security to the devastated nation. The six points are: Orders to all factions to stop fighting; formation of a military committee comprising members of all sides; formation of supervisory commit tees to monitor the truce; separation of combatants and establishment of buffer zones; reopening of Beirut's air port and port; and a halt to information campaigns by the rival parties. - Gemayel's national security adviser, Wadih Haddad, said the deadlock over the signature issue was broken by the proposal "from several people." A conference source said the Syrian and Saudi observers had suggested the accord be approved by consensus, a move that re quires no signatures. Haddad said the conference also was presented with several working papers concerning political, social and economic reforms in a new Lebanon. "When I visited Johannesburg in 1975, I found that public parks were integrated and blacks were using reading rooms in libraries where they previously had been in reading rooms to bring books to whites," he said. "International hotels had been designated for all races since money was the key, rather than skin col or, in that type of enterprise." An arms challenge from other nations is very unlikely because of South Africa's distance from major military powers Johns said. Actions by other nations in the form of sanctions seem very limited, Johns said. "European and North American powers have generally shown no willing ness to bring sanctions against South Africa, and any sanctions taken would probably have little or no effect on pre sent policy in South Africa." Revolutionary change from within South Africa may not come easily but is the only likely way the apartheid system can be overthrown, Johns said. "One must recognize that this white . dominated state has been determined to stay the course,' as one of our national leaders has put it," Johns said. "An underground role with the African Na tional Congress will become more dif ficult to hold with the upcoming non- aggression pact between South Africa, Mozambique and Angola." The African National Congress, -a black nationalist movement in South Africa, currently is banned from operating in the country. The group has ' received backing and training from the Marxist governments of neighboring Mozambique and Angola. "The African National Congress has been the longest-established African na tionalist organization on the African con tinent, despite efforts by the white South African government to divide it," Johns said. "Clash and conflict between the white and black nationalist groups is what will bring about the change. It will pro bably be accompanied by. violence." Johns added that recent U.S. admini strations have been more concerned with the Marxist threat to South African government by neighboring African countries than they have been with the ' morality of the apartheid system. Student Body Vice President Greg Hecht, in an effort to gather information for Campus Governing Council action on the UNC divestment issue in South Africa, asked if divestment would be a positive step. "Full divestment would have a great symbolic impact, but the extent to which DTHJeff Neuville CCciSC" fire Une paper by the Lebanese Front coalition of right wing Christian groups called for a Swiss-style federal structure of Lebanon. Conference sources said this was opposed by Moslem delegates and the Syrian observer, vice president Abdul-Halim Khaddam. The four-point plan calls for a "Lebanese Federal Arab Republic" comprising several cantons and the federal government seated in Beirut. Khaddam, according to one conference source, said that the plan had been "presented to us already in 1976 and we then put it in the dust bin." The conference adjourned after a two-hour session. It was to resume today to discuss working papers on the political reforms, which Haddad said were actually the prime topic of the conference. An unwritten accord specifies that the Lebanese presi dent be a Maromte Christian. JuniSiatt and other op position leaders say the pact does not give Moslems a fair share of power in Lebanon. Gemayel and his Christian backers have said they are willing to discuss a new form of government, but that a meaningful cease-fire accord must be hammered out first. 4 Sheridan Johns it would bring about change is very limited,'.' Johns said. "There is evidence that divestment has been of concern to the South African government, but it hasn't caused them to make any major changes. "Foreign investment has helped con tinue economic growth in South Africa, but it has not necessarily benefited the black population," . he said. "It has, however, provided jobs for the popula tion at large." 11 Hart, M. split South on uper Tuesday The Associated Press Sen. Gary Hart won presidential primaries in Florida, Massachusetts and Rhode Island Tuesday night. Walter F. Mondale countered with his first primary victories of the season in Alabama and Georgia, and said, "I've come back into' the race" for the Democratic presidential nomination. Hart said the Super Tuesday outcome was a victory for his candidacy and the American people. He said the voters had declared again, as in the four states he had won before, that "The politics of the past will not address fhe problems of the 1980s." "With your help, we'll go on to Il linois, on to New York, on to San Fran cisco and on to the White House," he told cheering supporters at his campaign headquarters. ' : Four states held caucuses, and in Oklahoma the only state reporting Hart was ahead. With 19 percent of the precincts counted, he had 42 percent to 34 for Mondale, and CBS said he would win. While Mondale won narrowly in the Georgia preference vote, Hart was gain ing more delegates there. And in Florida, delegates originally pledged to former Gov. Reubin Askew, now withdrawn, were a strong majority. Hart urged their election, hoping they would move into his camp. The three darkhorse candidates Sen. John Glenn, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and former Sen. George McGoyern looked in vain for a surprise to boost them into contention. Glenn was running third in Alabama and Florida, fourth in Georgia and Massachusetts. An aide said it would be Wednesday at the earliest before the Ohio senator decid ed oa the future of his debt-ridden cam paign. - McGovern, who had said he'd quit the race unless he finished at least second in Massachusetts, was running third in par tial returns. Jackson edged to the 20 percent level with his third place standing in Georgia. The percentage was crucial to him the 20 percent level would preserve his entitle ment for federal matching campaign funds. While returns on Super Tuesday, with 511 delegates at state, showed Hart the strongest candidate in the biggest states, Mondale went before cheering supporters in Washington and called the outcome a turning point. "A month ago this was a bandwagon," the dethroned front-runner' told his supporters. "Tonight it's a crusade." Mondale said, "It's going to be a marathon all the way to California," where Democrats convene next summer to pick their nominee for the White House. Despite Hart's three victories, voter surveys by the television networks in dicated that there had been erosion in the strength of the Colorado senator in all five primary states in the days just before the ballotting. The pollsters said that among voters who made up their minds on Election Symposium to investigate global, ecological issues By STEVE FERGUSON Staff Writer The 1984 Carolina Symposium will begin Monday, featuring prominent speakers who will address issues surroun ding this year's theme, global survival. Titled "Population, Resources and En vironment," the symposium will run through Wednesday, April 4. Speakers will include pollster Louis Harris, economist Lester Thurow, biologist and contributor to the "nudear winter" theory Paul Ehrlich, and writer Michael Brown, who brought national attention to the hazardous waste dumping problem at Love Canal. The Carolina. Symposium takes place every two years and is composed of lec tures, panel discussions, films, concerts, exhibits, workshops and other events. All symposium programs are planned and in itiated by UNC students. Programs in clude the ecological effects of nuclear war, world hunger, hazardous waste and a writer's workshop. , "1 think these issues need to be brought up before a major audience," said Wienke Tex, co-chairperson of the symposium. "It's issues that affect everyone." UNC's curriculum does not adequately deal with issues regarding the environ Day in Georgia, Mondale defeated Hart 36 percent to 22 percent. In Massachusetts, Mondale and Hart split the vote among those making up their minds late. Voters who made their deci sions in the previous month favored Mondale. (Hart's victories were cause for celebra tion in Chapel Hill as the UNC With Hart group watched the vote totals on televi sion. About 125 supporters met at the Vance Street home of Henry Latane, pro fessor emeritus in the School of Business Administration. The organization now has about 80 members from the Universi ty. "(I think that Hart is the best oppor tunity for beating Reagan," Latane said. Group member Larry Katzin, a sophomore from Raleigh, added: "Mon dale just didn't have any appeal to the student voter. One idea we've had (for gathering support) is that our students would host students from out-of-state and have one big . Hart college campus weekend, where they would be sent out into North Carolina as one big Hart ar my.") As they were splitting the popular vote, the campaign rivals were dividing up the delegates. Hart was leading for 140 delegates, while Mondale was ahead for . 127 from the five primary states. With 67 percent of the precincts repor ting from Florida, Hart held 41 percent of the vote, while Mondale had 31 per .cent. In Alabama, with 71 percent counted, it was Mondale 32 percent, Glenn had 22 percent, Hart 22 and Jackson 18. In Georgia, 89 percent of the precincts had been counted, and Mondale had 31 percent, Hart 28. Mondale won a mail-in primary by" Democrats living abroad with 38 percent of the vote, to 31 percent for Hart. But ..the three delegates involved went - unpledged. Florida was crucial to Hart. The Col orado senator hoped for at least one Southern victory to maintain momentum and demonstrate nationwide appeal for his own "new ideas" candidacy. This was the crowded primary day Mondale once had thought offered him the opportunity to clinch the nomination. 'After four straight defeats, he found himself struggling for survival instead. Democrats held caucuses in Washington state, Oklahoma, Nevada, Hawaii and American Samoa, but no results were expected Tuesday except in Oklahoma. In Republican primaries in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Presi dent Reagan was unopposed. The 51 1 delegates involved in the day's competition represented more than one quarter of the 1,967 needed for nomina tion at the Democratic National Conven tion next summer. Before Tuesday, Mondale led the com petition for delegates with 152 to 35 for Hart, 17 for Glenn and 7 for Jackson. There are 55 uncommitted delegates. With little organization in the South, Hart plowed $550,000 into a media advertising campaign that stressed his "new ideas, fresh start" campaign theme. In appearances, he ridiculed Mondale as beholden to special interests. ment, and the symposium is designed to increase student awareness and under standing of these issues, Tex said.
