Long: Ingram
is out of race
By WAYNE THOMPSON
Political Editor
Insurance Commissioner candidate Jim Long got what he
called "a late Christmas present" 1:30 Thursday afternoon
when -gubernatorial candidate John Ingram announced in
Greensboro that he would remain in the governor's race and
would not seek re-election as insurance commissioner.
"My thesis was that Ingram had strong support and would be
able to attempt it," Long said of specualtion that Ingram would
use a North Carolina law, General
Statute 163-122, to challenge him in the
general election.
Under the statute, a gubernatorial can
didate whose name is already on the
primary ballot for that office could run
for a different office in the general elec
tion as an unaffiliated candidate.
Long, during an interview Thursday,
said he heard Ingram make the remark
before the N.C. Association of Farm
Mutuals, a group of small insurance com

panies set up by farmers.
He played a tape he had made of Ingram's comments.
"We've got a rumor circulating ... you hear now and then
that I could be the insurance commissioner in 1985," Ingram
said. "But I tell you here today, that I have run for insurance
commissioner the last time that I'll ever run for that office. I will
be never be insurance commissioner again after January of next
year."
Long said he was satisfied that Ingram would not run against
him only after he heard Ingram Thursday. .
"It bothered me until 1:30," Long said. "Now that I heard it
in person, I believe him.
"When you start putting it on the record, I presume that
you're stepping down."
Long, former state representative and chief deputy commis
sioner of insurance, said he was relieved that his campaign now
could proceed without Ingram's "shadow" a large cadre of
loyal supporters who always vote for Ingram.
He said deregulation of financial institutions was the main
problem facing the insurance industry in the next four years.
"When local banks and brokerage firms start getting into in
surance, you start raising some serious problems," he said.
Long cited the example of Baldwin-United, a financial ser
vices company in the insurance business, as what can happen to
consumers when they buy policies from brokerage houses and
not agents.
Long said Baldwin enticed consumers with an exorbitantly
high 17 percent interest rate, which brought in $182 million in
premiums. But because of the high rate of interest, the company
lost money and now is in rehabilitation, the insurance industry
equivalent of bankruptcy.
Long said other platform issues include putting insurance
policies in readable language, providing consumers with guides
detailing differences between coverages and-strengthening the
department's auditing of insurance companies to be sure the
companies are financially strong.

CGC allocation to clubs
By BEN PERKOWSKI
Staff Writer
The Campus Governing Council will
have about. $210,000 to allocate to stu
dent organizations for the fiscal year
1984-85, as compared to $272,248 which
was allocated during the 1983-84 fiscal
year budget hearings, according to Stu
dent Body Treasurer Allen Robertson.
This means the Finance Committee,
presently conducting budget hearings
through April 9, will have to make about
a 25 percent cut in total allocations from
last year, Robertson said. He added that
the $210,000 figure did not include
$15,000 tentatively set aside for subse
quent appropriations next year.
Therefore the total budget for next
fiscal year comes to about $225,000
which is the amount expected from stu
dent fees for the coming two summer
sessions and the 1984-85 academic year,
Robertson said. "This figure is correct
assuming that enrollment remains about
the same next year," he said.
Robertson said he expected the com
bined funds of Student Government in
cash at the Student Activities Fund Of
fice and in the Investment to exceed
$40,000 by the end of the 1984-85 fiscal
year. "Of course, that's if all our
assumptions are correct," he addded.

HRC hopes for sunny Springf est day

Mike Beverly is searching for a
bright, sunny April 14.
That's the scheduled date for the
1984 Springfest, a day when sun
bathers come together, listen to a wide
array of bands and enjoy the festive .
atmosphere of Connor Beach.
Beverly, program director, for
Springfest and newly elected governor
of Henderson Residence College, said
this year's event will last only one day,
instead of two like last year.
"We decided to make it a one-day
event this year," he said. "Last year it
was on a Friday and Saturday, but
Friday was rained out, so we had to
cram all the bands in on one day. It
turned out OK, though."
There is no make-up date scheduled
for Springfest.

SAFO and in the Investment is currently
$15,728 but about $11,000 in student
fees should be deposited in SAFO very
soon. "Assuming the $22,000 STV loan
is paid back next year in full and there
are no further appropriations this year
then we will be over $40,000 in reserve at
the end of the 1984-85 fiscal year," he
said.
Robertson said Student Government
would have to pay the University about
$6,000 sometime next year which will
come out of the reserve. "However, at
the end of the 1983-84 fiscal year May is
organizations which have money left will
revert their surplus back into the Student
Government reserve," he said. About
$20,000 from student organizations was'
reverted back into the reserve last year,
Robertson added.
Robertson said assuming this much
money comes back this year the Student
Government will be well over the
$40,000 limit set in Article VIII, Section
2 of the Treasury Laws. "It's safer to
assume no money will revert back and
hopefully we'll be proved wrong," he
said. "Conservatism is always a good ac
counting principle."
"The real question- concerning the
Springfest will feature a variety of
at least six bands this year, Beverly
said.
Five of the bands have signed, and
the sixth should sign by the end of the
week, he said. The scheduled bands
are:
PKM, a Raleigh-based, three
piece rock band.
Bruce Frey, a folk guitarist.
"Bruce has a folksy style, similar to
Mike Cross or James Taylor," Beverly
said.
Vanguard, a UNC rock band bas
ed in Olde Campus.
Johnny White and the Elite Band,
a rhythm and blues band. "They have
a funk sound, similar to Earth, Wind
and Fire," Beverly said.
Let's Active, a progressive rock
band from Winston-Salem. "This
group is a national act, and they get
national airplay."

$40,000 limit is whether or not SAFO
will have enough money to get through
lean periods such as the summer,"
Robertson added. He said that he talked
to Francis Sparrow, director of SAFO,
and she said there would be no problem
this summer.
Tim Newman, CGC representative
from District 11 and member of the
Finance Committee, said the CGC
would allocate approximately $5,000 at
the April 14 meeting for the summer
CGC budget.
The Finance Committee began budget
hearings Wednesday night with the
Carolina Forensics Union and the Cam
pus Governing Council. The Finance
Committee evaluates the budget of all
organizations requesting appropriations
for next year and will submit their
recommendations to the full Council
April 14 for a final vote on the exact ap
propriations. The Finance Committee will recom
mend the CGC appropriate $4,140 to the

to the $5,220 appropriated last year. The

We would love to have them.
"We hope to have more acts in

of surprises lined up," Beverly added.
This year's Springfest, sponsored
mainly by HRC, has an estimated cost
of about $6,000, Beverly said. "We
have a little more money to work with
this year, and we hope to put it to bet
ter use," he said.
Beverly said there were a number of
co-sponsors that were very helpful in
raising the money. Student Govern

The Finance Committee voted to

$1,100 for the 1984-85 budget. The CGC
received $1,200 last year and requested
$1,050 this year. The $50 increase over
the request will be earmarked for a new

of the money will go toward the

CGC bills.
Thursday night the Finance Commit

that the Carolina Course Review receive
$3,000 in CGC appropriation for the
next fiscal year. The Carolina Course
Review received $8,833 from the CGC

$3,000 because starting in the fall of

SC AU to run course description
By KATY FK1UL
Staff Writer
The Phi Eta Sigma Course Descrip
tion will have a different style for next
year, said Richard Owens, outgoing
president of the Student Consumer Ac
tion Union.
Not to be confused with The Carolina
Course Review, which gives information
based on surveys sent to UNC students,
the Course Description is compiled from
questionnaires sent to professors and pro
vides information about course structure, .
test schedules, enrollment capacity, and
other facets of a course.
Phi Eta Sigma, the freshman honor
society which puts together the course
description, has withdrawn its application
for funds from the Campus Governing
Council. Lauren Teague, treasurer of Phi
Eta Sigma, said Thursday the society
dropped the publication from its slate of
projects for next year because it felt it did
not receive enough support from the
CGC. Teague said most of the expenses
for this year's printing were paid from
Year's fifth sex assault
reported Wednesday
By MELANIE WELLS
City Editor
A woman reported to Chapel Hill
police Wednesday that a man attempted
to sexually assault her Wednesday morn
ing while she was near Umstead Park, the
same area where four women have been
raped in the past year.
. The woman said she was walking near
the park at about 9:15 a.m. when a black
man wearing a stocking mask grabbed
her by the throat, threatened her with an
ice pick and attempted to assault her sex
ually. The woman escaped uninjured and
the suspect fled the area on foot.
The man was described as 6 feet tall
and weighing 160-165 pounds.
Chapel Hill Police Officer Gregg Jarvies
said police were not sure if that was the
same man who was suspected in four
other Airport Road area rapes, because
of the differences in witnesses' physical
descriptions, the time of day the attemp
ted assault occur ed and the difference in
the weapons used.
The suspect in the four previous rapes
was described as a black man in his 20's
or 30's, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 170-185
pounds and usually clean-shaven.
Police Chief Herman L. Stone also
said the four previous assaults occured
very late at night, and the suspect used a
knife as a weapon.
Stone said he heard of another similar
incident in the Airport Road area Sun
day, but nothing had been documented.
N.C. applies for relief after
tornadoes devastate area
The Associated Press
CLINTON Rescue workers dredged
ponds and searched piles of rubble Thurs
day for more victims of a line of tor
nadoes that hopscotched across a
250-mile path in eastern North Carolina,
leaving at least 44 dead.
The storm caused millions of dollars in ;
damage, injured at least 801 and left
some 2,279 homeless, officials said
Thursday afternoon.
"This is the worst natural disaster
we've had in a hundred years in North
Carolina," Gov. Jim Hunt said as he
toured rubble near Maxton in Robeson
County. "It's just a horrible, horrible
situation,"
Hunt, who used a helicopter to follow
the path of the storm that was littered
with snapped trees and shattered dwell
ings, said the destruction totaled in the
"millions and millions."
Hunt said he would ask President
Reagan to declare the area a disaster area
and state officials worked to speed the
disaster relief to the storm victims.
State officials said the number of dead
was 59 at one point Thursday. The
number was lowered to 48 and then raised
to 50 as they struggled to confirm deaths,
said Russ Edmonston, spokesman for the
N.C. Department of Crime Control and
Public Safety. Later, the figure was
lowered to 43 after it was determined
local rescue squads may have found vic
tims in one county and transported them
to hospitals in another county. The latest
count was reported shortly after 7 p.m.
Richard Jones of the National Weather
Service in Raleigh said 12 tornado
sightings were confirmed Wednesday
night, but said "We don't know how
many actual twisters there were; they can
drop down in several points."
Twelve people were killed in Sampson
County, where winds demolished sections
of Clinton. The following deaths were
reported in these counties: eight in Pitt,
eight in Greene, six in Bertie, four in
Wayne, three in Robeson, two each in
Scotland, Gates and Lenoir and one each
in Hertford, Perquimmans anH
..uiuership dues. But the society was
hoping that enough support could be
generated on campus to renew the pro
ject, which they felt was valuable to
students. In the future, Phi Eta Sigma
will not apply for any financial aid from
the CGC, she said.
Interest in the publication has come
from two sources: the Student Consumer
Action Union, and a freshman named
Mary Campbell Jenkins.
SCAU and Jenkins are corroborating
to produce the revised version. Owens
said SCAU originally planned to print a
subjective evaluation of courses in
booklet form. SCAU currently publishes
The Southern Part of Heaven, a guide to
area housing, The Franklin Street
Gourmet, a restaurant textbook for
Chapel Hill, Residency Counseling and
The Consumer Map. SCAU learned
Jenkins had received approval from the
CGC for a plan to publish an objective
type review; her application for funds
received a high priority rating of one on a
scale of one to five for financial aid.

"We're having to put together a lot of
bits and pieces," he said.
Stone said he wanted area residents to
be alert. "We want people to be concern
ed, but not overly alarmed," he said.
Many students, especially women, liv
ing in the Airport Road-Umstead Park
area are taking extra safety precautions.
"Not enough people know about
this," said Katherine Schultz, a junior at
UNC and a resident of Colonial Arms
apartment on Hillsborough Street. She
said she had heard about several of the in
cidents and had recently secured her win
dows. "There are lots of rumors flying
around that the guy is a jogger or
something my roommates and I don't
walk in the area alone anymore."
Mary Ann Chap of the Rape Crisis
Center said they knew of the same four
assaults that the police department had
on record. She said the center received
calls about the assaults, but that several
had been "blind reports", which meant
the callers did not identify themselves.
Lt. Ralph Pendergraph of the Chapel
Hill police department said they were get
ting a lot of second and third-hand infor
mation. He said anyone who had infor
mation about any sexual assault and
could trace it to a source, should en
courage that person to call the Rape
Crisis Center.
He said victims or anyone with infor
mation should call the Rape Crisis Center
if they did not want to contact the police.
Cumberland.
James McGirt, whose home north of
Maxton was leveled by the storm, said he
escaped injury when the wind funnel hit,
leaving sodden appliances, furniture and
clothes.
"It was the grace of God," McGirt
said. "We were all praying,"
Edmonston said people-'-came: fo
emergency shelters to get food, but left
without seeking shelter, making the task
of identifying them difficult. Some
homeless in the predominantly rural areas
stayed with relatives.
He also said the storm initially left
65,000 people without power, but that
power was restored to 55,000. Restora
tion of power in the other areas where
damage was severe would take time, he
said.
More than 525 National Guardsmen
were deployed across the state, along with
about 100 state troopers. Some 250 of the
troops were sent to Maxton and Red Spr
ings to guard against looting, while the
state troopers sealed off the area.
"Everybody's in a state of shock in
that area," said Robeson County
Manager Paul Graham.
To the northeast, near Greenville, the
Taylor's Estates trailer park was ripped
apart by the funnel clouds, with an
estimated 100 mobile homes destroyed.
Near the trailer park, ponds were
dredged for bodies and workers sifted
through piles of twisted metal and wood
looking for more victims.
Some of the worst damage in Sampson
County occurred in Roseboro, where
winds flattened a large number of homes
and destroyed a brick plant.
The winds turned over a tractor trailer
rig at Boren Brick Co. and pushed five
railroad boxcars off the tracks at a siding.
The winds also destroyed farm buildings
used to shelter hogs and turkeys and
farmers scrambled to load the living
animals into trailers.
"I've seen three head of cattle dead so
far," said farmer Travis Gilchrist. "I've
also got two dead sheep and a little calf
laying in the ditch over there with its legs
broken."
Jenkins and SCAU will combine their
ideas and produce a two-part description:
a subjective evaluation of teachers,
courses and departments, and an objec
tive portion from information received
from teachers. SCAU can use the com
puters to which it has access and reduce
costs.
SCAU has applied for $5,000 in finan
cial support from the CGC, and SCAU
chairman Jim Toner said he is optimistic
about the request being granted. .
"Overall, the CGC thought the format
yof the course description was a good
idea," he said because it preserves the in
tent of fairness which has evidenced in
the Phi Eta Sigma Course Description.
Owens said the edition to be published
next year will be "sort of liketa Franklin
Street Gourmet" of courses and pro
fessors at UNC. Since the students at
UNC are consumers of education, Owens
said, a course description is a 'valuable
resource when selecting classes and a
valid project for SCAU.
