Gubernatorial candidates face off in crowded race
By TOM CONLON
Staff Writer
With one of the most crowded fields in
recent North Carolina history, the 1984
governor's race promises to be one of the
closest-watched gubernatorial campaigns
in the nation this election year.
Each major candidate, now making his
final drive before the May 8 primary, is
predicting he'll be the one to replace
outgoing Gov. Jim Hunt, who has held
the state's top spot since 1977. The six
Democrats and one Republican given a
chance of winning the election are projec

Noise a problem
Student me of Davis Library is
By JENNIFER TROTTER
Staff Writer
Despite noise problems and less
hours of operation, students, as well
as Davis library employees have ex
pressed satisfaction toward the new
building since its opening Feb. 7.
Based on figures collected during
the last week of February, Larry
Alford, circulation librarian, said
41,966 people used Davis Library dur
ing that week compared to the 20,681
people who used Wilson in the last
week of February 1983. The count is
based on the number of people leaving
the library.
Suzanne Wright, a sophomore
physical therapy major from Staley,
said the bright atmosphere of Davis
Library had a bearing on this increase
in usership.
"Davis is so much more open and
brighter than Wilson," she said. Most
people I know prefer studying in
Davis because it's not as depressing as
Wilson."

New Kenan Center will

Ground clearing activities will begin
this month for the construction of the .
$6.5 million William R. Kenan Jr. Center
of North Carolina, said Frank H. Kenan,
a trustee for the Kenan family trust,
which is sponsoring the development.
The five-story Kenan Center, which
will contain 60,000 square feet of space
when completed in early 1986, will be
located near the Student Activities
Center, just off Manning Drive. The
center will house the new Institute for the
Study of Private Enterprise, which is be
ing established to supplement the School
of Business Administration, Kenan said.
The top floor of the Kenan Center will
house offices of the Kenan Fund, accor
ding to a prepared statement released by
the William R. Kenan Charitable Trust,
while other areas of the building will serve
to augment these facilities by providing
space for conferences directly sponsored
by the institute, and other activities.
The purpose of the institute will be to
create a greater understanding of the role
of private enterprise in development of
the economy and to provide for the study
of topics that will directly benefit UNC
business students and members of the
business community, Kenan said.
"The institute's principle will be u

But there is little difference among the
candidates as a whole, with all running
basically on the same issues with the same
solutions more money for teachers,
greater economic development, fiscal
responsibility and more jobs.
The six major Democratic candidates
are Attorney General Rufus Edmisten,
former N.C. Commerce Secretary D.M.
"Lauch" Faircloth, former state
legislator Tom Gilmore, Lt. Gov. Jimmy
Green, Insurance Commissioner John In

Knox. Other Democrats who have filed

Mich., agreed Davis offered more
"cdmfort and brighter lighting than
Wilson, but said he felt there was
more of a noise problem in Davis than
in Wilson because of the openness of
the floors.
University Librarian, James F.
Govan, claims that the noise level is a
problem that continues to plague the
library.
"We are still receiving complaints
about noise and talking, and we hope
that students would assist in curing
this problem," Govan said.
The present policy of library
employees is to patrol the floors
regularly to combat the noise pro
blem. Alford said he thought the
patrols, as well as increased student
awareness, had been effective in
reducing some of the complaints
about noise.
While questions have been raised
about changes in the hours kept by the
library, Govan said the changes re
mained under negotiation. Alford said
expanding the hours kept by the
library would involve increase in the
library staff. He cited recent budget

private enterprise system through which
the objects of generating national wealth,
providing employment and otherwise en

realized," Kenan said.
The institute will occupy one floor of
the building and will initially be staffed
part-time by several UNC business facul
ty members, said John P. Evans, dean of
the School of Business Administration.
One faculty member will do research
there full-time, he said.
"This person will teach and do
research work in the areas of starting,
financing, nurturing and expanding
smaller business," Evans said.
In addition to supporting courses of

business school, the Kenan Institute will

"We believe (the institute) will fill out
the dimensions of this school's activities
by expanding our undergraduate and
graduate programs in terms of sup
plementing management and en

Specific activities include short pro

stressed their stands on the issues and ex
plained their qualifications.
In the Democratic camp, Green and
Faircloth clearly are the most conser
vative candidates with their emphasis on a
tight fiscal budget and their steadfast op
position to higher taxes.
Gilmore emerges as the most liberal
candidate, calling for repeal of capital
punishment, strong enforcement of civil
rights and a commitment to raise taxes
if necessary for education.
Martin, the Republican, is a conser
vative candidate on fiscal issues and
social issues, although he supports abor
tion in cases of rape, incest or danger to
the mother.
, "Education will be my first and
foremost priority when elected
governor," Faircloth said. "I will raise
teacher's salaries across the board, and a
tax increase will not be necessary."
The other candidates have also called
for an increase in teacher salaries. Martin
said he didn't plan on raising taxes, but
would not rule out the idea out if
necessary, while Knox plans to raise taxes
on beer and liquor to fund higher salaries
for teachers. If there's a consensus on
education, it's that fiscal responsibility
and realignment of the state budget will
meet the demands of education costs

Graduate students who have received

Hart, a senator from Colorado, is
scheduled to arrive at Raleigh-Durham

steering committee, said Wednesday. A
rally and speech are tentatively scheduled
for 6:30 p.m. in Carmichael Auditorium.
There may also be a reception and fund

will be sleeping
without a tax increase.
Job recruitment and economic
development are also among the plat
forms of gubernatorial candidates.
"I've been to Germany recruiting in
dustry. I believe I can sell North Carolina
better than anybody," Knox said. Stress
ing industrial recruitment, particularly
high tech business, Knox said many new
jobs can be created statewide. But to con
sider unemployment in other parts of the
state, industry must go elsewhere besides
the Research Triangle Park and the Pied
mont cities.
Edmisten said before development
could go statewide, schools and technical
colleges would need to train people for
industrial work. "Industries choose
counties for development because those
communities have something to offer,"
he said. "We need to go into countries
like Granville and Clay."
All the candidates, while talking about
recruiting business, basically agree that
industry must expand statewide. Gilmore
has taken to working 84 different jobs
throughout the state in efforts to learn
first-hand the problems and concerns of
North Carolinians, including learning the
job and industrial recruitment needs of
the state.
Martin and Faircloth favor repeal of
the intangibles and inventory taxes as
source close to the GOP leadership said.
"I think they want to liquidate the
political damage," Sen. Larry Pressler,
R-S.D., said. "The thing is not working,
so they want to get it over with and go on
to the next thing."
Pressler voted for the compromise, al
though he said, "The administration has
left us who supported the administration
package (of aid to the Salvadoran govern
ment and Nicaraguan guerrillas) in a dif
ficult position."
As part of the agreement, Baker agreed
to vote for the Kennedy resolution on
mining and Kennedy agreed to put off the
matter of the World Court action until
after a 10-day congressional Easter recess
that starts Friday.
Baker said that if Central American de
velopments during the recess warranted

Tuesday night.
According to Tom McAbee, a grad
uate student in physics who has been in
vestigating the issue for the GPSF, the
IRS may audit students' work as far back
as three years ago.
In a decision that went into effect Jan.
1, the IRS stated that the University did
not have the right to decide whether or
not to withhold taxes from graduate
student's pay.
The -University has been negotiating
with the IRS for the past year about the
issue, McAbee said. "The University is
working toward an out-of-court settle
ment," he added.
"The University is on our side on
this," GPSF President Tom Terrell said.
"They stand to lose $1 million to VA
million on this."
The University wants graduate students
who work for the University to meet a
certain level of income, McAbee said. "If
this money is taxed, the University may
have to raise salaries," he said.
Two requirements may be used to
determine whether a student's pay is tax
exempt, McAbee said. For exemption,
the duties must be specified as a require
ment for the student's degree, and the
primary- benefit of the funds must be for
the student, not for the University,
McAbee said.

they feel such taxes discourage
.businessmen from expanding their plants
in the state. Faircloth also supports
removing the sales tax on food.
The inventory tax is applied to
manufacturers, while the intangibles tax
requires companies and their employees
to pay on items such as savings, retire
ment plans and stock options.
"There is (with the intangible tax) a
tendency to discourage businesses from
locating here... and a strong effect of
discouraging retirees so that they go
somewhere else," Martin said.
Environmental concerns have risen in
campaign platforms, and Martin is con
cerned about toxic waste disposal. "Right
now, North Carolina is the seventh
largest producer of toxic chemicals, yet
we do not have a policy of disposing of
these wastes," he said.
Edmisten said dumping hazardous
wastes on the roads should be a felony
and proposed a hazardous waste commit

the Faircloth and Green campaigns, both
of whom favor additional funds for inr
home services and adult day care pro

t "I have no desire to hogtie the
Senate," he said.
A week ago the Senate rejected by a
61-30 vote a move by Kennedy to kill an
administration request for $21 million in
aid to anti-government guerrillas in
Nicaragua.
The resolution adopted by the Senate
reads: "It is the sense of Congress that no
funds heretofore or hereafter appro

ligated or expended for the purpose of

is taxable," Terrell said. Only fellowships
are tax exempt.
In other business, Larry Davis from the
Student Government Parking Task Force
solicited suggestions from the GPSF
about parking problems facing graduate
students.
According to Davis, many graduate
students, especially those coming to UNC
from other universities, are unaware that
fall parking permits must be applied for
in person in the spring.- As a result, he
said, 80-100 graduate students apply for
hardship permits and there are not
enough to go around.
Members suggested that letters inform
ing graduate s'tudents of the requirement
be sent in the acceptance letters from
graduate schools. Members also recom
mended continuing the practice of mail
ing letters to all graduate students remin
ding them of the parking permit re
quirements. The GPSF commended Chuck Cairns,
a graduate student in medicine. Cairns
discovered orientation fees paid by
medical students had been spent on
undergraduate activities and other ac
tivities unrelated to medical students, in
stead of going toward orientation, Terrell
said.
Cairns also gained assurance that the
fees would be spent for medical students'
benefit in the future, Terrell said.
