At a marathon budget hearing Wednesday night which concluded Thursday morning at about 5:45, the Finance Committee reduced its previous appropriations to student organizations by about $39,000. As expected, the reduction meant further cuts for most student organizations. Average cuts rang ed from 50-to-75 percent. Committee members failed to balance the budget during first budget hearings of the 35 groups requesting funding. The committee then selected organizations for further discussion and made further cuts. Tim Newman, chairman of the hear ing, said that because all student organization representatives had left by the time the committee held its second discussion, these groups would be con tacted before the second proposals were added to the budget bill. The committee recommended no ap propriations go to the Sexuality Educa tion and Counseling Service. Newman, said Thursday, committee members decided SECS services overlap ped with those of the Contraceptive Health Education Clinic and Student Health Services. But SECS co-director Nancy Dorer said Thursday she felt the committee had acted on misconceptions about SECS. Dorer said SECS provides services that CHEC and SHS do not, including peer counseling, counseling on all areas of sex uality, relationship counseling and Candidates By TOM CONLON Staff Writer Charging that the N.C. Senate is run by three individuals and that a major problem exists in getting progressive legislation passed, 16th District senate candidate Don Stanford said Thursday night he would stand up and fight to pass such legislation. Stanford, a Chapel Hill attorney, spoke at a candidate's forum on women's issues at the Community Church on Purefoy Road, sponsored jointly by the Orange County Day Care Coalition, Children's Services News, Womens Health Counseling, the Rape Crisis Center and Orange County Women's Center. About 100 people, mostly women, at tended the forum where U.S. Congress, N.C. Senate, and Orange County Com missioner candidates spoke on women's and children's issues. In attendance were Democrat Howard Lee, a candidate for the 4th District congressional seat now held by Rep. Ike Andrews, while Joan Ewing, administrative assistant to An drews, spoke on the congressman's behalf. N.C. Senate candidates participating were incumbent Sens. Wanda Hunt, D-Moore, and Russell Walker, D-Randolph. Stanford is competing with Hunt and Walker for one of the two available seats from the four-county district of Orange, Chatham, Moore and Randolph. Candidates for Orange County Com missioners included incumbent chairman Don Willhoit, John Gastineau, Larry Talbert and Moses Carey, in which two seats will be filled. Discussion of the state Senate leader ' ship came up when a citizen asked the candidates of their stands on the state's ratification of the Equal Rights Amend ment. "The ERA passed the (N.C.) House under (Speaker) Carl Stewart's leadership," Stanford said in support of ERA. "He could change the attitude of the Senate as lieutenant governor, but we also need a change of the legislature's body." Stewart is a Democratic can didate for lieutenant governor. "I won't just vote for ERA, but I'll be a strong leader pushing it until it is ultimately passed," Lee said.

In addition, SECS offers 24-hour call-in service and a daily walk-in service without waiting lines, Dorer said. Dorer said she planned to attend the CGC meeting Saturay in an attempt to get her organization funded, but she feared other groups might resent her ask ing for money which would essentially be taken from their budgets. WXYC also suffered a major budget cut, as the committee voted to recom mend the station do away with its United Press International wire service, thereby allowing a $4,200 cut in WXYC's budget. Newman said the committee's justifica tion for the cut was that WXYC could air local and campus news rather than wire service news. "I don't think the station's mission was hurt by that cut," Newman said. "They can work the local news beat a lit tle more instead of just ripping and reading wire reports." WXYC station manager Bill Burton said Thursday the loss of the wire service would cut the station's staff in half. The WXYC news staff does not have time to research news stories, Burton said. In ad dition, staff members would not receive a physical product of their efforts, he said, and the experience they might gain would be insubstantial. "That experience wouldn't be worth s-," Burton said. Burton said his only options without enough student government funding would be to find grants, raise funds or turn the station into a radio jukebox.

Lee said accessibility is an issue and pledged to be highly visible among members of the district. In the past, Lee said Andrews has not been an assertive and accessible congressman. Ewing offered a different view, saying Andrews "has been accessible and highly visible to this district. He knows this district better than anyone I know and has been very responsible in representing it." Ewing defended Andrews' record of assisting with passage of the Missing Children's Act, the Child Care Informa tion and Referral Act and support for the ERA. Stanford accused Lt. Gov.

If Student Government refused to provide enough funds for the station, WXYC would be less accountable to students because it would be using less of their money, he said. Student Television suffered a 50 per cent cut in its request for Student Government funding. STV asked that the committee allocate $5,985 to cover opera tional expenses. The committee voted to appropriate $2,993 and requested that STV raise the remaining $2,992. Newman said committee members decided to halve the request, because they felt students had already voted to loan STV $22,000, a relatively large portion of Student Government funds. Newman said there was heated debate at the hearing between the committee and STV representatives. Newman said STV Chairman John Wilson argued fund raising had already been allocated to meeting equipment expenses. STV will receive $15,000 and $20,000 grants from undisclosed sources. Wilson declined to comment on the committee's appropriation. Among other budget cuts, the commit tee voted to cut the Student Consumer Action Union's Underground Course Guide and to cut the Executive Branch's presidential and treasurer scholarships by 50 percent. No capital expenditures were approved. See HEARINGS on page 2 DTHLarry Childress on womens' and childrens' issues and Sen. Kenneth Royall, D-Durham, as being the three key decisionmakers in all Senate legislation. Walker, a former N.C. Democratic Party chairman, said "a tremendous change in the House and Senate will be needed before we can get a state ERA through." Hunt said she would support the issue "publicly and privately whenever the issue arises." All three candidates said they would support state funding of abortions, a women's comparable-pay measure and day care programs. The three also said they would vote against capital punish ment legislation. In the congressional forum, Lee said he would appoint women to half of his staff positions if elected to Congress, and add ed that his only paid campaign worker was a woman. tween 4 and 4:30 p.m. Springfest is jointly sponsored by Henderson Residence College, Student Government, the Residence Hall Associa tion, Granville Towers, Ehrinshaus, Morrison, Olde Campus and Pizza Tran sit Authority. i f f I I ; Xvv vo Nft I o j i D J fH J j j yT vi)W!' f iiy-fif' ?!

Mary Ann Chap, director of the Orange County Rape Crisis Center, also said no rapes have been reported. Lt. Ralph Pendergraph of the Crime Prevention Department said since a com posite of the rapist was released on April 4 the department has received many calls and letters about possible suspects. He said the department was checking out each reported suspect. Although Pendergraph would not directly comment on undercover operations, he did say the investigators have changed their ap Israelis storm Arab-hijacked bus The Associated Press ISRAELI-OCCUPIED GAZA STRIP Arab guerrillas hijacked a bus carrying more than 30 Israelis and sped toward the Egyptian border, but Israeli troops stop ped it short of the frontier and stormed aboard early today, a military spokesman reported. "There was a storming and I cannot tell you as yet who is alive and who is dead," the spokesman said in Tel Aviv: Other sources said two hijackers were killed. ' Sources and witnesses reported that Israeli soldiers shot out the tires of the bus and punctured the fuel tank, then surrounded the immobilized vehicle. They said several people were wounded and others were held hostage on the bus by three or four armed guerrillas. Financial aid By DIANA BOSNIACK Staff Writer A proposal currently before a House subcommittee to extend the Higher Education Act of 1965 may determine whether college students can receive more money from federal government Pell Grants beginning in 1985. If the bill passes the Post-Secondary Education Subcommittee, Congress then will decide whether to reauthorize the Higher Education Act this year or delay its extension until next year. The act ex pires in 1985. "It's the omnibus legislation that con trols all federal aid to higher education," Marsha Wice, a staff member of the sub committee, said this week. The bill is like ly to pass the subcommittee and gain ap proval on the House floor but would face stiffer opposition in its Senate ver sion, Wice said. DTHJeff Neuville out baserunner in 7-2 win Thursday no area rapes proach several times. "We're not doing the same thing that we were doing before," Pendergraph said. "We're trying not to get locked into the point (where) we're predictable enough for him (the rapist) to alter the time and the day of the week that he operates," he said. Pendergraph said it is possible the rapist is being cautious because of the re cent publicity, which was generated by the police department's news conference on April 4. Rape attacks are not always predictable in cycles, Pendergraph said. He said 15 extra officers have been assigned to the case just from his depart ment. In addition, he said, the State Bureau of Investigation is helping with the investigation. The bus was seized about 7:30 p.m. be tween Ashdod and the Mediterranean port of Ashkelon, 30 miles south of Tel Aviv. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir con firmed the hijacking. The military sources said the Arabs boarded the bus, then pulled weapons and forced the driver to take it to the Egyptian border in the occupied Gaza Strip. The British Broadcasting Corp. reported that 41 people were aboard the bus when a band of at least five hijackers took it over. It said seven passengers escaped, but five of them were wounded, and a pregnant woman was released later. Israeli soldiers and border police patrolled the roads and set up numerous roadblocks in ine kjoIa atrip, vvinui bill now in subcommittee the 535-page bin, spoiiborcu vy Kep. Paul Simon, D-Ill., seeks to tie the amount of federal aid a college or uni versity receives in block grants to the number of students the institution has who receive Pell Grants or guaranteed student loans. Institutions with a higher number of Pell Grants or GSL recipients would receive less money under the stu dent aid block grant program. The measure, in general, would expand college aid programs, streamline federal student aid and try to help more poor students attend college, Wice said. If ex tended, the Higher Education Act would provide about $4 billion in federal student aid. One controversial provision of the bill would turn the Pell Grant into an en titlement program so it no longer would be' subject to the congressional appro priations process, according to a spokes man for Rep. Ike Andrews, D-4ih Francis Bacon Fewer N-4 lot spaces available By MIKE ALLEN Staff Writer The number of N-4 parking permits sold for the 1984-85 school year will be cut from 423 to 212, and none will be sold to off-campus students, according to . Larry Davis, leader of the Student Park ing Task Force. Because of construction of a new com puter science building behind Carroll Hall, 140 faculty spaces will be moved from the lot behind Carroll Hall to N-4 and N-5 lots on North Campus, Davis said Wednesday. Davis said 423 permits were sold this year for 353 N-4 spaces. He said there would be no overselling for the coming year. Davis said the approximately 180 N-4 spaces allotted to off-campus students this year would be redistributed on South Campus next year, either in the Hinton James lot, F-lot, or possibly the Craige lot. One benefit of the new plan would be an additional 140 spaces would be conve nient for off-campus students who study in Davis Library. Robert E. Sherman, director of securi ty services for University Police, said a plan was being considered to give graduate students, seniors and juniors priority in permit distribution for North Campus lots. The rising sophomore class will, for the most part, be sold South Campus permits. Student Body President Paul Parker said the new Student Activity Center lot could be used for commuter parking, but no resident permits would be sold for the lot. Parker said the lot would have to be cleared on game days for Rams Club parking. .The new lot will give the Rams Club an extra 1,000 spaces in addition to the lot behind Kenan Stadium. Charles Antle, associate vice chancellor of business, said parking per mit prices for the 1984-85 year would be increased by $1 per month, or $9 per per mit for the entire year. Parker said the in crease in price would help fund an in crease in shuttle bus activity to and from South Campus. "We are working on a comprehensive plan to prevent these same problems from appearing in the future," Parker said. He said there had not been a successful plan in the past, but there is a good chance a solution could finally be reached. Both Davis and Parker urged students to register for parking permits as soon as possible. Registration runs through May li in the Traffic Office, in the basement of the Campus Y, Israel captured from Egypt in the 1967 Middle East war. Meir Nairn, who works in a restaurant in a gas station 12 miles south of Ashkelon, said a young woman came in trembling between 7:30 and 8 p.m., said she had been on bus No. 300 from Tel Aviv tQ Ashkelon and got off because "four suspicious-looking Arabs got on." He said a man came in soon after and told a similar story. Nairn said he then reported to police that something might be wrong. The Israeli military censor blacked out. coverage of the hijacking for several hours. Nonetheless, rumors of the attack spread at both Shamir's Herut Party meeting and a caucus of the opposition Labor Party, which was choosing can didates for parliamentary elections. District. Simon's proposal to base block grants on the number of students receiving Pell Grants and GSLs has drawn opposition from the U.S. Student Association and the National Coalition of Independent College and University Students Douglass Hunt, special assistant to UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Ford ham III, said this week that private col leges could be hurt by the Simon bill. Students might have more incentive to at tend the less expensive public institutions because the grants would pay for a higher portion of their education, he said. "1 know that there is a division of opi nion in Washington whether it should be passed this year," he said.' "They (the subcommittee) members are aware of the institutions' interest inahe legislation." The bill's best chance for passage is this year before the presidential election, Hunt said.
