Volume 92, Issue 24 Thursday, April 19, 1984 Chapel Hill, North Carolina NwsSport 8 Arts 962-0245 BusinessAdvertising 962-1163 Martin lists main issues of campaign By WAYNE THOMPSON Political Editor Charlotte-area Congressman and Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Martin, speaking Wednesday in the Pit, didn't have a chalkboard to draw his for mula for victory in North Carolina. But he put it in words to about 200 students a broad-based coalition of support, with special emphasis on the state's Democrats who hold a 3-1 registration edge over Republicans. "Any Republican candidate will have to get a larger percentage of Democratic votes or lose," the former 12-year chemistry professor at Davidson College said, adding that he'll be able to follow in the footsteps of the only N.C. Republican governor elected this century, Jim Holshouser, when it comes to getting pro grams through the Democrat-controlled General Assembly. "Forty percent of the Democratic legislators have indicated they can work with me," he said. Martin said the main issues of his cam paign were schools, jobs and drug traf ficking. "How many of you are planning to go into public school teaching as a career?" Martin asked. Only two hands went up. "I believe part of that is because we're not giving teachers starting pay to attract them," he said. Martin has proposed a $330 million merit pay plan to include up to seven merit pay ladders with all teachers receiving a 12 percent increase in salary. "I believe you can evaluate a teacher's mastery of the curriculum ... and com petence," he said and added that some type of merit distinction had to be made in determining salaries. Otherwise, he said the state would be paying teachers the same whether they were "good, bad or indifferent." Martin praised the education efforts of Holshouser, who he said left the state ranked 20th nationally in teacher salaries. But since 1977, during the administration of Gov. Jim Hunt, North Carolina has slipped to 44th, Martin said. In response to a student's question about why gubernatorial candidates were talking about education, Martin pointed to the salary freeze imposed on state employees by Hunt. "Why have you stymied the steady growth in the last three years?" is the question Martin said the student should ask Hunt. "If there had been a steady growth, there would be no need for in creases in teacher salaries." The state is not doing enough to com bat drug trafficking, he said, calling for the creation of a bureau of narcotics and the use of the N.C. National Guard's fleet of 48 helicopters to crack down on drug smuggling and deliveries at the state's inlets.

North Carolina's senior right fielder belted three home runs to pace a 13-2 UNC victory in the first round of the ACC tournament at Durham Athletic Park. Wilkinson's homers tied a North' Carolina single-game record and broke the ACC tournament record. "The last time I hit three homers in a game was in Little League," Wilkinson told the throng of reporters gathered around him after the game. . Wilkinson connected for a two-run blast in the first inning off Deacon starter Erik Hanson to put the Tar Heels up 3-0. Jeff Hubbard had driven in B.J. Surhoff with a single before Wilkinson's shot to deep right field. He then connected for No. 2 leading off the third inning, on another opposite field job to right-center to make the score 4-0. Matt Merullo followed two pitches later with a home run of his own to put the Tar Heels up to five. Wilkinson's third shot of the day came in a five-run eighth inning, capping off the UNC scoring. This time, however, he hit the ball to left field, a line drive that left the park like a cannonball. "Yeah, Todd had a good day today," coach Mike Roberts said in the understatement of the year. Was Wilkinson aiming for Durham Athletic Park's short (305 feet) right field fence when he hit those opposite-field home runs? "No, he said. "I just happened to get a " lex r . : . s . ..

Larry Katzin, co-chairman of UNC with Hart, said Hart would leave Chapel Hill following tonight's campaign rally and would fly to Washington. Meanwhile, another Democratic can didate, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, will make campaign appearances today at the Raleigh-Durham Airport, Oxford, Henderson, Rocky Mount, Greenville and other Eastern North Carolina cities. Jackson spoke Wednesday at his alma mater, N.C. A&T University in Greens boro. Hart is scheduled to arrive at RDU to day at 4:15 p.m. and will hold a news conference there before traveling to Durham for an appearnce at St. Joseph's AME Church. From Durham the Col orado senator will make the trip to Chapel Hill. Todd Wilkinson is congratulated couple of fastballs that were on the out side part of the plate. I hit the ball where it was pitched." Wilkinson would not have needed to alter his swing anyway, because all three home runs would Have probably been home runs in Boshamer Stadium, the Tar Heels' home field. "When you're a senior, like Jeff (Hub bard) and Mitch (McCleney) and myself, you know it's the last tournament you're going to be involved in," Wilkinson said. "I want to do the best I can and loosen my teammates up by how I carry myself on the field. I want to go out with a bang." Wilkinson's efforts certainly loosened up his freshman teammate, pitcher Ken Turner, who got the victory in an eight inning, 10-strikeout performance. i Aim i n ' f 1 - - - 17 . vVcp trr-- PKUflt iMK :4 . ? -v, i;,-, 'J V.

' ' 1 The Democratic hopefuls are gearing top for the second round of major primaries that begins May 5 with the Texas caucuses and continues May 8 with primaries in North Carolina, Ohio and other states. North Carolina offers the lOth-largest prize in the total number of convention delegates with 88. Hart and Jackson, along with Walter Mondale, were in Missouri Wednesday morning to campaign in the Missouri caucuses. Mondale went into the caucuses aided by endorsements from prominent Democrats in the state and was expected to win a majority of the 75 delegates at stake. after hitting an ACC-tournament record Turner got the victory in his first start of the season against an ACC opponent, but things did not look so promising in the first inning. Turner loaded the bases with two outs, and pitching coach Howard McCullogh came out to the mound to calm him down. "He was a little nervous and anxious, starting in the ACC tourney as a freshman," McCullough said. "I told him that if he wasn't nervous, he wasn't human. When he relaxed and didn't try to overdo it just pitch as well as he can he handled it real well." Well enough, anyway. Turner got out of the first unscathed by striking out David Couch on a nasty breaking pitch, and the rout was on. Turner allowed nine hits and two home runs in eight-innings, but only four balls were hit with any r i I 1 Non-st uden band's t Boulton says action did not deprive band of seats By JANET OLSON Staff Writer Non-students used extra tickets allocated to members of the UNC pep band to enter Carmichael auditorium during past basketball season, including the 1983-84 season, according to UNC band members. Although in one case a non-student used a band uniform and played with the pep band, most non-students are past graduates of the band or friends of band members and get into Carmichael with pep band tickets, according to Allen Reep, assistant band director. Brian Gallagher, a former UNC stu dent, played as a member of the pep band during the 1982-83 basketball season. But Reep said he was unaware last year that Gallagher was not a student. Once other students brought the situation to his at tention, Reep said he told Gallagher he could no longer play with the pep band. Currently, Gallagher serves as an nouncer for the marching band, a volunteer position. He said he still receiv ed basketball tickets from the pep band. "To help keep me announcing, they occasionally give me a ticket,". Gallagher said. "That way the University saves a lot of money." Reep said he allowed other non students to use pep band tickets, in cluding band graduates, relatives of band members and his personal friends. "If you want to be literal about it, yes non-students did get in on pep band tickets," Reep said. Reep also said Donald Boulton, dean of student affairs, had received sideline passes for members of his family to enter Carmichael Auditorium. Boulton said he did not receive tickets, but he obtained special permits to enter Carmichael from Major John Yesulaitis, 4th District By WAYNE THOMPSON Political Editor The 4th District Democratic primary race took a new turn Wednesday night when incumbent Congressman Ike An drews joined his other primary op ponents, former Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee and Raleigh real estate developer John Winters Jr., in a candi dates' forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters in Chapel Hill the first time the three have made a joint ap pearance. Andrews said the forum held in the courtroom at the Franklin Street Post Of fice would be his only forum appearance in Orange County, with one each scheduled in Wake, Randolph, Chatham iiHCharff.v Ltfil'.m: three home runs Wednesday authority by Deacon hitters. "We were extremely pleased with Ken's performance today,", Roberts said. "He did an excellent job and he threw strikes." Catcher Matt Merullo agreed with Roberts. "His slider was breaking today, and he was really confident after he got over that shaky first inning," Merullo said. Meanwhile, UJMC's B.J. Surhoff set a new ACC tournament record by stealing four bases. Walt Weiss stole three and the Tar Heels set a new tournament record for stolen bases by one team with nine. Scott Bankhead, 9-0 on the season after his 5-1 win over Virginia Saturday, will get the starting nod today at 4:30 (WXYC, FM 89, beginning at 4:25) against Maryland. tsh ickets for band director. Boulton said he obtained the permits on several occasions several years ago for his son, his son's friends and students who were planning to attend the University. Because the permits were not assignments to seats in the pep band section, Boulton said he did not deprive a band member of a seat. 'I've known that there have been some people who have gotten in who aren V students here, and I don 't think that's exactly fair.' Tim Hood "There were several times when I received these passes. I wouldn't deny that for a minute," Boulton said. "As far as I know they were legitimate." Yesulaitis said he had given sideline passes to Boulton as well as to Sharon Mitchell, assistant dean for the Depart ment of Student Life. But he added that he only gave the passes away when he didn't need them for band purposes. Most of the passes went to visiting band delegates from other universities, Yesulaitis said. Boulton said he became aware of the ticket situation last year when a band member approached him with the pro blem. According to Boulton, he then spoke to Yesulaitis and asked that the director rectify the situation. "I don't believe that non-students should be using the tickets," Boulton said. "The band is a student organiza tion. When you graduate, you are an alumnus and there are other avenues open to you." Although the pep band consists of about 70 students, excluding alternates, the ticket office allocates the band 87 tickets for basketball games to allow members extra room for large in- hopefu Is discuss plans and Franklin, the other counties in the 4th Congressional District. "I'll get to one in each county, and that's about it," Andrews said. "I can't stop working to go to every one of these things like Lee and (Republican congressional candidate Bill) Cobey can." Lee, who has made "Where's Ike Andrews?" a campaign issue, returned to that theme in the two minute remark allowed each can didate under the rules established by the league. "Voting is only a Ike Andrews small part of a good congressman," Lee said. "If I am the congressman, I intend to be very ac cessible by maintaining the three offices that now exist and announcing the hours when people could come and see me." Lee's remarks were preceded by An drews, who began his two-minute cam paign speech with a joke. "My main in terest is trying not to lose my job," he said, drawing the most laughs of the 1-hour, 15-minute forum. He stressed his 12 years of experience in the House. "I know legislation, and I know the district," he said. "I have spent all my life living in three of the district's counties Orange, Randolph and Wake." Winters said he expected to be a full time congressman committed to reducing the federal deficit. While admitting that he lacked the political experience of his opponents, Winters said he has always participated in the Democratic Party, both as a delegate to the national con vention and as a supporter of President Jimmy Carter during the 1976 presiden tial campaign. Student-run advising approved by dean By ALLISON SMOAK Staff Writer A pilot project for a student advising service received approval from Donald Jicha, dean of the General College, Tues day, said Jane Gordon, chairperson of the Student Government Task Force on Academic Advising. Student volunteers will serve as ad visers in Morrison, Cobb, Connor, Stacy, Graham and Granville South. Gordon said she had also been working closely with the Panhellenic Council and the In lerfraternity Council to establish the pro gram in sorority and fraternity houses. The project should get underway this fall in time for spring 1985 pre-registration, she said. Although students will still have to go through their faculty adviser for pre registration, having student advisers Eleanor Doan d ave use games struments such as drums and tubas. According to Ken Brown, ticket office manager, the 87 tickets are allocated to pep band members v,vo are registered students at the Unive ;ity, and he was unaware that non-students were using tickets. "As far as I know, the tickets should only be going to band members," Brown said. "The pep band gets 87 tickets and there never have been any questions asked." , Yesulaitis said he returns unused tickets to the ticket office after the games. During the past season, he returned eight or 10 tickets for about three games, ac cording to Jane Carter, assistant ticket manager. Yesulaitis said tickets sometimes go to alternate players in the pep band. Because these students must turn in their athletic passes to the ticket office, they must use pep band tickets to attend games. In addition, students sometimes took extra tickets because they wanted the Hardees coupons printed on the reverse sides," Yesulaitis said. But he added he was unaware of non-students using pep band tickets. "It's not something I condone," he said. "If it has happened, no one has brought it to my attention." Band President David Bagnal said he didn't feel the band was doing anything illegal or unbecoming. Although . no public announcement has been made See BAND on page 3 "What qualifies me is the same thing that qualifies (presidential candidate) Gary Hart," he said. "I have been active in the Democratic Party in politics since I was in the voting age." Real estate experience has given him a good business background on which' to analyze defense issues, he said. "I feel that I'm able by virtue of my business background to analyze the costs of different programs," Winters said. Aside from the two-minute speeches on their campaigns, the candidates were given two minutes to answer questions which had been submitted to them in ad vance. The questions dealt with the federal government's role in public education, the proper way to balance off the need for national security against the threat of nuclear war, and clean water legislation and standards. Winters, the first to speak on educa tion, called the government an informa tion bank which spawns ideas for educa tional systems in the states. But before answering the education question, he talked about voter regis tration until catching himself. He later apologized for his apparent difficulty in answering some of the questions. "I apologize if I seem a little bit sluggish, but I am," Winters said. "I'm usually not at a loss for words." Andrews said the government should be responsible for providing and main taining such programs as the Pell Grants and Guaranteed Student Loans. As proof of his committment to education, he said both the National Education Association and the N.C. Association of Educators had given him a 100 rating. Lex- agreed with Auutew that the government should set policy, but said more could be done in eradicating il literacy. available in the dorms should provide more immediate information for stu dents. "They might not feel so lost if they can have a student that they can go to," Gordon said. She said that while Jicha approved the pilot project, his main objection was that student advisers could give incorrect in formation. But this should not be a major problem, Gordon said, because students would still have to obtain approval for pre-registration from their faculty ad viser. Gordon said through student advising, students could be made more aware of some of the services offered on campus such as tips on dealing with stress from Nash Hail or internship workshops through the Career Planning and Place ment Center in Hanes Hall.
