The Associated Press
DALLAS Federal agents believe
they foiled a pair of terrorists plots
against the GOP convention, including
a plan for an ultralight aircraft attack,
by arresting nine Iranians and Palestine
Liberation Organization supporters,
officials said Wednesday.
The alleged plots never were con
firmed, officials said, but they said that
threats had been made.
The nine were arrested before and
during last week's GOP presidential
nominating session and were all charged
with violating their immigration status,
sd Ronald Chandler, Immigration
and Naturalization Service district
director
The agency refused to release the
names of the nine.
"The Secret Service and or the FBI
had information on the students com
municating threats against the conven
tion and possible involvement with the
PLO," Chandler said.
"The Iranians were alleged to have
been involved in some plot involving
an ultralight aircraft," he said. "We
questioned these individuals and deter
mined they were out of their immigra
tion status either because they were
working or had overstayed their student
visas."
Federal investigators did not elabo
rate on what type of attack they thought
might be conducted with the aircraft,
most of which have tiny motors and
wings of nylon fabric, and do not
require pilots' licenses.
Nevertheless, sharpshooters were
assigned to watch the airspace around
the convention center for suspicious
aircraft, federal officials said.
Chandler said he did not have a
breakdown of how many were from
what Middle Eastern country, "but I
can tell you they were a combination
of Iranians, Jordanians and Syrians."

At the conventions, UN C students live it up
By TOM CONLON
Staff Writer
While most UNC students caught bits
of the Republican and Democratic
national conventions this summer through
the T.V. networks, five Tar Heels got a
delegate 's-eye-view of the hoopla in San
Francisco and Dallas.
Zee Lamb, a second-year law student
from Nags Head, served as a Gary Hart
delegate alongside Hart alternate Larry
Katzin, a junior political science major
from Raleigh.
Ray Shimer, president of UNC's
College Republicans, and members David
Balmer and Mike Barnhill worked in
Dallas as pages accounting for three
of North Carolina's five pages chosen to
attend the Republican convention.
Lamb, politically active for several
years in his home 1st Congressional
District, captured, the district's nomina
tion as a Hart delegate, spending the week
of July 15-19 voting, partying and ironing
out problems.
"We had caucus meetings every morn

All nine were released on bond after
the convention and will face deportation
hearings, he said. No date has been set
for the hearings.
Secret Service agent David Humph
rey said "an intensive investigation" was
launched by his agency and the FBI
after allegations surfaced about threats
to the convention and President
Reagan.
However, he said, agents "never
confirmed or substantiated anything in .
the investigation" and "it was substan
tailly resolved ... by the last day" of the
convention.
FBI Special Agent U.H. Specht
declined to comment Wednesday. "We
didn't make any arrests and beyond
that, I can't give you any. comment. In
that area of our work, we can't make
much comment."
Deputy Police Chief William New
man, who was in charge of convention
security for the Dallas police, said the
investigation focused on "a loosely
organized group of foreign nationals."
Newman said threats were made
"against the president indirectly and
against the convention and convention
related activities directly," and were
checked out thoroughly.
"Anytime you have ah event like this
you are going to have a certain amount
of threats," he said. "It's fair to say these
were taken seriously."
The Dallas Times Herald quoted
federal sources Wednesday as saying
concern about potential danger from
the groups, even after the nine were
jailed, led to changes in dignitaries'
motorcade routes and increased security
and surveillance around the convention
center,
Dallas police, Secret Service and FBI
agents went to ultralight flight parks
and companies around Dallas to find
out about people who had inquired
about renting aircraft, the newspaper
said.

into session and had a lot of receptions,"
Lamb said. "Gary Hart's and Jesse
Jackson's speeches were the highlights of
the convention as they both .addressed
important issues.
"But ten or twenty years from now I
will remember this convention as the one
that nominated the first woman vice
president in history."
Lamb got a chance to enjoy the sights
of San Francisco. "I met a lot of different
people and had a chance to do a lot of
things I went shopping, took a yacht
cruise with some North Carolinians and
attended a lot of receptions. Our biggest
reception (sponsored by California Assem
bly Speaker Willie Brown, D-San Fran
cisco,) was at Pier 39 on the waterfront
the night before the convention opened."
Lamb said the convention's low point
came when state party delegations cast
their ballots and Hart lost states he carried
in the primaries because of uncommitted
delegates.

Another chance for fee increase?
CGC bill allows easier passage
ByJlMZOOK
Staff Writer
The Campus Governing Council last
night passed a measure that would allow
easier passage of a Student Activites Fee
increase.
Approval from a simple majority
instead of two-thirds of voting
students would be sufficient to raise fees
in a referendum. As before, the bill also
requires a turnout of 20 percent of the
student body.
The measure now goes to Student
Body President Paul Parker, who has
10 school days to take action on the
bill. Parker said last night he did not
know if he would sign or veto the bill.
Under the new ruling, last February's
referendum for a $1.50- per-semester
increase, in student fees would have
passed easily. Although more than 20
percent of the student body voted, the
measure fell 0.4 of a percentage point
short of the necessary two-thirds
approval.
A simple majority is 50 percent plus
one vote.
"I think this is just the start, with
many more developments on the way,"
said Tim Newman (Dist. 1 1), who voted
for the bill.
Although the new bill affects all
Mondale should be the nominee because
he deserved it and paid his dues to the
party," he said. "I like Mondale and I will
support him in the fall, but I don't think
he can win like Gary Hart could have."
Uncommitted delegates gave Mondale
victories in New Hampshire and Ohio on
the convention floor, although Hart won
both in popular votes.
"A more positive part was being a Hart
whip and getting people to vote on his
platform issues," he said. "I was impressed
by the courage of N.C. State Sen. Bob
Jordan (a candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor) who, as an uncommitted delegate,
voted for the elimination of runoff
primaries and cast his vote for Gary Hart
when most of. the party leadership did
otherwise."
Katzin, former president of UNC With
Hart, shared Lamb's view of the nom
ination. "It was very distressing to see in
advance I wasn t sure if it was what
I expected or not that Hart could not
get the delegates when he had the popular
vote. But the hopeful thing 'was to see

referendums, the most common type of
referendum involves a change in the
amount paid in Student Activities Fees,
which the CGC distributes to campus
organizations.
Two amendments to the bill were
considered but both were defeated. One,
sponsored by Parker, would have
deleted the 20- percent turnout require
ment. It was defeated 14-5.
The other amendment, sponsored by
Doug Berger (Dist. . I), would' have
required nothing but a two-thirds
majority of any number of voting
students. It was defeated 12-6.
Ryke Longest (Dist. 10) supported
the bill, but said he would prefer a
simple-majority format. He also said he
did not believe the election format was
the major issue, and that the council
should focus its efforts in other areas
concerning elections.
"I don't see this thing as being as
complicated an issue as some other
people do," Longest said. "I believe the
reason students don't vote is inconven
ience. As the CGC, we should concern
ourselves with getting out more voters."
Patricia Wallace (Dist. 16) also said
she liked a simple majority, but she1
plans to re-evaluate the delegate selection
process, which will be fair to all
candidates."
Katzin, like Lamb, spent his time off
the floor of the Moscone" Center meeting
members of the North Carolina delegation
at receptions and social gatherings. But
he said the highlight of the convention
was "seeing democracy in action and
listening to the keynote speakers, whose
themes were clear as to what the Demo
crats were offering and who they were
offering to."
Several weeks later, Shimer, Balmer
. and Barnhill got a chance to serve as pages
to the Republican convention in Dallas.
All were selected based on applications
to the Republican state conventioin as
requested by N.C. GOP chairman David.
Flaherty.
Neither the Republican or Democratic
parties financed the UNC student's trips
to Dallas or San Francisco.

voted against the bill. Expecting more
debate over this matter in the. future,
Wallace said she hoped there would be
more of a sense of direction during
debate.
"I hope we can get a list -of factors
that affect this bill," she said. "There
didnt seem to be any purpose (during
the debate). There wasn't any
leadership."
The remainder of business during the
semester's first meeting was mainly
housekeeping. It approved the actions
of the summer CGC, and heard reports
from Parker, Speaker Reggie Holley,
Speaker Pro Tern Newman and each
of the three committee chairpersons.
In his report, Parker noted the status
of hardship parking permit applica
tions. Parker and his staff originally
expected about 1,000 applications, he
said. However, approximately 2,000
applications have been turned in for the
500 permits that will be distributed as
hardship permits. Friday is the final day
to apply for these permits, and a final
decision on who will receive these
permits will be made by September 7,
Parker said.
Player dodges plaster

Hoping to pummel his opponent
in a round of raquetball, sophomore
Chris Dillon Tuesday found himself
pounded by pieces of plaster as part
of Fetzer' gym's ceiling hailed down
on him.
Dillon and sophomore Adam
Ogburn were resting in raquetball
court 219 in Fetzer before beginning
their fifth game to break the 2-2 tie
and determine who would win their
$10 bet.
After standing in the back court
for 10 minutes catching his breath,
Dillon watched as the rubber ball
rolled toward front court. When the
5-11, 168-pound player went to
retrieve the ball, he was showered
in a rain of plaster as part of the
ceiling fell, striking Dillon on his arm
and back.

asks for
better seats
in center
By MIKE ALLEN
Sta Writer
A request has been filed with the
members of the Student Activities
Center steering committee asking for a
change ' in a section of student seating
in the new Student Activity Center, said
Student Body President Paul Parker
Wednesday.
According to a letter sent by Parker
and Carolina Athletic Association
President Jennie Edmundson, a prop
osal was made to the steering committee
to exchange a section of student seating
behind the backboard for one behind
the Carolina bench. This proposal
would add 13 lower level seats to those
already allotted to the Educational
Foundation (Rams Club) and give the
students a much better position in which
to not only see but get involved in the
action of basketball games.
Although undecided by the commit
tee, the proposal is supported by
basketball coach Dean Smith, Athletic
Director John Swofford and Chancel
lor Christopher Fordham, Parker said.
Although students are receiving a larger
number of seats in the facility than the
Educational Foundation, "they are
being asked to sacrifice quality and
number in the lower section to do so,"
according to the letter.
Right now, the administration is
"trying to get a handle on exactly how
many donor seats have been taken,"
Swofford said. The Educational Foun
dation has received more large dona
tions than originally anticipated, thus
causing an overflow of the $25,000 to
$100,000 seats into the $10,000 seats,
he said.

University Massage on W. Franklin
Street reopened yesterday after being
closed as the result of a police under
cover operation, but three of the parlor's
employees will stand trial today on
charges of solicitation of various sexual
offenses.
The three women will each face
charges for solicitation of prostitution,
and two of them will also be tried for .
solicitation of crimes against nature, or
offenses against public morality.
The charges are the result of a joint
undercover investigation by the Chapel
Hill and Durham Police Departments.
"The investigation was more or less
the result of complaints from business
men in the area, and as a general rule,
we try to monitor activities there," said
Detective Barry Thompson of 'the
Chapel Hill Police Department.
Thompson headed the investigation
whicfi ended in July with the arrests of
eight people associated with the mas
sage parlor.
Thompson said that closing Univer
sity Massage was only a temporary
measure, in effect until the investigation
was completed. He was unaware that

"I'd noticed a crack in the ceiling
but I thought it looked pretty
secure," Dillon said. Although
suffering from a sore back and
bruised arm, he received a good
report from Student Health Service
today.
"I heard this rumble and looked
straight up and saw all this stuff
come falling down," he said. "We
didn't know whether to laugh or not.
It was kind of funny with plaster and
gravel lying all over the floor. I just
got out as fast as I could.
"I didn't see how big it was
the pieces that fell were probably
about 4 feet by 3 feet," Dillon said.
"It was broken into four or five
pieces, one hit me and it probably
weighed about 20 pounds."

have only been open since 1981,
