RALEIGH Gov. Jim Hunt
refused yesterday to grant clemency for
convicted murderer Velma Barfield,
who is scheduled to die Nov. 2 for
poisoning her boyfriend.
"Mrs. Barfield should pay the max
imum penalty for her crimes, Hunt said
at a news conference at about 5:15 p.m.
in his state Capitol office. "There is no
question of her guilt.
"After carefully looking at the issues,
I don't believe that the ends of justice
or deterrence would be served by my
intervention in this case, Hunt said.
I cannot in good conscience justify
making an exception to the law as
enacted by our state Legislature, or
overruling those 12 jurors who, after
hearing the evidence, concluded that
Mrs. Barfield should pay the maximum
penalty for her brutal actions, he said.

Delta Tau Delta fraternity, whose
members dispersed after its house was
condemned Aug. 1, may reestablish its
chapter on campus as early as fall 1985,
according to Greg Kazarian, represen
tative from the national Delta Tau Delta
organization.
Steve Hutson, assistant dean of
fraternity affairs in the Department of
Student Life, said the fraternity would
remain an official University
recognized group until Sept 30.

Vice Chancellor and Dean of Student

comment yesterday but said in an
interview Wednesday: "We are working
with the cheerleaders and the band to
try to integrate the things that we are
looking for in a mikeman. At the end
of the season well know what we need.
We are going to find one (in some way)
other than just by luck.
The mikeman position was vacated
in the middle of last fall by Kenny Ward,
who resigned following a request issued
grandmother, was sentenced to death
in 1978 for poisoning her boyfriend,
Stuart Taylor of St. Pauls. She con
fessed on the witness stand that she also
poisoned three other people including
her mother, but was not charged in
those deaths.
Barfield, the only woman on death
row in North Carolina, could become
the first female executed in the United
States in 22 years and the first in the
state since the 1940s.
She would have the option of dying
in the gas chamber or by lethal injection.
"I have listened to supporters of
Barfield for clemency and her attor
neys," Hunt said. "I have also listened
to the views of those who oppose
clemency, including relatives and
friends of Mrs. Barfields victims.

well go with that.

the fraternity on campus was intitiated

Last spring Vice Chancellor and
Dean of Student Affairs Donald Boul

Major John Yesulaitis, director of the
Marching Tar Heels, opted not to renew
the mikeman position for the 1984
season because of the outcome of
Ward's appointment to the job and the
confusion that followed his resignation.
Said Yesulaitis: "When a privilege is
abused, there is sometimes a need just

The U.S. Supreme Court last month
rejected Barfield's request for a new
trial. Her attorneys said then they would
forego further court appeals and focus
on attempting to persuade Hunt, a
death penalty supporter, to grant
executive clemency.
Under the state Constitution, Hunt
was empowered to prescribe for Barfield
any sentence he wishes.
Hunt met last week with people on
both sides of the clemency question,
including Barfield's attroneys, clergy

Athletic Department
profits under Swofford
, By SCOTT FOWLER
Assistant Sports Editor
Editor's note: This is the first of a
weekly series on the UNC athletic
department.
The UNC athletic department has
suffered from several misconceptions
concerning the revenues and expendi
tures of its $9.13 million budget,
according to UNC Athletic Director
John Swofford.
"Many people think we receive state
funds, and we dont," Swofford said.
"We dont use Educational Foundation
money either. We're required to be a
financially self-sustaining organization.
We receive no University or state
funding other than the student fee
money." More than $1 million in
student fees goes to the department each
year.
A second resource is the scholarship
budget, projected at $1.5 million this
year, which is paid by private contri
butions to the Educational Foundation,
also known as the Rams Club. The
foundation is the primary fund raising
institution on campus, although the
athletic department itself is also an
integral part of the fund-raising.
"The ACC is way ahead of the rest
of the nation in terms of fund-raising,"
Swofford said. "If you ranked the top
10 (fund-raising programs), I bet half

Athletic department plans development center
By SCOTT FOWLER
Assistant Sports Editor
The UNC athletic department will
fund a $1.4 million student-athlete
development center to be located
adjacent to Kenan Fieldhouse and
tentatively scheduled to be completed
in the spring of 1986, Athletic Director
John Swofford said yesterday.
"The center will serve several pur
poses," Swofford said. "It will be a two
story facility, with the upstairs devoted
to academic counseling. It will contain
a small language lab, a computer room,
tutor's offices, reading rooms, a room
to be used for our study halls and an
office that could be used periodically
by a sports psychologist"
The bottom level of the facility will
house a weight room and a rehabili
tation center. UNC trainers and sports
medicine personnel will staff the first
"We're very positive about anything
that will help our team, but this year
may be a transition period. No one has

would come from the ACC. The ACC
got started with it earlier because our
football stadiums aren't as large and
didn't generate as large a ticket revenue.
So the need arose sooner."
Both budgets considered, the athletic
department apportions over $10 million
a year, most of it going directly to
UNC's 26 varsity sports. Some is kept
each year in a reserve fund.
"In 1 976 when I came here as assistant
athletic director the program had had
three straight years of operating in the
red and we had depleted the reserve
fund to $38,000," Swofford said. "Since
then weVe been able to operate in the
black, and the reserves have gotten back
up."
The reserve fund currently has over
$2 million in it. "Well turn around and
put some of that money into developing
and maintaining quality facilities for
our athletes, like the tennis center,"
Swofford said, referring to a $350,000
complex to be completed in spring 1985
at the old Country Club courts.
A much bigger expenditure will be
an academic development center for
student-athletes. The UNC Board of
Trustees recently approved $1.4 million
for that project.
The tennis and student-athlete centers
will bring the reserve fund down to

floor. The center will be connected by
a breezeway to Kenan Fieldhouse.
"It will be a support service for the
student-athletes," said Paul Hoolahan,
assistant athletic director.
Farris Womack, vice chancellor of
business and finance, said the idea for
the development center was not new.
"Mr. Swofford discussed the idea with
me about a year ago. It was proposed
and approved at the last meeting of the
Board of Trustees . . . that must have
been in late August," Womack said.
The $1.4 million cost is projected,
since sealed bids have not been accepted
yet, Swofford said. The money will
come out of the athletic department
reserve fund, which currently contains
a little over $2 million. A large portion
of that revenue came as a result of ticket
sales and television contracts for
football and men's basketball.

but the cheerleaders seemed effective so
we thought we would try it without the
mikeman after last season's confusion,"
Yesulaitis said. "Just because we dont
have a mikeman now doesnt mean the
idea is a dead issue by any means."
Ward's game routine was criticized
by students and alumni as being in poor
taste, and included racial and ethnic
jokes as well as jokes with sexual
overtones.

CGA to
copyright
'Lambda '
By LISA SWICEGOOD
Staff Writer
The Carolina Gay Association dis
cussed plans Wednesday to obtain a
common law copyright to prevent The
Landmark from printing articles and
advertisements from Lambda, the CGA
publication.
In January of 1984, Bob Windsor,
publisher of The Landmark, ran an
article saying Gov. Jim Hunt was
receiving money from gay political
activists. This prompted groups such as
the Triangle Area Lesbians in Durham
to send letters of boycott to the
businesses that advertise in The Land
mark. Windsor, in turn, decided to give all
the businesses that advertise in the area
gay publications Lambda and Front
Page free advertising in 77ie
Landmark.
"But he is really planning on having
all his readers boycott these businesses,"
said the CGA administrative coordina
tor, who asked his name not be
published. "He says he is doing the free
advertising out of kindness."
Bob Windsor was unavailable for
comment yesterday.
Through the UNC Legal Services, the
CGA is now in the process of getting
a copyright that would prevent Windsor
from doing this.
. Windsor, however, is not only foc
using on the CGA. "He is directing his
hostility at all gays, and the ones in
North Carolina in particular," said the
CGA coordinator.
"He is trying to frighten us into not
printing," said Charlotte sophomore
Robert Pharr, CGA co chairperson.
"I think it really bothers him that there
are gay publications and he wants to
do as much damage as he can to us,"
Pharr said.
"Bob is obsessed with homosexual
ity," said the other CGA co chairper
son, who also asked not to be identified.
"There is not much we can do as a group
except to inform our members of what
businesses not to go to. We do not want
non-sympathetic people to get hold of
our names."
In order to unite lesbians with the
CGA, the group has decided to change
the name of its organization. They
agreed to form a committee to solicit
name suggestions from gay publica
tions. The committee will then check
back with the CGA Management Board
before making a final decision.
The name change will be at least a
month away and will not become
official for at least a year.
The CGA also voted to make the term
of their membership in the organization
from the end of November to November
of the next year. Officers will take office
at the beginning of the first business
meeting.
The Mental Health department of
Student Health Services is forming a
Support Group for gays. A person from
the Support Group will be at the next
CGA meeting to answer questions.
Gay Awareness Week is scheduled for
the end of November.
"It should go out for bid about
November," Swofford said. "We have
to totally settle on the design first. It
usually takes several months once you
begin accepting sealed bids, so spring
would be a realistic guess as to when
we break ground. Then it would take
around a year to complete."
Swofford said he believed the facility
was needed partly to consolidate and
improve the athletic study system. "At
times the athletic study halls have been
held in the Rams Room (in the field
house) or on campus. The academic
counselors offices are presently in
Kenan fieldhouse. This will help bring
all those things together.
"We feel like the center is very
consistent with our dedication to having
a balance between athletics and academ
ics. (The center) will be a tremendous
addition to the campus," Swofford said.
