UNC students protest invasion
By AMY STYERS

The one-year anniversary of the
U.S. invasion of Grenada prompted
more criticism of President Reagan's
foreign policy than praise.
Protesters of the invasion drew a
crowd of about 200 students in the
Pit, while less than 30 Reagan foreign
policy supporters gathered to hear a
former Grenada medical student
speak in Great Hall.
"The invasion was a complete and
utter violation of international law,
said Dale McKinley, a speaker for
National Student Peace Day which
was organized by Students Taking"
Action for Nuclear Disarmament,
Carolina Committee on Central Amer
ica, Democratic Socialists of America
and Internationalist Books.
"Ronald Reagan has not given any
indication whatsoever that he stands
up for human rights anywhere in the
world," said McKinley, a graduate
student in international relations.
"Evidently, people enjoy listening to
lies," said Mike Barnhill, vice chair
man of UNC College Republicans.
The College Republicans, along with
the USA Foundation, a national
conservative student group, sponsored
Student Liberation Day in celebration
of the year-old invasion.

Student Government endorsed the
proposed Franklin Street extension
yesterday in a letter to Carrboro Mayor
Jim Porto.
Paul Parker, student body president,
said the Campus Governing Council
decided to endorse the extension for
reasons of traffic and taxes.
The Franklin Street extension is a
proposed bond issue which will be voted
on Nov. 6. If approved, the plan would
continue Franklin Street at its west end,
so that the street would run parallel to
Main Street in Carrboro. The plan has
fallen under controversy recently
because the extension would have to run
through an existing neighborhood,
displacing people and houses.
Supporters of the plan say that the
extension would alleviate many Car

As the Student Activities Center and
UNC Tennis Center near completion
and as plans unfold for the Athletic
Development Center, the University is
moving closer to its goal of accommo
dating its 26 varsity teams, Athletic
Director John Swofford said
Wednesday.
"In the next five or six years, we won't
have the need to develop facilities after
we complete the three projects we're
working on now," Swofford said in
reference to the SAC, tennis complex
and athletic center.
The SAC, now scheduled for com
pletion in the late spring or early
summer 1985, will affect almost the

the low turnout. College Republicans
had tried to reserve the Pit but
National Student Peace Day already
had it, he said.
The two groups presented their
opposing views together in a less
hostile atmosphere when Rosemary
"Classi, the Grenada medical student,
was invited to speak along with Lars
Schoultz, associate chairman of the
political science department and a
guest speaker for National Student
Peace Day .
The United States interpreted
Grenada's steps toward independence
as communist aggression, Schoultz
told a group of about 40 people in
the Union following the main National
Student Peace Day and Student
Liberation Day activities. The moti
vation of the invasion was not to save
the students, he said, but what the
administration saw as communist
expansion.
"If we were there only to save the
students, we would have left when they
left," Schoultz said. "But we're still in
businesses. Businesses are now building
out of the main section of Carrboro
because of lack of space.
Parker said the decision was made
with the students best interests in mind.
"We first looked at it in a selfish light
as far as students are concerned," he
said. "Traffic is the main reason (for
the decision). It does seem the extension
is the best alternative route for Car
rboro," he said.
Parker added that the extension
would help reduce taxes for students
in Carrboro.
"It (the extension) really does help
students. Currently, 89 percent of
Carrboro taxes come from home or
property taxes, which are paid in part
by students, (who) make up a large part
of the population of Carrboro. Because
of commercial interest (in the exten
sion), it would eventually shift the tax
base from 89 percent to 75 percent,"
entire athletic program, Swofford said.
"(The SAC) has its obvious merits," he
said. "But some of its advantages aren't
so obvious.
"The SAC will cause a positive chain
reaction for the department by opening
offices for the non-revenue coaches in
. Carmichael Auditorium. The P.E.
department has been generous to share
some of their room with us, and some
of the non-revenue coaches' offices were
literally built for closets."
From a fan's perspective, those
benefits include the 22,000 seats in the
main arena and the 1,200 seats around
the Olympic-sized, 10-lane swimming
pool. The SAC will contain offices for
the basketball coaches, the Sports
Information Department, ticket sales
and the Educational Foundation.
Funding of the SAC is being handled
by. the Educational Foundation, also
known as the Rams Club, which has

there today."
Classi said the Marines deserved all
the respect our country could give
them. "I don't know a lot about,
politics ... I know I was an American
in a foreign country, away from my
family and friends, and the American
government came and took care of
us," she said.
Activities in the Pit focused on
criticism of Reagan. Ashley Osment,
co-chairman of the STAND, asked the
crowd what it thought of polls indi
cating college students strong support
for Reagan. Students responded with
boos and hisses. "Ronald Reagan's
mind died 20 or 30 years ago," she
said.
. Joseph Straley, professor of physics
and astronomy, said students were the
driving force in America. He asked
students to write a letter to Jim Hunt
on Nov. 7, congratulating him on his
victory over Sen. Jesse Helms.-

Parker said.
Porto said that although he had not
yet received the letter, he was pleased
with the endorsement.
"I applaud the student body president
and the Student Government for taking
the long range view in support of the
extension. I think it's one of those
decisions that need to be made to
preserve the quality of life in Carrboro,"
Porto said.
Residents of Carrboro who are
opposed to the extension said they
believe it will bring more traffic
problems and will change existing bike
lanes. Concern has also been expressed
that the extension would lead to higher
crime rates and deteriorating conditions
in Carrboro.

accumulated more than $38 million in
pledges but has collected only $25
million to date. Swofford said enough
of the pledges should be fulfilled to pay
for the SAC.
Neal Harrell, the Rams Club's vice
president of administration, said the
SAC will be "one of the finest multiple
purpose complexes in the country." The
arena will be a welcome addition, since
Carmichael Auditorium seats only
10,000, he said.
Carmichael will become the non
revenue sports center, Swofford said,
although the women's basketball team
will use the SAC. The gymnastics,
fencing, wrestling and volleyball teams
will continue to use Carmichael.
While the S AC's basketball arena has
received most of the media attention,
the new pool will be a welcome sight,
Harrell said.

Grenada future unclear
By FRANK PROCTOR
SUIT Writer
One year ago yesterday, still recoil
ing from tragedy in Beirut, the United
States invaded Grenada. The conquest
was the first real military success for
American forces since Vietnam, and
the move received overwhelming
popular support. Victory in Grenada
became part of the "New American
Patriotism."
In the flurry preceeding the inva
sion, one leftist regime gave way to
another and the tiny island seemed on
the verge of anarchy. The ostensible
reason for the American move was to
rescue U.S. students in Grenada. But
another motivation was present the
desire to stop what was perceived as
a Soviet-Cuban satellite in the
Carribbean.
Time has brought some perspective
to the invasion. Grenada itself seems
a very different place. Only a handful
of U.S. Military Police remain and
free elections are scheduled for Dec.
3. For the first time in history,
Grenada has a chance to choose its
leaders.
They have a wide choice. Eric Gairy,
the military dictator who ruled Gren
ada from 1951 to 1979 (when he was
ousted by leftist revolutionary Mau
rice Bishop), has returned from exile
and will be a candidate for prime
"It will eliminate five houses, which
is unfortunate. I wouldn't be too happy
if someone came and tore down my
house, but we really did take them (the
residents) into account with sensitivity.
The extension will help build and form
the town of Carrboro. Growth has been
going on, growth is going on, and
growth will go on. You just have to
recognize the growth of Carrboro and
plan for it," Parker said.
Porto agreed with Parker. "I under
stand and am saddened by it bearing
the cost of the project, but I think
everyone will benefit ffrom the exten
sion. I have a committment not to tear
down any house. People are concerned
. . . (this) gives us incentive to help
preserve the quality of life," Porto said.
Porto said that the effects of the
extension would not immediately be felt
by students. Because of the cost of the
project, taxes will be raised slightly, at

SAC's pool and Bowman-Gray," Har
rell said. "Well be able to have Olympic
trials there, and we could hold the
NCAA finals if needed."
The tennis center, which should be
completed in February, has already
been slated as the site of the men's
NCAA finals in April. Men's coach
Allen Morris hopes the complex will
be finished in time for UNC's season
opener, scheduled for Feb. 23.
The center is comprised of 16 courts,
a field house and concrete seating for
1,000. "It will depend on the weather
as far as completion goes," Morris said.
"They can't pour the concrete for the
stands if it's freezing. I sure hope it's
ready for the finals in April."
Morris said the complex will be one
of the best in the East, and only

minister. The Maurice Bishop Memor
ial Foundation, which advocates a
return to Bishop's policies, will also
field a candidate. Finally, there is the
New National Party, supported by the
United States.
But where is Grenada really headed?
Lars Schoultz, who traveled to Gren
ada this summer to study the impact
of the American invasion on education
and freedom of expression, asserts
that many of the positive reforms of
the Bishop regime have been dis
mantled. "We have destroyed the
Grenadian education system,"
Schoultz said. The Bishop government
had built schools, trained teachers,
and brought in educators from aborad
(mostly from Cuba). Bishop had
increased the number of Grenadians
studying abroad from three to 209. All
that has ended now, and it has not
been replaced by a major American
effort in the area of education.
Only a few weeks ago, Congress
allocated the money to rebuild 17 of
the 35 schools that have been in
disrepair since the invasion. A first
grade textbook that was free under
Bishop's education program now costs
$8. The per capita income in Grenada
is between $500 and $1,000 a year.
"That means some kids just won't

first, to help pay offset the cost of the
extension. Porto said that the extension
would eventually benefit everyone in
Carrboro.
"It turns out that in the first year
(after the extension), residents would
pay $1.50 more a month in taxes. After
that, taxes will go down, and go down,
so that by the fifth year, the town of
Carrboro will be making money which
will shift the burden (of taxes) from the
taxpayer to businesses," Porto said.
Porto said all citizens should be
aware of the issue and vote Nov. 6. He
said the city published a pamphlet about
the extension which was distributed to
all residents. Any resident who did not
get a pamphlet, or anyone who wants
more information, should call the
Carrboro Town Hall.

have 16 here, Morris said."I think they
can seat 750 or 800 there."
Morris said the students and faculty
will be able to use the complex at almost
any time. "There should be four courts
open when the teams practice," Morris
said.
The development center, like the
tennis center, receives sponsorship from
the Carolina Athletic Association and
is scheduled for 1986 completion. The
athletic department generates 85 per
cent of the CAA's funds.
Although the department is still
receiving bids for the construction of
the development center, Swofford
estimated a completion date of spring
1986. The projected cost is $1.4 million.
On one level of the building, the
academic support center will include
language and computer labs, tutorial
services, and study halls with carrels for
the student-atheletes.

University Housing Director Wayne
Kuncl yesterday approved an increase
in housing fees of 75 cents per semester
to go to the Residence Hall Association.
The increase, which will go into effect
in fall 1985, was supported by voters
Tuesday in an RHA referendum and
by the RHA Board of Governors
Wednesday. The board, by a 16-4
margin, voted to recommend that Kuncl
accept the vote. Slightly more than 10
percent of on-campus residents partic
ipated in Tuesday's election. RHA
President Mark Stafford had said he
would not send the election results to
Kuncl if less than 10 percent voted.
Kuncl said he wished more students
had voted Tuesday, but he made his
decision based on those students who
did vote.
"I'd certainly like to have seen a larger
voter turnout, but under these circum
stances, since we have 10 percent of the
students (in residence halls) voting, it
leads me to believe that there is a base
of support for this on campus," Kuncl
said.
Kuncl added that the rent increase
would allow Student Government to
give the $4,000 it usually gives to RHA
to other organizations.
The measure has been added to the
housing department's budget, which is
scheduled for final approval next week.
According to RHA Treasurer
Richard DeBusk, the increase will
almost double the amount of revenue
next year that RHA generated this year.
This year's RHA budget, said Stu
dent Body Treasurer Allen Robertson,
showed RHA's expected revenues to be
$1 1,635 from three sources: $6,800 from
a fund for on-campus residents; $4,085
from the Campus Governing Council;
and $750 from fund-raising efforts. The
residents' fund collects 50 cents per
semester from each resident. Next year,
it- will receive $1.25 per semester per
student.
If that were the case this year, the
8,171 on-campus residents would be
giving nearly $20,500 to the fund.
" ' Stafford was unavailable for com
ment yesterday. Shannon Friend, an
RHA executive assistant, explained the
reasoning behind the board's approval
of the measure.
"Considering the 2-1 margin (of the
election results), we don't know if any
more people would have made a
difference," she said. "The big issue was
the low voter turnout, whether it was
an accurate representation (of resi
dents). (The board) felt it was."
The feeling of supporters of the
recommendation was that there would
have been few additional voters if the
publicity had been greater. Margaret
Stewart, STOW residence college
governor, said she went on her college
council's recommendation, which was
to support the voters.
"I said 'If we vote tomorrow, and it
passes and the vote is sent to Dr. Kuncl,
how would you feel about that?' " she
said. "They all said that granted, the
publicity was late, but that those who
wanted to vote got out and voted."
However, Phil Bridges, Ehringhaus
governor, said he had always disagreed
with the idea of the referendum and that
perhaps the lack of publicity was
intentional.
"RHA didn't want to publicize it, 1
don't think, because they felt like it
would be easier to get it approved,"
Bridges said.
Bridges also said he was against the
measure because he thought the organ
ization did not need $20,000 in income
for operations.
"I don't think RHA needs $20,000"
to play around with, because I don't
think they're responsible enough with
the money they have," he said. "And
when I say they, I'm including myself."
Bridges voted to send the measure
on to Kuncl, though, because he said
the voice of the students could not be

"Several years ago, we made a
commitment to the education of our
athletes," Swofford said. "So far, it's
been a program without a home."
The physical training and rehabilita
tion portion of the building will include
a modern weight room with free weights
and nautilus systems. "The weight room
(in Woolen Gymnasium) is not com
parable to most programs we compete
with," Swofford said. "The training
center is the best thing we can do to
prevent injuries, and to get players back
into the competitive arena after an
injury."
Swofford said the athletic depart
ment has future plans to construct a
new press box, a guest box and a
chancellor's box at Kenan Stadium after
the completion of the development
center. The new press box would spread
