Dialing an operator for directory assistance
will jump 30 cents if BelPs plans are approved
By ANDY TRINCIA
Staff Writer
Southern Bell customers, including
UNC students, are in for a price increase
on local and long distance directory
assistance that will go into effect in
about two weeks, a Southern Bell
spokesman said.
"The increase will take place when
the other rates are approved by the
Public Utilities Commission," said Herb
Crenshaw, Southern Bell's manager for
customer service in Raleigh. "That will
probably be in about two weeks."
The increase will raise local directory
assistance from 20 cents to 50 cents after
five free-assistance calls and will raise
long-distance directory assistance from
20 cents to 50 cents allowing no free
calls.
The increase is a matter of putting
the cost on the customers who use the
services, said Ron Stamey, Southern

was formed in 1978 during the Camp

then Prime Minister Menachem Begin
urging him to use the negotiations to
bring about a peace settlement.
"We are fully aware of the security
requirements of the state; however, we
call upon you to further the cause of
the peace," Sidra Ezrahi quoted from
the letter.
In 1982, Peace Now organized a
demonstration which involved one-half

According to Stamey, the proposal,
which has been planned for five years,

other telephone rate adjustments.

Health care under apartheid will
By RUTHIE PIPKIN
Staff Writer
Dr. H.M. Coovadia, associate pro
fessor of pediatrics and child health at
Netal University Medical School in
Durban, South Africa, will speak on
"Health Care Under Apartheid" today
at 12:30 p.m. in the Rosenau Hall
auditorium.
Apartheid policy of racial segrega
tion, and political and economic dis
crimination against non-Europeans in
the Republic of South Africa has
affected Coovadia, a member of an
Indian minority.
Sponsored by the UNC School of

Three men wearing battle fatigues
and carrying Uzi machine guns goose
stepped across the Pit yesterday about
noon and forcefully carried away a
woman making a speech against the
Sandinista government of Nicaragua.
The machine guns were plastic,
however, and the incident was planned
by Students for America to protest the
Campus Governing Council's resolu
tion for contingency plans in the event
of a U.S. invasion of Nicaragua, said
Dave Fazio, chairman of the UNC
chapter of SFA. About 50-60 students
gathered in the Pit to watch the event.
"We wanted to show the students
what happens in Nicaragua if you speak
out against the government," he said.
Fazio, a senior from Indian Trail,
said the CGC was dominated by
"campus liberals" who only gave one
side of the issue.
Ralph Reed, SFA national executive
director, agreed, calling the Human
Rights Week held here last week "a
joke" because human rights violations
by the Sandinistas were not mentioned.
Reed said these included death squads,
the expulsion of priests speaking in
opposition to the government, the
closing of opposition newspapers and
the forced relocation of Meskito Indians
to re-education camps that Reed called
"concentration camps."
Denise Long, who was "abducted"
during her speech in the Pit, said, "The
Sandinistas are not upholding demo
cracy like they said they would in 1979."
Fazio said his main objection to one
CGC resolution was that UNC as a
state-supported institution "had no
right . . . turning against America that
way" and putting the University's name
on it.
He said that while he thought the
CGC should not have addressed the
Nicaraguan controversy at all, he would
have preferred the question to be put
to the student body iYi a referendum.
Long, a freshman from Jacksonville,
said in her speech, "We elected Campus
Governing Council members to govern
our campus, not to spit on our flag and
criticize our nation."
Fazio added, "We need to get (Stu
dents Effectively Establishing a Demo
cratic Society) out of there . . . they
don't represent the majority of
students."
He said that several SFA members
were considering running for CGC
positions this spring.
Reed said the CGC had turned itself
into "a trumped-up body to judge every
foreign policy decision" of the United
States and had "left themselves polit
ically isolated and (had) disenchanted
a lot of students."
PiKA 's Beat Dook parade
raises spirit before game
By WAYNE GRIMSLEY
Staff Writer
Former UNC All-Conference defen
sive back and punter Steve Streater and
members of campus fraternities and
sororities will travel through campus
today in the 51st annual Pi Kappa
Alpha Beat Dook parade starting at 3
p.m.
Streater will be grand marshal of the
event, said Pi Kappa Alpha member
Mark Joye.
The parade begins in front of Car
michael Auditorium and moves up
Raleigh Street. The marchers will then
turn right on Franklin Street and finish
at the PiKA house on Fraternity Court,
Joye said.
"We wish to promote school spirit
with this intense rivalry," he said.
A representative from a sorority will
be picked as the Beat Dook queen and
will lead the parade. The UNC March
Association in Anaheim, Calif.
"Professor Mervin Susser of the
Medical School at Columbia University
informed our dean (Michel Ibrahim) of
Dr. Coovadia's visit to the United
States, and he felt it would be very
valuable and very useful for Dr.
Coovadia to deliver his Anaheim
address here," said Paul Seaton, admi
nistrative assistant for the Office of
International Programs with the Depart
ment of Health Education. "I feel he
(Coovadia) will be saying apartheid is
not healthy. As a minority person, a
member of the Indian racial group, he
is a victim of apartheid himself.
"I have a feeling the talk could be
a very brave speech," Seaton said. "He
could be putting himself at risk when
he goes back."
Recently Coovadia helped found the

He predicted "a backlash unlike
anything you've seen on this campus"
against CGC members who try for
reelection.
Students want solutions to parking
problems, activities fees and Student
Activities Center seating, he said.
"I think they would've been better
advised to leave it completely alone,"
Reed said.
Neither Fazio, Reed nor Long said
they foresaw an invasion of Nicaragua
by the United States.
Long said, "The Sandinistas use that
as propaganda aginst the United States"
to get support for their government. She
said the Sandinistas had been warning
of a U.S. invasion since 1982.
Fazio said, "There's no sense in us
going in there if their own people are
fighting them."
"I do think if the Sandinistas start
increasing terrorism in other countries,
the United States should do something,"
but not necessarily invade Nicaragua
itself, he said.
Long added that the only justification
for direct military conflict would be an
open threat by Nicaragua to its neigh
bors or U.S. interests such as the
Panama Canal. .
Fazio and Long both said they
supported the Contras fighting to
overthrow the Sandinista government
but said they also saw a possibility of
resolving the conflict by negotiations.
"The Sandinistas have so much
support from the Soviet bloc ... I don't
know if negotiations could help . . . but
it would be better than war," Long said,
adding that the Soviet Union had given
Central America about $5 billion in
military aid since 1979.
.. Fazio said the Contras wanted "the
same things the Sandinistas originally
wanted," including free speech, freedom
of the press and freedom of religion.
But right now the Sandinistas won't
cooperate with the people," he said.
"The United State should continue
supporting (the Contras) even if some
of the things they do are unethical" until
the Sandinistas show a willingness to
negotiate on democratic terms.
SFA contacted television stations
and newspapers about the skit and
staged it a second time in the Student
Union gallery for TV cameras that
arrived late.
ing Tar Heels and cheerleaders will also
march, he said.
Fraternities and sororities will spon
sor floats, and a prize will be awarded
to the best one, Joye said.
The Cruise-O-Matics will play at an
all-campus party at the PiKA house
after the parade, Joye said.
Proceeds from Beat Dook T-shirts
sold by PiKA members will go to the
Campus Y, Joye added.

Moyer Smith said the parade was a big
event from the late 1940s into the early
'60s. "It's not as big now," he said. "If
Duke gets better, it may become strong
again."
Streater, who was injured in an
automobile accident during his senior
year, played on the UNC football team
from 1977 to 1981. He was named an
