Fordham III. The surprise choice of an off-campus personality is a reflection of growing sentiment on campus that the gradua tion speaker be of national prominence someone with "star quality," as one senior put it. It will be the first time in at least a dozen years that the graduation speaker is neither an honorary degree recipient nor a member of the University faculty. "We were really dedicated to getting someone from outside the University," Genevieve Coombs, chairman of the Graduation Committee, said yesterday. "We wanted a sort of star quality, an image of intelligence. We wanted to create some enthusiasm." Coombs' committee, made up of about 25 seniors, submitted a list of its 10 top choices for a speaker to Ford ham. Kuralt headed the list, which also Released convicts likely to By JIM SUROWIECKI Staff Writer More than one-fourth of state pri soners released from incarceration return within two years, and nearly one third do so within three years, the Justice Department reported Sunday in a study of recidivism in selected states. Ken Parker, manager of research and planning for the N.C. Dept. of Correc tions, said convicts often get caught in a vicious circle of crime, imprisonment, release and return to crime. "The more convictions a person has, the more likely he is to return to prison," Parker said. The Justice Department study showed that released prisoners with three or more prior convictions were almost twice as likely to return to prison as those former inmates who had no prior convictions.

"Recidivism is a great concern of the Department, but not much good, high quality research has been done in this field, which makes it difficult to evaluate the efficacy of programs designed to reduce recidivism."

'85 commencement Kuralt could not be reached, but a secretary at his office in New York confirmed that he was scheduled to speak at UNC May 10. He will also speak at N.C. Central University's graduation that weekend, she said. "Charles is a good speaker, one of the famous people who is unpreten tious," Fordham said. "He is interested in students, expresses ideas well and has a profound love for the University. "I'm sure students will love him. I think he's a good choice." Still, the selection of Kuralt, 1954 55 editor of The Daily Tar Heel, was a break from the custom of picking a speaker either from that year's lot of honorary degree recipients or from the faculty. "I don't know when that started, but it's been a tradition as long as IVe been here," said Donald Boulton, vice chancellor and dean of student affairs, who has been at the University since 1972. Much of the initiative for getting an outside speaker came from Scott Wierman, senior class president, and the other class officers. They encountered two obstacles, Wierman said. return to crime, prisons "Re-Entry is like an umbrella with six programs under it; programs designed to keep people from. having a criminal record in the hope that they will therefore not get caught in the system," Sissy Crockett, Re-Entry staff member, said .

Rogers said he was concerned about the lack of programming on South Campus. "Rockin' Autumn has been on North Campus and so will Springfest," he said.

Herbert Hoover King memorial Trans Africa director: Apartheid By JIM SUROWIECKI Staff Writer The Reagan Administration's policy toward South Africa is inconsistent with the ideals on which this country is based, lobbyist Randall Robinson said yester day in the seventh annual Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Speech. "We are all reared from the cradle out of this pool of fools," he said. "We are brought up in a foreign policy which is insensitive and uncaring toward the nations of the Third World. The fact is that the America we know and love from within is not the America people perceive from without. It is not the land of the free and the home of the brave." "The Reagan administration has fostered apartheid and brought about strong anti-American sentiment among black South Africans, Robinson said. "There is a definite cause and effect relationship between the worsening of the repression in South Africa and the Reagan administration's policy with regard to apartheid," he said. "It has been unbridled in its embrace of South Africa, and this has simply been to much for many of the young blacks to bear." He also praised the efforts of Martin Luther King Jr. to improve civil rights First, the money. "Obviously, the University hadn't budgeted for an outside speaker," which can cost as much as $10,000, Wierman said. Second, the time. The ceremonies were dragging on too long. "To hear someone drone on 45 minutes or so," Fordharn said, "is almost intolerable." He said that happened sometimes with the honorary degree recipients, while faculty members were better about keeping their speeches short. So Fordham, and Wierman and Co., struck on the idea of a University alumnus someone prominent, but someone sensitive to the needs of a UNC commencement. Kuralt will speak 10-15 minutes, his expenses will be paid and he will receive a small honorarium. " ' Former Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitter son, who served as chancellor 1966-72 and taught Kuralt in the early '50s, said he was pleased with the choice. "I think hell be an interesting speaker. Charles has certain qualities and characteristics that make him a very innovative observer of the American scene." community service to get the charges dismissed. "These programs are all pre-trial," Crockett said. "They allow first offend ers and others charged with crimes to serve their community and have the stigma of a criminal record wiped out." The recidivism rate for those in the First Offenders program, who have been convicted of misdemeanors, is only 3 percent, while the rate for the Felony Diversion program is only 5 percent, well below the state average. But often the state's programs are shunned by convicts because the incen tives for participation are not large enough, Parker said.

If elected, he said he would establish an ombudsman for each residence hall. "I want to get regular, ordinary people who don't have to be elected or involved in RHA to voice their complaints," he said. Rogers said he would meet with the ombudsmen regularly to get a grass roots perspective about residence hall activities. This year Rogers has been governor of Hinton James dormitory and has served on the RHA Governing Board and Contract Committee. for American blacks in the 1960s. "In a very real sense, he was not just a black leader, not just an American leader, but a global leader," he said. Robinson, a graduate of Virginia Union College and Harvard Law School, is executive director of Tran sAfrica, which he called "an eight-year-old black-American lobby for a more sensitive, enlightened and constructive U.S. foreign policy toward Africa and the Caribbean." On Nov. 21, Robinson was arrested for his involvement in demonstrations at the South African embassy in Washington, D.C., demanding social change and the release of imprisoned labor and political leaders. TransAfrica, headed by a 30-member board which includes black religious, political and intellectual leaders, has been active in the ongoing demonstrations that have taken place over the last 10 weeks at the embassy. The demonstrations will continue through March until their demands are met, Robinson said. South Africa has continually repressed blacks by denying them civil and political rights, he said.

UNC's sophomore quarterback could be disabled for a year By MICHAEL PERSINGER Staff Writer The value of the chemicals that make up the human body is under $10, but Mark Maye's right shoulder could have been worth hundreds of thousands of times that much to him. That's what they were predicting for Maye, UNC's sophomore quar terback out of Charlotte Independ ence High School. He was called the best quarterback to come out of the state since Roman Gabriel made his mark in the NFL in the '60s and 70s. But Maye said he never thought about the money. He said he just wanted to "go out and play the game, and whatever happens, happens." Now, Maye won't play the game for at least a year because of a shoulder injury that will require surgery. And, although Maye and his doctors are optimistic, he may never play again. People have always predicted great things for Maye. He was named the state's high school player of the year in 1982 after passing for 2,353 yards and 19 touchdowns, and he ended an intense national recruiting battle by signing with the Tar Heels. After spending 1983 as a redshirt, Maye entered 1984 pre-season prac tice ready to start trying to live up to the enormous expectations that had been placed on him. That's when the pain started. "It seemed like a slight soreness, then it kept mushrooming along and kept hurting as I tried to throw," Maye said. "It started as a soreness and eventually got to a pain down the side of my arm." It hurt Maye to do what he did fostered by U.S. on the basis of race alone, of the right to vote, and has stripped 9 million -blacks of citizenship, denying them the most basic freedoms and rights. This is a national movement to end the most vicious system on earth." American corporate involvement in South Africa compounds the social problems there, he said. "The cars (in South Africa) are Buicks and Fords, the billboards say Xerox and Colgate and Palmolive. These transnational companies are strongly involved in South Africa, for because of the apartheid system they get an excessive return on their invest ment. Four and a half million whites are not alone in repressing 22 million blacks. They have the help of West Germany, Great Britain and the United States," he said. Robinson said America must take steps to actively oppose the South African regime. "Over the years we have sacrificed too many peoples' social justice cause to a single-minded opposition of commu nism," he said. "If we continue to do so in South Africa, we will have a major part of the responsibility on our hands. This is an unholy alliance which must be ended."

Maye played sparingly, completing 10 of 22 passes for 93 yards and an interception, but the pain in his shoulder intensified. Maye was eventually advised to rest not to throw a football until the pain subsided. Week after week, UNC head coach Dick Crum said Maye's situation was "a week-to-week thing." No one knew how many weeks Crum was talking about. Week-to-week doesn't sound so bad anymore. Maye's shoulder problem led to UNC orthopedic surgeon Dr. Timothy Taft's suggestion to seek a higher authority, so Maye was examined last week in Los Angeles by Dr. Frank Jobe, an orthopedic surgeon and an authority on sports related shoulder injuries. Jobe found several problems with Maye's shoulder: The shoulder was slipping out of joint; Instead of slipping out forward which is normal the shoulder slipped out backward, related to a torn labrum in the ball socket joint; Loose fragments of cartilage caused the joint lining to become inflamed; The cartilage on the surface of the bones in the joint had been worn thin. Surprisingly, Jobe's examination also showed that the injury could have been building since Maye's junior year of high school. Both Crum and Maye have spec ulated that a change in Maye's See MAYE page 4 -it Maye
