Political issues involving minority
organizations on white college cam
puses tend to be explosive, and the case
of Black Student Movement constitu
tional funding is no exception.
BSM constitutional funding became
an issue for campus debate on Nov. 28,
when the Campus Governing Council
decided 13 to 8 to place a BSM
constitutional funding referendum on
the Feb. 5 student elections ballot.
Since then, the debate over consti
tutional funding has raged between
columnists in The Daily Tar Heel as
well as among student body presidential
candidates.
The debate took on new dimensions
when the BSM, SBP candidates and
Paul Parker were shocked to learn
posters had been placed on campus
depicting SBP candidate Patricia
Wallace as a racist and by implication
attacked the BSM.
The poster features Alabama Gov.
George Wallace, a quote by Wallace
stating that he supports segregation and
a statement that Patricia Wallace does
not support BSM constitutional
funding.
Although the poster, which appeared
in Davis Library, the Carolina Union
and Phillips Hall, was in no way
connected with the BSM or Wallace,
Clemson shot cleans up
trash and Heels, 52-50
By FRANK KENNEDY
Sports Editor
CLEMSON, S.C. The rural
roadsides around this small South
Carolina town are noticeably cluttered
with assorted debris. For nearly 40
minutes last night, Clemson Tiger Chris
Michael added to that clutter with a
wide array of dead-goose shots from the
perimeter and beyond in Littlejohn
Coliseum.
Michael hit only four of his 12
attempts against North Carolina's Tar
Heels, but it was success number four
a gentle arching 20-footer with two
seconds remaining that cleaned up
the trash he had left behind and shocked
the Tar Heels, 52-50.
"It was great, great," Michael said.
"I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere
else."
Michael's game-winner sent the
coliseum into a frenzy, as Clemson
snapped a four-year losing skein to the
Tar Heels, who have now lost three
consecutive ACC games.
"They're going in Rutherfordton,"
said Michael, referring to his N.C.
hometown.
With the score knotted at 50, and 54
seconds to play, UNC spread out its
offense, allowing the 45-second clock
to tick down. The Tigers dropped back
into a zone and waited with patient feet.
Forward Buzz Peterson connected
with Joe Wolf along the baseline with
15 seconds to play, and Wolf wheeled
about for a 10-footer that bounded
away.
Guard Steve Hale battled for and lost
the rebound to Tiger center Glen
McCants, who tossed an outlet pass to
Grayson Marshall, who then fed
Michael for the decisive shot.
After a pair of time-outs, UNC came
up shy on a desperation play as Hale's
shot from the top of the key rimmed
out at the buzzer.
Eddie Murphy to appear
in Carmichael March 27
By LORRY WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
Most people who want to see Eddie
Murphy in action have to go to the local
theater and see his latest release "Beverly
Hills Cop." But on March 27 he will
be here in Carmichael Auditorium.
For Murphy's only North Carolina
appearance all seating is reserved and
tickets cost $15. Tickets should be
available by early next week, according
to Carolina Union President Terry
Bowman.
The Carmichael performance is a part
of Murphy's 23-city concert tour that
begins next month.
In an effort to cut down the possi
bility of scalping, there will be a limit
of 10 tickets per person. With 7,000
tickets available, Bowman said there
should be plenty of seats for students.
Beach Club Promotions, Inc. and the
Carolina Union are sponsoring the
concert. The Union's relationship with
Beach Club is one of the reasons the
concert was scheduled for UNC, Bow
man said.
Because of Murphy's popularity
tickets are expected to sell early and
fast. "Eddie Murphy cuts across all
barriers social and racial," Bowman
said.
"We're excited Carolina's getting the
hottest thing in the country," he said.
"With concerts in the past, people
usually organize themselves," said
Linda Wright, assistant director of the
Union. If students do camp out for the
tickets, Wright said, there will be a

it could be detrimental to both the
BSM's campaign for constitutional
funding and Wallace's campaign.
At the center of the controversy is
the constitutional funding of the BSM,
however. SBP candidates Wallace,
Brad Ives, David Dickson, Joe Stewart
and Dirk Marshall oppose the consti
tutional funding while candidates Doug
Berger, Max Lloyd, Fetzer Mills and
Reggie Holley support it.
The referendum would:
guarantee the BSM 2.5 percent of
student activities fees annually and take
the BSM out of the CGC hearing
process for funding.
establish a board of directors for
the BSM which would oversee the
operation of the organization.
The BSM, which received approxi
mately $10,000 last year, divides its
money between four subgroups: the
Opeyo Dancers, the BSM Gospel
Choir, the Ebony Readers and Black
Ink newspaper.
Only the DTH, the Carolina Union
and the Graduate and Professional
Student Federation are constitutionally
funded.
According to BSM president Sherrod
Banks, the BSM deserves constitutional
funding. "Historically, groups with
constitutional funding provide a unique
and vital service to the University
community," he said. "I argue that the
This was a game characterized by an
uneven combination of tight pressure
defense and poor shooting from both
squads. The Tar Heels, who shot only
41 percent from the field (their lowest
output of the season), scored only one
point a Brad Daugherty free throw
in the final six minutes.
Clemson, meanwhile, connected on
only 39 percent of its shots but kept
possessions alive with timely offensive
rebounds. Defensively, the Tigers chose
to keep UNC's big men in check.
"They decided to give us the outside
shot, which is what Indiana did last year
(in an NCAA tournament loss)," UNC
coach Dean Smith said. "Some nights
they just don't go in."
"Defense was the key," Clemson
coach Bill Ellis said. "We really sucked
it up when we had to. We didn't shoot
well, but you have to keep playing. You
cannot quit. The Lord blessed us."
UNC fell to 14-5 overall and 4-3 in
the ACC, while Clemson moved to 11
7 and 3-5.
The Tar Heels were constantly
frustrated by Tiger runs just as UNC
was beginning to control the tempo. The
Tar Heels used fast break baskets geared
primarily by the speed of guards Hale
and Kenny Smith in an early 18-4 run
to open a 19-12 lead. But the Tigers
fought back as UNC big men Warren
Martin and Dave Popson got into foul
trouble late in the first half, which ended
at 26-26.
"This is an extremely disappointing
loss for us because we had a lead and
plenty of chances," coach Smith said.
"At 49-46 (with five minutes left) we
had several opportunities but we
couldn't take advantage of them."
The battle inside, especially between
centers Daugherty and McCants, was
very physical.

numbered list for people to sign.
Wright suggested that several people
take shifts to wait for tickets. The person
whose name is on the list would have
to come back and pick up the tickets,
she said.
Even though all seats are reserved,
tickets will be sold from the front to
the back of the auditorium. There will
be a few reserved seats on the floor in
front of the stage, Wright said.
Visa, MasterCard or cash may be
used to purchase tickets. No checks will
be accepted.
"We want people to know he's
coming and we want them to have a
good time," Bowman said.
Murphy's popularity began with his
four seasons on NBC's "Saturday Night
Live." His imitations of "Mister Rog
ers," Stevie Wonder and the cartoon
character Gumby left audiences wond
ering what he would come up with next.
He came up with a lot: an HBO
special last year, a 1984 Grammy for
the album "Eddie Murphy: Comedian,"
his first film appearance in "48 HRS,"
and the film "Trading Places."
Not everyone is willing to accept
Murphy with open arms. Some find his
language overbearing and his use of
four-letter words unnecesary. Others
can watch one Murphy film and be a
devoted fan when they leave the theater.
As one student on campus said, "His
language is a part of his style . . .

BSM provides unique and vital service
to the University.
"For example, at the time the DTH
was constitutionally funded, it was the
only student newspaper on campus and
the students said a student newspaper
is something we need."
Banks said the BSM provided service
through recruitment programs. Project
Uplift, which is a BSM program, brings
black students to the University, he said.
"A lot of black students who come to
the University decide based on those
weekends they come to Project Uplift,"
he said.
"If that's not vital, I don't know what
is," he said.
Doug Berger, SBP candidate, said
constitutional funding might reverse the
decline in black students enrolling in
the University. "One reason blacks don't
come to the University is because black
students choose black universities where
social networks exist.
"UNC can provide security for those
networks here that make it palatable
to survive at a white university by
constitutionally funding the Black
Student Movement."

he says, "simply compares a national

In an interview late last night,

Is Suite C
By JANET OLSON
Staff Writer
Eyebrows rose in Washington, D.C.,
when Jimmy Carter, as governor of
Georgia and an outsider to the capital
circle, ran for presidency of the United
States.
Eight years later, the University sits
in the heat of the race for a new student
body president, and candidates are
arguing about whether students need
new blood behind the main desk in Suite
C.
SBP candidate Fetzer Mills has
placed this issue high on his platform,
introducing himself at forums as a
complete outsider to Student
Government.
As an outsider, Mills said he had an
advantage over candidates who had
been involved in Student Government
and who were of "a mindset similar to
that of the University administration."
"Those people get involved with
Student Government as freshmen and
sophomores, and they become a separ
ate set of students much like the athletes
are," Mills said. "Naturally, after they
spend three or four years working
closely with the administration, they're
going to have a point of view similar
to that of the administration."
But SBP candidate David Dickson
disagreed. Dickson has spent two years
as chairman of the Chancellor's and
people, and too

constitutional funding for the BSM was
a fiscal issue. She said the CGC funding
process is inadequate in the first place.
"Before 1946, each organization did
have a set fee," Wallace said, "and that
kept dying organizations alive and
didn't help new organizations to grow."
She added that she understood the
role of the BSM in the University
community and felt that the programs
it supported were important.
SBP Paul Parker said he agreed with
Wallace about the worth of the BSM,
but was also against constitutional
funding. "I am principally against
constitutional funding of any kind
except the DTH it is important to
separate the media and political
groups."
Wallace added that the DTH should
be funded because such a move war
ranted editorial freedom. When asked
whether the Black Ink, a BSM publi
cation, should also be constitutionally
funded for the same reason, Wallace
said she would entertain the idea if
anyone asked.
At the BSM SBP forum Jan. 23, SBP
candidate Ives said he would consider
constitutional funding for the Black
Ink.
Banks said the arguments against
constitutional funding were not valid.
First, he said, under the current
budgeting arrangement, the Carolina

turned up in the Student Union, Davis
Library and Phillips Hall.
Student leaders have condemned the
poster for depicting Patricia Wallace as
ready for
Vice Chancellor's committees in the
executive branch of Student
Government.
"Being the only candidate from Suite
C does not give me any preconceived
ideas," Dickson said. "I do not believe
that someone who's never been involved
in any form of student government
could possibly take over as president.
They'd be going in there blind."
Working in Suite C during the past
two administrations, Dickson said,
allowed him to observe problems in the
structure of Student Government and
to decide what changes he would make.
"I do see the bureaucracy, and that's
what I'd like to change," Dickson said.
SBP candidate Doug Berger agreed
a complete outsider would be at a
disadvantage as president because he
would have to learn the campus bureau
cracy before he could effect change.
But Berger said that although he had
worked as a Campus Governing Coun
cil representative, he was not the
stereotypical resume builder.
"I have experience in that I know how
the government is structured, and I
know which committees are ineffec
tive," Berger said. "Having that infor
mation will make it possible to move
quickly toward making reforms."
Berger added that someone from
outside Student Government could be
an effective leader if he had some

Union's programs change from year to
year like those of the BSM and there
is no difference between the two
organizations being constitutionally
funded. The Black Ink should also be
guaranteed editorial freedom like the
DTH, he said.
He added that no one outside of the
BSM should advocate the separation of
the Black Ink from the BSM. "I see
that as a very paternalistic statement
to be making," he said.
Banks said when the BSM Central
Committee asked the SBP candidates
if they would take constitutional
funding away from the Carolina Union
and DTH given the fiscal argument,
none actually said they would do so.
Wallace, Banks, Berger and Parker
said they were concerned about the
impact upon nonconstitutional funding
of the BSM by the CGC in the face
of growing conservatism on campus.
"Because the BSM is responsible for
speaking out on the political concerns
of the black community, it is subject
to the political winds of the CGC,"
Berger said.
Berger said the poster of Gov.
Wallace was an indication of the
problems possibly to come. He said the
fact that some people accused the BSM
of a smeer campaign against Wallace
after seeing the poster was evidence of
the "subtle racism."

"We believe definitely that it was meant

student organizations about
fundraising.
"I've worked closely with groups on

wanted to bring a fresh perspective to

Banks said, "There were 100 copies
of that poster made. If those copies had
been distributed, most students on
campus would have blamed the BSM.
Then the CGC might not give the BSM
any budgeting at all."
Despite fiscal problems the BSM has
suffered during the last year, neither
Parker nor Wallace said they opposed
funding the BSM because of those fiscal
problems. The BSM turned in six late
requistions last year in addition to not
paying the Black Ink printing bill which
came to $4,000.
Banks said financial problems would
be eliminated by the board of directors
set up under the referendum.
He said the only reason SBP can
didates had come out against constitu
tional funding was because it was
politically expedient. "These people
want to get elected and they are playing
to what they perceive to be the mood
on campus," he said.
Berger has a different view. "I would
just say these people are not sensitive
to the issues."
Wallace expressed some concern with
the way the issue of BSM constitutional
funding was being handled. "Some
people are trying to make it a minority
racial issue," she said."The issue is not
whether we want the Black Student
Movement, it's whether we want to
constitutionally fund the BSM."

concerned that students would incor

responsible.

Marshall said he wanted the people

to the students.
