SBP debates
to air live
By GRANT PARSONS
Staff Writer
History will be made at UNC tonight,
and students who tune into Student
Television will have a rare opportunity
to witness it.
STV's first-ever live presentation, a
televised forum for the Student Body
President candidates will air on Village
Cable channel 1 1 at 8 p.m. and will be
simulcast on WXYC.
It's going to be incredible, amazing,"
STV's Production Director Walt Boyle
said of the show which has been months
in the making. "More than one hundred
hours have gone into production, and
STV is striving to make the forum the
most professional thing done so far.
"WeVe been learning from other
forums, and we hope to correct some
of the problems we've seen in them,"
Boyle said.
The best part of the forum is that
it will be live, Boyle said, and if a
candidate makes a mistake or gets
camera fright, the students will be able
to see it all.
"As soon as the candidates walk in,
they're going to be panic-stricken," he
said.
"It could give repercussions like the
Nixon-Kennedy debates," Boyle said,
"where Nixon seemed to be doing fine
until he got in front of the camera, and
he gave a bad performance."
The forum will also allow students
to phone in questions to the candidate
of his choice "from the comfort of his
own room," Boyle said. The calls will
be screened to allow only serious
questions.
The students opportunity to speak
will come after questions from three
panelists chosen to give equal repres
entation to the entire campus. Jennifer

Dirty politics?
Negative advertising sparks strong reactions
By JEFF HID AY
Editor
Negative campaigning has infiltrated
campus elections.
The latest effort, a pamphlet titled
"Do Not Vote Doug Berger For SBP,"
has student leaders and student body
president candidates wondering
whether to condemn such tactics or
write them off to politics and the First
Amendment's protection of free speech.
Most prefer to condemn.
"This is the first time I'm aware of
since 1976 that UNC students have
adopted these base, scurrilous, negative
tactics which have become prevalent
among right-wing candidates in this
country," said third-year law student
Tom Terrell, who is president of the
Graduate and Professional Student
Federation.
The pamphlet is the product of UNC
senior Richard DeBusk, who says he
is "simply waging a negative campaign
like any other political campaign in the
country."

president candidates haven't agreed on
everything during their campaigns but
they do agree that something needs to
be done to unite the campus for
activities.
A consolidation of the governing and
programming boards is the solution
suggested by candidate Mike Deimler.
"As long as lieutenant governors are
on the programming board it will be
inefficient," he said. Deimler said

bringing to 1 1 the number of announced
candidates and says his sole objective
is to keep Doug Berger from winning
the SBP race.
"Of course, I would like to win," says
DeBusk, "but if I don't, I dont care
which of the other candidates wins, as
long as it isn't Doug."
"This pamphlet makes attacks on my
personal character," Berger said. "It's
good ol' negative campaigning, not
offering alternatives."
DeBusk is listed on the pamphlet as
president of the Committee to Bring
Campus Government Back to Campus.

students would see more of a balance
in programming.
RHA President Shannon Friend
agreed the RHA needed to be more
attentive to serving the campus as a unit
in its programming.
"The biggest problem is with the
amount and variety (of programming),"
Friend said. In addition to concerts,
Friend said she would like to see
activities such as faculty student mixers
and lecture series established for on
campus studen's.

"I want to make it a big deal," he
said. The trick would be to get seniors
to enter floats in the parade, he said,
something few groups have done in the
past several years. The athletic depart
ment and the development office have
agreed to sponsor floats for competition
in the parade, and all four RHA
candidates have said they would approp

sponsor floats, he said.

and they think it will work now."
DeBusk freely admits that he and the
others support Helms, but he sees it as
a coincidence. "The only qualification
to be on the committee is not wanting
Doug Berger to be student body
president," DeBusk said.
Two thousand pamphlets have been
printed for $88, and DeBusk said
"plenty of students have demonstrated
a willingness to donate more (money)
to print as many as needed."
Besides a picture of Berger, under
which the question "Is there any other
choice?" is answered with a "yes," the
pamphlet includes items that attempt
to show Berger as interested in national
politics and gay rights.
"What they're doing here is a pure
smear campaign," Berger said.
Other candidates, and Student Body
President Paul Parker, agreed that
negative campaigning is undesirable,

Candidate Tim Cobb said the prob
lem with RHA's all-campus planning
has been because the programming
board has been shortshighted and weak.
When events were being planned, he
said, there was a lot of friction from
Morrison dorm.
"Stafford should have sat down and
given the planning board some idea of
where to go especially for more equit
able campuswide programming," Cobb
said. "A lot of headaches could have
been,saved if they had had the foresight
to have (Rockin' Autumn) on South
Campus."
He said he wanted to see equitable
programming across campus, but he
said it probably would not be possible
to increase the number of concerts
Gene Krcelic, the other candidate for
CAA president, said the problem with
homecoming in the past was that it was
not publicized enough. "IVe been here
four years and have never seen a flier
(for the events)," he said.
The publicity is needed to let students
know what's going on with homecom
ing so they can participate, Krcelic said.
Homecoming Queen, a tradition that
was abolished last year after a male in
drag won the title two years ago, is a
touchy issue, Krcelic said.

jrancer vetoes reierenaun
By KELLY SIMMONS
University Editor
Student Body President Paul Parker
has vetoed a bill to hold a referendum
tomorrow on the mandatory meal plan
for on-campus students. A special
Campus Governing Council meeting
which was to be held yesterday failed
to produce enough members to override
Parker's veto.
Parker said he vetoed the bill, passed
Jan. 14 by the CGC, because the issue
should not go before the student body
for a vote.
"It (the meal plan) has been done.
It is set in stone," Parker said.
In his written explanation of the veto,
Parker said the issue was outdated
because students were heard on this
issue ... by survey and by elected
representation. ... To further the issue
will only mean an incredible waste of
time and effort and monies."
"My job as student body president
is to pull together all the facts and
information for the student body,"
Parker said yesterday, "and make the
best decision in the best interest of the
student body and University.
"I believe IVe done that."
The UNC Board of Trustees and
Student Government established the
$100 meal plan two years ago, with
plans for it to take effect in the fall of
1985.
Parker said to let the student body
believe their opinion would change the
BOT's decision would be a gross
misrepresentation.
"It's analogous to voting on whether
we want the Student Activities Center
built or not," he said. "The fact is, we
have it, and we have to work with it."
A petition calling for a special
meeting of the CGC yesterday was
circulated Friday by representative

UNC fine-tunes during weekend wins
By LEE ROBERTS
Assistant Sports Editor
The North Carolina basketball
machine has been sputtering of late, but
it picked up some fine-tuning this
weekend with two easy wins at the
Charlotte Coliseum.
Among those who got their joints
greased up in wins over The Citadel (83
62) and Furman (77-55) were Curtis
Hunter and Joe Wolf, two important

sponsored by RHA each year. "I don't
think we can have three or four good
ones," he said. "It takes a lot of work
and time.
He also said he would like to see
$1,000 set aside for interarea mixers,
such as the one last year between
Morrison and Granville Towers.
Mike Rogers called the problem with
RHA programming a lack of variety
as well as too infrequent.
"I'm not so idealistic that I think I
can have one program a month, that's
ridiculous," he said. "But I think
definitely there could be more." He
suggests doubling the number of con
certs and having two each semester.
Programs should cater to everyone
on campus, he said. For example, all
the music at campuswide concerts
should not be rhythm and blues or
reggae, there should be a variety to suit
everyone's tastes.
queen competition, the Mr. UNC
competition would be elevated to the
prominence of queen. In essence, there
would be a king and queen, he said.
Pavao said the queen should also be
brought back as tradition and the Mr.
UNC contest should be held each year
as a part of homecoming as well.
Both candidates see the queen and
king positions as more than popularity.
Pavao has suggested a spring scholar
ship should be set up for the winners,

Doug Berger, also a candidate for
student body president. Berger received
1 1 names on that petition. However,
since a majority (13) of the CGC
members are required to sign, according
to the student constitution, the petiiton
was invalid. The only other way a
meeting could be held was if the speaker,
Reggie Holley, called the meeting.
Holley did not call for, nor attend,
the meeting. Thirteen of the CGC's 25
members would have to vote against
Parker's veto for the decision to be
overridden.
After failing to assemble a majority
to override Parker, members present
issued a written statement on the issue:
"We. . . strongly oppose the mandatory
meal plan. We sought to give students
a choice to voice their opinion on the
issue in a referendum, however our
student body president has effectively
used his veto power to subvert the will
of this council and the choice of the
student body." Members present who
signed the statement were: Max Lloyd
(Dist. 15); Doug Berger (Dist. I); John
Nicholson (Dist. 17); Jay Goldring
(Dist. 7); John Reed (Dist. 6); Robert
Pharr (Dist. 19); Ryke Longest (Dist.
15); Peter Doyle (Dist. 12); and Wyatt
Closs (Dist. 10).
Berger said he. was not critical of
Parker for doing anything illegal; he had
not. He said he was critical because
Parker knew the council's will on the
issue. "He has subverted that will
through his veto," Berger said. "The
council overwhelmingly wanted to give
students the vote."

on whether there was any other evidence

Fewel's body was found slumped
beneath a tree at the end of Mason Farm
Community garden plots east of the golf
course around noon Wednesday, by a
man who was walking his dogs in the
area. Fewelv lower body was on the
ground and ner head was hanging by
a plastic-coated cord tied around her
neck.
Fewel was a student at Ephesus Road
Elementary School. She was in the
process of being adopted by Tom W.
Fewel and Joy Wood. She moved to
Chapel Hill from an orphanage in Hong
Kong a year ago.
cogs who had gathered rust by injury
induced idle periods.
Hunter saw his first action Friday
night since injuring his left knee against
SMU three weeks ago. He picked up
12 points in 24 minutes over the two
games and experienced no pain from
the knee. "My biggest problem was that
I had butterflies for a while," he said.
Wolf contributed 21 points, including
13 on Friday, in what were probably
his best games since his return from a
sprained ankle two weeks ago.
"It was a tremendous lift," guard
Steve Hale said of the play of Hunter
and Wolf. "They give us increased
depth, and their return gives us so much
versatility."
UNC almost didn't need the two in
the first half Friday against The Citadel.
The Tar Heels shot out on a 17-2 run
in the middle of the first half on route
to a 34-16 lead and a 45-27 halftime
advantage, due mainly to a tenacious
half-court pressure defense.
The Tar Heels rolled to the 83-62 win
despite being outrebounded, 38-36, and
having trouble getting the ball in to the
big men against a much smaller Bul
ldogs team.
But there were good points to the win.
Along with the play of Wolf (13 points)
and Hunter (seven points), senior Buzz
Peterson popped in six of nine shots
and ended with 15 points, even though
he didn't start. Cliff Morris got the start
at small forward, due to his enthusiasm,
coach Dean Smith said.
"I'm in a good mood," Smith said
as he entered the press room after the
game. "It's been a long time since we
won a game."
Smith praised the play of Wolf and
of Kenny Smith, who only made three
of 10 shots but picked up 13 assists.
The Citadel was paced by forward
Regan Truesdale, who scored 24 points,
18 in the second half.
Saturday night, the Tar Heels played
a Furman team that has struggled all
year, but the smaller Paladins played
tough defensively, and UNC didn't take
its first lead until eight minutes were
left in the first half. The score at half
was 28-23, North Carolina, but the Tar
Heels missed their first seven shots of
the game, made three turnovers and
didn't score until four minutes were
gone. That North Carolina was not
blown out in the first half was due to
lip Raymond
Berger said he was also upset because
Parker took the full 10 days to issue
his veto. According to the student
constitution, the student body president
has 10 weekdays following the speaker's
delivery of the bill to him to veto it.
The speaker has three weekdays
following passage of the bill to present
it to the student body president for his
signature or veto. Since the bill passed
CGC Jan. 14, the speaker had until the
1 8th to deliver the bill and Parker had
until Jan. 31 to veto it. Parker vetoed
the referendum Wednesday and told the
council of his action Thursday, Berger
said.
Had the CGC known of the veto
before its scheduled meeting iast
Wednesday night, Berger said, members
could have overridden Parker's decision
then, when a majority was assembled.
Berger said Parker waited until after
that meeting to give members too little
time to schedule a meeting.
Since Parker's veto fell within the
allotted time, it is legal and will stand.
In a written statement yesterday,
Parker said: "I am not running for an
office and I refuse to allow a very serious
issue to be convoluted and warned for
the political gains of others if it is
not in the best interest of the students.
"If members of the council are
disagreeing with me because I have the
authority which has been bestowed
upon me and which I. am sworn to
uphold, then I accept the guilt, for that
is the nature and the intent of respon
sible self-governance."
Porterfield said that Fisher, who is
currently being held without bond, is
scheduled to appear in Orange County
Superior Court in Hillsborough today
at 9:30 a.m. to discuss a possible bond.
Stone said there would be a hearing
in Orange County on Fisher's kidnap
ping and rape charges, and a hearing
in Durham County for the murder
charge. "The body was found approx
imately 10 o 20 feet from the Durham
County line, so they're involved too,"
he said.
Police are still searching for two
Thermos bottles that Fewel's parents
said she carried to school Wednesday.
One was a yellow "Cabbage Patch"
Thermos, and another was green.
Police are requesting that anyone
with information about the Thermos
bottles or about anything else in the case
should call the CHPD hotline number,
968-2828.
Furman's miserable play offensively,
hitting only 11 of 32 from the floor.
In the second half. North Carolina
began to trap and to harass Furman's
shaky guard corps, and the Tar Heels
scored 49 points to only 32 for the
Paladins.
"Our consistency was better on
offense in the second half," center Brad
Daugherty said. "We were shooting
poorly, but in the second half we
concentrated a lot more and they started
falling."
North Carolina shot 63 percent from
the field in that second half, and made
21 of 24 free throws, while Furman
didn't even go to the line in the seond
half.
The abundance of foul calls against
Furman infuriated Paladin coach Jene
Davis so much that when Warren
Martin crashed into 6-3 Ned Caswell
under the basket and Caswell was called
for the foul, Davis asked some of the
writers on press row if they wanted to
ref and let the refs write the stories. UNC
finished 27-for-34 from the line on the
game, while Furman was one-for-five.
The two wins put North Carolina at
16-5 on the season heading into games
with Virginia and LSU this week.
"If good to have everyone back,"
said Daugherty, who scored 33 points
on the weekend. "We want to keep
everyone healthy. We got a lot of game
experience, with so many injuries."'
Hale said the three straight losses in
ACC play had prompted the team to
re-evalute its season. "We had to go
back to the drawing board and say,
weVe got to play 100 percent.' " Hale
said. "These wins really help our
attitude. It gives us faith in ourselves
that we can beat someone."
Coach Smith seemed happy to get
out of the weekend with two 20-point
wins.
"There were some encouraging signs
tonight," Smith said. "Of course, we
know Furman doesn't have the person
nel that Virginia, LSU and the rest of
our upcoming opponents have. There
are no easy ones left."
When asked what UNC would have
to do to beat Virginia and LSU this
week, Joe Wolf put it straight: "We've
got to concentrate and be hungry."
The look in Wolfs eyes made it clear
this North Carolina basketball machine
hasn't run out of gas yet.
