Former N.C. Gov. Terry Sanford announced
Tuesday afternoon that he would not seek the
Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate, ending
three weeks of speculation about his possible
candidacy.
Sanford, 68, who retired July 1 as president of
Duke, said he had chosen not to run because he wanted
to accomplish goals that he would be unable to meet
if a senator. He did not elaborate.
Sanford said in a statement that he had decided
he ujust didn't want to pay the price."
Sanford's decision was the second recent surprise
for state Democrats. Former Gov. Jim Hunt was
considered the top Democratic contender for the seat,
held by Sen. John East, R-N.C, but he announced

If the executive branch of Student Government has its
way, there could be fewer people drinking alcohol at Franklin
Street bars beginning Oct. I .
That's the target date for the start of the executive branch's
designated driver program, said Steve Zorn, chairman of
Student Government's Task Force on Alcohol Committee.
A designated driver is one who agrees not to drink so he
can drive others home. The program is designed to prevent
drunk driving.
"Say you have a party of rabble-rousing college students
with visions of pitchers in their heads," Zorn said. "They
know they're going to be driving, so one person becomes
the designated driver."
The designated driver would not drink any alcohol during
the evening. In exchange for staying sober, bars would give
the driver free non-alcoholic drinks that night and a gift
certificate upon leaving, Zorn said.
"This is a way to reward those who forego drinking so
their friends can have a good time," he said. "I think students
are more aware of the emphasis of drinking and driving
and are taking steps to avoid this."
A designated driver program is necessary since many
students live off campus and go to bars, drink and drive
home, Zorn said.
"Since the bus system doesnt operate in the evening, we
a need "to "provide incentiv&dfox. a person". to stay Jober t
and drive home his drunken friends," Zorn said.
Student Government's designated driver program is being
modeled after the one promoted by area radio station
WRDU. Marcia Stevenson, creative services director at
WRDU, said the idea for the program got started last year.
"There's been a lot of controversy about drinking and
driving, and we saw a need to get involved in a positive
way," she said. "We started with public service announce
ments last Christmas about drinking and driving, and we
saw a need for something more active."
The program has had very good response in Raleigh with
many businesses wanting to get involved, Stevenson said.
"When we first implemented the program we had six or
seven businesses involved," she said. "We now have 20."
Zorn said response from businesses in Chapel Hill had
been very good.
"The one thing that impresses me about the Chapel Hill
community is the number of businesses participating," he
said. "I think that's something the community can be proud
of that it's concerned about drunk driving."
So far, about 12 Chapel Hill businesses have said they
want to participate in the program, and four others are
already involved, Zorn said.
Capt. Ralph Pendergraph of the Chapel Hill Police
Department said a designated driver program would help
the community, but added he was concerned that the program
might condone drinking.
"The more resources we have to prevent inebriated people
from driving, the better," Pendergraph said. "I would just
hope that the program won't get consumers to consume more.
Also, the consumers can cause problems for the driver.
"I think the program is good, but each of us as individuals
can be responsible for the actions of only one person
ourselves," he said.
Keith Lohmann, CHPD police planner, said publicity was
one way to prevent drinking and driving.
"When the Safe Roads Act was first passed, we saw a
dramatic drop (in drunk driving) because of the media
exposure," he said. "Since that time it's gone up. The laws
are just as strict now, but I don't think people remember
as much."
Zorn said the executive branch would put up posters
publicizing the designated driver program with a list of
businesses participating in the program.
"I want to use a visual logo with a list of participating
businesses willing to aid the community," he said. "Most
of the businesses were very willing to help in any way they
could."
Last year, Student Body President Patricia Wallace said
she would like to create a drive-a-drinker program. While
the designated driver program and the drive-a-drinker
program accomplish the same thing, the format is different.
"The drive-a-irinker was pretty much going to operate
like RAPE (Rape and Assault Prevention Escort service),"
Wallace said. "You would call, and a volunteer would pick
you up at a bar."
The drive-a-drinker program had problems such as
prohibitively large costs and finding volunteers willing to
donate cars, Wallace said.
"The designated driver would be easier," she said. "The
responsibilities with the drive-a-drinker program are pretty
large, although other schools do that."
earlier this month that he would not run.
Ann Hubbard, press secretary for the state
Democratic Party, said workers at party headquarters
were somewhat surprised by Sanford's announcement,
which they received Tuesday morning.
Although Sanford has not won a statewide election
since 1960, Hubbard said she was unaware of any
speculation that Sanford refused to run because of
a lack of support.
"He had indications that he could win the race,"
she said. "He decided for other reasons. We were
confident he could win."
Paul Vick, a member of the government relations
staff at Duke who worked on past Sanford campaigns,
expressed disappointment in the decision and said the
field was more wide open than ever.
"You could start on Franklin Street," Vick said
of a search for possible candidates. He mentioned
UNC System President William Friday, U.S. Rep.
Charlie Rose, state Democratic Party Chairman Wade
Smith and Charlotte businessman D.G. Martin as
possible candidates.
D.M. "Lauch" Faircloth, former N.C. commerce
secretary, and former Insurance Commissioner John
Ingram also have been mentioned as potential
Democratic nominees.
Sanford's announcement makes the race more
interesting and difficult, to predict, said Thad Beyle,
a UNC professor of political science and long-time
observer of N.C. politics.
"They (the Democrats) are still sorting things out,"
Beyle said. "His coming in forced people to do some
thinking. There may be some interesting things
happening in the next few days."

The Chapel Hill Town Council
voted 5-3 Monday to appoint UNC
graduate student Meg Parker to the
Planning Board, replacing Lightning
Brown, former vice chairman.
Mayor Joe Nassif and council
members Nancy Preston and David
Pasquini voted to ;ippoint Berry
Credle to the botrd. Council
Member Marilyn Boulton did not
attend the meeting.
Parker said she was not sure about
her direction (on the board), but
planned to encourage student
interests.
"I don't have any specific gripes
or goals," she said. "In general, I
want to do a good job. I haven't lived
here long enough to have any gripes.
I'm not here to create any trouble."
Since Brown's resignation in
August, Student Body President
Patricia Wallace has petitioned the
council to appoint a student to the
board. Recently, the Graduate and
Professional Student Senate passed
a resolution to petition the Town
Council for a student appointment.
Brown said he supported Parker's
appointment.
"I'm pleased that her desire to
participate has overcome the oppo
sition that students are not residents
in the community," he said.
Students should become more
involved in the town's government,
according to Brown. But the board
should not reserve a seat for stu
dents, he said. He praised Wallace
for "her efforts to organize student
desire for participation."
Parker said she intended to ask
the board to address the issue of low
income housing.
"IH definitely bring it up if no one
else, does," she said. "It's important
to look at all sides."
Although she was appointed to a
three-year term, Parker will receive
her degree in two years.
"I'm not planning on staying here
after I graduate," she said.
According to Parker, six out the
10 board members terms will expire
in 1988. She said if she resigned a
year early, it would ease the problem
of finding experienced people for the
board.
"If you get six going at one time,
then you're losing a lot of expe
rience," Parker said.
When she addressed the council
members with the problem she said
she received mixed reactions. She
said she has not had a meeting with
Wallace to discuss her plans.
"IVe talked to her on the phone,
but IVe never met her, so it didn't
go beyond that," Parker said.
Parker is a first-year graduate
student and an assistant at the Center
for Urban and Regional Studies.

Scene: Dick Crum, sitting at home
on a quiet night, sipping a diet Coke.
Tiie radio is oh classic rock and roll.
Crum is pondering UNC's recent loss
to LSU, a loss that occurred despite
Kevin Anthonys single-game school
records in passing completions, yardage
and attempts.
As he thinks, the Boss comes on the
jamhox. And the UNC head coach,
preoccupied as he is, tries to pick up
the words. There seems to be a message
in the lyrics!
Until then, teams like UNC, Dickie
we were born to ru-u-u-n.
Whether the above scene actually
occurred is quite questionable, but it
is a fact that Coach Crum has decided
to run the ball more often this week
against VMI.
"We've only run the ball 66 times in
two games, and we've got to start
running about 40-45 times a game,"
Crum said at his weekly press confer
ence Tuesday.
The Tar Heels hope to get better
rushing results by emphasizing that part
of their attack more. In two games,
UNC has averaged 63 yards on the
ground and 276 through the air. The
team has thrown the ball about 57
percent of the time, as Crum has made
good on his promise to unleash ICeyin
Anthotty "and hir tor pSof receiver sT
Anthony has thrown for more than 200
yards five times in a row dating back
to last season.
But UNC is 1-1 and has yet to have
had a rushing back go over the 100
yard mark for the season. Brad Lopp
leads UNC in rushing with 98 yards in
two games. William Humes has gained
92 yards in two games and is averaging
3.2 yards per carry.
"We've got to get our backs' averages
up over four yards per carry," Crum
said."Had we been able to run the ball
better (in the LSU game), those 31
completions would have paid off."
"We're going to try and equal the run
and pass up a little bit," said C.A.
Brooks, the offensive right guard for
the Tar Heels. "When the run works,
the pass works. They complement each
other."
However, Saturday's game may not
be much of an indication of the ability
of UNC to run the ball. Brooks, who
at 255 pounds is usually outweighed by

Teague receiving crown
won in '83 competition

Teague dormitory finally will receive Yure .
Nmomma's crown this year, as
Homecoming-week festivities will include an
all-campus party named for the 1983
Homecoming "queen."
Two years ago, Teague entered Steve
Latham, a junior political science major from
Wilmington, in the Homecoming queen
contest as "Yure Nmomma." He won as the
Scott College candidate.
Latham, wearing a white and purple dress
that exposed his hairy legs, accepted the title
of Homecoming queen during halftime of the
1983 Homecoming game, but he never
received his crown.
"Teague was upset, because he didn't
receive a crown," said H.F. Watts, Scott
College governor. "We have a nice trophy
case, and we were going to put the crown
in it."
The party is tentatively planned for
Wednesday, Oct. 23, to kick off the events
scheduled for Homecoming week.
Wyatt Closs, Campus Governing Council
speaker and representative from Scott
College, and Mark Pavao, Carolina Athletic
Association president, came up with the idea
to give Teague Yure Nmomma's crown,
Watts said.
Closs said Jennie Edmundson, former
CAA president, had mistakenly given the
crown to the wrong person, and she said she
didn't want to give away another. But Pavao
said he thought giving Teague a crown was
a good idea, Closs said.
"When 1 thought about it, 1 also knew that
Teague had always wanted to have an all-
campus party," Closs said. The crowning
would be a good opportunity to have the
party, he said. The crown will be given to
the the president of Teague, he added.
The party will have a two-fold purpose,
Closs said. It will give Teague its crown, and
it will give students an opportunity "to take
a joking stab at Homecoming," he said. In
this way, the party will serve as an outlet
for students, he said.
At a meeting at Teague earlier this month
residents created several committtes to invite
the bands, set up publicity, and handled other
arrangements for the party, Watts said.
"A lot of people said Homecoming was
housing units at the University, we cannot
get into the habit of wanting to close streets,"
Sherman said.
"Raleigh Street is pretty much the only
one I can think of that is acceptable to be
closed," he said. Springfest had developed
as a traditon in that location, he said. Because
of the number of people who gathered at
the location, Raleigh Street was closed for
public safety, he added.
Sherman said he also could justify closing
streets to help keep studepts and parents safe
when they were loading in front of resident
halls while students' were moving into the
dorms.
'I knew Teague had always wanted an all
campus party. The crowning would be a
good time to have it.' Wyatt Closs
run by two people last year," Closs said.
"We're trying to avoid that this year by
delegating a lot of responsibility to different
people."
Teague residents hoped ' to close off
Stadium Drive for the party, but police said
it couldn't be done. Watts said.
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard,"
Watts said, explaining that police closed
Raleigh Street for Springfest and that street
is much busier than Stadium Drive.
"Why cant they close a stupid little drive
that can be by-passed easily?" he asked.
Robert E. Sherman, director of University
Police and Traffic, said the police wanted
to limit the number, of streets they closed,
because closing too. many streets would
interfere with normal traffic flow.
"Because of the number of organizations,
the number of groups and the number of
"The University has a considerable amount
of property on campus that functions can
be held (on) without necessarily closing
streets," Sherman said.
Closs said the party probably would wind
up on Ehringhaus Field.
"A lot ,of Teague residents will not be too
happy about that," he said. But having the
party on Ehringhaus Field would make the
party more accessible to all South Campus
residents, he added.
The proposed date lor the party may pose
another problem lor its planners. 'The. party
is scheduled for a Wednesday, and a Chapel
Hill town ordinance only allows noise
permits for Thursdays. Fridays, and Satur
days, said Ralph Pendergraph. Chapel Hill
police captain. The CAA has already planned
events for the remaining days of Homecom
ing week.
"We're going to try to get an exception
to the ordinance," Closs said.
But Pendergraph said he can't remember
the Town Council ever granting an exception
to the noise ordinance in a case like this.
Closs said he was considering moving the
time of the party up so there wouldn't be
noise past the hours permitted by the
ordinance. He could change the date of the
party, he said, but he would prefer to leave
it on Wednesday.
"It's good to have something like (the
party) to occur for the first event (to put
students in the Homecoming spirit)," Closs
said.
Pavao said if the noise permit was not
approved, the party could be moved to
Thursday, when several CAA-planned
parties would take place. Most of the parties
will be at Fraternity Court.
Watts said alcohol would not be served
at the party, so students would have to bring
their own.
"If we started getting into kegs and stuff,
ve would have to worry about carding and
p "lice and all that good stuff." he said.
The party will be funded mostly by the
program board of the Residence Hall
Association.' In addition, Closs said, Scott
College was donating at least $200. and other
dorms would give $50 to $100. He said he
also hoped the CGC would appropriate some
money for the party.
"We (the CGC) gave money lor Springiest
in the spring, and this is almost like Springfest
... in a smaller proportion." he said.
He said he hoped local merchants would
sponsor the event.
Cobb said he thought the party was a good
idea because it would 'allow students to
participate more in Homecoming.
"In the past. Homecoming has been viewed
as something only the alumni could benefit
from." he said.
