Randall Robinson speaking in Memorial Hall Wednesday night
"The Legacy of Martin Luther King
Jr.", was part of the fifth annual Martin
Luther King Jr. birthday celebration.
He said that those who wish to honor
King on his birthday should not do so
merely by celebrating, but by working
tojcprrect the injustices-in South Africa.
"There is no use in honoring him
unless we make our own lives count . . .
unless we begin to understand our
responsibility to our fellow human
beings," he said.
He criticized American corporations
for supporting the South African
government through their investments
in the country. He cited B.F. Goodrich,
General Motors, Shell Oil, IBM and
Exxon as examples.
"Let us ask our corporations to come
home. Let us ask our Congress to
impose economic sanctions," Robinson
said.
President Reagan was wrong for
being quick to impose sanctions on
Libya while allowing the human rights

The apartheid movement in South
Africa is thriving because the United
States has concentrated on fighting
communism rather than preserving
human rights, a prominent spokesman
of the anti-apartheid movement told an
audience of approximately 700 in
Memorial Hall Wednesday night.
"1 sorrow to think that the only thing
we are opposed to in the world is
communism," said Randall Robinson,
executive director of TransAfrica, the
Washington-based lobbying group for
American foreign policy toward Africa
and the Caribbean.
"Whatever side the Soviet Union is
on, we get on the other side of the issue,"
he said. "We have been on the wrong
side of every Third World country for
the past 40 years because we have
focused on the containment of commu
nism and nothing else."
Robinson organized an ongoing
demonstration outside the South Afri
can embassy a year ago. His speech,

David Brady, a sophomore political
science and history major from Rocky
Mount, has announced his candidacy
for student body president.
Brady said he would try to give
students tangible results from Student
Government. "It's important that
students realize that Student Govern
ment is not a faceless entity," Brady
said. "We're here to help students.
One way to improve University life,
Brady said, is to form a "Beat the Meal
Plan Co-op." Students would sign up
before purchasing the $100 mandatory
meal plan to tell how much they planned
to spend on food service.
"That way, those who only wanted
$100 could go, buy the $100 card, and
turn right around and sell it to those
who wanted to spend more than $100
on food service," Brady said.
Brady said this plan would cut the
money going to ARA by two-thirds to
three-fourths.
Brady also said he would institute a
midterm exam policy that would
prevent students from having to take
more than two midterms during any 24
hour period.
"I'd also like to talk to the Faculty
Council and see if I. could get a
minimum-use textbook policy," Brady
said. "We could ask professors to use
books for at least two years." That way,
he said, students could find more used
textbooks.
Brady said he also would work
toward having a parking deck built to
provide more student parking spaces.
He said he could work with Rams Club
representatives, who have talked about
building a parking deck.
"If we could move on that, I could
help get it through the Board of

l rustees," Brady said.
Brady's other goals include forming
an association of student organizations
that would meet and help each other
on crucial campus issues, and he said
he would initiate a weekly article in The
Daily Tar Heel to tell students what
was going on in Student Government.
In the Campus Governing Council,
Brady has been a district representative,
finance committee chairman and coor
dinator of the 1985 CGC budget
process, where, he said, he oversaw the
disbursement of about $450,000. Brady
said he also has been a spokesman on
campus issues such as the dismissal of
Campus Y Associate Director George
Gamble.

A UNC student and 15 other Orange County
residents were charged Wednesday with 54 drug-related
offenses, including possession and intent to sell
marijuana and cocaine, said Orange County Task
Force members.
UNC junior Daniel Wallace Baird, 20, of 125
Kensington Trace, was charged with three counts of
possession with intent to sell cocaine and three counts
of sale and delivery of cocaine. Baird is from
Walkertown.
The Task Force was part of a 47-county drug
roundup resulting in 331 arrests by Wednesday
afternoon, said Cuyler Windham, deputy director of
the State Bureau of Investigation.
In the state, 618 people are sought for arrest on
about 2,000 felony charges, Windham said, and arrests
will continue for the next three to four days.
The roundup was aimed at small-time, street-level
dealers and not at major drug traffickers, SBI Director
Robert Morgan said.
The Task Force began Nov. 15, Carrboro Police
Chief Sid Herje said in a prepared statement, and was
a cooperative effort from UNC police, the SBI, Orange
County sheriffs department, and the police depart
ments of Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough.
Police officials used state money to buy marijuana,
cocaine, heroin, LSD and hashish. The drug purchases
resulted in 332 cocaine charges and 321 marijuana
charges. The investigation cost about $20,000 locally,
Herje said.
University police contributed manpower to the
project, Herje said, but did not contribute money.
The SBI's $417,000 budget for the fiscal year ending
in June was exhausted by the roundup, Morgan said,
but he would ask the General Assembly in July for
a $6 million drug enforcement budget, to include $3
million for drug buying and $3 million for 60 new
agents.
The increased budget will enable the investigation
to expand into more counties.
The statewide effort included 110 arrests in
Mecklenburg County, 58 arrests in Cumberland
County, 41 arrests in Rowan County and 40 arrests
in Union County.
In addition to Baird, the following Chapel Hill area
residents were arrested Wednesday:
Ashley Wayne Alston, 27, of 727-A Merritt Mill
Road was charged with sale and delivery of cocaine.
Ryan Dean Alston, 20, of 503 South Merritt Mill
Road, was charged with sale and delivery of cocaine.
William Anthony Cotton, 27, of 316 Brooks St.,
was charged with trafficking cocaine, possession with
intent to sell and deliver cocaine, and sale of a
controlled substance.
Gaylon Stewart Edwards, 26, of 314 McDade St.,
was charged with sale and delivery of marijuana, three
counts of sale and delivery of cocaine, and trafficking
cocaine.
Darrell Jerome Foushee, 25, of 112 Woodcrest
Drive, was charged with sale and delivery of cocaine,
two counts of possession with intent to sell and deliver
cocaine, and possession of marijuana.
Fitzhugh Lee Huff Jr., 25, of 133-B Johnson St.,
was charged with possession of LSD with intent to
sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Richard Daniel Milner, 24, of Box 6, Woodland
Acres, off Dodson's Crossroads South, was charged
with trafficking cocaine, two counts of possession with
intent to sell and deliver cocaine, and sale and delivery
of a controlled substance.
Samuel Lynn Pierce, 27, of 728 Pritchard Ave.
Extension, was charged with sale and delivery of
marijuana and simple possession of marijuana.
Teresa Diane Wells, 21, of 110 W. Stimson St.,
was charged with delaying and obstructing a law
enforcement officer by striking him.

Despite opposition from UNC officials, the National
Collegiate Athletic Association approved an amendment to
modify an existing rule on freshman eligibility for
participation in intercollegiate varsity athletics.
The members of NCAA Division I voted 206-94 Monday
in New Orleans to amend an NCAA bylaw known as
Proposition 48. The original proposal, which the NCAA
approved three years ago, set up two academic requirements
for incoming freshmen to meet before participating in
Division I varsity athletics: the student must have a 2.0 grade
point average in a high school core curriculum and must
have a combined Scholastic Aptitude Test score of at least
700. If the athlete does not meet the requirements, the original
proposal stated, then he cannot participate in varsity sports
his freshman year.
The amended bylaw states that an athlete can offset a
lower GPA with a higher SAT score. The athlete must have
a minimum 660 SAT score to participate his freshman year.
Proposed by the NCAA Presidents' Commission and co
sponsored by the NCAA Council, the bylaw calls for a
freshman athlete to have a 1.8 grade-point average in a high
school core curriculum or an SAT score of 680 out of a
maximum 1600 to participate in varsity athletics. Core
curriculum consists of English, science, math and social
science.
The new bylaw goes into effect Aug. 1. From Aug. 1,
1986 to Aug. 1, 1987, an athlete would be able to combine
a 2.2 GPA with a 660 on the SAT, or a 1.8 GPA with
a 740 SAT score. In the second year, the SAT minimum
will be boosted to 680 and the GPA to 1.9. On Aug. 1,
1988, the standards would revert to the original Porposition
48 figures of 2.0 and 700.
Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham called the amendment
"a slight modification.
"I really thought it was relatively mild," Fordham said,
because the amendment still maintained a commitment to
improved academics in athletics.
Art Padilla, UNC associate vice president of academic
affairs, said he was discouraged by the vote.
"You can call it whatever," Padilla said. "But what it does
is lower the eligibility requirement from a C to a D-plus.
That's a weakening of posture."
Fordham said the Faculty Council Committee on Athletics
would decide whether the University would abide by the
amendment or the previous Proposition 48.
The question of which rule to follow arises because last
fall, the UNC Board of Governors approved a report from
its special committee on athletics that reaffirmed its support
of the original proposal.
Samuel Poole, chairman of the BOG Special Committee
on Athletics, said he did not know what position the BOG
would take on the amended Proposition 48.
"There is a strong feeling among board members that a
C average is the minimum that should be stuck with," Poole
said. "We are pleased that the NCAA has maintained an
academic requirement with teeth in it. It's not perfect, but
it's a step in the right direction."
Poole said the effect of the proposal would be beneficial

Wade Lewis, a sophomore speech
communications major from St. Pauls,
has announced his candidacy for
student body president.
Lewis said his main platform was to
reduce student fees by 30 percent.
"I'm proposing to reduce student
health fees by 50 percent," he said. "I
want the University to subsidize $3
million for student health personnel
salaries. I also want to reduce student
activities fees by 50 percent. These two
reductions are equivalent to a 30 percent
student fee reduction. That would save
you $100 per year."
Lewis said the $3.5 million necessary
for these two fee reductions would come
from the University. Before the Univer
sity can pay, however, a state law must
be changed, he said.
elections
"There is a state policy that . . .
prevents state funding of student
auxiliaries, such as Student Health
Service," Lewis said. "It will be unfeas
ible to change this just for this Univer
sity, so I'm proposing to change it for
all 16 state institutions."
Lewis said he would ask the General
Assembly to allocate a total of $16
million to all other state-supported
universitites and $3.5 million to UNC
CH. He said the money for the proposed
allocation would be available.
"The state budget office told me that
. . . (the) allocation is a measly nothing
as far as a state tax increase is con
cerned," Lewis said.
The University also has money to give
to the students, Lewis said.
"This University was allocated $210
million for this year," he said. "Eight
million dollars was unspent by the
University last year. The University was
not struggling to get a penny last year.
Lewis said that although his plan
would be difficult to accomplish, he
believed it was possible.
"The administration must be per
suaded to subsidize (fee reductions)," he
said. "The North Carolina legislature
must be persuaded. The University's
next priority to education is to save
students the most amount of money.
Lewis said he had the determination
to make his plan work.
"Some people see things as they are
and ask why." he said. "I see things as
they could be and ask why not."
