The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, February 11, 19863 Be dtiom Bosiirdl fefe siaSs tay pssst desidime Dy JENNIFER ESSEN Staff Writer The Elections Board has given candidates leeway in removing campaign advertising. According to the Student Government General Elections Laws, all candidates no longer running for an office should have removed their elections advertising Saturday, 96 hours after the election. Students face a $1 fine for each piece of literature Elections Board members find after the time limit. Because of deliberations on whether David Brady should be removed from the race for student body president, Elections Board Chairman Bruce Lillie said he had not had the time to enforce the removal of posters. Lillie said he planned to look for posters Monday night and would remove any which should have been taken down. uWe will find posters left by all the candidates," he said, but added that it was impossible to find posters hanging in obscure areas. Those candidates still in the running for an office are allowed to keep their posters up, Lillie said. He said he gave an extension to Daily Tar Heel co-editor candidates Jim Greenhill and Cathy Cowan, but he would not give a reason. Lillie acknowledged that some candidates had posted advertising on trees on the University grounds, a practice forbidden in the elections laws. The Elections Board fines candidates $5 for each poster found on trees or shrubs. Lillie said he didnt know of any specific names of candidates who had broken the rule. Elections Board Treasurer Chris Shearer said that last year the board spent many hours, removing posters after the 96-hour time limit. "Normally, Bruce and I ivii' rf tf hf said. Last year, the board found a lot of posters, he said, because the fines had not been strictly enforced in previous years. There were less problems concerning posters hung in unassigned areas this year after some of SBP candidate Wade Lewis' posters were removed early in the race, bringing the poster policy to the candidates attention, Shearer said. , Associate Director of University Housing Allan Calarco said students in dormitories filed complaints about fliers inserted underneath their doorways. "That's always been a problem," Calarco said. Calarco said he saw elections advertising on trees but didn't remember any names. "When you see so many, they really all look the same," he said. Calarco said he thought fliers would be included in the list of campaign violations next year. EBiosDoness school's stock teams placeiomiirftlhi amidl 13th Oy ROB SHERMAN Staff Writer A team of students from the UNC School of Business Administration placed fourth in the National Collegiate Stock Trading Championship last semester. UNC also had a team place 13th. The students worked on stock port folios as part of a business administra tion course in investments and financial markets. Jennifer Conrad, an instructor in the business school, taught the class. Conrad said she entered the students in the contest so they could experience the "real world" when trying to make investment decisions. The fourth-placed team reported an increase in portfolio value of 48.58 percent while the 13th-placed team's portfolio value increased by 22.16 percent. Conrad said she had three teams enter the contest. The team that finished fourth tried to choose stocks that might be taken over. The 13th placed team assumed the stock market would go down. One of the teams that did not place chose its portfolio on the assumption that the stock market would go up. Conrad said she taught students that if they were to make money when trading stocks, they must either have inside information or be lucky. She said the results of the competition proved this to be correct. Ron Harris, a senior business major from Statesville, was on the fourths placed team. He said he agreed with Conrad. "I learned that luck has a lot to do with making money." He said his team bought stocks in Union airlines because they were supposed to rise before the rest of the market did. They bought stock in Empire Airlines of New York. Piedmont Airlines bought Empire during the contest and the value of that stock nearly doubled in two days. Others on the fourth-placed team were Stephen Malik of Kingston, Laurie Mace of Henderson, Kevin MacKinnon of Winston-Salem, Gre gory Ellington of Burlington and William Whitley of Wilson. All are senior business administration majors. from page 1 gramming," she said. "Students deserve to get their money's worth. I intend to keep student interest in the forefront." Mitchell's colleagues said they were enthusiastic about her abilities and leadership potential. Human Relations Committee chairman Andrew Balgar nie said, "Jeannie has been a first-class social committee chairperson, and I have every confidence that she will be a first-class Union president. "Her greatest strength is that she can actually execute her plans," Balgarnie Buses said. "She also has the ability to delegate responsibility, and she's a very creative individual." Mitchell's ability to negotiate with "outside" people about Union program ming also will be helpful, he said. Selection of committee chairpersons will be Mitchell's first duty as Union president. Applications will be available at the Union information desk by the end of this week or the beginning of next week, she said. from page 1 Leder said that she thought the J bus was too crowded in the mornings. "IVe never had any trouble at night though," she said. Tobias suggested that students try an earlier or later bus when possible. He said that weather also had some effect on the buses' crowded conditions. Although Tobias said cases of being left behind were rare, such incidents should be reported to the transportation department. "We recognize that it (crowded buses) is an inconvenience, but there's no way to deal with it if it's not occurring in a regular pattern," Tobias said. He added that bus service was chiefly dictated by the bus system's resources. "Generally, our routes and schedules seem to be working well this year," he said. "Overall, we haven't been leaving that many people behind." F i I mm AfRSGAN g CANCER ?

"I'd like to encourage people to apply regardless of whether they've had Union experience or not." Boyle agreed. "Bringing in new ideas from outside is very important," he said. "Jeannie is an extremely easy person to work with, and her leadership ability is rooted in her ability to bring out the best in people," he said. Balgarnie said being a chairperson involved coordinating plans and allow ing everyone on the committee to participate. "Ideally everyone should be putting on programs, not just the chairperson," he said. "Chairpersons haye responsibility for building group dynamics, encouraging and motivating people, and organizing them," he said. Boyle said the coming year would be a crucial one for the Union, partly because of the search to replace Carol ina Union Director Howard Henry, who is retiring at the end of next year. "I couldn't feel any more comfortable knowing that Jeannie is taking over," Boyle said. "The Union will be able to move forward and upward next year." fWI 1 fouf 1 corners -.-TOUR CORN 175 E.

Name Address City College Phone .State- Zip- (vr. oigrni ) in chairacGeirs amid pllofi By GARRET VEYR Staff Writer Has anyone actually seen the movies Richard Gere has been in since An Officer and a Gentlemaril King Davidl The remake of God dard's classic Breathless! The cine matic version of Graham Greene's Honorary Consul Is there a reason to see a Richard Gere movie if one doesn't belong to the "he's the most gorgeous thing in the world" school of thought? Based on his new movie, Power, even if one does belong to that school of thought, the answer is "no." Sidney Lumet's film about a political media expert (Gere) who has the talent politicians need to get elected is a complete flop. Walking out of a movie like Flashdance and remembering only the music is OK. Walking out of a movie that aspires to be a serious commentary on America's political scene and remembering only Cy Coleman's redundant score signals real problems. As already hinted, Gere is the number one problem. Sporting a mustache and linen three-piece suits, he is wooden, dull and far too untalented to carry a movie, espe cially one with a screenplay this cinosns horrific. Julie Christie is thrown out of nowhere as Gere's journalist ex-wife. She's sweet-looking, and she tries; but only Lauren Bacall could' save this role.. Gene Hackman plays a washed-up media wizard who sup posedly started Gere off in the business and then was betrayed by him. Actually, if any of the characters in the movie hold any interest at all, they are Gere's political clients: a freshly divorced governor fighting to maintain her family image, an inept rich boy running for the Senate and a South American dictator. Of course, the movie is too busy zipping back and forth between these various clients to flesh out any relationships. The main plot supposedly hinges on a corrupt oil-controlled Senate hopeful whose associates have pushed the "one man who made a difference on the Hill" out of the race by lending money to his wife. You figure it out. To put it bluntly, this movie beats Dynasty for total inaneness, and the viewer has to pay to see it. Wright from page 1 Wright reportedly led authorities to Stewart's body Aug. 30. It was hidden in a 55-gallon oil drum on a Greensboro construction site. Stewart, a second-year graduate student in the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences, died from multiple stab wounds, according to an autopsy report. quartz sodalite tourmaline E x: E Natural gemstone heart pendants 9 9 9 yummy but noncaloric Valentine treats from $7 mMmmmm, I. nun. n to a QJ agate moonstone unakite r Elr Franko Unisex Hairstvliitf T MEN AND WOMEN introduces Richard formerly of Vidal Sassoon The first 25 customers to get a cut, blow dry & style will receive A FREE PHONE University Mall S63-0S00 968-0266 Expires Feb. 18, 1986 CAMP COUNSELING - for those who love children.
