Repair needed

A Board of Trustees committee
recommended Tuesday that the system
of housemothers be reinstituted to
maintain upkeep of fraternity houses,
one of several suggestions made to
promote funding of renovations, said
Robert J. Page, secretary-treasurer of
Phi Delta Theta House Corp.
The decision to start a system of
housemothers is an individual one,
between the fraternity and each pri
vately owned housing corporation,
Page said.
Page said he had organized a meeting
of fraternity housing corporation
leaders Thursday night to discuss
fraternity house deterioration.
"I think some of the other recom
mendations were more important," he
said. "Better ways to clean up houses
on a regular basis, having inspections
and curtailing campus parties were also
discussed."
BOT member Robert Eubanks Jr.
said housemothers could help remind
brothers to take care of the houses. "The
purpose of a housemother is not
disciplinary, but just to get people to
feel comfortable putting money into the
upkeep (of the houses).
"Some type of guarantee that the
repairs will be maintained is necessary,
and housemothers could be that gua
rantee," he said. "Some other guarantee
is fine, as long as the alumni can be
assured that they're making a real
investment."
"It's not a case of one idea or
another," Interfratemity Council Pres
ident Charles Scfaook said. A lot of
things need to be done. I dont see any
collective decision being made."
The problem of fraternity house
deterioration has been around for a long
time, Schook said. "It's part of a vicious
circle, of deterioration of houses and
Greek alumni's reluctance to put money
back into the houses.
"Without the money it's hard to
improve them," he said.
Phi Gamma Delta president Will
Mayo said most houses had structural
problems and needed renovations, but
housemothers alone wouldn't help
much. "The main problem comes from
houses being old," he said."Some
fraternities have already begun renova
tions. I know we have."
"The solution needs to come from a
variety of things," he said: "A house
mother could help, but if they (fraternity
brothers) are going to tear up the place
theyll do it regardless."
Dan Raynor, Lambda Chi Alpha
president, said his fraternity's housing
foundation was planning to incorporate
some type of housemother program. "I
have mixed reactions about it," he said.
"There could be a need for a person
to be there to make sure the house isn't
constantly trashed," he said. -But on
the other hand, I dont see the need for '
a mother figure. Maybe more of a
housekeeper than a housemother."
Eubanks said he had had a house
mother when he was living in a frater
nity house. "A housemother does not
tell students how to act or what to do,
but just reminds them to take care of
the house," he said.
Page said Thursday afternoon that
the housing corporation representatives
would not reach any formal decision
about housemothers or any other issues,
but would hold an informal discussion
about ways to maintain houses more
efficiently.

. Amid contradictory testimony, the Student Supreme Court
heard arguments last night in the trial to decide whether
student body presidential candidate David Brady exceeded
the $420 spending limit for his campaign.
The court is scheduled to announce its decision today.
The case arose from controversy surrounding "David
Brady for President" T-shirts worn by some of Brady's
supporters and campaign staff. Plaintiffs Rob Friedman and
Reggie Davis said that the shirts were part of Brady's
campaign and that the cost should have been figured into
his expense report. Brady said that the shirts had been ordered
by members of his fraternity, Kappa Sigma, and that he
did not consent to the shirts so they were not part of his
campaign.
Tim Smith and Peter McCullough, counsels for the
plaintiffs, argued that the T-shirts were a service to Brady's
campaign, which counts as a campaign expense under the
election laws. -
Smith said it was not the Election Board's duty to make
(sure every candidate stayed within the spending limits since
the only source of spending information was the reports the
condidates submitted the day after the election.
"We feel it is unreasonable and clearly not within the
language of the statute to expect the Elections Board to
go around policing," he said. "In order for a candidate to
take responsibility for his election, he must take responsibility
for his campaign workers."
Brady was responsible for making sure his workers did
not violate the election laws by distributing T-shirts that
put his campaign over the limit, Smith said.
Chris Brown, Brady's co-counsel, said the plaintiffs had
failed to prove that Brady had had knowledge or consent
of the -shirts. The plaintiffs also failed to show the shirts
were a service, he said.
Brown said Elections Board Chairman Bruce Lillie's
interpretation of the elections laws had been Brady's only
source of information, and given what Lillie said, Brady
had not expected that he would be held responsible for the
cost.
"I think that's expecting too much of a candidate that
he could anticipate how the Supreme Court would rule on
a statute that's this vague," Brown said.
Brown also said Fanney's testimony should be invalidated
since other testimony contradicted it.
Contradiction in the testimony centered on a letter John
Fanney submitted Feb. 7 to Lillie. Fanney said he had
witnessed John McLanahan, a Brady campaign worker,
pulling one of the shirts from a bag and holding it up in
Brady's presence. , ' .
"David was directly in front of me, and he turned and
said, 'I don't see those, that's your department,' " Fanney
said.
A girl then came by, asking Brady if that was one of
the shirts and if she could get one, Fanney said.
"David said, Talk to this guy,' " Fanney said. "At this
point, David walked off, and he turned around and said
he'd checked with Bruce, and he said, 'If I dont know about
these, I'm clean."
Brown said he felt there were major differences between
the letter Fanney submitted to Lillie and an affidavit with
Fanney's name on it that had been submitted by the plaintiffs.
"I'm trying to establish that the witness significantly
fabricated this letter," he said.
Fanney disagreed, saying the affidavit's only difference was
that it was in legal terminology. . '
"I feel that what's put in the affidavit and what I put
in the letter are substantially the same," he said. "There may
be some changes in it, some mumbo jumbo."
Lennis Bennett's testimony differed from Fanney's. Bennett
was with Fanney at the time referred to in the letter.
"David came out and started to talk to John and I, and
John McLanahan came out," she said. ". . . (McLanahan)
had some T-shirts over his shoulder," not in a bag as Fanney
said, Bennett testified. ". . . (Brady then said) something like,
'Don't talk to me, that's not my department.'
"David turned back to us and said he talked to . . . (Lillie)
and if he (Brady) doesn't know about them, it's all right,"
Bennett said. "I never saw a T-shirt held up. . , . I never

Andy Parks, meteorologist for
WTVP 1 ! News, will appear in the Pit
on March 6 as part of a fund-raiser to
fight sickle-cell anemia.
The fund-raiser is sponsored by the
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity.
Parks' appearance will be the culmi
nation of Phi Beta Sigma's fund-raising
effort on behalf of the UNC Compre
hensive Sickle-Cell Program. The
fraternity will sell raffle tickets door to
door beginning Monday, and Parks will
appear to present the prizes, said
Donnie Smith, service project
coordinator.
"We have been involved with this
cause for several years, but this year
we have a bigger goal and a different
approach," Smith said. ". . . Having
Andy come will definitely get the people
out to see what we're doing.
Parks said he was glad to be able ;
rto help people. "I grew-4ip.,hx. an erai
when people dropped dead from polio,
but people like Jonas Salk and a lot
of others showed that something can
be done about these problems," he said.
The UNC Comprehensive Sickle-Cell
Program was started in 1982 to provide
an organized, comprehensive approach
in the treatment of sickle-cell anemia,
said Dr. Eugene Orringer, director of
the program. .
"In the past, patients would come to
the hospital when they were sick,"
Orringer said. "But when they came
back again, they would always be
treated by a different doctor, which
provided the incentive to create a
comprehensive program to meet the
psychosocial needs of the patient
population as well . as to provide
preventative care and education." ;
- trTScgoal of trie UNC Complrehensive
Sikle-Cell program is to activly educate
the community, Orringer said. "We
appreciate the funds . . . (the fraternity
raises), and we try to use them to help
our patients. We're trying to produce
an educational slide program with the
help of Phi Beta Sigma."
In addition to door-to-door sales, Phi
Beta Sigma will sell raffle tickets at a
table in the Student Union until the
March drawing. All prizes are donated
and include a television and a dinner
for two. Other prizes will be added
before the drawing date. The fraternity
hopes to make people aware of the
sickle-cell anemia problem, Smith said.

The 1985 Yackety Yack will arrive in April, one
month later than expected, because of a printing
delay, Yack editor Philip Berney said Thursday.
Berney said he had thought it would take eight
weeks for the yearbooks to arrive after the copy
had been turned in to the publishing company. But
the publishers were in their peak season with high
school annuals, and the publication date had to
be renegotiated, he said.
"That's a disappointment for us," Berney said.
"Our goal was to get . . . (the Yack) out on time,
but more importantly it was to put out the best
book that we could for the students."
Berney said the Yack had been reorganized this

"Just 10 or 15 years ago, any mention of . . .
any jazz musician in the same breath as Maria
Callas, Leonard Bernstein, Marlon Brando, Elia
Kazan, or Saul Bellow might have been dismissed
as ludicrous," wrote Jack Chambers in Milestones
II The Music and Times of Miles Davis Since
1960. "It is less likely to be so dismissed nowadays
... if so, it is partly Miles Davis' doing. He not
only created the music, he dignified it."
Trumpeter Miles Davis will appear Sunday in
Memorial Hall in a concert sponsored by Most
Serious Productions, WRDU Radio and the UNC
Audience for Jazz. This will be Davis' first North
Carolina concert in decades and will be the first
stop on his American tour.
"Miles is going through a period of changes right
now," said David Murphy, president of Most
Serious Productions. "He just changed manage-.
ment, changed his record label, changed some
musicians, and now he's ready to play."
Davis is no stranger to changes. Born near St.
Louis in 1926, he left for New York in 1945 to
study trumpet at Julliard. His real intention,
however, was to play with the great saxophonist
Charlie Parker. Davis' low-key, introverted sound
was an effective contrast to -the energetic, extro
verted eruptions of the saxophone. Along with
trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and pianist Thelonious
Monk, Davis changed the course of jazz for the
first time.
His unique and immediately identifiable trumpet
sound, more often than not tightly muted and close
to the microphone, found one of its most flattering
contexts in the 1949 nine-piece band heralding "the
birth of the cool." "Cool jazz" influenced a
generation of musicians in the early 1950s; Davis
changed the course of jazz, again.
Davis . was finally starting to achieve some
independent fame, and risked it all in a stylistic
about-face. In 1954, Davis recorded two blues
pieces, "Walkin" and "Blue and Boogie," and the
"hard bop" movement started to take shape. The
word "funky" was invented to describe this music,
a combination of bebop with the earthiness of gospel
and urban blues. Along with drummer Art Blakey
and pianist Horace Silver, Davis changed the course
of jazz for the third time.
. In 1955, Davis put together what was arguably
one of the greatest small jazz combos of all time
- Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass,
Philly Joe Jones on drums and John Coltrane on
tenor sax. The entire outfit operated with a cohesion
that would only be rivalled by one other small band
in jazz ' - the next sextet Miles put together, in
1963. The phenomenal rhythm section included
Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and
Tony Williams on drums. These young, widely
unknown gentlemen incorporated some of the "free
jazz" innovations freeing jazz from a steady
locked rhythm and entangling chord changes
with the cohesiveness and swing of the mid-'50s
band. Davis changed the course of jazz for the
fourth time.
By 1969 Miles was interested in the music of Jimi
Hendrix and the rhythms of rock. Beginning with
the famous album Bitches Brew, Miles added an
