Memorial Hospital may have a new pediatrics building by 1989 if the next N.C. General Assembly, approves a $17 million funding request. -' NCMH will submit the request in its 1986-87 budget to UNC President CD. Slangier Jr. in the spring as a capital improvement project. The Board of Governors budget committee will then review the request and present it to the BOG for approval. If the request is approved, the board will submit it to the General Assembly. Eric Munson, executive director of NCMH, said the new 115,000-square-foot facility was needed because the present pediatrics facilities on the seventh floor of the hospital were overcrowded and antiquated. The seventh floor is in the oldest part of the hospital, and it has become crowded because of equipment expansion, not because of an increase in patients, Munson said. "When the facility was built in 1952, the technology of the 1980s was not anticipated," he said. The new facility would increase the 80-bed pediatrics Concert By MARK MATTOX Staff Writer Winners of the music department's annual concerto competition will perform with the UNC Symphony tonight in a benefit concert in Hill Hall Auditorium. Proceeds from the concert will go toward scholarships for music majors. N Six student soloists emerged as winners in the competition, held in November. The competition was open to junior and senior music majors and to graduate students in music. Winners regularly perform in the Symphony's first spring concert. The 18-year-old benefit concert is the invention of Professor David Serrins, who will be conducting the orchestra. "It gives some of our best students a chance to perform with a symphony," he said. The full symphony will open the concert with Berlioz's Roman Car nival Overture. Works by Wolfgang Mozart will open and close the concerto portion of the program. The first of these will be Mozart's Concerto No. 3 in E-flat Major for French horn performed by Mary Lynn Michal, a senior from High Point. Michal is currently pursuing a degree in music education and plans to pursue a graduate degree in music performance. She has been principal horn in the Symphony and the Wind Symphony, and is President of Sigma Alpha Iota, the women's music fraternity. The other Mozart solo work will be Motet: "Exsultate jubilate" K. 165 performed by graduate student Martha Fawbush, a soprano from Knoxville, Tenn.

The school, for children who must stay in the hospital for extended periods, would also be housed in the new building. The school is part of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School system. Nurseries and outpatient clinics scattered throughout the hospital would be consolidated in the new building, Munson said. Although NCMH has secured an architectural firm to plan the new facility, Munson would not say where the building would be built if the General Assembly approves the funding. "We've got several sites in mind, but we can't say where yet," he said. "Some of the sites already have buildings on them and if we decided to build there, we would have to tear down the existing buildings and relocate the services in them." Gordon H.

NCMH had been planning the new pediatrics facility for several years, but it had taken a back seat to the Anderson Pavillion, a critical care center that will open March 1. "Getting the $19 million for the Anderson Pavillion has been our top priority up until now," he said. Munson announced the plans for the facility to the UNC Board of Governors during a tour of the Anderson Pavillion on Friday. Munson said if the General Assembly approved funding this year, construction for the new facility would begin in the fall of 1987 and would be completed in 1989. tomgMt I : 1 DTHLarry Childress the UNC Chamber Singers.

Ray Jones and H.F. Watts are running for RHA president. Students also will vote on a refer endum to delete the Association for Women Students, Interfraternity coun cil, Panhelinic council and Craige Graduate Center Council from the Student Constitution. The votes will be counted in the vending area on the main floor of the Student Union after the polls close, Elections Board Treasurer Chris Shearer said Elections Board Chairman Bruce Lillie said about 4,000 students would vote today. Turnout in a runoff is usually about five or 10 percent lower than in the general election, he said.. "There are less candidates, so there are less political organizations trying to get people out to vote," he said. "Less people are inclined to vote because they just voted two weeks ago." . There also are no runoffs for any Student Congress seats, which will contribute to a lower turnout, he added. Because there will be fewer votes cast, Lillie said he expected the ballot counting to be finished by 9:30 p.m. - f , - i . , ' ' - iff' 4fe : .

Marcos' election victory over her. Earlier Monday, Habib met for two hours with Marcos at Malacanag Palace. Marcos issued a statement quoting Habib as saying he had come to "make observations" concerning alleged fraud and violence in the Feb. 7 special election. Miles Davis rescheduled for March 10 Officials from Most Serious Produc tions in Durham have announced an appearance March 30 by renowned jazz artist Miles Davis in Memorial Hall. Davis canceled a concert originally scheduled' for Febraury 16. Cicely Tyson, the acclaimed actress and wife How well a candidate does in a runoff can depend a lot on how much of organization his campaign has, Lillie said. Since fewer people vote, fewer votes are needed to win, and the candidate who can get the most people out to vote stands the best chance of winning, he said. Student Body President Patricia Wallace said, "There's no stress (caused by a runoff) because I guess it's pretty much expected." Candidates expect to be in a runoff because only one presidential race in the last eight years was an outright victory in the general election, she explained. " The main effect runoffs have on campaigns is greater spending for more posters and flyers, she said. Organizing a runoff election is easier than organizing the general election, Lillie said. "It's easier because you have (polltenders) from the last time" he said. "You know who to ask." Less money is spent on a runoff than on a general election, Lillie said, with most of the savings coming from printing costs. "We had a seven-page ballot last time and we have a one-page ballot this time," he said. "That saves a lot." The Elections Board spent about $45 on the general election, but only $8 on the runoff, Lillie said. The difference reflects the lower printing costs for the runoff, he said. DTHDan Charlson Habib was sent on a "fact-finding mission" by President Reagan to report on the aftermath of the election. Aquino contends she won the election but was thwarted by government officials and the Marcos-controlled National ' Assembly, which declared Marcos the victor late Saturday. She was still ahead in an independent vote count. Aquino's spokesman, Rene Saguisag, said the opposition candidate gave See MARCOS page 3 of Davis, also canceled her February 14 lecture. It is not yet known if her appearnance will be rescheduled. Ticket holders unable to attend on the new date can obtain refunds from local ticket outlets.
