TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP)
U.S. military helicopters with
American crews ferried Honduran
soldiers to a remote border area
Wednesday where up to 1,500 Sandi
nista troops were reported trying to
fight their way back to Nicaragua.
U.S. officials here said 14 helicopters
from Palmerola Air Base were carrying
infantry and artillery units to the "Las
Vegas salient" about 120 miles east of
the Honduran capital.
The salient is a triangular-shaped area
of Honduras that juts into Nicaragua
along the irregular frontier between the
two countries. It has long been the site
of a major camp of the U.S.-backed
Contras, who fight the Sandinista
government from bases in southern
Honduras.
Honduran military sources, speaking
on condition of anonymity, said 1,500
Sandinistas crossed the frontier last
Saturday in pursuit of rebels and were
trapped inside Honduras by Contras
who cut off their retreat.
Other sources put the number of
Nicaraguan government troops at
nearer 800 and said most probably
would slip through the net because it
was difficult to block all paths through
the jungled mountain terrain.
U.S. officials said about 100 Sandi
nistas and 80 Contras had been killed
in four days of fighting.
Accounts of fighting could not be
verified independently. Honduran
military sources said soldiers were
ordered to keep journalists out of the
area.
Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista govern
ment denies any incursion and says the
reports are designed to win U.S. aid
for the Contras.
The U.S. Senate was expected to vote
by Thursday on President Reagan's
proposal for $100 million in military
and non-lethal aid to the rebels. The
House of Representatives defeated the
proposal by a vote of 222-210 last
Thursday.
Reagan approved $20 million in
emergency aid to Honduras on Tuesday
to help it cope with the reported
incursion.
American officials said the helicop
ters were ferrying about 500 to 600
Honduran soldiers, roughly a battalion,
to the salient in four Huey and 10
Chinook helicopters of U.S. Task Force
Bravo. The task force of about 1,200
men is permanently based at Palmerola,
a Honduran base about 60 miles
southwest of Tegucigalpa.
A U.S. Embassy officer in Teguci
galpa, also speaking on condition of
anonymity, said the American helicop
ters were unarmed.

UNC students under 21 may return in the fall to a "dry
campus, although the state alcohol law will not be effective
until Sept. 1, said several University administrators Tuesday
at an I DRINC forum, a part of Alcohol Awareness Week.
44 We're still in the evolutionary stage of evolving a campus
policy," said Dr. Wayne Kuncl, director of University
Housing. The policy should be decided by the end of this
term so students will know what's going on, he said.
Kuncl was on a panel of five speaking to about 20 people
in the Carolina Union.
Kuncl said the State Housing Commission suggested the
early policy implementation for several reasons. Any sort
of prohibition party on Aug. 31 could not occur with the
early enforcement, he said, which would avoid the confusion
in enforcing rules in the residence halls.
If the campus did allow parties with alcohol during those
first two weeks, it would be difficult to suddenly switch the
rules to prohibit alcohol, Kuncl said.
"I don't know that human behavior changes that quickly
in accordance with the law," he said.
Fred Schroeder Jr., dean of students, said, "Up until about
1983 the University's policy was that the University would
make no policy against state, federal or local law regarding
alcohol consumption."
Yet the campus alcohol policy was lenient, Schroeder said,
permitting alcohol to be bought with student fees. The revised
alcohol policy must respect state law, especially since the
University is a state institution, he said.
Drinking habits would change on-campus, Kuncl said.
Currently, 75 percent of the students living on campus can
legally consume alcohol, he said, but after Sept. 1, 10 percent
or less of those students will be able to drink.
Schroeder said that in deciding the new campus policy,
they were working on an issue "dealing with norms and
the changing state law."
"One's rented room is one's private property," Schroeder
said, and the policy committee must remember that.
"The question is how best for the University to enforce
the state law," Schroeder said. "All of us are feeling very
directly the kinds of pressures (and), dilemmas (in deciding
on a new alcohol policy)."
"One is not very wise if one ignores a change in the law,"
he said.
Kuncl said the resident advisers in the dormitories would
not be enforcement officers, but they would need to learn
how to program without alcohol.
"The RAs will still be dealing with inappropriate behavior,"
Kuncl said. .

Freshman Fenita Morris of Eli
zabeth City seems excited these days.
"IVe heard it's really nice and has
carpeting and air conditioning", she
said.
The "it" is the long-awaited
Katherine Carmichael Dorm, which
should open as scheduled in the fall.
Morris and her roommate, fresh
man Kimberlee Holmes of Durham
are among the students scheduled to
move into the dorm when it opens.
The six-story, 500-person dormi
tory was slated to open last fall, but
construction problems caused
delays, according to the contractor.
Ward Setzer of Security Building
Company, the dorm's main contrac
tor, said last year's bad weather
conditions caused the delay. "There
was a very wet season last year,
which caused us to get off to a bad
start in laying the groundwork," he
said.
Setzer said the company should
be finished with the dorm's construc
tion within the next 30 days. "Right
now we just have odds-and-ends type
things to do, like cleaning up the
construction site," Setzer said. "The
rest, like the air and heating system,
and putting in the carpeting is left
up to the University."
The finishing touches should be
completed by mid-summer, said
Jake Bryant, director of the Univer
sity's engineering and construction
department.
Bryant said the dorm's electric and
plumbing systems had already been
completed and workers were com
pleting the air-conditioning and

ARA officials said they had "good constructive
feedback" from the 30 or so people who voiced their
concerns about the University's food service Wednes
day during an open forum sponsored by ARA in the
Union.
A common concern of students at the forum was
ARA's hours of operation. Terry Crump, regional sales
director, said students were most concerned with
ARA's Friday and weekend hours.
The hours of operation were subject to change based
on demand, Crump said. It was difficult for ARA to
know exactly when to open and close since the Company
had not operated out of the same facilities on-campus
for two consecutive years, he said.
ARA regional Vice President Dick Bissinger said
"We try to be as responsive as possible to the traffic
demands."
Students also expressed a concern about the prices
charged by ARA.
Bissinger said the students who said ARA's prices
were not comparable to those of food services at other
campuses were not fully informed.
For example, Bissinger said, a student had
commented that the prices of the food service at Duke
University seemed to be lower than those at UNC.
But Bissinger said the student didn't realize that Duke
students were required to purchase a meal plan of about
Tanning booths can give a
quickie
$1,000.
Black Student Movement President Sibby Anderson
told the ARA representatives she thought the South
Campus snack bar prices were too high.
But Connie Branch, ARA food service director at
UNC, said the prices in the snack bars were below
those at local convenience stores. He said ARA
regularly checked other stores to make sure their prices
did not exceed their competitors.
Tracy Yellow Robe, an education major from
Hillsborough, said she was concerned about the
attitude of some of ARA's employees.
Bissinger said poor employee attitudes were a
continuing problem, but added that ARA was
sponsoring employee programs to improve the
situation.
Rob Friedman, a Student Congress representative
(Dist. 16), asked the officials why they thought students
did not like ARA.
Crump said, "I don't think students don't like ARA.
Students don't like the meal plan."
The $100 meal plan was sanctioned by the Board
of Trustees and is in effect whether ARA is the food
service on-campus or not, Crump said.
However, Bissinger said the company was concerned
about the referendum and that's why the forum was
iheld.
Bissinger said ARA worked to keep the nutritional
value of their food at an acceptable level He said ARA
tan to the
used real meats and government-approved foods. "You
know what you're buying when you get it here,"
Bissinger said.
He said ARA may begin a Treat Yourself Right"
program on campus to provide customers with entrees
prepared from American Heart Association recipes.
Crump said when ARA customers have specific
complaints about the quality of the food, they should
go directly to the management.
Crump also said students could make suggestions,
or ask questions by filling out "edible suggestions"
forms, which would be answered by ARA's manage
ment and posted in Lenoir.
Bissinger said it was ARA's policy for managers to
spend 90 percent of their time during prime business
hours in the dining areas to aid smooth operations.
He said students interested in touring the food
preparation areas could arrange to do so by contacting
Branch.
Crump said that because of changing tastes, "We're
not going to be able to make everybody that comes
through (the dining service) happy with what we serve."
However, Bissinger said of the 65 campuses ARA
served, UNC had the most flexibility in services offered.
Anderson said, "I think (ARA) is really trying to
make an effort to swing students to their side."
"ARA feels sure they've alleviated some of their
problems," she. said, "but I'm not so sure."

C.r.y Peps, a izr.zr tlzlzzY kzIzt item f'srssntown, W.Va., prepares ter cummer a quick tanning bed tzn
By SUSAN WOOD
Staff Writer
For those who detest sunning on "Connor Beach" next
to the golden goddess who spent spring break in the Bahamas,
local tanning centers offer a quick tan at an affordable price.
And while UNC students continue to desire the earliest
possible tan, local centers are staying open until all hours
and raking in the profits. The initial investment for a tanning
bed is $4700 to $6000. Of course the $4700 model does not
include the built-in stereo or fan.
Jennifer Bell, the owner of Hairlines on Henderson Street,
said that their bed paid for itself in just over four weeks.
The ratio of men and women who use tanning booths
at Aesthetic on Franklin Street is equal, according to owner
Alice Stone. However, more women than men seem to be
attracted to tanning beds said sources at TANS on Franklin
Street.
Sophomore Scott Logan of Winston-Salem explained why
he goes to a tanning booth. "I like being tanned. I feel better
.about myself. I think more people feel attractive when they
are tanned."
Freshman Jennifer Johnson was tanning before Spring
Break as a precaution against the sun. "I am going to the
Bahamas for Spring Break. If I dont come in now I wouldn't
be able to stay in the sun longer than a few minutes."
The choice between using a bed or a booth is based on
the tanner's desire for comfort and the amount of time and
money one is willing to spend.
Sun Industries, Inc., America's leading manufacturer of
ultraviolet radiation (UVA) tanning equipment, reports in
their brochure that the newer tanning beds and booths are
equipped with lamps that use longer UVA wavelengths.
Lamps of the past dispersed shorter wavelengths (UVB
waves). UVA waves are supposed to eliminate the burning
rays of natural sunlight and work only to aaricen sum,
according to the document.
Even though tanning centers arc using the new UVA
systems, the amount of UVB light released is still as high
4.7 percent, said a SUNAL systems spokesman. He added
that tanning beds at Aesthetic are Food and Drug
Administration approved because they release only 1 percent
of the dangerous UVB waves.
Tanning booths are used anywhere from one to ten minutes
depending on the amount of exposure an individual has
already received. Booths are simply 3-by-3 closets with metal
like walls and a UVA light bulb in each corner. Tanners
step in the closet and press a buzzer, signaling the owner
to start the timer. In Chapel Hill, one can expect to pay
around $3 per visit. ,
Tanners bronze in the new and very popular tanning beds
from ten to thirty minutes. Operators regulate the time in
the bed according to one's skin complexion and the amount
of exposure already received.
.The beds look like ultra-modern coffins with light tubes
in both the base and adjustable roof. Many are equipped
with AM FM cassette stereos. In Chapel Hill, one can expect
to pay between $4 - $5 per visit in a tanning bed. Some
centers offer bargain rates such as $ 1 0 for thirty visits.
Freshman Suzy Lindsey of Greenville spent part of her
spring break in a tanning bed in her hometown. "When they
turn on that instant heat, the fans, and the music it is just
as easy to relax and fall asleep in the tanning bed as it
is on the beach," she said. .
Most female tanners do not wear anything in the booths,
while the male clients prefer to wear shorts, according to
Stone. No oils or lotions are needed and it is not necessary
to remove make-up. Plastic goggles, however, are required
to prevent injury to the eyes.
