Student Body President Bryan
Hassel called a University decision
to reject one of five appointments
to the Food Service Advisory Com
mittee "dangerously subjective"
Tuesday, citing faults in the commit
tee member selection process.
University officials said the rejec
tion was not unusual since they
expected Hassel to nominate more
than five candidates to fill the five
vacant FSAC positions.
"I have accepted . . . (their deci
sion) so far as I have to put someone
else up for the position, but I don't
agree with it," Hassel said. "I don't
agree with anything about it."
Hassel said he was told that his
FSAC nomination of Marty Leary,
a senior, was not approved because
Leary would not be a constructive
member of the committee. Leary was
an outspoken member of the food
service task force which was formed
last year to protest AR A, the campus
food service at the time.
Hassel said Tuesday that student
body president advisory committee
nominations must be approved by
either Chancellor Christopher C.
Fordham III, Farris Womack, vice
chancellor for business and finance,
or Donald Boulton, vice chancellor
and dean of student affairs.
In a prepared statement, Hassel
said: "Leary was singled out because
of incidental contact, not because of
methodical analysis of his creden
tials. Such subjective, uninformed
decisions are unjustifiable in a
democratic campus.
"The criterion that a nominee
must be 'constructive' sets a prece
dent whose future interpretations
could seriously infringe on student
autonomy. If left up to Dr. Womack,
his staff, or committee chairs, the
term 'non-constructive' would easily
be used to eliminate anyone who
intends to raise controversial issues.
"Such a selection process flies in
the face of open dialogue and
democratic decision-making and
cannot be tolerated."
Price predicts Nov.
wins for Democrats
By SHARON KEBSCHULL

The state's Democrats have sev
eral factors in their favor to win seats
in the U.S. Senate and House of
Representatives this fall, said Demo
cratic 4th District congressional
candidate David Price in a speech
to an audience of about 80 students
in the Union Tuesday night.
Price, a Duke University political
science professor, is running against
the Republican incumbent Bill
Cobey. During his speech, sponsored
by UNC Young Democrats, he
spoke of three reasons for N.C.
Democrats to look for fall victories.
The first reason he gave was unity.
"We pulled together after the
(May) primary ... I'm grateful for
the way we conducted ourselves. We
are united up and down the ticket,"
he said, adding he was especially
proud of U.S. Senate candidate
Terry Sanford's campaign.
The second reason, he said, was
having the "issues on our side." He
mentioned student loan cuts, illiter
acy in America and tax reform as
some issues needing Democrats'
attention. "We need to get on with
the business of doing our job for our
district, our people," he said.
The third reason Price gave for;
hope for a Democratic victory is
organization. In Orange County, he
said, there is a long tradition of
effective organizing.
Price concluded his speech by
talking about the political situation
facing the 4th District. North Carol
ina is being regarded as a national
battleground, as it is very closely
divided in politics. The 1 986 vote will
Hassel said he was preparing a
proposal about the selection process
to present to Fordham in a meeting
Thursday.
The other students Hassel nom
inated, Sandy Butts, John Giragos
and Scott Nelson also members
of the food service task force and
Sean Phelan, a former FSAC
member, were approved by Univer
sity officials.
Leary's nomination was rejected
because of his "negative attitude
toward ARA" last year and his
preoccupation with the treatment of
food service employees, said Charles
C. Antle, associate vice chancellor
for business and finance.
"He just seemed to be very anti
ARA, and he seemed to zero in very
much on employees working for a
large corporation," Antle said Tues
day. "We really wanted to start off
on the right foot with Marriott. We
were concerned that labor
management relations would
become the big campus issue, and
right now that's not a major issue,"
he said.
Leary said he was disappointed by
the decision. "I wouldVe hoped that
they'd be willing to establish a fair
and open dialogue about the way
decisions are made at this Univer
sity," he said.
The committee appointment pro
cess has never been standardized,
Boulton said. "We have done it in
a variety of ways," he said. "The
process can be improved, and we
need to find ways to do that."
Rejecting a nomination is not
uncommon, Boulton said. "IVe had
recommendations that IVe rejected
for one reason or another," he said.
"The process of finding people for
committees should always be that
way."
Womack said that Boulton col
lects nominations and submits
names for him to consider. "The
process we use has been in place
forever," he said. When asked,
Womack declined to comment on

be even more decisive than the 1984
vote, he said.
"If we lock in what happened in
4 (when Republicans swept the
elections), then I'm afraid well be
facing a long dry spell for Demo
crats," he said. He added that it
would be a "grave mistake" to
underestimate the importance of the
race, and that he wanted to get the
state politics "back on track."
In answering questions from the
audience, Price centered on other
issues important in the campaign. On
nuclear energy, he said, "I think our
motto ought to be safety before
speed," referring to Sen. Jim Broy
hill's bill to speed up the licensing
of nuclear plants, which is co

Aid process slowed by red tape
By JO FLEISCHER
Assistant University Editor
About 1,400 UNC students have
received financial aid late this year,
but another 600 can't pay their
tuition because of new federal
guidelines requiring additional
paperwork and processing time.
The backlog has been reduced
from more than 2,000 applications
in August, and most applications
should be processed by the end of
September, University officials said. .
The processing delay is due to
Congressional measures enacted in
April that add an extra step to the
Guaranteed Student Loan applica
tion process, said Eleanor S. Morris,
director of the Student Aid Office.
The new U.S. Department of
Education directives require more
verification than before, Morris said.
"We had to verify 50 percent of 5,000
to 6,000 student applications," she
said. "The number of student data
items that are required have also
increased, producing a tremendous
slow-down. It's a lot more paper than
Lessons from
Latin America
By JENNIFER FROST
Staff Writer
For most people a trip to Washington D.C. or
a foreign country means a vacation. But for Allan
Gochenour, a junior, the trips meant a learning
experience that has contributed to the shaping of his
future.
Gochenour spent six and one-half weeks on an
internship in Washington, D.C, at the Organization
of American States. He was one of five chosen for
the internship from universities across the country.
Then, through the OAS and other organizations, he
received scholarships for five weeks in Costa Rica
and one in Nicaragua.
From his Washington internship, Gochenour
learned how government agencies such as the OAS
. operate. "I was confronted with bureaucracy," he said.
"It's a world of coffee breaks and social lunches. I
met brilliant people, but I wonder how effective they
are overall in achieving their goals."
Gochenour aided an Argentine researcher in
finding effects of the economic crisis in Latin America
on its various countries.
As the first intern, he laid the groundwork. He
studied demographic patterns and how population
influences society's sectors. He also spent time going
to other organizations, talking with economists and
discovering the channels of communication among
the World Bank; International Monetary Fund and
the OAS.
"The internship was good for me in that 1 met
important people in the field of economic planning
and international development," he said. "I learned
exactly what type of work is involved, and how 1
will need many years of preparation first, to be
accepted in the field and second, to excel in it."
Gochenour sees his travels as preparation for his
future plans. An economics and Latin American
studies major, he hopes in the future to work for
an international organization in economic planning
and developmental programs for underdeveloped
countries.

we or the students anticipated having

Dawn Siler, a freshman from
Graham, has still not received any
word on her aid application after
applying in April. "I went by in July,
and they told me it would be four
more weeks," she said. "And I still
haven't gotten it. I haven't paid for
my tuition or my room and it sort
of makes me uneasy," she said.
"1 don't know if they are going
to kick me out or something," she
said. "They still haven't sent me any
information, but I do check with
them every two weeks."
The number of applications need
ing verification by the Student Aid
Office is up 20 percent over last year,
and students must produce tax
statements and other information
before this can be done. "There was
just not enough people to record
them all," Morris said.
Almost all students who applied
before the March 1 deadline have
received notification of their student
aid requests, but those who applied

later could still be waiting to have
their requests approved, Morris said.
Sam Barnard, University cashier,
said students who applied for aid can
defer tuition payments until the aid
is received. If students have not
received their funds before pre
registration in October, they will
need special permission from the
Student Aid Office before spring pre
registration, he said.
Morris said Student Aid was still
busy processing the remainder of the
applications. "We have 10 students
a day coming into our office," she
said. "We are anxious to uncover a
simple way to correct any problems
they have. When we get one (appli
cation) out, two students come in.
"Most of the applications are
complete, and we should catch up
with the backlog in a few weeks
with the exception of those who need
to provide us with additional infor
mation," Morris said.

U.S. asked;
by Shiites
to negotiate
From Associated Press reports
BEIRUT, Lebanon Islamic
Jihad urged the United . States on
Tuesday to negotiate for the release
of three American hostages in
Lebanon as it did with the Soviet
Union for American newsman
Nicholas Daniloff.
The Shiite Moslem group also
released a letter bearing the name
of hostage David Jacobsen, which
made a similar plea and warned that
kidnappers might kill their captives.
White House spokesman Larry
Speakes said in Washington that
administration officials believe
Jacobsen wrote the letter but "there
is good reason to question whether
it was freely written and represents
anything more than the views of Mr.
Jacobson's captors."
The three-page letter was written
in poor and often stilted English,
raising doubts that its original author
was the 55-year-old Jacobsen, who'
was the administrator of the Amer
ican University Hospital when he
was kidnapped last year.
Misspellings in the letter included
the name of Rev. Lawrence Martin
Jenco, a hostage who was freed in
July after being held with Jacobsen
and the others.
Jacobsen is one of six Americans
now missing in Lebanon. Islamic
Jihad says it is holding three Amer
ican hostages and has killed a fourth.
It is uncertain who carried out the
kidnappings last week of two other
Americans.
Islamic Jihad's latest communique
and the handwritten letter were in
a packet left outside a western news
agency in Moslem West Beirut. The
packet also contained a Polaroid
photograph of Jacobsen in pajamas,
almost identical to one of him
released with an Islamic Jihad
statement last week.
"Why was Reagan interested
minute by minute with spy journalist
Daniloff but he is not interested one
minute in our story?" asked the letter,
purported to be handwritten by
Jacobsen. Daniloff's name was
misspelled.
In Huntington Beach, Calif.,
Jacobsen's son Eric said the Jacob
son letter, as read to him over the
telephone, . seemed to reflect his
father's views.
