is still being considered, according
to Stephen Birdsall, associate dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences.
He would not say which depart

considered.

in case cuts were necessary.

budgets group funds
By JO FLEISCHER
Assistant University Editor
In an effort to upgrade campus
safety at night, the Student Congress
Wednesday approved over $4,500 to
fund a Student Government
sponsored student safety patrol.
The congress also approved funds
for the UNC Marching Tar Heels,
the Black Student Movement, the
Carolina Course Review and
WXYC, the campus radio station,
during their regular meeting
Wednesday.
University Police will train
members of the student patrol
security program, which would be
similar to patrols at other
universities.
Student patrol monitors will be
paid, and 12 will be on duty every
night school is in session, said Lori
Taylor (Dist. 16), who directs the
student affairs project. University
Police will respond to the patrol's
calls, which will be made by walkie
talkie, she said.
The $4,655 appropriation will pay
for flashlights, reflective vests and
walkie-talkies to coordinate the
patrols, said Jaye Sitton (Dist. 11),
Student Congress speaker.
Also Wednesday, the congress
also appropriated $8,324 from the
general reserve fund for the March
ing Tar Heels for the band to buy
new instruments.
Along with the funding, the

refused to let the tradition die. "Mclver girls got
pretty grabby," said Mark Allard, streak organizer
for the past three years. "They made an aisle for
us and went crazy."
Department chairmen had criti
cized the proposal because cuts in
their department would mean fewer
available teaching assistants and
would limit teaching positions.
Birdsall said a variety of factors
are considered in a department's
request for additional positions.
"Enrollment pressure is a major
element," he said. "If the program
had a small enough faculty so that
the department would be crippled,
the additional requests were
approved."
Departments were given author
izations to go ahead in their search
for additional staff on Friday and
several department chairmen said
they were relieved.
congress passed a resolution sup
porting its action, citing "the finan
cial incapability of the band at
present due to lack of financial
support from the UNC Athletic
Department and the Division of
Student Affairs," ' and "the band
makes people happy," as reasons.
Neil Riemann (Dist. 12) said that
he favored approving the bills after
seeing the band's instuments, some
of which were 35 years old.
Jim Wooten (Dist. 19) said that
he was confident the band would find
a way to pay the money back, but
because band members attend band
classes, it must be done without
competing with other organization's
fund raising activities. Wooten
suggested that the band make a
record or sponsor high school band
competitions to raise the money.
The Black Student Movement
received a $200 request to buy a
camera for the Black Ink after some
debate. Camille Roddy, BSM pres
ident, said the request was needed
to ensure that the Black Ink have
the equipment to support the
publication.
Debate centered on whether the
BSM had enough funds in surplus
to make the expenditure for the
Black Ink. After efforts to both table
and postpone the bill were defeated,
the congress approved it 9-5. Dis-

"The impact is not likely to be as
great as we thought three weeks

of the department of African and
Afro-American Studies. "We are

However, Palmer said that if the

From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON The
announcement that President Rea
gan and Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev will soon meet drew
mostly praise Tuesday from Capitol
Hill, where lawmakers predicted it
will affect their fight over proposed
limits to U.S. weapons' programs.
House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill
Jr., D-Mass,. said, "When you have
your opposition sitting across the
table, there's always the possibility
of a breakthrough."
O'Neill praised the release of
Nicholas Daniloff, the American
journalist who had been jailed by the
Soviets on spy charges, and said the
freeing of Daniloff had cleared the
way for the Reagan-Gorbachev
meeting in Iceland.
While O'Neill hoped for a break
through, Senate Majority Leader
Bob Dole, R-Kan., cautioned
against high hopes.

Marching toaiid committee
tries to dram nap
By RACHEL ORR
Staff Writer
Student Government and band
members have formed an ad hoc
committee to find additional funding
for the UNC Marching Tar Heels,
according to Student Body President
Bryan Hassel.
The committee's formation stems
from the band's appeal to Student
Congress for money Sept. 17, when
band members requested $8,324 to
purchase new percussion equipment.
The congress postponed voting on
the request until it could study the
issue more.
Hassel said the committee's short
term goal was to find money to pay
for new percussion instruments, but
the committee will also try to get
money to cover other expenses, such
as the purchase of new uniforms and
instruments.
Beth Miller, athletic association
business manager, said the athletic
department allocated money for the
band using the same criteria as for
non-revenue sports. She said the
band received $34,875 this year.
Some of the band's instruments,
such as some alto horns, are about
seven days. They didn't tell us that
before."
Senior Bruce Lillie was regis
tered in a section that was not
listed in the class schedule. He
expected a long wait.
"I'm trying to drop a Class that
doesn't exist, so I won't get an
F," he said.
Valerie Melton, senior, decided
to drop her class after an exam
Monday.
"I think it's stupid for seniors
to have to go through this," she
said. "We know what we're doing
here."
"It's hard to work it in," one
harassed student said. "If you've
got something else to do, you're
kind of in a hole."
Jicha said students drop the
course in which they're doing
their worst work, but poor per
formance is not a valid reason to
drop a class. Valid reasons to
drop a course include a death in
the family, financial difficulties or
a serious illness, he said.
"They don't have to be on their
deathbed," Jicha said. "It has to
be something serious that would
prevent someone from being able
to perform as a student."
If a student needs to drop a
class after the deadline, they must
see their adviser and make a
petition.

expectations, we risk a big disap
pointment," warned Dole, adding
that the meeting "opens the oppor
tunity for agreement on a number
of substantive issues."
The announcement of the Iceland
meeting came as lawmakers
struggled over arms control provi
sions that the Democratic-controlled
House added to a stop-gap budget
bill. .
The restrictions would limit
nuclear weapons construction and
tests, the Star Wars defense pro
gram, and ban chemical weapons.
O'Neill, asked if the restrictions
would weaken Reagan's hand in the
upcoming meeting, said, "I would
say absolutely not ... I don't think
they tie the president's hands."
Dole saw it differently.
"When President Reagan sits
down across the table from Gorba

other in the eye I want Gorbachev
to see a president who has the clear
35 years old, according to "Major"
John Yesulaitis, band director.
Sometimes the band has to borrow
instruments from Chapel Hill High
School or rent equipment, he said.
The band, which has about 270
members, first appealed for Student
Activity Funds for a percussion
package last spring, but the congress
denied funding until the regular
budget could be finalized, said Jaye
Sitton, Student Congress speaker.
Riddick Weber, band president,
said, "New percussion is essential
because (the current percussion
equipment is) 12 years old, and the
wear and tear makes it almost
unusable."
Weber said band members were
able to use the equipment by making
temporary repairs with parts from
unusable instruments.
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor
and dean of student affairs, said the
band was in desperate need of
additional funding.
The Division of Student Affairs
oversees the band and pays the
director's salary, but most financial
support comes from the Athletic

unquestioned mandate to speak for

Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass.,
said the Iceland meeting was "timed
to stoke the fires of those opponents
of arms control" and he told Reagan,
"We are not undercutting you, Mr.
President, we are helping to spur you
on.
Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y., was
critical of the arrangement by which
Daniloff was freed and Gennadiy
Zakharov, an accused Soviet spy,
was to be returned to the Soviet
Union.
"I am troubled by the transpar
ency of trading human lives for
Soviet spies," said Kemp. "However
we try to portray what happened,
the wojld sees that in return for
Daniloff and two Soviet dissidents,
we are releasing Zakharov, softening
the spy expulsion order and holding
a 'pre-summit' in Iceland."

Department, Boulton said.
Members of the division and the
Athletic Department have been
discussing possible ways to make the
band comparable to other large
universities' bands, he said.
Boulton said at least five or six
times the band's current funding
would be needed to finance the band
properly.
"We're kind of 'band-aiding' in a
way for the time being," Boulton
said. "The University needs to do a
major fund-raising drive in the next
few years."
According to a survey compiled
by UNC band members, many other
large public universities' bands, such
as Michigan State University's,
receive more than $100,000 a year.
Despite the discrepancies in fund
ing, Yesulaitis said he was not
complaining about the amount of
money the band receives. "We do the
best we can with what we have," he
said.
Yesulaitis said band students were
the ones pushing for more funds,
although he would be pleased if the
band did get more financial help.
