The Commission on the Future of
the South met in Little Rock, Ark.,
for two days to address the problem
of the "two Souths. Some areas,
such as the cities, prosper while the
more rural areas remain underdevel
oped, said the commission's chair
man, former Mississippi Gov. Wil
liam Winter.
"Just as the nation couldn't
survive half slave and half free
(before the Civil War), the South
cant prosper if you have two groups
of people, one doing well and
another not," Winter said.
The 23-page report from the
commission titled "Halfway Home,
a Long Way to Go," deals with
various concerns such as education,
adult illiteracy and technological
development.
NoCo State halts sprang admissions
By PAUL CORY
Staff Writer
Enrollment limits set by the the
UNC Board of Governors have
forced North Carolina State Univer
sity to freeze undergraduate admis
sions for the spring semester of 1987.
N.C. State usually admits between
400 to 500 undergraduates for the
spring semester, said Anna Keller,
dean of admissions. But it will admit
only 20 students previously guaran

"The report's basic premise is that
as far as we have come in the South,
we still have a long way to go,"
Winter said. He called the report
"one of the most comprehensible,
readable and, therefore, implemen
table documents" he had ever seen.
The commission is established
every six years to deal with the
South's long-term problems and
opportunities. This was the 1 4th
annual meeting of the commission.
Representatives from Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carol
ina, Tennessee, Virginia and Puerto
Rico make up the commission.
Robert Albright of Charlotte, pres
ident of Johnson C. Smith Univer
sity, is a member of the commission.
Gov. Jim Martin has six
restrictions we have ever had to put
in place," said Nash Winstead,
provost and vice chancellor.
The BOG implemented the freeze
when approximately 400 more stu
dents than expected decided to
return to the university in the fall.
Since yearly enrollment is calculated
as an average for the fall and spring
semesters, the number of students to
be admitted in the spring had to be
reduced, Winstead said.
The university decided to cut
down on the number of transfer

In developing plans for the fund
drive, the committee recommended
requesting an endowment of
$30,000,000 for undergraduate scho
larships. That would be divided
between need-based scholarships,
receiving $1,225,000, and $575,000
for the merit scholarships.
The total result would be addi
tional scholarship funds totaling
$2,500,000.
Other sources would also be
investigated, Reice said.
"Athletics bring a lot of money
into the University," he said. "It's not
an unreasonable resource to tap
into."

appointed members on the commis
sion. "He has been represented," said
Tim Pittman, press secretary for
Martin. "His appointments have an
active role in it (the commission)."
He said that Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan
also had some representatives as the
meeting. "It's a multi-level, multi
effort task," Pittman said.
In North Carolina there is an
apparent scattering of growth
reflected by the distribution of
employment. The lowest rate of
unemployment in the state is in the
Triangle, said Yvonne Ennis,
research analyst for the N.C.
Employment Security Commission.
"The mountain and coastal counties'
(unemployment) tends to be higher,"
she said.
To correct such sporadic develop
ment, the commission's report,
admissions rather than cut the
number of adult students. "There is
a huge cry from the adult population,
the 30-, 40- and 50-year-olds who
need additional education to retool
for the job market," he said. "We
did not want to cut them out." He
added that the university currently
offers 330 night courses for them.
Nash also said that N.C. State
would limit freshman admissions for
the fall semester of 1987 to 3,300
students. The university admitted
3,400 students for the fall semester
tors to decriminalize the drug.
And in 1983, when David Garrow,
an associate professor of political
science, was denied tenure at UNC,
students protested for more than 10
months lobbying for his tenure.
Their efforts were in vain.
In November 1980, about 800
students gathered for "The Rally for
Justice" in front of South Building
to hear the student body president
and others call for an end to racism
from the steps of the building.
That tradition of protest con
tinued last year, when students
protested a decision by UNC admin
istrators that upheld the unexplained
firing of George Gamble, associate
director of the Campus Y. A series
of vigils outside Steele Building were
held in November 1985, urging
administrators to reinstate Gamble.

issued Monday, emphasized the
importance of education. The report
said that Southern states should try
to provide their students with com
petitive educati6n by 1992. It also
said that states should mobilize
resources to eliminate adult
illiteracy.
The report also advised that the
role of higher education be further
developed. The tasks of higher
education range from remedial
education to generating internation
ally competitive research, Winter
said.

extra 200 students granted to the
school by the BOG, would help
alleviate this year's problems.
"We hope to have the situation in
hand so we do not have to take
stringent actions next spring," Win
stead said.
Keller added that decreasing the
number of freshman admissions for
the fall semester of 1987 would also
enable the university to keep
"transfers at the firm figure we
want."

to protest against ARA, the on
campus food service before Marri

tradition of complaining about
cafeteria fare.
Such concern had been voiced at
UNC before, with more dramatic
results.
In 1969, state troopers in riot gear
closed Lenoir Hall cafeteria during
a month-long strike by cafeteria
employees. Students overturned
chairs in the cafeteria to protest poor
treatment of workers.
The expression of opinion is what
UNC is all about, Dean of Students
Frederic Schroeder said Tuesday.
"It's about people thinking and
coming to conclusions and taking
stands," he said.
Protests like the shanty built by
the anti-apartheid group show that
students are concerned about issues
that go beyond their immediate lives,
Schroeder said. "It's a clear expres
sion of very strong interest in others."

High Point's on a roll
with new movie studio
By MATT BIVENS
Staff Writer
High Point so6n will be ushered
into the film-making industry with
the construction of a new movie
studio near the city, Gov. Jim Martin
announced this week.
The new studio, to be called the
Carolina Atlantic Production Com
pany, will be the third motion picture
studio in North Carolina. The others
are Earl Owensby's complex in
Shelby and Dino De Laurentiis'
DEG studios in Wilmington.
The studio to be launched with
a groundbreaking ceremony on Nov.
21 will include a state of the art
soundstage, which is crucial to the
production of many films, said Tim
Pittman, Martin's press secretary.
Technical features of the sound
stage will include 36-foot high
ceilings, a lighting grid with nine
interconnecting catwalks, 6,000
amps of power and a 500-ton air
conditioner.
Pittman said the studio will benefit
North Carolinians by providing
employment. The motion picture
industry is healthy for the state
because it is a clean industry that
enhances the image of the state and
brings in revenue because people
associated with the industry migrate
to North Carolina, he said.

The principal owners and inves

Square Partners of High Point and
the Carolina Atlantic Production
Co., he said.
Martin left Sunday for Los
Angeles, Ca., in a trip designed to
thank the motion picture industry
for its support and to try to attract
interest and films to the new facility.
He will return Friday.
North Carolina is the third busiest
center of production in the motion
picture industry, ranking only
behind New York and California.
The project, which will cost about
$750,000, has been under consider
ation by Market Square Partners for
more than a year.
