A new SAFO director, who will
replace current director Frances
Sparrow upon her retirement,
should be ready to restructure the
Student Activities Fund System, a
committee of students and admin
istrators concluded Wednesday.
The committee, composed of
SAFO employees, student leaders
and University administrators, met
to suggest job descriptions for a new
SAFO director to be selected by mid
April. Since Sparrow's retirement has
been expected. Dean of Students
Frederic Schroeder said he began
meeting with students last summer
to plan the changeover. Schroeder
called Wednesday's meeting so
organizations that work with SAFO
often could suggest ways to improve
it.
Proposals centered on making
SAFO more accessible and improv
ing communication between SAFO
and student groups, which receive
part of the almost half million dollars

CLEMSON, S.C. In a perfor
mance that can only be characterized
as schizophrenic, the UNC Tar Heels
rebounded from a horrible first-half
showing to defeat the Clemson
Tigers 108-99 Wednesday night. The
win moves the top-ranked Tar Heels
to 18-1 overall and 7-0 in the ACC.
Clemson falls to 18-2 and 4-2.
"Obviously, we're delighted to win
ths game," UNC coach Dean Smith
said. "There were two different
North Carolina teams out there
tonight one in the first half and
another in the second."
UNC trailed 50-38 at intermission,
but Kenny Smtih and J.R. Reid
combinbed to dominate the final 20
minutes to spark the Tar Heel
comback. Smith was 4-of-4 from 3
point range as he scored 27 of his
career-high 41 points, while Reid
added 13 on 6-of-6 shooting in that
second half.
Smith and Reid were the keys to
the two Tar Heel spurts which gave
the team the victory. The first came
with the score 56-49 Clemson, when
North Carolina suddenly discovered
its customary game and began
pounding the ball inside. Reid scored
on three consecutive trips down the
court, and after Dave Popson and
Horace Grant traded baskets, Smith
hit twice from 3-point range to give
UNC a 63-60 lead.
Clemson was able, as it had all
night, to withstand the charge. An
Anthony Jenkins 3-point bomb put
the Tigers back on top, and when
two minutes later Grant worked
inside and converted a three-point
play, Clemson led 78-73. That,
however, would be the Tigers' last
hurrah, as Smith decided to take
over the game.
He began UNC's final run by
hitting a jumper off the dribble. He
then nailed two free throws and
jammed home an intercepted pass.
Three minutes later, Jeff Lebo hit
a 3-pointer from the top of the key
to put UNC up 9 1-83. The Tar Heels
never looked back, as they coasted
through a final four minutes of free
throw basketball.
lt was like a high school game
where you keep going up and down,"
Kenny Smith said. "But in the second
half, we were getting good shots and
forcing them into some tough shots.
The opportunities were there
tonieht. and offensivelv it was iust
falling in."
Those opportunities were
nowhere to be found in the first half,
primarily because the Tar Heels
turned the ball over 14 times. It's
tough to score when you donH have
the ball and thanks to Clemson's
ball-hawking defense and some
lapses of concentration on the Tar
:X Heels' part, UNC didnl for much
of the first twenty minutes. The Tar
Heels, were thoroughly dominated

Candidates for student body
president were asked the follow
ing question Wednesday:
What specific actions would
you take to combat federal stu
dent aid cuts and possible
increases in tuition by the N.C.
General Assembly, and how
effective would those actions be?
Keith Cooper said he would
implement his "financial aid
safeguard plan" which involves
bringing together large coalitions
of students to lobby against the
cuts.
Cooper said he would encour
age the coalition to go to
Washington to lobby N.C. repre
sentatives to fight the cuts in
student aid. He said he would
monitor the General Assembly
and watch for tuition increase
proposals.
If an increase were imminent.
Cooper said he would "give them
hell."
Gordon Hill said he had the
necessary contacts to lobby North
Carolina's delegation in Washing

Hill also suggested a University

Mark Gunter said organization
was the key to effective lobbying
efforts. He said he doubted much
could be done about cuts in
student aid at the federal level,
but he would encourage Student
Government to help student
groups in their lobbying efforts.
Gunter said that he could also
help an executive committee, or
student organization lobby
against possible tuition increases.
"I know more of the state repre

Raleigh who could help," he said.

Raleigh last year and successfully
lobbied against in-state tuition
increases, and she would do so

Most of the recommendations
in a 10-year-old review of the
Student Activities Fund System,
re-introduced to students and
administrators in a meeting Wed
nesday, have been followed,
according to UNC's student body
treasurer.
But a few of the recommenda
tions haven't been acted upon
either because they were simply
not heeded, or because the 1976
recommendations were no longer
applicable after 10 years, Student
Body Treasurer, John Williams
said.
The report, prepared for the
University in 1976 by a UNC
systems accountant and a grad
uate student in business admin
istration, was given Wednesday to
a committee which is re
evaluating the Student Activities
Fund System.

reach the state's representatives in
Washington and Raleigh to pre
vent student aid cuts or tuition
increases, she said.
Brian Bailey said he felt the
federal aid cuts were a problem
that couldn't be solved imme
diately so he favored the creation
of more campus jobs for students.
If there are tuition increases,
Bailey said "the University should
look for ways to give that money
back to students."
Students won't be very effective '
in lobbying against the federal aid
cuts, but Student Government
should be available to groups
needing lobbying help, he said.
David Brady said he would
fight tuition hikes and aid cuts
with with an orgainized lobbying
assault. He would get students
and student leaders to fight
tuition increases in Raleigh.
He would also use the resources
of students' parents and influen-.
tial friends to campaign both in
Raleigh and Washington.
Student demonstrations,
designed to draw the state's media
would heighten awareness about
the problem and put heat on
politicians, Brady said. ;
The University also needs to
provide alternatives, like more
student jobs on campus, he said.

According to Williams, the
recommendations that have been

constant supervision, especially
during the summers. Action:

Affairs and the Student Audit

B Providing a manual for the

At a Black Student Movement
forum Wednesday, about 60 stu
dents questioned student body pres
ident candidates about minority
issues.
A BSM panel and members of the
audience at the Upendo Lounge
confronted the candidates, asking
what they would do to increase black
enrollment and how hey would
work to make blacks more comfor
table on campus.
Jaye Sitton said the UNC admin
istration's lack of commitment to
ending racism on campus is an
obstacle to reaching minority enroll
ment quotas.
"That commitment is not there to
the extent it needs to be," she said.
"Blacks sense that. That's one reason
they don't want to come."
As evidence of her dedication to
black issues at UNC, Sitton cited two
Student Congress bills she authored,
calling for University recognition of
Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and
urging the Endowment Board to
divest from companies doing busi
ness in South Africa.
David Brady suggested moving
groups of black students from South
Campus to North Campus residence
halls. "The majority of blacks on this
campus live in two or three dorms,"
he said. "When you live with people,
you can learn about them and respect
their culture."
"Unequal" is a better word than
"uncomfortable" to describe black
status at the University, Brady said.
He cited the presence of all-white
fraternities as an example of the
inequality blacks face at UNC.
Many black students don't come
to UNC because they don't know
anything about it, Brady said. "We
need to show people what Carolina
has to offer." ,
Gordon Hill said that moving
blacks from one part of campus to
another won't help to solve the
problem of racism on campus. "If
you have 1 5 whites who feel uncom
fortable on one side of (a predom
inantly black) campus, it's not going
to make, them feel better to move
eight of them to the other side of
campus."
"We need to look at solutions that
will allow students to stay in school,"
Hill said. "Everyone wants a Black
Cultural Center. But we have to look
at feasibility. We have to look at
ways to keep students here."
When prospective black students
visit UNC's campus, they look for
wings. Zuzu

things to identify with, he said, and
when blacks establish an identity at
the University black enrollment will
increase.
Brian Bailey said giving blacks a
tangible example of the administra
tion's commitment to minorities is
needed to improve minority enrol
lment. "We need something tangible,
something on campus to show that
the administration cares about
blacks. Committees won't help."
When asked about his statement
that the divestment issue would not
improve student life on campus,
Bailey repeated that divestment is
not a suitable issue for Student
Government.
"The way I define a campus issue
is something that improves student
life on campus, something that we
can go through the administration
to change," he said. "I don't think
divestment is going to change stu
dent life."
Although divestment is a "great
moral stance," Bailey said it should
be pursued by special-interest groups
like the Anti-Apartheid Support
Group, not Student Government.
Keith Cooper disagreed. "Student
Government should hit the Endow
ment Board very, very hard," he said.
Cooper said he wants to join
forces with the BSM to eliminate
institutionalized racism at UNC. "I
will fight very, very hard for the
rights of students."
Financing more high school tutor
ing programs and giving minority
students information about financial
aid, tuition and housing would
attract more blacks, he said. "Insti
tuting these programs will, in the
long run, lead to a beefed-up minor
ity enrollment."
Extending UNC's summer pro
gram for minority students is one of
Mark Gunter 's goals as student body
president. "I'd like to extend the
summer program so we can get
students to come back and expe
rience what UNC is like during fall
and spring semesters, which is
entirely different from the summer."
Increasing enrollment would
make blacks more comfortable at
UNC, Gunter told the BSM panel.
"I do not know exactly how you feel,
but numbers are the main reason for
being uncomfortable. I think we do
need to move people up to North
Campus."
