An Alpha Phi Omega service
project to collect the tops of alum
inum cans to raise funds for needy
kidney patients has been scrapped,
because the "pop top drop" program
exists only as a rumor.
Carolyn Fox, APO president, said
Wednesday that the fraternity has
been collecting pop tops since
August. Plans to put drop boxes for
the tops all over campus have been

Parking permit fees will increase
from 10 percent to 25 percent for
students, faculty and employees
beginning July 1, according to
University officials.
I know it's not a very popular
thing to do, but we have to recognize
the reality that to operate and
maintain the lots we have to raise
permit costs' said Claude E.
Swecker, associate vice chancellor
for facilities management.
The new rates, which will hit
faculty and employees the hardest,
were approved by the Board of
Trustees Friday.
Usually, parking permit increases
are the same for all permits, but the
new rates will make controlled access
and gated lot parking increase by 25
percent, while permits for other lots
will increase between 10 percent and
15 percent.

Student Congress appropriated
$6,000 to the 1987 Fine Arts Festival
and $1,570 for the annual Springfest
celebration at a regular meeting
Wednesday night.
The congress also approved the
appointment of Doug Thomas as
student attorney general and passed
a bill giving the congress' finance
chairman a vote in the congress' final
budget process.

APO members are not the only
people to collect the aluminum tops,
mistakenly believing that aluminum
companies will pay expensive dia
lysis costs for kidney patients in
exchange for the tops received.
According to an official at the
Chapel Hill office of the National
Kidney Foundation, the rumors
have been traveling across the United
States, giving people the false idea
that they can help needy kidney

"The increases are not too much
bigger (than in previous years), but
are spread differently," Swecker said.
"This time the more attractive lots
will have higher increases, and the
more remote lots will have less of
an increase."
Although South Campus has gate
lots around North Carolina Memor
ial Hospital and the parking deck,
most of the lots affected by the 25
percent increase are on North Cam

employees.

The festival did not receive

The idea has been circulating for

Swecker said, except for P-lot, which

Permits for AU-G-lots will

About $240,000 will be generated
from the permit increases, he said.
The money will be used to pay
overall expenses, such as salaries,

Reagan admits Iran
By LAURIE DUNCAN
Staff Writer
UNC and Capitol Hill officials
agreed that President Reagan
improved his public image Wednes
day when he called the Iran initiative
a mistake and presented an outline
for his administration's reform.
But many contend that the speech
is just a first step for Reagan, and
there are still questions to be
answered.
"The things that have already been
revealed indicate that there are a lot
of skeletons still left," said James
Leutze, chairman of UNC's Peace,
War and Defense curriculum.
In a 12-minute, nationally tele
vised speech, Reagan promoted the
revitalization of his administration
with new personnel, new guidelines
for accountability within the admin
istration, and stricter limits on the
National Security Council.
"Tonight the president reached the
same judgment the American public
reached weeks and weeks ago," said
Sen. Robert Dole, R-K.an., referring
to Reagan's acknowledgment that
the Iran policy was flawed. "This isn't
behind him yet, but it's a start."
from the community," he said. "It
could serve as a representation of the
city and University working
together."
But problems arose when , Rie
mann told the congress that the
festival organizers had made seven
late requisitions, totaling $6,475. The
requisitions were late because the
group had signed contracts with four
speakers and three performers before
the requests for funding had gone
through the proper channels.

The body of UNC junior John
Nathaniel Partridge III was found
in a creek near his parents' Raleigh
home at 10 a.m. Wednesday by
Raleigh police.
He had been missing since he
walked out of his parents' 4805
Rampart St. home 32 days ago.
Raleigh police said Wednesday
that they did not know the cause of
death Wednesday night, and that the
autopsy report would not be avail
able until Thursday.
Partridge's body had been in the
creek behind Northbrook Country
Club for about three weeks, Raleigh
police Sgt. John Beasley said
Wednesday.
"It could be more, it could be less,"
Beasley said. "He'd been there for
a good while." He refused to spec
ulate about the possible cause of
death. Beasley also said he didn't
know why police didn't find Par
tridge's body earlier.
The second floor of Grimes Res
idence Hall, where Partridge lived,
was very quiet Wednesday night.
Partridge's friends said that during
the weeks he was missing, they never
thought he was dead.
"We were worried that maybe he
was cold or wasn't eating good meals
or "wasn't coming back to schools
said sophomore York Morgan, who
lived across the hall from Partridge.
"We never thought that he'd be gone
forever."
His hallmates said they thought
Partridge, who was president of
Grimes, probably had committed
suicide. "He was the nicest guy in
the world," said freshman Andy
Murphy, of 203 Grimes. "That's why
it was so hard to think about
suicide."
Suicide would be very out of
character for Partridge, they said.
"Even if he did hurt himself, the
Dole called Reagan's speech a
"brilliant presentation" that was
everything the American public
could expect to hear.
He said the president was on the
right track by admitting mistakes in
the Iran policy and starting new
processes in the White House.
The speech was noteworthy
because Reagan showed personal
vigor and appeared alert and in
control, Leutze said.
How Reagan handles the present
situation is more important to most
Americans than how he handled the
Iran affair, because people are tired
of the particulars of the Iran issue,
he said.
, Reagan's speech responded to the
Tower Commission report released
last Thursday, which criticized the
president's management style, ignor
ance of details, and lack of attention
to consequences of the Iran policy.
"The way I work is to identify the
problem, find the right individuals
to do the job and then let them go
do it," Reagan said. "When it came
to managing the NSC staff, my style
didn't match its track record. I have
already begun correcting this."

According to treasury laws, after
a group accumulates five late requi

from congress.
Congress also appropriated $ 1 ,570
to Henderson Residence College for
use in Springfest '87. The bill to
allocate the money to HRC,
authored by Brock Dickinson (Dist.
13) and Springfest organizer Liz
Cass, passed by a consent vote.

Wednesday.
Before Wednesday, Raleigh police
said that they had no leads in the
case and that they did not think
Partridge would be found in Raleigh.

Reagan's personnel changes
included the appointments of Frank
Carlucci as national security adviser,
Howard Baker as chief of staff and
the nomination Tuesday of William
Webster as CIA director.
Acknowledging his lack of candid
ness in the last three months, Reagan
said, "I've paid a price for my silence
in terms of your trust and confi-.

have you, for the complete story."
