Student-run
credit union
shows profit
By FELISA NEURINGER
Business Editor
Profits, loans and practical expe
rience are three accomplishments the
Carolina Students Credit Union
(CSCU) can boast about after its first
month of operation.
. CSCU, which opened Jan. 11, is
showing a profit for the first quarter
of 1988, said vice president Andy
Taubman, a junior chemistry major
from Oklahoma City.
"We have $152,000 in assets, and
we will continue to show a profit,"
he said. "Now everything is good, and
because of the loans, everything will
be great very soon.'"
Taubman said the demand for
loans has been higher than the
demand for any other service. CSCU,
which began offering loans last week,
accepts loan applications on Mon
days and Tuesdays.
The credit union, located in Room
103 next to the auditorium of the
Student Union, offers two types of
loans a share-secured loan and a
co-maker loan.
With a share-secured loan, the
bank freezes the amount of the loan
in the borrower's share account or
share certificate, Taubman said.
A student can get a co-maker loan
by co-signing with a person of better
financial status, like a parent, who
will cover the loan if the student is
unable to pay.
"Most students can't get loans at
commercial banks," Taubman said.
"That's why this is such an
innovation."
The loans are for a maximum of
two years. A student can get a co
maker loan for $250 to $2,500 and
a share-secured loan for an unlimited
amount. Taubman said the interest
rates change weekly, but once a
student signs a loan contract, the rate
is set.
"Getting a loan helps a student
build a good credit history," he said.
"At this age, (building credit) will save
you money further down the road
when you need money for cars and
homes . . . ."
Any CSCU member is eligible for
a loan, Credit Union membership
requires a $10 minimum deposit in
a share account, a $10 membership

Tar Heels rally past
feisty Virginia, 64-58
By LANGSTON WERTZ
Staff Writer
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
An emotionally charged Virginia
squad bolted out to an 18-3 lead and
stayed in front most of the way
Sunday, but sixth-ranked North
Carolina scored 10 of the last 12
points over the final three minutes
to defeat the Cavaliers, 64-58.
Junior guard Jeff Lebo scored a
team-high 18 points, including four
three-pointers, and added eight
rebounds for the Tar Heels. Lebo's
17-foot jumper with 1:33 to play put
UNC, which trailed by 11 early in
the second half, ahead to stay at 58
56. The win enabled UNC to keep pace
with Duke in the ACC race, giving
the Tar Heels marks of 7-2 in the
conference and 18-3 overall. Virginia,
in losing its third game in a row, fell
to 12-12 overall and 44 in the ACC.
"We're very happy with the road
win over a good Virginia team," UNC
coach Dean Smith said. "I thought
they were fired up, and they did a
good job defensively."
After Lebo's shot put UNC up by
two, the Cavaliers' Mel Kennedy
. bricked the front end of a one-and-one
at the 1:05 mark, and Scott
Williams had a vicious two-handed
jam at the other end to make it a
four-point game. Lebo and Ranzino
Smith combined to make four free
throws in the final minute to preserve
the win.
"We were pleased with the effort
of our kids," Virginia coach Terry
Holland said. "They gave it all they
had, and we couldn't have asked for
anything more from them. We got

a little tired down the stretch. Of
course, the four fouls on Mel
Kennedy and Bill Batts didn't help
any."
Virginia came out on fire as
Kennedy, John Johnson and Richard
Morgan all connected from three
point range to help the Cavs bolt out
to an early 15-point lead. Kennedy
had eight points in the game-opening
run, including two treys.
"We were just trying to keep our
concentration, and do the things that
we've always done," UNC forward
J.R. Reid said. "Our defense turned
the game around, because nobody
really shot well from the field."
Reid, who finished with 16 points,
had his share of problems shooting
the basketball Sunday, going just 3-of-14
on the afternoon, mirroring his
team's 40-percent performance. For
Reid, who normally shoots almost 67
percent from the field, it was his worst
shooting performance of the season.
The same hot perimeter shooting
that got UVa. out to its early lead
later turned cold. The Wahoos shot
38 percent from the field, including
7-of-19 from three-point land. In the
second half, Virginia made just seven
of 28 field-goal attempts, for 25
percent.
UNC, which had fallen behind 28
12 following a Morgan steal and lay
in, went on a 9-0 run to pull within
seven at 28-21, 4:21 before
intermission.
"We stayed on 28 an awfully long
time, but when you're shooting from
the perimeter, you have stretches like
that," Holland said.

Gay-lesbian group
holds 'kiss-in' to
protest Helms' views
By MARK SHAVER
Staff Writer
RALEIGH Men kissed men
and women kissed women in front
of Sen. Jesse Helms' Raleigh office
Sunday afternoon.
The Queerheels, a sub
committee of the Triangle Lesbian
and Gay Alliance, gathered for a
Valentine's Day Kiss-In to protest
Helms' views on homosexual
rights.
"I'm here to talk about Jesse
Helms the homophobe," said Jill
Duvall, project coordinator for the
Lesbian and Gay Health Project
in Durham and a guest speaker
at the rally. "He's going to be
responsible for hundreds of thou
sands of deaths in the coming
years."
In October, the Senate passed
94-2 a Helms-sponsored amend
ment to a bill that requires all
federally financed educational
materials about AIDS to stress
sexual abstinence. The amend
ment said the materials could not
promote, directly or indirectly,
homosexuality and drug abuse.
In a letter to Helms, the Queer
heels said "such attitudes endanger
our dignity and indeed our very
lives."
Explicit safe-sex and safe-needle
information is the way to cope
with AIDS, the letter said.

Jerry Jones, one of the five
members of the CIA action commit
tee fasting to protest a CIA recruit
ment visit to the UNC law school on
Feb. 25, has broken his fast after
collapsing Sunday morning.
"I was feeling progressively lethar
gic, and this morning I collapsed at
my house," Jones said.
Jones was taken to the Student
Health Service, where he was treated
for dehydration and exhaustion, he
said.
"I was strongly advised to break
my fast," he said. "I feel IVe gone
as long as I can physically."
Amy Thompson, another member
of the committee who is fasting, said,
"He (Jones) went to the last minute.
Student Health even mentioned
trying to give him intravenous. If he
hadn't broken his fast, it may have
been out of his hands anyway."
Thompson said Jones' reactions
were very slow and that he was very
weak.

A proposal to construct a cube
shaped billboard and a bus shelter
on South Campus in front of Chase
Hall was passed by the University
Building and Grounds Committee
Thursday, said Jody Beasley, student
body treasurer.
Beasley said the new communica
tions billboard would be similar to
the cube on North Campus and serve
primarily the same purpose.
"There is no communication outlet
between students on South Campus
right now," Beasley said. "This is a
way to link the students together."
Kelly Clark, Resident Hall Asso
ciation president, said he thinks the
new cube will make the South
Street Mall, across from the State
Capitol. Seven police officers
stood nearby.
"(Helms) doesn't think gays and
lesbians are human," said Steve
Sullivan, a UNC student. Sullivan
held a handwritten orange sign
that read: "I'm the man my mother
always warned me about."
"We deserve a Valentine's Day,"
Sullivan said. "It's something
weVe been denied all our lives.
"In Chapel Hill I've walked
down the street holding hands
with my lover, and IVe gotten
death threats. This is showing that
we have the right to hold hands
in public."
The protesters, carrying pink
and lavender balloons and trailed
by TV cameras and reporters,
walked quickly down the mall to
the Century Post Office Building,
where Helms' office is located.
They set up what they called a
"condoments" table and distri
buted free condoms, breath mints
and mouthwash.
"This is to insure it will be as
pleasant as possible for all con
cerned," Sullivan said. The pro
testers then formed a circle.
"We're here to show Jesse
Helms what we think of him and
what we think of ourselves,"
Sullivan said. "We need to remind
ourselves that we can kiss each
other publicly. We're affirming
our integrity and worth."
basically been sleeping," she said. "I
call that non-functioning.
"There was no way Jerry could
have gotten there (to Student Health)
unless I held him up," she said.
"Our fast shows we obviously care
about humanity. It was very difficult
for us to watch Jerry in the condition
he was in," Thompson added.
Lisa Blighton, another fasting
committee member, said Jones could
not concentrate and could not walk
without support from someone else.
"He had a bad headache and
pressure behind his eyes," she said.
Jones is 5 feet 11 inches tall and
weighs 126 or 128 pounds, Blighton
said.
"We could see the changes in him
daily," she said. "His health deteri
orated so quickly."
Blighton and Thompson said they
will continue to fast. "We're hoping
Chancellor (Christopher) Fordham
will come to a decision and speak with
us soon," Thompson said.
Although University administra
tors have said they cannot prevent
the CIA from recruiting on campus,
ampins
cotee, Ibes sEnetar
Campus Student Union more viable.
"Half of the students at UNC live
on South Campus, Knd we have a
union that isn't used like a union,"
Clark said. "We need a communica
tions network so that students won't
have to travel to North Campus to
get information."
The primary users of the cube will
be the four South Campus dorm
governments, the South Campus
Union, the Residence Hall Associa
tion, members of black Greek organi
zations and the Black Student Move
ment, Beasley said.
The cube will be eight-sided, and
organizations who use the cube will
need to supply their own paint and
a plastic covering for the brick
walkway under the cube, he said.

Jones said he had discovered a
document that he thought applied to
this situation.
"The University is saying there is
nothing they can do," Jones said.
"But there is a policy set up to regulate
any non-affiliated group use of an
indoor or outdoor University
facility."
Blighton said, "I really don't think
it's out of their (University officials)
hands to do anything."
According to a memorandum
Chancellor Fordham wrote in March
1983, requests for the use of Univer
sity space by groups not affiliated
with UNC must be approved in
writing by University officials, Jones
said.
"The University must approve
everybody from those selling pots and
pans to those selling magazines to
lecturers and CIA recruiters," he said.
Jones said he did not feel the
position of the action committee was
weakened by his decision to stop
fasting.

In a written proposal to the Build
ing and Grounds Committee, Student
Government approximated the cost
of the cube to be around $450.
Each of the four South Campus
residence hall governments, the
Carolina Union and the Executive
Branch of Student Government will
help fund the project, Beasley .said.
The $7,000 bus shelter project will
be funded by Chapel Hill Transit and
subsidies from the state government
and the University, said Charles
Mills, co-chairman of South Campus
Outreach, the student government
committee that initiated both
projects.
