Donald Woods, whose book inspired the recent movie "Cry Freedom," spoke about apartheid and how the South African government maintains the system. The lecture was the first in a series sponsored by the Carolina Union : Forum Committee. I Apartheid has been recognized legally by the nation since 1948. :By using 317 racial codes and Idenying blacks the right to vote :or hold property, 5 million whites control 27 million blacks, as well .as 87 percent of all land in the country. ! The current conflict in South .Africa is over universal suffrage : the principle of one person, one .vote, Woods said. "The blacks are saying, 'give us the vote, and well get rid of the other 316 (racial codes) ourselves, " he said. : Woods said he learned about the system of apartheid from growing up in South Africa.

Only people who were not black were allowed to remove nails, Woods said, because "hammering nails is not a skilled task, but pulling them out is."

Students will not be able to hear any of the broadcast on location, however, and would be better off watching the program on television, the spokeswo Cooirt may try case without By JUSTIN McGUIRE Assistant University Editor The Graduate Student Court may be able to hear UNC graduate student Dale McKinley's hearing on four charges related to CIA protests even if he is not present, officials said Sunday. When the Graduate Student Court board decided not to allow McKinley to discuss CIA activities as part of his defense, McKinley walked out on his hearing and said he would not return. UNC law professor Robert Byrd, chairman of the Committee on Student Conduct, said Sunday that the Instrument of Student Judicial Governance indicates a student can be tried in absentia, if the student has been notified of the hearing. The committee, composed of students, faculty and administrators, is respon sible for reviewing and recommend ing changes in the Instrument. Graduate Student Attorney General Scott Dratch said he would ask the committee to clarify at a regular meeting this afternoon UNC police debate value of improvements By BETH RHEA Staff Writer University Police administrators said Thursday they are taking steps to improve morale in the department, but officers said they have not noticed any significant changes in adminis trators' treatment of them. The department submitted a report to Chancellor Paul Hardin in Sep tember that outlined proposals for the improvement of department morale. Police department managers have met four times with Charles Antle, associate vice chancellor of business and finance, to discuss the implemen Marchlos on n oo'ciiimoreini - Chapel Hill, North Carolina DTHBrian Foley U ove worirni man said. Rickie Gaffney, producer of "Good Morning America," said Friday that North Carolina was chosen as the site of one of the programs because of its importance as a pivotal Southern state in the election. The University itself was chosen not only for its beauty, but also for its academic tradition, she said. "When I think of the cradles of education in this country, there's whether a student can be tried without being present at the hearing. However, Byrd said the Instrument of Student Judicial Governance is fairly clear on the issue. "If the individual has been alerted to the hearing, but chooses not to come, the court has no choice but to try him," he said. McKinley was brought before the court on four charges: obstructing the normal operations of the University as a result of a Feb. 23 incident at the University Motor Inn, and obstruction, trespassing and disor derly conduct at an April 15 de monstration at Hanes Hall. As part of his defense, McKinley planned to present information concerning past illegal activities of the CIA, but the board ruled not to allow that evidence. McKinley said Friday he didn't believe the Graduate Student Court was aware of what it was doing when it made the ruling. "They are very confused," he said.

"Hardin requested a plan of the various steps we were going to take to improve morale and deal with stressful situations," he said. Robert Sherman, director of secur ity services, was optimistic about the steps being taken. "I believe the majority of the personnel are feeling very good about what we're doing and where we're headed," he said.

But most of the funds for faculty salary increases should be given to chancellors at UNC-system institu tions to use for merit raises for faculty, UNC-system president CD. Spangler said Friday. Spangler presented the budget proposal and made his recommenda tion at the board's monthly meeting. The board's budget will go to Governor Jim Martin to be included in the budget he will present to the General Assembly in January. According to the budget, faculty members at the 16 institutions in the UNC system should receive a 12 percent increase for 1989-90 and an 8 percent increase for 1990-91, the largest requested increases in several years. The increases would require appropriations of $67.9 million and $114.5 million, respectively. Spangler recommended a yearly Cambridge, there's Berkeley and there's Chapel Hill," she said. UNC Chancellor Paul Hardin praised the decision by ABC to examine education from the nation's oldest state university. "Education clearly has emerged as a key issue in this campaign, and I am excited that the University will play a role in increasing awareness See TAPING page 7 "I never asked them to rule if the CIA is lawful," he said. "I asked them to hear my arguments. They're denying my right to a fair trial." McKinley said he may consider other avenues to get CIA evidence allowed, such as the Student Supreme Court. But Byrd said there are specific avenues of appeal within the honor system, and the only way the supreme court may be able to get involved is if a violation of the student consti tution is alleged. The Chapel Hill Coaliton for Freedom to Dissent (CFD) held a rally on the steps of the South Building Friday to protest the court's decision not to admit evidence against the CIA. At the rally, senior Brock Dickin son read a CFD statement demand ing that the honor court: a allow McKinley's "defense of conscience a full and fair hearing"; D not abridge the right of free speech; and B not stifle free speech in the form of dissent. mented involves the Office of Admin istrative" Analysis (OAA), a division of the N.C.

"We have a long and proud tra dition of student government at UNC," Dickinson said. "Over the last few weeks and last few days ... we have seen a betrayal of what the honor court stands for." The court's decision not to allow evidence against the CIA based on the University's decision to invite the CIA here to recruit challenges the autonomy of student government, Dickinson said. "We may have seen the first major step in the destruction of the honor system at UNC," he said. Junior Anne Duehring said she is concerned about the recent actions of the University toward protesters.
