C Preiregistratiomi process under way for siorimis semester By ANDREW WATERS Staff Writer Preregistration begins next week, so it's time to start thinking : . about next semester's classes. ; j Juniors and seniors should turn ;in their preregistration forms between Oct. 31 and Nov. 4. .Freshmen and sophomores in the :; General College need to make .appointments with their advisers iip through Nov. 22 to complete their forms. DonnaRedmon, assistant regis trar for registration, said the preregistration forms should be ; turned in to the basement of Hanes Hall bet wee m 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on those days. A list of classes is printed in the Directory of Classes for the spring 1989 semester, which is available in the basement of Hanes Hall. X Students are not required to :-preregister. They can wait until registration day in January, but .' ; students have a greater chance of getting the classes they want if they : reregister, Redmon said. "You still have an opportunity to register on registration days, Jordan addresses the crowd at the O review The forum, "Assessing Good Teaching," was moderated by Joel Schwartz, director of the Center for Learning and Teaching. Ed Neal, director of instructor training at the center, represented the administra tion; Michael Salemi, economics professor, represented the faculty; and Steve Tepper, senior class pres which are January 12 and 13, but it's far better to preregister if you possibly can," she said. Betsy Taylor, student services manager at the College of Arts and Sciences, said students can pick up the preregistration forms from the department or school of their major or from their General College adviser. The forms must be signed by a departmental or General College adviser before students can turn the forms in at Hanes Hall. Some advisers, including General College advisers, require a conference with the student, but others will simply sign the form if the student does not have any questions, Taylor said. "A lot of kids come (to their adviser) just to make sure they know what they need to graduate," Taylor said. "Others just want their adviser to sign the form." Advisers can tell students what courses they must take, how many hours they need and what grade point average they need in order See REGISTER page 3 Whoever named it necking was a poor judge of anatomy.

Richard Beckman, UNC associate journalism professor, said the new still video technology involves shoot ing photographs onto a computer like disk which can hold up to 50 color images to be viewed on a computer terminal. The photographs are then printed on an apparatus similar to a computer color printer. The still video technology gives photographers an advantage over film photography by allowing them to print a large number of pictures immediately and to erase a disk and reuse it, Beckman said. "And you are not using up valuable resources," he said. The Smithsonian is one of the leaders in the still video field, Beck man said. Twenty-four UNC students used the camera Tuesday after a brief introduction, Beckman said. The students were allowed to walk around campus, and each took about 50 pictures. Seniors Julie Stovall and Nancy Fister won separate portfolio topics See CAMERA page 4 Chapel Hill, North Carolina By HELLE NIELSEN and CRYSTAL BERNSTEIN Staff Writers TheJPit looked and sounded like a Democratic convention Tuesday; with balloons and signs waving in the air for a cheering crowd as state Democratic candidates gathered for an hour-long "unity rally." About 450 people crowded the Pit to hear and cheer on the candidates with such chants as "Duke in '88," "Where Was George," and "Here we go, Jordan, here we go." Their cheers were often interrupted by "Bush in 88" and "Boston Harbor" from George Bush supporters in the crowd. Gubernatorial candidate Bob Jor dan; Tony Rand, candidate for lieutenant governor; U.S. Rep. David Price and most other statewide Democratic candidates spoke on their candidacies before Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton spoke to endorse Michael Dukakis for president. The rally was . organized by the UNC Young Demo crats with other colleges from around the state. Recently-elected Mr. UNC Cedric Brown began the rally with the pledge of allegiance and sang the national anthem before Price spoke. "We're here to tell you victory is in the air," said Price, who is running against Tom Fetzer for the 4th District seat. "We are going to win because we're united up and down the ticket. ... We are going to win because we're right or the issues."- The Democratic Party stands for inclusive and constructive policies and cares about social justice, "which has not arrived until we bring every body along for a better life," Price said. The theme running through all speeches was that the Reagan admin istration has left the United States ill prepared for the future because it failed to invest in education and of Arts and Sciences to improve education at UNC. The recommen dations were made during an arts and sciences faculty meeting earlier this month. The CCR is published once every semester, Salemi said.

Inflation, unemployment and interest rates are down from 1980, but average hourly wages have dropped, Clinton said. Fewer people can afford to go to college, and the budget deficit is higher than ever, he said. "This country is not competitive in education and economic growth," Clinton said. "We are electing a president in 1988 to deal with some of the most critical problems America has faced, and we're making our decision based on the pledge and furloughs." To be competitive in the world economy of the future, the United States must educate its people and diversify its economy, Clinton said. Dukakis' record on education and economic growth in Massachusetts shows he knows how to deal with these issues, he said. "Dukakis did a better job of bringing jobs to poor people and the community than any other governor, including me," Clinton said. "If Dukakis is elected, the kids in my state will have better education, a better chance of getting a job; and America will have a better future." Jordan spoke of education as the key to North Carolina's future. Jobs, including those in industry, will require increasing levels of education, he said. The state must make it. possible for more people to attend college, he said, criticizing Martin for - a proposal to increase tuition. "You're going to have to be smar ter, your children are going to have to be smarter, and for that to happen, you're going to need an advocate," Jordan said. "I do want to be your advocate. "We have to invest in research, and we have to see that you have the best . teachers available."

In interviews following the rally,; the candidates said although much; work is needed for Democratic; success in most races, the campaigns; are moving upward. "A great deal of enthusiasm is; beginning to build," said Rand, who; is competing with Republican Jim; Gardner for lieutenant governor. ; The youth vote is important, Rand said. "I think people need to get involved, make their opinions felt and their presence known." Making home ownership possible; for young people and making college education more affordable through student loans and through restoring' a tax deduction for interests on such loans are issues of particular impor-j tance to young people, Price said. The Democrats' stands on these and other issues should make students vote for them, he said. The candidates were pleased with the UNC rally. "I feel very enthused about the support I'm seeing," Price said. "I haven't seen that many people at a political rally around here for , a long time." Chapel Hill has "by far" the most politically aware student body of all UNC campuses, he said. Students at the rally," many of whom carried signs for Democratic candidates, seemed receptive to the candidates messages.
