None of the 12 UNC football players who left the team last week were coerced into doing so, coach Mack Brown said Tuesday. "None of the young people were asked to leave," Brown said by telephone from Charlotte, site of this weekend's North-South Shrine Bowl. "1 gave each and every young man an opportunity to stay. All we're trying to do is help young people accomplish what they want to in life. "I think the thing that is important is this: It would be big if we'd run them off. We haven't done that." Brown said the coaching staff held one-on-one meetings with every UNC player on Nov. 20, thcday after, the . a-Dim sum cd i Congress Funding of 20000 J- A .

CdDdODDft otttteiry RHA President Jimmy Randolph. RHA has opposed the housing department's guaranteed sophomore housing proposal for the past two years. The proposal was just pres ented for the third time. Under RHA's new proposal, all students would have to participate in the housing lottery, while under the housing department's proposal, sophomores would be exempt. RHA leaders developed the prop osal because they opposed the hous ing department's plan to guarantee layers p J season-ending loss to Duke. At that time, the coaches discussed each team member's current position and future prospects. When Brown returned from a week-long recruiting trip last Thurs day, the players began informing him of their decisions to leave. Starting safety Dan Vooletich and sophomore receiver Freddy Renken were among the dozen players who chose to transfer, graduate or end their football careers. Vooletich led a group of seven potential fifth-year seniors who opted to pass up their final season of eligibility in order to graduate next spring. Brown said the decisions did not reflect poorly on the program. . !

"The only initiatives we have out there are congressional." Reagan has also not been active in developing new programs to combat drug abuse, he said. Others said that the administra tion has attempted to reduce substance abuse but didn't under take that effectively. In order to end drug abuse, the demand for narcotics must be decreased, said Rich Tarplin, staff director of the Senate Subcommittee on Child ren, Family, Drugs, and Alcoholism.

According to the RHA proposal, rising sophomores would participate in the same lottery as other students, but would be guaranteed housing on South Campus, Randolph said. If juniors and seniors do not get a space in the lottery, under the RHA proposal they can choose to remain on a waiting list for that residence not forced out ways; if you are insinuating 12 players are leaving the program, that's not true," Brown said. "When (seven) of them are getting their degrees, I feel very good about it. I talked to each one of them the other day about their experience at Carolina, and by and large they said it was positive." Brown also said the players did not leave because of conflicts with the new coaching staff. "If a young guy feels like he's accomplished what he wanted to accomplish, then he should move on," Brown said. "Dan feels that way. I told him we'd love to have him stay and play, that he would be an asset to our program. He's talked about wanting to coach.

Staff members blamed a cut in Student Congress funding for the 1988-89 school year, and student apathy for the Yack's financial difficulties. "This is the Yackety Yack's 99th year," Dancy said. "It would be tragic for the students to lose their yearbook due to apathy." Last April, the Student Congress Finance Committee allotted the Yack $9,340, less than half than the $19,740 request, Dancy said. This was about a $9,000 cut from the amount allotted for the previous Suirvey shows lack By TOYE ESKRIDGE Special to the DTH From the bathroom vending machine to the neighborhood phar macy, condoms the best protection against AIDS short of abstinence are readily available. But their full disease-stopping potential is being wasted. Seven bars and two restaurants around Chapel Hill sell condoms in their men's and women's restrooms. The prices vary from 75 cents to $1. Not one machine contains the best condom for stopping AIDS. The local pharmacies offer the best product, but not all the pharmacists know what the best product is. Students in an advanced reporting class from UNC's School of Journa lism visited all 45 pharmacies listed in the yellow pages of Chapel Hill and Durham. Posing as customers, the students asked questions on condoms to test the knowledge of the pharmacists. Questions were asked about the difference between latex and animal skin condoms, the benefits of the spermicidal lubricant nonoxynol-9 and the effectiveness of condoms against AIDS and other diseases. Only 19 of the 45 pharmacists knew all the correct answers. Here's what condom users need to know and some pharmacists don't understand: n a hall, instead of being assured housing on South Campus, as sophomores are.

Also leaving the program are Vooletich's brother, Brian, a fullback; tailbacks Brad Smith and Jay Pal misano; defensive backs Victor Bul lock and Bill Franklin; defensive linemen Phillip Cheek and Dave Wolfe; linebackers Chuck Sledge and Steve Lowe; and offensive lineman Richard Applebaum. Of that group, only Bullock, Sledge and Lowe saw significant playing time in UNC's recently concluded 1 10 season, the worst in school history. Brown said last week's events were not unexpected.

In April 1987, The Yack requested $19,340 and was allotted $18,240 by the congress. The production of this year's yearbook will cost $121,840, she said. To make up the difference, the Yack must sell 3,500 copies of the yearbook. The staff sold 3,000 copies of the 1986-87 edition, and 2,000 copies of the 1987-88 edition. The staff has sold only 150 year books for 1988-89 so far, but experts sales to increase in the spring. During the budget process last spring, the Yack requested almost $20,000. But a request of that size is a large part of the congress budget and would quickly drain its funds, said Finance Committee member Brock Dickinson (Dist. 13). Congress felt the cut was justified because of the staffs past failure to n Latex condoms offer more pro tection than animal skin condoms by better blocking the AIDS virus. n A spermicide, used with a latex condom, offers double protection by killing sperm and disease organisms. o The spermicide is nonoxynol-9, the only one approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Animal skin condoms, or natural membrane condoms, have been found in some studies to leak disease spreading organisms through minute pores, while latex condoms have been shown to block passage of the AIDS virus, as well as herpes and gonor rhea, according to the New England Journal of Mecicine. The American Journal of Nursing reports that latex condoms can also prevent the transmission of chlamy dia, genital warts and hepatitis B. And experiments by the national Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirm that latex . condoms offer greater protection against disease than animal skin condoms. The FDA agrees. It regulates all condom varieties and only allows latex condom manufacturers to advertise their product as protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Yet 14 of the 45 pharmacists questioned had no knowledge about the superiority of latex condoms.

In the past, the staff has not done . enough to broaden its audience, Dickinson said. The Yackety Yack, which does not accept advertisements, should do so to be more self-supporting, Riemann said. "It's true that the book may be prettier without advertising, but it might be $ 10 cheaper with it," he said. The Yack should take advantage of its opportunity to advertise because many other campus groups that also need funds are not able to, Riemann said. Dancy said the Yack would only accept advertising as a last resort.

The Yack should not be penalized by the congress for not meeting its deadlines, Dancy said. "Tardiness should have nothing to do with funding," she said. "We're not charged late fees." Although past Yack staffs may have mismanaged funds, the current staff should not be held responsible and denied the requested funds because of it, Dancy said.
