Cable TV may be installed in resi
dence halls if students agree to pay for
it through an on-campus housing rent
increase. Residence Hall Association
President Liz Jackson said Wednes
day. Jackson said students should be able
to vote on the cable service, possibly in
a referendum in the Feb. 20 general
elections. "I want the decision to be
made by the students."
The housing department received one
cable bid that would cost each student
living in a residence hall $20 to $30 per
semester, Jackson said. This price w ould
not include premium channels such as
movie channels, which could be or
dered by individual students, she said.
The increase would come on top of
an already planned 12 percent to 14
percent rent increase to pay for utilities
costs.

Student Congress voted Wednesday
to include two potential fee-increasing
referendums on the Feb. 20 election
ballot, while voting down one proposed
referendum that would have raised fees
and one that was non-binding.
One of the referendums that will
appear on the ballot asks for student
Effects of

Assistant University Editor
UNC's academic departments
have been coping with last month's
$2.8 million budget cut, but Univer
sity officials said Wednesday that
they will not be able to assess fully
the final effects of the cut until early
next week.
"It will take time to determine the
situation," said Ben Tuchi, vice chan
cellor for business and finance.
"We're gathering the data now."
Tuchi and Provost Dennis
O'Connor declined to speculate on
the overall effect of the cut until all

the service would probably take at least
a year.
Norman Vogel, former director of
the Office of Data and Video Commu
nications, said installation would in
volve expanding the existing system of
lines into residence halls. Pipes could
be sunk from manholes w here lines are
clustered, but the installation would
still be large job, he said.
"By the time it was designed, and
bids put out and installed, it (cable
service) would take at least a year. If the
money's available, we will certainly be
able to provide the service."
Housing Director Wayne Kuncl and
RHA area governors will discuss the
future of on-campus cable today. "We
know at some point we'll bring in cable
for residence halls it's just a ques
tion of when and how much it will
cost," Kuncl said.
Kuncl said he had asked RHA to
gauge student opinion. "Knowing what
our cost increases will be, I'm trying to

semester to pay for a Student Body
Scholarship Fund. The other will ask
for a 35-cent per semester increase to
pay for safety escorts from midnight to
3 a.m., hours when the libraries are still
open but SAFE Escort is not.

erendum passed 16-5 over objections
to raising student fees. Fifty cents per

the information has been gathered.
"When that data is compiled, we'll
know where we stand going into the
fourth quarter (of the fiscal year),"Tuchi
said.
The cut affected UNC's third quar
ter, which began in January and runs
through the end of March, when the
fourth quarter begins, Tuchi said. Uni
versity officials will not know if there
will be further cuts in the fourth quarter
until it begins, he said.
UNC's departments have thus far
dealt with the cut in various ways. Most
departments have limited the use of

find out if there is a big enough support
base among students. The only people
paying the bills are the students in the
residence halls, so I'm trying to be a
good steward of the students' money."
Jackson said cable would give a boost
to on-campus life, which she said has
become less attractive because of lack
of parking and continued rent increases.
A rent increase for cable would be
perceived differently than a rent in
crease for utilities, she said. "I think
people will pay extra money because
they can see a tangible result."
The specifications for the cable
company bids require that the chosen
company install conduits with enough
room to accommodate cables for video,
data and telephone lines, Jackson said.
Kuncl said it would be cheaper to put
in all three lines at the same time than to
install them separately. The data cable

finally knows what it's like to leave
Chapel Hill with a win, and he has his
entire team to thank for it.
Valvano's Wolfpack brought him
his first win in 10 appearances on The
Hill with an 88-77 triumph Wednesday
night before 21,572 shellshocked wit
nesses at the Smith Center.
"If you come here enough times,"
Valvano said after the game, "you're
bound to win one."
With the victory. State upped its
record to 16-6, 5-3 in ACC competi
tion. The Tar Heels' second consecu
tive ACC loss dropped them to 1 6-8, 5
3 in conference play.
"We were certainly beaten by a bet
ter team tonight," said UNC head coach
Dean Smith. "We could't get things
going, and a lot of that has to do with
their quickness."
Valvano brought an eight-man rota
tion into the game and it's a good thing
he couldn't have won with only
seven.
As usual, the Pack was led by sharp
shooting guard Rodney Monroe and
pesky point guard Chris Corchiani.
Monroe tallied a game-high 24 points;
Corchiani sparked a tough State de
fense while dishing out a game-high
nine assists.
But on this night, the two guys in
State's highly touted "Fire and Ice"
backcourt needed plenty of help.
And they got it.
Surprise starter Mickey Hinnant, a
6-foot-6 senior swingman, pitched in
with 14 points and five rebounds; sen
ior forward Brian Howard scored 14
points and grabbed six boards; sopho
more center Tom Gugliotta threw in his
13 points and five boards.
But the Wolfpack may have gotten
its biggest lift from forward Kevin
Thompson, who scored a workmanlike
10 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the
field; the 6-9 freshman added a game

Beall added that fees are becoming
so high as to prohibit students from
attending UNC. Other congress mem
bers maintained that an additional 50
cents would not stop anyone from at
tending UNC, while the scholarship
fund would help many students attend.

The number of freshman athletes
admitted to UNC-CH as exceptions to
the school's minimum admissions stan
dards is up this year, according to the
Intercollegiate Athletics Reports re
leased by UNC-system officials Tues
day. The number of freshman athletes
admitted this year as exceptions for the
football and men's basketball teams
was up by six to 1 5 from last year's total
of nine.
Thirteen of 23 freshman football
players and two of six freshman men's
basketball players receiving full ath
letic grants were admitted as excep
tions in the fall of 1989. Both freshmen
receiving full grants to play women's
basketball were admitted as exceptions
this fall as well. Of the 58 remaining
athletes receiving full or partial athletic
grants in 1989, eight were exceptions.
Students must meet certain basic
academic requirements to be consid
ered for admission to UNC-CH. The
Board of Trustees of UNC-CH stated in
a 1986 resolution:
"Minimum requirements for admis
sion and enrollment shall be (a) a total
score of 800 on the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT) of The College Entrance
Examination Board with scores of at
least 350 on each of the verbal and
quantitative sections thereof and (b) a
Predicted Grade Average of 1.6; pro
vided however that applicants who do
not satisfy these two criteria may, for
sufficient reason, be admitted with the
approval of the Advisory Committee
on Undergraduate Admissions in each
individual case."
UNC-CH has a tougher admissions
standard than the minimum require
ments set forth by the NCAA in Propo
sition 48, whose guidelines require
freshman student-athletes to score at

None of UNC's "exception" athletes
failed to meet Proposition 48 guide
lines. Anthony Strickland, associate direc
tor of admissions, justified admissions
exceptions saying, "There are good
reasons for admitting someone with an
800 over someone with a 1400. We
hate to see a standardized test used as
the only criteria (for admission)."
He said he supported faculty reforms
regarding athlete admissions. "One of
the great advantages of our system is
that it has provided for faculty control
and has kept us from the embarrass
ment suffered by other programs."
Athletes are not the only students
admitted to UNC as exceptions. Of
3,194 freshmen entering Carolina in
the fall of 1989, 94 were admitted as
exceptions. There were 137 recruited

student-athletes, 25 were admitted as

students admitted as exceptions were

UNC head basketball coach Dean
Smith said he thought this point was
important. "The nice thing about the
University is that the athletes are a
small percentage of the total number of
exceptions. That's a credit to the Uni
versity." UNC is a leader in bringing in stu
dents who can enhance the University
environment. Smith said. He stressed
that there were several criteria impor

admissions process.
