Psychology department administra
tors say they are being optimistic by
cutting only eight fall class sections
now, but more cuts may follow if the
department's teaching budget is cut by
the predicted one-third.
One section of Psychology 10 already
is among the sections that have been cut
from the fall schedule, and several more
could be dropped. Nine sections are
being taught this semester.

Administrators of the Department of
University Housing addressed the con
cerns of frustrated resident assistants at
a forum Thursday night in Ehringhaus
Residence Hall.
About 30 resident assistants, area
directors and assistant area directors
attended the forum. Recent cuts in
compensation, the meal plan contro
versy and communication problems
were discussed.
Al Calarco, associate housing direc
tor, said he had received several sug
gestions from RAs, including forming a
committee to hear RA grievances.
Marxist speaker to

It was a warm , sunny afternoon March
9, 1 966. The sky was a perfect shade of
Carolina blue, but N.C. legislators and
UNC administrators could only see red.
No, N.C. State University students
had not invaded Chapel Hill. Herbert
Aptheker, a 50-year-old Marxist theo
rist, was visiting the UNC campus to
talk about the Vietnam War.
Acting Chancellor Carlyle Sitterson
would not allow Aptheker to speak on
campus because of his leftist views, but
students insisted.
At noon, Student Body President Paul
Dickson led Aptheker through a crowd
of more than 2,000 students who lined

"We're looking at this optimisti

psychology department's administrative
manager.
Department officials are waiting until
they know exactly what their budget
will be before cutting any more classes,
Hildebrandt said.
Gillian Cell, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences, in February gave
department chairmen and chairwomen
estimates of cuts for the fall. The psy

its teaching budget is one-third,

Reggie Hewett, an RA in Teague
Residence Hall, said although he re
spects the housing department, they
often disregard RA input. "Why should
we trust you or that this new committee
will change anything?" he asked.
Calarco said he was distressed that
his position in the department seemed
intimidating.
"It bothers me personally that you
feel that you would not be able to tell me
something that was bothering you about
the RA job," he said. "This is the first
time in seven years that a group of RAs
told me that they don't trust me."
Joe Mosnier, A AD for Carmichael
Residence Hall , questioned the housing
officials' decision to inform RA candi
after being Jbaimed:

morial. The two men climbed onto the
Silent Sam Memorial and Aptheker
addressed the crowd.
Almost immediately, the campus
police chief, Arthur Beaumont, ap
proached Aptheker and threatened to
arrest him if he continued to speak.
Beaumont was following the N.C.
speaker ban or "gag rule" as some people
called it.
At the end of its 1963 legislative
session, the N.C. General Assembly
passed a speakers ban. Communist Party
members and persons who pleaded the
Fifth Amendment when asked about
possible Communist connections were
prohibited from speaking at any state
college or university.

As with most things, one can't generalize
Hildebrandt said.
Hildebrandt said two sections of
Psychology 28 and 50; one section each
of Psychology 10, 24, 33 and 80; and
the only section of Psychology 1 19 al
ready have been cut from the fall
schedule.
If the department's budget is cut the
full one-third expected, 16 additional
sections of psychology classes will have
to be cut, she said.
Psychology 10 and 28 would each
lose four sections. Psychology 24, 33,
50 and 80 would each lose two.

Larry Hicks, housing associate di
rector for business affairs, said a five
year plan implemented last year called
for a rent increase of $100 a year for
RAs.
The attempted cut in the meal plan
for newly hired RAs was proposed as an
alternative to rent increases, but the
overwhelming protest to the meal plan
cut prompted housing officials to reject
that proposal, Hicks said.
Calarco said, "I do not believe that
our department treats RAs unethically.

UNC students, Aptheker and another
banned speaker later filed suit to in
validate the ban. A federal district court
declared the ban unconstitutional in
1968.
Speaking as a Marxist, Aptheker
violated the N.C. speaker ban, but 25
years later Aptheker is ready to return to
UNC.
Don Nonini, assistant professor of
anthropology, said Aptheker would
speak to students and faculty members
this weekend. Aptheker teaches law and

The Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks, the
Triangle's entry into the first interna
tional professional football league, kicks
off its inaugural season in California
Saturday night against the Sacramento
Surge.
The Skyhawks, one of 10 teams
participating in the inaugural year of the
World League of American Football
(WLAF), will feature the first two So
viet players ever to play the game for an
American professional team. A player
fromNorway and another from Australia
will also don the red and green Skyhawks
uniforms.
Roman Gabriel, former AU-Ameri-can
quarterback at N.C. State in the
1960s and a National Football League
quarterback, will coach the 40-man
Skyhawks squad.

The cuts will hurt psychology majors
the most, Hildebrandt said. "We have
seniors who need courses to graduate
and are unable to get them, they fill up
so quickly."
Psychology majors do not receive
top priority for classes through the
Caroline registration system, she said.
The department does drop students
who do not attend the first two days of
classes, Hildebrandt said. Senior psy
chology majors then receive priority for
these spaces.

"One of the problems is that we
haven't gotten to the Final Four in nine
years now," he said. "Thinking back to
1982, there was no celebration when we
got to the Final Four."
Factors such as who UNC would
play, the team's predicted chance of
making the Final Four, and the weather
may determine the size of the crowd,
Jarvies said.
Although this weekend's crowd size
would be hard to judge, it is expected to
be manageable, Jarvies said. "Numbers-

The Skyhawks will play their five
home games in Raleigh at Carter-Finley
Stadium, the 47,000 seat home of N.C.
State's football team. The Barcelona
Dragons will come to Carter-Finley on
April 6 at 8 p.m. for the Skyhawks' first
home contest.
A season ticket for all five Skyhawks'
home games costs $125 per seat for
prime seating, $85 for sideline seating
and $45 for end zone seating. Indi v idual
game tickets cost $25 for prime seating,
$17 for sideline seating and $9 for end

Ken Einhorn, the Skyhawks' public
relations director, said he hoped to draw
30,000 to 35,000 fans for the first home
match-up. "You're always hoping for a
47,000 capacity," Einhorn said.
Gabriel said even though the team
had only worked out together for the
past three weeks, the first game wouldn't
be a sloppy performance.

said only psychology majors and in
dustrial relations majors were required
to take Psychology 10. But cutting
sections of psychology classes affects
more students than just those majors,
she said.
"I kid you not, every other student at
this University uses Psych 10 for their
natural science perspective without a
lab," she said.
Psychology 10 is also a prerequisite
for the upper-level psychology classes

"Certainly nothing to the extent we will
see if they win the semifinals and finals."
When the Heels made the Final Four
in 1982, the celebration was relatively
small, Jarvies said.
"In 1982 ... people got on the side
walk, they yelled and screamed, and
some came through and honked their
horns, and after about 30 minutes it died
out and that was the end of it," Jarvies
said.
But the celebration after UNC won
"We'll start out solid," Gabriel said
after a morning workout last week at
Durham County Stadium. "We do have
available the ability to open up (on

While the Skyhawks drafted players
from all over the country and the world,
football fans should recognize the names
of some local athletes who played col

Duke, N.C. A&T and N.C. Central.

former UNC quarterback Mark
Maye, one of three quarterbacks to
survive the last round of cuts.
Maye said he was excited to get back
into the game after two and one-half
years. The former Tar Heel quarterback
led UNC to the Aloha Bowl in 1 986 and
spent one year in the NFL as a third
string quarterback for the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers.
"I hope I can make the team," Maye
said after icing his shoulder down from
a morning workout last week. "I've
enjoyed working with Coach Gabriel."

Betty Gordon, a Psychology 28 as
sistant professor, said she thought the
cuts would hurt graduate students.
Sections taught by graduate students
will probably be cut first, she said.
"As funding cuts come about, it's
harder and harder to fund graduate
student teaching," Gordon said.
Sherry Hamby, a graduate student in
the department, said she had not heard
much about the cuts. "I do know they're
not going to be able to give upper-level
graduate students as much."
