2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, November 18, 1985 Reagan's arrival In Geneva leak of letter From staff reports The II NC Faculty Council voted Friday to ask the University to divest its holdings in companies and banks doing business with the South African government. Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III said he would present the resolution to the Board of Trustees. The resolution calls on trustees to divest University funds and state employee retirement funds from companies and banks which do "direct and extensive" business with the South African government and thereby support apartheid. It states that "apartheid is fundamentally incompatible with principles of intellectual freedom and human dignity, and is utterly to be condemned." The Board of Trustees of the Endowment Fund rejected Thursday an appeal by Student Government asking the University to divest itself of all holding in companies doing business in South Africa by 1989.

School of Law professor and resolution co-sponsor Daniel H. Pollitt said he opposed the University's current investment policy, based on the Sullivan Principles. "It doesn't work," he said. "It's restricted to employment opportunities, and it doesnt mean much." Under the Sullivan Principles, the University only invests in companies which do not consider race when hiring and employing. Pollitt said that despite the failure of the Student Government proposal Thursday, he thought trustees WfuW to the faculty resolution, passed without any dissent.

"If we adopt this resolution today, the trustees will give it deep consideration," he told faculty members. "When we ally ourselves with the students, we can do together what we could not do alone," he added. According to Pollitt, the fact that some of the funds involved are faculty retirement funds means that faculty members should have a say in where that money is invested. The resolution states that faculty members wish to disassociate themselves from businesses and banks giving direct and important support to the South African government. Other colleges have already accepted this or a similar resolution, Pollitt said.

tempered By From wire reports GENEVA President Reagan's upbeat mood upon bis arrival in Geneva was tempered by the leak of a letter from Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger asking Reagan to avoid commitments with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachov on several arms issues. White House spokesman Larry Speakes said the President was confident of the summit meetings, but angry over the leak of the letter. A senior official aboard Air Force One said he believed the leak to be an attempt to sabotage the arms talks. The President called for a fresh start for U.S. Soviet relations when he stepped off the plane Saturday.

Colombian officials reported that '84 HeUms qainnipangini ouMmied by mairkeitmg execuitiSve Canned food to be collected Helms and they let us have the ballpark." Fetzer said the Helms staff managed to make Hunt appear to "flip-flop" on the issues by putting Hunt in the Helms-for-Senate commercials. They used video tapes of Hunt saying one thing and then tried to show that his record said the opposite, Fetzer said. An example of their tactics is a film of Hunt saying he did not want to propose to raise taxes, with another film clip of him voting for a tax increase at the National Governors' Convention, including newspaper headlines stating Hunt had voted for a tax hike. 44 We put Jim Hunt's own rope around his neck and hung him with it," Fetzer said.

He said the officers of the Helms campaign decided to use footage of Hunt in their commercials when their data showed "the more people saw of Hunt, the more people disliked him," One of Hunt's own campaign ads helped the Helms campaign, Fetzer said. Hunt ran an ad that tried to link Helms with the death squads in El Salvador and its president, Roberto D'Aubisson. But the ad backfired by offending the public with the protrayal of dead bodies supposedly killed by death squads, he said. Fetzer said the ad emphasized Helms' claim that Hunt flip- flopped on issues. By CHARLES FERNANDEZ 1 Staff Writer "Where do you stand, Jim?" That question reflects the strategy of the Jesse Helms campaign Uo make former Governor Jim Hunt appear to "flip flop" on issues, said Tom Fetzer, a former Congressional Club executive.

Fetzer, a vice president for Jefferson Marketing, gave a video presentation to the Students for America Thursday on why Helms won the 1984 senate race. "We had a much more effective ad campaign," Fetzer said. "Hunt couldn't make up his mind on what he wanted to do." Helms' ads put Hunt on the defensive and set the agenda for the rest of the campaign, he said. Two important factors that contributed to the Helms victory was the increase in Republican voter registration and voter turnout, Fetzer said. The Republicans registered 200,000 more voters in 1984 than in 1982 and also had a voter turnout that was 10 percent higher than that of the Democrats.

i 0ericO Nov. 21 I AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY 1 'Although Helms won the race with 1 52 percent of the vote, his chances of getting re-elected looked bleak at the beginning of the campaign, Fetzer said. "We had to tell him (Helms) his chances were slim and none," Fetzer said, referring back to December 1982, when the campaign was getting under way. With Helms trailing Hunt by 22 points in the polls and Democrats owning a three-to-one edge in registered voters in North Carolina, Helms was wondering if he would ever run again, Fetzer said. Fetzer said Helms decided to run because he was the only Republican would could defeat Hunt and because Helms was the leader of the conservative movement in the country.

The Helms camp knew it would be very hard to erode Hunt's large lead, he said. "They (Hunt's campaign staff) started off with a tremendous amount of arrogance and cockiness," Fetzer said. "If they wouldVe gone after Helms earlier they couldVe buried him." The main idea of the Helms campaign ads was to portray Hunt as a "Mondale Liberal," and link him to higher taxes, Fetzer said. "We needed to make Hunt less popular and Helms more popular," he said.

An evaluation of the technical aspects of the merger will be addressed, Porto said. During the study the consultants should, at least, poll residents in both towns at random to see how the people feel, according to Chapel Hill Mayor-elect Jim Wallace. At present, Carrboro and Chapel Hill share some services such as a joint school system.

The police and fire departments for both towns share districts, according to Porto. Both towns cooperate in a joint land use plan, he said. Wallace said the merger would be economical by eliminating the duplication of departments such as the police or fire department. "I think the study would reveal the economic or financial advantage of the merger," Wallace said. The towns differ in their attitudes toward managing growth, Porto said.

In the recent Chapel Hill election of town council members, the main concern was over controlling or limiting growth in the town. "We (Carrboro) think that we're managing growth," Porto said. Developers who wish to build in Carrboro must follow strict guidelines, according to Porto. "If they come into our community, they have to be an improvement to our community," he said.

"Today, Carrboro has seen the negative affects of a large amount of growth," he said. According to Porto, Carrboro has one of the best land use plans in the country.

The plan has been published recently by the American Planning Association as a model for other communities, he said. Porto said he saw the study as a way of "uncovering facts about where we're similiar and where we're different. "I think it would be interesting to do a comparison. in fact, encourage the comparison," Porto said. Once the study is completed, Porto said he hoped that neither the consultants nor the citizens group would make a stand in favor of or oppose to the merger.

For the next two weeks, the press attacked the incumbant senator. "It threw the camp off stride and we decided to run June like October," Fetzer said, adding that over $3 million was spend on advertisements during that month. "We decided to pour on the coals." From June until election day, the Helms camp tried to relate Hunt as a "Mondale liberal" who supported higher taxes. "We had to get the tax issue at the idea level where it would hit people in the gut," Fetzer said. Funds raised to By KENNETH HARRIS Staff Writer Although enough money has been raised to begin a study on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro merger, Carrboro Mayor Jim Porto said he considered the merger one of many options open to Carrboro in the future.

At present, $10,274 has been raised for the study through the help of private donations. Officials estimated that $15,000 would be needed to fund the study. An additional $2,000 has been pledged, but has not been collected. According to officials, three payments of $5,000 would be made to consultants. The first payment will be made when the contract is signed, the second while the study is being conducted and the final payment when the study is completed.

Porto said he expected an eight-member citizens committee, which would choose the. consultants for the study, to be formed within the next week.
