The approval of Karen
Davis as Pine Needles editor
and her swearing in to the
■ew position, following
resignation of her Senate seat,
climaxed Tuesday night's
eight-hour marathon Student
Senate meeting. The bulk of
the evening's debate centered
around eight budgets
recommended by
Appropriations Committee,
focusing on salaries, wages,
SGA travel expenses, and the
Student Government's
$10,050.00 Projects fund.
After a vote of 29-2-1 vote
in favor of her yearbook
appointment, Miss Davis
explained that the Committee
on Classifications had denied
her appeal to hold both the
editorial and Senate
positions, and that fighting
their decision through the
appeals procedure would
"damage the book if we wait
that long." SGA President
Chris Jones then swore her in
before the Senate body.
Salaries for Dorm
Co-Ordinators was the most
extensively debated budget
item of the evening as Doug
Harris, Town Student
Senator, moved to relate the
issue back to the respective
dormitories for a
residence-by-re siden re

Senate on each DCs salary.

debate that the offices, not

UNC-G has an FM station
this fall. WUAG, with an
effective broadcast range of
20 miles, about 19 miles
more than the range of the
old. defunct station.
WEHL-AM. With this
increased power output, new
staff, and better organization,
the student-operated station
hopes to produce broadcast
material of a much higher
quality than before.
The idea of an FM station
run by UNC-G students, with
the broadcast power to cut
through the static that has
plagued WEHL in the past,
has long been in the wind.
The impetus to initiate the
AM to FM switchover was
provided by station manager
Gary Kofinas. Last spring
negotiations with the SGA
for the necessary funds were
successful, and the former
station's core staff worked
Misunderstood
through the summer making
the conversion.
But, according to Kofinas,
nothing could have been
accomplished without the
help of Bill Young, station
manager for the Greensboro
branch of WUNC-TV. UNC-G
has an FM station once,
classically-oriented, and not
student-run. It had not been
in operation for some time,
and when Young heard of
WEHL's effort to convert to
FM he offered to turn the old
FM facilities over to the
students.
Much of the needed
renovation and conversion
has been executed by the
staff themselves. The station's
first broadcast was delayed,
though, by difficulties with
studio rewiring and
equipment rebuilding.
According to Kofinas the
new station has been worth
all the trouble.
in the evening, progressive
rock and jazz interspersed
with classical music.
Special programs planned
by the station include student
talk shows, lectures by
visiting speakers, music by
students, poetry readings and
cvoerage of athletic events.
Kofinas stated, "We are
trying to ... make the
station an intersting half-way
point between education and
entertainment."
Stressing that student
interst and suggestions for
WUAG are welcome, he said,
"We're always open to new
ideas and experimentation."
Specifically, Kofinas
mentioned that he was
interested in knowing how
students would react
paying a small amount to
convert WUAG, facilities for
stereo broadcasting.
In conclusion, he said,
"We hope to continue to
expand in new and different
directions of broadcasting as
far as music and
entertainment are
concerned."
(Note: WUAG, the student
radio station has .been off the
air recently due to problems
with the FCC. Airing will be
resumed, "Maybe tonight,"
according to Gary Kolfinas,
station manager, depending if
the difficulties are taken care
of. He also said that when
broadcasting begins "it will
be on a limited basis from 4
p.m. to 1 am.)

parks new policy") appears to
have been misunderstood by
several people on campus.
This article is being written in
hopes of clarifying the
previous article.
"Vehicles creating a traffic
hazard are first priority to
being towed." said Director
of Security Jim Blevens. Thi:
includes any veljicles blocking
service drives, double parked,
incorrectly parked, etc. These
vehicles may be towed
without warning.
"There are some areas on
campus that are pressed for
space ."'Mr. Blevins cited the
"A" parking area around the
Health Center as an example.
These spaces must be left free
for doctors and nurses to use
while at work in the Health
Center. Emergency parking
spaces must by kept vacant.
Towing will be done in such
areas needing parking space
on a second priority basis.
Vehicles that are
unregistered or parked in the
wrong area or that class of
permit (except as indicated in
the second priority) are
considered third priority.
Campus police officers carry
a list of the number of tickets
a vehicle has received.
Vehicles receiving three or
more tickets may be towed
away at the owner's expense.
"We have new equipment,
new albums, and a generally
better format in all areas of

year."

Coraddi wins
literary award
CORADDI. UNC-G's
literary magazine, has been
announced a winner in last
year's Coordinating Council
of Literary Magazine's
contest.
The 1972-3 magazine,
edited by Elizabeth Lustig,
was a third-prize winner. Over
150 magazines were entered
in the contest, from
universities throughout the
country. All three issues of
last year's magazine were
entered into the competition,
and over half the work
published had to be by
undergraduates to be eligible.
Coraddi was judged on
tormat. content, variety, and
general adherence to proper
and imaginative form The
award carried a $100/30 prize
with it.
There is a new facet to the
University Judicial System It
is "Harris and Moore:
Defense Alternatives." This
organization created by Greg
Harris and E. Kevin Moore, is
designed to provide an
alternative to the defense
system in Honor Court.
In the past when an
accused student turned
himself in for an offense, he
is assigned a defense
counselor from judicial
defense staff.
Under the new plan, the
student is informed of the
new organization and is then
given the choice between the
assigned defense counselor,
or having Harris and Moore
handle the case.
Defense Alternatives will
offer a more in-depth defense
than ever before according to
Moore. For example, the case
brief will extend beyond guilt
and innocence. In the case of
a guilty plea the "degree of
guilt" will be examined, an
area neglected in the past.
Moore pointed out.
It was further pointed out
that both Harris and Moore
have at least one year
experience each on Honor
Court Staff.
Harris and Moore will not
solicit cases for court. If a
student wishes to be'
represented by the
organization, he must request
their services and then
contact the organization.
Students may contact
Defense Alternatives by
calling 379-5616 (SGA) and*
ask for Kevin Moore or leave
message. The student will be
contacted within 12 hours of
the message. This service is
available for free.
Harris and Moore
expressed their hope that
their organization will not be
viewed as a couple of
students playing "Perry
Mason." "Rather it is an
honest attempt to give an
accused student a bit more
control over his hearing,"
states Moore. Senator Doug Harris Staff Photo by Paul Braxton

Of all the places where
professors can spend their
leaves of absence, Hawaii is
perhaps one of the least
expected. Yet. Dr. Sunnan
Kubose was a visiting
assistant professor at the
University of Hawaii last fall
semester. "I just had a good
time." he commented.
Dr. Kubose taught two
courses at the University, one
in child development and one
in adolescent development.
He observed in use the Keller
Teaching Method for
introductory psychology
courses, which he is now
employing at UNC-G. The
method allows the student to
work through a Unit Mastery
System at his own rate. "It
seems to be working out
pretty well," he said.
During his stay in Hawaii,
Dr. Kubose also read and did
. research in the field of Asian
psychology, and viewed "a
lot of material in films not
available other places."
By living there, Dr.
Kubose was able to make
many observations on Hawaii
in comparison to the
mainland - some negative,
but most positive. "From
what I can tell," he began,
"the tourist trade is booming
to the detriment of the place.
It's crowded - traffic jams
are pretty bad. Food prices
are high; everything is high
because they have to be
shipped in. You especially
have a susceptibility to dock
impossible for someone with
a middle-income. In two
years the median home price
has jumped from $40,000 to
$60,000. It's about double
from here to there."
Land is so scarce and
expensive now in Hawaii that,
according to Dr. Kubose, lava
land - useless, barren, lava
deposits - is having a heyday.
People buy it only to sell at a
profit to someone else, and so
the prices keep rapidly rising.
Dr. Kubose made more
positive observations
concerning Hawaii than
negative ones: "I really had a
good time there," he
continued. 'There are still
some fantastic beaches. The
UNC-G's psychology
professor was able to view
exotic tropical fish in their
native habitat when he went
snorkeling and scuba diving
over coral reefs, glimpsing the
fish flashing here and there,
chasing each other amid the
colorful coral.
Dress in Hawaii is casual,
Dr. Kubose found, with
people attired as they
"wouldn't dare" here.
"Everybody wears those big
loud shirts. No one wears
shoes, and you don't see a tie
anyplace."
On his leave in Hawaii, Dr.
An aspect of Hawaii that Kubose was able to discover
Dr. Kubose particularly
enjoyed was the "fantastic
variety" of food from "all
different cultures -
Hawaiian, Samoan,
Japanese," etc. He feasted
upon such Hawaiian staples
and delicacies as poi, tara,
lau-lau (spinach with "pork
and stuff in 'he middle"),
pokiaku (raw fish.usually
first-hand the lifestyle,
culture, and immediate sense
of the history that the
Hawaiian people have. He
watched and absorbed a lot
of the other cultural
activities, among them -
"hula festivals and aloha
parades which have to do
with Hawaiian history."
