A new election for Student
Govenment President was debated
and discussed at the Senate Meeting
Tuesday night in Alexander Room.
The motion to have a run-off
election was presented by Gregg
Greer and passed 16-3.
The following, also made by Greer,
was' for the new election to take
place April 12 and 13 between 9:00
am and 7:00 pm. Campaigning
would start Tuesday night, April 4,
and end April 13. This motion
■oaate Osborne
passed unanimously 19-0.
The reason for the new election
was "because nobody had 50it plus
I,"stated Bonnie Osborne, Election
Board Chairperson, "'it's a matter
of simple plurality, as stated in the
Handbook.
In the first count the vote was
Wilkerson-698 and Lambert-695.
On recount with all the ballots coun-ted
the vote was Wilkerson-699 and
Lambert-698. There were 27
questionable ballots in all.
Among these 27, one ballot was
tampered with because it was the
first to be found. The holes were
clearly punched one space before
the candidates' names, so it was the
decision of Debra Turner and Bon-nie
Osborne to make a new ballot
from the old one, supplying the
holes where they were first intended.
As a result of purported mishan-dling
of the election Osborne was
asked to resign her position at the
meeting. The motion was made by
Ken Crumley. However, it was not
seconded by anyone and so died
out.
When asked how she felt about
Crumley's motion, Osborne replied,
I think it was evident that no one
agreed with him since it was not
seconded." On the same matter.
Debra Turner said, "Ken Crumley,
as a senator has every right to ask
for her (Osborne's) resignation. But
I question if he had enough eviden-ce."
As to the problem of valid ballots
in the upcoming re-election, the
voting will be done on paper ballots
as was done in past elections.
Clearly written on the ballots will be
instructions, to minimize errors. If a
ballot is not marked correctly, it will
be thrown out.
Bike Thieves
Apprehended
BY ANDREW LING
Associate News Editor
With Spring budding all around
us the actions of many UNC-G
students are directed outside
towards recreation under the
tanning Carolina sun.
The warm season also ushers in
an old and recurrent or bicycle
thieves. Two such culprits were
apprehended on the UNC-G campus
on Thursday, March 30, by campus
security.
The pair, Steven Miller, age 19 of
Vann Street, and an unidentified IS
year old juvenile were turned over to
Greensboro police and were
arrained in Superior Court after
their arrests by Officers Whitman
said Walington. The two were
approached by Officer Whitman as
he made a routine fool patrol
around Gray Drive, and sighted the
pair pur ng bicycles away from
Moore-Strong dormitory. at
1:13am. When asked their names
the two identified themselves as
dorm students and proceeded to
point to the all female highrise
Grogan. as their place of
residency—much to the chagrin of
the arresting officers.
After a late evening page turned
up the one of the unknowing victims
in Moore Hall, campus security was
able to allow the Greensboro Police
Department to serve warrants on the
two.
Although Jerry Williamson.
Director of Campus Security
realizes that "we will never reach a
time when someone will not lose a
bike." he has instituted preventive
measures that have already reaped
some noteworthy results. Including,
a fall 1977 arrest of four juveniles
and an adult that were running a
stolen bike ring, and an arrest
earlier this semester, also by
Whitman, of an NC AJkT male after
he tried to remove a bicycle from
outside Cotton Dorm. The director
cited "foot-patrots" as being
responsible for a reduction of
"larcenies so far this spring." aad
encourage students to register not
only i heir bikes bat all their
valuables with campus security, a*
well. An engraver is available on
Government. Admission for the
concert is undecided as of now, but
"we're hoping it will be free," ad-ded
Pilley.
Other activities planned for
Friday night will be a lecture given
by Roger Mudd in Elliott Hall and a
raffle. Raffle tickets will be given
out Friday and prizes can be picked
up Saturday in the quad.
Saturday morning at ap-proximately
11:00 am, the Rugby
game with Appalachian will begin.
In the meantime, the crew will be
setting up the carnival that will run
between mid morning and late af-ternoon.
.The mime troop will
be performingall day in the quad and
WUAG will provide music. Strohs
Beer Co. will sponsor games in
which the dorms compete and give
away Strohs T-shirts. The Spring
Fling committee will also sponsor T-shirts
to be sold in the quad,
Frisbees, balloons, and other
goodies.

Dept Says
No to Kent
State Shrine
(CPS)—An Interior Department
consulting committee recently voted
not to recommend the site where
four students were killed at Kent
State University in 1970 as a
national historic landmark.
On May 4, 1970, student demon-strators
faced Ohio National Guar-ds.
The Guards opened fire on the
students killing four. Last year
students converged on the site
again, this time protesting the
building of a gym where the four
were killed.
The principle reason for not
recommending landmark status was
the Interior Departments rule
prohibiting consideration of any
even taking place within the past 50
years, according to Dr. James
Howland, chairperson of the Con-sulting
Committee to the National
Survey of Historic Sites and
Buildings.
According to the committee it is
too early to determine the event's
significance in American history.
The committee also recommen-ded
the National Parks Advisory
Board consider making known to
the University that no undertakings
be initiated that would further im-pair
the May 4 site.
The committee's recommen-dation
will be reviewed by the
Historic Areas Committee, which
will forward its recommendation to
the Interior Department Advisory
Board scheduled to meetin inApril.
Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus
will then make the final decision
concerning landmark status.
Dr. Robert McCoy, presidential
assistant said there should be no
problems for Kent State University
in keeping with the recommendation
that no further changes be made on
the site. The landmark area does not
include the Memorial Gym annex.
"I think there seems to be a desire
for conflict among some students
concerning the preservation of the
site. There is none" McCoy said ad-ding
the university acknowledges
the national significance of the
event.

US Senate Hopefuls
Gather At UNC-G
BY RICH INNES
Democratic contenders for the
United States Senate, or their
representatives will participate in a
forum on the UNC-G campus on
Friday, April 7th at 7 pm at the nur-sing
building auditorium.
Candidates MacNiel Smith, Joe
Felmet and Dave McKnight have
agreed to attend the forum in per-son.
Representatives for candidates
Luther Hodges, Lawrence Davis
and John Ingram also will attend.
Reffering to the fact that only one
of the major candidates, Mac
Smith, is attending the forum in
person, Dr. David Olson of the
political Science Department and
coordinator of the event, said,
"We'll swing with whatwe've got".
The event , sponsored by the
political science department of UN
C-G, was scheduled to coincide with
the annual meeting of the North
Carolina Political Science
Association.
According to Olson, each can-didate
will be able to briefly state his
platform in a five minute opening
statement. Then people in the
audience will be able to ask
questions of the candidates. Olson ,
who had recently spoken with
Hodges, said the candidate stated it
would "not be worth his campaign
time to appear in a forum with other
candidates". Hodges is currently
the front runner in the crowded
democratic race to fact Jesse Helms
in the up-coming senatorial election
Ingram will be represented by
his campaign manager, Charlie
Webb. Hodges issending the chair-man
of his issues committee. Dr.

Group to Protest
Nuclear Weapons
(CPS)—A national demon-stration
April 29-30 will call for the
close of Rocky Flats Nuclear
Weapons Facility, 16 miles north-west
of Denver and nine miles douth
of Boulder. The nonviolent action
plans were announced in Denver by
Daniel Ellsberg on March 13.
Ellsburg, former defense analyst
and a spokesman for Mobilization
for Survival, says he will participate
in activities "not with a sense of
desperation, but with a sense of
hope."
Rocky Flats produces atomic ex-plosive
components for all U.S.
nuclear weapons—three to ten
Plutonium bomb "triggers"
daily—and is a key research and
production site for the proposed
neutron bomb.
"Plutonium is the most car-cinogenic
substance known." stated
Dr. Helen Caldicott, a pediatrician
at Boston Children's Hospital aad
expert on effects of atomic
radiation . "Less than one-millionth
of a gram can cause cancer. The in-cidence
of cancer in Denver is cer-tainly
going to rise."
ENsburg said the neutron bomb is
particularly invidious because "It
tortures people to death, li doesn't
kill thean right away, but does st
Because the neutron bomb would
cause relatively little damage to
buildings, "It would be a fine
weapon for a country to use against
its own people," says Ellsberg.
"Eventually, it would be a very
good weapon for South Africa."
Citing a recent book by former
Nixon aide H.R. Haldeman,
Ellsberg said the Nixon ad-ministration
would not have
hesitated to use a neutron bomb to
win the war in Vietnam, had it been
accessabk.
More than 1,000 people are ex-pected
to attend the demonstration,
which will coincide with the opeing
of the United Nations General
Assembly deliberations on inter-natioal
disarmament. Demon-strators
Will call fornationabnittative
toward global nuclear disarmament,
a shift in national priorities toward
the meeting of human needs and a
commitment to the development of
alternative energy sources and a
nuclear-free future.
Rocky Flats hrrasar a focus after
the local American Friends Service
Committee drafted a proposal for a
national demonstration, cstkag the
critical role of the plant la the U.S.
weapons production. When
MoNHaatioa for Survival held as
national conference hut September
in Chicago, the Colorado proposal
was accepted.
Since 1933 over 200 fires have oc-curred
at the plant, owned by the
U.S. Department of Energy and
managed by Rockwell Inter-national.
Plutonium and other
readioactive materials have con-taminated
nearly 11.000 acres of
nearby land, as well as a major
public water supply. At least 381
employees have been contaminated
by accidents within the plant.
Studies by local health com-miasioners
indicate a higher than
normal incidence of cancer in the
area. Balloon releases at Rocky
Flats have shown that a major ac-cident
could result in the spread of
lethal radioactivity to the Den-ver/
Boulder area and to com-munities
as far away as Kansas.
Missouri. Illinois and Indiana.
The demonstration is sponsored
by the Rocky Flats Action Group, a
