Alumni Contribute In '83 Phonothon Pledges totaling $109,119 were made to UNC-G during the 1983 National Alumni Phonothon, and the students from 18 campus organizations manned the telephones to help solicit a whopp-ing 61 percent of that total. The phonothon netted $109,119.87 in 4,169 pledges. Stu-dent groups had a total of $66,008.23 in pledges during the an-nual telephone event, which took place Jan. 31 to March 3 as part of the University's Annual Giving Program. "Student participation was at an all-time high this year," said Gaye M. Barbour, coordinator of annual giving at UNC-G, who directed the project. "The students were definitely a vital element in helping to make this the most successful phonothon ever. "I was extremely pleased with the student participation. The groups took this on as a service project and did a wonderful job. We had a number of new student groups who came out to help with the phones in addition to several who had helped in the put. It wouldn't have been the success it was without them." This year's $109,119.87 pledge total is the highest ever for the phonothon. The 1982 phonothon had 4.342 pledges totaling Grant Scandal $101,291, and in 1981, the event netted $101,603 with 4,606 pledges. In addition to the $66,008.23 rais-ed in pledges by UNC-G student groups this year, the $109,119.87 total included $30,487.96 raised by UNC-G alumni, faculty and staff (28 percent), and corporate matching gift* totaling $12,623.68 (11 per-cent) completed the figure. A total of 8,230 telephone calls were made. In line for special awards are studenU from Residential College and members of Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity. Residential Col-lege students' efforts accounted for $18,309.88 in pledges, the top figure raised by the student group. APO members gathered pledges totaling $14,562.70, finishing in second. Both groups will be recognized at the March 22 party to celebrate the completion of the 1983 phonothon. Residential College students will receive a $200 award and APO members will receive an award of $100. Ms. Barbour also noted that Denise Pigg. a student from Aber-deen who lives in Residential Col-lege, worked 18 of the 20 nights during which the phonothon was conducted. "She was very dedicated and did a wonderful job," said Ms. Barbour. Other student organization totals on pledges received during the phonothon were as follows: 'Delta Sigma Theta. $13,306.36. •Golden Chain, $6,726.83. •Alpha Delta Pi, $2,149.42. *Pi Kappa Alpha, $1,968.76. •Reynolds and Alumni Scholars, $1,871.76. •Phi Mu Alpha music society, $1,291.92. •Alpha Kappa Alpha, $1,095.92. •Lambda Chi Alpha, $876.00.

Pkolo fry litformatvM Servvm •Men's Glee Club, $50.00. •Kim ("The Student"), $270.00. Dolt Matthews Lowe, Class of 1943, of Greensboro participated in all 20 nights of the phonothon and secured over $22,000 in pledges. Over the past five years, she had ac-counted for over $82,000 in pledges. Her husband, John R. Lowe, serv-ed as the phonothon's official "ac-countant" again this year. Psychology Professor Resigns Post Last week Arnold Rincover, a UNC-G psychology professor whose work with autistic children earned him national recognition, resigned from his position. Rincover was accused of misusing students' federal grants. He sup-posedly received an average of $350 weekly for students that worked for him while they kept about $50 from their salary. The money was then placed in separate accounts and was used by Rincover and his students for parties, conventions, and dinner meetings. Lamar Dowda, Guilford County District Attorney, believes that about five students were involved in the operation. Al Godwin, an in-vestigator with the office of Educa-tion's Inspector General Division in Atlanta, says that the investigation has not yet uncovered all of the facts. Godwin plans to continue in-vestigating for several weeks. If he discovers that there has been a crime committed he will turn the case over to the U.S. Justice Department for possible prosecution. Dowda suggests that the case has not been prosecuted for two reasons. One reason is that UNC-G's reputation could be badly damaged. "My concern was that UNC-G interests be protected. The university wants to be regarded as a reliable trustee of funds," Dowda explained. The other reason is that there is almost no evidence. The lit-tle evidence they do have is very weak. The money spent on trips and parties with professors and resear-chers could have been merely to for-ward Rincover and his students research. However, Rincover will have to pay $11,000 in restitution to UNC-G. This amount was decided by the State Bureau of Investigation. The SBI determined that mainly during 1979, some $10,000 to $15,000 had been used for reasons other than those approved by the federal government. Arnold Rincover, in his seven year stay at UNC-G has proven that his expert knowledge of autistic children and has also brought UNC-G national recognition. In the past four years he has received $2.6 million in research grants. He co-authored a book about autistic children and their problems. In 1980 he founded a professional jour-nal on "developmental disabilities in children". His concern for autistic children is shown by his willingness to search for ways to teach and communicate with autistic children, something few researchers have done. * Fred L. Drake, UNC-G vice chancellor for business affairs, says that Rincover was so respected by others in his field that many of his students received positions at universities all over the country. Rincover claims that he "did not personally profit in any way, shape, or form" from the students' money. Investigation into the misuse of funds began last summer when unidentified university officials ask-ed the SBI to investigate because of suspicions of a former student. Rin-cover also asked for UNC-G officials to investigate after the accusations were made. The victims of this misuse of funds are of course autistic children who could have been helped by Rin-cover's research. Autistic children are identified by their extreme withdrawal from reality and absorp-tion in themselves which makes learning difficult. Drake was forc-ed to turn down an offer from the University of Pittsburgh to par-ticipate in research of autistic children because there is no one here who has Rincover's knowledge or concern for these children. Station Retrieves Albums By DAVID ALEXANDER SuffWrlUr What started out as a mild return of some missing albums at the campus radio station has now blossomed into the return of more albums than were believed missing. According to Neil Mat-son, General Manager of WUAG-FM. there were 289 albums recovered from the incident. "When the action first happened in November, we approximated the theft to be about 160 albums, but we were happy to get back the ones we didn'tcatch." Neil Mataon went on to say that, because of the theft, the station had a hard time filling callers' requests. The albums taken were the major ar-tists major releases such as the Pretenders, Pink Floyd, U2, Police and lots of others. As first reported, the Campus Security recovered 80 albums from the break-in. But as the week progressed, Mr. Hunter revealed where the other albums were. Lt Horton, in charge of the case, ex-plained the charge. "Mr. Hunter was charged with Felonious Possession of Stolen Property for the simple fact that whoever stole the albums had ac-cess to the building. Therefore, we can't charge him with Felonious Breaking and Entering." Lt. Hor-ton went on to say that the trial was given a continuance until March 25. Meanwhile, WUAG is taking better care of the albums and the station in general. Matson stated that, while still in Elliott Univer-sity Center, they will change some policies at the station. "We are now taking new security measures at the station such as limiting the names on the key list. Also, if these things keep happening, we will be very strict with who is allowed at the station." WUAG is now has possession of all albums that Campus Security recovered, with the exception of two that will be used as evidence in the trial. Economy Symposium Views Reaganomics Ugh! Photo fry Tornm* Wkotmt StudenU lag their bags back to the dorms after returning from Spring Break last week. By DANA HATCHER SUJY Wriur On March 3 in Aycock Auditorium, three of the nation's leading economists examined the state of our economy. The occasion was the Kathleen Price Bryan Lec-ture: A symposium on Economic Policy. The lecture was part of a series funded by Mrs. Joseph McKinley Bryan of Greensboro, which is aimed at informing the public about consumer and financial economics. The symposium, entitled "Direc-tions for the Future: Prospects for America's Economy," examined three informed views of national economic problems and policies.Debating were Dr. Paul W. Mccracken, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors dur-ing the Nixon administration; Dr. Joseph A. Pechman, senior economist with the Brookings In-stitution in Washington, D.C.; and Dr. Murray L. Weidenbaum, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Reagan. UNC-G Chancellor William E. Moran welcomed and introduc-ed the speakers. Following opening remarks by Dr. McCracken, Dr. Pechman began his critical essay of Presidents Reagan's economic policy. "We've had two years of reces-sion . . . largely as a result of the misguided efforts of the Reagan ad-ministration," said Dr. Pechman. Pechman continued by citing that the Reagan administration's policy of lower taxes and increased military spending to balance the economy has failed to result in mov-ing toward a balanced national budget. Dr. Pechman also said if new economic steps are not taken he felt there would be a great recession within the next five years as a result not of deficit growth, but rather due to increased monetary growth. Two years ago, Pechman said, the Reagan administration sought to cut taxes by 23%. Now, the ad-ministration is reversing its original plan by increasing taxes.

A study skills course designed to teach basic study habits and exam taking skills is offered in the Psychology Department. Students will have the opportunity to learn strategies which may help them improve concentration, memory, reading and reading comprehen-sion, writing term papers, etc. At the same time they will be able to learn ways to increase their vocabulary in a systenlatic fashion. This course is part of a research program on the enhancement of study skills and vocabulary. Par-ticipants will attend two group ses-sions and review twelve self-directed study modules which re-quire approximately 30-45 minutes each. Within broadly defined limits, students can arrange their own time schedule and study the modules at their own pace. As protection against misuse, a $10.00 deposit is required upon enrollment. This deposit will be refunded at the end of the research program. Participants may withdraw without penalty at any moment. Interested students who would like to participate or receive more A special reception for high school seniors from Guilford, Alamance, Rockingham, Randolph and David-son counties who have been admit-ted to UNC-G for fall semester will be held on campus on Monday, March 21. The incoming students, along with their parenta, guidance counselors, will be able to meet with UNC-G faculty, officials and alum-ni to gain an expanded perspective of the institution. The reception will be held from 7-9pm in the Virginia Dare Room of UNC-G's Alumni House. Wachovia Bank and Trust Com-pany, First Union National Bank and Northwestern Bank announced today that they will join with 17 other banks to form a three-state regional interchange for sharing automated teller machines (ATMs) and point-of-sale (POS) terminals. The new interchange corporation, called Mid Atlantic Exchange, Inc., will be located in Raleigh, N.C, and will be jointly owned by the par-ticipating banks.
