Attorney General
Gesser Bringing New Ideas
By ELAINE WITKOWSKI
Staff Writer
Newly elected Atttorney General
Mike Gesser has new ideas for the
Judicial offices of Student Gover-nment.
He plans to expand the
emphasis from disciplinary con-cerns
to student advocacy and
student rights.
Gesser comments,"I think it's
the role of Student Government to
consider the needs of the students
on an overall basis rather than
focusing on social programming or
running disciplinary hearings. I
see my role as handling the legal
aspects of student rights and the
discriminatory laws and policies."
Gesser plans to implement
several programs. A traffic court
would eliminate redundant
responaiblitiea in the University
Mike Gesser
Court and render more attention
within its own system. Traffic
court would handle reoccuring
problems like dorm students pur-chasing
"C" stickers and non-seniors
"B" stickers in order to
park on campua.
Another program, a legal infor-mation
service, would allow
students to pick up legal advise
from lawyers. A grievance com-mittee
would allow students to
work out problems between tie
student body and counselors.
At the beginning of the Fall
semester wallet-size cards will be
distributed to inform students
what to do if they get into any
legal trouble. It will list the rights
of the student, expecially when
under a police search, the proper
procedures to take when in an
automobile accident, and it will list
important telephone numbers.
Censer is presently serving as an
intern District Attorney of
Guilford County. He has served on
the UNC-G University Court for
two years and has attended
seminars at the Institute of
Government of UNC-Chapel Hill
on law leadership and gover-nment.
He has made the following ap-pointments:
Cindy Brown, Judicial
coordinator, to coordinate court
dates; Brian Berkley, Chief Defen-se
Consul, to assign consuls for
defense; Paul Mengert, Chief
Prosecution Consul, to assign con-suls
for prosecution.
Aid Office Waiting On Feds
Faced with a 12 percent increase
in student aid applications,
principally from juniors and
seniors, Student Aid Director
Marleen Ingle says that her office,
like all others across the nation, is
Special to The Carolinian

directly as a result of federal
delays.
Chicural Selected
UNC-G Chief Marshall
Sharon Chicurel has been elec-ted
Chief Marshal of the Univer-sity
of North Carolina at Green-sboro
for the 1982-83 academic
year.
Ms. Chicurel, a rising senior, is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I.N.
Chicurel of Asheville, North
Carolina. She has a business ad-ministration
major at the univer-sity
and is frequently included on
the dean's list. She has been an ac-tive
member of the University
Marshals, serving as their
representative to the UNC-G
Leadership Committee. She is
currently a member of both Golden
Chain and the Greensboro Run-ning
Club, and has received many
honors. These include: UNC-G
Candidate and Representative for
the Harry S. Truman Memorial
Scholarship, National Dean's List
Student, Nominee for the 1982-83
Faculty Scholarship and Student
Excellence Award Nominee.
Ms. Chicurel's duties as Chief
Marshal will include: serving the
university at the Commencement
exercises in May and December,
calling the Marshal meetings and
organising the Marshals' in-volvement
in Commencement, the
Chancellor's Reception, the
University Concert/Lecture Series
and other events.
impatiently waiting to hear from
the U.S. Department of Education
about the Pell Grant payment
schedule, the Guaranteed Student
Loans Needs Test Guidelines and
forms, and requirement.* for
processing the 2,500 federal tax
returns expected to flood her of-fice.
"We are doing everything we
can to be ready to push the paper
through once we have the infor
mation we need from the federal
government," Ms. Ingle says.
In the meantime, the Student
Aid Office is processing awards to
students who do not qualify for
federal funds and notifying
students who do not qualify for
any aid. Preliminary work on
school certification on the 650
Guaranteed Student Loan ap-plications
already received is being
done in priority groups by date of
receipt. The office has already
prepared for distribution to ap-propriate
students an unofficial
needs test in anticipation of
federal regulations in hopes of
giving UNC-G students a head
start on loan applications. Because
of this advance planning, the
UNC-G Student Aid Office was
able to begin mailing applications
to lenders yesterday, as soon as
word was received that
regulations would be released that
day.
Funds for College Foundation
Loans look very good for those
who meet the new eligibility
criteria, principally students from
family incomes below $30,000.
Parent Loans at '4 percent for up
to $1,600 should be available to
North Carolina residents by
January 1983, with no income
ceiling.
Funding for the NDSL, Work-
Study and Supplemental Grants is
expected to be cut less than 5 per-cent
at UNC-G for 1982-83, one of
the lowest cuts in the state. The
loss of an estimated $27,000 in
SEOG is the cause of greatest con-cern,
affecting primarily out-of-state
students and students with
dependents, the two groups who
have the highest costs to attent
UNC-G.

West Coast
Schools Trying
Video Yearbooks
TORRANCE, CA (CPS)-in a
trend that may soon find its way to
college campuses, six California
high schools are experimenting
this year with video yearbooks to
supplement their usual paper
editions.
"We're not trying to replace paper yearbooks at all," says Dan
Farrom, producer/director of Video Yearbooks, Inc., the company
which is producing the videotapes. "This is something students can
add to their regular yearbooks as supplement."
We do highlights of major events, edit them, and blend them with
music," he explains. "There are also interviews with students and a
section where the kids can give their wishes for the future."
Everything is then packaged into a one-hour videotape, and sold to
students for $60 a cassette.
As for the college market, Farrom says his production team is ready
to take on any campus that's interested in chronicling the year's ac-tivites
on tape.
But, he adds, "We've found that most colleges already have their
own video department or even their own TV studios, so they may
choose to do it themselves if they find the idea attractive.
Weatherspoon Receives Burlington Grant
The Burlington Industries Foundation has given $7,500 to Weather-spoon
Art Gallery at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro
for the purchase of art for the gallery's permanent collection.
The gift was announced by UNC-G Chancellor William E. Moran,
who said the donation brings to $126,000 the total funds that the cor-poration
has given to the gallery.
"The Burlington Industries Foundation once again has demon-strated
its corporate support for the visual arts," said Dr. Moran.
"Over the years, Burlington's gifts have made it possible for
Weatherspoon Gallery to acquire several of its most important works
of art. Such financial assistance qualifies the corporation as a true
patron of the arts. The university is very grateful for these con-tributions."
The Burlington gift this year went toward the purchase of a 1981
bronze sculpture by new York artist Nancy Grossman. Entitled "A,"
the work was cast at the Johnson Atelier in Princeton, N.J. by former
UNC-G art faculty member Herk Van Tongeren. The sculpture is part
of an edition of three.
Primary Elections Rescheduled
With the possible rejection of the latest redistricting plans still on the
horizon, the North Carolina Board of Elections voted to reschedule
the 1982 primary elections from June 10 to June 29.
Officials for the U.S. Justice Department said they were ready to
Sprove the newest redistricting proposal by the state legislature if
e board moved the primary back to June 29, and if the candidate
filing deadline was extended to May 17.
Falkland* Crisis Continues
Francis Pym, British Foreign Secretary, has said that Great Britain
may ask the United Sates for logistic support in its conflict with
Argentina over the Falkland Islands.
Meanwhile, amid reports of a cease-fire by the two countries, a
British submarine reportedly hit an Argentine cruiser, the General
Belgrano, with several torpedoes off the Falklands Sunday afternoon.
The cruiser was severely damaged according to the reports, while
the submarine excaped damage. The General Belgrano was not repor-ted
to be sinking, nor were there any reports of casualties aboard the

UNC-G Gets Grant
A federal grant of $237,993 has
been awarded to a psychologist at
the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro to finance a three-year
program of research and ex-perimental
studies on the
education of autistic and mentally
retarded children.
Conducting the research will be
Dr. Arnold Rincover, an associate
professor of psychology at UNC-G.
The grant comes from the
National Institute of Child Health
and Human Development
(NICHHD) in Washington, D.C.
The funds will allow Rincover to
expand and continue work that he
began four years ago on an earlier
grant.
Autism, according to Rincover,
is an extreme form of mental
disorder that includes mental
retardation. Coined in the 1940s as
a term, autism refers to a set of
bizarre behaviors that include ex-treme
self-preoccupation, poor
language skills, self-injurious
behavior, withdrawal from reality
and failure to relate to others in
normal ways.
Doctors know little about
autism's causes, Rincover said,
although some believe it results
from chemical imbalances in the
brain. Autism affects about one of
every 2,500 children and the onset
is between birth and two years of
age.
Rincover's new research will
focus on three areas: classroom
training, parent training, and tod-dler
pre-school intervention.
"What we're looking for in the
research is some further
techniques in behavior
modification that will help autistic
and retarded children retain the
training they receive in schools,"
said Rincover. "We'll also be
looking at ways to help make
parents' tasks easier in keeping
their children at home rather than
institutionalizing them."
