This year the festival will feature a Annual sales soar for growing Miami Subs restaurant chain By Kristen Laney Staff Writer Less than one year after moving into 107 E. Franklin St., Miami Subs’ con tinued growth has brought more than a 100-percent increase in sales to the Fla.- based restaurant chain. For the fiscal year ending May 31, the company’s revenue rose from SB.B million to $21.8 million, a 147-percent increase in total revenue, said Jerry Woda, chief financial official for Mi ami Subs. Fees for student-activity fees s6 more for Student Government and SI.BO more for APPLES, Allowing People to Plan Learning Experiences in Service. ■ The new Educational and Tech nology fee, created by the BOG, would cost students $126.

Dan Moseley, reigning queen of the festival, said he has been planning for the event since February. Each year anew queen is appointed, along with a court, to organize the fes tival for the upcoming year. When the Officials at Miami Subs consider the Chapel Hill store, which opened last August, a very lucrative account, Woda said. “The franchise is owned by one of our best franchisees,” Woda said of Florida-based owner Manny Garcia. “The company is just expanding.” Since the store has not been open a year, sale figures are not yet available, said Rich Quigley, manager of the down town Miami Subs. Many Miami Subs restaurants have been seeing double-digit increases in sales, Woda said, and sales in the newer and $250 for a graduate practicum fee. Copland questioned many of the fees, particularly the Educational and Tech nology fee, as being too excessive. Of the $73 increase for this fee, S7O of it would go toward the purchase and maintainence of computing and net working technologies such as those in computer labs and “master classrooms,” classrooms equipped with advanced computer technology. Copland said that improving techno logical services are crucial to the Uni versity but that they should be funded by the state. “All of these have been funded by state dollars in the past,” he said. “I don’t think the students should pay for functioning classrooms. The state should pay for academic buildings and classrooms. “I don’t think the ends justify the means.” Chris Canfield, director of media re lations for the business school, said MBA and MAC students knew what a great deal they are getting at UNC-CH, which Businessweek magazine named “the best MBA educational value in the world,” and understood the need for the MARK DABAGIAN DAILY TAR HEEL DR.

But now the role comes with a tremendous amount of responsi bility. “The largest priority we had was getting sponsors,” Moseley said. The festival raised $33,000 last year, he said. Most of the money went to the Triangle’s two AIDS homes, the Hustead House in Raleigh and the Blevins House in Durham. The TASP and AIDS Service Agency of Orange County each received $2,000 last year, Moseley said. The AIDS Service Agency of Or ange County recently reapplied for funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to build a Carrboro AIDS home, so funds raised from this year’s festival will be earmarked for units are even higher than older ones. Because the chain sells “college-type food,” it is especially successful in uni versity communities. “The biggest asset to us being lo cated in a college town is that we have people from all over the world step through our doors, and they take the high standards that we try to set with them,” Quigley said. Restauranteer Gus Boulis opened the first Miami Subs store in 1983 in Key West, Fla., and the chain has been ex panding since, Woda said. Miami Subs SSOO fee. “I think you have to differen tiate professional schools from the Uni versity at large,” he said. “(MBA and MAC students) know that the payback comes when they can take those skills to an interview.” Copland agreed that the distinction should be made for professional schools, but he questioned the large sum for the new fee. “It just seems like a huge fee increase, and it doesn’t seem like it needs to be funded,” Copland said. “There’s nothing in (the proposal) that says students had any say in it.” The student-fee increases require approval by the BOG, which is sched uled to meet Aug. 13. Copland said the BOT had received the fee proposal the night before its Friday meeting and had not had enough time to review it thoroughly. Thus the board “rubber-stamped” the recommen dations, he said. “I’m hoping the BOG will look at these fees very closely,” he said. “One positive thing is that the Board of Gov ernors has a lot longer to work on this.” Second-year UNC-CH law student and BOG member Mark Bibbs agreed SUZIEHOLLADAY KATE HOLLAND WALTER HOLT BILL HOOKE BILL HOUCK ANNIE HOWARD HOWARD PERRYS.

Although Miami Subs is reporting record sales, it has not adversely af fected Subway across the street. Jamil Qumeh, manager of the Sub way at 132 E. Franklin St., said that during the first couple of weeks that Miami Subs was open last summer, Subway’s sales were slightly lower, but that the BOT did not have enough time to examine the proposal. “I find it very difficult for any board member to review a packet almost an inch thick in one night after the chancellor’s barbecue.” Bibbs said that the student-fee pro posals from each of the 16 campuses would be scrutinized by the board’s Budget and Finance Committee. “It’s my opinion that the fee proposal needs to be reviewed very carefully, and the Board of Governors has to use its best judgment in determining the needs of the campus as opposed to the wants,” he said. “Clearly, some of these fees, at first glance, are wants and will be difficult to justify.” Bibbs said raising student fees would be hypocritical for anyone who fought the N.C. Senate-proposed surcharge and would go against N.C. constitutional mandate to provide public higher edu cation as close to free as practible. “I would not expect this Board of Governors to rubber-stamp any fee in crease from any campus,” he said. “It’s our job to sift through and determine what’s needed and what could wait.” JEFFMORGART MARY NIX PAULETTE NOBUN LAURIE NORMAN RICK NORRIS NORTHEN, BLUE, ROOKS, THIBAUT 8.

Tracy Lentz, a junior from Greens boro, said she liked Miami Subs be cause “they have a lot of different things you can eat there, and it’s great that they’re open so late.” Chris Moore, a senior from Kannapolis said, “Subway is cheaper than Miami Subs, but I like to be able to sit down in the restaurant to eat.” BCC from page 1 The BOT took two separate votes on the BCC issue after meeting for two hours in executive session. First, mem bers voted 10-2 to build a BCC outgoing BOT Chairman Robert Strickland of Winston-Salem and Tho mas Capps of Richmond, Va., voted against the motion. Incoming member Walter Davis was the only member of the 13-member board absent Friday. On the second motion to build the BCC on the Coker site, the vote was 6- 3 with 2 abstentions. Copland, Angela Bryant of Rocky Mount and Cressie Thigpen of Raleigh voted against the Coker site because they preferred the Wilson-Dey site. Strickland and Annette Wood of Edenton abstained. Strickland said he would support the construction of the BCC even though he voted against it. “Now that the majority has spoken, I think we should get be hind it.” The next step is to begin fund raising for the BCC and convince N.C. citizens that the center is worth; (he Copland said. “Once the decision is made, it’s time to move on,” he said. “The board’s not going to reverse the decision. “Realistically, we should be very happy that the BCC has been approved by the board.” Bradley said raising money for BCC would begin this summer. “I think it’s important to channel the anger to some thing positive for the movement.” He added that BCC supporters also should focus on educating the Univer sity community about the purpose of a BCC. “Even on the Coker site, I think the BCC will still have a positive im pact (on the University).” The BCC Advisory Board met Wednesday to discuss the decision. At press time, no statement was available from advisory board Chairman andjour nalism Professor Harry Amana or other members of the board. In other business, the BOT elected its new officers: John Harris of Charlotte as chairman, Wood as vice chairwoman and Thigpen as secretary. 2\s Copies July 1-31, 1993 Good on all plain white • 8 1/2xll autofeed and self-service copies.

Edward Marshall, a junior political science and religious studies major from Charlotte, is asking students to tell their Republican senators to end their current filibuster against the bill. The service act, the focal point of President Bill Clinton’s National Ser vice Initiative, is designed to empower youth to solve problems facing the na tion, Edwards said. “The act would originally provide for 25,000 youth to participate in ser vice to communities, receiving a $7,000 stipend per year, plus a $5,000 educa tional award following each year of service,” he said. Labeled the “Domestic Peace Corps,” the proposal was introduced in the Sen ate last week and had received biparti san support, but Sen. Bob Dole, R- Kan., has called the bill a tax-and-spend program and has rallied fellow Repub licans to a filibuster to kill the bill. Edwards said students should con tact Sens. Jesse Helms and Lauch Faircloth and tell them to vote to end the filibuster. “Now is the time to ask your senators to put an end to the filibuster and vote yes on the closure vote (today)," Edwards said. Helms’ number in Washington is (202) 224-6342. Faircloth’s number is (202) 224- 3154. Candidates can file for election until Aug. 6 Candidates who want a spot on the Nov. 2 ballot can file for the election until noon Aug. 6.

Incumbents Julie Andresen and Art Werner have opted not to vie for an other term. Chapel Hill residents Lee Pavao and Rosemary Waldorf also have entered the race. Carrboro Mayor-Eleanor Kinnaird, who ran uncontested in 1991 for her third term, is the only official candidate in Carrboro’s mayoral race. Three Board of Aldermen seats are open.
