"Draft Counseling Service broke wants money . J by Norman Black Staff Writer "I find it is a peculiar situation when an organi2ation which provides a direct service to students-both male ar.d female-cannot be funded by Student Government." These are the words of Bruce Lay ton, a third year graduate student and coordinator of the UNC Draft Counseling Service. Vol. 80. No. 6 -ma Ti iown Jboarcii posttpoin by Norman Black Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen deliberated 45 minutes on the street vending issue Monday afternoon-but made no final decision. The board ended their discussion by agreeing not to place the issue on the agenda again until a concrete proposal has been developed for presentation. Aldermen Joe Nassif and Alice Welsh were appointed to develop a plan which would allow some kind of vending in Chapel Hill. Their plan may also include possible regulations and restrictions. Alderman James Wallace was disturbed owns Court says by Bill Lovin Staff Writer "" Towing parked cars was judged illegal, at least in one case, by Orange County District Court last week. Robert Oakes, manager of Cedar Court Apartments, and Bill Burch, owner of Burch's Auto Servicenter, were found guilty of "unlawful taking of a motor vehicle without intent to steal." They served notice of appeal, and the case is tentatively scheduled for the Orange County Superior Court term ending Sept. 14. Burch, under direction of Oakes, allegedly towed a car Aug. 18 belonging to Rick Gibbs, former UNC student living in Chapel Hill. Gibbs' car was parked in the driveway of Cedar Court in Carrboro while he was visiting friends across the street. This student in Old East was blessed v students in the older dorms. Yes, they're putting new wiring in to help relieve the power situation. But why didn't they think of that last summer?

Student Body President Joe Strings v7fn1 f ; Ycn of 'Editor ul freedom Tuesday, September 7, 1971 "n on street because the boear had spent so much time on the vending controversy, and thought it should have a lower priority. "The Daily Tar Heel had an editorial (Monday) where they call this the most pressing issue facing Chapel Hill," Wallace said. "I disagree. On my list of priorities, this thing is way down." The discussion began with a proposal by Alderman R.D. Smith for using the south side of Franklin Street for street vending. "It is my opinion that we whould utilize that side, which is much wider." Smith said. "I've talked to a number of merchants, and they had no qualms about vending on that side." cairc toiving illegal in "There was no sign saying parking W3S illegal," said Gibbs, a New York City native, "and I wasn't blocking the driveway." Oakes said movers complained their van could not get out of Cedar Court's driveway because of Gibbs' car. When Gibbs was told he would have to pay $10 to get his car back, he called Chapel Hill attorney Steve Bernholz. "I called Bernholz, not because I thought it was illegal for them to tow my car," said Gibbs, "but because 1 thought Oakes could have found me and avoided towing it." Bernholz advised Gibbs to make a complaint to the Chapel Hill magistrate. As a result, a warrant was issued for Oakes and Burch. They were charged under N. C. General Statute 20-105, which makes unlawful the taking of a vehicle without 1 with a visitor last week, as were a lot of " i 1 :J ' .J ; - 'QOj 1 r, j- I -Y . t yV t " ii.u .'ujji i4ie...-.i -. - i-fr'-.k-- tur.dir.z of the Draft Co-nsIirz Service "which is valuable for many it-dents," both graduate ar.d undergraduate." The servue should draw up a budget although all Student Government funds presently allocated. Stagings said, so they would have a program ready -J additional funds become available. StalLngs said he approved sp-e for Before this proposal was considered, however, Alderman Joe Nassif raised the question of whether it was in the public interest to allow vending on public property. Aldermen Nassif and Welsh pointed out it was the town's right to regulate vending, and with suitable controls it would be possible to permit street vending. "We established last meeting that it is the legal right of the town to permit vending, but is it in the Interest of the public?" Mrs. Welch asked. '"It is obviously desirable because it's been done so much. It seems to me it can be a positive contribution. But we should get some cases intent to steal. The law js called the "joy riding" statute "and makes the crime a misdemeanor carrying a fine or jail sentence up to two years. The case was prosecuted Hillsborough District Court Aug. in 31. Gibbs appeared as a witness for the prosecution. Courtroom testimony revealed no moving van was blocked at Cedar Court parking lot when Gibbs' car was moved. "No parking" or "towing" signs were not displayed in the parking lot, according to testimony. Oakes and Burch were found guilty and said they would appeal the decision. The initial trial was decided by a single judge but the appeal can be with a jury trial. Bernholz, who "represented Rick just to help him get his car back," said the decision may set a precedent. He said it could have tremendous effect on existing towing practices. "There is some question," Bernholz added, "about the legality of charging the car owner for towing. No ordinance says anything about that, it's just a matter of custom." Bernholz said there is a law, N.C. Statute 14-401.9, which makes unauthorized parking illegal "provided a sign not less than 24 inches is displayed." This law makes illegal parking a misdemeanor, carrying a $10 fine but says nothing about towing. University towing policies could come under these statutes, said Bernholz, but a court test would be required. sales Already planning next issue Yack distribiitioii slated today by Evans Witt Staff Writer Distribution of the N71 Yackety-Yack begins at 1 p.m. today at the north entrance of the Carolina Union. Valid student l.D. cards will be required to receive a Yack, which has two volumes this year. Distribution will continue for the remainder of the week. New students, freshmen and this year's transfer students are not entitled to a 1971 Yack and should not try to obtain one. Even as the 1971 Yack is being distributed, the planning for the 1Q72 edition is underway, says editor Dave Collins. Putting the yearbook on a subscription basis and continuing many editorial innovations begun last year are objectives of the new editor. Recruitment of a large staff to sell subscriptions for he Yack is another major job which Collins must s e 1 ors Goemm"t o Robert Grady, SL Ira-We committee, was not ava.larle for comment late M:-.da; .

Founded February 23, 1893 reasonable controls which are fair to everybody." Alderman Wallace agreed with the town's right to control vending and added tie town should be able to limit vending yo the flower ladies. ! "1 believe we can limit vending to natural flowers, if we want to appeal the court's decision," Wallace said. Wallace also thought that conditions on Franklin Street were much improved without the street vendors present. "I just do not perceive how you can structure and regulate vending on Franklin Street," Wallace said. "Street vending won't work on Chapel Hill's narrow sidewalks. I would like to get away from the phrase street vending and move toward a plaza. "The little man has been frozen out on Franklin. A plaza would take care of our parking situation as well as the little man." Wallace then addressed himself to the proposal submitted by Mayor Howard Lee's advisory committee, which would establish some 39 stalls to be used by the vndors. 'That's not a plan at all," Wallace said. 'They are not capable of enforcing any of these (proposed) regulations." At this point, the board decided to postpone the issue until a concrete proposal could be presented. Vendors have been absent from the Franklin Street sidewalks since July 1, when the board voted to retain an ordinance which bans selling on public property. The aldermen's action came after a clause exempting the sale of flowers was ruled discriminatory in Orange County Superior Court. In other business, motion was made and passed which would allow Chapel Hill to hire a full-time dog warden who would develop a program of dog control for the town. Aldermen Nassif and Acroggs were appointed to report on any conflict existing between the county's blue laws and the laws of Chapel Hill, in regard to the sale of alcoholic beverages. In other action. Albert Hogan and Mrs. Mabel Weaver were appointed to the town Redevelopment Commission, filling two seats made vacant by resignations.

For the first time, this year the Yack will be financed through S6 student subscriptions. Previously, the costs of producing the annual were borne solely by student fees. This year, the Yack will receive approximately one-fifth of last year's student fee allocation. Although a commission-based selling campaign for the Yack has not been approved, Collins believes some type of commission arrangement will be worked out. His plans for establishment of 3 sales organization involve sales territories on campus and commissions of perhaps 25 cents on each subscription. The Yack subscription drive is slated to begin the week of Sept. 20. Filling several staff positions on the yearbook, including layout editor, is a primary task facing Collings. "We need a layout editor-someone with a lot of experience-to fill this salaried staff post." Collins said. d raft .I..BHJWIILM..WJI..H . W.W.,,I....IWWLll..ll-l. .11.
