"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.

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.

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.

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."

"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

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

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.

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

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.

contend with.
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.
