I Where can you drink? Beer laws stiff er than students think By SHAWN DAUGHYRIDGE DTH Contributor "Hide that open beer; it's the cops!" "Hey, no sweat. You can carry beer on Rosemary Street, it's municipal. It's Franklin Street you have to be careful on. It's owned by the state. Or maybe it's the other way around?" Although rumors about it abound, few Chapel Hill residents know the town's public consumption law. The law says: "It shall be unlawful for any person to consume beer or unfortified wine on a street, sidewalk or alley, or in a municipal parking lot or in any of the following buildings: the Municipal Building, the Town Hall, the Public Library." To break the law is a misdemeanor, and the fine cannot exceed $10. "It's a matter of hazard not only for the traveling public but also for those in the beer bar," Chapel Hill Magistrate H. B. Hackney said. He said that Kirkpatrick's and The Shack are two such places where patrons spill out on the sidewalk and street to drink. The CAA is raffling... One ACC Tournament Ticket to students only. Tickets available for 500 in the Carolina Union 11-3 Friday and Monday. Drawing to be made by Dean Smith. Proceeds go to Student Athletics In August, 12 students were arrested for public consumption on Rosemary Street outside Kirkpatrick's. The bar owner, Tim Kirkpatrick. said the police called him in and said they w ere cracking down 'on persons who obstruct traffic. "Some of the people standing there (who were arrested) were not even drinking." Kirkpatrick said. "They were taken in anyway, and their case wasthrown out when it got to court." Kirkpatrick predicted that the problem of drinking in the street will get worse if the UNC basketball team makes the Eastern Regionals. especially if the weather is warm. He said that when his bar is crowded outside, he tries to make customers stand on bar property instead of on the public sidewalk, the area four feet from the curb. What, besides congregating in the street holdine beer, arc unsanctioned handlings of alcoholic beverages in Chapel Hill? "You can walk down i public street or .sidewalk with an open beer in your hand, but you can't be drinking it or be intoxicated to the point where it might endanger you or others," Chapel Hill policeman Erwin Merritt said. "Some streets such as 1 5-50 1, 86 and Franklin Street arc state property," Merritt said. "But they're under the jurisdiction of this city ordinance within the city limits." State law bans consumption where it is forbidden by the person in charge of the property or by local law. Thus the University campus and the streets that pass through it are under thecity ordinance. Lt. C. E. Mauer, University Police liaison officer, said, "What it boils down to is the Chapel Hill Police Department does not enforce (its drinking " ' ' llllllHmilLIIIIIIJLliJilllm.MIMIIIIIIIIimUB'Juni' -'" wuiiiuct....... pwsj M. - I ' L..

Jesse Helms could he deteated hy a strong Democratic opponent in the November general election, aceoulme to a poll conducted by the UNC School of Journalism. Ol the eight Democratic candidates running in the May 2 primary, former N.C. National Hank board chairperson Luther HodgCN and Insutance C ommissioner John Ingram hae the best chances ol defeating Helms, the sure showed. I he Carolina Poll, a statewide public opinion Miii'vey. asked the preferences of 54 1 icgiMcrcd voters last week, t hose surveyed included 375 Democrats, 140 Republicans and 2d Independents. I he survey select ionwas based on random digit dialing, a process with a 4-5 percent margin of error. Registered Democrats were asked which ol the eight candidates seeking their party's nomination they would vote for if the primary election were held immediately. Almost 25 percent said they favored Hodges, followed hy Ingram with 14.6 percent. State Sen. McNeill Smith came in third with 5.3 percent, while state Sen. Lawrence Davis trailed with 2.9 percent. Four other Democratic contenders polled less than 2 percent. Almost 49 percent of the Democrats surveyed said they did not know who they would vote for in the Democratic race. Persons surveyed were asked which candidate, including Helms, they would prefer as their senator in Washington. Hodges was the only Democrat to defeat the incumbent Republican. I he former banker polled 41 percent to Helms' 40.4 percent. Participants in the survey said they w ould prefer Helms to both Ingram and Davis if either of those two Democrats were to become their party's standard-bearer Helms defeated Ingram 39.3 percent to the insurance commissioner's 35.7 percent. T he poll indicates Helms could heat Davis 44.1 percent to 25,5 percent. The survey also showed Smith would trail Helms, 27.2 percent to Helms43.8percent. if Smith were to emerge victorious from the primary election. The poll results challenge political observers' assumptions that Helms is unbeatable and I ngram is the front-runner in the Democratic contest. Helms did not receive unanimous support from Republicans in the poll, a factor political observers say could be a key factor in the general election. The incumbent's GOP strength was just under 70 percent in his pairings with Hodges. Ingram and Smith Dr. William T.

"If we wanted to enforce it, we could. There's no use making them run inside with a can of beer." Mauer, who has been with the University Police for 14 years, said city police still come on campus, but he has never seen them make any arrests for public consumption of beer. Nor has he seen enforcement of the drinking ordinance in front of sororities or fraternities. Will University Police ever enforce the public-consumption ordinance? "We're not going to say we're not."

The 160,000 striking miners are expected to vote on ratification of the settlement proposal later in the week. Miners in the coal-rich Appalachian fields of Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania indicated at weekend rallies the UMW's 84 day strike is far from settled, despite the tentative agreement reached in Washington late Friday.

Weekend holocausts kill At least 13 persons died in weekend train derailments in Waverly, lenn. and Youngstown. Fla., and more than 45 others who were burned and scathed by severe lacerations were hospitalized. A chlorine-gas tank ruptured at the Florida derailment, sending a cloud of lethal fumes billowing over a sleeping farm hamlet. The accident forced officials to evacuate 1.000 residents within a three-mile radius of the Honda Panhandle community of Youngstow n. "It was like w e had been to Hell and back," said a survivor of the lennessee accident. Residents ol explosion-rocked Waverly returned to chinch services Sunday after explosives experts emptied the twin of a derailed tanker which exploded in a ball of fire and seared two city blocks with death and destruction. Canal support grows WASHING ION The Senate lineup for and against the Panama Canal treaties is so close that both sides take heart from what they have seen the past two weeks. news briefs Supporters think the trend is in their direction. Opponents think they are on the verge of enough votes to get the treaties changed or even sent back to the drawing boards. "The movement is in the direction of ratification." said Sen. Frank Church, D Idaho. He is one of the key proponents of the treaties which have been debated two full weeks in the Senate. He estimated there are 60 firm treaty supporters, 30 against and 10 undecided. To pass, the treaties must he ratified by two-thirds of senators present and voting, or 67 if all 100 members are present. Union vote set LENOIR - Workers at a Broyhill Industries furniture plant will vote Thursday on whether to accept union representation in the first unionization vote in a drive to organize Caldwell County workers. The 475 employees of the firm's Harper plant will be asked whether they want the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners to represent them. The union has campaigned for II months for the right to organize the county's 11.000 furniture workers. v Furniture manufacturers and labor organizers in the state are awaiting the outcome, and they interpret differently what a union victory would mean to the state's furniture industry. An organizer in the AFL-ClO's Industrial Union Department who asked not to be identified said a union loss "would discourage people. A victory would encourage workers and unions all over North Carolina." Carolina 4 i III !
