National win changes tryout policy Varsity cheerleaders earn automatic return to squad Thursday, April 27, 1978 ' The Daily Tar Heel 3 By KAREN BARBER Staff Writer Last week, it was decided that for the first time ever, members of the varsity cheerleading squad who are not graduating in May will be allowed to return to next year's squad automatically. In former years, veteran cheerleaders were required to try out for the team along with non-team members. The cheerleaders were given the automatic return as a reward for winning the National Cheerleading Championship. Dorothy Gunnells, faculty adviser for the UNC cheerleaders, said Wednesday. "This was done solely as a bonus to this year's cheerleaders," Gunnells said, "and 1 feel that if they are good enough to win the national championship, they are good enough to get back on the UNC cheerleading squad without going through tryouts again." The change of policy this year is an exception to the rule, and the cheerleaders next year will have to compete to get back on the squad, Gunnells said. "I think the old policy is a really good one," she said. "1 think it's important that the tryouts are set up where talent comes first, and we'll be going back to the old policy next year unless next year's squad wins the national championship again." Cathy McDowell, head cheerleader for the 1977-78 varsity squad, said the cheerleaders had received no indication prior ro the tryouts that the policy would be changed. "Personally I think what's being done this year is a good thing," McDowell said. "All the cheerleaders put in a lot of time and work, and they deserve to be back on the squad, but they had nothing to do with the policy change." Another policy change made for the cheerleading tryouts this year is that all persons competing for the team, will do so under the supervision of a former varsity cheerleader, McDowell said. "Before, all the tryouts were allowed to choose the person they wanted to work with, but this way, we'll know the tryouts are getting good training and old cheerleaders are not as likely to mess someone up," she said. "I want to stress that cheerleading tryouts are just like any other type of tryouts," McDowell added. "There's going to be a lot of raised eyebrows and people asking questions about the fairness of the tryouts. There's going to be hard feelings no matter who is chosen." Returning from the 1977-78 cheerleading squad are: Vicki Marmarose, Heidi Behrends, Kim Cline, Mary Ann Shoas, Winnie Lyles, Brantley Peck, Bill Nicholson. Ross Coppage, Bob Fussell and Reb Thomas. Other members of the 1978-79 squad will be: Leslie Smith, Tibby Thomas, Lisa Yount, Charlie Lorant, Tim Lucido and Jeff Mott. ' I ! 11 J f l v if T- 1 -f - r - -w- -1 e if A i ji '!

Under the tax collection proposal. Orange County would operate collections for Carrboro and Chapel Hill, as well as for county taxes. The three bodies now have separate tax collection systems. Carrboro and Chapel Hill residents must mail separate checks to different addresses to pay town and county taxes. For walk-in payments, residents must now make town payments at Town Hall and county payments in Hillsborough. The Carrboro aldermen directed Town Manager Richard Knight to begin negotiations with the county on a formal agreement for administration of the system. Assistant Town Manager Phillip Whitaker said he hopes the system can be arranged in time to process 1978 taxes in August. I he new system should save Carrboro approximately $3.()(M). Whitaker said, but the savings w ill be offset for two or three years by the cost of implementing a computer system. This would link Carrboro to the county computer and allow up-to-date accounting of paid taxes. In other action, the aldermen authorized their representatives on a joint Chapel Hill-Carrboro Recreation Study Commission to stop work temporarily. Doris Muriell. one of Carrboro's three commission members asked for the break to ease strained relations with Chapel Hill's representatives. She said representatives from the towns have been working toward different goals and that tension had built up. Aldermen amend ordinance Police chief to grant special permits DTriAllen Jemigan Carolina cheerleaders By MIKE COYNE and SARAM WEST Staff Writers A resolution amending the noise control ordinance which will allow the town's chief of police to grant special permits for groups to exceed noise limits was adopted Monday night bythe Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen. The resolution, prepared by Town Manager Kurt J. Jenne and Town Attorney Emery B. Denny, establishes guidelines for the police chief to follow when considering permit requests such as: The hardship on the applicant versus the hardship on those affected. The possibility of increased cultural enjoyment and awareness on the part of residents. Annual events of social and cultural importance to residents. Alderman Robert Epting said he was concerned with the wording of the resolution. Specifically inclusion of the phrase "increased cultural awareness and enjoyment." "The problem, it seems to me, is that you Mountameering 4. 1 n r 1 t i )l o n n v L-J L-J L-JI X.

Celebrations, of course, are both expected and ex cellent opportunities to test your mountaineering mettle. Indeed, on major holidays it is virtually mandatory to do so.

"1 think that if you have limits you should have limits." Interliaternity Council President Tom Terrell concurred with Epting's statement. 'The important thing is that the chief of police still does not have to give the permit," Terrell said. "For example, if there are two or three parties in close proximity, he will use his discretion as to who to give the permit to." Marvin Silver, noise commission member, said, "I think the comments that Mr. Epting made demonstrate the resolution's subjectivity. But the present ordinance is even more subjective and arbitrary. The existing noise ordinance is completely untenable." But Silver said the resolution makes the noise ordinance more in keeping with Environmental Protection Agency guidelines and the guidelines of othertowns. w A Treasured Gift for that Special Carolina Graduate 1 ?7ir I -r Old Well Music Box PLAYS "HARK THE SOUND" in antique finish wood , . .
