"The ABC board will hold a public hearing Oct. 16, and hopefully it will approve a set of state liquor regulations that day," Fulton said. The regulations would take effect in November, she said. - "We are in the process of drafting forms for liquor-license applications now so we can hand them out Nov. 1," she said. Licensed bars and restaurants may be serving mixed drinks by . mid-December, Fulton said. Fulton said she expects ABC board members to approve with no major changes the liquor-sales regulations proposed by a study commission chaired by former Gov. Jim Holshouser. UNC Institute of Government Assoc. Professor Michael Crowell, a staff aide to the Hoshouser Commision, agreed with Fulton. "ABC board members were at the commission meetings, and they expressed their views," Crowell said. "I don't think they'll change the regulations." "Although I'm dissatified with little things, generally I'm pleased with the proposed liquor regulations," said Jerry Williams, executive director of the North Carolina Restaurant Association. Williams said he would like to see the $ 10 tax on each gallon of liquor a proprietor buys lowered and the fee paid for a liquor license raised. - "Virginia has a $2 tax, and we were hoping for $5," he said. "A $10 tax runs up the cost of enforcing the regulation itself, and is counter-productive for the city and county's profit. "The state legislature could lower the tax, and we're talking to people now about lowering it. With the reduction of the tax, the license fee should increase it's too low now," Williams said. "North Carolina is very fortunate to have these regulations," he said. "The customer will be able to do about everything we had wanted initially." "The regulations are conservative, but I'd rather see them that way," said Joe Augustine, executive director of the Chapel H ill Carrboro Merchants Association and Chamber of Commerce. "With brown bagging, we have no alcoholic beverage control," he said. "A person could pour 10 or 12 ounces of liquor in a set up, have a couple of drinks, and get bombed. Now a proprietor doesn't have to serve anyone who is intoxicated," Augustine said. "Mixed drinks are going to greatly increase the amount of Chapef Hill's tourism and meetings," Augustine said.

Such approval would end five months of negotiations and three weeks of UNCs funding the system. The contract would take effect Monday, providing bus service until 8:30 p.m. for C-route riders. University funding, which began Aug. 28, ends today. Temple said he and other UNC administrators involved in the negotiations will review the contract this morning. Sharer said the Carrboro Board of Aldermen will hold a special meeting at 8 a.m. today. "The purpose of the meeting is to approve the extension of the C-route hours and I don't expect any problems," Sharer said. The proposed contract, based on an Aug. 30 compromise formula offered by UNC, would require the University to . pay $72,540 and Carrboro $24,443 for the bus system this academic year. The cost of future bus service extension would be split on a 50-50 basis between the two. According to Sharer, the extension of the F-route on Franklin, which Carrboro officials had hoped for, probably will begin next semester. The F-route will be extended to include Hillsborough Road and Greensbgro Street. The extension was excluded from the proposed contract because if extended it must first be redesigned. The bus controversy began in April when the Carrboro aldermen rejected a funding proposal by the University and the Town of Chapel Hill. Under the proposal Carrboro would have contributed $52,350, almost three times the cost it paid a year ago for the same service. The University would have contributed the same amount as in the previous year under the contract. Since then, negotiations have centered around efforts to split costs fairly between, UNC and Carrboro without straining the budget of either. The U niversity accused Carrboro of seeking increased UNC funding to raise the level of bus service, something Temple said the city could not afford. Carrboro officials cited figures saying the University's net contributions as proposed might be lower than in previous years because of the increased sale of bus passes. Aug. 28, the University, faced with no transportation for its Carrboro students, offered to fund Carrboro service for three weeks while negotiations continued.. Under that stopgap contract, service ended today. Sx w. N . x s 4J-N.-NS.X x.x xs xv,. NXXXNNNXNV X.X.XXXXXX SNNM "NX- x N Nx .V rfV .N.X U X NNN x-iWS; -xXX nN nn? X NX :nXnnvs , J.

University police recommend ticket holders park at shopping centers and ride shuttle buses into campus. Lt. Charles Mauer of the University police is cooperating with the N.C. Highway Patrol and the Chapel Hill police to prepare the campus for home game weekends. - "We strongly recommend students and their parents park at shopping centers or the lot next to the physical plant and take shuttle buses to campus," Mauer said. "It's a sell-out this weekend and parking on campus will be a mess." Bill Callahan, administrative assistant to the director of transportation, said this is the third year for the special football game bus system. "We will be using the Tar Heel Express units this Saturday," Callahan said. "They are two special routes we utilize during football game Saturdays." One route leaves from Kroger Plaza parking lot in front of the Moon Palace Restaurant to take riders non-stop to the Bell Tower. The other route picks up riders at the Airport lot on the corner of Estes Drive and Airport Road and takes them to the Bell Tower. Both the express routes will run every 10 minutes beginning on Saturday morning from 11:30 a.m.-l:20 p.m. "If ticket-holders want to park at Glenn Lennox or Eastgate shopping centers and ride buses to campus, we will have regular route service running their Saturday schedule," Callahan said. "For persons parking at Eastgate, consult the F route schedule and for people parking at Glenn Lennox, see the G route schedule. Both buses run from 1 1:30 a.m. until 5 and 6 p.m" he said. "The Tar Heel Express averaged over 1,000 riders a game last year," Callahan said. "We think it's fairly successful and it's a service that's needed." If you must drive to the game, beware of blocking other cars and parking in fire lanes. "We'll have to tow cars that block in other cars or block fire lanes," Mauer said. "Both these situations are dangerous and can't be tolerated. "There's no way we can tow all the cars that will be parked on curbs, grass and sidewalks," he added. "The parking regulations are out on the weekends, so anybody without a parking sticker can park in the lots. Our student monitors will work Saturday morning to keep cars out when the lots are full." During and after the football game, three different forces of police officers will be involved with crowd control. "The University officers will be on the field and at the field house," Mauer said. "The Chapel Hill policemen have the stands and the North Carolina Highway Patrolmen will direct traffic at major intersections after the game. "I've been coordinating these games for 15 years and every year more people are drawn to see Carolina play," Mauer said. The following areas will be closed to parking Saturday and all following See GAME oh page 4 CAMP DAVID, Md. (AP) A peace formula eluded leaders at the Mideast summit Thursday as prospects for an early windup seemed to fade. But President Carter kept up the quest. He met twice with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, once in the morning and again later in the day. Carter also held a separate session with Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman. Dayan then conferred with Sadat for an hour and a quarter at the Egyptian leader's lodge, the White House said. It provided . no details about . any of the meetings. J At the same time, diplomatic sources who had said earlier in the day that the summit appeared headed toward a ' windup by Friday were edging away from their forecast. One U.S. official, who asked not to be identified, said the talks could extend beyond the Jewish Sabbath, a 24-hour period that ends at nightfall Saturday. The official said Powell was trying to curb optimistic news reports indicating an early end for the summit. The official described the talks as, staying at essentially the same stage over the past two or three days. Powell's call for more flexibility came in a formal statement approved by all three delegations. The statement claimed continuing progress without providing specifics and said "the intense efforts of the past few days are continuing." Responding to questions, Powell insisted that the summit was not at a stalemate. Carter, an early riser, walked for an hour during the morning with President Sadat along the tree-lined paths of the presidential retreat. Late Wednesday night Carter had met with Begin in the prime minister's lodge for 25 minutes.. in Neither session was announced advance. Carter has not brought Begin and Sadat together in a week. Israeli and Egyptian legal experts were known to be working on details of the projected formula for future negotiations. It was understood that Osama Al-Baz, the Egyptian counselor, met for eight hours on Wednesday with Aharon Barak, former Israeli attorney general who has been named to Israel's Supreme Court. One of the key issues on the table is how, the document will deal with -the future of the LI million 4 Palestinian Arabs now living under Israeli military control on the West Bank of the Jordan River and in the Gaza district of the Sinai desert. Before the summit, Israel indicated its willingness to take up the question after a five-year period of civil self-rule proposed by Begin last December but rejected by Sadat as inadequate. A compromise was understood to be under discussion. Israel would commit itself to a decision at the end of five years but not promise any particular course of action in advance. Further tangling the dispute is the desire of summit participants ultimately to draw Jordan into the peace talks. ( King Hussein has insisted on an Israeli commitment to; withdraw. Begin, citing historical as well as security reasons, has refused to give that commitment. Powell said he had been authorized by the Israeli government to deny a published report that Begin had agreed in principle at Camp David to an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank. Earlier, Israeli officials who barred the use of their names denied as "pure. P.ttJS sty I , H Jody Powell unadulterated, undiluted rubbish" and "completely without foundation" similar reports that Begin had committed Israel to withdrawal. If an accord can be achieved, it would meet at least the minimum requirements for a successful conference, even if it did not ensure an ultimate Mideast settlement. The broadly worded formula, which would deal with the future of the Palestinian Arabs and other fundamental issues, replaces a declaration of principles that was nearing completion in January when Sadat broke off direct negotiations with Israel. In his drive to nail down the agreement, tentatively called a "framework of negotiations," Carter canceled one appearance and postponed two speechmaking and politicking trips. Carolina band steps it up for lialftime show By LAURA ALEXANDER Staff Writer It is 6 p.m. and the drummers practice a cadance in a circle in front of Boshamer Stadium. The majorettes, already on the field, rehearse one of their baton routines. The Marching Carolines gather by the gate discussing uniforms as their flags ripple slightly in the evening breeze. Scattered notes float across the field from trumpets and tubas as band members gather for rehearsal. In the weeks prior to the opening game of football season, the linemen, backs and coaches are not the only ones preparing for the event. Each evening, Tuesday through Thursday, as Coach Crum dismisses his players to straggle off Intramural Field, the Marching Tar Heels are gathering in front of Boshamer Stadium for band practice. This fall, approximately 215 Marching Tar Heels, including 20 flag carriers and seven majorettes, will adorn the field of Kenan Stadium during pre-game and halftime shows. Traditionally, 98 percent of its members are non-music majors. The band tries to please everyone, says Major John Yesulaitus, director of University Bands. "We have some of the old and some of the new." At the season opener against ECU, some of the old will be Opus One, a big-band number from the '40s that many Carolina alumni danced to during their UNC careers.

"Each year we improve some," he says. "We're very excited about the coming year." He says he considers enthusiasm' and desire the band's marks of success and that the 1978 group has a plentiful supply of both. Yesulaitus stresses music and the band is known for its traditionally strong brass sound. We do music that is well prepared and has impact," he said. "It depends on how well we get along as a group. There are a large number of freshmen who have to fit into our pattern." Besides the excitement of playing at home games, band President Don Joy ner says he considers traveling with the band a valuable plus. This year a pep band will go to Pittsburgh. Pa. a large portion of the band will travel to Wake Forest to play in the stands and the entire group will march at the Clemson game. "We strive to support the team," Yesulaitus says. Drum Major Harvey Leavitt, a sophomore from Wadesboro, sees band members through their paces at rehearsals and directs the field shows during the pre-game and halftime. Athena Redmond serves as captain of the Marching Carolines Flag Team. Head Majorette is Dani Bridges. The band finishes practicing halftime. The drum major blows his whistle and waves everyone to the sideline. Majorettes and flag girls continue to run through their routines, for each group will be featured in one of the numbers for the show Saturday. The musicians play through a song one more time for good measure. Announcements are made. Practice ends with a traditional dialogue: "Who we gonna beat?" shouts Major Y. "E-C-U!" the band yells back. "OK. Go home and study." UNC student whistles 'Dixie9 to gain title at Spivey's Corner By MARGARET LEE Staff Writer "Whistling is a sensual experience. You put your fingers in you mouth and blow a loud, long, deep penetrating sound and you know you're cooking it just right," says National Whistlin Champ Eric Vernon. Vernon, 25, of Garner won the title with a repertoire of possum-cooking whistles this summer at the 10th Annual National Hollern' Contest held at Spivey's Corner. Through the publicity he-generated at Spivey's Corner, Vernon says he hopes to be discovered as Radar's double and embark on a television career on MA SH. For the moment, he satisfies himself as a third-year law student at UNC. As spectators licked their lips to Vernon's favorite whistle for possum cooked in wine sauce to the tune of the French national anthem, possum chili to "La Cucaracha" and Southern-fried possum to "Dixie." three TV networks and the British Broadcasting Company recorded the event. Vernon, beter known as Radar to his friends, has since appeared on several local TV shows and his agent is sending out video dubs to the Johnny Carson, Merv Gitfin and Phil Donahue shows. Since he began whistling as a 7 year old, he has practiced diligently at rock concerts and sports events. He says he discovered his talent while whistling in the backyard. When a possum blew up and fell out of a tree, he realized it was a great power. "I went to Spivey's Corner to frolic in the noonday sun, listen to country singers and bluegrass bands and watch the doggers," he recalls. "Well, actually it was just an excuse to get loaded. There aren't too many ways you can face 1 1.000 people and tell them you love to eat possum. "It tastes real good like cat. You must be sure to get your possum with head and claws intact so you're not x I V A DTH Allen jernigan Law student Eric Vernon shows form getting cat. Possum costs a whole lot more than cat. It's 50 cents a pound; cat is only 10." To cook a possum. Vernon advises, "put it on a rock and whistle loud and deep so that it cooks from the inside out like a microwave oven." According to Vernon, his shrill whistle has a range of five miles. Spivey's Corner has a long tradition of possum enthusiasm including the prettiest-possum contest and the possum race.
