Press receives
construction bids
From page 1
both state and. university lands from the
historic district's purview. The amendment,
therefore, had the opposite effect of the
original bill when it was introduced last
April.
Joseph Herzenberg, chairman of the
Chapel Hill Historic District Commission,
said he was displeased with how the Univer
sity handled the situation and said he would
have preferred that it had gone through local
legislative or judicial channels rather than
through the state legislature.
"There is a lot of dissatisfaction among
people in the town with the university,
Herzenberg said. This, of course, can
happen in any 'company town but in the last
few years the tendency has been more and
more to go; to the . Qeneral Assembly .
"whenever the University cant get its way.
This has caused even more resentment."
Herzenberg added that this resentment
may have been increased last year when town
aldermen initially denied the proposal for
the hospital parking deck but later changed
their minds for fear the University would take
the matter to the legislature and overrule
them.
"People's senses of fair play are offended,
Herzenberg said. But he added that the Uni
versity does have every legal right to use the
legislature in this manner.
Herzenberg also charged the University
with trying to amend the original bill with
the sole purpose of gaining access to the
historic site for the Press building.
"There was some talk about historic
property in Raleigh, but this was only a
smokescreen. The real motive was the Press
building, he explained.
Herzenberg said the University's powerful
influence in the General Assembly is
generally used for good ends but the case of
the Press building is an exception.
John Temple, vice-chancellor for business
and finance, has been previously quoted as

saying that the University exerted no undue
pressure on the legislature and that it had no
real choice but to use that avenue JThe state
and the University have influence in the
General Assembly, but it wasn't a matter of
power politics.; We didn't go over there
lobbying our friends and applying pressure,
Temple said in a recent article.
Rachel Windham, assistant to Temple,
said the office has not received any direct
comments about community dissatisfaction.
Director of Facilities Planning Gordon
Rutherford said that the Press building's
design will be based on a revised plan as
opposed to the original one. Herzenberg said
the later model was probably chosen because
it had met with less opposition from the
Historic District Commission than the first
and the architect thought it was more in
character with the site.
It has been estimated by Temple in
previous interviews that the four-month
delay ahd"thefevision of architectural plans -in
an attempt to gain approval has increased
the cost of the building by as much as
$50,000 from an original cost of $500,000.
The increase,' he has said, includes SI 5,000
for the revised architectural plans.
Rutherford indicated that the attorney
general wanted to revise the recent law to
exclude university and state property as was
the intent of the unamended bill, but
Rutherford said he. was goint to "wait and
see.
Rutherford also said there are no current
or future plans to do any building in a
historic district, provided the historic
boundaries remain the same.

Follow-up finds
tew violations
By ARLINE MANNING
A follow-up investigation by the Orange
County Alcoholic Beverage Control police
found that no recent major. violations have
been made in regard to the sale of liquor to
minors. ABC police Chief Burch Compton
said he was "overall pleased with the local
establishments and their efforts to abide by
the laws."
Two full-time officers are assigned to
making regular and spot checks in the local
bars in order to keep them alert, he said. "If a
bar knows we're coming, then they're
prepared," said Compton.
Compton said the responsibility of
upholding the ABC laws rests in the hands of
the business itself. "In a college town so
many of the customers are under 18 and this
is why a thorough check of identification is a
necessity. If a bartendcrserves a beer, to an
1 8-year-old at a table, it is up to him to make
sure his 21 -year-old buddies aren't slipping
him mixed drinks on the side."
Tom Purdy, owner of private club and
bar, Purdy's, said he realized that the ABC
board had a job to do and he is solely
concerned with upholding all regulations.
Purdy often has three people at the door who
are concerned only with checking IDs and
memberships. Although Purdy has not had
any big problems with violations, he said
he was somewhat nervous because
"realistically, no system is fool proof."
Concerning checking of IDs at local
establishments, Compton said, "The bars are
doing a lot better and we are proud that
Chapel Hill is running liquor by the drink so
well."
Compton said he was mainly concerned
with Chapel Hill's image. He wants the
public to feel safe knowing a drunken brawl
is not going to break out. "We are not
attempting to take anyone to court, only
trying to work with the establishments so
that everything will run smoothly for Chapel
Hill and the community," he said.
