Thursday. April 10, 1980 The Daily Tar Heel 3 IFC requests Heavy voter registration before deadline CFOSSWSl from council By MELODEE ALVES Staff Writer The Interfraternity Council voted Tuesday night to present a resolution to the Chapel Hill Town Council which requests that the town build a crosswalk on Franklin Street. The resolution states: "The IFC recommends the construction of a crosswalk across Franklin Street in the vicinity of the Morehead Planetarium. We feel that such a crosswalk would contribute greatly to the safety of the large number of students crossing there cfaily." The resolution was prompted by an accident last week in which a student was seriously injured while crossing the street in front of the Alpha Tau Omega house. "Ideally, we would like for them to put up a stop sign," IFC President John Blumberg said. A crosswalk was in the area in 1972, but after the street was repaved, the city never put the crosswalk back. But many pedestrians still cross the street in that area, he said. In other business, the IFC discussed a massive service project for next year that i i John Blumberg) would benefit the elderly of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Joe Buckner, non fraternity adviser to the IFC, presented the idea of a personalized taxi service called Fraternity and Sorority Transportation. He said the Greek service would have an advantage over some other transportation services for the elderly because Greeks would actually be spending time with the elderly rather than simply picking them up and dropping them off. Buckner said that each volunteer would have to spend only one day per month giving his services to FAST. The student would not have to work during exams or vacations. Buckner has already gained support from the Panhellenic Council and from the Orange County Office of Social Services, which is helping to work out the technicalities of the project. By ANNE PROSSER Staff Writer More than 300 Chapel Hill and Carrboro residents registered to vote in the May 6 primary Tuesday just before voter registration' closed. On Tuesday, 389 people registered to vote in the two towns. April 8 was the deadline to register to vote in the upcoming primary. Since special registration began March 10, 2,006 people have registered to vote in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. On an average day, approximately 45 people registered. During the two days of special registration in the Carolina Union, more than 300 people, most of them University students, registered to vote. One Democratic Party activist said the registration for this year's primary was heavier than registration for the 1976 primary and equaled the 1972 mark: "The heavy response is due, 1 think, to a renewed interest in government per se," Pat Carpenter, chairman of the Orange County Board of Elections, said. "There was general apathy in the late 70s toward government. Right now there are. some fairly interesting races that have people excited." Registration was approximately 2 to 1 Democratic, which is normal for this area. Carpenter said. Orange County voters will cast ballots for county, state and national races May 6. Topping the ballot will be the parties' presidential contests. -. Both Democratic candidate Sen. Robert Morgan and Republican John P. East are running unopposed in the party primaries for the U.S. Senate seat. Rep. L.H. Fountain of the 2nd district'also is running unopposed in the Democratic primary for the local congressional seat. Barry L. Gardner is the sole Republican candidate in the congressional race.
