Police Chief Herman Stone said that in meet bicycle accidents, the cyclist was at fault. "Most cf the viola tions involving the State Vehicle Code have been failure to yield right-of-way, passing at intersections and stoplightstep sign violations, Stone said. Pender graph said that police are concerned particularly with the cyclists' failure to yield. "The bicyclist is often in the automobile driver's blind spot; this can be very dangerous,' he said. ScSllflDflDl Stone said that he wanted to increase bicycle safety in all respects. "1 would also like to make bike riders, even though it is not a violation of the State Vehicle Code, use the bikeways and bike paths provided. We are also going to increase enforcement on equipment violations. Every bike should be equipped with a light and reflectors. la addition, we will cite motorists for failure to yield right-of-way," he said. ; City Planner Liz Rocks said that Chapel Hill's bike ordinance, developed in 1978, required all bikes to use provided bike paths and bikeways. "Elcycles must travel in single file, keep to the right and obey all traffic signs," she said. Failure to ride only in designated direction cf travel may result in serious accidents, Rocks said. Pendergraph said that stricter enforcement cf the bicycle ordinance would involve cyclists being given traffic tickets. "The bike ticket will be in the same form as that written to the motorist and subject to the same fine, but no points will be added to the cyclist's driving record," he said. . "We don't want to have to write tickets. We just want compliance with the . bike ordinance and the motor vehicle laws." 7771 . .. Cy SUSAN HUE CON Staff Writer So you've managed to muddle through 12 years of school without learning to type. But now the pressure is on. You've got a 10-page term paper due in a few days and you'll have to pay someone else to type it for you. Or, you've been trying to do those computer problems for quite some time, but the keyboard is more . than a match for your simple skills. . "Cut they don't teach typing at UNC," you say to yourself. You're right. But there is a unique school called TYPEWRITING etcetera that offers you the chance to learn to type in one or two lessons. The school, located in Kroger Plaza, has the atmos phere of an elementary school classroom, with its bright yellow room, low typing tables, a Muppet poster j K J iijjfl i!

A music stand holds the typing drill in front of the student to prevent the temptation of looking down at the keys. Despite the school's appeal to children, primarily for youngsters ages nine to 14, typing lessons are being taught for others by individual appointment or by groups of three or four persons. "We teach people from six to 60," said Claire Newman, one of the school's founders. Newman wrote a lesson book for the school Instant Typing for the Computer Age. The book is a self-instruction manual for touch typing. While she was working in New York City, Newman said she was sent out by a trade association to teach typing around the country. Her experience culminated DTH File Photo C!.pi! K"3 tilio cccidants cn tho riao ...police to crack down on offenders L yvt" iiCBSSCDiillS last March when she and her partner, Katherine Kling berg, opened the doors of TYPEWRITING etcetera to the public. Only two UNC students have attended the school. Doug Allred, a junior RTVMP major from Ellerbe, N.C., is one of them. He said the "emphasis on com puters" convinced him that he had "better learn how to type." Raleigh sophomore Kathy Hogrefe also went to TYPEWRITING etcetera to refresh her typing skills. She said she chose the school because she didn't have the time to take a community class for 10 weeks. Allred evaluated the school's method as "pretty good." But Hogrefe said she thought the teaching method would make it "a little hard" for those who had never typed before. Cy LEE BUN3AR Staff Writer After five years of planning, the contract bidding for the renovations of .the Orange County Jail will begin some time during the second week cf Decem ber, Orange County Commissioner Donald C. Willhoit said last week. "We'll probably receive them (the bids) sometime in the middle of Decem ber and make a decision shortly there after," he said. i The plans to enlarge and update the 55-year-cld facility have been delayed since 1975 due to delays in budgeting and approval for the architectural "The facilities' plan was adopted in 1976," Willhoit said. "Besides the jail, the Grady Brown school w us also to be renovated so the Social Services and Public Health departments could move in. Out of the $2 million we raised for the construction, the Grady Brown project consumed most of the money. The Orange County Jail did not become our highest priority until 1979; then our bond referendum failed, so the budget ing was net able to be completed until July 19S0." The next problem encountered was approval of architect Joe Nassifs plans. and the architect's conceptions were net compatible. They disagreed cn the type cf reef and windows," Willhoit said. The first step cf the renovations will be to build an addition onto the cxirtir.g structure. "The total area will be. in creased," Willhoit said. "Once it is finished, it will house all the prischtrs while the rest of the building is remodeled." The renovations will be extensive. "The latest estimate is over SC00,COQ," Willhoit said. "The jail was built 53 years ago. It has been reco'nized. as being inadequate for seme time. The inside will have to be completely gutted. All the hardware is outdated, as are the plumbing and electrical systems. It will When the remodeling is finished, the jail will be able to accommodate 42 prisoners. Willhoit said the construction would take approximately 14 months. "We hope that by the summer cf 1932 it will be entirely renovated," he said. Willhoit said that the county commis sioners would be pleased to keep the plans progressing. "We're anxious to get it completed," he said.

OWASA Executive Director W. Everett Billingsley said Monday University Lake was stijl 36 inches below normal. "It is important for the community to continue voluntary conservation," he said. OWASA is pumping about two million gallons orwater a day from the stone quarry reservoir into University Lake to help relieve the shortage. "The rain and runoff has restored the elevation of University Lake, but the forecast for the . next several weeks appears uncertain," Billingsley said. f ! " i m n a VI 9 1 F V 'A V , I I ) t Until the lake returns to normal, OWASA is asking residents to cut down on their use of water at home and in public buildings. For the past several weeks, Chapel Hill Mayor Joe Nassif, Carrboro Mayor Bob Drakeford and the Orange County Board of Commissioners have issued proclamations urging residents to follow OWASA's conservation guidelines. At one point in November, University Lake reached a level of 60 inches below normal and conservation efforts were begun. Billingsley said the problem should be relieved in a few weeks. Over the next week or so we'll be able to assess the situation better," he said. JEFF COWERS 1 ,i n r ? " 1 j V3 ! U Vjrt i Jill) '1 VlU .
