Friday, October 2, 1931The Daily Tar Heel3 Foiisliee to Fun again - White seeks re-election Seat sought, by Pasquini By JOHN CONWAY n DTH SlafT Wriler Frustrated by the unresponsiveness of town government, David A. Pasquini has announced his candidacy for the Chapel Hill Town Council. Pasquini, a graduate of Purdue Uni versity and the UNC School of Public Health, said he was concerned about un balanced representation in Chapel Hill town government. "It appears that the present city coun cil isn't real responsive to the needs of some of the citizens, especially a large number of citizens that pay real estate and personal property tax," Pasquini said. Although an advocate of public housing, Pasquini was disappointed with the town's approval of a 16-duplex public housing project to be built in the Piney Mountain housing development, near Pasquini's North Forest Hills residence. Alternative sites were not properly ex-' amined by the council, Pasquini said, and as a result, residents will be isolated in a densely populated ara. If elected, Pasquini said he would like to investigate the financial operations of the town, v "One thing I would like to do is review very closely the money that's coming in Pasquini and the money that's going out," Pasquini said; Pasquini said he thought recently an nexed areas were paying for some services that they were not receiving. "I would just like to see basically where the money is going." The new Chapel Hill zoning ordinance is inequitable, Pasquini said, because it is inconsistent. The ordinance allows a greater density of population per acre, causing an unbalanced situation in loop areas. In the area of city services, Pasquini said there should possibly be a redistri bution. . "Everybody always wants a little more for their -end," he said, calling for a reexamination. By KAREN HAYWOOD ' ' DTH Staff Writer Announcing Thursday he would seek a fourth term on the Carrboro Board of Aldermen, Braxton Foushee said the Carrboro Community Coalition . "can continue to provide good government in Carrboro while the Association for a Bet ter Carrboro can only promise." Foushee said the buses, bikeways and new community park were evidence of the coalition's and the board's successes. Foushee said that if the ABC candi dates were elected that transportation for students would become very expensive. "They' say they support bus transpor tation ... that means to them a self-supporting system," Foushee said. Foushee said he would support the bus system at its current level. The bus system needs to expand into the recently annexed Barrington Hills neighborhood, but the cost would be tre mendous and the ridership would proba bly be low, he said. , s - In response to charges that Carrboro is not encouraging development, Foushee said the town had approved six projects in the past few months. Carrboro is the only town of its size, that has an economic development speci alist, he said. 4W en Foushee Foushee also said that he did not be lieve the town had been involved in too much litigation, as. ABC has charged. If you have a dispute with somebody, the place to settle it is in court," he said. With regard to one suit, Foushee said the town and the Orange Water and Sewer Authority had reached an impasse, and they mutally agreed to settle it in court. Foushee is on the board of directors of the North Carolina League of Cities. He is also on the Orange Water and Sewer Authority Board of Directors and has been president of the Carrboro Schools' Parent Teacher Association. By KAREN HAYWOOD DTH Staff Writer Nancy White announced her intention Thursday to jun for re-election on the Carrboro Board of Aldermen, saying that , Carrboro needs to maintain . "the im provements which the (Carrboro Com munity) Coalition has brought to town. "We have made changes fn which I am proud to have played a part' White said. "The bus system works and has a sound financial basis. The bikeways are under construction. The new park opens this month. The green garbage cans have thwarted scavenging dogs and reduced litter along the streets," she said. These changes are of particular interest to students, White said. But most of the improvements are of equal or more bene fit to permanent residents. White said the present board had been criticized for raising taxes. The implica tion is that should Mour opponents be elected, they will lower taxes," she said. "My question is, what programs do they plan to eliminate?" White said that since many of the leaders of the Association for a Better Carrboro spoke out against the bus sys tem in the past, "it would be logical to assume that the bus system would be the first thing to go." X . ...-...-.-Nv.v.'iMAV6ww( White If that is not the case, now is the time to say so, she said. In response to charges that Carrboro does not have an open government, White said that only 33 percent of the members of town boards and committees were coalition members, repeating what other coalition candidates have said. "We view all residents of town as citi zens of the town, whether or not they own real estate," she said. Some of the members of ABC have problems with that, White added. White graduated from UNC-Greens-boro and from the School of Library Science at UNC-CH. She works in Wilson Library as head of the Serials section of the Catalog Department. Hospitals receive profits Shriiiers Hold benefit fish fry Lewis drops from Carrboro election By JEANNIE REYNOLDS ' DTH Staff Writer The Fall Shriners Fish Fry given by the Orange County Shrine Club is from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. today in the parking lot of University Mall. Proceeds from the fish fry will go to aid crippled children in the 21 hospitals supported by the Shriners. "Eighteen of the hospitals are orthopedic hospitals," Orange County Shriner James Jennings said. "The other three hospitals are burn centers for children who have been severely burned." Jennings said that the only requirement for a child to receive aid from the Shriners was that the child's parents could not afford to give the child private treatment. . "We (the Shriners) pay the full cost for all of the treatment,'. he said. "And that includes transportation costs as well as motel costs for the parents if need be. "It doesn't cost them a penny." In addition to the 21 hospitals in the United States, Jennings said that there was a 22nd facility in Canada, supported by the Shriners. Donations had 'been used there also until Canada adopted a system of social medicine, Jennings said, in which the government takes care of all medical costs. Since then, Shriner donations have gone to the aid of a pure research facility in Canada, Jennings said. The nearest of the hospitals to Chapel Hill is in Greenville, SC.- '. ' J:' : . , . ' Jennings said that public support in the past had been good and that town and corporate support for today's activities had been a great help. "We've bought 2000 pounds of fish and we would love to have to order some more," he said. And Jennings said that the fish would be "better than anything you've ever eaten." The plates include flounder fillet, cole slaw, and hush puppies. The price is $3.50 per plate. By KAREN HAYWOOD DTH Staff Writer Saying that the Carrboro Community Coalition needs "three united, strong candidates to shut down the threat by the Association for a Better Carrboro," Sonya Lewis withdrew from the Carrboro Board of Aldermen race Thursday. "I originally announced my candidacy because I felt the appearance this summer of the Association for a Better Carrboro posed a serious threat to the continuation of the current level of services in Carr boro," she said. She said she was concerned that if ABC came to power it would end bus service in Carrboro. At the time of her decision, she said, the three incumbents (Braxton Fousheev Doug Sharer and Nancy White, who are in the coalition) had not decided whether to run for re-election. " Since they have announced their can didacy, "I feel they are the best standard bearers for the issues which concern me," she said. Lewis said she intended to support the incumbent aldermen and also Mayor RrvKort rVakeford.for r-p1; Lewis said she was concerned that new voters would not realize that the leader ship and candidates of the Association for a Better Carrboro opposed the Public -i Transportation Referendum in Carrboro 'just one year ago. "These are the same people now telling ' students arid other public transit users to " vote for' them," she said. "The ABC people are wolves in sheep's clothing. I am going to be working very hard for the Carrboro Community Coali tion to see that the wool is not pulled over the voters' eyes," she said. Students' questions answered by Action Line Council to hear zoning requests BY MICHELLE ClIRISTENBURY .Merrjtt,, .sid.fhq inlnsHyrpf,vpi-3. i w DTHStoft write. '. joV.PWwPMW JtMunusoUhe,areai :. t - "Directlv across Pittsboro. Street is an At a public hearing Tuesday night, the Chapel Hill Town Council heard appli cants' requests for a zoning map amend ment to allow a new Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house, and a request to allow Wendy's restaurant to construct a drive in window. The purpose of the public hearing was to give council members a legal basis to vote on these proposals at the next Town Council meeting Oct. 3. Ron Merritt, a member of the alumni board of the Sigma Phi Epsilon frater nity, requested a zoning map amendment to allow construction of a new house on the Cameron Avenue site of the existing house which would sleep 44 men. 4 The fraternity presently owns two ad joining lots at the corner of Pittsboro . Street and West Cameron Avenue. The Sig Ep house presently on the property houses 27 men. The fraternity is applying for a zoning map amendment from 01-1, as the property is now zoned, to OI-3,' which designates property for highly in tense use. area presently zoned 01-3, which includes the Carolina Inn. Within 300 feet of the property is the Granville Towers residence complex, with its highly intense use. "Another advantage to the larger fra ternity house would be a decrease in de mand for rental housing in Chapel Hill," Merritt said. The Chapel Hill Planning Board and staff recommended that the property be amended to an 01-2 classification instead of an OI-3 classification. ' Chapel Hill Planning Director Mike Jennings said Wednesday, "In evaluation of the applicant's request, we felt that the OI-3 zone allowed a number of uses we didn't feel were compatible to the area which is in a transition between the in tense uses of the Carolina Inn and the UNC campus. "The OI-3 classification has no height requirements and makes no stipulations as to how close to the road someone can build. However, a OI-2 classification would be appropriate." . ' vv Also under consideration was a request for a special use permit modification to change what is now a walk-up window at Wendy's, restaurant and make it a drive in window. Th.restaucantas,ilQcate4.ont' Scarlette Drive rieaTUiSV '15501. Attdr-" ney Doug Hargrave represented the owners in their application. "The use is designed to maintain and promote the public health, safety and general welfare," Hargrave said. "There will be no parking conflict since the drive in window traffic will be directed by lanes, islands and strips to separate pass-through-traffic from drive-in traffic. Under the present system, people park all over the lot and come from all angles to order at the pick-up window." Hargrave said that the nature of the area was different from downtown Carr boro, where another Wendy's restaurant is located. "There is a vast difference between this area and the Wendy's located downtown. We are in an area of high intensity auto use." , The Chapel Hill Planning Board re commended that the council grant the amendment to the special use permit with the following stipulations: Scarlette Drive should be widened, and a paved sidewalk should be provided along the front of the property. By LYNN EARLEY DTH Staff Writer Although the Action Line has suffered some problems from lack of publicity in the past, the service is now operating. Stu dents can find answers to seemingly unanswerable questions through the service. The Action Line number is 966-4084. A volunteer staff has information about practically any sub ject, and if they do not know. the answer, they know who does, Chairrnan of Student Services Becky Walser said. , QuestLomi about free .-flicks, tickets, addresses and dates of events are often addressed. Another common request is for in formation about sports events. "A lot of people want the num ber for Woollen Gym for the IM Program," Walser, a sopho more speech and communications major from Lexington, said. Action Line was originally a campaign promise by J.B. Kelly, 1979-1980 student body president. Last year its role was increased to include telephone surveys to give the Student Government input from the students, 1980-1981 Student Body President Bob Saunders said. Surveys were conducted on textbooks, food ser vice, student health, student aid and Chapel Thrill. Symposium to be held "Make That Move: A Symposium on Minorities in Communications" is sched uled for 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday in the upstairs lounge of Howell Hall. . The symposium, sponsored by the journalism school, will feature minority speakers from various mass media.. Re freshments will also be served. James Alexander of The Charlotte Observer, Roehelle Riley of The Greens boro Daily News and Janice Vaughn of WSOC radio in Charlotte are all scheduled to speak. ' " Its present program includes two specific affiliations. Action Line works directly with the Student Government tutorial ser vice Walser said, and plans to work with the Council on Aging to reorganize the Fraternity and Sorority Transportation Ser vice. Through this, each participating Greek organization pro vides rides for the elderly to appointments, stores and friends' homes. - The informational service can be a good way to give interested students a chance to get involved in Student Government, Walser said. "In the ideal sense, you'd like to have Action Line to provide a training ground," Saunders said. Information about a variety of organizations must be learned by the Action Line staff, so newer students can increase their ability by staffing the phones. Approximately 10 people work the Action Line, doing one or two one-hour shifts each week. The regular hours for the service are 1-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday and an answering service is used when noone is staffing the phone. .... The Action Line has experienced some problems this year and last year due to a lack of knowledge about the service, Walser said. Last year's staff considered ending the program but it is still hi operation.
