Candidate fails to pay personal property tax B KAKKN HAYWOOD 1)111 Staff Wrifcr ' A Carrboro Board of Aldermen candi date said Tuesday that he had failed to pay personal property taxes after Alder man Steve Rose charged him with the omission during the WCHL candidate forum Monday night. John White, minister of the Carrboro United Methodist Church, 200 Hills borough Road, said that he had not been aware of the unpaid property taxes. However, White did file and pay the taxes Tuesday. "I am sorry and offer an apology to the citizens of Carrboro and Orange County for my failure in this important citizen privilege and responsibility," White said in a prepared statement. White, who lives in the church par sonnage paid $57.07 in city taxes and $55.28 in county taxes at the Orange County Tax Office Tuesday. "It was not an intentional matter to evade responsibility or to deceive the citi zens," White said. "The public concern for open government in Carrboro is so great that my omission will not be an issue on which my candidacy rests." . f : X - V .

Section two of the bikeways project includes the reworking of the Weaver and Main street intersection, moving that intersec tion to the east so Roberson Street is included, and adding a traffic signal. Section three of the bikeways project is the railroad spur bike path, extending from Roberson Street to the intersection of Cameron Street and Merrit Mill Road. Kingmoore Willis, a representative of the John C. Muse Com- AWACS pany presented a summary of the financial information in the 1980-1981 audit report at the Board of Aldermen meeting Tues day night. Willis said total revenues for Carrboro last year were $4,317,895 and total expenditures were $5,145,340. Carrboro has a general fund balance of $196,856, he said. Carrboro Town Manager Richard Hunter read a statement denying remarks attributed to him at WCHL's candidate forum Monday night. Hunter said the statement, made by alderman candidate Joyce Garrett, accused him of predicting a tax in crease. ; - "I did hot say that or anything like that to her," Hunter said. "In fact, I had said just the opposite that there would not have to be a significant tax increase next year." From page 1 By LYNN PEITHM AN DTH Staff Writer This year's Homecoming activities are beginning to firm up, Carolina Athletic Association president Steve Theriot said. - During halftime, CAA has asked former Carolina football and baseball star Steve, Streater to crown the Homecoming queen. "We wanted to get a football figure who was known to both students and alumni,'; Theriot said. "That's going to be fan tastic." " ,'; : Theriot said the CAA had received a good response with Homecoming queen nominees. Any group can sponsor a Home coming queen nominee. Applications can be picked up at the CAA office in Suite A of the Union. Applications and the $25 entry fee, which goes toward flowers, the crown and publicity, should be submitted no later than Nov. 2 to the CAA office. Any registered, fee-paying, male or female, graduate or undergraduate student can run. The election will be Nov. 5 and the queen will be announced during halftime at the Homecoming game Nov. 7 against Gem son. The polls will be open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Student Union; the' Y. Court, Chase cafeteria and the Scuttlebutt. This year, the CAA is in charge of the election as far as initia ting the publicity for Homecoming queen, and the Elections Board is going to supervise the election and vote counting. A bill outlining this procedure will go before the CGC at the end of this semester. "This way, we (the CAA) won't have to worry about Home coming queen elections next year. It'll be more concrete," Theriot said. All Homecoming queen nominees will appear in the Home coming parade Nov. 6, but only the top eight nominees will appear during the halftime show because of lack of time. CAA gets only six minutes to crown the queen and introduce the court. . The Order pf the Bell Tower, an organization that has been helping the CAA with Homecoming this year, is sponsoring a banner contest for the Clemson game. The winner will receive a . keg. , . Next week, the CAA will sell Tar Heel tattoos near the Pit for students to wear on their faces at the game. Several bars downtown will offer draft beer for 25 cents to those wearing the tattoos on their faces. The afternoon of Nov. 5, a pep rally with the cheerleaders will be held in the Pit. The Homecoming parade on Nov. 6 will start at Boshamer Stadium and end at Ehringhaus field. After the parade, the group, Hege and the Heartattackers, will play. Theriot said he also wanted to see Carolina blue at the game in students' garb and in balloons that the Sweet Carolines will be selling for block sections. armed with AWACS will tip the balance in the Middle East against Israel, wrote in his letter that conditions had been impos ed to assure that would not be the case. The president pledged that U.S. per sonnel would be able to monitor both air and ground security arrangements to pro tect secrecy of the high-technology planes. He also said Saudi cooperation in Mideast peace progress would be a condi tion on the sale. If the Saudis violate any of those agree ments, Reagan told the Senate, "the sale will be cancelled and no equipment or ser vices will be delivered." The Saudis have agreed to use the AWACS defensively only, Reagan said, and would share radar information with U.S. personnel. That, he said, precluded any possibility that the planes could be used to coordinate an Arab attack against Israel. "This sale will enhance our vital na tional security interests by contributing tobacco directly to the stability from the Middle East to North Africa," Reagan wrote. And he said the sale "will improve sig nificantly the capability of Saudi Arabia and the United States to defend the oil fields and facilities on which the security of the Free World depends, and it will pose no realistic threat to Israel." Backers called the sale crucial to Rea gan's Middle East defense strategy, to protection of Saudi oil, and to drawing Saudi Arabia into Mideast peace efforts.

Another component of the tobacco program that will be scrutinized in the hearings is the price support system, which critics of the program argue could put domestic tobacco crops in a less com petitive position with imported tobacco.

No legislative attacks on the program as a whole are an ticipated in the near future. "There will probably be breathing time (allowed) by opponents" to see if any constructive changes aie made by the hearings, Terrell said. The total elimination of the tobacco program would have had a catastrophic effect on the ecpnojfriy ofNorf h Carolina. ' ' - V . - - ' which has 44,000 tobacco farmers, Gov. Jim Hunt said last week. . Doing away with the entire program would not reduce tobacco consumption as the program's opponents contended, Terrell said. The reasoning " 'Tobacco is bad for you; let's end the program' doesn't work," he said. "It would just be pulling the financial rug out from under 270,000 tobacco farmers nationwide.1''. .'';;iD!).,-.. inn forr li 5i?in nrvnr. rnriT"? nrTPnr7 (So""1"3!
