Single-engine plane lies wrecked Friday in woods near Horace Williams Airport
... Maryland man injured in the crash is now in fair condition
Election is. Tuesday-
By DEAN FOUST
I)TH Slaff Writer
A Friday night airplane crash near Horace Williams Airport
that left one man injured has renewed citizens' concern over the
safety of having the facility located near a dense residential area
that includes two elementary schools.
The crash, the third near the airport since February, left a
Cumberland, Md., pilot in serious condition at N.C. Memorial
Hospital after he attempted an emergency landing of his single
engine Piper Comanche plane.
John Green, a 34-year-old Cumberland attorney, was moved
from intensive care Sunday night and was listed in fair condition
after suffering severe forehead cuts and a broken ankle, hospital
sources said.
Green was traveling from Maryland to South Carolina when
he crashed in a wooded area behind Elizabeth Sea well Elemen
tary School about 10 p.m. Friday. Ed Lamm, flight control
learn supervisor at Raleigh-Durham Airport, said the crash oc
cured because of a malfunction of the governor controlling pro
pellor rotation, causing Green to lose control of the plane.
The search for the plane, which lasted two hours, involved the
efforts of the Civil Air Patrol, the South Orange Rescue Squad,
the Orange County Sheriffs Department and Chapel Hill and
Carrboro police and fire departments.
The three accidents at the airport since February have in
cluded two fatal crashes. In the first, which claimed the lives of
seven people, a pilot tried to land his plane in rain and fog in
early February. In June, a crash killed a UNC adjunct professor
whose plane went down after takeoff.
Last week, a pilot was forced to make an emergency landing
without the use of his landing gear.
The latest crash has amplified the concerns of a citizens group
that has attempted to have the UNC-owned airport closed.
The group, Citizens for Airport. Planning, has arranged a
special meeting Thursday morning with the Chapel Hill-Carr-boro
school board, the University, Chapel Hill's Chamber of
Commerce and the Town of Chapel Hill, spokesperson Julianne
Andresen said.
Andresen said the biggest objection of the group was that the
airport is located in an area that contains the two schools, which
enroll 1,300 children.
'There was very little thinking that went into the planning of
the airport," she said. "The runways are pointed straight at the
schools, which are only 800 yards away."
Andresen said a major misconception held by the public was
that the airport was built .before the schools. The schools, built
In the 1950s, preceded the originally-dirt runway.
Paved in 1970, the airport has seen its heaviest use in recent
years. Andresen said 90 percent of the airport's use is
recreational.
"As long as you have the airport, you'll have emergency
landings," she said. "With the present location of the airport,
the situation is just too dangerous."
Council candidates stress new budget
By MICHELLE CHRISTENBURY
DTH Staff Writer
Candidates for four Chapel Hill Town
Council seats in Tuesday's election have ex
pressed varying views on key issues during
their campaign. -
One of those issues the eight-member board
has faced is the 1981-1982 town budget and
taxes.
Incumbent Bill Thorpe said he supported
the new budget because he wanted to see town
services continued at their present level.
Incumbent Joe Herzenberg agreed.
"The reponsibility of local government is
greater now than it has been for some time,"
Herzenberg said. "But the government's main
responsibilities remain the same providing
basic services as well as transportation, recre
ation and housing."
Incumbent Marilyn Boulton said the coun
cil should review all town-supplied services.
"Close attention needs to be directed not
only to the levels of service, but also to dis
tinguish between essential and desired pro
grams," she said.
Winston Broadfoot agreed.
"I would like to see some economy in gov
ernment," Broadfoot said. "I don't think that
money is being wasted, but I think we have to
jiold back on the total amount spent,'..; w:
Incumbent Bev Kawalec said the council
needed to evaluate citizen input on the matter.
"Citizens may have been telling us during
the budget procedures that we have been ex
panding services faster than they could keep
paying for them," she said. "We need to con
tinue providing the services but not, hopefully,
raising the taxes."
Other candidates are also strongly opposed
to raising taxes.
"My main concern is for the welfare of the
taxpayers of Chapel Hill, especially those peo
ple on fixed incomes," William Lindsay said.
"Those people are in desperate trouble be
cause they can't keep up with the enormous
tax increases. The property taxes are so bad
that people are having to move out of Chapel
Hill."
David Pasquini and Al Mebane agreed.
"It appears that the present city council
isn't real responsive to the needs of some of
the citizens, especially a large number of citi
zens that pay real estate and property taxes,"
Pasquini said. "One thing I would like to do is
review very closely the money that's coming in
and the money that's going out."
"The council may be spending money on
things that the citizens may not necessarily
agree with," Mebane said. "The council's
lack of ability to communicate with the citi
zens is evidenced by the number of people who
were shocked by the (property) tax increase."
The candidates also addressed several stu
dent issues.
Lightning Brown said most students on
campus are concerned with housing.

Factions important in alderman race
By GREG BATTEN
DTH Staff Writer
In a campaign that has been heated at times,
two factions with differing views of Carrboro
town government have emerged to play a key
role in Tuesday's elections for three town
Board of Aldermen seats.
Six candidates Hilliard Caldwell, Braxton
Foushee, Joyce Garrett, Doug Sharer, Jim
White and Nancy White are running for the
seats on the six-member board.
Incumbents Foushee, Sharer and Nancy
White are members of the Carrboro Com
munity Coalition, while the Association for a
Better Carrboro includes Caldwell and Garrett.
Although candidate Jim White is not a member
of either group, he has aligned himself with
ABC in the final weeks of the campaign. ,
The candidates largely agree that the major
issues are the openness of town government,
Financial management and the handling of the
bus system.
Jim White said a new approach was needed
in Carrboro government.
"We need better citizen involvement in our
town," he said. "We need to take the govern
ment back to the people."
Nancy White, on the other hand, defended
the current government and the incumbents.
"The incumbents think we have done a
good job and deserve to continue governing,"
she said.
In announcing his bid for re-election, in
, cumbent Foushee said bikeways, buses and the
new community park were evidence of the in
cumbents' accomplishments.
Caldwell said he hoped voters, especially
students, would consider all the issues.
"Personally, I think the Coalition has
misused the students," Caldwell said. "The
bus system is a good example of this misuse."
Caldwell said it was a top concern of his
that bus services not be cut.
"It was the tax increase that I opposed (in a
bus-funding referendum last year) instead of
favoring bus service cuts," he said.
Garrett, a UNC law student, also says more
citizen involvement in Carrboro government is
needed.
"Our main problem is that we do not have
an open government," she said in announcing
her candidacy. "People cannot go to Town
Hall and have their views welcomed."
Garrett said Carrboro needed to steer away
from the type of government the incumbents
now operate. She claimed decisions relative to
public business have been made at Coalition
meetings. .
In announcing for re-election, Sharer denied
charges that the power of the Coalition has led
to a more closed Carrboro town government.
"Sixty-five percent of town board members
and committees are non-Coalition members,"
Sharer said.
Nancy White also denied the charges against
the Coalition.

Incumbent mayor faces two challengers
By KAREN HAYWOOD
DTH Staff Writer
Carrboro voters may choose between in
cumbent Robert Drakeford, Roger Messer
and Bilf Pressley in the mayor's race Tuesday.
Drakeford, a member of the Carrboro
Community Coalition, said the key issue in
Tuesday's vote was whether the town could
continue on the progressive path it had follow
ed in the last few years.
"We had a game plan of needs that were
very big six years ago," he said. ','We have ac
complished some of those needs, but to keep a
progressive attitude in government we need to
continue. the government that is here."
Drakeford's plans for economic growth in
clude encouraging additional sites for indus
trial development, encouraging businesses to
locate in town and encouraging further com
munity development, he said.
Drakeford said it was important to make
people understand what he called the Carr
boro story.
"The Carrboro story is one of unexcelled
progress, very positive achievements, one
where everybody is rated equally regardless of
his standing in life," he said.-
Responding to displeasure over Carrboro's
tax increase last year, Drakeford said:
"Nobody likes taxes. .We as a government
have kept taxes down well below similar
governments.
"People who have used taxes as their main
issue are really masking the fact they have no .
issue. They will spend the next three years fin
ding their way to the rest room in city govern
ment," he said.
Drakeford said he had a proven record of
helping his constituents.
"All the other people in the race are talking
about what they might do, having no real con
cept of what the office involves,", he said.
Roger Messer, a former Coalition member
and now a member of the Association for a
" Better Carrboro, said he represented a change
in Carrboro government.
"I am not tied to past mistakes. I can mend
fences in Carrboro. And there are a lot of
fences that need to be mended because of ac
tions of the present Board (of Aldermen)," he
said.
Messer said he could redevelop Carrboro's
downtown area, but that he had to have the
support of the businessmen who were already
there. .
"That support. doesn't exist now," 'he said.
Messer said he would establish a task force
of five. to six people, give them three months
to review past studies and suggestions and
then chart a course that would solve businesses'
problems.
Historic conservation is another important
issue, Messer said.
He said that as chairman of the town's ap
pearance commission, he was instrumental in
contracting a historic survey. He recommended
that the survey be implemented, so that Carr
boro could qualify as a historic district.

UNC law profes sor test ifie
to East panel about busing
By TAMMY DAVIS
DTH Staff Writer
Busing to achieve racial desegregation was the
topic of Senate subcommittee hearings last month,
and Professor Daniel Pollitt of the UNC Law School
was among four legal experts to testify.
Pollitt appeared in early October
before the panel, chaired by Sen. John
East, R-N.C. Pollitt recently explained
the nature of the hearings and of the bus
ing question.
"The busing issue has been something
that people have been concerned about
since 1954, when the Brown decision
came down," he said. "Senator East cares
about it, and he is probably confronted
often about it." '

Pollitt
Pollitt said the bill, written by North Carolina
Sens. East and Jesse Helms, was introduced to take
from the federal courts the authority to hear cases in
volving busing, school prayer and abortion.
"Busing is part of the package," Pollitt said. "He
(East) thought the Supreme Court had run wild in
some areas and that the legislative branch was closest
to the people and that it was first amongst equals. It's
time that this branch asserted the moral values of the
people."
East had held three series of hearings since Sept.
30. The second hearing combined four lawyers
Injured Heels
rally for win
despite errors
By CLIFTON BARNES

COLLEGE PARK, Md. Turnovers and penal
ties kept the Maryland-North Carolina game close, as
neither team could put the game out of reach.
But the No. 9 Tar Heels, riddled with injuries,
managed to come back from a 10-7 deficit to beat the
Terps 17-10 here Saturday.
"We just can't give the No. 9 team in the nation
the ball like we did and continue to hold them off,"
Maryland coach Jerry Claiborne said after the game.
"We blocked a field goal and picked it up and fumb
led it again.-1 can't think of anything more that can
happen to us."
That fumble set up the Tar Heels first score a
1-yard drive by tailback Ethan Horton, who started
for injured Tyrone Anthony in a surprise move by
UNC coach Dick Crum.
The Heels held a 7-0 lead for so long that folks
started thinking the game might end that way. But
within five minutes in the second half, the Terps,
helped by two crucial UNC penalties, tallied 10
points to take a 10-7 lead.
"On offense, we got a little conservative in the
third quarter," senior receiver Jon Richardson said.
"We had trouble moving the ball, but we came back
in the fourth quarter and opened it up."
On defense, UNC controlled the running game all
day, allowing only 9 yards. The passing of Maryland's
Boomer Esiason, however, was a different story.
Esiason threw a 41 -yard pass to Mike Lewis, who
ran to the UNC 4-yard line. Esiason passed to tight
end Bill Pugh from there for the score and the 10-7 ad
vantage. ,
That's when the UNC offense, led by quarterback
Scott Stankavage, started to roll.
"They shut off .our running game," said
Stankavage, who went 17-24. "So we put the ball in
the air and started moving it a little bit."
two for busing and two opposed. Pollitt, among the
oppqsed, was chosen because of his active interest in
the issue.
"East explained the bill and then asked for com
ments," he said. "But what really happened was that
, he. and I sort of carried on a dialogue, and
thei3thers Would interrupt."
In addition, to his testimony, Pollitt
submitted testimony from some of his
students.
"I had a seminar that met regularly this
semester, so I enlisted them," he said.
"They had all been bused, so I asked
them to write a history elaborating on
their experiences with busing and any
observations they cared to make."

. Pollitt submitted a general statement about the
theme of the papers. He said the papers proved bus
ing itself was not unpleasant. "It's expected and ac
cepted. If you're going to have school integration,
you're going to have busing," he said.
Pollitt also had two law students research and sub
mit a history of efforts by Congress to curtail the
Supreme Court's authority to declare an act of Con
gress unconstitutional.
The result of the hearings will not be evident until
the entire bill is introduced to the Senate.
