Activists in By VIRGINIA TRULL DTH Staff Wrilcr Students from across the southeastern United States will meet at UNC Saturday to participate in a conference titled 'Meeting the Challenge of the 80s." The conference is sponsored by the Southern Student Activist Network. Sponsors said this week it was not to be a militant demonstration but a carefully planned group effort to address issues facing students concerned about a variety of social and political issues. 'A lot of students in Chapel Hill see that there are activist things they are in terested in, and they really haven't had anywhere to go to meet older people and work on them," said David Crohn, chair person of the UNC Coalition for Social Justice, one of the sponsors of the event. The Coalition and other campus or ganizations, including the Black Student Movement and Americans for Common Sense, are affiliates of the SSAN, re gionally based in Durham. The SSAN was formed in March 1980, in reaction to the shooting deaths of five Communist Workers Party members in Greensboro in November 1979. "Several students saw different things happening in our country and decided to form SSAN," said Robert Schultz, re gional coordinator. The organization works with groups throughout the South, as well as the Pro- Beatty's 'Reds' nominated for 12 Oscars The Associated Press HOLLYWOOD (AP)Reds, the story of an American journalist caught up in the Russian Revolution, captured 12 Academy Award nomina tions Thursday four of them for Warren Beatty, the actor, director, producer and writer who has failed to win an Oscar in seven tries. A On Golden Pond collected 10 nominations for the 54th Academy Awards, including best actor perfor mance by Henry Fonda as a man reluctant to face old age. Fonda, 76 and in poor health, has never won an Oscar and is considered a strong sen timental favorite. Fonda's daughter, Jane, a two-time Oscar winner, was nominated best supporting actress for portraying his daughter in On Golden Pond. The three other nominees for best picture were Atlantic City, the story of an aging, small time hood in the gambling resort; Chariots of Fire, an inspirational account of British run ners overcoming prejudice, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, a fast-paced adventure that grossed more money than any other film last year. Beatty, who portrays journalist John Reed in the VA-hova epic, also was nominated for four awards in 1978 for Heaven Can Wait, but won nothing. Competing with Beatty and Fonda for best actor are Burt Lancaster as the hero in Atlantic City, Paul Newman as the innocent victim of ir responsible journalism in Absence of Malice and Dudley Moore, the over privileged inebriate of Arthur. Katharine Hepburn who has won three Oscars and been nominated 13 times was named a best actress con tender for her role as the peacemaking wife and mother in On Golden Pond. The other nominees are Diane Keaton as Reed's lover Louise Bryant in Reds, Marsha Mason as the reform ed alcoholic actress in Only When I Laugh, Susan Sarandon as the girl Lancaster falls in love with in Atlantic City and Meryl Streep as the title character in The French Lieutenant's Woman. Bo ardcertif ies 13 CGC races Thirteen of the 23 Campus Governing Council district races were certified by the Elections Board Thursday, and the Senior class president and vice-presential race was declared a runoff. The runoff will be between the joint ticket of Scott Phillips and LuAnn Craft and that of Mark Edwards and Chris Miller. Certification of the remaining CGC district races and a possible runoff for the Graduate and Professional Student Federation president will be decided to day. In the GPSF presidental race, Peter Mallinson is the top vote-holder. If the next two or three write-in candidates withdraw as possible candidates, Mallin son will be declared the winner, Election Board Chairman Mark Jacobson said Thursday.

Schultz has been trying to organize a group in North Carolina for more than a year, and the conference is its first official function. The conference will be held in the Carolina Union, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; activities include lectures and work shops. Gail Pharis and Mickey Michaux will speak at 10, and Janice Fine and Nelson Johnson will lecture at 2:30. Pharis, a Maryknoll nun who has worked in Central America, will speak on Central American liberation movements. Michaux, currently a N.C. candidate for the U.S. House, was among those who recommended prosecuting the men accus ed in the murder of anti-Klan demonstra tors in Greensboro. Fine, the national chairperson for the United States Student Association, will discuss the effects of Reaganomics on the college student. Johnson is founder and national chairperson of the Student Or ganization for Black Unity, a major black organization in the 1970s, and a member of the Communist Workers Party. Eight workshops will be held simul taneously from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. "Since we're trying ; to encourage activism," Schultz said, "it (workshop scheduling) will force them' (the students) to choose a workshop in which they have a commit ment." . These , workshops will cover United States involvement in Central America and relations with South Africa, as well Density is town's concern eevalniatioii might solve zoning proMemas By ALAN MARKS DTH StalT Writer Problems with Chapel Hill's zoning or dinance may have been solved in a nine month re-evaluation process recently completed by the town's planning .board, officials said this week. Many Chapel Hill residents have ex pressed dissatisfaction with the contro versial document because they felt it would allow owners of property on unde veloped land to build or convert their houses to duplexes. Because of public concern over the or dinance, the Town Council adopted a resolution directing the planning board to re-evaluate it and present its recommen dations to the" ediMitf i ' WMertfymaer change havel)een Area citizens organize By JULE HUBBARD Special to the DTH Dr. Charles Brady of Carrboro never favored con struction of the B. Everett Jordan Dam on the Haw River. And now, as water fills the 14,000-acre reservoir in Chatham County, he and some others are predicting that the lake will be too polluted to provide drinking water or recreation, the reasons for which the dam was built. ' Studies on the water quality of the reservoir still are in complete, and some say it could be five years before a judgment on the usefulness of Jordan Lake can be made. In the meantime, Brady and a group of concerned citizens in Orange, Wake, Alamance and Chatham counties are organizing to clean the Haw River, to pn tect wild areas from U.S. 64 to Jordan Lake and to secure state scenic canoe-trail status for the river for recreational and educational purposes. Calling itself the Haw River Assembly, the group will have an organizational meeting with speakers at 1 p.m. Satin-day in the Agricultural Building in Pittsboro.

Leon Higginbotham Jr., 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge in Philadel phia, will deliver the fifth annual Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Lecture in "Race and the American Legal Process" at 8 p.m. today in Memorial Hall. Higginbotham, author of In the Matter of Color: Race and the American Legal Process, teaches law at the University of Pennsylvania and sociology at the univer sity's Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. Dr. Colin Palmer, chairman of Afro American studies at UNC and a member of the panel that chose Higginbotham for the lecture, said, "I was interested in getting a scholar to speak. Higginbotham, like King, combines scholarship with a concern for his fellow man." Higginbotham graduated from Vale University Law School and holds several honorary degrees. In 1976, he received the Martin Luther King Award for outstanding service in human rights. A U.S. district judge for 13 years before being named an appeals judge in 1977, he is also a former member of the Federal Trade Commission. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Lecture was started in 1977 to honor people who have dedicated themselves to the pro motion of human rights. Past lecturers have been Vernon E.

SSAN is charging $2 for the day's acti vities to help defray costs and is expecting 100 to 200 people to attend. "The conference is a unique oppor tunity for those different groups to get together and organize themselves," Crohn said. Schultz said the conference would have a twofold purpose. "The first is to say there is a student movement in North Carolina and to identify people who have been working on different issues. "The second aim is to mobilize stu dents for the Feb. 27 Fort Bragg, coali tion," he said. This non-violent demon stration will protest the training of Sal vadorean troops at Fort Bragg and Reagan's economic aid policies toward El Salvador, Schultz said. "It is important to have a strong show ing at Fort Bragg," Crohn said. Plans still are being made for transportation to and from the rally, and teach-ins are be ing arranged for the week preceding it. The conference is more than just a series of speakers and sharing of ideas, Crohn said. "It is a call for unity," he said. "In order to fend off Reagan's at tacks, the opposition must stand to gether. If we are fragmented, he (Reagan) can just dismiss each interest as one group of fanatics." made in the ordinance, small inconsis tencies in wording and a few other tech nical problems have been corrected, plan ning board chairman Roscoe Reeve said. A memorandum presented to the board at its Tuesday meeting by Chapel Hill Planning Director Mike Jennings, cited residential density as a major concern raised during the ordinance's evaluation. "Many people in town had the impres sion that it would create more density than it actually is," Town Council mem ber BevKawalec said. A principal concern in the density con troversy was the potential effect of re classifying R-20 property to the R-l dis trict. The old ordinance placed large unde veloped areas in the agriculture or R-20 district. The new ordinance puts these from now," Brady said. "But what we're doing can only help the Corps by cleaning up the lake." One purpose of Saturday's meeting, Brady said this week, will be to solicit input from land owners along the river and from other people on how the river's water quality can be improved and how the wild lands along the river can be protected. Brady, who grew up along the Rocky River in Chatham County, said that because the state didn't have funds to adequately' monitor pollution along the Haw River, the organization was ' considering citizen monitoring of the river. "There are some tremendous industrial powers upstream that we'll have to fight," he said. "I hope we'll ; be able to use facts instead of lawsuits." The organization will encourage farmers to participate in government programs that subsidize improvements that discourage soil erosion and sedimentation, Brady said. "We'll be working with county officials and land owners to protect wildlife habitat and undisturbed areas along the river." he said. "We don't want to alienate the land owners." Brady added that tax breaks were available to land owners who left their land undeveloped as "conservation On Feb. 15, 16 8c 17 $1.00 off of each pizza , Sold from the Domino's Pizza Store in Chapel Hiii , will go to the UNC Track Team fcr expenses to Domino's .

Kawalec said the reclassification was an admission by the council that the area had not been named or rezoned. There is little difference between dis tricts under the did ordinance and the new ordinance, she said. The ordinance was a complex docu ment that was difficult for even council members to understand, she said. Resi dential density became a campaign issue last November. "Neither the candidates nor the public had a thorough grasp of the ordinance," she said. Kawalec was elected to her se cond council term last fall.

He said about 50 percent of the river's pollution was from industrial and agricultural sources. The other half is runoff from sources such as street drains from ur banized areas around the river. "The state should have taken care of these pollution sources better before the project was begun," Brady said. : ; He said the organization would sponsor a Haw River Festival in April with raft races, bluegrass music and other festivities. "We want to direct attention at the historical and natural benefits of the river," he said. Brady said it would be difficult to overcome the river's image as one of the dirtiest rivers in the state. "It's right in the backyard of Greensboro, Raleigh and Durham, and yet-we haven't taken care of it," he said. "The river provides a sanctuary for preserving the . sanity of people in this heavily urbanized area," Brady said, adding that the organization wanted to 'make the Haw River an extreme source of pride in the area "The one thing that could make this go' would be to get students involved," he said.

UNC HILLEL "c r Monday Feb. 15 at 6:30 pm We want your ideas in making Hiliel and Jewish life on campus REACH HIGHEST, GREATEST POTENTIAL! February 12, 1932The Daily Tar Heel3 Airport plans to go before county board By ALISON DAVIS DTH Staff Writer Construction on the proposed Midway Airport and Airpark could begin this summer if the Orange County Board of Commissioners approves the plans and grants all necessary permits, architect Lee Mehler said Wednesday. Mehler is a member of Peloquin Associates, the planning and architectural firm that designed the airport and took over the project nine months ago when the owner Buck Mountain Develop menthad trouble getting approval for it. Mehler will present his plans to the county commissioners at a public hearing March 8 in an attempt to secure necessary special-use permits to build the airport and neighboring office park. The airport is to be located in Bingham Township, about 10 miles northwest of Carrboro. Although privately owned, the facility will be open for public use, -Mehler said. Plans for the airport feature "condominium-type hangars" for privately-owned airplanes and a hangar that could be used by the University. The University now uses Horace Williams Airport in Chapel Hill to house planes used by the Area Health Educa tion Center. Doctors use the AHEC planes to travel to clinics across the state. If the University decides to move its planes to Midway, HWA will be closed, said John Temple, vice chancellor of business and finance at UNC. "We would not' move immediately," he said. "We'd wait to see if the airport is of the right kind of quality first." The Chapel Hill Town Council has recommended that HWA be closed as soon as a new airport is available. Town residents have complained about the noise produced by planes at HWA. Because the Bingham Township is not heavily populated, noise from the Mid way runway will not be a serious pro blem, Mehler said. "There is a noise problem, but it's nunimal," he said. "We're trying to create as much buffer as can logically be created." Maintenance at Midway should be good. The - airpark an office and warehouse center will help pay for the airport's upkeep, Mehler said. Mehler's plans show 31 lots for offices and warehouses and one for a motel and restaurant: There are ncr clients for these Jbuildinisryet, hesaidX But Mehler expects businesses to pur chase the lots. "The locations will be desirable to corporations with planes," he said. "They may be able to keep them on their own land." Companies moving into the airpark must submit their building plans to Buck Mountain Developers and Peloquin Associates for approval. "We want to stop anyone from putting up a tin shed out there," he said. The developers and architects also must approve the type of building materials used, as well as the lighting and signs for the building. Mehler will request that the airpark signs be placed by the road. "We're going against the ordinance" that says signs must be on the buildings, he said. "Some of the buildings are 400 feet from the road," Mehler said. No one would be able to see signs that far away, he added; All approvals should be completed by April 1, he said. After the hearing, the plans must be approved by the Orange County Planning Department and Board of Commissioners. "We're creating a good situation," he said. "I expect the plans to be approved." another pretty place Only YOU Can Dodder Tho Future Of Hiliel. -Vo NEED: leadership ideas dreams enthusiasm
