UNC sponsors bike safety day By LISA PULLEN Staff Writer "Carolina is or bicycling." That is the theme for Tuesday's Bike Day to be held from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the Pit. The event is being sponsored by Student Government's Parking and Transportation Committee along with the North Carolina Department of Transpor tation and the University police. The purpose of Bike Day is to en courage bicycling and greater adherence to bike safety, said Terry Bowman, chair man of the Parking and Transportation Committee. The event will include informational displays on safety and cycling laws by the DOT Bicycle Program and the University police. The UNC Cycling Club and North Carolina Bicycle Touring Society will of fer advice on the recreational aspects of bicycling. Representatives from Tumblewee3 Cyclery and the Trail Shop on Franklin Street will display equipment for bicycles and touring. In addition, cyclists may register their bicycles with the Chapel Hill Police Department free of charge. Those wishing to do so should bring their driver's license number and their bike serial number to the Pit. Trial date set for apartment - parking suit By JOHN CONWAY Staff Writer The legal battle between nine UNC students and Fox-, croft Apartments in Chapel Hill which began in March is one step closer to a final resolution.' A jury trial was scheduled for Nov. 29 at a pre-trial hearing in Orange County Superior Court in Hillsborough last Tuesday. Frustrated by the towing policy at Foxcroft, the students filed a legal suit on March 3, 1982, requesting a temporary restraining order to prevent any further towing at Foxcroft until the case was settled. Judge Gordon Bat-, tie denied the motion for a preliminary injunction. The plaintiffs made a motion for a permanent injunction at the conclusion of that hearing, which still is pending. -n .l V . t t i.; J ft 4 tvM(4 Carl Sagan: BROCA'S BRAIN: Recollections on the Romance of Science.

"Anyone down here with a bike is re Student Legal Services attorney David Kirkman, who represents the nine plaintiffs, said there still are two other matters to be settled in this case. First, the plaintiffs are at tempting to have a North Carolina general statute (GS 20-219.2) on towing declared unconstitutional. Secondly, the plaintiffs also are asking for actual and punitive damages totaling over $100,000. Kirkman said the state legislature passed a new towing statute during the summer that would allow private pro perty owners to have cars towed under supervision of the local police. The old statute, which is still in effect, allows private property owners to have vehicles towed at their discretion. With this new ordinance, the "police would be less arbitrary" about towing cars, Kirkman said.

Softbound. Pub at $6.95 Only $2.83 eaths could reach 45 in crash of American helicopter Sunday The Associated Press MANNHEIM. West Germany Authorities said Sunday that they now believe 45 people died in the fiery crash of a U.S. Army helicopter carrying an inter national parachute team, but it may take days to complete the grisly task of sorting out the victims. West German and American in vestigators, meanwhile, began probing the cause of Saturday's disaster, one of the worst chopper crashes on record. Witnesses said the big Chinook lost a rotor before it plummeted from a height of about 300 yards during the Mannheim Air Show and slammed into a nearby highway, where it exploded and burned. At first, authorities said they thought 44 people were aboard the giant Chinook helicopter five American crew members and 39 sky divers from several countries. Mannheim chief prosecutor Frank Peter Gletter told a news conference that officials now believe the chopper crew had only four members but a two-man televi sion crew from the U.S. Armed Forces Network may have been on board, raising the death toll to 45. Gletter stressed, however, that authorities still are not certain how many were on the chopper and do not know when they will be able to provide an ac curate count. they had little protection against having , their cars towed from their own complex. Chapel Hill revised its towing ordinance during the summer; it prevents cars from being towed from private property without police supervision and allows students a chance to appeal the towing. While pleased with these changes in towing ordinances, Kirkman said, the older statute should be declared un constitutional in order to prevent unfair towing. Norman Brame, a former UNC student who organized the drive to take legal action, said he still was optimistic about the case despite the sluggishness of the legal process. "We wouldn't have gone this far if we weren't op timistic," Brame said. The legal suit has had a desired ef fect in that towing has almost stopped at Foxcroft, Brame MITED RICHARD NIXON: THE REAL WAR.

Names were not released, but sources said they were believed to be members of the helicopter crew. A U.S. Army spokeswoman, Sgt. Linda Lee, said an Armed Forces Network crew was scheduled to cover the skydiving flight, but the Army is not absolutely cer tain they boarded the craft. A network spokesman in Frankfurt said he could not comment. So far, authorities have said the victims were believed to be seven Americans, 23 French, eight Britons, six West Germans and a Canadian. In addition to the helicopter and network crews, , the Americans may include another soldier, officials said. , , A witness said the Chinook hit a traf fic divider when ikcrashed, scattering debris across the four lanes of the normally crowded Mannheim-Heidelberg autobahn.

"I saw people darting out in the streets in front of cars and cars running red lights. I saw great numbers of people disobeying the laws." Although she supports the police de partment's enforcement of the law, the real solution to the pedestrian problem lies in the formationi of a better traffic flow pattern that puts a strain on neither pedestrians nor motorists, she said. The town is in the midst of preparing a new transportation plan for the town, she said, and it should be presented to the council by January. . Kawalec said people might think it is petty to enforce pedestrian traffic laws, but it- is not so petty if it means some body's life is saved. "I think it's an honest desire to deal with 20,000 additional people using a small space," she said. Stone said he has gotten some bad feedback since the enforcement policy was instituted, but he has seen a lot of violations and the department will con tinue to patrol the crosswalks. If pedestrians continue to disobey the traffic laws, he said, the department will have to begin issuing citations for walking against the light. The minium cost for that $31.
