Post-retreat funding request
by BSM is basis of CGC penalties
By MARK STINNEFORD
Staff Writer
The Campus Governing Council voted
Tuesday night to penalize the Black Stu
dent Movement for violation of Student
Government Treasury Laws.
The CGC, as part of a bill approving ac
tions of the summer CGC, charged that
the BSM had violated Treasury Laws by
requesting funding for a summer retreat
after the event had already been held.
When presented with the late requisi
tion, the summer CGC voted to pay the
$202 cost of the retreat with money
transferred from the BSM's telephone
budget. But it ruled that the BSM can only
replenish money taken from the phone
category by raising funds beyond those
already required by the organization's
. 1983-84 budget.
The CGC's action Tuesday affirmed the
additional fund-raising requirement.
Last April, the CGC approved a
$15,615 budget for the BSM, requiring the
BSM to raise $1,200 of the total.
Tuesday's action saddled the BSM with
raising an additional $200.
BSM President Sherrod Banks did not
attend Tuesday's meeting, but in an inter
view later, he said he had committed an
oversight in not requesting money for the
retreat as part of the 1983-84 budget.
But Banks said he had incorrectly
assumed money for the retreat would have
to come from the summer CGC.
Banks said that prior to the retreat he
had attempted to arrange a meeting with
Jack Mohr, summer CGC finance chair
man, and Rochelle Tucker, then acting
student body treasurer, to arrange a
transfer of funds from the telephone
category to pay for the retreat.
But, because he was working full-time
in Durham, Banks said he was unable to
arrange such a meeting. The retreat went
on as scheduled on July 12, and Banks
made the request for transfer of funds
following the event.
While admitting he acted improperly,
Banks said he did not realize he was
violating Treasury Laws.
The retreat could not have been
rescheduled because all arrangements had
been made and all Central Committee
members had been contacted, he said.
"It was the only time we could have the
retreat," Banks said.
CGC member Steve Reinhard (District
1), also a member of the summer CGC,
said the error was a careless mistake rather
than deliberate negligence by the BSM.
"We did not feel it would be fair to
penalize them and say, 'Eat the whole bill
yourself,' " he said.
Mohr said the penalty would remind the
BSM to obey the Treasury Laws without
taking money from any of the BSM
cultural subgroups which he said had suf
fered from money transfers in the past.
But CGC Finance Chairman Doc Droze
(District 22) said the CGC itself was
violating the Treasury Laws by passing the
bill.
Droze said the bill improperly takes
away the power vested in the student body
treasurer and Finance Committee chair
man by the Treasury Laws to approve
transfers of funds from different
categories of an organization's budget.
According to the bill, the BSM cannot
transfer funds into the phone category un
til it raises $200 above its $1,200 fund
raising quota.

.A.P.E. service rejuvenated
Sherrod Banks
The Treasury laws state that a group
may place money raised aboe its fund
raising quota in any category it desires,
Droze said.
The CGC should have referred the mat
ter to the Finance Committee for ap
propriate action, including the possibility
of freezing the BSM's funds, Droze said.
In an exchange following the meeting,
Mohr suggested Droze take up the matter
with the Student Supreme Court.
"We don't have to take up everything
with the Supreme Court," Droze said.
Banks said that the retreat, held at the
Pine View Conference Center in Carrboro,
was essential to the effective functioning of
the BSM.
With all but two of the 13 Central Com
mittee members being newly appointed to
their positions, the retreat helped members
get to know each other and learn to work
together, Banks said.
Banks said he could not ensure that the
BSM would meet its new fund-raising re
quirements. "It just depends on how the year goes,"
he said. "I can't make any promises."

A rejuvenated Rape and Assault
Prevention Escort Service is back in busi
ness this year to prevent assaults on UNC
women.
The service will go into action Sept. 12.
A series of assaults on women in the
spring in residence halls and apartments
near campus heightened the need for an
escort service, said Tim Severt, director of
RAPE.
Anyone wanting an escort for walks on
or near campus can call 933-7602 and give
their location, name, destination and de
sired meeting time. The caller will be put
on hold while an escort is contacted, and
names will be exchanged.
When the escort arrives, he will tell the
woman his name, and she should ask to
see his student ID, Severt said.
The hours of the service are 7 p.m. to 1
a.m., Sunday through Thursday.
Weekend escorts can be arranged if re
quested, Severt said. Escorts live in Olde
Campus and Morrison residence areas,
and they volunteer one hour a week.
"We want to revitalize rape escort,"
Severt said. "The volunteers are waiting
for calls, and if they don't get any, they're
disappointed."
There weren't many calls to the service
last year because of a lack of publicity, he
said.
Severt said he hopes to have at least 400
volunteers from Olde Campus and 200
from Morrison.
Dorm and floor coordinators chose pro
spective escorts for the service. The
volunteers' resident assistants and area
directors are also consulted in the screen
ing process.
The service has been given a $1,100
budget which is spent on phone bills for
two phones, publicity and office supplies.
The Olde Campus night attendants answer
the RAPEcalls.
The escort service was started in 1980 to
help the women of Carolina and give them
a feeling of security, Severt said. Joe
Buckner and a group of students in
Mangum Residence Hall organized the ser
vice with University housing.
University police Security Officer Ned
Comar said women often walk alone at
night, but they should realize they are tak
ing a risk.
"They've got the right to walk alone at
night, and I've got the right to swim the
Atlantic but my chances of reaching
Paris aren't very good," he said.
Comar said women should walk with a
friend or take the bus at night. They also
should walk in lighted areas and avoid the
woods around Kenan Stadium, he said.
"Women are most vulnerable when
they sleep with their doors unlocked," he
said. "Lock those doors."
Women also should keep an eye out
around their areas and call the police if
they see anything suspicious, Comar said,
adding that calls can be made anonymous-
ly.
Chapel Hill's traffic record cited by motor club
By KATHERINE SCHULTZ
Staff Writer
Despite the high volume of traffic on its highways, Chapel
Hill has not had any traffic fatalities in the past two years.
Chapel Hill has been recognized for two consecutive years by
the Carolina Motor Club for having no traffic fatalities inside
the city limits.
Factors contributing to town traffic safety include numerous
traffic lights throughout downtown and low citywide speed
limits, said master officer Greg Jarvies of the Chapel Hill Police
Department.
The highest speed limit in Chapel Hill is 45 miles per hour.
But Jarvies said that the town has its share of minor ac
cidents. Most are fender-benders that result from the conges
tion. During the rush hour, he said there are from 12,000 to
15,000 cars on the main roads.
Jarvies said that pedestrians can pose traffic hazards.
"Anyone who lives in Chapel Hill knows to expect the unex
pected from pedestrians," he said. "They are not a problem if
they stay congregated, but when one decides to go his own way,
it interrupts the flow of traffic and that's when accidents
occur."
The NCNB plaza crosswalk is the busiest in Chapel Hill and
will be monitored by foot patrol during rush hour," Jarvies
said. Jaywalkers can be cited under state law for dangerous
. movements against traffic, he said.
In discussing the congestion problem, Jarvies said that the
biggest problem area for motorists was at Stroud Hill, the long
winding stretch of East Franklin Street between the Chapel Hill
Public Library and the University Mall intersection.
"That curve has the highest speed in Chapel Hill and people
veer over the dividing lines into the oncoming traffic," he said.
Jarvies said that football games are not usually a problem for
the police department unless more than one area school is hav
ing a home game.
"We are used to dealing with football game traffic," he said.
"But when we have traffic going to Durham and Raleigh also,
then we really have problems."
One change that will occur duing football games this year is
the end of random parking. Fans used to be able to park in any
bare space available, including the grass and sidewalks.
