He made the state ment in a press conference at Town Hall Sept. 13. Anderson has been endorsed by the conservative Association for a Better Car rboro. "Although it's impossible, I'd like to be a man for all seasons, looking out for all the people," Anderson said. Government needs to be more respon sive to all the people and their needs, he said. Regarding the proposed Thoroughfare Plan for Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Anderson said he would have to examine the Franklin Street extension because, although it would be efficient, the project would also displace people. "The town does need to restructure the traffic flow of Carrboro," Anderson said. Zoning and revitalization of downtown Carrboro " the maior issues he said that will need to be addressed by the board. Anderson said the revitalization of downtown would require a step-by-step approach to ensure its success. Anderson said that he would like to 'spend the first year of his term watching the internal operation of town govern ment. He also said that residents need to be given more advanced notice of public hearings that directly concern residents and their property. Open government and more resident input and involvement with government will give the board a fresh outlook for new and money-saving ideas, he said.

Newcomer announces candidacy By DOUG TATE Staff Writer Zona Norwood, a newcomer to the local political scene, has officially an nounced her candidacy for a seat on the Carrboro Board of Aldermen. Norwood was endorsed by the Associa tion for a Better Carrboro at a press con ference Sept. 13. Norwood filed with the Orange County Board of Elections Friday. "I have a sincere desire to make Carr boro a better place to live," Norwood said. The Thoroughfare Plan, zoning and the revitalization of downtown Carrboro are going to be the major issues in the November elections, she said. Norwood said she favors the extension of Franklin Street as proposed by the Thoroughfare Plan, because it would in crease traffic flow in Carrboro. Norwood said she would like to see another female on the Board only because it would better represent the general population. Carrboro has a large percen tage of working women and an additional female on the Board would give the Board the male-female balance reflected in the population, she said. Presently, Joyce Garrett is the only woman on the Board. In addressing the student community of Carrboro, Norwood said that the students must consider Carrboro their home and should get involved. "Everyone of us has an obligation, a responsibility to be involved in the things that affect our lives," Norwood said. Norwood, a 14-year resident of Carr boro, said she saw herself as an average citizen and thought that was what the Board needed. Norwood is the administrative assistant to UNC President William C.

The collection, which is housed in Wilson's basement, comprises almost 70,000 scarce books, pamphlets and manuscripts dating from 2100 B.C. Con temporary books produced by obscure publishers are also housed in the collec tion. The collection is especially strong in the areas of incunabula (books printed be tween 1450 and 1501), early British authors and Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1929 the Hanes Foundation for the Study of the Origin and Development of the Book donated a large collection of ear ly books and manuscripts to the Universi ty, thus founding the rare books collec tion. Since then, it has grown through gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the University. Some donors contribute books to the collection while others give money with which collection head Paul Koda can purchase books from dealers and other sources. No books are purchased with state funds. The collection was substantially en riched with a recent gift of 300 16th cen tury books donated by the Hanes Founda tion, Koda said. "The Hanes family has always been very generous to us," Koda said. "We're very glad to have this particular collection." The gift consisted of books produced by the Estienne family, the most important publishing house and the major source of important information during the 16th century. Koda is proudest of the incunabula col lection. The printing of books on movable type began in 1450 and the books of the in cunabular period provide a history of the development ot printing in Western. Europe. "We have the best collection of these books in the Southeast," Koda said. Books in the collection are available for use to all University students and faculty. "Any student or faculty member need ing to use the collection is welcome," Koda said. "That's why we're here." Books cannot be removed from the rare book room and notes may be taken only in pencil. Some books are so fragile that only an employee of the room may handle them. "Our collection is a research collection and not a museum collection," Koda said. "Our primary purpose is to acquire materials for student and scholarly study." During the renovation of Wilson Library, the collection will be moved into the vacated stacks, Koda said. When the renovation is complete, it will be located on the seventh floor of Wilson, where the reference room presently is located. New fraternity house dedicated Saturday Vi From staff reports The brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity officially dedicated their new $750,000 house on Cameron Avenue Satur day. ;: ; Donald Boulton, vice chancellor of student affairs, participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Boulton said the fraternity's motto for the new house was ap propriate pride in the past, promise for the future. The new chapter house symbolizes a new direction of leadership among fraternities on campus, he said. "This new chapter house has been planned for several years," said Chip Medlin, fraternity president. "The brothers of Sig Ep have worked long and hard to see that this house would be built. I think we can all take pride in our accomplishment." Construction of the three-storv chanter house began in Zona Norwood Elementary School and Phillips Junior High School Parent-Teacher Association and, president of the Carrboro Garden Club. February. Some complications in construction developed when the Town of Chapel Hill required an elevator be installed for handicapped access to the house. Installation of the elevator add ed $50,000 to the cost of the house. : Security Building Co. of Chapel Hill projected a completion date of mid-August. However, construction was not completed until Friday, forcing the brothers to. live in the former Zeta Tau Alpha sorority house on Pittsboro Street. The sorority house is owned by the University. ! The new house was designed by Raleigh architect John Farabow and features a colonial Williamsburg architecture. Medlin said 41 brothers will live in the new structure, compared to a capacity of 32 in the old house. The house will be ready for occupancy Saturday, when furni 'ture and kitchen equipment are moved into the building. Reagan: long way to go to solve Mid East problems The Associated Press NEW YORK President Reagan, displaying crossed fingers, said Sunday a Lebanese cease-fire agreement announced by U.S. officials "is a first step." But the president said there is still "a long way to go" in solving the troubled Middle East nation's problems. As he spoke, shelling continued on U.S. Marine positions in Beirut, despite comments from U.S. officials here and in Beirut that all parties had agreed to a cease-fire at 7:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m. EDT. One Marine was injured in the latest attack, bringing to three the number wounded Sunday. The president, with U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar at his side, spoke by telephone with Lebanese President Amin Gemayel early in the afternoon. . ... -iri . . - Reagan then told reporters who asked, about' uae.' cease-fire "Now they can get down to the real business of settling the issues and bringing about a solution to the Lebanese problems. We are all very happy about this first step." An hour and a half after the renewed attack in Beirut, Reagan was asked if he thought the cease-fire would hold, and he once again held up crossed fingers. As he made the announcement, the president kept his fingers crossed and said, "It is a first step." Reagan said that the Syrians "are evidently cooperating with this" and that "Saudi Arabia had a very definite hand in bringing about this first step." He declined to answer a question about what impact the cease fire would have on the length of the deployment of the U.S. Marines, who are part of the multi-national peacekeeping force in Lebanon.

Latham said his girlfriend applied his makeup for him but, "she didn't want to be seen with me." He called his mother after the game, Latham said, and she was happy he won.

Marines have suffered recurring casualties since a major civil conflict erupted. Police said the overall Lebanese casualty toll on Sun day stood at 788 killed and 1,647 wounded. U.S. warships offshore have retaliated for recent Druse attacks on Marine positions by shelling the sect's mountain strongholds with five-inch guns. The New Jersey, the world's only active battleship, has 16-inch guns. Four Marines have been killed and 33 wounded in Beirut since Aug. 29. Two were killed and 13 wounded in street battles between the Lebanese army and Shiite militiamen a week before the new round of fighting broke out between the army and Syrian-backed Druse militiamen after Israel pulled its troops out of the mountains Sept. 4. The other two Marines were killed Sept. 6. Before Sunday's cease-fire announcement, state radio said the Lebanese army was exchanging artillery fire with Druse militiamen around the army's strategic garrison at the mountain town of Souk eUGharb nine miles southeast of Beirut. Capturing Souk el-Gharb would allow the Druse to link up with the Druse-controlled town of Shweifat and with Shiite militiamen who control Beirut's southern shims. Marine spokesman Jordan, -meanwhile, denied a re port earlier confirmed by the Marines that a U.S. helicopter fired, back with .50 caliber machine guns when it was shoot at over Bourj el-Barajneh on Satur day. He said witnesses must have seen sunlight glisten ing on the chopper's gun barrel. .

Everett Jor dan Lake should not be used for drinking. - The regional planning agency originally recommended that the lake be used for swirnming and drinking. But Nassif presented a study showing dangerous chemicals were entering the lake from a tributary. "We have a problem, and that problem is that we don't know how these chemicals affect humans," Nassif said. , .' The study, conducted by UNC, found 52 dangerous chemicals in the Haw River, a Hbmary of the lake. Nassif said there was no indication that the chemicals were harmful to humans, but that further study should be conducted before the agency recommends that the waters be used for drinking.
