Council approves s
ettlement
with developer

Staff Writer
The Chapel Hill Town Council ended a
suit against the developer of Booker
Creek Village Monday night by approv
ing four court-negotiated building permit
stipulations.
The council initiated the suit after a
November meeting in which developer
John Crumpton decided to add 10 units
to the approved 21-unit condominium
project. Crumpton then appealed the
decision to the Orange County Superior
Court, where the settlement was reached.
Under the settlement, nine out of the
. 10 units will be added, giving the project
a total of 30 units, and a five-unit
building will replace two smaller ones to
create more recreational space.
In other action, the council received a
statement on the thoroughfare plan from
Edison Johnson, engineer for the state
Department of Transportation, but the
council decided not to act on it. Johnson
discussed the need for clover-leafs on
U.S. By-Pass 15-501, but the council con
sidered such a proposal a design critera
and not part of the basic plan. The coun
cil said the plan would be submitted to
the state for approval as it had already
been developed. The thoroughfare plan,
which has been under consideration since
1979, has been delayed by disagreements
between Carrboro and Chapel Hill over
what the plan should include.
In further action, the Town Council
placed $296,000 of state Junds into the
Capital Reserve Fund.
The state granted the money to Chapel
Hill in exchange for fire protection ser
vice it provides to state-owned buildings -.
in the .town. Town Manager David
Taylor said the money would be held in
the capital fund because it had not been
budgeted for 1983-84. The council may
authorize the use of the money on capital
projects, but finance director Jim Baker
said he was "not aware of any specific
designation (of the funds) at this point."
Capital projects in the past have in
cluded building sidewalks, community
centers, and police headquarters, paving
roads and improving parks.

Half-cent boost in sales tax
under consideration J
By TOM SMITH
Staff Writer
The Orange County Capital Outlay Task Force will
meet today to consider recommending a half-cent local
option sales tax for the county, Richard Sharpless, chair
man of the task force, said Monday.
The half-cent boost in the sales tax would go in part
toward funding the capital needs and maintenance of
Orange County Schools. The option was passed by the
General Assembly last year as a method for counties to
raise additional revenue. So far, 87 of North Carolina's
100 counties have passed the tax. The counties that have
not yet levied it, in addition to Orange, are: Alamance,
Buncombe, Burke, Dare, Durham, Lee, Martin,
Mecklenburg, Person, Randolph, Pv.wihtw H
Wake counties.
. Sharpless said the task force was also considering a
bond issue as an option to increasing the sales tax.
Sharpless said either a special capital tax would be
levied or the usual sources of county revenues, such as
property tax, would be used to retire the bond issue if
that option was taken. In any case, the half-cent local
option tax could also be used.
If the sales tax is increased, 40 percent of the proceeds
during the first five years must be used for public school
capital outlay or to retire debt incurred from the outlay,
.according to George Long of the N.C. Department of
Revenue. During the next five years the tax is levied, at
least 30 percent of the revenue must be used for that pur
pose, he said.
Phyllis Sockwell, former chairperson of the Chapel
March 12 public hearing date for discus
sion on the use of a possible ,$360,00
federal community development grant.
The money, which the town hopes to
receive in July, 1984, was set aside for
Chapel Hill in July, 1983, by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban.
Development and will be given when the
, town's plan for using it is approved. The
money will improve housing, living en
vironments and economic opportunities
for the low to moderate income residents.
Council members Winston Broad foot
said the grant provided an "excellent time
to look at the possibility of a Human Ser
vices Advisory Board because the
Planning Board is up to its ears in (work
ing) with developers."
or county
Hill-Carrboro Board of Education, said the potential for
reducing the amount going to the schools was a major
drawback of the half-cent tax. After ten years, the com
missioners could determine what would be done with the
tax's proceeds, Sockwell said.
Sockwell said that, in contrast, imposing a local sup
plemental tax to retire a bond issue could have positive
effects. Part of the proceeds from such a tax could also
directly provide additional revenue for the schools, she
said.
Orange County Commissioner. Richard Whitfed, said
the task force was to present its recommendation to the
commissioners soon but they may not make a decision
today. Whitted said the county would have to hold a
public referendum to pass the half-cent increase.
UNC student robbed on campus
Two unidentified assailants robbed a
UNC sophomore of more than $600 in
cash and jewelry Tuesday afternoon on
the walkway between Davie Hall and the
Morehead Planetarium, according to
University Police Officer Ned Comar.
Bruce Kallor, a sophomore from
Melville, N.Y., was robbed of $70 in cash
and a family bar mitzvah ring that was
given to him by his grandfather.
According to Comar, the incident was
reported to authorities at 12:20 p.m.
Tuesday. The two assailants came up
behind Kallor and acted as if they were
carrying weapons, Comar said.
"He just yielded to what they said at
face value, and in my opinion that was
the wise thing to do," Comar said. "I'd
rather be alive without $670 than to be
dead."
One of the assailants was a white male
with blonde hair, Comar said. There was
no physical description given of the other
culprit.
Comar said the case was under in
vestigation. JIM ZOOK

Course on self-defense
far women to be offered
By BETH OWNLEY -Staff
Writer
The myth that women are the
weaker sex and unable to protect
themselves will be challenged by a self
defense course for women, said Maj.
Arnold Gold, instructor, and a
member of the Chapel Hill Police
Department.
The course is co-sponsored by the
Chapel Hill Police Department ' and
the Orange County Rape Crisis'
Center.
Gold said that much of the course,
which will begin late next week.would
deal with safety precautions and
building confidence in women
"It will also teach women to
become accustomed to being punched
and grabbed so they can learn how to
maintain their composure," Gold
said. The women will learn aspects of
boxing, wrestling, and karate as well
as how to use their ability to hit and
kick to their benefit, he said.
Gold said the course, however,
would not be able to teach women
how to decide whether to fight or to
give in to their attacker. He and his
assistants will discuss hypothetical
situations with the students, "but we
will probably never be ready to teach
anyone how to handle those situa
tions," Gold said.
Gold, who has taught self-defense
courses to more than 200 women since
1980, said that probably one or two
women in each of his classes had been
previously assaulted. Mary Ann Chap
of the Orange County Rape Crisis
Center said that while 52 rapes were
reported to the Rape Crisis Center in
1983, the figures did not necessarily
represent all of the rapes that occur
red, because some cases were not
reported.
Chap said in addition to the self
defense course, which it conducts, the
center also offers companion services
to work with rape victims.
"Companion services provide rape
victims with support and information
about medical and legal procedures,
Chap said.
The center also presents general
programs to community groups about
rape, sexual assault, and incest.
The six-week self-defense course
will be held on Saturdays, 9 p.m. to 1 1
p.m. at Umstead Recreation Center in
Chapel Hill and will run from
February 25-March 31. Enrollment
will be limited to 30 women.
Women interested in registering for
the course should call the Chapel Hill
Police Department at 968-2760 or the
Rape Crisis Center at 968-4647.
