v 1 Four graduate departments recover funds Wednesday, April 11, 1984The Daily Tar Heel3 By RAY JONES Slaff Wriler The Graduate and Professional Student Federation Finance Committee voted to release frozen funds of four graduate departments Monday. Funds for graduate departments are frozen should the department senator miss at least three GPSF meetings, GPSF Treasurer Paul Killebrew said. The com mittee admonished senators for missing the meetings. "It's a way of keeping a check on their involvement," said former GPSF Presi dent Chris Capel. Fifteen percent of all graduate student fees are allocated by the GPSF, which works out of the Student Activities Fund Office. 1984-85 GPSF President Tom Terrell said that some graduate students were not concerned with attending meetings, be cause they do not know what the GPSF does. A representative from the chemistry department said, however, that "99 per cent of what GPSF does is allocate funds." Terrell said, "That's not really it at all. That's a very small percentage of what we do. These people don't care about GPSF until they can't use their funds. Then they complain to us." The chemistry, biology, speech com munication and recreation administration departments all were recommended by the Finance Committee as worthy of hav ing their funds restored. In other action, the cotnniiuee voted to recommend appropriating $300 to the English department to allow Robert Morgan, a Cornell University professor, poet and UNC alumnus, to speak at UNC in May. The committee also recommended the GPSF consider allocatingfunds to Odum Village, a family housing area for UNC students. The funds, which will be used to develop a food co-op, a babysitting co op, a welcoming committee, and other special projects, will be included as a part of the GPSF budget next fall, if the full body agrees. Two representatives from the School of Social Work were denied a funding re quest to attend a San Francisco conven tion on family therapy, but were en couraged to seek other sources and to return in the fall for a second try at funding. "An awful lot of the designated funds aren't used and end up coming back to us at the end of the year anyway," Killebrew pointed out. "We want them to use us and be involved." Chapel Hill decides to try for joint thoroughfare plan By MARJORIE MORRIS Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Town Council voted to wait two weeks before submitting its thoroughfare plan to the state depart ment of transportation Monday night, hoping to agree on a joint road plan with Carrboro. The council's decision to authorize Mayor Joe Nassif to select three council members to meet with three Carrboro aldermen before the two week deadline came as a result of a plea from Watts Hill Jr., the vice president for economic de velopment of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce. Hill said serious repercussions would result from Chapel Hill and Carrboro sending separate thoroughfare plans. He said he was afraid Chapel Hill and Carr boro would not be able to settle their dif ferences concerning the extension of Estes Drive. Chapel Hill Mayor Joe Nassif disagreed not only with Hill's concern over future Chapel Hill-Carrboro rela tions, but also with the council's decision not to go ahead and submit Chapel Hill's version of the thoroughfare plan. "Submitting our own thoroughfare plan does not mean we are severing re lations with Carrboro; we have cooperated on things before, andwe will continue to cooperate with each other," Nassifsaid. He said the problem was that Chapel Hill did not want the extension of Estes Drive past U.S. 15-501 to Interstate 40 in the joint thoroughfare plan, and Carr boro does. "We have tried to handle this diplo matically, but I think it is time we move on this project," Nassif said. "If Carr boro decides to call us, we would still be willing to discuss the joint plan." In other business Monday night, the council denied a request of alternate or dinances to rezone 3.1 acres at the southwest corner of West Lakeview Drive and Durham Boulevard from present rating residential-two. Condos set for July opening By DORA McALPIN Staff Writer A 51-unit luxury condominium cur rently under construction in Chapel Hill will be completed in July, after nine months of construction and almost two "years of planning. Located on Church Street, behind Col onel Chutney's restaurant, Chancellor Square will comprise five structures, four buildings of three stories each, and one of two stories. Prices range from $52,500 to buy a one bedroom, 650 sq. ft. unit, to. $71,500 for a three bedroom, 1,035 sq. ft. unit. According to Steve Mitchener of the Development Group of Chapel Hill, the firm supervising the operation, only two 1-bedroom units remain to be sold. Although a few of the units were bought by investors planning to rent them out to students, Mitchener said the ma jority of the units were purchased by families of UNC students. "The sole reason families buy con dominiums is because of the tax advan tages for parents," Mitchener said. He added that he expects the value of Chancellor Square to increase over time. The Ch!Urtrr"Stfeer site ,was'x;hosen-for"; the condominiums because of its proximi ty to campus;-about two blocks away''''-' O 0 U O O 0 0 The building site is even closer to the homes of some area residents. The con struction area is only about 20 ft. from Johannes Freeman's kitchen window on 309B Lindsay St. Many area residents said the construc tion noise was bothersome, but on the whole they said they saw no real problems with either the construction or the con dominium. UNC graduate student Adrianna Paliyenko of 209B Carr St. said she believed the condominium would upgrade the area. "I think it will change the face of this whole neighborhood," she said. Nikki Vangsnes of 211 Church St. said her only worry concerning the con dominium is for the safety of her children and other neighborhood youngsters. She said the increased traffic in the area after students move into the condominiums might be dangerous. "But I don't think we'll have any real problems with the students," she said. "I can't imagine that there are going to be a lot of rowdy people living there." "About noise, I think there will be a lot of complaints both ways," said James Fearrington of 309A Lindsay St. He add ed this was to be expected because of the closeness . of. the. ; condominium Jqa the., housing development in which he lives.

Discussion series focuses on women s career issues By CHERYL WILLIAMS ' Slaff Writer The Panhellenic Council will spon sor a series of lectures this week focus ing on women's career issues. The series, titled "Responsibility in the 80s," will continue through Thurs day in the Student Union. "The idea behind it (the series) is to provide career information for women, especially women who are graduating," said Julie Beaver, presi dent of the Panhellenic Council. Three lectures were held Monday. The first included a panel discussion by representatives from service organizations on campus. Represen tatives from the Mental Health Sec tion of Student Health Services, the Reading Program, the Student Development and Counseling Center and the Career Planning and Place ment Center outlined services their programs offered and answered ques tions from the audience.

"In the past we had projects organ ized on leadership that included the fraternities. The series is going on at the same time that Greek Week used to be held, but it is serving a different purpose. "We wanted to reach out and be a resource for women who may not be able to get this information anywhere else," she said. The lecture series will conclude with a reception held in conjunction with Panhellenic . Scholarship Ceremony Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Kappa Delta sorority house. RHA votes to support petition The Daily Tar Heel UNC 's s tuden t newspaper By LISA SWICEGOOD Staff Writer The Residence Hall Association voted 1 1-8 Sunday in favor of distribution of a petition to get 6,000 signatures to raise student activities fees. However, because of complaints from Residence Hall governors and other RHA members, RHA President Mark Stafford has decided to postpone a decision about the distribution until Sunday when the Governing Board meets. "Until I find out that funding the peti tion through the RHA and Student Government is not against the constitu tion, we will not distribute them," Staf ford said. The petition is an effort to get the $1 .50 student activities fee increase without a student referendum. The fee increase was rejected in an earlier campus election. If ' 6,000 signatures are collected, Student Body President Paul Parker will submit the petition to the Board of Trustees April 20. Stafford said he disagreed with RHA , supporting the petition. "Because it, is political, I don't feel this is the best way to raise the student" fees," he said. "By 0 0 o o distributing the petition, we are saying we support it. RHA represents the entire campus and not everyone on campus i is for it." Other members of RHA said they were in favor of the petition. "I feel that is is RHA's responsibility to better life in residence halls," said Robert Ehinger, president of Mangum dormitory. "The fee increase can do that. It will give the Campus Governing Coun cil more money to give RHA and other organizations in which students in residence halls are in." Mike Rogers, a Hinton James representative, said that "At the preliminary hearing there were more peo ple for it than against it. I felt RHA should be unified in their decision." Former RHA President Mark Dalton said he was against the petition, but he said he felt it would provide an oppor tunity for students' input. "We have an obligation to get feed back from the people we are representing," he said. "I don't see that it is so bad to solicit that input. If students want to sign it, they have that opportuni ty. If they don't, then no one is forcing them." 0 O 0 0 O 0 0 0 TTJ0 01IIJJI0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0U 0 0 0 O U 0 0 0 0 0 n a a 0 n n q n n Q 3 3 3 1 c c c c c c c c c c c D 3 1 1 C c c c c (CasoTKSJuif Programmed automation just focus and shoot.
