News: 962-0245 Advertising: 962-0252 CGC buidget Fees not spent on summer students By ART WOODRUFF Tar Heel Staff Writer "Students are really getting abused" because summer school student fees are not being spent on summer school students, said Rebel Cole, summer Campus Governing Council Finance Com mittee chairman. About $35,000 of the activities fee that summer students pay is allocated by the CGC, Cole said, but the summer CGC was only given $592 by the full CGC. The rest was allocated to student organizations. However, according to an agreement made between the Student Affairs Office and Stu dent Government in 1973, all student fees collected during the summer must be spent during the summer or be carried over to the next summer. "Some people argue that enough organizations work year round (to justify using summer school fees), but I take issue with that," Cole said. Few organiza tions operate during the summer, he said. "A lot of the organizations that are operating now are planning for this fall," he said. Summer CGC Speaker Wyatt Closs said the CGC was unaware of the agreement when the budget was approved in April. He added that the problem was poor communication. The agreement, approved by then Chancellor Ferebee Taylor, states that the summer activities fee should be handled by the CGC rather than the Office of Student Affairs and that the fees must be used for summer school students. The agreement also stated that the summer fees must be kept in a budget separate from the aca demic year and that any summer fee surplus must be carried over to the next summer term. "Summer school students are paying and they should get some thing out of it," Dean of Student Affairs Donald Boulton said. In the past, Boulton said, he has had to remind student body presidents about the agreement but that it is not his job to police them. "I have to assume that every student body president has that (the agreement) in his files," he (See CGC page 3) Frat house faces condemnation By ANDY MILLER Tar Heel Staff Writer The Chapel Hill building inspector may condemn the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house if around $15,000 worth of repairs are not made by Aug. 1, the fraternity's chapter adviser said. The adviser, Doug Wakeman, said it was unlikely the UNC chapter would raise the money. The chapter, he said, is consid ering a number of options, includ ing moving to a new site. According to Chapel Hill Building Inspector Leroy Whit more, the present house at 111 Pickard Lane has major electri cal, roofing, foundation and flooring problems. "Someone could get hurt there," Whitmore said. "The spliced wiring and exposed wire could start a fire or give someone a shock." Wakeman, an alumnus of the chapter, said, "The sooner we find new quarters, the better. This comes at a bad time, with mem bership low." The fraternity has 12 members, a number which the national Delta Tau Delta organization has urged the chapter to increase, Wakeman said. Keith Steiner, national director of chapter services for Delta Tau Delta, said, "The University of North Carolina is a campus where we want to be represented, and represented well. Well do anything to strengthen our situa tion there." Butch Weston, alumni coordi nator for the chapter, said, "We're confident something will be worked out." The fraternity has had diffi culty attracting new members because of the condition and small size of the house, fraternity members said. John Whittemore, a junior from Swampscott, Mass., said, "The house is not worth it any- (See FRAT page 6) r Vrmpsf .,P!'U"""""""" ""'" A I 4 1 I !

(Photos by Jamie Moncrief) Options for Carrboro Citizens discuss traffic By JODI SMITH News Editor Positions on the proposed Franklin Street Extension were voiced by Carrboro citizens in an open meeting of the Carrboro Board of Aldermen Tuesday. The meeting was an open forum to express reasons for support or opposition to the 'Package A' plan to make Franklin Street a three-lane highway through downtown Carrboro. 'Package B,' which would issue a bond for $1.5 million, was discussed in a similar meeting Wednesday night. The proposed plan has five alternative routes. They include the Carr Brewer Street Corridor, Roberson Street Corridor, Lloyd Parker Street Corridor, Yaggy Property Corridor and the Main Street Corridor A Carrboro Bond Task Force has requested a $700,000 budget for the Carr Street Alternative, which would curve north to join Main Street and Jones Ferry Road. The task force recommends using bonds for the local share of the acquisition and construction of the Franklin Street Extension. Town planners said they prefer this route because it would provide better traffic circulation in the downtown area. Downtown businessmen, however, said thev will oppose the extension if it means a one-way pair with Main Street. The bonds would be used for construction of several community improvements, including repaving, curbs, gutters and bikeways for Poplar Avenue ($356,500); sidewalks on part of five streets ($11,000); a bikeway addition and improvements for Baldwin Park ($62,500); repaving of 12 streets ($482,300); dead-ending Eugene Street, turning radii on Greensboro Street, and street improvements in cemetery ($52,000); and cost share with the N.C. 1 Department of Transportation for right-of-way acquisitions and improvements to three streets ($394,100). John Thomas, of 107 Rainbow Dr., presented the Task Force proposal Package A. He said the $700,000 would cover such things as water and sewer, appraisals, landscaping and sidewalks. Thomas said the tax rate on the bond issued would be 15.02 cents, whereas the total cost would triple if the project were postponed. The lowest possible tax rates for the bonds is eight to 10 percent, to cover invoices. Thomas' information was acquired (See CARRBORO page 7)
