The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, August 29, 19843 Institute to study entrepreneurs By KEVIN WASHINGTON StafT Writer UNC's Institute for Private Enter prise is more than a year away from becoming operational, but its first executive director, Rollie Tillman, vice chancellor for University rela tions, said the project is something we're all very excited about." Tillman, who will leave his present position to assume the director's position on Jan. 1, called the Insti tute for Private Enterprise a "crea ture" of the School of Business Administration dedicated to research and education in the area of entrepreneurship. Announced last December, the Institute will be supported by the William R. Kenan Fund. He said "Well be looking at how one cares for and nurtures a new enterprise how to help them start up and how to make sure they last." "We intend for the Institute to be a national center," he said. He added that he wanted the researchers to be from the academic community. For the most part, he said, busi nesses conducting research usually did not publish their findings, but because of the academic nature of the project, their research findings would be published. "We're not a captive arm of business we're here to serve business." Tillman said the Institute for Private Enterprise would be unique because no other research institute was solely dedicated to the research of new businesses. "The University of Southern California does quite a lot of research in this area, but no one place has been set up to do it." As a research arm of the business school, he said, the Institute would be an excellent educational tool. "After we Ye amassed thousands of new records, we think the under grads, graduate students and faculty will have a real rich resource. "We also are seeking funds for ' interdisciplinary studies with the law school, school of political science and health sciences division," he said. He said "As we grow, out of what we learn, we will develop courses as a part of continuing education for entrepreneurs interested in launching new businesses." The Institute's establishment at the University is especially approp riate because of its close proximity to Research Triangle Park, he said. "What's likely to happen is that new ventures in business will spring from the recent developments in technology," he said. "In fact, most new employment in the country has been created by new, smaller enter prises a whole new generation of businesses." Govsrnor from page 1 Edmisten in the interview. Martin told the audience that the state had suffered embarrassment because highway bidriggers had "liter ally reached into your back pocket and taken your tax money." Martin said Edmisten's staff had called evidence against bidriggers "wishy-washy" even as they were being convicted in federal court and quoted a federal judge as saying state officials should have prosecuted the cases. Edmisten called Martin's statements "ridiculous," saying his office had chosen to take civil action to recover money from the contractors.

William R. Roberson Jr., state secretary of transportation, and Billy Rose, state highway administrator, endorsed Chapel Hill's plan after Nassif agreed to keep open the possibility of an Estes Drive extension to improve access to the proposed 1-40. Carrboro 's thoroughfare plan included the extension of Estes Drive, which would provide the people of Carrboro with a shorter route to the new highway. The Estes Drive extension would cross residential areas in Chapel Hill. Residents opposed the construction of the road because it would increase traffic through their neighborhoods. The Chapel Hill Town Council decided that the extension should not be included in a thoroughfare plan at this time Chapel Hill's plan also did not include the one-way pairing of Franklin and Rosemary Streets through downtown Chapel Hill to alleviate traffic. Lynn Magee, an assistant to Nassif, said that one-way pairing of streets in towns the size of Chapel Hill has most often led to the deterioration of the downtown area, frustrating traffic rather than alleviating it. Chapel Hill's plan includes improvements on U.S. 15-501 and N.C. 54, east of town. The DOT recommended that the route to Durham be widened and include more sophisticated interchanges. The need for an updated thoroughfare plan has been recognized for many years. Since 1979, Chapel Hill and Carrboro officials have worked toward a joint proposal. Officials were unable to come up with a common plan, so each town submitted a separate plan. With support from top department officials, the thoroughfare plan is expected to win approval from the state Board of Transportation this fall.
