CGC unfixes Wallace's appeal attlacks meall plaim
By HEATHER HAY
Staff Writer
After ignoring a request from Student Body
President Patricia Wallace to rescind the meal plan
referendum, the Campus Governing Council
approved a bill stating opposition to the mandatory
meal plan, asking the administration to end the
meal plan and urging students to vote in the
campuswide referendum on April 18.
Saying she opposed the mandatory meal plan,
Wallace added that she did not believe a referendum
would have much impact on the Board of Trustees.
"I think it's deceiving to tell the students that
they will be having an impact through a referen
dum, she said. "It's saying to students that their
vote counts for something it doesn't. It won't
change the Board of Trustees minds.
"The decision to have a meal plan was a financial,
not a popular, decision," Wallace said. "The Board
of Trustees sought a $4,$-million loan from the
bank. We're using that 4'i million right now for
renovations. If the facilities aren't used, that's a
waste of money and a waste of space.
Wallace said she was actively seeking alterna
tives. "I'm trying to argue that that financial bsse
(income derived from a mandatory meal plan) is
not necessary and that we don't need a meal plan,"
Wallace said.
After giving her report, Wallace left the CGC
meeting to join other student leaders to prepare
for a meeting today with Gov. Jim Martin to discuss
proposed college tuition hikes. After her departure,
David Brady (Dist. 12) introduced his bill addressed
to the UNC Board of Trustees voicing CGC
opposition to the mandatory meal plan.
"The CGC is the student legislative body of this
University, and we need to make a stand on the
meal plan," Brady said. "If you (the CGC) won't
do it for yourselves, at least do it for your
constituents." .
In addition to opposing the mandatory $ 1 00 meal
plan for all on-campus students, the bill states that
the CGC opposes several stipulations in the ARA
contract signed by Chancellor Christopher C.
Fordham III; Wayne Jones, vice chancellor for
business and finance; Donald Boulton, vice
chancellor for Student Affairs; and former Student
Body President Mike Vandenbergh.
Included in those stipulations is the requirement
that the meal plan price be raised by $25 in intervals
of not less than one year if enough revenue is not
generated by the $100 plan. If enough revenue still
is not raised, according to the bill, South Campus
residents will have to purchase a room and board
plan similar to the one at Granville Towers
at a minimum price of $350.
The last reason cited for council opposition to
the plan is that the "Campus Governing Council
does not agree with the 'idea of forcing students
to eat somewhere without respect to PERSONAL
CHOICE!"
Bill Peaslee (Dist. 9) unsuccessfully moved to
postpone discussion of the bill, saying he didn't
feel he knew enough about the meal plan issue
to make a decision. "I haven't had a chance to
read the book (the 'Report to Patricia Wallace,
Student Body President, on the Mandatory Meal
Plan'), and I feel uncomfortable voting on
something I don't know something about."
The bill was approved 8-5.
After the meeting, Charles Bryan (Dist. 15) said
he objected to Wallace's opposition to the meal
plan referendum. "I think it's ludicrous," he said.
"Patricia argues we didn't know the administra
tion's views on this. Maybe she's got lead feet or
she's dragging her feet. Something needs to be done
now."
Wallace said she was trying the best she could
to change the meal plan. In a memo to The Daily
Tar Heel Wednesday, Wallace stated: "Student
Government is preparing a more in-depth analysis
of the meal plan issue. We do not fully endorse
either the Mills Report (the report to Wallace) or
the (administration's report released Tuesday)."
After the CGC meeting Thursday, she said, "I
don't want the meal plan, but I have not come
up with a reason (to convince the BOT to stop
it) other than that it's mandatory and students don't
want it."
In other business Thursday, the CGC approved
Ryke Longest as student body treasurer. Approved
as chairman of the Elections Board was Bruce Lillie,
a sophomore from Chapel Hill.

Winsteadfound guilty,
could face probation
By RANDY FARMER
Staff Writer
The Honor Court found Frank T.
Winstead guilty Thursday of making
harassing phone calls last fall to two
area directors.
Winstead's sanction will be deter
mined later by' the court. Area
directors Cynthia Wolf, of Hinton
James, and Maxine Frumkin, of
Henderson Residence Collegej accused
Winstead of making the calls and filed
complaints with the student attorney
general.
The Honor Court found Winstead in
violation of a section in the Student
Code that prohibits "disorderly or
obscene conduct on institutional pre
mises or at University-sponsored
functions."
The harassing phone calls were
hindering the area directors from doing
their jobs effectively because several
times they had to disconnect their
phones so they could sleep, Wolf said.
"When I was being harassed, I could
not be reached, which was threatening
my ability to my job," Wolf said. Area
directors are required to have tele
phones for emergencies.
"The suspicion pointed to Winstead
because he was the only connection
between Maxine and me," Wolf said.
Winstead's roommate, Curtis J.
Perry, and his suitemates George A.
Perry and Wesley Moore testified
Thursday.
Moore said he remembered Winstead
sayinr at the beginning of the fall
sen cr that he was going to get the
are director. Moore said he believed
Winstead had meant he was going to
try to get the area director fired.
Moore and Curtis Perry testified that
they did not have anything against
Winstead personally, and George Perry
said he had differences with Winstead
over political issues.
The case was centered on whether
Winstead made the phone calls to the
area directors. Southern Bell traced two
phone calls, made Dec. 19 at 10:48 and
10:50 p.m., to the phone that Winstead
was sharing with his suitemates.
The undercover officer who served
Winstead his warrant Jan. 24 said he
found telephone wires connecting
Winstead's telephone to his suitemate's
phone.
Curtis Perry, George Perry and
Moore all denied making the harassing
phone calls.
Curtis Perry said people came into
his room to use the phone, but he did
not know whether any of those people
knew the area directors.
George Perry said he had known
Winstead to play jokes. "Winstead
works by night and sleeps by day . . . ,"
he said. "Look at the Wallace posters.
That's evidence."
According to the Student Code, the
sanction for Winstead's violation may
be disciplinary probation or lesser
sanctions.
Probation permits the student to
remain on campus, but the student may
not officially represent the University
or participate in any extracurricular
activities such as intramural
competitions.
In addition, students on probation
are required to report regularly to the
Honor Code counselor, who will
provide inidividual counsel and ensure
the student complies with the terms of
the probation.
Sentences of probation may be
imposed for a semester or for specified
periods.
Winstead's March 27 trial was
adjourned until this week because the
Court session could not be completed
before 1 a.m., the latest the Student
Code allows an Honor Court session
to run.
Missing owner of Taylor's
seen Monday in New Bern
Company interested
in soon repurchasing
Franklin Street club
By M ELAN IE WELLS
Special to the 'DTH'
Purdy's on Franklin Street may soon
return in the absence of Richard N.
Taylor, who reopened the club as
Taylor's in January.
Chapel Hill police are still searching
for Taylor to serve a warrant for his
arrest on charges of writing worthless
checks.
According to New Bern Motor Inn
in New Bern, Taylor was registered
there for about a week and a half,
checked out three days ago and left no
forwarding address.
John Kelly, of Consolidated Enter
tainment and manager of Elliot's Nest,
said Thursday that Ray McCotter of
Consolidated Entertainment had
expressed interest in buying the club.
McCotter owned Purdy's for about a
year before he sold it to Taylor.
McCotter paid rent for the club this
month, Kelly said, so the lease wouldn't
be broken in case he decided to buy
the club back. "If he hadnt paid it, (the
club) would have closed," Kelly said.
He also said that if Consolidated
Entertainment bought Taylor's, he
would be responsible for getting a
management crew there. In that event,
Kelly said, he will lean toward elimi
nating it as a bar.
"It has gone through the wash a
couple of times, and I don't know if
iin cuine out cican inis time or not,
he said.
Durham Distributing Co. obtained a
warrant for Taylor after three of his
checks, totalling $1,065, were returned
to the company because of insufficient
funds in Taylor's account.
Taylor also owes $1,100 to Hender
son Residence College for Springfest
and approximately $300 to The Daily
Tar Heel for advertising.
An employee of Taylor's, David
Creech, said Taylor had created a lot
of hard feelings within the club. "He
had big plans that he never followed
through with, except $10,000 in (dance
floor) lights," Creech said. "He bought
the lights but took them when he left."
Brian Gallagher, who is acting as
temporary manager of the club, said
Taylor hadn't been seen "since the lights
disappeared."
Gallagher admitted that he and
Taylor were on good terms but said he
was disappointed with the things that
had happened. He said a lot of changes
would be taking place soon.
Creech and Wes Adams, former
manager of Purdy's and Taylor's, said
Taylor also owed the employees money.
"When Richard left, he took the time
cards for the last two weeks so it
couldn't be proven that the employees
worked (during that time)," Adams
said.
Elaine Purdie, of Raleigh, who has
remained part owner of the club since
her son opened it as Purdy's in 1979,
said Taylor wrote her a worthless check
once when he was making payment on
a note. "The check bounced, but then
he made it good," she said.

Chapel Hill firefighters battle a fire that struck the Chapel Hill Cleaners around 9 p.m. Thursday. No one was injured.
'Totaled says owner
Fwe scoirdhies FraMdiiim
treet cleaners
By KAREN YOUNGBLOOD
Staff Writer
A fire at the Chapel Hill Cleaners
on Franklin Street last night left it
extensively damaged, burning the
ceiling and breaking the front
windows.
Firefighters put out the fire
which occurred shortly after 9 p.m.
within five minutes. The business,
at 169 E. Franklin St., had just closed
for the evening. No one was in the
cleaners at the time, and no one was
hurt.
One assistant fire chief on the
scene said the fire appeared to have
started in the office at the front of
the store and then spread. The front
part of the business was burned
extensively, and the front windows
broke because of the heat.
"It's totaled," said owner Robert
Humphreys. When asked if insu
rance would cover the loss, Humph
reys replied, "I sure hope so. Oh, I
hope so. Don't ask me questions like
that."
Traffic on Franklin Street was
conjested because of, the blaze.
Westbound traffic was rerouted
down Henderson Street, while east
bound traffic moved as usual.
Businesses on each side of the
cleaners, The Fireside Ltd. and
Wentworth & Sloan Jewelers, were
filled with smoke from the fire. The
owners of those businesses were
called so firefighters could open the
doors to let the smoke out and to
prevent the fire from spreading.
One man lost his tuxedo in the
fire. Ray Harrison, who will be the
best man for a wedding a week from
Saturday, said his tuxedo was
probably lost.
"It's probably gone," he said. "I'm
going to find out what happened.
Sooner or later theyll cover the loss
or 111 sue them."
When asked what he would do in
the meantime, Harrison replied,
"Well, I'm sure I can buy one."
The exact cause of the fire is
unknown, pending an investigation.
Wovnen's group scores low in CGC rankings
By GUY LUCAS
Staff Writer
The Black Student Movement received high merit
scores in Campus Governing Council budget hearings
Wednesday, but the Association for Women Students
received average to very low scores.
The programs of the two groups were evaluated
by the CGC Student Affairs and Rules and Judiciary
committees.
In the current round of budget hearings, the
committees evaluate each program and assign it a
score from zero to 30, with 30 being the best. The
two scores will be averaged and given to the Finance
Committee, which will use the scores next week to
help determine how much can be cut from the budgets.
The AWS did not fare well with either committee,
but the Student Affairs Committee gave it some of
the lowest scores of any of the groups it has reviewed
so far.
The best score the AWS received was an 11.8 for
its speakers program. The AWS's pamphlets scored
a low of 10.8.
Lori Spainhour (Dist. 18) said: "I don't think we
should even have had to listen to them. They're
obviously political."
According to the Student Code, the CGC is
prohibited from funding programs, services or events
that are political or religious in nature.
Todd Mason (Dist. 14), chairman of the Student
Affairs Committee, said the AWS took political rather
than objective stands on a lot of issues. The speakers
the group invites tend to be controversial and political,
he said.
But Greg Hecht (Dist. 21) said political activity
should not go into the evaluation. He said the
committee should have added a footnote to the total
score as he did to his score saying the group
was political and ineligible for CGC funds. The
question of whether or not to fund them at all then
would be left up to the full CGC, he said.
Committee members cited the group's size and
opinions as reasons for giving it low scores.
"I feel they're not representative of the majority
of female students," Lisa Jacobs (Dist. 6) said. "
Spainhour agreed. "1 don't think they represent the
majority or even a substantial part of women's
opinions," she said.
Mason said, "I get the impression that it's just that
central committee making decisions, and they don't
take into account the opinions of other women."
Hecht said he gave the group slightly higher scores
than the other committee members because he felt
AWS represented the views of at least some women.
But the group's small size did hurt their scores, he
said.
The AWS fared better with the Rules and Judiciary
Committee but still received scores ranging near 20.
Most groups so far have received scores in the low
to mid 20s.
The scores were lifted somewhat by the scoring of
Chuck Shafer (Dist. 1) and Susan Marshall (Dist.
2).
Shafer said he gave high scores because women
comprise a large portion of the campus. "I think they
serve a vital purpose," he said.
Marshall said the AWS contributed to an awareness
of women's issues and started discussion on those
issues.
But Jaye Sitton (Dist. 13) said she gave the group
low scores because they ojerlapped with the Women's
Forum and other programs on campus. The size of
the group also contributed to the low scores, she said.
"They have the fewest members of any organization
we've seen," she said.
The BSM received the best scores from the Student
Affairs Committee, which gave three of the BSM's
seven programs perfect scores of 30.
Chairman Mason said he was a little surprised by
the scores. "I didn't expect each program to go so
