Five Yugoslav journalists and
educators traded concerns on Rea
gan's Strategic Defense Initiative
research program Monday with a
small group of University faculty
during a panel discussion on U.S.
security and defense issues. The
discussion was sponsored by the
international visitor's program of the
United States Information Agency.
The five visitors claimed to be of
"the new generation of leaders'
preoccupied with major Yugoslavian
and global security issues.
"Our main concern for quite a long
time has been our own security,"
Laslo Tot, Foreign Affairs Editor
and Commentator for TV Novi Sad,
said. "We are living in a world which
we cannot influence in the way we
would like, especially ... confron
tations of the two superpowers."

President, Republican Committee

Transit extends service
By Tom Conlon
Staff Writer
The Chapel Hill Transit system
will extend bus service to three new
apartment condominium complexes
on August 19, Alan Tobias, Admi
nistrative Assistant for Transporta
tion at the Town of Chapel Hill, said
Tuesday.
Complexes which will receive new
bus service include Kensington
Trace Carol Woods, The Villages
Apartments and Woodbridge Apart
ments. While most of the new service
will operate by extending existing
routes, the Kensington Trace Carol
Woods area may be served by a new
route, Tobias said.
"We plan to meet the extensions
of service with the same number of
buses, drivers and operating hours,"
he said. "Existing service schedules
will not change other than minor time
changes to make up for extended
routes. It will affect slightly the
headway in time between buses but
we have been able to take advantage
of extra time built into current
schedules so the change will not be
dramatic."
The Kensington Carol Woods
service would also serve Weaver
for Foreign Relations of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, said his country wished
to soften any undesired confronta
tion between the US and the Soviet
Union with policies of non-alignment
and non-interference. "Based on
these policies we don't feel jeopor
dized from either side, now or in the
future. But we remain ready to
defend ourselves."
Tot said he thought the US and
the Soviets were approaching a
period of a more intense arms race
and have yet to initiate serious arms
negotiations.
"Well spend a lot of money and
waste a lot of effort and possibly
bring ourself into an intense situation
before we negotiate," said discussion
moderator Dr. James Leutz, chair
man of the Curriculum in Peace,
War, and Defense.
Tot said 23 million Yugoslavs were
interested in "Star Wars," the defense

Dairy Road and be an extension of
the A Route which currently ends at
Airport Road and Dixie Lane unless
a new route is created serving the new
area.
The J Route, which currently ends
at Smith Level Road and Highway
54 Bypass in Carrboro, will be
extended to The Villages Apartments
on Smith Level Road. Woodbridge
Apartments' service will be an exten
sion of the C Route currently ending
at Davie and Jones Ferry Road in
Carrboro.
The August 19 implementation
date is when the Chapel Hill Transit
system resumes full service. Reduced
service operates during the UNC
summer and Christmas vacation
periods.
"We have only 13 buses running
during peak hours now, but will have
27 or 28 during full-service," Tobias
said. "During reduced service peri
ods, there is no evening bus service."
The Chapel Hill Transit system is
operated by the Town of Chapel Hill
and receives funding from local
property taxes, user fees and federal
funding via state government. Recent

Council declares 6peed trBp

The Chapel Hill Town Council
voted unanimously Monday night to
make the Franklin Street area near
Glendale Drive, Davie Circle and
Roosevelt Drive known as a "speed
trap" in order to prevent accidents
in the area, Mayor Pro-Tern Beverly
Kawalec said.
However, the council refused to
approve any further traffic regulation
until a study is made on the cost and
effects of having a traffic signal put
at the Franklin Street and Glendale
Drive intersection.
Town Engineer George Small said
that putting a traffic light in that area
"would create more accidents than
it would resolve."
Requiring the stop would cause
more rear-end collisions, a common
problem in this area, he said.
Small said the state Department
of Transportation would not approve
having a signal at the intersection.
Council member R.D. Smith
advocated a traffic light on East
Franklin Street near Glendale Drive,
a route school buses often take.
"WeVe got to learn how to protect
our kids," Smith said. "We should
tell the Department of Transporta
tion that in the process of protecting
our children we're protecting the
citizens as well," he said.
The council also objected to
resolutions reccommended by Small
to widen East Franklin Street from
Boundary Street to Howell Lane and
to prohibit left turns at the Franklin
Street and Roosevelt Drive
intersection.
"An $800,000 widening project
sounds to me like a very subtle way
of putting (the issue) to rest-forever,"
council member David Godschalk
said. The resolution would also
interfere with the Historic District,
Godschalk added.
Eliminating left turns at the Frank
lin Street and Roosevelt Drive "is a
Band-Aid' which doesn't deat-with
S v.-
i ' ,
the long term problem," Godschalk
said.
The council also could not agree
on another traffic resolution concern
ing an ordinance for the one-way
pairing of South Columbia and
Pittsboro streets. The ordinance
would allow through truck traffic
and create a bikeway on Pittsboro
Street.
Acting Town. Manager Sonna
Loewenthal said because the council
voted to delay the adoption of this
ordinance construction on the pair
ing will not be completed until after
students arrive in the falL
The Council also approved two
planned development resolutions.
The council agreed to grant a
special use permit to the Windy Hill
planned development "under pro
test," Kawalec said.
The council plans to appeal the
court order forcing it to grant the
building permit, according to council
member Jonathan Howes.
The council discussed legal stra
tegy in an executive session before
the regular meeting.
Regarding the special use permit
for Mill Race, which revised plans
for 72 units on 14 acres zoned R-

3 and R-4 east of Hillsborough Street
and south of Bolinwood Road,, the
council voted 7 to 1 to grant the
permit, with council member David
A. Pasquini dissenting.
Before the permit was granted, the
Mill Race developers had to agree
on the stipulations that all trees in
the construction area be protected
with barriers extending to the root
line and that the buildings not exceed
four stories.
The council denied the request by
a fraternity to temporarily close
Pickard Lane on Aug. 24.
Other issues voted unanimously by
the council include the approval of
an ordinance establishing a Green
ways Commission and the approval
of a public hearing Sept. 16 on
amending the development ordi
nance to provide that the town
council conduct site plan reviews.
