important dates, was born from a
collaboration between the UNC
Student Stores and the Office of the

UNC students and faculty won't
have to carry a pocketful of change

campus three weeks ago according
to manager of printing and dupli

According to the printing depart

which cost $2,300 each, have

Bus service survives federal budget cutting
By SUSAN JENSEN
. Staff Writer
- Fears of lost bus service around
Chapel Hill and Carrboro were
allayed by Congress's veto this
summer of an administration prop
osal to cut over $500,000 in aid to
the area's public transportation.
Earlier this summer, Chapel Hill
Transit officials had been concerned
that federal funding would be cut,
.according to Alan Tobias, assistant
manager of the Transit company.
, Congress, however, blocked the
proposal in a recent session, and no
change to that budget is foreseen,
Tobias said.
, The presidential administration
has tried for six years to rescind all
or part of the $991,000 in subsidies
.that make up one-third of Chapel
, Hill's $3,000,000 transportation
.budget, he said.
Those efforts have been part of
a nationwide campaign to cut
.corners on the public transportation
.budget, he said, and all districts with
public transportation faced the
threat of lost subsidies.
A few municipalities have private
transportation systems which make
,them ineligible for federally funded
.subsidies.
R.L. Banks, a Washington con
sultant firm, had estimated that
Chapel Hill Transit could have lost
between $100,000 and $595,000,
based on governmental figures.
Funding for the bus system would
have expired Sept. 30.
The Transit had hired Banks to
come up with a contingency plan
outlining rate hikes, route reschedul
ing and other necessary changes if
the subsidies were cut.
Although there is now no need for
the plan, the town has increased the
transportation tax by 1.5 cents to 7
cents per $100 of assessed property
value.
This will provide the bus system
with a $140,000 surplus. Chapel Hill
Town Manager David R. Taylor has
said he hopes to raise tax rates
enough over the next three years to
become independent fron federal

"We issued a calendar last January
that was nice, but not as nice and
personalized as this one," said John
Gorsuch, media planner for the
UNC Student Stores. "The Student
Affairs Division thought there was
a need for a 'catch-all' sort of
publication."
Beginning last April, Gorsuch
worked with co-editors David Foun
tain, Mary Scholl and Mary Evans
in the three-month production of the
calender, which is modeled after a
law school library issue the new
copier system cards. Patrons insert
a $1 bill into the machine and receive
a card, which costs 50 cents; a 50
cent credit also is added to their
account.
Up to $99 can be added to the
account by inserting the card into
the vending machine along with a
SI, $5, $10 or $20 bill. All money
in the account will transfer from

subsidies in the future.
A similar proposal for a surplus
fund was introduced by the Carrboro
Board of Aldermen, but nothing has
been set up yet.
Had the subsidies been lost,
Chapel Hill Transit could have
drawn on subsidies unused by
Durham in a joint $2.7 million
Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Durham
federal funding pool.

Of the 7,300 calendars published,

To make copies, the card is

"Walk down that. lonesome road,
A 11 by yourself, Don 't turn your head
back over your shoulder ..."
The members of the Class of 1990
had already begun their walk down
that lonesome road Sunday night,
when they heard the University Glee
Club sing James Taylor's words at
Freshman Convocation in Memorial
Hall.
Most of the 3,300 freshmen
arrived Saturday and were greeted
and moved in by over 450 upper
classmen on the orientation staff.
They also met the orientation coun
selors who would guide them
through their first four days at
Carolina.
At convocation Saturday, Chan
cellor Christopher C. Fordham III
welcomed the veterans of one night
of college dorm life.
"Well have a very good time
together, I assure you," he said,
telling the freshmen the fact that
they're at UNC demonstrates their
good judgment, talent, "sparkle of
intellect" and good upbringing.
Freshmen should take advantage
of the many opportunities for per
sonal growth in their years at
Carolina, he said. Besides expanding
their knowledge and understanding,
freshmen should grow in the capacity
to express themselves, in the culti
vation of communication skills and
in spirit or "the search for ultimate
truth."
Fordham added that students also
need to learn "to deal with other
cultures in this shrinking world."
Provost Samuel R. Williamson
talked about the academic side of
Carolina in his convocation address,
encouraging the freshmen to embark
upon their great intellectual adven
ture with enthusiasm.
Williamson also warned students
to obey University regulations. "This
is your great-adventure," he said.
"Don't lose it in your freshman year."
copy would have doubled to 10 cents
if coin-operated machines were used.
It also takes less time to make
copies, Wilson said. "You don't have
to keep up with coins and you don't
have to drop in a nickel everytime
you make a copy," he said. "It's just
a lot faster."
Nine of the card-operated mac
chines are located in the graduate
library, five are in the undergraduate
library and the law school library has
four. Other copiers are in the main
departmental libraries. Operating
instructions are posted near each
vending machine and copier.

the part of the court members," she
said. "Some of the court opinions
were all originals. If we'd lost them
we wouldVe been in big trouble."
The new book will also help record
keeping, Furr said, and make infor
mation more readily accessible.
"Court members . . . and other
people needed better copies than
what we could give them," she said.
Furr said former Chief Justice
Scott Norberg and current Chief
Justice Maria Baxter were respon
sible for getting the funding for the
project.

He said UNC places a lot of stress
on basic communication skills in an
effort to help students communicate
verbally, mathematically and
through writing.
The different perspective require
ments allow students to realize the
"enormous seas" of knowledge they
can explore, Williamson said. That
potential is complemented by the
professors' ability to "probe and test
and push" to find better solutions
to scientific, mathematic, and phi
losophical problems, he said.
"We believe you will get a better
education at Carolina than at any
institution in this state, and it will
rank among the best in the world,"
Williamson said.
