ArtSchool's Capital Campaign,
the project raising funds for relocat
ing the ArtSchool, got a major
financial boost Thursday night. At
a champagne reception at the home
of Chancellor and Mrs. Fordham,
Thomas R. Haber, vice president of
finance at Glaxo Inc., presented a
$20,000 donation on behalf of Glaxo
to Mrs. Fordham, the honorary
chairwoman of the campaign.
Approximately 150 people
attended the reception. Special
guests included Wanda Hunt of the
N.C. Senate, Anne Barnes and Joe
Hackney of the N.C. House of
Representatives, Orange County
commissioners and members of the
Carrboro Board of Aldermen and
Chapel Hill Town Council.
In an introductory address,
Richardson L. Preyer Jr., chairman
of ArtSchool's board of directors,
thanked contributors for their com
mitment to the arts and commented
on ArtSchool's objectives.
"Our vision at ArtSchool is to
promote, nurture and challenge the
creative spirit," he said.
Preyer announced that Art
School's new theater will be named
after. the late Earl Wynn, who served
as chairman of ArtSchool from 1980
to 1985. Wynn also founded UNC's
radio, television and motion pictures
department and the Communica
tions Center, which includes
WUNC TV and WUNC Radio.
Haber said that Glaxo's contribu
tion represents the corporation's
support for the community and the
arts.
"Our mission is to be good citizens
of the community," Haber said. "We
recognize and accept our responsi
bility of being a productive corpo
ration. We desire not only to provide
high-quality products, but to have
a positive impact on the community
where we live and work."
Since July 1, 1985, the ArtSchool
has raised nearly $400,000; the
campaign's goal is to raise $936,000
by June, 1987.
Orange County, the towns of
Carrboro and Chapel Hill and the
N.C. Legislature have contributed a
total of $46,250 over the past year
for ArtSchool's programs and
operations.
Following the reception, a new
concert grand piano at the Art
School was unveiled and dedicated.
The purchase of the instrument was
funded by benefit concerts and a one
time gift of $10,250 from the Town
of Chapel Hill.
The new ArtSchool will be located
at 301 E. Main St. in Carrboro, at
the present site of an abandoned
supermarket which lends 16,000
square feet of space, said Jaques
Menach, executive director of the
ArtSchool.
Menach said that future fund
raisers will include continuation of
private and corporate solicitations,
with a major fund-raising letter being
sent out in November. "This will be
sort of a Christmas wish list," he said.
Other fund-raising events will
include "Art a la Carte," a program
in which area restaurants donate
food at cost. "We did it last year,
and it was very successful, so we'll
do it again," Menach said.

Town receives grant for traffic snarls
By SCOTT GREIG
Staff Writer
Chapel Hill has received a $10,767
merge grant from the Governor's
Highway Safety Progam for compu
ter equipment, which will allow the
town to access state Department of
Transportation accident records.
The equipment will be used to do
analyses and documentation of high
accident locations, the causes of the
accidents and solutions for the
problems.
The town received final authori
zation for the grant on Oct. 1, and
Mike Neal, assistant town engineer,
said the equipment will be set up as
soon as possible.
Neal said the equipment was not
going to change the way in which
the town looked at traffic problems,
but it would greatly increase the
efficiency of the engineering
department.
"Right now we have to go to the
police department and look up
everything by hand," Neal said. "We
take any information we feel is
pertinent, copy it, and then take it
back with us to engineering and sort
through it by hand again."
He said the state department looks

Because Memories Fade
at individual intersections or loca
tions, as they are requested by the
police. The police receive all of their
information from the Department of
Transpbrtation.
The town can now have access to
all of that data without having to
go through the police department
files to get it, Neal said.
Keith Lohmann, police planner
for the Chapel Hill Police Depart
ment, said the intersections dishing
out the greatest number of "personal
injury accidents" are at Franklin and
Columbia streets, Franklin and
Henderson streets. Franklin Street
and Estes Drive and at U.S. 15-501
and Europa Drive.
"The determination of those spots
as being the worst for accidents was
completed a year and a half ago,"
Lohmann said, "but I don't think
anything has changed since then."
Neal said, "It used to take us five
hours to analyze one intersection.
Now we can do analyses of three
intersections in that same amount of
time."
It was not difficult to get the grant,
Neal said, and most of the credit
should go to the Governor's High
way Safety Research Center, located
at the University.
"The center sent us a letter inviting
us to a meeting designed to announce
the availability of such funds," Neal
said, "i attended the meeting with
a representative from the Chapel Hill
Police Department, and we filled out
the application form and sent it in."

South Campus residents whose
roommates move out may soon be
able to choose between living alone
and paying a higher rate or moving
out.
The UNC Department of Housing
is considering enacting an already
existing clause in students' housing
contracts that would have that effect.
Currently when a student's room
mate leaves, the student must remain
in the room until assigned another
roommate.
University housing might start
giving students more choices because
Carmichael Residence Hall has
created 288 extra spaces, said Collin
Rustin, associate director of admin
istration for University housing.
According to the clause, if one of
the occupants of a double room
moves out, the remaining occupant
must either accept another room
mate, pay a higher rate for reduced
occupancy or move to another room.
The second and third options in
the contract have not been used
because the University has never had
enough extra housing spaces, Rustin
said.
He said that giving students more
options would have two advantages.
"First, if a student does choose to
leave the room as a single, we can
maximize revenue income by having
that student pay extra for it even
though he wouldn't be paying the
full price of a double," he said.
"And if the student chooses to
leave the room, we can reduce costs
by closing off the room," he said.
University housing has placed
more students in residence halls this
year than usual, he said. "This year
all females on the waiting list (for
on-campus housing) were off it the
first week of classes," he said. "And
all males were off by the first week
of September. This is a tremendous
improvement from past years."
Also, there would be short-term
and long-term benefits for students
if the single-room clause goes into
effect, Rustin said. "On the short
term, it gives the student an option,"
he said.
Because of extra rates generated
by the extra, non-revenue spaces,
Rustin said, "there will also be a
benefit for students in future years,
because we wouldn't have to raise
rents substantially."
If the clause is put into effect,
residents of Hinton James, Morrison
and Ehringhaus residence halls
would be given the two extra choices.
Because students who apply for
room changes usually want to move
from South Campus to North Cam
pus, North Campus vacancies are
quickly filledand most vacancies are
on South Campus, he said.
The clause would "almost defi
nitely" not take place until the spring
semester,' Rustin said.
Housing officials will decide after
the Admissions Department tells
them how many freshmen and
transfer students will enter UNC for
the spring semester, he said. Then
University housing will compare that
number with the number of
December graduates leaving
vacancies.
If there are enough extra spaces,
South Campus students whose
roommates leave will get the extra
options, he said.
Schools troubled by lack of bus drivers
By MITRA LOTFI
Staff Writer
The shortage of bus drivers in the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system
is having a negative impact on the
schools' instructional programs,
Sheila Brietwieser, assistant superin
tendent for support, said Thursday.
With almost 10 buses running late
every day, many kids are missing
their first period classes, she said.
"Rather than packing the buses,
we do double runs each morning,"
she said.
The school system has been doing
various things to alleviate the
problem.
"We're recruiting people on our
own staffs (to drive)," Brietwieser
said, "and we've advertised in local
papers and on campus for drivers."
Due to state law, public school
systems cannot contract buses from
surrounding school systems. .
"We may be able to recruit drivers
from, say, the Chapel Hill Transit
Authority to work for us four hours
a day," Brietwieser said.
Though the system has been faced
with a shortage of drivers for a
period of years, the problem has been
compounded in several ways this
year.
"Bus salaries have lost ground
against the inflation rate and the
(higher) salaries of comparable
positions in this area," she said.
Plimpton
Also, the low unemployment rate
of 2.6 percent has shrunk the pool
of available people from which to
draw drivers, she said.
"Currently, we have 1 1 drivers in
training, so we're hoping to get
regular and substitute drivers out of
that," Brietwieser said.
Local school officials are hoping
to work out a budget with the board
of education for next year that will
allow for an increase in drivers'
salaries, she said.
"We can't just give raises now,
because we don't have the money in
our budget," she said.

ting behind the scenes in the teams'
locker rooms, he said. "(It's) trying
to prove what would it be like to
be there and be a quasi-member,
what are they like, and how do they
get ready before they go out."
In order to get a behind-the-scenes
look at the rough and tumble world
of NHL hockey for his latest book,
"Open Net," Plimpton spent a month
training with the Boston Bruins. To

exhibition game against the Phila
delphia Flyers protecting Boston's
goal.
Although he has played and
written about professional golf,
baseball, boxing and football,
although he has conducted sympho
nies, played in a number of movies
and hob-nobbed with the likes of
Andy Warhol and Jackie O., Plimp
ton said his greatest regret came with
his latest book. After guarding the
Bruins goal, he missed the brawl. "A
great fight," he said, "a free-for-all."
He had hoped a fight would break
out while he was on the ice, but never
dreamed it would happen after he
had shed his skates to talk to
reporters completely oblivious to
the full-scale knock-down-drag-out
fight on the ice.
"But I don't know quite what
would have happened if I were still
out there," Plimpton said, "because
once you're down they 11 hop you."
