A policy permitting school offi
cials to search a student and his
possessions if there is "reasonable"
suspicion that the student has illegal
or unauthorized material was intro
duced by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City School Board Monday night.
The policy will be up for final
approval at the next board meeting
Nov. 3, said Henrietta Huffines,
administrative officer in the school
superintendent's office.
The board approved the policy on
the condition that officials from each
school notify parents if their child
Town residents to vote on bond

Chapel Hill residents will give the
"yea" or "nay" to a proposed $1 1.8
million in town improvements when
they vote on a five-project bond
referendum in the Nov. 4 elections.
The referendum, organized by the
town, allows voters to decide on each
issue separately.
Projects include $4 million for a
new Chapel Hill Library; $2.5
million for street improvements; $2.5
million for a new park in the
southern portion of town; $2 million
for a new town meeting room and
office space; and $0.8 million for a
new fire station and training center
in southern Chapel Hill.
Although the current public
library is cramped and overused,
according to staff, several townspeo
ple have expressed their concern over
the genuine need for a new one.
Campus libraries should be ade
quate to serve the public need, they
say.

Silent Sam, who has undergone
a complete facelift after 73 years of
battling environmental abuse and
vandalism, is scheduled to return as
overseer of McCorkle Place Nov. 6,
said Marshall Bullock, history
museum specialist in the property
office, Monday.
The bronze monument, sculpted
by Canadian John Wilson for $7,500
at the turn of the century, was to
be re-erected by Oct. 10, but Bullock
said the University asked the restor
ers, Eleftherios and Mercene Karka
doulias, to postpone his return.

is searched, regardless of its
outcome.
Huffines said the policy was
formulated upon recommendations
made to school officials last spring
by the Institute of Government
during its annual school law
conference.
The recommendation resulted
from a U.S. Supreme Court about
18 months ago that set precedence
for "reasonable search," she said. In
the case, the Court ruled a principal

student's purse for cigarettes after

town manager, said last week the
campus libraries are directed toward
scholars and don't have "how-to" or
instructional books directed toward
children and people in the general
community.
"Smoother traffic flow, less air
pollution, and less waiting time at
traffic lights" are the goals for street
improvements in Chapel Hill,
according to information provided
by Chapel Hill Town Council.
The town has suggested contribut
ing local funds to the state to widen
N.C. 86 between Homestead Road
and Interstate 40 and U.S. 15-501-N.C.
54 in southern Chapel Hill.
Specific projects for other road
improvements will be chosen if the
referendum passes, based on traffic
conditions, availability of state funds
and construction by private devel
opers, council says.
If the referendum is approved, the
town will combine the southern park
site with the southern fire station site.
Some of the funds for open space
area will go toward developing

the Confederation as a tribute to the
UNC students who fought for the
South in the Civil War, the statue
was taken to Cincinnati, Ohio, last
April for a $8,200 restoration by the
Karkadouliases.
In a telephone interview Monday,
Mercene Karkadoulias said Silent
Sam's facelift was completed by the
October deadline. "We were ready
to bring him back," she said.
But Bullock said University Day
and the inauguration of UNC Pres
ident CD. Spangler would have
overshadowed the statue's return.

University Day to detract from

smelling of smoke and with smoke

"The key is the reasonable suspi
cion," Huffines said. "Basically (the
policy) says students will be free from
unreasonable search."
In order to search a student or
a student's Car, school officials must
see an illegal or unauthorized article
or personally hear the student refer
to the material, Huffines said.
The policy forbids any search
stemming from rumors or anonym
ous tips, but lockers may be searched
at any time for any reason because
they are school property, Huffines
said.
"greenways," paved narrow paths
built along creeks and in wooded
areas to provide an alternative to
street travel.
"We will spend nearly $1 million
on 25 to 30 acres of land in south
Chapel Hill," Loewenthal said. "The
park will contain picnic areas, courts,
ballfields and trails, and is being built
to balance Cedar Park at Weaver
Dairy Road."
Loewenthal said the town council
would like to place the new fire
station at the entrance of the park
and provide commuter transporta
tion for those parking their cars near .
the park into Chapel Hill, probably
through a deal with Chapel Hill
Transit.
"In 1977, a town Community
Facilities Plan proposed that two
new fire stations be built in Chapel
Hill," Loewenthal said. "With more
development in south Chapel Hill,
there has been a need to better service
that area of town with a fire station."
The first of two stations was built
in 1981 at Weaver Dairy Road and

Silent Sam's homecoming," he said.
"We do want to have some type of
event to mark his homecoming."
Also, the University chose the
November date to avoid exposing
the monument to Halloween vandal
ism, Bullock said. "If we wouldVe
done it the week before (Halloween),
he wouldVe been a complete target."
Mercene Karkadoulias said she
and her husband fixed cracks on the
exterior and hollow interior of the
statue, cleaned green oxidation from
the surface and placed their secret
formula protective wax coating on
the inner and outer surfaces.
"He looks fantastic," she said. "1
think all of Chapel Hill is going to
be very excited."

In the past, school officials have
handled search and seizure on a case-by-case
basis, but the policy would
establish system-wide guidelines
both to protect the students and to
aid officials, she said.
In other business, Gerry House,
school superintendent, asked the
board to discuss ways to alleviate the
discrepancies between California

and black students in the school
system.
In a telephone interview, Huffines
said black students usually scored
about 50 percentiles lower than white
students. This year's CAT scores

from a 1978 bond referendum, the
most recent to have come onto the
ballot.
At present, the municipal building
on North Columbia Street provides
two-thirds the space recommended
for town staff. Another one-third is
necessary to hold more citizens at
meetings, council says.
The original plan for the munic
ipal building was cut short for lack
of funds when it. was first built in
1967, Loewenthal said.
The burden for Chapel Hill tax
payers would be an 11.8 percent
increase in taxes over the next three
or four years beginning no sooner
than 1987-88, according to council.
The bond would be repaid over a
20-year period.
"Chapel Hill Citizens for the Nov.

liases will restore the statue's base.
If the University takes proper care
of Silent Sam, Mercene Karkadou
lias said he should never need
complete refurbishing again.
Bullock said while the Karkadou
liases are at UNC in November, they
will also restore Caldwell Monu
ment, an obelisk memorial to former
UNC President Joseph Caldwell and
his wife. This restoration will cost
$2,300, he said.
Other than the Karkadouliases,
Bullock said there are two restorers
in the U.S. that perform the services
Silent Sam needed. He said the team
was chosen partly because of the
quality of theirwork tfrrother statues
in the state, most notably the statues
in Raleigh's Union Square.

higher grade levels, but at the same
time the gap between whites and
blacks increased, she said.
Michael Radz, assistant superin
tendent for instruction and services,
presented for the board's delibera
tion observations related to the
problem's causes made by members
of the Executive Council and the
Instructional Services Team.
Sue Baker, chairwoman of the
board, suggested limiting class size
to 15 in kindergarten through third
grades so students could get more
specialized attention while they were
first developing their reading skills.

the gap on low socio-economic
