By $133, the Chapel Hill-Carr-boro
United Way surpassed its goal
of $514,000 in its ambitious 1986
fund-raising campaign, which ended
at 5 p.m. Thursday.
We were thrilled to find that we
raised more than our goal this year,"
campaign director Tom Hughes said
in a WCHL-FM radio interview
Thursday.
The citizens who helped contrib
ute deserve a big thank you from
the United Way.
"We.go into the campaign with
supreme confidence, get a little
nervous mid-way through, and find
out that, son-of-a-gun, we did meet
our goal," Hughes said later in an
interview.
This is the 37th year the United
Way has collected money for the
needy in the Chapel Hill area, and
Co-executive Director Betty Hutton
said she was proud of the support

Groups discuss issues at candlelight vigil
By MITRA LOTFI
Staff Writer
The issues of divestment and
minority affairs attracted about 65
people to a candlelight vigil at the
Franklin Street post office Thursday
night.
The UNC Anti-Apartheid Sup
port Group and the Rainbow Coa
lition, a group concerned with
minority student affairs, co
sponsored the vigil.
Despite the bitter cold, supporters
met to discuss their concerns about
UNC's investments in companies
doing business in South Africa and
about problems facing minority
students in the Carrboro-Chapel Hill

the last decade.
WeVe met our goal for the last
ten years, and yes, we are going to
meet our goal again," Hutton said
a few days prior to the end of the
campaign.
Hutton said businesses in Chapel
Hill met 76 percent of their goal;
professionals, a little more than 70
percent; public officials, 76 percent;
and retired residents, 91 percent.
Together, these sectors have raised
more than $296,000.
Sigma Nu Fraternity raised $3,000
selling T-shirts for the campaign, she
said.
Hughes said major contributions
came from IBM, Burrows
Wellcome, and Research Triangle
Park, which topped its goal of
$1 18,000 by raising $124,000.
The United Way must share its
earnings with other organizations in

a copy of a check for proof of
payment, we would have it on file
for them," Austin said.

Yonni Chapman, a Rainbow
Coalition representative, cited the
low scores of the school district's
first-graders as a signal that stronger
measures should be taken to support
their education.
"It strikes me as not surprising,
but very unfortunate, that the
University doesn't put more of its
funds into support of education in
this community than it does into
South Africa," he said.
Chapman said a committee had
been established by black leaders in
the community to provide positive
role models for local high school
minority students.

state law, the United Way must work
in coordination with a nonprofit
organization when collecting money.
Part of the contributions, there
fore, will go to the National Health
Agency, the United Negro College
Fund and the NAACP Legal
Defense Fund under the guidance of
the State Employee Combined
Campaign.
The Campaign allows state
employees to give to charity through
payroll deductions.
Benefit activities for the United
Way campaign have included a chili
cook-off sponsored by WCHL-FM
radio at Festifall on Oct. 5; "Coffee
Day", in which 22 local restaurants
agreed to give money from a day's
coffee sales to the United Way on
Oct. 10; and a Halloween party, also
sponsored by WCHL-FM, where
area businesses asked employees to
don costumes and parade around the
Ephesus Church Road and N.C. 15
501 Holiday Inn collecting money.
Because students are not typically
good record keepers, the check
safekeeping would be beneficial to
them as well, she said.
Austin said that the University
Mall branch has only opened about
four or five no-minimum accounts
since the program began on Nov. 1,
but she expects the account will be
in demand once more students learn
about it.

The other major concern of the

Board of Endowment meeting Nov.

"People are very frustrated that,
given the fact that 70 percent of the
student body, the Student Congress,
and other leaders support divest

haven't divested," said Robert Reid
Pharr, chairman of the AASG.
"We want to show them that
they've made wrong decisions," he

The original deadline for pledge
contributions was extended from
Oct. 31 to Nov. 1, but Hutton said
the delay was not unusual for the
United Way.
It is extended nearly every year
due to late donations and time spent
counting money, she said.
United Way proceeds will go to

agencies include Meals on Wheels,

Another campus issue, which
most students dont think about,
concerns the problems facing food
service workers, AASG member
Mary Leary said.
Workers are only paid minimum
wage and have lost many benefits,
such as accumulated sick pay, since
the Marriott Corp. took over ARA's
contract this summer, Leary said.
"They worked Labor Day, which
they've never done before, and they
may have to work on Christmas
Day, too," he said.
This is the first time that these two
groups have co-sponsored an event.

Offenders confront
victims.. at center
By SCOTT GROG
Staff Writer
The Orange County Dispute
Settlement Center has started a
program designed to allow vic
tims and young, small-crime
offenders to settle their conflicts
out of court and to confront each
other on a one-to-one basis.
The Victim-Offender Reconci
liation Program (VORP), one of
40 similar programs nationwide,
is the brainchild of Claire Millar,
director of the two Dispute
Settlement centers in Carrboro
and Hillsborough.
Millar said she came up with
the idea after she herself was
victimized when she First moved
to Chapel Hill.
Area high school students stole
two of her cars and drove them
into Eastwood Lake, she said.
The incident made her see a need
for a forum where victims could
tell the offenders how they felt.
VORP handles only cases
involving first offenders under 16
years' old.
"The program will handle only
non-violent cases, in the physical
sense," Millar said. "Burglary is
violent, but it's not physical."
She invited representatives of
a national organization to town
last year to determine the suita
bility of Orange County for such
a program.
Representatives from the
National Victim Reconciliation
Resource Center talked to law
yers, police officers, schools, and
judges and found that this type
of program would work well in
Orange County, she said.
Millar said she had no idea how
many cases the program would
handle, but noted that the Greens
Squid's: a taste of the sea
By ROBBY WILDERMANN
Staff Writer
Squid's, a new seafood restaurant,
will be opening soon on the N.C.
15-501 bypass.
Greg Orbeck, partial owner of the
new business, said that he expects
Squid's to be open by the end of
the month.
Squid's will have a 30-seat oyster
bar, which will serve oysters and
clams both on the half-shell and
sauteed. Mixed drinks, beer an4
wine will also be available. . i
In addition to the oyster bar J '
Squid's will have a 100-seat restau-
rant area. Orbeck said items on the
menu will cost between $4 and $12,
and the average 2-person meal will
90st somewhere around $20. While
the menu will be mostly seafood,
other items such as pasta or chicken
will be available for those who don't
want seafood.
The Spirit of Christ has Returned!
"...Lo! He Who is the Ruler is come. Step out from
behind the veil in the name of thy Lord, He Who
layeth low the necks of all men. Proclaim then unto
all mankind the glad-tidings of this mighty, this
glorious Revelation. Verily, He Who is the Spirit of
Truth is come to guide you unto all truth. He
speaketh not as prompted by His own self, but as
bidden by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the
All-Wise." . -Revealed by Baha V llah

last year.
District attorneys and juvenile
court judges who come across
situations that they feel would be
better handled out of the cour
troom refer cases to VORP,
Millar said ' '
"These officials seem to be very
excited about the new program
and what it hopes to do," she said.
The other victim-offender pro
grams have received very positive
feedback, she said, adding that
she is optimistic about the influ
ence VORP will have.
"It has so much impact on an
offender to have to face the
person they victimized," Millar
said. "It also helps the victims
learn from their negative expe
riences and get something positive
out of it.
"Both parties are given the
opportunity to have input into
what they feel should be done
about the conflict, including
restitution," she said.
She said there was a case she
heard of that was handled by
another agency where the amount
of stolen property totaled $1,000
and the restitution was only $50.
The Dispute Settlement Center
is a United Way agency that
settles disputes including landlord
problems, business deals and
divorces. It is located at 302
Weaver St. in Carrboro and 118
Churchton St. in Hillsborough.
The majority of the staff is made
up of 45 volunteers from varied
backgrounds such as lawyers,
social workers and students.
Ten volunteers will be trained
in January to deal with victim
offender mediation.
Squid's will also open a fresh
seafood market in the same building.
Squid's is located on the former
site of Sonny's Barbecue. Orbeck
said that while the Sonny's Barbecue
chain has been doing well in other
places in the Southeast, their format
just wasn't what Chapel Hill resi
dents wanted. He expects that
Squid's coastal-style of preparing
food should be far more popular.
All four partners of the new
( restuarant,have; lived in fhe Chapel
Hill area , for. many years,, said
Orbeck. Mickey EweU, the principal
owner of Squid's, also owns Span
ky's restaurant on Franklin Street.
Orbeck said he expects hours for
the new restaurant to be 11:30 a.m.
to 2:30 p.m. for lunch, and 5 p.m.
to 10 p.m. for dinner. The oyster bar
will be open from 11:30 a.m. to
closing, and the seafood market will
be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
