With the increasing emphasis of
pre-mature aging and skin cancer
being directly related to constant
exposure to the sun, many sun
worshippers have sought alterna
tives to basking at the beach, lake
or pool.
These alternatives include sun
lamps, tanning booths and tan
ning beds, as well as various dyes,
pills and lotions. Among the latest
developments on the suntan
market are pre-tan accelerators
Town Council, gives approval

A joint University-town com
mittee that will study the proposed
UNC land-use plan was enthusi
astically endorsed by the Chapel
Hill Town Council Monday night.
The 50 to 60 people in the small
meeting room broke out into
applause after the Town Council
voted unanimously to endorse the
new committee.
"Maybe all this ruckus is a
blessing in disguise," said Coun
cilwoman Nancy Preston, speak
ing of the public outcry against the
land-use plan during the last few
weeks. "Maybe the University is
beginning to realize it can't operate
in a vacuum. Maybe they realize
people are watching."
The Town Council members
congratulated University officials
for their initiative in proposing the
idea of the committee to Chapel
Hill Mayor James Wallace. The
committee members will be
appointed by Wallace and UNC
Chancellor Christopher Fordham.
"I'm pleased with the way the
Town Council accepted the prop
osal," Fordham said Tuesday in

From staff reports
The long-awaited Taco Bell
planned for 120 E. Franklin St.
will probably be completed before
the end of August, said Darrell
Harris, area construction manager
for the Taco Bell corporation.
"Itll be open before school
starts (in the fall)," Harris said in
a telephone interview.
Construction had been delayed
on the project, Harris said,
because the inspection department
of the town of Chapel Hill had
requested some revisions in the
original design for the restaurant.
Harris said he was confident that
the department would approve the
new design.

lotions.
Manufacturers of these pro
ducts, which are sold under several
different brand names, claim that
the user can get darker, deeper
suntans or can 'tan without
the sun," as an Estee Lauder
advertisement says.
But some dermatologists say
that the products are merely
expensive lotions that don't actu
ally accelerate suntans.

foward to establishing the commit
tee, together with the mayor, and
setting it in motion."
Council member Jonathan
Howes said, "The Council wel
comes this (committee) as a step
in which the town and the Uni
versity can work together toward
a solution that will be acceptable
to all."
The proposed University land
use plan has caused much controv
ery since it was made public last
month. Especially criticized was
the proposal to build a new loop
road that would funnel traffic
away from the center of the
University.
This road would cut through
Battle Park and several neighbor
hoods, and some private homes
and apartment buildings would
have to be torn down to make
room for it.

Dr. Stanley Levy, a local der

"There has been a study done

Sally Vilas, representing the
Laurel Hill Resident Association,
spoke against any "forcible expro
priation" of property, saying it
would create a dangerous
precedent.
Representatives from numerous
neighborhood associations
attended the Town Council meet
ing. The residents asked that the
University act in good faith with
the town in working to iron out
the land-use plan, and that the
land-use committee meetings be
open to the public.
The University trustees origi
nally planned to vote June 26 on
the land-use plan, but because of
the storm of criticism, postponed
the vote until Aug. 28.
Now, the vote has been further
postponed until after Jan. 4 of m xt
year, when the committee plans to
make its report to the Town
Council.
