The Daily Tar HeelFriday, November 13, 19873 to Jholdl eelblk aiuicMoH By SUSAN KAUFFMAN Staff Writer . The Carrboro Police Depart ment will clean out its storage closets this Saturday with an auction to sell unclaimed or con fiscated property accumulated over the past few years. Town officials will roll 38 bicy cles onto the auction block at 10 a.m. to start the event in the town hall parking lot. The bikes range in size and condition, according to Tim Blake, the town purchasing agent in charge of the auction. "Theoretically, if no other per son is interested, a $1 bid could purchase the bike," Blake said. He said he hesitated to estimate bicycle prices, which will depend on the bidders offers. In addition to the bikes, the police department will sell unclaimed, lost or : confiscated property such as car stereo cassette systems and televisions, Blake said. Proceeds from the sale of the items will be donated to the Orange County school system, as specified by state law, Blake said. ; i The money is placed in the school system's miscellaneous fund unless the amount is especially large, said Helen Austin, secretary to the superintendent of the Orange County school system. In that case, the finance officer will consult with the superintendent about where the money is needed, she said. "It's not anything that's in the budget that we really count on" Austin said. "It's not that much money. It doesn't come regularly.". The town will also auction two vehicles, which Blake said are "in working condition. Bidding for, a 1983 Plymouth police car will begin at $100, and tne minimum bid for a 1974 Datsun pickup truck is $250, he saicl.; . ; . The sale of the vehicles, along, with town surplus goods such as 10 Olympic festival banners, office machines and calculators, will augment the town coffer, Blake said. . ,' . Auction organizers will tag all items and assign bid numbers with the bidder's name and address. Purchasers must be present to bid and pay with cash or a check. ; The auction is not - an annual, event, but a fund-raiser to clear out .accumulated property, Blake said. -"What we try to do is clean up 'around town the . surplus equip ment and things that - have been collecting around the police depart ment for, the past two or three years," he said. .

According to Roy Carroll, the The trends have been encouraging and we expect them to continue," Barnes said. "There should be no major surprises." Figures show that the number of 18- to 24-year-old North Carolinians is expected to drop 2.3 percent between 1986 and 1990, although enrollment by in-state students Sciences and the School of Business Administration would become the Graduate School of Business Administration.

Barnes attributed the expected Local United Way hits fund-raisin g target By KARI BARLOW Staff Writer The Chapel Hill-Carrboro United Way has reached its fund-raising goal of $593,000 with the annual October campaign to benefit local and state member agencies. "I think most everyone felt like we'd reach the goal," said Betty Hutton, co-director of the local United Way. "WeVe always been confident." . The campaign, which continued for more than a month, began Oct. 1. The local United Way held its victory celebration Wednesday at the Smith Center. , The goal last year was $514,000, determining the needs of the member the community is heightened," Tesch according to Sue Schroeder, "co- agencies, established the goal of the said. director of the local United Way. .The fund-raiser.

"It costs more to build a parking deck per car than it does to build a residence hall per person," Schroeder said. He said he does recognize the need for additional parking, however. "Parking is a royal pain." Funding for the Carolina Gay and Lesbian Association was also discussed. Bailey said he does not believe the CGLA should be deprived of funds from student activities fees, and that the 1 Student Congress- should not consider the outcome of the referen dum vote when it decides which groups should be funded. "You can't always go with the majority opinion," he said. "A lot of people who vote no their only opinion is from the DTH headlines. They don't know anything about the organization. They just think it's a group of gays and vote no because they dont like gays.

The second part of the revision involved new system-wide admission requirements, which will go into effect in 1990. The committee voted to implement a series of measures to publicize the new requirements. "The real burden is to see that we get the information out," Carroll said. "We need to make sure students are ; taking the right courses." The tougher admission standards will require applicants to take more English, math, history and science courses in high school.
