Campuns leaders re-opem job service for stadeints By MYRNA MILLER Staff Writer Students who need a part-time job but are tired of staring at classifieds or don have time to search can find help from the Student Part-Time Employment Service. The employment service, which has been closed since mid-October of 1987, is scheduled to re-open Feb. 3 in Suite C, Room 217 E of the Student Union, said Erika Birg, a senior from Elmhurst, 111., student adviser to the service. The employment service pro vides students a chance to look for a job listing and find out what they are interested in, Birg said. "Once this is done, the student makes all contact with the employer," she said. Jobs available include child care services, secretarial positions and recreational jobs, such as swim ming instructors for the Town of Chapel Hill, Birg said. Most of the jobs pay above minimum wage, she Officials plain renovations for Carolina Inn By BRIAN toCOLLUM Staff Writer Architects are in the preliminary stages of planning for renovations on the 62-year-old Carolina Inn, hotel officials said Thursday. Gene Watson, general manager of the Carolina Inn, said a meeting with the Richmond, Va. architectural firm Glave, Newman, and Anderson will be scheduled within the next two weeks to discuss renovation plans and costs. The 143-room Carolina Inn, built in 1924 as a private hotel, has been run by the University since 1935. Watson emphasized that the plans Carrboro community center under consideration By SUSAN ODENKIRCHEN Staff Writer Carrboro may build a new com munity center in the near future, according to town and recreation officials. "School facilities are now being used to meet the demand for recrea tional purposes, but they are being Outgrown," said Carrboro Parks and Recreation Director Richard Kinney at Tuesday's Board of Aldermen meeting. A center is needed to accommodate the growth in the area, Libraries "stitute 5 percent of the Law Library acquisitions. The decrease in purchasing power 'without a comparable increase in the budget has caused the Law Library to fall in national ranking from 41st "in 1985 to 43rd in 1987, Gasaway said. Gasaway said also the Law Library rs not funded at the level of other libraries on campus.

" The next renovation project for the housing administration will be either Old East, Old West or the Triad area, Kuncl said. A fund-raising campaign will take place for those renovations. "We're right on schedule as far as the work being done on the build ings," he said.

Former Student Body President Paul Parker started the employ ment service in 1983, but Student Government did not adequately support the service, said service treasurer Sean Phelan, a senior from Washington. "This year it is going to be a part of the Executive Branch of Student Government," he said. The employment service will operate under a new director, Lori Smith, a senior from Jacksonville. "The main thing I'm concerned with right now is getting volunteers to work with it," Smith said. "If we cant staff it, it is not going to happen." Birg said she still is looking for volunteers to staff the service. Students interested in volunteering are in a very early stage, and no definite decisions have been made. "We're going to sit down with the architects and give them our ideas of what we envision being done," he said. Watson said that renovations on older sections of the hotel will be first priority. "They've reached the age where something has to be done on them one way or another," he said. Carolina Inn officials named sev eral renovation goals they have in mind, including: a upgrading heating, plumbing and air conditioning in over 100 older he said. Kinney said that specific plans have not been made to build a community center, but he presented aldermen with cost estimates for different recreational facilities that could be included in the center. "The board directed us to go back and take the estimates and retain an architectural planning firm to con duct a feasibility study for the center," he said. Kinney said a center might contain 42,000 square feet and cost $2.82 vost, said the Academic Affairs Library receives over $10 million in state appropriations. But he said the library has other supplemental resources that would total about $500,000. The Law Library receives approx imately $1 million from state funds, Smith said.

The service will be open four or five days a week, three or four hours a day, although hours cannot be permanently set until all staff volunteers are chosen, she said. Suzanne Collins, a junidr from Durham, said she thinks the service will be useful to students. "I think it is a very good idea because a lot of students don't have the time to spend on looking for a job," she said. "I never knew about this service, but now that I do 111 certainly use it." Marcia Harris, director of Uni versity Career Planning and Place ment Service (UCPPS), also said the program can be beneficial. "I think if it is well-run, there is a lot of potential," she said.

This would be one of the largest renovations ever undertaken by the hotel, Watson said. The last major renovation took place in 1969.

Alderman Hillard Caldwell said the center will be a priority for him. "This (center) has been a dream of mine since I came on the board," he said. """" Caldwell said he would like to see the center placed in Carrboro's community park on NC 54. "So we don't have to purchase land, we'd like to locate the center on land we already own," he said.

The voter registration drive, spon sored by the UNC Student Govern ment Voter Registration Project and the Orange County Board of Elec tions, provides students the oppor tunity to register. Registration, which began on Jan. 11 and is running to Feb. 8, takes place at the Union or in residence halls across campus. "I really do not think a lot of people would vote without us trying to promote this," said John Edwards, co-chairman of the voter registration project. "Another reason why we're doing this is that in North Carolina you can't register by mail. "Most people want to vote but don't go out actively to find a place to vote. If we're here to help them register, the whole process is easier," he said. Edwards said he would like to see a voter registration drive occur every semester. "There are enough town elections every year," he said. "Students are affected by the town and should want to vote." for preserving historic ambiance in past renovation projects. "I don't think that maintaining the tradition of the Carolina Inn is best served by putting in the steel and glitter you find in other hotels," he said. " Edward Rehkopf, director of the University's hotel and conference centers, said actual renovation work is at least 18 months away. He said he hopes the renovations are finished in time for the University's bicenten nial celebration, which begins in 1993. "The Carolina Inn will be a central part of the activities," he said. "We want to be ready." could be ideal for the center," he said. "We've created it so it would fit into any zone in Carrboro." Caldwell said the definition of a community center was "a place where activities can be held in a building that's built by the town for the town. "It would clearly be a public venture," Caldwell said. "I don't like the idea of a community recreational center for the town that is partly private as well as public. It should be all public or nothing as far as I'm concerned." 7 . 1 ' The Daily Voter Registration on Campus Feb. 1-5, Feb. 8.

By registering in Orange County, a student can vote for all elections in Orange County. Where students vote depends upon which precinct they live in. Because the Super Tuesday pri mary falls during UNC's spring break, the drive is also providing request forms for absentee ballots for voting in Orange County.

Registering takes about three minutes, said Patti Hurst, a registrar from Orange County and UNC senior. Identification and proof of residency are required to register. A letter addressed to a person's campus address is sufficient proof of residency. A person already registered to vote in another county may reregister to vote in Orange County, but the original registration must be can celed, Hurst said. Forms to cancel the previous registration are available at the registration tables. Roundup David R. Hooper, of 108 B Bolinwood Apartments, told police his car was locked.
