The Downtown Commission, a task force comprised of business representatives and elected officials, has been considering the shuttle system. Passengers could ride the shuttle buses from lots on the edges of Chapel Hill and Carrboro into the downtown area. "If we could have a free shuttle, then people might not get in their cars Parking lot advantages for years which we can't afford to continue giving them," committee member Mary Beck said. Sipe said a long-range parking plan was the best solution. "Rearranging spaces and upsetting people in the University community Gift willingness to contribute to the University," she said. "It's a great example of class spirit." Ideas for the class' gift to the University came from a survey ri conducted last spring, Davidson said. Dave Brown, senior class vice president, said the class will endow three scholarships in the names of YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT'S WORTH EKIRA MONEY. Veterans. No matter which service you were in, chances are pretty good that you have a skill that's useful to a nearby Army Reserve unit. This is a good way to put part-time money in your pocket. You'll usually serve just one weekend a month plus two weeks annual training. If you're an E-5 with over four years of military experience, that could mean a healthy $2,085 a year to start.

"The purpose of the center is to enhance the quality of black life on this campus and to increase Negro awareness in the cultural aspect," Kenneth Perry, Black Student Move ment president, said. Perry said he would like to expand the center to one floor of a building with conference rooms, offices, for air-conditioned dorm rooms conditioning systems, Hicks said. The window units can be converted for use in a future central cooling system. Summer conference revenues will also absorb costs, Hicks said. "Some summer business has been turned away by the lack of air conditioning," he said.

"This would also cut down on unnecessary traffic and might resolve congestion problems."

A programming committee has been supervising the center while the director's position is vacant, Peggy Jenkins, a student member of the selection committee, said. "I'm looking for someone who would be beneficial toward the cultural aspect, in dance, drama and choral music," Jenkins said. She said she is interested in artists linked with rooms. Projected revenues for this summer, with more air-conditioned halls, are $300,000, Hicks said. Several RHA members were con cerned about the loss of students' rights to their old rooms, especially on South Campus. If South Campus residents' rooms were air conditioned and residents of the rooms preferred not to pay the additional rent, Kuncl said there would be no problem with area directors switching those resi dents to rooms without air If the town will donate buses, the task force may implement a shuttle system on a 90-day trial basis in May, Hakan said. If residents are enthu siastic, the Downtown Commission will make a proposal to the town council. Hakan said he did not foresee any red tape in getting council approval. Local individual contributions and businesses will be the primary source of funding for the project, Hakan said. After purchasing the streetcars, operating each vehicle will cost approximately $2,500, he said. "It would be something fun, where people could jump aboard the trolley. The A-lot is also necessary for employee parking because over 200 employees who work on North Campus have no parking spaces or must take a bus from South Campus lots, said Mary Clayton, director of transportation.

"Go through the drawing," Kuncl said. "If you get air conditioning and don't want it, you can be assured that someone else will." But several governors said transfer ring students from room to room would be unfair to residents who wanted to stay in a certain room or suite. Kuncl said individual units could not be moved to accommodate students, but housing will work with these students on a case-by-case basis. which would only be traveling three to five miles per hour, and then get off wherever they choose," said Hakan. "There would be no money or tickets, just a driver." The trolleys would not be exactly like those in San Francisco because they would not run on a cable-railway system. The trolleys would be repro ductions with rubber tires and would be fueled by gasoline. Hakan said student support is important for the program to be successful.
