Board considers

One possible solution to trans
portation problems in Chapel Hill
may be on the way.
The Chapel Hill Planning
Board approved a revamped
transportation management ordi
nance after it heard suggestions
and questions from the Chapel
Hill Town Council. But the plan
ning board decided to wait before
making a final referral until after
a public hearing on April 18.
"What this ordinance will do is
lessen the effects of new develop
ments on existing traffic prob
lems," said Lisa Mundt, Chapel
Hill Transportation Planner.
The ordinance would apply only
to business complexes that accom
modate about 50 employees,
which roughly corresponds to a
20,000 square-foot office building.
Developers would be forced to get
a special use permit from the town
before they could build.
The ordinance would only cover
commercial developments. Resi
dential developments and Univer
sity property would not come
under the requirements of the
plan.
"It's much more difficult to
enforce traffic ordinances in resi
dential areas and University juris
diction," Mundt said. "This is in
the interest of improving existing
problems."
The planning board is trying to
encourage carpools, vanpools and
any alternate form of transporta
tion that would help decrease the
number of single-occupancy cars
on the road, she said.
Once an application for a permit
is received, the criteria for review
include:
H how much additional traffic
will be generated by the building
or complex.
B the number of on-site and
additional parking spaces gener

the location of the develop
ment relative to major streets,

and commercial shopping and
eating establishments.
existing traffic problems.
The ordinance also contains a
conditional approval limitation
that enables the town council to
place certain restrictions or
requirements on the applicant to
ensure local traffic and transpor
tation needs are met.
Margaret Taylor, Alliance of
Neighborhoods public informa
tion officer, said that although the
group has not formally debated
the ordinance, she is not opposed
to it.
"What the board is trying to do
is change people's transportation
habits," Taylor said. "But the
ordinance will not pertain to the
University or residential neighbor
hoods, so it's really not going to
do anything."
The proposal is a spin-off of a
much stronger plan that was pre
sented about four years ago with
the formation of the Chapel Hill
Growth Management Task Force,
she said.
"Every year it gets more and
more watered down," she said.
Commercial developer Joseph
Hakan of HakanCorley and
Associates of Chapel Hill spoke
in opposition to the ordinance at
a joint meeting of the planning
board and town council last week,
but was not available for
comment.
The ordinance is based on a
similar law enacted in Pleasanton,
Calif., in 1984 that has effectively
reduced the number of vehicles on
the town's most used roads during
peak congestion hours.

CBooinc offers contraceptive coo nselio
By SAMANTHA NEWMAN

The Contraceptive Health Educa
tion Clinic (CHEC), operated
through the Student Health Service
since the 1970s, offers individual and
group counseling on contraceptive
issues, according to Susan Edelstein,
a counselor with the service.
"We try to give out facts, as
straightforward and unbiased as
possible, so that the individual can
make an informed choice about
which contraceptive method to use,"
Edelstein said.
Discussion centers on the effective
ness of various contraceptive devices
for disease and pregnancy prevention,
she said.
"Before you go on birth control,
you need to know your options,"
Edelstein said. "While the pill is a
good protection from pregnancy,

It's foolish for a white male to say,
'I understand this feeling.' It's impos
sible. But it's necessary to say 'I will
try to understand, and I will come
and listen.' "
All groups, no matter what their
beliefs, should be free to speak on
campus, Hardin said.
The CIA should also be free to
recruit at the University, he said. "I
am a civil libertarian," he said. "I
believe in a free platform with no
prior restraint, and I believe in free
access to the University for prospec
tive employers. . . . Once you begin
to discriminate, where do you draw
the line?"
Asked to comment on weaknesses
he saw at the University, Hardin said:
"It's a lot more comfortable to talk
about obvious strengths than to talk
about alleged weaknesses. Ill wait
and form my own judgments."
One of his own weaknesses, Hardin
said, was his lack of experience
working for a large public university.
"The very thing that makes some
people wonder if I'm sane is what
attracts me here," he said. "Some
thing I have not done in a very
interesting life, full of experience and
full of a lot of happiness and satis

condoms are also effective and, aside
from abstinence, they provide the
greatest protection from disease."
The free contraceptive counseling
is required for every woman using
birth control for the first time through
SHS.
The biggest challenge for the clinic
is making students aware of its
services. "Anybody can come by and
get information," Edelstein said. "We
don't get enough students who just
want information. You don't have to
be on the pill to come in and talk
to us."
The clinic offers two types of
counseling, group and individual.
Group counseling, sponsored
through residence halls and Greek
organizations, expands on the topics
covered in individual counseling.
"Group counseling is really effec
tive," Edelstein said. "We move past
faction, is to preside over a large
public university with all of these
political processes and structures. I'd
like to give it a try."

"I hope we can handle things
through the appropriate channels and
not through backdoor appropria

Because Cobb had not seen a copy
of the report, he refused to comment
on whether the amount of money
requested was reasonable.
Sen. Marvin Ward (D-20th), chair
man of the senate education appro
priations committee, said the legisla
ture could provide $11 million
annually for UNC, but problems
would arise if other campuses in the
UNC system requested equivalent
funds.
Sen. Dan Simpson (R-27th) said
such a large request indicated a degree
of negligence on the University's part.
"This indicates to me that someone
hasn't been keeping up with repairs,"
he said. "Someone's been derelict in

The AIDS scare has increased
student anxieties about sexually
transmitted diseases, she said. "Four
or five years ago, people weren't as
concerned about sexually
transmitted diseases," Edelstein said.
"They were there, mostly in the form
of chlamydia, genital warts and
gonorrhea, but it wasn't the same."
FATE (Fight AIDS Through
Education) is a special CHEC group
session that addresses fears about the
disease. "People are scared about
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency
syndrome)," Edelstein said. "Even
though there have only been two or
three cases reported on campus,
statistics show that for every case
reported, there are 50 people affected

"If the study is valid, well be saving

Parks Helms, a Democratic can

former state representative from
Charlotte, said it would be "penny

allocate sufficient funds for
maintenance.
Helms, who was an undergraduate
and a law student at Chapel Hill, said
he can see the maintenance problems
when he visits the campus.

The greatest sex-related fear for
students besides disease is pregnancy.
CHEC is not involved with preg
nancy counseling. "We're very spe
cialized," Edelstein said. "We counsel
on contraceptive methods. Pregnancy
counseling is provided by Student
Health and Planned Parenthood." .
Edelstein said that the program is
up-to-date and relevant to today's
college student. "A lot has changed
with AIDS," she said. "A few years
ago, the biggest concern was preg
nancy. Now, people realize that it's
important to protect yourself from
diseases as well. We want to respond
to this concern by raising awareness
about STDs (sexually-transmitted
diseases) and condom use."

"$11 million out of a $10 billion
budget is a relatively small amount,"
he said. "It's just a question of
priorities."
Helms agreed with Ward that other
campuses in the UNC system may
want more money if UNC's request
is met.
"I don't want to have to give each
campus the same amount of money,"
he said. "Allocation should be based
on relative need."
Maintenance at UNC and N.C.
State University should be a high
priority because they are the flagships
of the UNC system, Helms said.
