Tax proposal held another year
By MARK EVANS
Staff Writer
A $1 fee on tickets to the Smith
Center also known as the enter
tainment tax will not be presented
to the N.C. General Assembly until
July 1989 at the earliest, Mayor
Jonathan Howes said this week.
If the tax proposal is approved by
the Legislature, a public hearing
would determine whether to adopt or
reject the proposal. If adopted, the
bill would go back to the General
Assembly for final approval.
The proposal was granted a pre
liminary hearing on March 28 and
referred to Town Manager David
Taylor to review and present again
to the town council at a later date.
Howes said the tax is "an appro
priate way for the town to raise
money.
The tax on tickets to athletic and
entertainment events could bring as
much as $600,000 in revenue to
Chapel Hill.
The proposal has generated mixed
responses from town officials. The
Daily Tar Heel reported in April that
some members of the town council
favored the proposal as an opportun
ity for incoming chancellor Paul
Hardin to show willingness to help
town-gown relations. But other
members said the tax is unnecessary
because the town does not need
additional revenue.
Steve Camp, former director of the
Smith Center, said the tax would
affect the center's ability to be
competitive with other arenas.

before the fall semester, and plans to
close it eventually are still pending,
said Gordon Rutherford, director of
facilities planning.
Rutherford said Monday that
plans to relocate, in order to give the
undergraduate admissions office
more space, are under consideration
until the dean of student affairs,
Donald Boulton, can review the
plans.'
Dwayne Jenkins, an employee of
the Circus Room, said the snack bar
will not close until a new spot is found
for relocation.
"We will most likely be here next
year. We will be here until the
planning office can find us a new
place on North Campus, because we
cater mostly to students," he said.
Officials would not confirm earlier
reports that the undergraduate
admissions office would take over the
space.
A space in Cobb Residence Hall
had been a possibility for a new
Circus Room, but security measures
would prevent this.
Jenkins said, "The snack bar stays
open until 11 p.m. during the regular
school year and Cobb is all girls,
which could cause security
problems."

associations. The scholarship is
renewable for recipients who show
continued need and academic
