As the number of women entering the work force increases every year, the need for efficient daycare services also increases. ' The Victory Village Daycare Cen ter has provided University students and faculty with a high-quality day care service for 35 years. To cele brate its service to the University, the center will have a pig picking on October 15 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the center. Mary Bridges, director of the cen ter, said she and staff members have tried to contact all the parents and children the center has served over the past 35 years. "We encourage all the supporters of the center to attend this event," Bridges said. "We have also invited the UNC faculty and administration to our celebration." Seventy-five percent of the cen ter's children belong to UNC stu dents, while the other 25 percent are the staff and faculty's children, Bridges said. "We have a total of 64 children from 12 different countries. This mixture of different cultures has proven to be an advantage to the children and their parents. It is very much a learning experience for . everyone." Bridges said the primary purpose of the center is to take good care of the children and keep them safe, but the center also provides the children with an excellent child-development program. "Our child development program covers the physical, intel lectual, social, emotional and nutri tional development of the children," she said. Our teachers are well trained and work with the kids in very small groups." Tyndall Harris, a graduate stu dent in the School of Education and ja parent, said, "What's tremendous about Victory Village is that it does jvery well in providing quality care !for children. They have a relatively jlow staff-child ratio, and their philo sophy is to get staff members who !not only have educational back bounds, but also people who care labout the kids. ! "I feel very comfortable in leaving Imy children at Victory Village," iHarris said. "My children have been !at the center since June, and I am Ivery pleased with the program." Bridges said the center treated children with respect as if they were at home with their parents. . Every parent must dedicate at least 12 hours a year to the center. These hours may take the form of a "work Saturday," where parents and staff members gather to paint, clean up and repair the center. Crime according to the report. The couch was later returned by fraternity members. The stolen table was recovered by campus police. "I'm really not at liberty to say much about it," Lewis said. "I was not instructed to do it by the frater nity. We took the furniture with the intention to take it back the next day. "What gets me is that they're saying the pledge trainer might be in trouble. He didn't have anything to do with it." Lewis said he had not been told to take the furniture, but that it is something that pledges have always done.

"Being on cam pus gives us an unlimited number of resources to help our kids learn and also gives us access to a develop ment and training program for our staff. "Our presence on campus has been an advantage to the University as well, with several departments having conducted studies on our children. There have also been stu dies about parents in college, and our center has been an excellent way for researchers to get in touch with them." The University has aided the cen ter by providing the building and paying its utilities. But to maintain the 47-year-old building, the center depends on its supporters. The majority of the money needed to run the center comes from fees paid by parents. Raffles, book fairs and other fund-raisers provide the remainder of the funds. The high cost of maintaining the center and the rising demand for its t mm s Annarose Holland and Justin sorority, also declined comment. "I'd really rather not say anything about it," she said.

The committee is made up of eight par ents, two staff members and two people from the Chapel Hill community. The committee began planning the new center to accommodate 130 children last fall by contacting the School of Design at N.C. State Uni versity. They asked an architecture professor if designing the new center could be a project of three design students, Bridges said. The three students then met with the committee, staff and parents to get an idea of the size, kinds of rooms and playground needed. But after discussing the plans, the design students decided that the new center couldn't be built next to the present center while it was still in operation. The committee then went to Gor don Rutherford, director of UNC Facilities Planning and Design, to see about a possible site on campus to build the new center.

Beginning in early July, Record. Bar was closed for renovations. Reopened by the third week in July, the store had taken on a different appearance. The wood floor is gone. The store replaced the oak door with glass. A tiled ramp took the place of the step off the sidewalk. And the stained glass was removed, allowing the new smoky glass store front, lined with black and white ceramic tiles, to open up to Franklin Street. Changes have been made inside the store as well. Record Bar installed new fixtures to improve lighting and a new heating and air conditioning system for customer comfort, Cappelletti said. Record Bar has also increased its stock by 20 percent, carrying more compact discs and cassettes than previously possible. The store has especially increased its selection of classics, according to Richard Layne, Record Bar manager. Cappelletti said many other area Record Bars are experiencing sim ilar changes. Record Bar is undergo ing a major four-year renovation program, during which time they hope to reach a large portion of their 150 stores. The South Square store in Durham was renovated last year, the North Hills store in Raleigh will be finished this week, Rutherford didn't promise a site for the new center, he let the students look at a possible location, Bridges said. : The students then designed a 94 page book about the present center, the plans for the new one and the various options that were consi dered.

Cappelletti said he thought other stores on Franklin Street could ren ovate without destroying the village atmosphere of Chapel Hill. "Many people say 'just because it's old it should be retained,' but you have to weigh that," he said. "Wood with 10 coats of paint on it is better off replaced." Record Bar led the parade of ren ovations on Franklin Street with the oak look about 10 years ago, Cap pelletti said. They are now hoping to do the same with the European style glass and ceramic tiles, he said. "Old Record Bar, as much as we liked it, was getting run down," Layne said. "It was time to do some work on it." Record Bar had to adjust to the modern marketing trends in today's music, Layne said. In other words, compact discs and cassettes are sel ling more than albums, and the store had to accommodate the trend. These changes have had an enor mous effect on business, according : to Layne.
