Linda's, a local watering hole of
the early 1980s noted for its practi
cally priced pitchers, is back. But this
time it boasts baseball pitchers as well
as beer pitchers, because Linda's is
a sports bar.

"You know the kind of special ham
that your mom always fixed for
Christmas Day dinner, and then you
kept picking at.it because you
couldn't get enough? Well, that's the
sort of personal touch we want to give
at Linda's, but youH get enough,"
Williams said. -
She said she also hopes to give even
more of a Southern flair to the bar

"We seem to really be attracting
the food and beverage crowd, espe
cially after midnight," said bartender
Guy Guarino. "There's really no place
to get a decent and affordable meal
that late around here."
And Linda's prices will not over
whelm the student budget. Long-neck
beers are $1.25 and burgers begin at
$2.95. ,
The bar and grill, which opened
Oct. 6, is already making plans to
expand its menu, especially for lunch.
"We're very limited in storage space
right now, but we're trying to change
world hunger.
"There is nothing like seeing
starving children first-hand. It made
me never want to eat again in my
life."
The 20-member committee has two
goals: to educate students about
world hunger and to take action
locally and globally against world
hunger, Massachi said.
Locally, the members of the
Hunger Action Committee volunteer
for the Orange County Soup Kitchen
and help with the Inter-Faith Coun
cil's food drive, she said.
The committee also sponsors
Oxfam America, a fast, in November
and offers a number of educational
forums during the year, she said. The
committee hopes to promote national
policies to stop world hunger through
their association with Results, a
political action committee in
Washington, D.C.
The committee hoped to destroy
myths about world hunger during the
banquet, Massachi said.
"We want to graphically describe
the differences between First and
Third World countries," she said.
Four of the people in attendance ate
a First World meal, six of the people
in attendance ate a Second World
meal of soup, bread, apples and
cheese, and the rest, about 60 people,
ate a Third World meal of rice and
tea. Afterward, everyone ate some of
the First World meal of pizza, cold
cuts, vegetables, cheese, bread and
cookies.
, "There is enough food in the world
for the number of people and growing
more food would not alleviate world .
hunger," Lutton-Taylor said. "The
real problem is one of justice. The
rich have the money to have food and
the poor have nothing."
Steve Haase, a student who
attended the banquet, said, he didn't
realize how large, the Third World
actually is. "That's a big group," he
said. "I never thought how big it
would be."
After everyone ate his meal, the
group discussed what they had
learned and what action they would
take.
"We all paid $2 to participate
tonight, but only some of us get to
eat a good meal," one student said.
"And none of us asked to be born
in the United States, and we probably
don't work as hard as those in
Ethiopia, but we get so much more
opportunity."

the problem by not wasting food,

buying from small farmers rather
than processed food from grocery
store chains, Lutton-Taylor said.

the old Linda's was drink a lot of
beer, has had previous experience in
managing restaurants.

worked at Chapel Hill Country Club.

OCC death penalty:
in drag-i-elated cases
By ERIK DALE FLIPPO
Staff Writer
Debate over the legality and
morality of capital punishment has
become a hot issue this campaign
season, experts and campaign
staffers agree.
The Senate voted 64-25 for an
amendment to allow capital pun
ishment for drug-related killings as
it debated a $2.6 billion drug bill
last week.
The death penalty has become
an issue in recent years because
of the presidential elections,
according to UNC political science
professor Thad Beyle.
"It has become a litmus test of
who is tough and who isnt," Beyle
said.
Politicians who oppose capital
punishment will appear soft on
crime and have problems in this
election, he said.
The Senate vote probably
resulted from increased pressure
from capital punishment propo
nents, Beyle said. Because of the
proximity of the Nov. 8 elections,
many senators seeking re-election
may have felt pressured to vote for
such an important issue to please
their constituents, he said.
"That isn't to say a lot don't feel
that way," Beyle said. "But this
close to the election, chicanery and
posturing are part of the game."
The presidential candidates
have made clear their divergent
views on the death penalty.
Massachusetts Gov. Michael
Dukakis has pointed to extensive
: studies showing there is no corre-:
lation between crime rates and the
use of the death penalty, said Tripp
Jones, a Dukakis campaign press
aide.
"Massachusetts (which does not
have the death penalty) has the
lowest murder rate of any indus
trial state," Jones said. "It's less
than half of the national average.

Staff Writer ,
In an effort to make county
government more efficient, Orange
County is sponsoring a study of
community services provided by
Orange County, Chapel Hill and
Carrboro.
Orange County Manager John .
Link said it is an equity study, to
"deterrnine if there are any gaps or
overlaps of service delivery."
Jake Wicker, a professor of public
law and government at UNC, said
the study would take a "slice in time"
approach to the past fiscal year to
determine "what citizens get served
by what service."
The study will uncover any over
laps of service that exist between the
three areas of Orange County, Chapel
Hill and Carrboro.

According to McGuire, Williams

her relatives own the property of her'y
most recent establishment.

restaurant business in the '60s, said :
she has always intended to open

Many of the high-crime states do
have the death penalty."
Dukakis believes the. death
penalty to be an "illusory way" of
fighting crime, Jones said. Instead,
the' governor would work as
president to provide state and local
law , enforcement officials with
"effective means" the best
equipment and communications
resources available to fight
crime, he said..
Dukakis would double the
number of drug enforcement
agents in the next five years, using
drug-bust forfeitures to pay for the
extra personnel, Jones said. He
would also use the military in the
drug war and "wage an all-out
effort to freeze and seize drug
profits," Jones said.
"George Bush has talked
tough," he said. "However, his
record doesn't match his words."
Vice President Bush supports
capital punishment, said Scott
Gregory, communications direc
tor for the N.C. Bush campaign.
"He supports the death penalty
because he feels it will be a
deterrent," Gregory said.
Bush advocates capital punish
ment in cases involving the death
of police officers and multiple
murders as a result of drugs, he
said.
. The Bush campaign's drug
policy fact sheet says Bush will
support the de,ath penalty "for
drug kingpins and drug-related
murders" and that he will appeal
for expediting, drug death penalty
cases through the court system. '
The vice president thinks capital f
punishment will be an effective
deterrent because tougher penal
ties are hard to come by, Gregory
said.
"It is a certain sign to people
involved in drugs that we're
serious about the problem and
there is a price to pay," he said.

Link said the study will be general,',
It will look at, for example, library ,
systems and methods of animal,
control. "Each equity has its own
forces of animal control," he said.

Wicker said the study will provide ;
a general background on future,

"We want a. clear picture of who;

There are no preconceived ideas
concerning the study's results, Wicker ,
said. It will provide some guidelines,
for determining how services and;

in the future, Wicker said. -, ,
