Costs for decorating the base ment and printing T-shirts totaled about $2,500, Schmier said. The lack of a corporate sponsor and problems with T-shirt sales contrib uted to problems, he said. Aside from a $500 grant from the Residence Hall Association, revenue came from ticket and T shirt sales, Schmier said. But haunted house-goers said they were pleased with the trans formation. uIt was twice as fun as it was scary," said Ken Lennon, a sophomore from Bladenboro. Some of the more popular parts of the layout included the tunnel of mattresses that began the tour and the "Grimes reaper" at the end.

"Why does this particular company (Domino's) get this service?" Scadden said other pizza deliveries should have been allowed to offer the service also. "It wasn't right just to give it to Domino's without involving the other pizza places in Chapel Hill," Scadden said Thursday. "According to what IVe heard, it hasn't been fair. They didn't give any other pizza places a chance."

Students called this the most frightening part of the tour, as well as the most treacherous. Many said they lost their shoes. Dave Warlick, a senior from Lincolnton, said he thought the house was "very well done," espe cially since organizers had less space to work with. Junior Kim Hawkins said she thought the burn center was a worthy cause, and that influenced her decision to come to the house. She said she enjoyed the haunted house, and organizers did a good job of making it scary.

Bill Dux, director of Carolina Dining Services, said food service officials evaluated area pizza delivery services and chose Domino's because they felt the company could do the best job.

After hearing the demands and going into a closed session, the board unanimously passed a resolution to decline to comment further and to defend and support the First Amend ment rights of all persons. At the meeting, Ken Sandler, a graduate student and CFD member, read an open letter condemning the board's handling of the McKinley case and accusing board members of denying McKinley a fair trial because of a BOT resolution passed last spring concerning student activists. CFD members believe the BOT is stifling freedom of expression on campus, Sandler said.

" . . V ' Funds from UNC trademark royal ties will be transferred to the Student Aid Office for student scholarships, according to a resolution passed by the Board of Trustees at their Friday meeting. When the trademark licensing program was created in 1982, 50 percent of the money was intended for athletic department scholarships and 50 percent for the Student Aid Office. While the athletic department has been using its half of the money for its intended purpose, an oversight caused the other half to go to an unrestricted endowment fund instead of the Student Aid Office. "The intentions were there, but there was a breakdown in actions," Stuart Hathaway said. Hathaway is the executive assistant for Students for Educational Access (SEA), the Both gave other reasons for the gradual decrease in the number of people shopping downtown, including: B lack of available parking because students are filling municipal lots; B increased building and develop ment outside the town; and 9 increased competition from the Student Stores. The misperceptions of town resi dents also have hurt , downtown businesses, Julian said. "Local people just dont come down here because they believe there is no parking and no variety of going to deal with as their suppliers." If the contract had been with the University, it would have required that all area pizza businesses be allowed to submit bids or estimates of how much the service would cost, Antle said. Officials considered companies' liability insurance and health and sanitation ratings in making the decision, Dux said. Domino's 30 minute guarantee, national image and resources in the area gave it the edge. "We wanted someone that would portray the same image as Carolina Dining Service, Dux said. "Domi no's has a quality image that we thought was up to the University." mortals be! - ouera received in a January trial. McKinley walked out on his Grad uate Student Court trial Oct. 20 because the court would not allow him to submit evidence against the CIA as part of his defense. McKinley was brought before the court on four charges: obstructing the normal operations of the University during a Feb. 23 incident at the University Motor Inn and obstruc tion, trespassing and disorderly conduct at an April 15 demonstration in Hanes Hall. The CFD letter referred to a resolution which called anti-CIA protesters a "bad lot" guilty of committing "violent, terrorist acts." The resolution written by trustee John Pope was issued on Feb. 26. The student court appellate process stipulates that appeals would be heard first by an appeals committee, then go to the chancellor. A further appeal most likely would go to the BOT. Because the appellate process could possibly include the BOT, the board has violated McKinley's right to an impartial hearing on appeal and Aod Owoc may ' student government committee that investigated the royalty funds and formed the resolution. The resolution, which was first passed Thursday by the BOT Aca demic and Student Affairs Commit tee and then by the entire BOT Friday, requests that the balance of the funds from the Trademark Licensing Program, estimated at $321,000 plus interest, be transferred from the Endowment Fund into an Institutional Trust Fund created solely for student scholarships. The resolution must be approved by the Endowment Board, which will meet in November. Eleanor Morris, Student Aid direc tor, said if the money is made available to Student Aid, they will develop a proposal for the distribu tion of the funds, which would then have to be approved by the Scho larship Committee. shops," he said. "But municipal (parking) lot five is always open, and West Franklin Street has a wide variety of different shops." And according to a map designed by the Downtown Association, there are more than 250 businesses on Franklin and Rosemary streets from Henderson Street to Carrboro City Hall. "Quality retail shops must come in so people will have a reason to come into town," Julian said. People are talking now about the downtown, and they are concerned it will end up as a strip of student- Jl Officials also considered the com panies ability to handle student demand for pizza, Dux said. Domino's being a national com pany affected the decision, he added. "We wanted to choose somebody that had a national program," he said. "If this is successful, this could be used with other universities that Marriott serves. Marriott operates the Caro lina Dining Service. But Scadden said the service is also unfair to students and other restaraunts. "It is strictly that the students do not have a choice," he said. "Natu rally, (students) are going to use their meal cards. Every restaraunt in town Puck ca prejudiced the case against him, according to CFD members. The prepared CFD statement contained four demands: d "that the BOT respect the due process rights of the defendants enumerated in the Student Honor Code"; a "that the BOT refrain from meddling in the affairs of Student Honor Court and attempting to prejudice the outcome of the trial "that the BOT and chancellor routinely submit all questionable policies to members of the University community for review and provide a forum wherein student and faculty criticism of these policies may be heard"; and a "that Chancellor (Paul) Hardin meet with students in the very near term to explain his position on the honor court's trial of Dale McKinley and ... on the right to peaceable dissent on campus." Before going into a closed session, Hardin and BOT chairman Robert Eubanks tried to explain their posi- See TRUSTEES page 2 V (UiU ILUVCO) "We're just delighted to see that our resources will be expanded" in - this way," she said. Student Body President Kevin Martin said he was pleased with the BOT's reaction to the resolution. The trustees passed the resolution unanimously and with very little discussion, which shows a "pretty good level of trust between the students and the trustees," Martin said. The trustees probably remembered the original purpose of the funds from the licensing program, Martin said, and were unaware that the Student Aid office has not had access to the money. "We need to get the money flow ing," said Donald Boulton, dean of student affairs. "It is there, and we'd like to see it go and get used." See TRADEMARK page 4 oriented shops with no retail stores, Julian said. "Downtown Chapel Hill is the center of the University, but it is also the center of town and should cater to the whole community," he said. Giradin agreed that a successful downtown depended upon the retail mix. "It's sad when you have to make a decision to face the reality of the situation," she said. "Something has to be done, and done soon, before downtown Chapel Hill goes the way of many other downtowns." should have the opportunity to use the meal card." But the service is not excluding any other pizza businesses from operating on campus, Dux said. "Anybody can still deliver on campus; they're not excluded from campus," he said. "All we're doing is including Domino's in the pro grams we're running on campus." Not all pizza deliverers agreed that the service would hurt their business. "Our prices will always beat them no matter what they do, Ted Haughn, manager of Hungry How ie's, said. "You pay our low price now instead of theirs later. We're going to go on as we usually do." v
