"It's not a large club, but it is an active club," Tillman said. "I think it will continue to expand as more stu dents learn about it." The club has sponsored several speakers in the past, allowing stu dents to gain knowledge about start ing their own businesses. "Students can meet entrepreneurs here, hear their stories and see how they got started," Tillman said. But Morton favors a hands-on approach to making money. "WeVe sponsored speakers in the past, but IVe moved away from that," Mor ton said. "We're going to have a business within the club."

City personnel director David Ramp said Raleigh's program has mandatory testing only for public health and safety applicants. Employees of public safety jobs and applicants and employees of non public health and safety organiza tions are not required to undergo drug testing. "Of course, everyone wants a drug free working environment, but right now we're concentrating on the first step towards that goal," Ramp said.

Clad in a geometrically shaped cardboard contraption, Lam beth said she was dressed as the Dean Dome. "IVe done buildings for the last three years," she said. Her past costumes include the Bell Tower and the Planetarium, she said. Her costume clearly made maneu vering a bit awkward. "It's really difficult, but I manage somehow," she said. For the contest, the masqueraders paraded in front of judges. Winners were announced in six categories, including Spookiest and Most Orig inal. The Tourist won the honor of Worst Costume, and Alice of the Brady Bunch won Worst Runner-up. , Uptown, the scene was radically different from traditional Halloween in Chapel Hill. Instead of hundreds of costumed characters thronging Franklin Street, there were about as many people out walking as there are on a Sunday morning. Business was a little slow around 10 p.m. at the bars that traditionally do good business on Halloween.

Raleigh also has a substance abuse program to counsel its employees, he said. The drug testing does not seem to have affected the number of appli cants for Raleigh jobs, Ramp said. He added that no more extensive testing programs of applicants or employees are planned. Chapel Hill, which has no drug testing policy, is researching the need for one, said Pat Crotts, town personnel director. Drug testing will be required of Chapel Hill law enforcement appli cants by state law in July. entrepreneurs under the age of 30 will be there, including Amos of Famous Amos cookies. Anyone in the club is eligible to attend the convention. Club members said they hoped to gain valuable career experience while being in the club. "I want to have a company of my own," said Christine Lentz, a junior industrial relations and economics major from China Grove. "I want to be the leader of a group to accomplish a certain task or service. This is the best way to find out what I want to do." Students interested in the club are invited to attend the next meeting and fill out an information card. Morton stressed that anyone can join. "It's open to everyone," Morton said. "It's a misconception that you have to be a business major to join." The group's next meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 9, in the Union. date and is funded mostly by Student Con gress, said Kathleen Benzaquin, associate dean of students and adviser of the Rape Action Project. When the group was first formed, it concentrated on peer presentation from page 1 increase later in the evening. "They'll come out anyway," she said. "It (the rain) may make people stay in one place." At Spanky's the situation was much the same. "I expect the rain kept a lot of people in tonight," said owner Mickey Ewell. "I think itll get better later." , - Despite the smaller crowds, some students still went all out on their costumes. David Blue was dressed in a huge, green Gumby outfit. Blue said he had heard about Halloween in Chapel Hill. "I was looking forward to it," he said. "I'm a little disappointed in the weather." Meanwhile, Player's had attracted about 150 people, mostly in costume. Owner Mike McCormick said bus iness had been "good considering the weather and Halloween being on a Monday night." The atmosphere was festive and promised to become more so as the time for the costume contest, set for midnight, approached. Two students at Player's said they had already won their prize of the night. Seniors Chris Jerome and Mish Coric, who called themselves the "farm animals from hell," said they had already won Most Creative Costume at Special Occasions cos tume shop in Durham. Coric declared, "I'm the bunny from hell, and he's the pig from hell." Very scary indeed. AMERICAN V? CANCER ' SOCIETY THINKING ABOUT AN MBA? Consider Georgia Tech's Master of Science in Management!

A resident of Tar Heel Mobile Home Park reported Saturday that an opossum was in the back of her mobile home. When an officer arrived, he found the animal had left the mobile home through a hole used for a dryer vent. A Forbush Mountain Drive resident reported Sunday that an opossum was in the protective covering over an air vent at the base of her house. An officer found the opossum and relocated it to the woods behind the house. D Police answered 13 noise complaints this weekend. Two resulted from noise from He's Not Here, and most others came from apartment complexes. B Police investigated a number acquaintance rape and victim support. But in 1987 members decided that other campus groups are . meeting the need for victim support and began to focus only on peer presentation, Benzaquin said. "The group is concerned with students talking to students about date and, acquaintance rape, which is a better resource because it makes the problem seem more real and helps students to understand that they are not alone," Kittner said. "We are trained in the legal, mental and physical aspects of date rape, and we are trained in public speaking also," she said. The members of the Rape Crisis Project are trained to give presenta tions to different organizations on date and acquaintance rape, Kittner said. The presentations last about one hour and include a film on date rape called "It Still Hurts" and a 45-minute question and answer session. Presentations are given to student groups on campus and also to high Librarians try to preserve books for future readers By CHERYL ALLEN Staff Writer I hat library book tossed in the corner with spaghetti sauce 11 spilled on it after ripping it from the jaws of a dog might have become very valuable. But such careless handling accelerates the process of deterioration, according to Jan Paris, conservator of the Rare Books Collection. Deterioration of books and manuscripts has become a. major concern for librarians. "Tempera ture, relative humidity, amount of light and air pollution present will all contribute to deterioration," Paris said. Present day storage con ditions cause the deterioration, but the acidic materials and processes introduced into paper manufactur- of auto vandalism incidents this weekend. On Friday, a resident of Kingsbury Drive reported that someone had scratched both sides of his car with a sharp object. Damage to the car was estimated at $550. A car parked in a parking lot at the Page Building was damaged Saturday when someone walked on the vehicle's hood. The damage to the car was estimated at $250. A car owned by a North Gra ham Street resident was seriously damaged after a vandalism inci dent Sunday. The front and rear windshields, the right and left passenger windows and the brake lights and headlights of the car were all broken. Damage to the car was estimated at $1,200. A car owned by a Franklin . Street resident was vandalized Saturday. The front passenger window was broken, and a small rock was found in the car. Nothing in the car had been tampered with, and damage was estimated at $100. D When an employee of Wil lowbrook Apartments came to the rental office Sunday, she found the Halloween display had been van dalized, and a pumpkin had been thrown through the front window '' of the office. No one entered the office, and damage was estimated at $150. a Trouble arose at the Western ; -Sizzlin on Rosemary Street Sun- ; day when a patron was spotted eating salad off his friend's plate and refused to pay. An officer ' talked with both parties, but the 1 subject refused to pay for the salad because he said he did not order ' a salad. The man was identified, and he left the restaurant. compiled by Will Lingo school and faculty groups, she said. The project is designed to educate and channel interested people to different organizations that deal with rape, Kittner said. "Our function is not to counsel, but sometimes you can't help but do some counseling," she said. "After most meetings someone will come up to us at the end and tell us that she has been in a similar situation. Usually we direct people to the proper resources." ! Date rape often occurs because of a lack of communication, Kittner said. Some men are also unaware of what actually constitutes rape. "Many ifiefThave not realized that what they've been doing falls under legal sanction and could be called rape," she said. "They don't realize that after a girls says 'no,' that is it. A lot of people think that we're making too much out of nothing, and some people think that we are not doing enough." ing during the mid 19th century were also a contributing factor, Paris said. The library community is pushing for publishers to use alkaline paper, which will last longer than the acidic-based paper, Paris said. Because air conditioning has been present in UNC's libraries for a longer period of time than other libraries the same size, the Universi-i ty's books will not deteriorate as quickly, Paris said. Air conditioning dramatically scales down the rate of deterioration. Deterioration includes the break-:-down of the paper, leather, adhesive, or binding of the book. "Books are objects made from organic mate- : rials," Paris said. "And they deterio--rate chemically and physically." Once they deteriorate, there is no way to reverse that process. UNC hired Paris this summer to set up a Conservation Library for books of high intrinsic value. Intruv. sic value is based on the date of publishing, scarcity, past owners, autographs or notes within a book. -All these factors contribute to a book's value. Paris is also available for consul-, tation about preservation of mate rials in other libraries. People forget that library mate rials are meant to be for many generations, Paris said. "People forget that they share that book with, many other people." Preservation can take many : forms. Informational value of books : can be preserved through the use of microfilming, which prevents the book from being handled. The actual pages of the book can be pre served by encapsulating them between two pieces of Mylar, a transparent polyester material that acts as a protective envelope, Paris said. "I think it is important to remember that books and other library materials not only have informational value, but many of them tell us things through their actual existence, which gives us keys ; to other times and places," Paris said.
