Special to the DTH
.': For three hours after the polls had
officially closed on election night,
more than 150 Chapel Hill residents
I waited in line at the . Chapel Hill
Police Department to cast their votes.
These were "election day transfers"
people who had registered pre
viously and changed local addresses
without notifying the election board.
-They came to the department on
bicycles, in the cars of local Demo
cratic volunteers or on foot,
in- After two and a half hours lined
up in the cold, UNC senior Jamey
Davis said, "We should have paired
off Republicans and Democrats and
walked away."
"iBut these die-hard voters were
exercising their rights and fulfilling
their duties. In the back of their
minds, they hoped, but did not
expect, to defy the polls.

The American Heart Association
will hold its annual Turkeywalk fund
raiser at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13,
said Wes Lawton, a volunteer for the
AHA.
The Turkeywalk, which will begin
at Woollen Gym and continue
through campus, was organized to
promote cardiovascular health. The
walk covers a five-mile course, but
shorter courses are available for those
who cannot walk the entire distance,
he said.
Participants can walk by them
selves or with a group. Each person
.should have a list of sponsors, who
'usually contribute between $5 and
$15 each, Lawton said. Money is
collected immediately before the
event, so the AHA cant predict how
much money will be raised until the
day of the race, he said.

t : The UNC-CH library system has
, been successful in its efforts to curb
recent financial difficulties, according
to the library's annual report for the
'fiscal year 1987-88.
, The report, released Nov. 1, said
'a 17 percent reduction in the library's
book budget was "a deeply regretta
,'ble but effective method of arousing
'the entire community to the serious
'ness of the situation."
The reduction was necessitated by
an $800,000 loss of purchasing power
."and a 34 percent drop in book receipts
ever the past two years, the report
said.
In 1980, John Shipman, University
.bibliographer, and Marcia Tuttle,
serials librarian, established a pro
gram for faculty members and library
workers to regularly review the
; library's periodical subscriptions. In
; 1985, the program began to concen
trate on canceling the library's
"subscriptions to "costly journals of
"'secondary interest."
This "collaborative" program has
saved the library over $40,000,
according to Joe Hewitt, associate
University librarian.
f The money saved from the peri
odical reviews was critical for the
library's financial well-being, he said.
"The review helped us survive the
'year," Hewitt said. "We have to
continue it to stay within our budget.
-The review has been very helpful.
Because we began it some time ago
we are in a position to cancel
periodicals after some consideration."

who brought her children with her
after work. "We're making the
difference when everybody else has
gone to bed. It's our one chance to
change the polls."
At 8:30 p.m. their car radios could
have told them that George Bush had
already taken all of North Carolina's
electoral votes. But these voters did
not want to listen to returns. They
cheered the results of their own poll
conducted by third-grader Jennifer
Waddell. Scribbled on binder paper,
that poll showed the Democratic slate
winning by a landslide.
"Whether I affect the outcome is
irrelevant to me," said Bull Manfredi,
a Chapel Hill resident who said he
was a fool for moving a couple of
years ago without telling the board.
"To me voting is the right thing to
do regardless of the outcome."
Several of the students in line had
never voted in a presidential election.
Central Carolina Bank and the staffs
of the cardiovascular departments at
North Carolina Memorial Hospital,
Lawton said. WCHL radio will help
promote the event.
Each walker will receive a certif
icate of participation. Those who
raise $50 will receive a T-shirt, and
those who raise $100 will receive a
T-shirt and a certificate for a free
turkey. Walkers who raise $150 or
more will receive a jogging suit in
addition to the other prizes, he said.
The Sunrise Rotary Club in Chapel
Hill is also helping to coordinate
activities, Lawton said. Any turkeys
won by members of the club will be
donated to needy families in the
community.
The Turkeywalk is a nationwide
AHA event and usually occurs
around Thanksgiving, said Elva
Small, chairwoman of the North
Carolina State Community Organi
zations Committee.
The Turkeywalk is also held for

Despite these savings, the library
was still forced to shift $191,000 from
the book budget to the periodicals
budget to cover price increases,
according to the report.
For the past two years, no money
has been available for new periodical
subscriptions except' for the' money
saved from canceling ofd subscrip
tions, the report said.
Because books are most often used
by humanities majors and periodicals
are most often used by sciences
majors, the library seems to be
shifting its expenditures from the
humanities to the sciences, Hewitt
said.
Despite the library's recent savings,
a budget increase is essential to its
survival, he said. "We hope to
combine our periodical reviews with
an increased budget."
The budget proposal calls for an
estimated 23 percent increase the first
year, Hewitt said. The budget
includes all the libraries in the UNC
system.
UNC-CH will find out if the
proposal is approved sometime this
summer, Hewitt said.
Hewitt said he hopes that the
budget proposal will be approved, but
the library "will continue to prepare
for the worst."
The approval of the proposal is
essential to the library's continued
recovery, Hewitt said.
"If it continues like it was last year,
a one-term effect would be disas
trous," he said. "If we don't get
anything, we're not going to recover."

"I'm so glad I did this," UNC junior
Alice Lutman said. "I wanted to be
able to say I'd contributed, that I was
really a part."
Plus, Lutman said she liked the
camaraderie. Domino's Pizza had
delivered dinner to some earlier
voters, and Lutman drank a cup of
coffee to keep warm, but most people
kept spirits up with conversation, not
food.
"All of us here late at night,
different types of people getting
together, it's kind of neat," Lutman
said. "Probably if we had been in a
restaurant, we wouldn't have given
each other the time of day."
Davis, a conservative who supports
prayer in school, roughhoused with
the children and produced laughs and
giggles. He had fun teasing the
Waddells about how the the Demo
crats were evil and would take their
money away, he said.
Freshman Laura Nowell also voted
educational reasons, she said. "It's a
national statistic that 50 percent of
the people that die each year die of
heart disease, which is more than any
of the other main causes put
together," Small said.
The walk's first priority is to raise
money for the AHA, according to
Small. If it weren't for people who
participate in fund-raising events, the
AHA would not have gotten the
money to research bypass and open
heart surgery procedures that save
thousands of lives a year, Small said.
Secondly, the walk promotes exer
cise. "It's just a really fun event, and
it allows you to get out and walk with
your friends," she said.
Also, because one of the prizes is
a free turkey, it informs the public
that poultry is a healthy food for the
heart, Small said.
Small, who works with Duke
Power, will be walking with a group
of her co-workers. "Since I attended
ower
currency abroad, the library has had
to pay more for foreign publications,
Hewitt said.
Even if the library does get
increased funding, it may not be able
. to make up for lost purchases, Hewitt
said. ; ' '
" "We may not be able to buy titles
we've missed in the last few years,"
he said. "They may now be out of
print."

Town asked to

By CHARLES BRITTAIN
Staff Writer
A request has been made to the
Town of Chapel Hill to rezone more
than 50 acres of land in the southern
part of town for use as a shopping
center and office park.
The town has scheduled a public
meeting to discuss the rezoning
request, which was made by the
owners of the land and an area
developer.
An informal public meeting is
scheduled for Nov. 17 to present
information concerning the applica
tion, which was submitted to the town
planning board and town council
requesting the rezoning of the Bennett
heir property.
The property consists of 50.2 acres
located on the east and west sides of
U.S. 15-501 at the Mount Carmel
Church Road and the Culbreth
School Road intersection.
The application was filed by local
attorney Robert Page on behalf of
the Bennett heirs arid Jon Hoetger
and the Protean Group. s
"The area is currently zoned as only
a residential district, which means
that all you can place on the property
compete for
competitions like the Miss America
pageant have graduated from college
or are graduate students, he said.
The competition is open to
women from all over the nation.
The contestants go through three
levels of evaluation: the campus,
state and national levels, Veczko
said.
"Identification on the campus
level, however, is not necessarily
limited to one candidate per campus
unless so specified," Veczko said.
"But only one will be selected to
represent the state in the national
competition."
When the competition first began
seven years ago, it required all con
testants to be a member of a perfor
mance team, Steere said. "This is the
first year it has been opened up to
everybody," he said. But the contest
ants still must have someone spon
sor them and help pay for traveling
expenses.
Students deciding to enter the
contest must perform a skill or
talent, such as a singing, dancing,
cheerleading, gymnastics or musical
routine, Veczko said. If the judging
committee requests it, the applicant
may also need to submit a two- to
three-minute videotape of her talent,
especially if she has performed with
a team.
Veczko stressed that entrants
must enjoy performing before an
audience. Only those who, in the
professional opinion of the selection
committee, have a chance to succeed
at the national level will be encour
aged to advance to the next level of
competitive evaluation, she said.

The parties requesting the rezoning
are trying to obtain a special use
permit that would allow them to
develop the property for commercial
purposes, he said.
Kendal Brown, a planner for the
Chapel Hill Planning Board, said the
main reason a group submits an
application for rezoning is to obtain
the town's permission to use property
in a different way than the town had
previously designated.
The rezoning application requests
that the Bennett property be switched
from Residential-1 and Residential
2 zoning districts to a Mixed Use R
1 district.
, The switch to a mixed-use district
would mean the property could be
used for several purposes, she said.
"A mixed-use permit means the
owner can use the property as an
office, residential and commercial; an
office and commercial; or an office
and residential area," she said.
I' As of this moment, the town has
received ho specific plans on how the
rrezoned property would be used,"
Brown said.

"The Miss Coed America Pro
gram stressed the following priori
ties: college first, Miss Coed pro
gram second, and the individual's
social life third," Veczko said.
Steere said that in past years most
of the winners have had at least a
3.0 grade average. "It is not a
requirement, but it would be some
thing positive and helpful," he said.
If a girl already has good grades, she
will probably be able to keep them
up while performing her duties as
Miss Coed America, he said.
There are a few limitations upon
who can enter the competition.
Contestants must be single, have
never married, and have no children.
Entrants must also be U.S. citizens
and represent the state where they
attend college.
Applicants must be no less than
five feet tall, and no more than five
feet 10 inches, with weight in pro
portion to height.
The judging process is a compli
cated process involving many vari
ables. "Judging is based on beauty
of the face and figure, beauty of
expression, glamour, draw at the
box office factors, charisma, com
mercial appeal, radiance, poise, per
sonality, grooming, performing abil
ity, attitude and communication
abilities," according to the rules
stated on the application.
Steere said the program is looking
for a person who would be a good
advertiser for products, because that
is how she would make money.

The notice was sent to property
owners within 500 feet of the property
that is planned for development,
informing them of the application for

meeting, she said.
"The meeting is designed to give
property owners the opportunity to

the developers plan for the property
