4The Daily Tar Heel Monday, February 20, 1989 Ga statooo to replace TaDbeirtt's store By TOM PARKS Staff Writer A Chapel Hill business will likely be going under the bulldozers soon. Silas Talbert, manager of Talbert 's Food Mart, said Kenan Oil plans to build a new gas station convenience store at the site of the present store. Talbert's has been at its location on Raleigh Road and Hamilton Road for .bout seven years, he said. he Chapel Hill Town Council approved Kenan Oil's application for a special use permit last week. The permit is required for the construc tion of the new station. Kenan Oil owns the property the food nrirt is on and leases it to Talbert. Talbert said he has worked hard to build un the station. "Thev want to tear it down and build one of them proper type stations and run it themselves," Talbert said. "Obviously, I'm not happy with their decision," he said. "They want us out." Kenan Oil has been talking about making the change for the last year to year and a half, Talbert said. Talbert said he does not know if any of the current employees will have jobs at the new station. Don Cokely of Kenan Oil said a definite construction date has not been set, but construction should begin within a year. Talbert said Kenan Oil has offered to buy out the remaining two and a half years of his lease. But according to Talbert and Cokely, no agreement to buy out the remainder of the lease has been reached yet. Kendal Brown, a town planner, said Kenan Oil first began the process of applying for the special use permit in September 1988. The town council approved the application for the special use permit, which is required for the construction of a service station in a commercial, or town center zone, on a conditional basis. Kenan Oil must . agree to nine stipulations, and if any of the con ditions are not met the permit is withdrawn. One of the conditions is that construction begin by Feb. 13, 1990. "We're just happy to be through the (application) process and to the point where we can move forward," Cokely said, "We think it will be positive for the town of Chapel Hill." When built, the new service center will be the only Kenan-owned and operated gas station in town, Cokely said. The new station will be built of brick and green tile to match the neighboring shopping center, Glen wood Square, which is run by Kenan Developments, another Kenan cor poration, Cokely said. A town planning staff report commended Kenan for its "sensitivity to achieve architectural harmony with the adjacent shopping center." The report, dated Dec. 6, 1988, concerned Kenan Oil's application for a special use permit for the property. Professor wins civil liberties award By SIMONE PAM Staff Writer UNC law professor Barry Nakell has won this year's Frank Porter Graham Award, given each year by the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union (NCCLU) to a North Carol inian who has worked for the advancement of civil liberties. "It is a fantastic selection," said Jim Shields, NCCLU executive director. "Nakell exemplifies the spirit of the North Carolina Civil Liberities Union." The award was first given to Graham, former UNC president and North Carolina governor, Shields said. For the past 21 years, the NCCLU has chosen a person who has done outstanding work in the field of civil service. Nakell, a UNC professor of law for 19 years, has been very active in legal cases involving prisoner rights, voting rights and racial discrimination. Ten years ago, Nakell founded and became the first president of the North Carolina Prisoner Legal Services. Nakell also fought a 16-year battle against the U.S. Supreme Court.

CALL 9420251 SERA-TEC BI0L0GICA helped prisoners gain the right to meaningful assistance in seeking access to the courts. Nakell is also author of the book, "The Arbitrariness of the Death Penalty." In the book, he argues that the death penalty is administered in an arbitrary and discriminatory manner through the actions of the prosecutors. He has published an article in the national Criminal Law Bulletin, "The Cost of Capital Punishment." In this article, he argued that capital pun ishment is more expensive to admin ister than the existing prison system. Nakell said he has worked with Native Americans in Robeson County for the past 16 years. One of his more publicized cases was against the N.C. State Board of Elections. He objected to the law that said Lumberton residents could vote in both' the city and county school board elections, but county residents could vote in only the county elections. This law prevented Native Amer icans, who lived mostly outside the city limits, from voting in elections that directly involved them. Nakell brought the case before the U.S. Court of Appeals, which ruled the law unconstitutional, giving Native Americans control over school deci sions that affected them. "I am pleased this award will bring attention to the Civil Liberties Union," Nakell said. "The Civil Liberties Union is the one organiza tion designed to enforce the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. Our work is critical in making this a kinder and gentler nation." Nakell is the third University faculty member to receive the award in its 21 -year history. Steam pipes to be replaced in Manning Drive vicinity From staff reports The University will replace 30-year-old steam pipes near Man ning Drive during a 15-rrionth project scheduled to begin March 6. The new steam line is part of improvements needed to support the University's new $85 million boiler plant being built off Cameron Avenue. The pipes being replaced were installed in 1959. Heat and cold have cracked the insulation, allow ing moisture to seep in and cor rode the pipes. Sections of Manning Drive will be reduced from four lanes to two lanes during portions of the project. The University spent a year planning the work and took factors, such as sports contests, parking for the University and North Carolina Memorial Hospi tal employees and proper access for emergency vehicles, buses and University Briefs pedestrians into consideration. Professor to speak on law UNC law professor Barry Nakell will present a speech on constitutional law and issues of civil liberty at the Ethical Culture Society of the Triangle's platform meeting Feb. 26 at 11 a.m. in the ArtsCenter in Carrboro. The meeting and discussion, "Perspectives on Current Consti tutional Controversies: Eddie Hatcher and Roe vs. Wade," will be free and open to the public. Nakell is a familiar figure in civil rights in North Carolina. He has worked with the residents of Robeson County for 16 years and is involved in a suit that is part of the Eddie Hatcher case. Professor from page 1 business day. The speeches focused on topics such as female senators, black senators, the Capitol police force, the Library of Congress and the Senate press corps, he said. By 1983, Byrd's speeches had become so popular among American citizens, students and the press that Sens. Russell Long, D-La , and Lawton Chiles, D-Fla., proposed that the lectures be published in book form. The lectures were compiled with the help of the Senate Historical Office. . Leuchtenburg has addressed the Senate before, most notably in September 1987 when he testified before the Senate Judiciary Commit tee in opposition to the nomination of Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme J Court. Colin Palmer, history department chairman, said Leuchtenburg is the J first professor from the history. department to address a legislative1' body like the Senate in the last two years, though history professors do' address groups on occasion. . I ' Palmer said Leuchtenburg's selec- .. tion to speak before the Senate was.: a compliment to UNC because " Leuchtenburg is a nationally pronvt" inent professor. - 'r'' "We are proud of Dr. Leuchten- burg, who is a very distinguished scholar, one who has the respect of ' the University and the country," he, said.
