The Chapel Hill-Carrboro School
Board voted unanimously Monday in
support of the Orange County Com
missioners' impact tax proposal for
new developments in Orange County.
The board concluded only to
support this proposal with the pro
vision that a portion be allocated for
educational purposes.
This decision aligns with previous
measures taken by the board to
increase revenue and available funds
for the school budget.
The county commissioners are
pursuing this tax, which would affect
all new developments.
School Superintendent Gerry
House said the new housing devel
opments usually result in an increase
in the number of children in the
schools, thereby increasing the needs
of the system. The tax would augment
current, funds while keeping an
increase in the countywide taxes at
a minimum.
Orange County residents as a
whole support the proposed tax, she
said. While the opposition says the
impact tax may discourage new
businesses from locating in Orange
County, most see it as necessary to
raise county revenue.
The funds received from this tax
would be used for capital needs,
House said.
Capital need expenditures include
classroom furniture, computer equip
ment, copier replacement, food
service equipment and furnishings
and equipment associated with the
sixth- and ninth-grade reassignments
for the 1989-90 school year.
Capital needs also include vehicle
replacement, bus replacement and
asbestos removal from Guy B. Phil
lips Junior High, Grey Culbreth
Junior High and Chapel Hill Senior
High School.
According to the 1989-90 Proposed
Budget Report of the Chapel Hill
Carrboro City Schools prepared by
Superintendent House and Finance
Director Savannah Van Hook, the
total projected capital outlay fund for
the 1989-90 budget is $1,325,000.
The total proposed budget for the
1989-90 school year is $12,181,686
this is a $ 1 , 1 92,7 1 6, or a 1 0.85 percent,
increase over that of the previous
fiscal year.
Just to maintain the current stand
ards, not including any improvement
or expansion of new program areas,
a budget increase of 5.58 percent is
required. These increases are based
on a 4 percent increase on non
personnel items and Gov. Jim Mar
tin's recommendation of a 6 percent
salary increase.
Once the budget is set, the Chapel
Hill Town Council and the Carrbofb
Board of Aldermen will neither
increase nor decrease the amount,
House said. Inflation and otfiir
projected increases are taken into
account to ensure adequate funds for
the next school year. i

Students, staff and visitors can
quickly find out what is going on at
UNC with the INFO computer
system, UNC's electronic information
service.
Academic Computing Services
(ACS) has been running INFO since
September 1988 and is continuing to
update and add to the services
offered, said Judith Hallman, ACS's
manager of information services.
The system contains information
about most campus events, Hallman
said. Some of the offerings include
campus news, the DTH Campus
Calendar, the Student Union
Calendar, the entire N.C. State
University Info system and Carolina
Week-by-Week.
The system is continually being
updated, Hallman said. Some new
services include faculty and student
Planned Parenthood

Affordable Health Care' Health Education 'By Caring People

phone number and address . listings
and listings of officially recognized
student organizations, she said.
The white pages information is
provided by the University Regis
trar's Office, Hallman said. Student
government and the Carolina Union
help provide student organization
information, she said.
Terminals are in several places on
campus, including the Student
Union, Davis Library, House Under
graduate Library, the South Building
lobby and Manning Hall's lobby,
Hallman said.
INFO can be used by anyone in
the country who has a computer with
a telephone hookup, Hallman said.
Outside access is especially useful for
incoming or prospective students and
faculty, students at other universities
and anyone who wants to learn more
about UNC, she said.
The system is updated daily by
ACS, Hallman said. Also, many
organizations are now beginning to
update their INFO listing directly, she
said. In the future the Carolina Union
will enter its information directly to
update the Union calendar five times
daily.
Information about grants is
entered directly so it can becorrrje
available quickly, Hallman said.
But the INFO system still has many
problems that need to be worked djlt,
Hallman said. "Basically, people
should think of it as a growirvg
service," she said. "It is still new and
things still need to be added anil
changed.". !
Students have the most trouble
with the system's help key, Hallmaji
said. "The help key on the compiler
terminal is tied to the software, frjt
does not offer very much useji)l
information," she said. "We want
people to use the help function in jh;e
main menu."
Regina Sink, a Student Unfojn
information desk employee, agreed.
"The problem with the computers
that if you press help, it goes ina
circle," she said. ;J
The system is sometimes difficult
to use and should list more campus
events, Sink said. "Many of the
people who come in to use the INFO
computer are from out of town and
they don't know anything about trie
University," she said. "They are very
irate when they cant find what they
want."
