The store's front entrance opened again Tuesday after being closed since the end of the fall semester. Building renovations are about half completed and should be finished in the first week in July, Rutledge Tufts, Student Stores general manager, said Tuesday. Although the main entrance has reopened, construction on the front of the store is not complete. Carpets, fixtures and theft detection devices have not been installed yet.

Students also seem to like it better, she said. "We have gotten a lot of nice comments." The new entrance also makes rush hours easier, said Sylvia Ridenhour, a freshman from Concord. "During class changes things are a lot more open. There is more room to move around. Things are still hectic, but that is to be expected." Working conditions for employees have not changed much since the front entrance opened. "There is more room and you can breathe better, but overall, things are about the same," said Malinda Minor, a cashier. Other changes that have come with the opening of the front entrance include the return of the indoor post to offeo- fun before graduation committee. Three local bands will be featured at the event: Mary on the Dash, The Veldt and Dillon Fence. The bands are scheduled to play from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. "We chose the bands on the basis of familiarity," said Joe McCall, co chairman of the commencement committee. "All three originated in Chapel Hill." licystcr with our 15-501 Across from Hotel Europa become friends" Council By AMY VAJDA Assistant University Editor UNC's Faculty Council will vote Friday whether to approve a proposal to add an academic minor that would be optional for each UNC academic department or school. Faculty and staff basketball seating and a resolution on state employees' salaries will be among other issues addressed at Friday's meeting. Coun cil election results will also be announced at the meeting. The educational policy committee will propose the academic minor in its annual report to the council. "The questions of instituting and admin istering minors should be decided by each school or college individually and ultimately, by departments," the proposal said. John Anderson, educational policy committee chairman, said Wednes day that the council will probably office and check-cashing services, Tufts said. "They are now upstairs in their new quarters." The computer store has also been reopened at its full size in a new upstairs location, said Calvin Phillips, Student Stores maintenance coordi nator. Customer service has also moved upstairs, and office supplies and cards will be located where the Bull's Head Bookstore is now, Phil lips said. Other future renovations include asbestos removal at the old side entrance and the installation of new cash registers at the front of the store. Renovations were scheduled for completion by the middle of June, but unexpected delays moved the completion date back. Keeping the store open during construction Representatives from organiza tions that provide services to grad uates have also been invited to attend, McCall said. "Representatives from the Ram's Club, University Career Planning and Placement and the General Alumni Association will be there to answer any questions about the services they provide, to graduates." The goal of the class of 1989 has been to revive traditions, McCall said. Senior Day once featured Greek and Latin speeches, the presentation of the senior class poem, politicians speeches and a baccalaureate ceremony. Senior Day last year was just a picnic, but the bands are a special addition this year, McCall said. "We are fulfilling another goal by bringing back Senior Day," he said. "We have done so much already that Senior Day is going to be like icing on the cake." The day is not planned to have a specific structure, McCall said. "It is FREE TRAVEL 0iu.teu 5 W AV 111 I I to vote on academic miodV support the proposal. But recent state cuts in UNC spending may pose a problem for the proposal at Friday's meeting, he said. "The economic state of the University may affect the thinking of council members on Friday." Smaller departments may feel-they cannot spare the time, money or personnel to plan a minor, Anderson said. "There would be some depart ments that might be undermanned and feel they might not be able to consider this at this time." If the council approves the pro posal, it would probably take another year for the academic minor to become a reality, Anderson said. "If approved by the council it would go to each college, and each college would need some kind of mechanism to put it into its structure." t Ruffin Hall, chairman of student government's academic affairs caused many of the delays. If Student Stores could have closed during the construction, the construction would have taken about half the time, Tufts said. "We are not supported by taxes. We must remain open like any retail business to generate money and to pay salaries." Recent state budget cuts in non personnel expenditures may affect the progress of renovations through loss of sales, Tufts said. UNC does buy many office supplies from Student Stores, so cuts in University spending might affect revenue, he said. The total cost of renovations has not been determined yet, Tufts said. About $900,000 was budgeted for renovations, and estimates place the actual cost close to that, he said. going to be a very impromptu-type thing," he said. "It is a chance for seniors to get together before gradua tion and deflect the party from the actual ceremony on Sunday." Winter said Marriott Corp. will sell picnic food at the party. Posters and flyers around campus will advertise the event next week, Winter said. "There will also be a big spread in the senior newsletter that is going out next week." Some seniors who have already heard about the event are making plans to be in Chapel Hill, said Anita Gillis, a senior from High Point. "I am coming back from the beach in time for the party," she said. "People should come and bring their parents." Charles Clark, a senior from Ft. Washington, Md., said, "I will probably go down and see everyone one last time because I will be leaving town the next day." The Chancellor's commencement committee is sponsoring Senior Day.

"I don't want to see it be as hard as a major. Hopefully, well be able to set some guidelines." Anderson said students might .be involved in the planning of minors. "In most decisions about departmen tal affairs, students are sometimes purposely, or not purposely, excluded because it is seen as the realm of experts. I hope they could be worked in. The council will also consider the report of an ad hoc committee appointed to review the faculty and staff basketball ticket priority system. The committee will propose chang ing the formula used to determine seating priority to add weight to the number of years an applicant has ordered tickets. The other factor in the priority formula is a rank number based on the State Personnel Act (SPA) job grading system. In the committee's proposal, Substance abuse 15 subject of survey I aimed at students By SHERRY WATERS Staff Writer Student Health Service (SHS) and student government have compiled and distributed a 54 question survey about drug and -alcohol abuse to UNC students, and officials are hoping the results will give insight to the substance abuse problem at UNC. Chris Inman, co-chairman of the 'Drug Education Leads to Alterations' (DELTA) Squad for student government, said the survey, mailed randomly to about 1,238 UNC students, will examine student perceptions of alcohol and drug abuse. The survey asks straightforward questions on the frequency of students' use of alcohol and drugs, he said. The survey covers a range of topics relating to drug abuse and alcohol abuse on both the insti tutional and individual level, and it will determine where and how the problem takes place and how to deal with it, Inman said. "We can only find out this information from hearing the responses of the 'students."" - - ' Student government has already received 650 responses, and more questionnaires will be distributed this week, he said. SHS and student government also hope the survey will provide information concerning the behav ior of a person after using drugs or alcohol, Inman said.

In addition, the council will con sider a resolution supporting legisla tion in the N.C. General Assembly that would establish a state emplqyee minimum wage equal to , or higher than the federal poverty level. -c According to the resolution, about 1,300 state employees are paid bejow $11,612, the federal poverty levej for a family of four in 1988. More than 200 of these employees are UNC-CH employees, the resolution said. Anderson, the resolution's spon sor, said' although the resolution jls a one-person effort, faculty members have already told him they support it. I; I surveys . indicated drug and sub stance abuse was higher for white males, while the number was least for black females, Inman said. Surveys have shown that alcohql was the most abused substance, followed by marijuana, he said.'. The survey was made possible because student government received a grant from the federal government two years ago requesting they develop and dis tribute this kind of a survey to! UNC students, he said. Many students consider UNC to have a drug problem, although the actual size of the problem unknown.
