Gubernatorial veto
primmairy concern
of N.C House oil
By BRIAN NICHOLSON
Stan Writer
A bill that would give N.C.
citizens a chance to vote on the
gubernatorial veto issue is making
its way through the House Judi
ciary Committee.
A similar bill has already passed
the Senate.
The House Judiciary Subcom
mittee on Election Laws and
Constitutional Amendments met
Wednesday to decide what will be
included in the House bill, which
will be sent to the full judiciary
committee for another vote before
it reaches the House floor.
- The subcommittee voted Wed
nesday on a ballot legislators hope
to make available to voters in
November, said Rep. Walter
Jones, D-Pitt, subcommittee
chairman. The ballot may include
other issues besides the veto issue,
such as four-year terms for repre
sentatives, limited two-year terms
for the speaker of the House and
election of the governor and
lieutenant governor as a team.
Rep. Beverly Perdue, D-Pitt,
proposed a bill that would give the
governor veto power but not on
local bills or on bills involving
reapportionment. Her proposal
would give the governor an abso
lute veto over appropriation bills
rather than a line-item budgetary
veto.
The General Assembly would
be able to override a veto with a
three-fifths vote according to
Perdue's proposal. Perdue expects
a version of her proposal to come
before the House in the fall, she
said.
"The veto is Governor Martin's
issue," said Tim Pittman, the

governor's press secretary. "He
began what has become a five-year
battle for gubernatorial veto
power.
"He would like to see a line-item
veto and a two-thirds majority
override, but the governor is
hopeful that the veto remains
intact and that it will apply to him
at some point in his second term."
Arthur Pope, R-Wake, the
judiciary subcommittee's vice
chairman, said he is concerned
about the other issues that could
be linked to the veto bill
especially the four-year term for
representatives. ,
Pope believes the public would
not support a term-extension bill
on its own. "In 1982, a referendum
to extend the terms of represen
tatives to four years was defeated
3-1."
The veto bill that has already
passed the Senate is not linked to
any other bills.
There are many problems to be
worked out before the issue of the
gubernatorial veto can be pres
ented to the public for a vote, said
Larry Justus, R-Henderson. "I
personally think that if we get
things snarled up with four-year
terms for legislators if we put
too much in the package the
voters won't accept it. Also, I
personally will not vote for a bill
that is a veto in name only."
Justus was referring to a move
by Democratic representatives to
make the override requirement as
small as possible.
"The gubernatorial veto issue is
alive and well," he said. "I think
we're relatively close (to getting the
veto established)."

Two student leaders at the N.C.
School of the Arts met with embattled
Chancellor Jane Milley for about an
hour Wednesday, according to stu
dent government officials there.
"It was a constructive meeting,"
said Student Advisory Council (SAC)
president Josh Mark in a telephone
interview. "We will be meeting with
her again soon."
Mark and SAC member J.T.
Rogers were granted a meeting with
Milley after more than a week of
student "performance protests."
Although he refused to give details
of the meeting, Mark did say the
students' demand for Milley's imme
diate resignation was still as strong
as ever. But he did say Milley gave
UNC 'recycling director gearing
By LYNN GOSWICK

UNC's new recycling director has
settled into office and is gearing up
for several campuswide recycling
projects next fall.
Phil Prete, chosen as UNC's recy
cling director in January in response
to town recycling concerns, said the
purpose of his position is to begin
campuswide recycling and to help
reduce the amount of waste that goes
into the Orange County landfill.
According to Blair Pollock, Chapel
Hill's Solid Waste Planner, the
landfill is scheduled to close in 1997.
Last year, the University contrib
uted 22 percent of the waste in the
landfill, Prete said. Chapel Hill
contributed approximately 28 per
cent of the landfill waste.

UNC-system President CD.
Spangler announced Milley's resigna
tion effective June 30 on April 13.
Students, parents and alumni have
since been calling for her immediate
resignation from the Winston-Salem
school. s
Efforts to contact both Milley and
her assistant Danny Green were
unsuccessful.
Alumni have threatened to stop
supporting the school financially until
Milley leaves.
Tim Guinee, president of the New
York-based' Alumni for Immediate
Action, said his group is encouraging
Orange County and the University,
Prete said.
Most of the University's waste is
made of ash and paper, Prete said.
"We throw away tons of paper a
day," Prete said.
Between 60 percent and 70 percent
of the University's waste is paper,
Prete said, and much of the paper
comes from administrative and com
puter centers.
Approximately 25 percent of the
University's waste is made of ash from
the university's physical plant, he
said.
The plant, which is located on
Cameron Avenue, generates steam
and electricity for the university,
Prete said. The plant operates 24
hours a day and produces approx
imately 7,000 tons of ash each year.
Prete said he is gathering informa
call for parking improvements

Jack Tomkovick, owner of The
Gold Connection, said the five years
wasted on Rosemary Square had
severely hurt downtown business.

Arnold's bill clearly violates the C
Constitution, Pollitt said. "
"This is a problem of free expres

university can bar any student group
unless that group does something that
is destructive. I'm very much opposed
to any interference by the legislature
in student rights."

Guinee said he met with Green for
about an hour Wednesday.
"I'm appalled at this situation," he
said. "The only thing the woman is
doing is denigrating the talent that's
been assembled here."
Alumni for Immediate Action
hopes that by cutting off contribu
tions, it will force Milley to step down
before June 30, he said!
"I think all of the funding will
return but not until she's out of here,"
Guinee said. "I think pressure is really
mounting."
The student meeting with Milley
follows a Friday meeting in which she
met with members of the Parents
Association of the N.C. School of the
tion about some student-initiated
recycling programs.
In the fall, Prete plans' to begin
programs that increase campus
awareness of recycling and also plans
to work on recycling programs with
the offices that produce a lot of waste
paper.
Prete said he has worked with some
groups that have begun their own
programs.
The departments of City and
Regional Planning and Computer
Science and the law school, in
addition to many other departments,
have begun collecting recyclable
materials such as paper, glass and
aluminum all on their own, he said.
Prete also mentioned the Student
Environmental Action Coalition
(SEAC) which sponsors the Adopt-a-Bin
program.

hell, I don't know what does."
Few people realize how bad the
situation is for downtown businesses,
Tomkovick said. "IVe been going to
the flea market on the state fair
grounds in Raleigh, and I'm making
the same money in 16 hours there
that I make in 44 hours downtown."
Margie Haber, co-director of the
Downtown Commission, said the
commission's plans would carry on.
"Our projects were not directly
related to Rosemary Square."
The commission will not act on an
alternative to Rosemary Square until
the town officially initiates a plan, she
said. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Downtown Commission was estab
lished to promote downtown
revitalization.
The $30 million Rosemary Square
project was originally designed to
serve as a remedy to downtown
parking problems and to assist in
revitalization.

Daniel Fox, president of tjie
Downtown Chapel Hill Association, ,
said the association would like the
town council to build a parking depk
as quickly as possible. . j ;
Fox said he would not favor! a
parking deck that included plans for
retail stores because these take longer
to install and finance. If the plan were
for a parking deck alone, then it could
be financed easily with revenue
bonds. ' !
Chuck Helpingstine, owner 'of
Johnny T-Shirt, said he estimated
that his business would increase ;10
percent to 15 percent if the downtown
parking problem were eliminated.
Other businesses, which do not rely
as heavily on students could 'gain
even more than 15 percent if the
parking problem were solved, he said.
Helpingstine said the town should
stop worrying about things like
vendors and put 100 percent of its
effort on parking.
