When the outside temperature is 60 degrees or cooler, the boiler plant kicks heat into the line connected to the resi dence halls, he said. When the tempera ture inside the residence halls falls below 72 degrees, sensors in the residence halls signal that heat needs to be sent into the building. The problem has been that tempera tures during the day have been high PRACTICE PAINLESS DENTISTRY. unique break that only the Air Capture Your 1990 Yackety Yack now on sale this week in the Pit. better 962-SAFE. Senior Robin Curtis, who is coordi nating the new program, said that es corts had been stationed in the library in the past, but this was the first time they would be stationed there consistently. Organizers want to involve students from campus organizations such as InterVarsity, Campus Crusade, frater nities and sororities in the library service. Curtis said that the response from the Panhellenic Council had been especially enthusiastic. Curtis also said that organizers hoped to encourage people to use the service enough to keep from activating the heat. When the cooler evening tem peratures set in, the sensors indicate that the heat needs to be turned on. But the heat oesn't always have enough time to reach the residence hall rooms and warm them by morning, Paul said. As the day gets warmer, the sensors indicate there is no longer a need for the heaters to be on, so they turn off. "We go through a transition period every year," he said. "There is a two- to three-week period in both the heating and cooling cycle." When the weather gets consistently cooler, there should not be any more problems, he said.

Bill Craver, director of SAFE Escort, said that on the average 1 0 to 1 5 women used the service each night. "I'm really excited about this new program because it's so openly avail able to the public," Craver said. "It will publicize our existing service and in corporate girls." Women who volunteer to be escorts will be working in pairs from 7 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. Curtis emphasized that this policy was not meant to be discriminatory. 1 V- Conference.

Wayne Kuncl, director of housing, said he had received complaints about the cooler temperatures from students in the Olde Campus area. He did not think the problem was isolated to Olde Campus residence halls, but said he had not received complaints from other areas about the heat. Complaints came from students in Cobb Residence Hall when the heat was first turned on, said Angela Ben son, an RA in Cobb. But the mainte nance department fixed the problems students let them know about, she said. Otherwise, students have not com plained to her about the heat. Joseph Eskridge, a junior from Winston-Salem, is an RA in Graham HOPPE escort "We just want to ensure everyone's safety. By extending to women the opportunity to be escorts, we hope to help them gain control in a situation over which they have had little control in the past." Kathleen Benzaquin, assistant dean of students, said many students had a sense of fear on campus at night. "There are quite a few places that have been identified as fearful to stu dents. The campus is an area of high risk at night. The escort service is one way that we can address that risk," she said. DTHCatherine Pinckert Residence Hall. "About three of the residents have been curious as to whether the heat was turned on or not, but they really weren't complaints." Other students in the residence hall had some complaints, however, he said. Area Director Jim Weaver told him that the water the University pumped into the residence halls to heat them was not very hot yet, but it will be increased at a later date.

Sister city; ties to be improved By TIM BENNETT Staff Writer Members of the community are working to strengthen ties with San Jorge, Chapel Hill's Nicaraguan sister city, by raising money for projects and traveling to the city. The local group aims to raise be tween $5,000 and $7,000 to help build a new high school in San Jorge. The high school there is so crowded stu dents must attend class in shifts. The students who have class at night are cheated because the electricity of ten fails, said Katharyn Mills, one of the organizers of the program. ; A dance marathon benefit at Cat's Cradle on Franklin Street raised more than $2,000. Mills said she thought the dance was a success, and there are plans to make it an annual event. The high school is the first big projf ect for the group since the Chapel Hill Town Council voted unanimously June 12, 1989, to support the program. A delegation of 13 people from Chape Hill will travel to Nicaragua in Febru ary during national elections. The Nicaraguan government has asked that sister city delegations in Nicaragua be observers in their sister cities during the election period, Mills said. There will be many observers from around the world in Nicaragua during the elections, but few will be in the small towns, she said. Chapel Hill was matched with Sah Jorge at an annual conference held in Managua promoting Nicaraguan sister city programs. The Chapel Hill program is not af-, filiated with Sister City International. It belongs to a coalition of local Amov can-Nicaraguan sister city programs: Chapel Hill was the first city in the South to have ties with a Nicaraguan city, Mills said. The original American sister city f program, Sister City International, was established by President Dwight Eis- enhower in 1956 to promote relations between American and foreign cities:- a on sale now with savings up to mjs. cvclis per copy! 65 S.
