"It will drum up spirit for Saturday's Duke-Carolina game," said Chris Miller, president of Pi Kappa Alpha.

"We're only $20,000 away from $1 million," said Rob Temple, director of Phonathon. "Last year we raised $1 million by Christmas, but this year we've almost raised that amount one month earlier." Phonathon, which was created nine Purchase By ERIC LUSK Staff Writer Durham County Commissioners Tuesday night adopted a resolution authorizing the purchase of land for a new baseball stadium to house the Durham Bulls. The county proposed two sites for the new complex, one at the University Ford car dealership and another near Durham Technical College on Briggs Avenue, said Paul Warren, Durham County finance director. The resolution states that the county and city must raise the money for the complex by Jan. 3, 1990. If they fail to raise the funds, the county will pour Durham bus buy-out By JEFF MOYER Staff Writer A proposed buy-out of the Durham public transit system by the city of Dur ham from Duke Power could have a significant effect on federal funding for the Chapel Hill Transit system. Because Duke Power is a privately owned system ineligible for federal funds, the money not used by Durham is allocated to other cities such as Chapel Hill, said Bob Godding, Chapel Hill transportation director. "Chapel Hill competes for limited federal funds with other cities in North Carolina." If the Durham system comes under a public owner, Chapel Hill will have to share its federal funds, he said. "The amount of money given to Durham involves a formula that takes population into account." Durham's population would entitle the city to a large share of the federal funds the Department of Transporta tion allocates to the state, he said. Durham transit supervisor Kennett Nunn said Greensboro might also con tend for federal funds to support a bus system. "The city of Greensboro is also looking to buy out the city transporta tion system, which is also owned by Duke Power." Mark Ahrendsen, a Durham trans parade Carmichael down Raleigh Street and Franklin Street and then end on Colum bia Street, where it will disperse at Fraternity Court. Ron Freeman, parade coordinator, said the parade had become a tradition both for the University and for the community. The misspelling of Duke as "Dook" began when the parade was first held to promote spirit for the game, and the "mistake" just caught on, Freeman said. The parade will consist of several jjr"----"-: : ' rainy Wednesday comes to a quiet conclusion outside the Student Union. years ago, raises expenditure money for academics. It is part of the University's Department of Develop ment and University Relations. It seeks to raise money that will affect students immediately, Temple said. "Usually, all the money is spent within the year." The money raised goes either to the Chancellor's Fund to pay for Univer sity projects or to the Dean's Fund to pay for projects within the schools. "It of land for support into a regional sports complex located on the edge of Durham County near Research Triangle Park, he said. The cost for the new stadium is esti mated at about $10.8 million plus the cost of securing the land, Warren said. The land at the University Ford loca tion would cost the city about $5 mil lion and the Briggs Avenue site about $6.1 million, he said. "The University Ford location is going to be difficult to buy because of all the conditions the owner has pro posed." Durham County citizens will have a chance in March to approve the resolu tion before any money is spent. portation engineer who is organizing the city's proposed system, said Greensboro's size could add to a sig nificant depletion of available funds for Chapel Hill if its and Durham's contracts are signed, he said. Godding said he was unsure of how the buy-outs could affect Chapel Hill because of the unpredictability of fed eral fund granting. The federal government will con tribute up to 50 percent of the operating costs of the transit system, and the local funding must make up what the federal government is unable to pay, Godding said. If the federal government can't contribute as much, as would be the case if Durham and Greensboro were to purchase transit systems from Duke Power, decisions would need to be made locally to increase funding. There would be three alternatives for Chapel Hill Transit to take, God ding said. "We could raise fares, look to cut expenses or seek additional funding from local sponsors such as the Univer sity." Godding would not speculate on whether fares will increase as a result of the developments in Greensboro or Durham. He did point out that the cost of bus passes had increased this past year, and the standard bus fare had to precede Dyke game floats and cars along with the UNC mascot, Mikeman Carl Bryan and some junior varsity cheerleaders, Miller said. "Santa Claus, and possibly Elvis Presley, will be making special appear ances," he said. The grand marshal of the parade will be Charlie "Choo-Choo" Justice who played football for Carolina in the 1930s. "He's UNC's greatest football hero ever," Miller said.

Undergraduate students supply the labor for Phonathon. They earn $4 per hour and work Sundays through Thurs days from 6 pm to 10 p.m. Most stu dents work about 10-15 hours a week. The students' job is to phone people and ask them to donate money to UNC, Temple said. "About 90 percent of the people we call are alumni." baseball stadium wins approva "If passed, construction will start in six months," Warren said. "We would hope then to have the team in the sta dium a year later." Warren said county commissioners had voted in favor of the new stadium rather than renovating the Durham Athletic Park, the Bulls' present home, because construction would stop Bulls baseball for at least a year. "We can still have Bulls baseball in the old park while construction of the new one is taking place." If the county fails to raise the money to secure either the University Ford or Briggs Avenue location, the team would move to the Research Triangle sports plan worries Chapel Hi remained at 50 cents since 1982. Nunn said tDuke Power was getting out of public transportation because of money. "Duke Power has lost money on the transit system in Durham for at least the last 10-15 years.

The Public Works Department wants to include the University in its efforts to recycle city waste, said Blair Pollock, solid waste planner. "Years ago, we did have a drop-off site on campus. We recycled newspa pers." The Student Environmental Action Committee (SEAC) and the Tarheel Aluminum Recycling Program (TARP) are trying to implement recycling pro grams on campus, but they have en countered problems with fire marshals and health officials, Pollock said. Pub lic Works has offered to set up a drop off site on campus and provide a ve hicle for pick-up, but University offi cials have yet to make a decision. Pollock has high hopes for the future of recycling. "The University has hired a recycling coordinator, Philip Prete. This, along with increased environ mental interest from the SEAC and TARP, looks good for their future." Recycling coordinator Wendy McGee said an initial Chapel Hill Hillsborough expansion program that began in October had resulted in 45 The other 1 0 percent of people called are parents of students and also those who came to UNC but didn't graduate. "If parents give, then they can feel like they're helping their children while they're in school," he said. Shari Causa, a freshman from Green ville, said: "I knew some people who worked here before, and they told me it was a good job. I've raised $20,000." Sometimes the job is frustrating complex. The facility would then be funded and governed by a regional sports au thority, instead of just Durham county and city officials, Warren said. "Because the complex is located inside the Durham County line, we would still be called the Durham Bulls." Steve Bryant, a Raleigh business man and owner of the class AA Caro lina Mudcats, approves of keeping the Bulls in the Durham city limits but does not favor moving them to the Research Triangle. "They (Bulls) can't move to the Triangle. That's our territorial right." Bryant said the Bulls' owner, Miles Revenue has decreased because Duke Power has not kept up with bus rates over the years and because a sub stantial number of riders, such as stu dents and senior citizens, are entitled to discounts, Nunn said.

During the first three weeks of the curbside program, 70.8 tons of news paper, 26.5 tons of glass and 1,66 pounds of aluminum were collected. So far, the new expansion program looks successful, McGee said, and since Tuesday, BFI Waste has picked up 1,595 bins from Orange County house holds. In addition to the curbside collec tion, 36 tons of recyclable materials were collected from 10 drop-off sites in October. "We're very happy with the partici pation in Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough," McGee said. "The people are highly educated in these areas, and they believe that by taking action, they will help improve their environment." Low participation and cost cutting forced Public Works to cancel pilot programs in apartment communities, Pollock said. Three volunteer programs do exist in apartment complexes, and volunteers manage collection and dis posal on their own time. Plans for the future include a used engine oil drop off in Orange County. The closest oil drop-off is the Jiffy Lube located on U.S. Highway 15-501 inside the Durham border. because people do not always want to be bothered, Causa said. "A lot of times it depends upon who you call. If you talk to someone that usually doesn't contribute to the University, then they may get upset. It's pretty frustrating when people hang up on you. Most people are supportive and want to help" the University." 1 Anyone interested in Phonathon should contact Rob Temple at 9674 7014. : Wolff, must avoid choosing a location in Research Triangle under a rule pro hibiting a baseball team from existing within 35 miles of another team. The move would place the Bulls closer than 35 miles to the Mudcats' home. Bryant plans to house his Mudcats in a stadium off of U.S. Highway 264, two miles east of Zebulon. :' Wolff originally lobbied for the 35 mile rule when Raleigh tried to land a baseball team, Byrant said. Before that time, the rule only prohibited two teams from existing within 10 miles of each other. Wolff could not be reached for comment. caaBs Durham is looking into purchasing new equipment and adding a Blue Line Shuttle between Durham and Chapel Hill like the one offered by the Chapel Hill Transit System, he said.
