Carrboro to By KIM JASKI Staff Writer Carrboro Board of Aldermen voted unanimously Nov. 28 to join Chapel Hill in the Sister City program, which pairs U.S. cities with other cities around the world. An aim of the exchange is to pair cities with similar characteristics in order to help promote cultural aware ness. Alderman Jay Bryan said a commit tee had been appointed to take care of future exchanges, including the one that Chapel Hill is trying to arrange with Nicaragua. Soviet cities are now being considered to be paired with Chapel Hill and Carrboro. David Griffiths, associate professor of Russian history at UNC, proposed the idea and emphasized pairing with a Soviet city. Griffiths said he thought most people knew little about the So viet Union and the exchange would "raise an awareness of an important nation and important cultures in that nation." Alderman Tom Gurganus said the proposal was not a controversial issue, and it passed easily. Only positive questions about choosing a Soviet city were raised at the meeting. He added that he thought a Soviet city would be an appropriate choice. "In the last few years, the way poli tics are changing, communication with a Soviet city will be beneficial," Gur ganus said. One of the cities being considered is Tartu, a small town in the Soviet repub lic of Estonia, which has a population of 1.6 million. Tartu has already been approached, and letters have been sent to the mayor of the town. Joel Schwartz, a professor of politi cal science at UNC, has visited Tartu several times and said he thinks it is the ideal city to be paired with Chapel Hill and Carrboro. "Of all possible cities in all of the VISA. The CAA will distribute the upper level seats that are exchanged in the morning to students who do not already have tickets from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the same day. The normal distribution policy will apply. Lisa Frye, CAA president, said Fri day that the CAA set these hours with intent of discouraging students from cutting classes to get tickets. "This way students can come down early, before their classes, to exchange their tickets," Frye said. Three press boxes were removed to make room for 120 of the new seats, Stratford College in Danville, Va., and graduated from UNC in 1948. CD. Spangler, UNC-system presi dent, said Fox was an effective member of the BOG. "She was faithful in her attendance at board and committee meetings. Even at the time of her illness, she made attempts to attend. She was diligent in her responsibilities, and the University benefited. She had abroad-gauged inter est, whether it was academics or sports." Incumbent Julie Andresen agrees. "It's going to be nice because we will get compliments instead of com plaints. Throughout the year we only see the disgruntled people at the meet ings so tonight is going to be a pleasant change." Brown, who considers the ceremo nies as a time of celebration, said she invited friends and supporters to the occasion. Incumbent Art Werner said he would be accompanied by family members and committee supporters. Andresen said the ceremonies were important because they marked the end of one council and the beginning of another. She said while the ceremonies were a joyous occasion, she would forget the work of former town council members. "I'm sure there will be some nice things said about town council mem bers who are departing," Andresen said. join Sister City program Soviet Union, no city is closer in com- position, chemistry, population and ambience to Chapel Hill than Tartu," Schwartz said.

The seats are in sections 109, 110 and 111. The Smith Center plans to install about 55 more seats in time for the Dec. 16 DePaul game by removing armrests from seats on selected rows and placing the seats closer together. This will al low room for one or two additional seats on these rows. Three other press boxes were re moved earlier this year, and about 100 seats were constructed in their place. The CAA decided to allot these seats to Fox served on several committees, including the educational planning and policy committee, the University gov ernance committee, the intercollegiate athletics special committee and the Committee on Committees.

Town council members said they would not be allowed to address any issues. "It would not be a bad idea to take some leadership from the mayor and address a few issues," Andresen said. Werner disagrees. "I have just spent two months campaigning, and I don't need another platform." The town council members said they had not decided what they were going to wear. "I guess I'll wear whatever hits my fancy when I get up," Rimer said. Werner said he also had not given attire much consideration.

Frye said students were given these seats instead of the new seats because it would help improve spirit at games. The seats previously occupied by foot ball recruits are in Section 117 of the student section. About 25 more tickets were gained from various other sources including press passes and other recruiting pro grams. Frye said she was very pleased with the way the addition of the new seats She handled it with great diplomacy. She went out of her way to attend, study and participate."

Part of the celebration included the defacing of an old Ford automobile to demonstrate what the rescue squad members often encounter while at tempting to safely rescue victims of accident situations. The rescue work ers answered questions and explained complicated procedures. The squad's building has doubled in size since last spring. Since Octo ber, the renovations have allowed the building to accommodate three more emergency vehicles inside and house volunteer emergency medical techni cians in private bedrooms. In addi tion, the building now has a board room, repainted walls and new car peting. South Orange Rescue member Claire Heck said the renovations were desperately needed and long over due. "We were busting at the seams," she said. "We had very expensive ambulances and trucks that stayed outside and just not enough space." Before the renovations, volunteers shared bedrooms and office space was limited, Ray DeFriess, chief of SORS, said. The facility was enlarged to create a better six-bedroom, two office combination. As for the cost of the expansion, the SORS, a volunteer operation, now faces a $250,000 mortgage on its building. The last two fund-raising drives have helped to soften the blow. The squad operates primarily on SiiEiday OrosieEi at GrooEi's C;en at 6:00 pm for C. :r had progressed and the quality of the seating. "I think students are really going to enjoy these seats," she said. Jeff Elliot, Smith Center director, said Frye, along with Student Body President Brien Lewis, were largely responsible for the increase in student tickets. "On behalf of the athletic depart-" ment, I would like to commend Brien: and Lisa for all their hard work," Elliot : said. "It was a very long and tedious: process, but the net gain of over. 300: seats was well worth it." ! yy. said. "She looked at both sides. She was responsible to the general needs of the students." In addition to serving on the BOG, Fox was on the boards of the N.C. . Museum of Art and Central Carolina Bank. She was a buyer and vice presi- dent for Fox Department Stores. ; The General Assembly will elect a; person to fulfill the remaining two year of her unexpired term during tljer: legislature's next regular session. :x individual donations, but funds are also generated from public sources, Heck said. "Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Or ange County each give us some money, about 15 to 20 percent of our total income combined. And some of the civic clubs give us money. "But the emphasis is that indi viduals give us donations and the majority of these are $15-20 dona tions, which says to us that we have a lot of community support. We're not getting $10,000 a year from Glaxo," she said. Not only will the recent renova tions benefit SORS during its night time and weekend coverage of Chapel Hill, Carrboro and rural parts of Orange County, they also will bene fit Orange County Emergency Medi cal Services, which occupies the building during daytime hours within the week. OCEMS, which is provided by the county and run by county-paid em ployees, operates out of the SORS building, and gives SORS a certain amount of money each month. "They use some of our vehicles, and the. county buys some vehicles also, so there's a good joint relation ship between the county and the volunteer squad and what's provided back and forth," Heck said. "It saves people in the county a great deal of money." Even though the facility will house volunteers and employees, DeFriess said an outsider looking in would not be able to tell the difference between a volunteer worker and a paid worker. "The idea is to work together, and they do a good job with that." u iu riauiuiii dii Chapel Hill, KC m
