They will monitor polling pre cincts on national elections day, group members said at a press conference Policy for domestic violence changes By KIM JASKI Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Police Department is hoping to implement fully a new arrest policy for domestic violence within the next two months. The pro-arrest policy states that when a police officer arrives on a scene of domestic violence in which he has probable cause or sufficient evidence to suggest physical violence, he has the right to make an arrest. Traditionally, in cases of domestic violence an officer would attempt to mediate between the two parties or separate them. It was also his job to give the necessary information to the victim so that charges could be drawn. Off eers were reluctant to make an arrest for crimes not committed in their pres ence. Chapel Hill Police Capt. Ralph Pendergraph said that the new policy Congratulations DTH writers Students who applied to work for University, state and national or arts and features desks of The Daily Tar Heel can find out if they were selected by checking the front window of the DTH office in Union 104. New writers should see their respective editors as soon as possible. The city and business desks still need writers. Interested students should contact city editor Jessica Lanning or business editor Tom Parks at 962-0245. Jan. 25 in Murphey 111 at 5 p.m. This will be a brainstorming session to come up with ideas and concerns about the SRC. A problem-solving session will be held Jan. 26 in Room 224 of the Student Union at 2 p.m. During the second workshop, par ticipants will narrow down the infor mation gathered in the first. "It will be more of a problem-solving session in which we'll check ideas," said Frye. Somers C A M P U i2 "We want to make sure all seniors feel like a part of this class," Somers said. One key to meeting the needs of seniors is close contact with the class members, Kennedy said. Kennedy and Somers hope to continue the senior newsletter and create a senior resource book to be distributed during registra tion. The book would contain dates, calendars, phone numbers and other information of use to all seniors. The candidates also plan to hold career and graduate school fairs and implement an alumni outreach program 4 to Thursday night. The group will have official observer status on the day of the election, Feb. 25, and will be able to observe San Jorge voters inside the four precincts. The sister city relationship was offi cially recognized last June when the town council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution establishing it, said should help victims in the problem of domestic violence and bring more cases into the courts. "There is a problem in that when you're being victimized, you're not necessarily able to deal with things, especially when you're being intimi dated by the batterer," Pendergraph said. For some time, the police have been working with other groups that deal with issues of domestic violence to try to decrease the incident rate, Pender graph added. Fred Stang, Director of the CHANGE program for men at the Orange-Durham Coalition for Battered Women, Inc., said the program should help convey the seriousness of domestic violence. "The pro-arrest pol icy is not a change in law, but a change in policy and a change in practice for police. There is not a clear message out about domestic Writing for the DTH requires about 10 hours per week. Experience is helpful but not necessary.

Hi delegation Architects from Burnstudio in Raleigh will be leading the workshops. "We're looking for input from stu dents as well as the faculty to give us a better idea as to what their concerns are on the project," said Masaya Konishia, a partner in Burnstudio. "We know that there has been con troversy surrounding the center. I know that the location of the center was an issue. I read in the paper that some run for senior class office which would enable seniors to contact alumni in their major field. Kennedy and Somers said they will continue working with Chapel Hill merchants to obtain senior discounts and specials and will plan activ ities that will appeal to all seniors. In addition to traditional seniornights out, they hope to work for a brunch with alumni before homecoming as well as blocks for homecoming and the last home football and basketball games. Kennedy is a resident assistant in Winston Residence Hall and treasurer of the Coalition for Student Action. He is also former president of Alpha Phi Omega fraternity.

This policy should identify the problem and show that it won't be tolerated and that there will be conse quences." North Carolina is among the many states that are trying to solve the prob lem of domestic violence. According to Stang, a study was done in Minnesota in 1984 on this issue. Research showed that the rate of police returning to the scene of domes tic violence was lower when arrests were made. In some states, it has be come law for mandatory arrests by police officers when they have prob able cause. Amy Hartlyn, Chapel Hill Police social worker and crisis counselor, has worked in Connecticut and Tennessee on policy and intervention involving cases of domestic violence. Hartlyn said in Connecticut, a case occurred in which a woman sued a police force because it did not respond quickly enough to a repeated case of violence after restraining orders had been put out on the batterer. "People need to realize that domes tic violence is a criminal justice matter, not just a family problem," Hartlyn said. Training courses will begin for the Chapel Hill Police, instructing the offi cers on the new policy, and it will be implemented afterward. "In this way, it will be easier for the police to do their job protection," Hartlyn added. students felt it wasn't a viable project." The SRC has a board of directors composed of three faculty members and seven students including Frye. Board members will be attending both workshops. "I hope a lot of students and faculty who have a vested interest in it (SRC) will come," said Frye. "I hope a lot of people who have experience in aero bics and weight training will also come to the sessions." : v Bo Somers (left) enic2 recruiting By KENNY MONTEITH Staff Writer Are you interested in meeting alumni and serving as a voice for the student body? If your answer is yes, then the Order of the Bell Tower is for you. The Order of the Bell Tower is an honorary service group that acts as a liaison between the students and alumni, said Treasurer Jason Beckert. "We represent the University at various functions, for example, at the president's brunch." The order also represents the Uni versity at the Chancellor's Box at home football games, University Day, com mencement and other events, Beckert said. "We also do the Exam Survival Kits for a fund-raiser. We sold anywhere from fifteen hundred to two thousand kits last semester. We also do the 'Who's New at Carolina' for the freshmen." Applications, which are due Jan. 26, are available at the Student Union desk. 'The applicants then set up an inter view, and if they do well, they are asked to join," Beckert said. The Order of the Bell Tower, which has about 70 members, also operates a workshop in which members go to local high schools to describe college life at UNC to high school seniors. Beckert said that as an Order of the Bell Tower member, he has traveled to various places such as Maine and Miami for regional conferences. He said that after the election the cen tral government will not be as attentive toward the needs of the people, but that the local government will be important. "For the people of San Jorge, and I would hope for the people of Chapel Hill too, this might be a very, very important first step," Walter said. Gil Joseph, UNC professor of his tory, said what he finds exciting about the relationship is the commitment toward electoral policy on both the part of the ruling Sandinista government and the conservative opposition par ties. "It looks like a very interesting exer cise in democracy at a time when democracy is breaking out in all other parts of the world," he said. Herzenberg said that although the group hopes a delegation from Nicara gua will be able to come to Chapel Hill in the future, the group would not be able to watch voters inside polling places because North Carolina law Town Meetings Tuesday, Jan. 23 Chapel Hill Town Council 7:30 p.m. Municipal Building, 306 N.

Students and faculty will have a chance to come and critique the sketches said Frye. The designing of the SRC will take about one year. "We're negotiating our contract, but we haven't gotten started on the building yet," said Konishia. -A-7 1. 5 and Chris Kennedy roup mow members: Although the order is only at UNt many other universities and college; have such service groups, Beckert said.,; "They just have different names."

We! want good people to represent the' school, especially during football sea-r-son." Brian Baynard, a sophomore mem-: ber from Raleigh, said the Order of the Bell Tower offers a great chance to v meet people. v; "It's a great opportunity to give serv ice back to the school. You also do a lot -for the chancellor. You get to know the people in the organization and make new friends." Junior Erica Riefenberg, Order of; the Bell Tower secretary, said she liked . -the camaraderie between the organiza-, tion and the alumni. "You give the alumni a feeling on -what's happening on campus, like how '. students feel about the new Alumni Center and also how things have ', changed since they've been here. '. "You talk with them about what it ". was like when they went to school."
