Hildebolt said the campaign had been issue-oriented before the Feb. 20 elec tion. "I think that's why I came out on top," he said. "I had ideas that got people excited, and they weren't con cerned with flash and image. After the election, things changed totally."

Proposals for the ordinance origi nated approximately two months ago, when the board was approached by the owners of a small T-shirt business who were having difficulty opening a shop in Carrboro, Alderman Frances Shetley said. Shetley said the board felt the hard ship of paying rent before the business opened would be too much for the small business to handle. She said the board asked its staff to see what could be done to handle the problem. Groups sponsor an evening an assortment of Tibetan crafts, books, magazines, postcards and snacks. Ti betan snacks include: Momo, a steamed, meat-filled dumpling; Kabsey, a sweet; and Tibetan tea, a blend of butter, salt, milk and tea.

"The first thing I'm going to do is call people from special interest groups and other cam paigns and invite them to work with me so that we can get student government back on its feet. "I don't think people realize what student government does for them," he said. "We wouldn't have a (Student) Union without government, and Chapel Hill wouldn't have a bus system." Bibbs said he would begin reorgan izing student government the day he ner said. "We'd like some ideas from students about where our ridership is."

The old application process for a conditional-use permit took up to six months, Shetley said. The new ordi nance should cut the waiting period by several months, making it easier on small businesses who are paying rent on the property while waiting for their permit application to be approved. An additional change in the existing process concerns the recipient of the zoning permit. The new ordinance will grant a permit to the owner of the prop erty, rather than to each individual business. Property owners may locate more than one business on a property server. Carl Jones, teams with pride Monday afternoon. - of the situation in Tibet is her main purpose. The Chinese government has imposed martial law in Tibet since the 30th Uprising on March 10, 1989. "The public needs to be aware that this suppression is a violation of human rights and continues today," she said. "There was a lot of publicity about the imposition of martial law in Beijing, but it only lasted for about eight months, and martial law still exists in Tibet." The Dalai Lama won the 1 989 Nobel Peace Prize and now travels around the world, meeting people and fostering international support for the Tibetan cause. 'The U.S. government has not sub- got into office. "I will begin the healing process of bringing student government back together," he said. "I'll send forms and questionnaires to other campus leaders to submit the names of people they feel are qualified to serve in student govern ment positions based on performance, communication skills and leadership abilities."

Some safeguards have been imple mented into the ordinance to keep businesses from taking advantage of lighter restrictions. The zoning admin istrators, under the new ordinance, still have the option, in certain circum stances, to require businesses to obtain a conditional-use permit.

The exiled government is trying to preserve the Tibetan culture, religion and tradition so Tibetans can maintain their own identities. Samkhar said she hoped modern education would help the younger Tibetans stand up for what they be lieve. "Hopefully, they will learn what their rights are and someday help in the fight to end Chinese government's suppres sion." A $1.50 donation is suggested for students, and $3-$5 is requested from others. from page 1 etteville, said the process had been drawn out too far. "Right now I'm in a state of numbness regarding the elec tions," she said.

By JESSICA YATES Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Town Council de cided during Monday night's meeting that traffic improvements on U.S. High way 15-501 would be its top priority for federally funded projects, but debate ensued when members tried to formu late the best solutions to alleviate the problems. XVf; The council debated for nearlyan hour trying to rework the list of project recommendations made by the CHapd Hill Transportation Board and Chabel Hill Planning Board. m . The council's final vote made fdelelti ally funded projects improving 'Anil extending frontage roads along H.. 15-501 from Franklin Street and Irket state 40 interchange its top priorifyX Council member Julie Andr&sep motioned to move the proposed project on frontage roads from priority nunibr four to number one, moving the widen ing of U.S. 15-501, from the bypass Jp the Chatham County line, down the Ji$t in the council's requests to the fi. Department of Transportation. x . Many members expressed conce'rji that widening the road leading tcMhjs Chatham County line would encouag residents of that county to use the high way more. Two council members, Art Werner and James Wallace, voted again sHfye resolution which authorized submit ting the town's list of transportation project priorities to the North Carolina Transportation Improvement Prograrti. Werner said he did not think that the emphasis should be on service roads along the highway to improve traffic problems. "If you build all these roads, you just saturate the bypass," he said. "It really seems like we're going on a massive road building program." Wallace argued he wanted to make a federally funded highway across Chatham County a priority so U.S. ;f 5 501 would not carry so many travelers from Chatham County into Orange County. ; Mayor Jonathan Howes said: -he agreed with Wallace's concern, but it was up to the state's thoroughfare plans to improve Chatham County's cross county highway system. "Chatham County itself has not yet supported k," he said. "The forum for the discussion of that, unfortunately, is not here yet." All four project proposals made for primary roads dealt with the traffic problems on U.S. 15-501. Two other recommendations the boards listed requested federal funding to construct a park-and-ride facility along Interstate 40 and to widen the highway from Franklin Street to the interstate's inter change. Quorum from page 1 Sam Bagenstos (Dist. 1 4) said he did not attend the meeting because he did not agree with the court's decision.lj'I didn't think it was right to go to the meeting and give the election my stafjip of approval. "I think the Supreme Court used legalistic arguments to get around the obvious will of the people," he said; Bagenstos said other congress members may not have attended the meeting because they did not recetve notice in time. :: It's not a sale.
