Franklin St. business owners, police prepare for Halloweei
By NICOLE PEREZ
Staff Writer
This Halloween many UNC students
and community residents are expected
to flock to Franklin Street for a night of
people-watchmg and fun, and down
town businesses are gearing up for the
crowds.
"There is a big increase in business
from a normal Wednesday night," said
Mike McCormick.the owner of Players
night club. "It will be more like a week
end." Richard Layton, the manager of
Record Bar, disagreed about an increase
in business. "Our business goes down.
Nobody wants to buy anything. Every
body wants to just walk around and
freak."
Many UNC students said they have
plans to head downtown and partake in
the night's festivities.
"I'm just dressing up and hanging
out with my friends," said Mike Parker,
a junior speech communications major
from Wilmington. "We are going to
walk up and down Franklin Street and
just look at people."
David Charapp, a freshman business
major from Pittsburgh, said he had no
definite plans, but he might go out to
Franklin Street.
One student, who said she did not
want to be identified, is even planning
on starting her own Franklin Street tra
dition. "It was a tradition for all the girls in
my hometown to flash people on Hal
loween," she said. "I and five of my
friends are going to carry that tradition
on in Chapel Hill. We are going to wear
peacock headdresses and trench coats.
"We know that there will be a lot of
cops out, but we're hoping not to get
caught. We'll be discreet," she said.
Halloween will be one of the busiest
nights of the year for the police, said
Jane Cousins, Chapel Hill Police De
partment planner.
."Normally we would have three to
five officers uptown, but (Wednesday)
we will have 45 officers uptown,"
Cousins said. "Everybody will be up
there."
Last week police sent fliers to busi
nesses on Franklin Street to prepare
them for the big night, Cousins said.
The fliers explained the parking policy
and asked those who serve alcohol to
use plastic cups or aluminum cans.
"Basically, the Halloween crowd is a
real cross section of people," Cousins
said. "The alcohol consumption is less
than on football and basketball nights,
so the crowd is more manageable. We
do have some fights, and some cars are
damaged. That's why we don't allow
people to park on Franklin Street after 4
o'clock."
University Police said they were not
expecting any problems on campus.
"Here on campus it will be business
as usual (Wednesday) night," said Lt.
Marcus Perry. "Franklin Street is the
real problem area, not the campus."
Some business owners agreed that
the crowd on Franklin Street would be
wilder than usual, but most said they
would not be taking any extra security
measures.
"I see no need to take extra precau
tions," said Kathy Kennedy, manager
of Ben & Jerry's. "It can't be worse than
after any of the basketball games or
some of the things we've had down
town." Layton said, "We'll just close at our
normal hour and make sure the door is
locked good. Other than that, there is
not a hell of a lot that you can do. Just
hope you don't get egged."
Spanky's will increase its staff to
help deal with the extra customers aiid
will also require patrons to remove their
masks to prevent people from usiSg
stolen ID's, said manager Perry DowxJ.
"We will be doing a few things dif
ferently (Wednesday) night," Dcrwd
said. "We'll have a band upstairs, and
we'll be selling cans (of beer) instead of
bottles, in compliance with the police
request."
Fowler's Food Store up for sale by corporation
By MARIEL WILSON
Staff Writer
Fowler's Food Store, the traditional
old grocery store serving both UNC
students and Chapel Hill residents, is
now up for sale.
"Lyon Stores, Inc. is in the process of
advertising to sell Fowler's," said Todd
Zapolski, president of Consolidated
Ventures Corp.
Consolidated Ventures owns the
building, but Lyon Stores, Inc. bought
the lease from the Fowler family in
1976.
John Fowler first opened the store in
the 1920s on East Franklin Street. The
store's name and location have changed
twice before the business secured the
present property at 306 W. Franklin St.
John Fowler's great-grandson, Bobby
Fowler, learned from the Chapel Hill
Newspaper that the store was for sale,
but he expressed no intention to buy it.
"I went to the trouble of selling it 15
years ago," Fowler said.
John D. Lyon Jr., president of Lyon
Stores, Inc. said, "We are actively seek
ing a buyer who will be committed to
carrying on the Fowler's tradition."
He added that a buyer has not yet
been identified, but he hopes to find one
who will keep the grocery store much
the same as it is now.
Zapolski said he expected another
grocery store to open in its place, but
that the Consolidated Ventures Corp.
will not buy the lease.
Council
"We're not in the grocery business,
so we are not looking to buy the opera
tion," Zapolski said.
Fowler's remains one of the few in
dependently owned grocery stores open
today, because competition from large
chains makes it difficult for small busi
nesses to survive.
The new store owners, as yet un
known, are expected to keep its tradi
tion intact for residents of UNC and
Chapel Hill, Lyon said.

Northside boundary at North Columbia
Street.
"We think that represents a slightly
more unified area," said council mem
ber Nancy Preston.
Later in the night, Joe Herzenberg
rubbed his eyes sleepily as the council
proceeded with the 1 1th item on the
agenda. An item on hotelmotel tax al
locations included the question of
whether or not part of the money should
be given to the ArtsCenter, even in light
of recent financial problems it has ex
perienced. The final vote was 5-4 to give $8,75 1
of the hotelmotel tax money to the
ArtsCenter and to hold the remainder of
the $15,000 originally recommended
for them until the council had seen its
audit.
Joyce Brown, Nancy Preston, Arthur
Werner and Joe Herzenberg voted
against the resolution.
The vote also gave $35,000 of this
money to eight other non-profit and
cultural organizations, including
$10,000 to be spent on new holiday
decorations for the town.
During the proceedings, council
member Roosevelt Wilkerson indicated
that some of the decisions concerning
the ArtsCenter may have been based on
race.
"If this organization (the ArtsCenter)
had been led by an African-American
person, we would have closed the doors
by now," he said.
The discussion over the allocation of
funds heated up when Wilkerson pro
tested to Mayor Jonathan Howes that a
woman in favor of funding for the
ArtsCenter was talking too long. The
meeting was not a public hearing, he
said, accusing Howes of favoring the
ArtsCenter. "This is a charade, Jon,"
Wilkerson said.
After some bickering between
Wilkerson and Howes about whether or
not the woman should be allowed to
continue, the mayor slammed his gavel
down on the table and said, "In the
opinion of the chair, you are out of
order."
After a moment of silence, the
woman, apparently shaken by the ex
change, quickly closed her remarks.
About ten minutes before the council
was called to order, a group of about 30
members of the Student Environmental
Action Coalition, wearing T-shirts that
read "NC's three R's, Roads, Roads,
Roads," filed noisily into the meeting
room.
The students presented a petition to
the council and requested that it pass a
resolution saying state priorities were
Court
not being met despite ample resources
in the multi-billion dollar Highway Trust
Fund.
The council promised to consider the
resolution, which was written by SEAC
members. "We're not ducking this',"
Howes said. "We'd just like to massage
your language a bit."
The students then filed out as they
had come in, while the mayor jokingly
assured the council that the students
would have stayed for the meeting had
they not had exams.

whether or not they followed the re
quirements. The lawsuit originated with the re
fusal of the University of North Caro
lina at Asheville and the North Carolina
School of the Arts to submit to the
reviews.
The Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs has never alleged
that either institution engaged in dis
criminatory practices or failed to follow
affirmative action plans.
Ziko said the lawsuit does not test the
schools' adherence to affirmative ac
tion polices, but questions who falls
under federal regulations such as the
affirmative action policies.
"There have never been any allega
tions (of discriminatory hiring)," he said.
"All we're saying is, 'You don't have
any right to demand these (reviews) of
us.'"
N.C. Attorney General Lacy
Thornburg issued a statement saying he
did not support the court's findings. ..
"We continue to believe that deci
sion is inconsistent with the language of
the federal statutes at issue and the
administrative structure of the Univer
sity of North Carolina which, in accor
dance with its own regulations, the
OFCCP is bound to respect," he said.
Judges Robert F. Chapman and John
D. Butzner Jr. ruled in favor of the
Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs. Judge Emory D. Widener Jr.
dissented, supporting the UNC system.
