2The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, November 14, 1990 Council proposes study to regelate airport's growth, safety By SAMANTHA GOWEN ; , Staff Writer ': , The Chapel Hill Town Council de cided Monday night to look into new methods of keeping Horace Williams Airport safe by cutting back its use by . non-UNC aircraft. : The council voted unanimously to Irefer the matter to Town Manager Cal Horton and his staff. Horton will study new ways to regulate publicly the air ,port to ensure limited growth and re duced use of the airport by bigger planes !r)ot owned by UNC. ; ; Council member Jimmy Wallace encouraged his colleagues to continue ' fighting for a private designation of the airport. "We need to push for it very strongly," he said, "rather than have it come before us with the next 25 chancellors." Council members expressed their disappointment in UNC's refusal to change the airport from public use to private. After the Orange County com missioners voted to stop searching for alternative airport sites, the council re quested that UNC designate Horace Williams for private use. Citing monetary and safety reasons, UNC decided last month not to change the airport from public to private. Horace Williams Airport is located on the Estes Drive Extension, adjacent to two UNC satellite parking lots and near local schools. A local group has complained that the airport is becoming too big. "The new enhancements to the air port will attract more air traffic rather than reduce," said Rosemary Waldorf of Citizens for Airport Planning. "We have students taking flying lessons out there over our homes and schools add ing to the risk, and RDU doesn't even make an effort to re-route air traffic during hazardous weather." The airport recently extended its run way from 3,500 feet to 4,000 feet and added better-equipped radar equipment. Local residents said they feared these added attractions would bring bigger, louder planes to the residential area. Waldorf suggested the town take measures to rezone the area to prevent further expansion. A noise ordinance preventing larger aircraft from using the airport was also suggested. In other news, the council heard from National Junior Olympics spokesman Bob Baxter. The Junior Olympics will be held in Chapel Hill next summer. Baxter asked the council for $20,000 in exchange for the $5 million economic impact he predicts the events will have on Chapel Hill. "We look forward to having 7,000 to 8.000 athletes participating in the Olympics," Baxter said. "Think of all the parents, brothers, sisters arid grandparents shopping downtown, spending their money in your shops." Paul Tripodi of the Chapel Hill Spoils Commission said, "Five million dol lars is a big impact here during the summer months when everyone is just sitting around waiting for school to re sume in the fall," Tripodi said. Fraternity CD sale to benefit McDonald House For the Record ; ; The Nov. 12 Daily Tar Heel article, "'Union gallery exhibit criticizing Helms ! rekindles political debate," should have .'stated that the forum planned for ; Wednesday would be moved to the ; Union Auditorium if there was a large response. Also, in the Nov. 9 DTH article, '"Lone protesters' begin countdown," Alecia Brower's name was spelled in correctly. The DTH regrets the errors. $5000 CASH BONUS FOR NURSES The Army is now offering nurses with BSNs a $5000 bonus.

Sgt. 1st Class Jacobs 1-80.0-662-7473 ARMY NURSECORPS. BE ALL YOU CAH BE. By ADAM C. WALSER Staff Writer Rock 'n' roll enthusiasts, bargain hunters and early Christmas shoppers alike can save some bucks while help ing out a good cause this week at the Rock rT Roll Dreams III sale at the Alpha Tau Omega House. National record companies have do nated more than 10,000 items to help raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill and the Magic of Music Foundation, two organizations that help children with serious illnesses. For sale are compact discs, CD singles, cassettes, LPs and posters, and all items sell for $2 or less. "The Ronald McDonald House is one of the most worthy causes out there," said David Kang, ATO community service project coordinator. "When we found out we could participate in such a popular and fun project while helping them out, we jumped at the opportunity." Barbara Myers, director of public relations for the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill, said she hopes this year's sale will be the biggest one ever. "We've been very successful with this project for the last two years," she said, "but this year we've got more than five times as much merchandise as we had in the past. There'll be a lot more variety, so we hope a lot more people will come out and find what they want." Some of the larger record companies that have donated merchandise for the sale include Arista, RCA Records, CBS Records, Island Records and MCA Records. ATO President Neil Feldman said he expected big crowds at the event. "It's going to take a lot of manpower to pull it off," he said, "but we hope that we can raise several thousand dollars in the sale." Last year, the sale raised more than $2,000 in the first five hours, Myers said. The sale runs from 1 1:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. today through Saturday. Artists included in the sale range from popular artists of the past to up-and-coming new acts. The Ronald. McDonald House of Chapel Hill provides lodging for fami lies whose children are being treated at the UNC Hospitals. Although the or ganization asks families to pay $8 per night for this, costs are actually more than $30 per night per family. The dif ference must be made up through do nations, Myers said. The Magic of Music, Inc. ships mu sic and posters donated by record com panies to terminally ill and handicapped children and fills special requests for autographs and visits from artists to these children, said Charles Morton Jr.. Magic of Music president. "It (the sale) has always been sup ported by the community, and we hope that we can help continue this tradit ion," Kang said. Wellstone second UNC alumnus elected to U.S. Senate By KAREN DIETRICH StaH Writer UNC alumnus Paul Wellstone was elected senator from Minnesota last Tuesday and will join Sen. Terry Sanford, D-NC, as the second UNC graduate in the U.S. Senate. By defeating Republican Rudy Boschwitz, Wellstone was the only candidate to beat an incumbent senator in this year's elections. "He came from as far behind as any candidate could," said Jim Schoop, Director of College Relations for Carleton College in Northfield, Min nesota. Wellstone has been teaching political science at Carleton College since 1969. Wellstone's was a "truly grassroots campaign," Schoop said. "A lot of Carleton students worked on his cam paign ... he traveled around the state in an old green school bus that broke down continually, but became a type of symbol of his campaign." Mark Anderson, press secretary for Wellstone, said: "His campaign was based on volunteers. He did not use the big TV approach." Wellstone's platform was considered extremely liberal, according to Schoop. "Some would call it radical," he said. "He's been a controversial figure here (at Carleton College)," Schoop said. "He has had a long history in activism on and off campus," he said. "There are those who feel he has neglected his teaching duties ... and that he manipu lates his students for his own causes, but he has a deep personal commitment and passion about issues concerning poor people and the powerless." Wellstone is concerned with the economic and social burdens on moth ers in the labor force, the lack of af fordable health care for over 30 million Americans, the problems of minorities, farmers, the poor and the basic unfair ness about income distribution, accord ing to UNC political science professor Joel Schwartz, who is also a personal friend and past teacher of Wellstone. He is strongly pro-choice, and favors environmental protection, increased spending on housing and drug treatment and a $250 billion cut in defense spending, Schoop said. "Paul has said since the election, that one of his major interests will be chil dren and education, particularly el ementary education," Schoop added. Wellstone supports the idea that "politics is about bettering people's lives," Schwartz said. "I think his is a voice which tries to summon America back to its basic in stincts ... and encourages us to be the country we want to be," Schwartz added. Wellstone, 46, entered UNC in 1 962 on a wrestling scholarship. He received a bachelor of arts degree in 1965 and his doctorate in political science in 1969. Wellstone was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate, received grants from the Na tional Institute of Mental Health and from the National Science Foundation, and was ACC wrestling champion in his weight division. Wellstone was "a good, serious stu dent who took his studies and responsi bility toward family and society seri ously," Schwartz said. "It was quite clear he was going to be a great teacher and make a significant impact on people who came across his path," Schwartz added. Anderson said, "He talked about his experiences at UNC a lot in his cam paign. He was active in civil rights movements on the local level. It had a profound impact on his outlook." mmmm mm ' ''4' ' ,sv"Z'' ii '., ' 9 1 I I I 1 I f r- OOF THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1990 I 9 MAKE A PLEDGE TO ABSTAIN PROM USING ANY FORM OF ALCOHOLIC DRINK OR ILLICIT DRUG FOR 24 HOURS. oooooooooooooooo I pledge not to drink any Alcoholic Drinks or use any Illicit Drugs for a period of 24 hours on November 15, 1990. mmm mm mm mmm mm mm mm mm mam mm mm mm amm mmm mm mmn mm mm mmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm i Sigaature Return to Bill Riddlck, Health Education Dept., CB 7470, Student Health Service.
