The City of Winston-Salem has appointed
Betty Jean Hanes as the first director of its
Minority/Women’s Business Enterprise pro
gram (WWBE). She assumes her new respon
sibilities March 28.
IThe Board of Aldermen developed the
M/WBE program in 1983 to help companies
that are at least 51 percent owned by minori
ties or wcmen compete for contracts of goods
and services let by the city.
Since the program began, the city-county
.‘,P»TOhasing Department has played a role in
i||tfininistering it However, to give the program
' more emphasis and to allow for increases in
Taunority- and women-owned companies, the
• aWermen voted in the fall of 1987 to hire a
director and to set up a permanent NVWBE
; citizens' advisory committee.
The director will identify minority- and
women-ertvned companies and provide tech
nical assistance such as training sessions on
how to bid for city contracts. The director
will reptMt to Assistant City Manager Alexan
der R. Beaty.

tion. She was previously vice president and

Security Council calls
for S. African sanctions
By VICTORIA GRAHAM
Associated Press Writer
UNITED NATIONS - A Security
Council draft resolution circulated Mon
day calls for mandatory economic sanc
tions, including an oil embargo, against
South Africa to force the government to
abolish apartheid within a year.
The draft resolution, to be dis
cussed when the council meets Titesday,
expresses outrage at the banning of anti-
apartheid activities and concern for the
“worsening of the human suffering
resulting from the apartheid system" of
racial segregation.
The resolution says South Africa’s
intransigence "compels the internation
al community to impose, as a first step,
selective mandatory sanctions."
Under South Africa's system of
apartheid, the 26 million blxks have no
voice in national affairs and the 5 million
whites control the economy and main
tain separate schools and districts.
The resolution, circulated after
three days of debatb, calls for a halt to
export and sale of oil to South Africa; an
end to further investment and loans; a
ban on imports of iron and steel; a halt of
all trade promotion and support for trade;
prohibition of sale of Kruggerands and
all coins minted in South Africa; and
cessation of all forms of mOitary, policy
or intelligence cooperation, especially
the sale of computer equipment
South African U.N. Ambassador
Leslie Manley told the Security Connbil
last Thursday, “We will not bow to your
threats of demands and we reject your
accusations with cemtempt and invite you
to do your damnedest"
The resolution calls for all U.N.
members to back the sanctions and
report progress to the secretary-geno-al.
It establishes a Security Council com
mittee to monitor implementation.
Security Council resolutions can
be vetoed by any one of its permanent
members _ the United States, Great
Britain, China, France and the Soviet
Union. The Council and the UJ4. Gener
al Assembly have condemned South
Africa in the past, but the United States
and other countries have opposed sanc
tions.
The resolution says the sanctions
would remain in force for one year, after
which the council again will meet to

Aldermen hire consultant to study coliseum
By ANGELA WRIGHT
Chronicle Managing Editor
In response to a public outcry
ctMlceming the doubling of the cost
fw the annex to the new Lawrence
Joel Coliseum, the Board of Alder-
mwi Monday voted to hire an inde
pendent consultant to study the old
coliseum building and determine
whether it can be renovated.
Ronald R. Morgan, a Charlotte
architect who was involved in die
initial study of the coliseun1"in
1983, has been retained by the city
on an hourly basis. He is to give a
general report to the board at their
first meeting in April.
In 1985 the voters approved a
referendum for a $3.95 million
annex to the new coliseum. But
early last month city officials pre
sented the board with plans for a
structure which would cost $8.35
million.
The board's Finance and Pub
lic Works Committees approved
the new design then, but the
Finance Committee asked city offi
cials to find ways to cut the costs.
Alderman Martha S. Wood
challenged city officials, however,
insisting that voter trust was at
stake and that city officials had an
obligation to build the annex under
the original guidelines approved by
the voters.
At Monday's meeting Aider-
man Lynne S. Harpe offered a
motion to hire Morgan to study the
existing structure, saying there had
been "considerable citizen reaction
to the increase in cost"
Other aldermen also said they
had been contacted by their con
stituents concerning the costs for
the new design.
"I too have received a number
of calls from citizens I have the
utmost respect fw, asking that we
try to preserve the existing struc
ture and save tax dollars," said
Alderman Virginia K. Newell. "I
would like to assure our citizens
that we have exhausted all possi-

Beaty explains grievance process

Assistant City Manager
Alexander R. Beaty clarified citi
zen complaint processing proce
dures Monday saying, "Our posi
tion is to provide as much informa
tion as we can to the public
through the media -- print and
electronic.''
Beaty's comments came in
re^nse to a story in last week's
Chronicle concerning the need for
city officials to elaborate on
.• grievance procedures for citizens
" who have complaints of police
y misconduct.
Beaty said citizen complaints
against any city department are
handled in the same manner. He
said the citizen must first file a
complaint with the city. The city
then refers the complaint to the
head of the involved department
for investigation and review.
In the case of police miscon
duct complaints, the Internal
Affairs division of the police
department conducts the investiga
tion, said Beaty. He said that the
Internal Affairs division would
automatically investigate any case
of injury to a citizen or an officCT.
After the internal affairs offi
cer completes his report, the matter
is then turned over to the police
chief who decides how to resolve
the matter. The police chief (or
