2 Friday, October 13,1995 DTH Forum to Bring Candidates to Campus BYEMUYB. NEWELL STAFF WRITER Students will get the chance to go head to-head with Canboro candidates in a fo rum designed to promote open communi cation between student voters and town politicians. The Daily Tar Heel Elections Forum will be held in the Union Audito rium on Sunday at 7 p.m. “We are hosting the forum in order to stimulate student interest in local issues,” said DTH Editor Thanassis Cambanis. Cambanis said the forum was an impor tant resource for the large portion of off campus students who live in Carrboro. Carrboro Mayoral candidate Randy Marshall said he planned to direct discus sions to student issues. “Students are a significant constituency in Carrboro,” Marshall said. Marshall said he would focus on trans portation and public consumption of alco hol. “Students can elect people who listen to their concerns,” he said. The forum’s format will follow an open—mike format after moderator Jen Fiumara, opens with a series of questions to begin the discussion. The audience can also ask questions of specific candidates or the group. Student Body President Calvin Cunningham encouraged students to take advantage of the chance for open commu nication between the students and candi dates. “This is a valuable opportunity for can didates to air their views—particularly on FACULTY COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1 self-study conducted last year. Farel said the committee had been working on the principles before the self-study was con ducted. The principles state that all salary deci sions should be based on open, publicly stated criteria and salaries should be merit based. The executive conimittee also has pro posed that the faculty should preview the criteria and administrators should allocate resources to salaries based on merit. “If those are approved then the execu tive committee will impose guidelines on “A Year Abroad Can Change Your Life” Come and find out about UNC Year at Montpellier!!

Collins said student involvement in elec tions was important because students were more than just short-term citizens. “Stu dent issues that are important will be im portant for future students and students that decide to settle in the Carrboro area," Collins said. Charles Rigsbee, another Carrboro mayoral candidate, said students who live in Carrboro had an important influence, if they exercised their right to vote. “If stu dents are registered to vote in Canboro, they should exert their responsibility of voting in that there is a responsibility to weigh the issues prior to casting their bal- how to implement those principles,” said Interim Provost Richard Richardson. Richardson said faculty members had been saying salaries should be based on consultation with faculty. Brown said the council was beginning to ask faculty how salaries should be dis tributed. “We would like to proceed with these principles," she said. “There’s never been a University policy about how sala ries are distributed.” Farel said departments had different criteria, and he thought faculty members wanted them to be open. He said the prin ciples would allow for fairness in the distri bution of salary resources throughout de partments, he said.

BY MARK SWEET STAFF WRITER School officials say that use of the drug Ritalin, an amphetamine used to treat At tention Deficit Disorder, is on the rise among studentswanting to get high. Several instances of Ritalin abuse at Chapel Hill High School have been docu mented this year, and two instances at Culbreth Middle Schoollastyear prompted officials to treat this situation as a sub stance abuse problem. Student Don’t Have to Walk to Franklin for Pepper’s BYDAVIDSIMONEAUX STAFF WRITER Pepper’s Pizza, knownmoreforits eclec tic style and atmosphere rather than its pizza, opened a separate delivery service in Carrboro last week for people who love the food. Owner Erwin Shatzen said he had thought about delivery service in the past, but nothing really happened until he found an idle commercial kitchen sitting in Carrboro. “We have never done delivery in the past because we were blessed to be very busy,” he said. Shatzen said his pizza service had the potential to survive, because he had checked around with the other pizza deliveries in town to see what was “out there." “We are proud of the quality food we make, such as whole pies and calzones, and I think currently you can’t get all of that delivered to your home,” he said. Shatzen said since most people ordered slices at lunch rather than whole pizzas, the new Pepper’s Delivery is open seven days a week from 4 p.m. to midnight, skipping the lunch hours. “We had to start somewhere,” Shatzen said. “We just opted to start with the eve nings.” However, Shatzen said there was a pos sibility of lunch delivery in the future. As of now, Pepper’s Pizza has not jumped on the advertising campaign, but has relied mainly on off-campus students and year-round residents for their busi- FRIDAY CUAB presents “Dumb and Dumber” at 4 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 9 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Admission is $2.

This self-medication results in potential distribution of the drugto students without any disorders. I'jßSlilefa. iwWk' . iiftk&rey •>.' ' .

Client-Focused Terry Stewart, a teacher at Seawell El ementary School, has two daughters with ADD. “The problem is that it can some times be a long trip out of the way to the nurse’s office for a student to take the drugs,” Stewart said. “So a lot of students take file drugs themselves. At this point, the students can illegally pass around or evenbeheldupforthe drugs.” Stewart said evenherhighschool daughter had encoun tered students looking to use the drug to get highbefore. “While protections are in place formiddle and elementary school students, drugs such as Ritalin are much more in danger of being abused in high schools,” she said.
