Changes for next year include more stringent enforcement of South Campus visitor lots. Young said visitor lots had been overcrowded because of employees parking in these areas, which are closer to their offices. Young said 14,389 spaces were avail able on campus for the 1995-96 school year. Employees were allotted 10,827 and students were allotted 3,562.

The treasurer would continue to work with the Student Activities Fund Office, Dervin said. Nelson said next year there would be only one student body secretary. Nelson said his chief of staff would be juniorChristinaßeynolds.Reynolds could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Nelson said the chief of staff would work with committee heads and the secre tary. The secretary would act as the office manager, he said. “The secretary will work to bring stu dent archives and old student government records on-line,” Dervin said. Federation, the Honor Court, and the at torney general’s staff have offices inside Suite D. Chief officers in those organiza tions also have personal keys. Desk attendants have been able to find records dating back to last December, but the key list which would have included Feb. 14andFeb. 15, the day of the election and the day after, when Oliver discovered the stolen copies, were missing. Curtis said he had not investigated and could take no action unless it was deter mined that a student organization orches trated the theft. Young said students would still have access to about the same number of per mits during the 1996-97 school year. “The allotment from our point of view is unaffected,” Young said. Young also said the fee for illegally usingalost, stolen or counterfeit permit tag would quadruple. He said the current fee is SSO but the fee would jump to S2OO for the 1996-97 school year. “We are not penalizing the victims; we are penalizing the peipetrators,” Young said.

Heflin said the town would not collect trash from a dumpster if cardboard was found in that trash bin. Corrugated card board is a heavier grade of cardboard and takes up more landfill space. The ban is intended to increase the life expectancy of the landfill. Heflin said the town had collected most of the trash from the 116 sites. “We’re down to approximately 20 bins from last week,” Heflin said. The University took a much different stance and violated the ban daily rather than allowing campus trash to build up, said James MacFarquhar, associate direc tor of building and grounds. “We could not tolerate the situation that would result from not picking up the garbage,” MacFarquhar said. “We are tracking the amount of the fines... and are leaving our options open at this point.” Town Manager Cal Horton said the fines would continue to be paid for by town taxes. Apartments and private businesses have been targeted in the early stages be cause they are among the largest contribu tors of corrugated cardboard to the landfill. Wanda Wheeler, manager of Kensington Trace Apartments, said apart ment managers had no real way to enforce the ban. “The public needs to be more educated before they penalize multi-fam ily complexes,” Wheeler said. Horton said the responsibility for en forcing the ban belonged to the property owners. “In the end the property owners are responsible for providing the proper receptacles for the disposal.” ROMANO’S PIZZA KITCHEN Fast, Free Delivery , 929-5005 Dtmaerl Fettuccinf.

Hillel, the Foundation for Jewish Cam pus Life, is sponsoring the second annual Jewish Awareness Month, which began March 11 and will continue through March 23. The University is one of several schools throughout the country celebrating Jewish Awareness Month. Darin Diner, Hillel’s interim director, said the national office organized the indi vidual programs of schools throughout the country into one big national event. Diner said the purpose of the celebration was to highlight the offerings of Judaism to stu dents and to educate non-Jews. Diner stressed a need to make the small number of Jewish students feel like they belong to the University community. “It becomes even more important for those students that are Jewish on this campus to be able to reach out and become a part of the community,” Diner said. Elisheva Ende, president of the Chapel Hill-UNC Hillel, said the programs were planned by the N.C. Hillel. Ende said March was picked as the month for JAM because of the spring weather. Events planned for the celebration in clude improvisation at Comedy Sportz, a free showing of the film “Crossing Delancey ” in the Union film auditorium, a drive to make sandwiches for a local home less shelter and a shabbat to inform people about Judaism. There will also be a special exhibit in the Carolina Union Gallery cel ebrating 3000 years of Jerusalem. Both Diner and Ende have high hopes for the celebration. “I hope that JAM will be a chance for every student and member of the Univer sity community, both Jewish and non- Jewish, to realize the exciting, dynamic program that the Jewish community has to offer,” Diner said. Endesaid, “Ijust want them (people) to know that Hillel is out there and to know what kind of things that we offer, and for Jews to celebrate their Jewishness and for non-J ews to become aware of what J ewish culture and Jewish religion is about.” For more information, call 9424057.
