N.E.. SUITE S2B. ATLANTA. GEORGIA 30326 said the proposals were not new legisla tion, but modifications to existing statutes. Horton said the first resolution would make the council the chief review body for businesses seeking Alcohol Beverage Con trol Commission permits. “A state administered permit to sell al coholic beverages would initially be re quired for any business to operate, ” Horton said. According to a state statute, when the ABC Commission receives an application for a permit, the commission is required by law to ask the local government to fill out a review form. The review form gave input on the busi ness’ location and the people involved, stages and Kroger has not yet made any proposals or propositions to the council, said Chris Bemdt, Long Range Planning Coordinator for the town of Chapel Hill. Residents are raising questions and ar guing that the Eastgate area is congested enough without any added traffic the store will bring. The planing board sympathized with neighbors at a recent board meeting. Bemdt said the board was getting ready to begin phase two of a corridor study, which will examine the Eastgate area for commercial development. “The second phase of the study will be evaluating everything from Elliot Road to FRIDAY 9 a.m. YEARBOOK portraits are now being taken.

The review forms are currently automatically sent to the Chapel Hill Po lice Department. The proposal suggested delegating the review process to the council rather than the police, Gale said. Gale said the ABC might be more re ceptive to input from the council rather than the police. “(The police) felt the ABC Commission did not pay sufficient attention to the input of the Chapel Hill Police Department,” Gale said. The second resolution would give the council the authority to revoke or restrict the business licenses of establishments which violated state or town laws, Horton WCHL on East Franklin Street,” Bemdt said. Corridor studies enable the town to estimate potential growth and develop ment affecting zoning plans in the future. In a preliminary draft, the planning board said it wanted to maintain the vil lage-like atmosphere that currently sur rounds Eastgate shopping center. Bemdt said that neighbors have been complaining that there are already three grocery stores in the area, and an additional supermarket like Kroger would add to present traffic problems. The board was given a report suggesting that further commercial development would constitute as much as a 5,270 car Campus Calendar dinner from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Cutting Board cafeteria in Lenoir on Saturday.

Gale said the town code contained an ordinance that has been on the books since 1961, which says that the council can de termine if a town business licensee is vio lating state or town laws. Under the ordinance, the council could call a hearing to uncover sufficient viola tions for the town to revoke or place limits upon the licenses of guilty businesses, she said. “To my knowledge, this (ordinance) has never been utilized,” Gale said. Horton said that as opposed to the first proposal, the state would not be involved in the distribution of the town’s annual business licenses. increase in a daily traffic, planning board members said. Frank Feairington, a resident of East Franklin Street, said that although traffic may increase, he thought revenue for the town was more important. “I don’t have a problem with anew Kroger,” he said. “I think Chapel Hill needs all of the tax benefits it can get.” Bemdt said planning board members agreed the Eastgate area should avoid any big commercial developments. “We are considering recommending to the Town Council a combination of office and residential plans, with limited com mercial development,” Bemdt said. COURSEPACK FROM PAGE 1 fore the case is completely settled. John Jones, director of UNC Student Stores, called the verdict “detrimental to the textbook industry” and said the pre vailing view in the book industry was that the ruling would be overturned. Jones pre dicted that if the case became law, it would not lead to a drastic increase in the number of existing coursepacks. Currently, about 300 different coursepacks are produced by Student Stores, and Copytronproduces for 350 course sections. If the case sets a national precedent, Jones said professors might include more materials in their coursepacks because they now tend to shy away from copyrighted materials that drive up the cost of a coursepack. Currently, each reproduced page typically costs 5.5 to 6 cents in royal ties. According to Smith, 90 percent of college textbooks are under the dominion of the Association of American Publish ers, the trade association that aided the publishers who filed the suit. The publishing industry does plan to ask for another hearing of the case. Al though only a small percentage of requests are heard, eventually the case could make its way up to the Supreme Court.“( The current) Supreme Court has shown an in terest in copyright law, ” Ross said. He said the Supreme Court had become involved because of the many possible infringements concerning the Internet and computer-re lated copyrights.

Town staff would give the town ALE, police and fire inspection reports from pro spective licensees, he said. Chapel Hill bar owners oppose the stricter proposals, and one manager said underage drinkers get off too easily and suggested stricter underage penalties. Mark Burnett, manager of He’s Not Here said, “I don’t think Chapel Hill is any different from any other college town.” “It seems like underage drinkers are just getting a slap on the the wrists,” Burnett said. Gale and Horton said the meeting pro duced positive results. The resolutions might be considered at the council’s April 2 business meeting, Horton said. MINORITIES FROM PAGE 1 four institutions, an average grant cov ered less than half of the tuition and re quired fees. Caroline Miller, associate vice chancel lorforenrollmentmanagementattheUNC- Asheville, said UNC-A had tried to make the greatest difference for students who received the grants. “We have found that it has to be closer to SI,OOO to make any difference here,” she said. In the 1994-95 school year, UNC-A used their $14,720 in minority presence grants to give out 32 grants l6 each semester averaging $920. Tuition and fees that semester at UNC-A were $769. Miller said that neither funding for mi nority presence grants or other sources of scholarship money had seen significant increases over the same period. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte uses a similar strategy in utiliz ing minority presence grants. In the 1994- 95 school year, UNC-C dispersed almost $97,000 in grantmoney through 136 grants. Sixty-two of those grants, given in the fall and spring, averaged SI,OOO meaning students who received a $ 1,000 grant in the fall semester actually had money left over after paying the $728 in tuition. Craig Fulton, director ofundergraduate admissions at UNC-C, said theschool used most of the grant money for first year students as a recruitment tool. Fulton said tuition costs forced the uni versity to make grants larger to be of ben efit. “I wish that we had more, but when the price tag is $6,000 a year SI,OOO prob ably makes a difference,” he said. Fulton said he had no statistics on how students fared after the first year and whether the financial impact of losing the one-time grants hindered their education. “These are all need based packages,” he said. “(After the first year) we try to make every effort to replace that money with funds from another source.” At NCSU, an average grant in the fall of 1994 was equal to about 53 percent of tuition and required fees that semester. Julie Rice Mallette, director of financial aid, said her department had found the grants were most effective if they could be dispersed to as many people as possible while still taking a bite out of tuition bills. “We try to make it go as far as possible," she said. not to forget where they came from, stat ing, “When you know your history you just laugh at ignorance.” In the question and answer session which followed his speech, Ture voiced his ap proval of the Million Man March and attacked the United States for its embar goes of Cuba and Libya. A discussion group on Ture’s speech will be held today at the Sonja H. Stone Black Cultural Center from 12 to 1 p.m. The Yogurt Pump has gone Come try our delicious nonfat flavors...

Sally Ear Heel Land Tracts Topic of Forums ■ A planning firm held two forums Thursday to discuss the Horace Williams and Mason Farm tracts. BYPETEKAVADLO AND NICK DONOVAN STAFF WRITERS Johnson, Johnson and Roy, Inc., the land use consulting firm hired to consider University expansion into the Mason Farm and Horace Williams tracts, gave Univer sity students and the town councils of Chapel Hill and Carrboro opportunities to respond to the firm’s proposals in two meetings on Thursday. The firm outlined two proposals for use of the Mason Farm and three for the Horace Williams tract. During the meetings, members of the town council and the University commu nity said they were concerned about pre serving portions of the land in its natural state. “Mostly we’re here for input from the campus at large,” said Dick Rigterink, project manager for the firm at the meeting for the University community held Thurs day afternoon. “We’re looking at different combina tions of uses in different locations,” Rigterink said. The major concern expressed at the University forum was about the buffer zone between development and the area’s bio logical resources. Several people who attended the forum expressed their fear that the N.C. Botani cal Garden would be intruded upon. Rigterink said this was not likely be cause the Botanical Garden is one of the areas marked as “prior committed,” and therefore would probably be left alone by construction. Much of the Mason F arm tract has been reserved by the University for biological research or cannot be developed because of flood plain restrictions. UNC economics professor Rachel Willis, who attended JJR’s forum for the town council on Thursday night, said that the University and Chapel Hill should co operate on construction of infrastructure within the land tracts. “We would like computer models of any of the firm’s proposed areas of con struction,” she said. The two primary concerns for the town councils were in regard to buffer zones around neighborhoods that border pos sible construction sites and methods for reducing automobile traffic to areas of fu ture building sites. “It’s a long-range plan,” Rigterink said at the University forum. “It needs to be flexible, and it needs to create a good framework for future deci sions, because the University has not iden tified all the requirements for Horace Wil liams. “This project may not be developed for 20,40, 50 years out.” These were the third of six planned visits by the firm to UNC, the first of which was Nov. 30 of last year. The development of the plan is a 17- month process involving input from the University community, local governments and the public. The Horace Williams and Mason Farm tracts are the last University-owned prop erties near the central campus that can be developed. The Horace Williams tract is 972 acres, and lies about two miles north of the cen tral campus. It contains the UNC airport and several University support facilities, including the Physical Plant. The Mason Farm tract is located south and southeast of the campus and includes the Finley Golf Course, the William and Ida Friday Continuing Education Center, the tennis center and a park-and-ride lot.
