Elected officials from the Orange County Board of Commissioners, the Chapel Hill Town Council, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen and the Hillsborough Town Board shared ideas about manage ment options. Carrboro Mayor Mike Nelson said on behalf of the Board of Aldermen that they had unanimously voted to give the commissioners control of the budget as long as certain criteria were met. Those criteria include maintaining authority to approve tipping fees, which are tax money for garbage collection, adopting an integrated solid waste man agement plan, making sure that residents living near the current and future landfill are compensated and landfill worker ben efits are protected when the operation moves from Chapel Hill to the county. Chapel Hill Town Council members said they had voted 6-3 to approve an other option that would give the county control over the budget and allow an independent board to make policies. Several options exist for a previously discussed advisory board. One option is for the board to be composed of two members from each governing body. Another option uses two members from each board plus one member voted on by the Board of Commissioners and the Town Council. Asa third option, two members of each governing board plus one rotating DTH/JOHNKEDA Ross White, a senior English education major from San Mateo, Calif., reads at the Bull’s Head Bookshop for the literary journal Cellar Door.

Chancellor’s committee hears reports regarding Greek rush process BYBALKEESJARRAH STAFF WRITER The Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs discussed Wednesday whether to recommend deferred rush, which would substantially change the Greek system at UNC. The committee listened to a synopsis of different subcommittee reports regard ing the rush process and will present its final recommendation to Chancellor Colleges banning solicitation of credit cards on campuses BY ANDREW ROSE STAFF WRITER Each time students make purchases at UNC student stores, they find a credit card application in their bags. And al though at least one administrator said he felt uncomfortable with the advertising, Student Stores has not taken steps that other universities have done.

Hillsborough Mayor Horace Johnson said the Town Board shared the same concerns as Carrboro. “We don’t want to give up power,” he said. “We’re small players. We’d like to see (the specifics of the plan) in ink, so BULL'S HEAD BARD Michael Hooker on Dec. 11. “We have done a tremendous amount of work on this issue, and it is our job as a committee to offer alternatives and suggestions,” said Randy Cox, chairman of the committee. The historical subcommittee brought light to the fact that the University has dealt with the rush issue in past years, most recently in 1991 under Chancellor Paul Hardin. “It is wise to consider that we’ve dealt with it four times in the past versity, said, “We just didn’t want to get involved in the process of choosing or supporting a particular company. “It was not a university policy deci sion, just something we decided on that would best serve the students’ interests. Obviously the issue of student debts was considered. “Also, we had a few problems in the past with vendors hassling students, yell ing at them if they didn’t sign up, stuff like that,” he added. At UNC Student Stores, applications from Citibank as well as various other offers for phone cards and magazine sub scriptions are included in every bag. John Jones, director of Student Stores at UNC, said he didn’t like having credit card applications distributed with the bags. “Personally, I’m uncomfortable with it,” Jones said. “But it saves us $30,000 a year because the companies give us the bags. It’s really a substantial savings to us. The bags are given to us by a market ing firm that also distributes other items of interest to students." See CAMPUS CONNECTION, Page 11 NEWS that those impacted willbe treated fairly. ” All of the municipal boards expressed their desire to maintain power in deci sion making. Commissioner Steve Halkiotis ex pressed his concern that no one would relent power in the name of progress. “We’re missing the boat because we’re not willing to give up anything, ” he said. “Let’s just move on. If we don’t trust the county, let’s go home right now.” In an effort to reach a compromise between the conflicts of opinion about 34 years,” said Frederic Schroeder, dean of students. The survey subcommittee investigated other universities’ policies. It reported that most other institutions do not have deferred rush, and some even encourage year-round rush to attract more members to the Greek community. The same subcommittee also surveyed a random selection of 26 UNC faculty andcampusleaders.

New after care program targets middle schoolers BY STACEY TURNAGE STAFF WRITER Thanks to a grant given to various schQol systems on behalf of Gov.

Chapel Hill-Carrboro and Orange County.schools will receive a $65,000-a --year grant for the next three years to maintain an after-school program tar geted atmiddle schoolchildren, said Kim Hoke, Chapel Hill-Canboro City Schools spokeswoman. “This is designed to address the needs of children too old for day care but too young to stay home alone,” Hoke said, before adding that the program was part ofHunt’scrimepreventionprogram. “(It) is targeted for prevention by giving young adolescents a safe, productive alternative during after-school hours.” The program runs from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., which are the prime hours for ado lescents to experiment with drugs, alco- were in strong support of deferred rush, while most campus leaders felt it should not be an official University policy, but rather an individual choice on the part of students. “This gives me the impression that most faculty are generally not informed about the Greek system on the whole and form their opinions by what they read in papers,” said Joseph Dougherty, a senior from Ironia, N.J. and a subcommittee member. 2 ACROSS Thursday, November 14,1996 Stipends available for TAs ■ Those interested in the SI,OOO award must turn in an application by Dec. 2. BY TRAVIS MILLER STAFF WRITER Graduate-student teaching assistants have the opportunity to earn SI,OOO sti pends based on proposals to incorporate the use of communication and informa tion technology within their classrooms next semester. All teaching fellows, teaching associ ates and instructional assistants are eli gible for the Supplemental Awards for Graduate Teaching Assistants, said Sandra Hoeflich, assistant dean for fel lowships at the Graduate School. Enough money has been allocated to provide stipends for up to 100 students. The Academic Enhancement Fund will pay for the stipends, said Paul Ilecki, assistant dean for academic and student affairs in the Graduate School. “A portion of these funds were ear marked by the chancellor to introduce new information and communication technology in the classroom,” Ilecki said. One purpose of the stipend is to ben efit students, Decki said.

Frank Camp, site directorfor Culbreth Middle School, said he felt the program not only had a positive impact on the children academically but was also a benefit to families. See PROGRAM, Page 11 The finance subcommittee looked at the house costs of five fraternities and three sororities over the past year and divided them into fixed and variable costs. It came to the conclusion that deferred rush was not advisable in terms of these finances. Howard Brubaker, director of the Stu dent Activities Fund Office, said, “It would be somewhat of a grim situation for the houses if we were to defer rush for one year or even one semester.” 3
