International Student Orientation applica tions are available at the International Police, seniors team up to protect elderly consumers from con artists ■ One elderly Raleigh man lost $200,000 as the victim of a local scam artist. BY REYNOLDS RICHTER STAFF WRITER Senior citizens and police officers have joined hands in an effort to put an end to fraud in Chapel Hill. In following weeks Seniors and Law Enforcement Together and the Chapel Hill Police Department will issue to the public scam alerts, which will highlight common types of fraud. One of the central goals of the cam paign is to educate senior citizens about types of fraud, said Art Englebardt, chairman of SALT. The police department will help com pile information on current scams and hand out the alerts at the police station, while SALT members will distribute the releases to senior centers. “It’s a project that we support,” said crime prevention officer Jeff Clark. “But Council to discuss funding for public housing BYSEJALVORA STAFF WRITER In a second public forum and hearing tonight, the mayor and the Chapel Hill Town Council plan to discuss how com munity grant money should be spent on public housing projects. Council members will hear the pub lic’s comments on specific issues includ ing town services, projects and uses for both a comprehensive and a community development grant. Council member Joe Capowski said last year’s budget for town services was approximately $43 million and that this year it should be slightly higher. “The money provides for various ser vices to the town of Chapel Hill,” Capowski said. “The bulk of the ser vices go from year to year basic things like garbage and transportation.” Regarding the comprehensive grant, Capowski said that in the past it was mainly used to make improvements to the 336 existing public-housing units in RALLY FROM PAGE 1 Holy Church in Raleigh. “I think what’s going to happen is that we are going to be looking at other cases (of injustices), which will be scru- Yoguri is oar me?*a!

Criminals often knock on senior citi zens’ doors and offer to repair their houses at an attractive price, he said. The repairs are usually cosmetic and the con artists will claim to find other prob lems that demand repair. “There’s a guy out in Raleigh that got hit for $200,000 on his house,” Englebardt said. ' Other common scams against senior citizens include fake lotteries, phone sales and mail-order products, he said. Senior citizens are susceptible to Chapel Hill. Improvements included removing asbestos and lead based paints, planting new trees and shrubs and providing infor mation on home ownership man agement. “The grant is a five-year plan using community grants and com munity develop ment funds,” he said. Council member JUUE ANDRESEN said one of the problems with federal housing grants was deciding who would receive the funding. Capowski said the source of this year’s estimated $2.55 million budget was the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD is a federal program designed to provide housing for lower-income fam ilies and to help improve neighborhoods in economic need. tinized, and some of them will be changed. But it’s going to be an uphill battle,” Stancil said. It will be a battle that calls for future changes but will rely on historic inspira tion. “(April 4) is significant because we REDISTRICTING FROM PAGE 1 If the legislature cannot pass a redis tricting agreement, the district will be redrawn by the federal court. Some lawmakers said they doubted they could overcome political differ ences and redraw the 12 th district with in the time allotted to them by the fed eral court. Any new district plan would have to pass both the House, which is controlled by Republicans, and the Senate, which is controlled by Democrats. Rep. Walter Church, D-Burke, said he was hopeful that some kind of agree ment could be reached. “I’m not sure if there is going to be a joint committee between the Senate and House or not,” Church said. “I think the House and Senate can agree on redrawing the 12th district without asking the the three federal judges.” Sen. Walter Dalton, D-Rutherford, said he also believed the General Assembly would work out anew agree ment. “The general attitude of both parties is that we prefer to control our own des tinies,” Dalton said. “With that in mind, I hope we can come to a decision about the 12th District.” 2V Daily (Ear Hrri Admission is $4 for students ana $6 for the public.

The deadline is Thursday, April 9. fraud for many reasons, Englebardt said, including loneliness. “First of all, (senior citizens) are lone- ’ ly,” he said. “They have time to talk oh _ the phone, and they have time to read ■ the mail.” Joseph Bowling, president of the Better Business Bureau of Chapel Hill, said elderly consumers are particularly at risk because they are seen as having money, being at home often and might have difficulty saying no to persistent - salesmen. “Elderly consumers are particularly vulnerable and gullible for those who ' are doing business by phone,” he said. ’ Bowling said, though, that elderly people were not the only possible vie- ■ tims of scams. Young people are also vulnerable to scams, he said, especially . travel scams, work-at-home scams and mail-order scams. But every instance of fraud affects consumers’ trust in local merchants, Bowling said. “Every time there’s a victim among the consumers, the business person in Chapel Hill suffers.” “But the Chapel Hill housing depart ment decides what needs to be done in each of the neighborhoods,” Capowski said. The grant, also funded by HUD, is actually a block grant in which the money is given to the town without being previously allocated to certain pro grams by HUD, Capowski said. Council member Julie Andresen said one recurring problem the town had in allocating grant money was competition between neighborhoods for funds. “One problem the Northside neigh borhood is concerned with is wealthy people buying homes and then renting them out (instead of the homeowners actually becoming residents them selves),” Andresen said. Council member Joyce Brown also said it was difficult to decide which pro grams should receive funding. “It is always a big problem," Brown said. “There are always more requests for programs than we have money for.” are revisiting the struggle evaluating what we’ve done in the past, what we have not done and what we need to do,” Stancil said. “Dr. King was a champion for change, a champion for rights —and we should do the same.” EDITOR FROM PAGE t Wilkinson also ran for the position. “The general consensus of the com mittee was that the ideal editor would be a combination of the two candi dates," said Carol Adamson, a fresh man English major from Charlotte and a DTH staff member on the editor selection committee. “We felt Sharif had excellent news paper skills, while Leslie was an out standing people person,” she said. “It was a grueling process. I could have been happy with either candidate.” DTH Editor Erica Beshears said she was pleased with how the selection process occurred. “There will be a lot of transition in the next few weeks,” she said. The committee consisted of 11 mem bers. The three DTH representatives were city editor Rob Nelson, assistant university editor Ashley Stephenson and Adamson. The eight at-large mem bers were Amy Cappiello, Delvin Davis, Laura Kathryne Love, Matt McCollum, Ajay Ojha, David Ruddell, Kimberly Ryneska and India Williams. Stephenson, a sophomore journalism and mass communication major from Charlotte, said, “It was a difficult deci sion, but one that will bring the news paper to anew level.” r7Tans !
