The Chapel Hill Town Board passed legislation a few years ago to set up the Chapel Hill-Carrboro-UNC Transportation Commission, headed by Terry Lathrop, to study the problems of transportation. A study was done on campus and in Sen. William Saunders Greek Week .Frat i - -s. v '. -o. - so-- ?.et .OiVtt. m rv - by Susan Spence Staff Writer Greek Week, sponsored by the Inter Fraternity Council (IFC), will be held through Thursday as a part of the Campus Chest drive. Tommy Watkins, IFC Greek Week chairman, announced that, a community cleanup, the Greek Games and a chariot race which will rival the days of Ben Hur are the highlights of this week of competition between fraternity pledge classes. Pledge classes are awarded points for winning or participation in an event, which are totaled at the end of the week. This year two Arthur J. Beaumont trophies, originated by Chief of Campus Security Arthur J. Beaumont, will be presented to the "best pledge class," or the class with the greatest number of points. Judging will be separate for large and small houses. ' The pledge classes will participate today in a community cleanup from 12:30 until 5 p.m. in the lot adjacent to the Community Center on North Roberson Street. The lot was obtained in cooperation with J.R. Manly of First Baptist Church. "We hope the lot will become part of the recreation center's playground in the future," Watkins said. Each class is expected to work at least one hour. Tuesday night at 7:30 in Woollen Gym, the pledges will demonstrate their athletic prowess by participation in the Greek Games. There will be individual and team efforts as they compete in the shuttle relays, the Up-Down relay, and the traditional tug-of-war. Each house will supply one brother to make up a panel of judges for the event. The Games are open to the entire student body, and all are welcome to attend. The Campus Chest Carnival on Thursday night will mark the end of Greek Week. Approximately 50 different booths will be set up on Ehringhaus field for the annual fund-raising event. The booths will include a "Name That Tune" booth by the Pep Band, a "Pop The Budman" by Kappa Psi, and the Phi ' A W -V .

Even though final results from the study will not be available until June, there is already a potential for 1,428 community passengers and 1,956 student passengers daily. Lee Corum, a UNC student who is a member of the Advisory Committee to the Commission, said the group had originally hoped to come to the public with a referendum for a bus system in the general elections this year, "but we need to make sure we do our analyzing and Saunders by Ellen Gilliam Staff Writer Senator William P. (Bill) Saunders, candidate for reelection to the North Carolina State Senate from the 16th District, told the DTH his main area of concern in North Carolina politics is education. The 73-year-old incumbent is running for his fourth term in the State Senate. He will be opposing Carl M. Smith and A.B. Coleman on the Democratic ticket in the May 6 primary. Two will be nominated. A retired textile executive, Saunders likened increasing teachers' salaries to paying any good employee better wages. "After working in textiles for 30 years, I've found if you pay an employee well, pledges i c 1 9" studying throughly before we go before the community with our plans." The Transportation Commission will begin the study of alternative transit plans in June, and will submit three plans to the Board of Aldermen in August for final study. Corurn said the group hopes for a referendum in September "when the community is back together after the summer. "It is part of the responsibility of the consultants to present three alternative plans from which a final plan may be chosen, he said. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., professional engineers seeking reelectio he will give better service," he said. "If you pay teachers better, they will give better service, too. "Since 70 percent of the tax dollar in North Carolina goes for education, we should be able to pay teachers better and then work up from there to put in better courses and other innovations like kindergartens," he said. Saunders indicated he is also interested in problems of the environment, mental health, welfare, care for the aged and child care. North Carolina's SI 50 billion water pollution bill will not necessarily be sufficient to take care of the future, he said. Saunders, a resident of Moore County, attended UNC and has served on the UNC Board of Trustees since 1951. He served comioeiDe B a Sigma Kappa dunking booth. Beta Tneta Pi's "Beta Vegas" and Alpha Delta Pi's blackjack will be among the gambling booths available. The Carnival wiU open at 6 p.m. with the Ugly Man parade, featuring contestants in the Ugly Man, Queen, and Beauty and the Beast contests. The chariot race, annual highlight of the Carnival, will be held at 1 1 p.m. Twenty-four fraternities are expected to enter the race with chariots built and manned ' by their pledge classes. Between the parade and the chariot race, there will be a multitude of diversions for funseekers. The Sigma Nu's will hold a beer can ring toss, and Lambda Chi Alpha's booth will feature a zodiac wheel. Carnival-goers can vent their frustrations at the Chi Phi - Pi Beta Phi pie throw or at the Phi Delta Chi egg throw. There will also be a great variety of food booths for the hungry. Door prize tickets for the drawing on the field at 9 p.m. are now on sale by sororities, fraternities and residence colleges for 25 cents. Tickets may also be purchased on the field until the time of the drawing. Winners do not have to be present at the time of the drawing. The larger prizes include an 8-track stereo system, a man's bicycle and a woman's bicycle, for the first male and female tickets drawn, and a toaster oven. Other prizes include a basketball signed by the Tar Heels and an AM-FM clock radio. There will be a regular betting system on the chariot race again this year. Any money lost through betting will go to the Campus Chest fund. Last year, Campus Chest contributed S9,000 to local charities. Watkins said that, "Although the fraternities are earning most of the money for Campus Chest, the organizational aspect is due to the manpower of Alpha Phi Omega and the Campus Chest chairman, Hoyt Bangs." claim UPI-The Soiith Vietnamese chime J their first major victories agair.t the Communits offensive in a pair of tank battles on the norther front Sunday, bur North Vietnamese forces drove government troops out of four bases and intensified the fighting near Saigon. Five Americans were killed and others wounded in Communist attacks on tw7o U.S. positions, and a Marine pilot was listed as missing after his plane crashed en route to Vietnam. The U.S. command said American warplanes flew 360 missions m South Vietnam and an undisclosed number of strikes into North Vietnam. The entire fleet of about "5 B52's hammered Communist troops in the south to try to stop the North Vietnamese drive. The command said a B52 was damaged by a North Vietnamese surface-to-air missile (SAM) on a bombing raid over the south, but none of the six crewmen was injured and the plane landed safely at Da Nang. It was the first confirmed SAM transit trom Raleigh. are consultants for ths study. An advisory committee made up ot students and members of the community performed the study and will go before the commission to present the needs of the community. Corum said the commission has the power by law to operate a bus system, '"but it doesn't have the right to use city funds. The referendum would be called to provide the funds. "We would like to get the towns and the University working together on the bus system, instead of having one or the as director of the Department of Conservation and Development and was a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee. While in the State Senate, he voted in favor of the 18-year-old vote and against deconsolidation of UNC. "It was my opinion the University system in North Carolina made a name for itself in the United States and other parts of the world partly because of the consolidation of the six universities." he said. "But now that we have the Board of Governors, we have to make the University system work better than ever." Saunders said another area of interest to him is no-fault auto insurance for North Carolina. He would be in favor of it if it would improve the situation for the auto owner.

Corum said. "For example, if the University were to set up a fringe parking lot on Airport Road and the town provide a bus system to transport students to campus, we could get together to work on a common problem." The Transportation Commission is funded by a $29,000 grant from the Federal Department of Transportation to do a professional study. Corum said if the government approves of the bus plan chosen by the Town Board in August, it will pay for two-thirds of the costs of capital improvement, namely the cost of the buses and maintenance. Polluting factors and expense of buses are other factors which must be considered. "Instead of 30 cars, you can have one bus," Corum said. "The bus may cost more, but if it is full, you are reducing pollution." In April of 1970, a bus system ran for five weeks but had to be discontinued because "the commission ran out of money. The revenues were not paying for the costs of running it. One problem was there was no time to educate the community about prices, routes, etc.," Corum said. Presently, UNC is being serviced by a bus company in Raleigh. The buses make daily trips to the hospital, downtown, South Campus and the undergraduate library. "The parking and traffic problems can't be solved by any one plan, or any one person." Corum said. "It will take the united effort of both towns and the University, and they must be conscious of each other's problems." is: un pennies, was contributed to the Campus of Pennies.'
