A recent town bicycle ordinance calling
for stricter' safety regulations could result
in traffic tickets for many bike riders.
Beginning Monday, Chapel Hill police
will issue warnings for a two-week period
to bike riders who violate ordinance
regulations. After the two-week period,
police will issue traffic tickets.
"It's not really a crackdown by us, it's
just that we have to enforce the
stipulations set up by the new ordinance,"
Ralph Pendergraph, Chapel Hill crime
prevention officer, said. "I can't see an of
ficer giving a ticket unless it's for
something really bad."
The new ordinance was approved
mostly to accomodate bike lanes, paths
and trails now under construction, which
should be completed by spring next year.
Under the ordinace, it is mandatory
that all bicycle owners register their bikes
and pay a registration fee of 50 cents.
According to Pendergraph, this in
cludes University students. For the past
two years the town has required registra
tion for town residents, which didn't
necessarily include students. As a result,
police expect a large increase in the
number of bicycles registered. They
predict that as many as 7,000 bike owners
will register. Approximately 4,500, have
registered during the last two years.
"If you are stopped by an officer, you
will be given warning to register within a
4 - iiiiinnirnttiifl
O ' '
week," Pendergraph said. "Failure to do
this may result in being ticketed which
would carry with at a $10 fine plus court
costs."
Pendergraph said there are plans to
schedule on-campus bike registration for
students. However, . the onfampus
sessions may not begin untiL December,
because the town must receive new
registration forms first.
. Other regulations established by the
new ordinance include:
Riding single file.
Keeping to the right except when
passing. ' , i .
Obeying all traffic control signs and
signals. . '
Giving audible warning before pass
ing a pedestrian.
Not riding on the sidewalk on either
side of Franklin Street or Rosemary
Street from Henderson Street to Colum
bia Street.
Using bike lanes or paths gives right
of way over vehicles making turning
movements from parallel lands of the
roadway.
"The regulations of the ordinance can
work to everyone's advantage."
Pendergraph said. "In registering a bike it
puts an identification on the bike, so if it
is stolen it can be found more easily and
returned to the owner."
"It couldn't have come at a better time.
Lately, multiple bicycle thefts have been
increasing, and we have reason to believe
it might be the work of a bicycle theft
ring," he said.

H cr tsviilc, S.C., nuclear power plant
The audience was antagonistic. The speakers were openly
divided, often disagreeing with the opinions of their co-panelists.
The issue was nuclear energy.
"All the simple answers to the energy question have been used
up," said Thomas Ellemann, NCSU nuclear energy professor. .
Ellemann was one of five speakers at the two-day symposium :
"Nuclear Power What Are the Issues?" sponsored at UNC by
the St. Anthony Educational Foundation of New York. -
The Great Hall audience was largely anti-nuclear, and
information on solar and other alternative forms of energy
adorned each seat in the hall. But the speakers were undeterred
by repeated shouts of "No nukes!"
"We can't rely on any-one source for energy needs," said
Angelina Howard, director of energy information for Duke
Power, a company that has channeled much , of its future
development into nuclear power.
Howard said the United States uses more than one-third of the
world's total energy consumption, and that society must re
examine how it uses energy. "We have wasted one hell of a lot of
energy in this country," Howard said.
The liveliest discussion Wednesday night centered on the
possibility that nuclear energy plants will fuel the threat of
nuclear terrorism.
"It is not possible to guard against nuclear terrorism
completely." said Paul Szasz. legal counsel lor the United
Nations. "We'll just have to live with it. .
y But Szas7 did .ssiy.terjprmqnstitMtethe greatest immediate
nuclear threat. The fact that terrorists do not have to consider the
political complications' caused by a nuclear threat adds to their
potential danger, Szasz said. .
The ready availability of information on the construction of a
nuclear armament makes it possible for a terrorist to build a
bomb if he can obtain the materials. Szasz said. But Szasz and
Duane Nichols, senior chemical engineer at Research Triangle
Institute; agreed that the threat of nuclear terrorism is not great
enough to prevent nuclear power from being used as an alternate
fuel source. .
The greatest safeguard against nuclear proliferation, Szasz
said, is the inspection policy of the International Atomic Energy
Agency that requires its member states to account for all
radioactive materials. Nevertheless, enforcement of this sanction
is difficult, he said, where world power structures -such as the
United States or the Soviet Union are concerned. .' - , .
The effects of-radiation leaks on the environment also were
discussed at the forum.
"If nuclear energy is the answer, I have to ask 'What is the
question?'" said David Masselli, energy policy director for
Friends of the Earth. f . ' - .
"Geologists are saying now that we can hope, for maybe 10 to
15 years of inactivity in salt mines (where nuclear wastes are
deposited)," Masselli said. "We're talking about materials that
need to be stored for 100 years or more." .
- Masselli said the uses of energy should be looked at more
closely. Only a small part of the electricity generated actually
becomes available for use, Masselli said. The rest is expended in
U conversion and transmission. c- vv-v;--, -
' We could" get
, investigate low-grade heat," Masselli said. Also, hidden subsidies
for utilities to develop nuclear power are encouraging more
development in that area than in other areas of power generation,
Masselli said,, and should therefore be stopped.
The question of radiation danger to people who work in
nuclear plants also was raised. Ellemann said there currently is
not enough data to judge the effects of low-level radiation on
those who work with nuclear power. "We are bombarded from
all side by hazards of all kinds constantly," Ellemann said. "We
can reduce the level to what we judge is an acceptable level."
"I'm not going to say. nuclear power is 100 percent safe,"
Howard said. "Nothing is that safe. But more research has gone
into nuclear power and safety standards from the beginning."
She said a government policy on nuclear waste management is
necessary, but that nuclear plants have the advantage of
economy the cost of building nuclear plants is decreasing, and
the plants pay for themselves quickly.
"Sources of uranium are not being found as it was thought they
would be," Ellemann said. "We need to expedite development of
the breeder reactorhot as a single source, but as a part of the
.energy mix." ' '
But Nichols suggested that solar energy be used to supplement
hydrocarbon fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas and that coal
should be processed into natural gas as a source of cheap fuel.
Moreliead trustees face

A civil suit has been filed agains the
John Motley Morehead Foundation
alleging the foundation's trustees
breached their trust by failing to award a
Morehead scholarship to Jay Allen
Kama, a Lee County resident.
The foundation's five trustees are listed
as defendants in the case.
In the complaint filed by Kama's
attorney, J. Douglas Moretz, the trustees
are said to have violated the trust:
"by arbitrarily giving more weight to
the intangible factor of 'leadership' over
the tangible factor of scholarship." '
"by delegating responsibility for the
scholarship selection process to various
committees.
"by not awarding Jay Allen Kania
an undergraduate Morehead
Scholarship although his qualifaications
are superior to all of those chosen."
by failing to administer the trust in
the manner intended by the trustor, John
Motley Morehead.
'Should the case be decided in Kania's
favor, he has asked that the current
foundation trustees be removed andthat,
he be awarded a Morehead scholarship,
or, if the trustees are not removed, that he
receive $12,000 in damages. Kania.
currently is enrolled at UNC-CH.
Among the ways in which the suit
charges the trustees have failed to
administer Morehead's wishes are:
by failing to award the scholarships
to the persons the trustor intended.-
by failing to "search diligently and
carefullv" for Morehead recipients, as
outlined in Morehead's guidelines for the
trust. :
by failing to pay "particular
attention.. .to academic standing," as -outlined
in the trust.
by delegating the selection process to
various committees, causing the trustees
to serve as "figureheads who rubber
stamp the . so-called Selection
Committee's nominees." V-
by changing the name of the
scholarship from the Join Motley
Morehead Scholarship, as stated in the
trust, to' Morehead Award.
Morehead nominees are first selected
by committees in their high schools.
From there, they must advance to the
county level, district level and ultimately,
to the central selection committee in
Chapel Hill for final .approval.
Kania was one of the nominees selected
at the county level, but he was passed over
by the district selection committee, said .
Russell Robinson, legal counsel Cut the
Morehead Foundation. . ; , ,
Mebane Ml;- Pritchett, executive
director of the Morehead, Foundation,
has been summoned to reply to Kania's
complaint, either in person or by letter,
'by Oct. 14. v-V v v
, Prichett would'make no comment on .
' the case. . .-; "V'v:.'-,' '
"The defendants have filed a motion for
dismissal of the suit, Robinson said. If the '
motion for dismissal is denied either
initially or in appeals, the case should note
come to trial in less than a year, Robinson
said. ' '. ' , . '
The M orehead . Foundation trustees
named as defendants in the suit, filed
June 6, are Hugh G. Chatham, Richard
T. Chatham, Alan T. Dickson, Frank B.

I STREET IRREGULARS Wk,
Holmes club
By MARY ANN RICKERT
Staff W rher
"Come now, Watson, show this little lady to the
club." : -
"All right. Holmes. See you soon."
A scene from a Sherlock Holmes mystery story.'
, right? Wrong. The club is the Continentale Cafe on
Henderson Street, where the idea of a Sherlock
Holmes club was originated by two Chapel Hill
residents.. "Holmes" is .actually Jim Clark, who
works at the Intimate Bookshop and "Watson" is
Alan R. Hall, who works at Soundhaus.
They are the co-founders of the Baker Street
Irregulars, ' derived -from the. name Sherlock
Holmes calls the street urchins in the mystery
- stories. , , . : -
"The club itself is a literary society." Hall said.
Members study 'the "canon 56 short stories and
four novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Each member volunteers to research and write a
paper to be read at a meeting. Paper topics have
included possible ancestors of Sherlock Holmes, a
it's
e
lernentdry
biography of Professor James Mbriarty and
substantiation for the authenticity of the West End
Horror.
" The Baker Street Irregulars was started last
April when both Clark and Hall were working at
the Intimate Bookshop. Both had been longtime
fans of Sherlock Holmes and during their lunch
hours at the Continentale Cafe, the two men, who
faithfully call each other Holmes and Watson,
discussed Conan Doyle's literature.
A member of the New York Baker Street
Irregulars "got us rolling," H all said, to start a club
in Chapel Hill.
Sherlock Holmes clubs are scattered all over the
world, he sa'uL "But to the best of our knowledge
we're the only one in the South."
The Baker Street Irregulars currently has 17
members and hopes for more. The club's next
meeting is at 8 p.m. Sept. 26 in the Wesley
Foundation Chapel Lounge. Hall said anyone
who has an interest in Sherlock Holmes is invited
to attend. "

You may be on Jess's list. , -
; The University chapter of the North Carolina
Federation of College Republicans and campaigners
from Student Leaders for Jesse are using a computer list
of 1,100 UNC students as the jumping board for what
they hope will be a successfull campus reflection effort
for GOP Sen. Jesse Helms. v
."Were in the process of canvassing and should wrap
up on Sept. 27," said John Kallenborn, a junior business
administration major from Wilmington who heads the
College Republicans campaign for Helms at the
University. . -
Many of the 1,100 names on the list were obtained
from a computer readout of students who answered a
Helms questionnaire last spring, Kallenborn said. .
Other names on the master list came as
recommendations from the senator's supporters across
the state, the UNC student said. .
organization at Carolina is run by the senator's own re-
election staff separate from the state Kepubiican Party
organization, said Rudy Ogburn, president of the
statewide C.ollege Republicans. , -
Student Leaders for Jesse, comprised mostly of
Democrats, is directing its statewide campus effort at
Democrats whose votes in November will be essential in
putting the Republican's total tally above the victory
margin, Ogburn said.
"The Helms people (Student Leaders for Jesse) have
been looking' toward the Democrats," Ogburn said. "A ?
lot of Democrats may feel uncomfortable in a
Republican organization such as the College
Republicans."
Teresa Whisenant, director of Helms' youth campaign
at the senator's headquarters in Raleigh, said the idea of
Student Leaders for Jesse .got off the ground about a
year ago.- .
