"I deal in the business of smiling faces,"
Scrub-board Slim said. I want my music
to induce people to jump and shout."
Slim performed Wednesday in the Pit,
playinj and singing old-time jug band
tunes for an audience of approximately
ICO people. He plays a guitar, harmonica,
kazoo, noe-flutc, bulb-horns and an
oscrtaent of foot-operated percussion
instruments.
Hb music revives early jazz, blues and
tiring-band music in the spirit of old
vaudeville. As part of his act, Slim also
ju-les and rides a unicycle.
"Is it possible to juggle three different
items of different shapes and
configurations?" Slim asked as he
grabbed one ball, one drain plunger and
one rubber chicken. He proved that it was
possible.
Slim promotes juggling as an enjoyable
form of exercise. Anyone can learn the
basics in about seven or eight minutes,"
he said. "You have to concentrate. That's
the key," he said.
"Anyone who's a juggler endorses it
wholeheartedly as a non-competitive
activity, one that you can do at your own
pace that's good for mental and physical
fitness, especially hand and eye
coordination."
Not only is Slim a man of many talents,
but also a man of many names: Scrub
Board Slim, Mr. Slim the Side Show
Man and the Perambulating One-Man
Jug Band to name a few. His real name is
Reg Bacon. As in eggs," he said.
Slim has been performing for about
five years at public celebrations, fairs and
college events. "Anywhere I can make a
buck," he said.
Slim said he is best known in the New
England states and around his hometown
of Groveland, Mass. But said he enjoys
performing in the South, especially on
college campuses.
Slim received his pseudonym when he
performed with the "Alley 54" clown
troupe in Boston. "They decided I needed
an identity," Slim said. "So 1 ended up as
Scrub-Board Slim."
Slim wound up his act in the Pit by
reaching for his unicycle and riding
around the area, juggling as he went.
-"I'm not only an entertainer or
performer, but a role model for kids," he
said. But perhaps the best way to
remember Slim is by his theme song:
Not so long ago
My life was in a rut.
Now Tve got everything going my way
'Cause Tm a professional nut.

In the business of smiling faces
...Scrub-board Slim

Expressing optimism that at least part
of their budget request will be honored,
the 1980 Senior Class officers have asked
a Campus Governing Council committee
for a $525 student fee allocation.
"Our proposals are reasonable," class
Vice President Karen Tagalos told the
CGC Finance Committee Tuesday night.
"We do a lot of fund raisers on our own,
and we're only asking money for three of
our seven proposed programs. We made
an estimate of what we needed, kept
things down and tried not to overshoot
the mark.
"We're optimistic about getting some
money, but we're being realistic," she
said. "We've not asked for a lot, but then
we have not given a lot in the past."
The Senior Class had requested an
appropriation for food and beverages to
be served at class-sponsored social
events, but David Wright, CGC Finance
Committee chairman, said council laws
prohibit appropriation of student fees for
such uses.
"Our laws prohibit social
expenditures," Wright said. "However, if
a group raises the money themselves and
puts it in a social category in the Student
Activities Fund Office, then they can
spend it on social expenditures."
The Student Activities Fund Office is
the central treasury and accounting agent
for University-recognized student groups
receiving student fee monies.
"We would have asked for less if we
had known that they (the CGC) didn't
give money for food," Tagalos said. ;
"What we really need are funds for
printing, postage and office supplies."
The Senior Class officers are not
allocated office space as are some other
student groups that receive fee ;
appropriations from CGC. The Senior
Class has also requested funds for Senior
Panic Week.
Another program the class officers are
asking the CGC to help finance is a
ceremony for students who graduate in
the fall, Tagalos said.
"Five hundred students graduate in the
fall without any kind of special
recognition, and we want to have a
special gathering for them and maybe ask
the chancellor to come," she said.
But Wright said since the UNC
Division of Student Affairs provides
money to pay for spring commencement
ceremonies, the Senior Class should seek
money for a fall commencement from the
University.
Panel to discuss nuke accident
BJ violations found yet

The investigation of local
establishments allegedly serving liquor to
minors, by the Orange County Alcoholic
Beverage Control police is continuing,
ABC Police Chief Burch Compton said
Tuesday.
But Compton said the problem does
not appear to be as extensive as was first
believed.
"After going into the businesses we
found that they are catering more to older
people, and there didn't seem to be any
teenagers there," he said.
On March 27, Compton reported
between six and 10 Chapel Hill
establishments were being investigated by
the ABC police.
The appearance of an article about the
investigation in the Daily Tar Heel
helped to deter area bartenders from
serving minors and has partly reduced the
problem, Compton said.
The number of establishments being
investigated has been reduced, he said.
In restaurants visited by ABC agents in
the past two weeks, there seems to be
more checking of identification,
Compton said.
He said the ABC agents have not been
checking Chapel Hill establishements
more frequently than normal because
they have been involved in other
activities.
Tim Peck, a bartender at Crook's
Corner Barbecue, said he has been
checking identification a little more
closely since the investigation was made
public. "It's nothing drastic, though," he
said.

of RHA. But this year the committee
considered allowing RHA to choose only
one person for the award, citing the
definition of excellence as referring to one
person.
James O. Cansler, associate vice
chancellor and chairman of the awards'
committee, sent RHA a letter April 6
saying the committee realized a decision
may result in a tie and the award may be
given to two people this year. However,
the committee will meet during the
summer to discuss what will be done
about the award next year.
RHA President William Porterfield
said the committee made the decision
because ".sp .many.. organizations .had.

MARTHA WAGGONER
seeks opinions
on 54 bypass
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
voted Tuesday to schedule a public
hearing on April 24 to help them decide
whether to request the N.C. Department
of Transportation to expand the N.C. 54
bypass to a four-lane highway within
Carrboro's town limits.
Chapel Hill has already decided to
request the DOT to widen the 15-501
bypass, which turns into the 54 bypass at
Carrboro's town limits.
Carrboro's Planning Board
recommended that Carrboro not ask the
DOT for an expansion of N .C. 54. It said
in a report to the aldermen that the
expansion may be detrimental to the bus
system and that it would further limit
access points on the bypass.

"Harrisburg: What Happened?", an
informal panel discussion about the
accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear
power plant near Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, will be held at 7:30 tonight
in 215 Phillips Hall.
"We will not discuss the pros and cons
or nuclear energy," said Dietrich
Schroeer, UNC associate professor of
physics and political science, "but rather
exactly what happened at the Harrisburg
nuclear reactor and if such things are
likely to happen at other nuclear reactors
across the country."
Schroeer will serve as moderator for
the panel. The three panel members will
be from N.C. State University. They are
Thomas S. Elleman, head of the NCSU
department of nuclear engineering;
Raymond L. Murray, professor of
physics and nuclear engineering; and
James R. Bohannon, associate professor
of nuclear engineering and nuclear
administration.
The panel members will answer
questions after the discussion.

2 MILLION CANT BE WRONGS
A U.S. Dept. of Labor Study in 1973 revealed that only 6 pf 2 million
recent employees felt that College Placement Offices had been a major
influence in getting the job they had. We suggest that you still use your
college placement office but we offer you a chance to increase your job
opportunities significantly over 6! Attend our one-day Alternate
Placement Workshops. Introductory topics will include: establishing
your own underground job info network, sabotaging the inept
employment system, getting the most dollars for your inexperience and
(Grad students too) identifying alternate career opportunities.
We're new but pugnacious! Try us!
One day (8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.) Workshop cost $40.00 per person.
