University physics professor Joseph
Straley announced Wednesday his
candidacy for the Chapel Hill Town
Council.
Straley's entrance into the race
increases the field of candidates to six for
the four open council seats that will be
decided Nov. 6.
Incumbents Jonathan Howes and
R.D. Smith, Mayor James Wallace, Joe
Herzenberg, chairman of the Chapel Hill
Historic District and Bruce Tindall, a
member of the town transportation
board, also are running.
"I do think I have some things that,
.none of the other candidates have."'
Straley said. He called himself a liberal
and said he has always taken the "people
side of the issue."
While he conceded that the other
council candidates are also regarded as
liberals, Straley said he would bring a
different perspective to the council.
"It's not so much (a different) stance,
but a difference in the extent of
commitment and the nature of
information," he said.
Straley has been active in the energy
field. He is director of theN.C. Piedmont
Crescent Energy Project, deputy editor of
the International Journal of Energy
Research and chairman of the Energy
Committee of the N.C. Academy of
Science. Straley also is a co-author of
Energy in Orange County and served as a
consultant for the U.S. House Committee
on Energy and Power from 1975 to 1977. .
The growth of the town is the crucial
issue confronting local residents, Straley
said.

A key aspect of the town's growth, he
said, is the inevitable growth of the
University. He said he would like to
increase the amount of "give and take"
between the town and the University to
handle the projected growth.
"In one way it (the University's growth)
is its own business, but in another very
important sense it is everyone's business,"
he said.
Straley said the University's planned
construction of a $21 million athletic
center off Mason Farm Road will require
a great deal of input from the town on
where it will be built and how it will affect
residents of the area.
Straley has lived in Chapel Hill since
the 1940s. He said he has been "fired up in
one way or another on every political
issue." In he 1960s he was active in both
the protests against the Vietnam War and
in the civil rights movement.
He said he marched in picket lines with
mayoral candidate Harold Foster.
Foster, who attended Straley's press
conference yesterday, expressed his
support of Straley's candidacy.
blocks walkway

Chain link fencing went up around most of the Carolina Union's unpaved
lot Wednesday afternoon as workers prepared the area for construction of the
University's new central library.
Carolyn Taylor, administrative assistant for the traffic and parking office
said the entire lot, including the brick walkway which runs along the north
side of the Carolina Union, will be closed to the public after the UNC
Cincinnati game Saturday.
Construction of the new library would begin as scheduled on Monday,
Taylor said.
Many students, particularly from Henderson Residence College, have
expressed anger over the closing of the brick walk which runs between the
7
Carolina Union addition and the library site.
One petition asking that the walk be kept open was signed by
approximately half of H RCs residents and sent to several U niversity officials.
Norman Acker, a Connor dorm resident who started the petition, said he
thought a covered walkway or only temporary closings of the walk during
heavy construction periods was called for.
"They should explain exactly why they need to close it," Acker said. "Even if
it costs a little bit more to build a covered walk they should still do it.
"If I wanted to walk by Manly to get to class everyday I'd move to Manly,
another HRC resident said.
Taylor said she did not know if the walk will be closed for the entire
duration of the library construction. The library is expected to be completed
in three years.

Anybody with a sense of how wheels and gears work can "fix" a
bike. But there's quite a distance between knowing a little mechanics
and knowing how to fix a 10-speed or a moped properly.
The service people at The Chia U&chine are more than your
ordinary, talented mechanics. They've been trained and tested by the
people who make those bikes and mopeds.
That's why our personnel hold certificates from Schwinn, Rich,
Peugeot and Batavus. And that's why you can trust us with your bike.
If we can fix it, we will. If we can't, we'll tell you.
