Derby Week 1979 had a little bit of everything, from the derby chase to games on Ehringhaus Field to car washes, the dance and a pretty legs contest. When it was all over, Sigma Chi fraternity and the 12 sororities involved had raised approximately $12,200 for the North Carolina Kidney Foundation. Each sorority will receive 15 percent of the money it raised for the charity of its choice. The rest of the money will be used to help kidney patients at N.C. Memorial Hospital. " Phi Mu sorority raised $3,023, the largest contribution from an individual house. The sisters won three other events, including the derby chase, to capture first place in the overall competition. Second and third place trophies went to Alpha Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta. , Steve Krichmar, Sigma Derby Week chairperson, called the festivities the most successful ever.

The most visible of Derby Week activities was the derby chase. On Thursday, sorority sisters spent the afternoon darting around campus, tackling Sigma Chi brothers and collecting their derbies. Last year a sister busted her kneecap during the chase, but Krichmar said he knew of no major injuries this year even though bumps and bruises were common. We urged everyone to slow down, take it easy and have some fun," he said. , Thursday night Sigma Chi sponsored a dance in the Tin Can 'featuring the Catalinas and the Dynamic Upsetters. Derby Week competition ended Friday afternoon as sorority sisters competed in three-legged races, beer chugs, bat spins, tug-of-war and zip strips a game where sorority sisters in bathing suits run to sleeping bags, zip themselves in, strip, change clothes and then emerge to dart to the finish line. "This year was so successful because we had phenomenal ; support from Panhel and all the sororities," Krichmar said. We couldn't have done it without their tremendous attitudes, dedication and hard work." ? ye. - i L 'If Mtonntft "in ''" .w.Jl 41 DTHDavtd Earnrurdt main sports et FestifsH III JiiKKJ ilO chat at one of many booths.

All the street lights were red, and the cars that usually travel between Columbia and Raleigh streets were replaced by people enjoying the sunny afternoon and Festifall. Participation in the street fair was limited this year to allow only Orange County residents to sell merchandise, cutting in half the number of booths from last year. Rick Smith of the Chapel Hill Police Department said the crowd of about 5,000 was much smaller than last year and much more organized. The smaller size, however, did not diminish the enthusiasm of the crowd. All ages came out to enjoy the entertainment Durhum street fair Later a few couples broke into hearty jigs, while others were more worried about keeping the wind from dancing away with their shirts, skirts and paper bags.

PtA L!u3 centering a frstsrnlSy brother In test week's derby chsss Center mediates conflict ettle nit By ANNE-MARIE DOWNEY Staff Writer A Chapel Hill couple had been living together for two years when they decided, not too amicably, to split up. After their separation, she unexpectedly dropped in on him at his apartment. He was with another woman. In a rage, she shrieked and yelled. He responded by slapping her and pulling her hair. The next day she stormed down to the police station and charged him with assault and battery. Believing one good turn deserves another, he charged her with trespassing, and the couple became embroiled in a court case. But when the case came before the Orange County judge, he offered them an alternative to a lengthy and painful court battle. He referred them to the newly established Chapel Hill Dispute Settlement Center, where their conflict was resolved. The settlement center, opened in January of this year at 105 N. Columbia St., offering people who are involved in interpersonal conflicts an opportunity to settle their conflicts outside of court, said Charlotte Adams, president of the center. The dispute settlement center is staffed by 12 volunteer "mediators," who work with the feuding parties and seek to get at the root of the conflict. Approximately 75 percent of the time the disputes are resolved through the efforts of the mediators. The center handles a variety of cases, . some criminal and some civil. Adams said the center has dealt with cases of simple " assault and battery, disagreements between neighbors over barking dogs, property disputes and family conflicts. Chapel Hill's settlement center is one of many springing up throughout the nation. In 1978 there were approximately 50 of these experimental centers in the United States. Most had been started since 1975. The Chapel Hill center is the only one of its kind in North Carolina and, in fact, is the only one between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. off eowi The idea for a Chapel Hill . settlement center was First discussed in 197 1 when the local Women's International League for Peace and Freedom began to monitor county courts to determine the level of justice in the system. What was found, Adams said, was an amazing number of cases in which there was no clear right or wrong. One party in the dispute remained angry after the court's decision. The group then began to explore the possibility of operating some type of center for settling those disputes by working through the conflict, rather than by assigning blame for the dispute. But the idea appeared to be fading until the group stumbled upon a program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Adams said. Each of the 12 volunteers received 15 hours of training, which focused on the method of role playing. In January the group was ready to start operations in the Chapel H ill community. But money was a crucial problem for the new center, Adams said. "We just went into our own jeans, but you can't do that forever," she said. The center received some funds from the local United Fund, but its big break came in August when it received a $7, 100 state grant, which had been sponsored by Orange County Rep. Trish Hunt. The mediators work in teams of two and discuss the problem with each party involved. After hearing both sides, the mediators try to find out what ' concessions the opponents will accept. If 1 a compromise can be reached, the parties sign a contract agreeing to the terms, and the conflict is resolved without a court battle. Thus, there are no court fees and no permanent criminal records. The problem's solution Adams said, comes from the two parties involved and is not handed down by the mediators. The process is non-judgmental, she said. "We are not 'arbitrators. We are mediators. Our solution is not imposed," she said. -
