Alpha Chis have pretty legs and Tri Sigs can dress a house, but
the Phi Mus got the derbies.
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. "We surpassed last year's total

In a vivid kaleidoscope of colors, music and
people, Durham's Sixth Annual Street Arts
Festival whirled into motion Saturday. The
bright, windy day made up for the bad weather
that postponed the fair last week.
Craft and food booths and music on three
stages vied for the attention of an estimated
40,000 visitors on Durham's Main and
surrounding streets. The crowd made it
possible to move only at a crawl, but allowed
more time to peruse the displayed items and to

reward effort," he said. So we feel the trophies went to the most
deserving sororities."
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."

Drifting smoke from cooking egg rolls and

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

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.

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. -
