HILLSBOROUGH "People who
vote for bond issues today are crazy,
California tax revolt leader Howard
Jarvis said at a press conference
Wednesday.
"They're supplying the money for
everybody and the people who own
property are paying for it, he said.
Jarvis, who also was to speak to the
Orange Farm and '. Landowners
Association, said he has studied the bond
issues Orange County residents will vote
on Nov. 6 and feels they are unnecessary.
"That's silly," he said of the bond issues
county residents will vote on Tuesday.
"Let them (county officials) use the
money they already have."
Jarvis also questioned whether bond
money to finance facilities for
exceptional children in county schools is
really needed. "I wonder what's going to
happen to the other kids? Is everybody in
the county exceptional children?
Jarvis criticized the state's resident
property tax system. "This state better get
off its duff and reorganize its tax system,"
he said. ;
"You're rapidly approaching the same
situation as California before we got
Proposition 13. You better do something
so you won't get in the same stupid
situation as us. The only way is for you
people to do what the people of
California did with Proposition 13.
Income taxes and sales taxes, rather
than property taxes, should be used to
finance such projects as school
construction, Jarvis said. " The state has
got to arrange for money for schools."
"Everybody who wants free education
should put his money where his mouth
is," he said.
The property tax system is creating a
landless society, Jarvis said. "The most
important " human right is to own
property."
North Carolinians should work to have
the right of initiative instituted in their
state government, Jarvis said. "This
would give the people of North Carolina
the right to vote on current issues. Even if
you never use the right of initiative, you
should have it."
Big government is also a major
problem, Jarvis said. "We must cut the
size of government in North Carolina, in
California all over the nation."
Proposition 13 has caused tremendous
improvements in California's economy
since it was passed, Jarvis said. The state
has experienced a pickup in business due
to money going into private industry
rather than taxes, and the cutback on
public employees has also helped, he said.
"Private employment is how you have
a strong economy, a strong . country,"
Jarvis said.
On the problem of the flight of whites
to the suburbs and the subsequent greater
tax burden to finance inner-city projects,
Jarvis said, "A general tax cut is the
solution to most of that problem."

The Chapel Hill mayoral and Town Council s
candidates split on the issues of joint planning, the
budgetary process and the Public Safety Officer
program in two forums Tuesday.
In a forum sponsored by WCH L radio station, the
mayoral candidates engaged in a heated exchange
over the issue of joint planning between Chapel Hill
and Orange County. f
Candidate Joe Nassif said the time has come for ;
the county and town to plan on a larger scale and to
do so jointly.
But Robert Epting. a current Town Council
member and one of Nassifs opponents, said the
council has tried to work with the county, but that it reports furnished by the town manager are sufficient

changed. Now the county commissioners seem less
inclined to give extraterritorial jurisdiction."
"No one in this room can deny there are
substantial subdivisions planned for areas out to the
north," Epting said. "It's that kind of activity I think
Chapel Hill ought to be able to plan for."
That s the wrong approach to take," Nassif said.
Foster basically agreed with Nassifs proposal, and
said the council ought to review every penny of the
budget.
Cohen said he favored some revision in the budget
process, but he said he did not think the council
should interfere with the duties of the town manager.

Efforts by Graduate and Professional Student
Federation representatives to make it easier for
graduate students to vote on an upcoming
camp'us referendum were soundly defeated by
the Campus Governing Council Tuesday night.
The GPSF hope the referendum; if approved,
will give them financial autonomy. The
referendum is campus-wide and is tentatively
scheduled to be held within the next two weeks.
It will amend the student constitution so that
15 percent of student activities funds paid by.
graduate and professional students will be
diverted to the federation each year without prior
approval by the CGC.
A bill was proposed by Roy Rocklin,
federation president, to add four new polling
places and move two others so that it would be
more convenient for graduate students to vote.
The bill was proposed in two parts. The first
part called for additional polling places at
Rosenau Hall, Hamilton Hall, Davie Hall and
Kenan Laboratories. The second part called for
relocating polling places from the Scuttlebutt
snack bar across the street to Peabody Hall and
from Wilson Library to Greenlaw Hall.
"Most ballot boxes are located in the dorms
and on central campus and in order to make it
more convenient for graduate students to vote,
we proposed setting up new ballot boxes in some
of the graduate departments," Rocklin said after
the meeting.
Rocklin said he could see how moving the
ballot boxes might cause some objections, but he
could not understand why people would object
to the additional boxes and increased graduate
student participation in campus elections.
CGC. Speaker Rhonda Black said she did not
want to change the balloting procedure so close
to an election. She moved that Rocklin's bill be
tabled and presented to the council after the
CGC Rules and Judiciary Committee had
carefully studied some of the possible effects of
such a change in the balloting.
"Several CGC representatives said they could
not understand why graduate students could not .
vote where they had in previous elections.
David Wright, CGC finance committee
chairperson, said he thought that off-campus
undergraduate students had more trouble
finding places to vote than graduate students.
The CGC thus should not make a special
consideration for graduate students, he said.
See GRADS on page 2
Council memeber, said, "The greatest thing we have
failed to do is consult with the people (in the area
under debate)."
"You can't just force a decision on them," Cohen
said.
Harold Foster, another mayoral candidate, said
Chapel Hill ought to plan only for the area within its
existing territorial jurisdiction.
The candidates reiterated their stances on
planning at a forum sponsored by Common Cause
and the League of Women Voters. Nassif said Chapel
Hill's growth is determined by the University, N.C.
Memorial Hospital and the Triangle area as well as
the town, and he stressed working cooperatively with
people who live outside the town's corporate limits.
"People are frightened about the growth of Chapel
Hill," Epting said. "I'm like a lot of other folks. I'd
prefer Chapel Hill to stop growing just after I got
here. I don't think that's going to happen."
' The issue of the budget also prompted debate
among the mayoral candidates.
Part of Nassifs campaign platform has been
changing and lengthening the town's budget process.
Nassif has argued the town has to begin the process
earlier to allow the council time to re-evaluate all the
services funded in the town's budget, which this year
totaled over $13 million.
But Epting said the town is making moves to
improve the budgetary process and said the quarterly

Union loop
By DIANE WILFONG

.Although motorists frustrated by the
closing of the Carolina Union parking lot
are no doubt even more perturbed by the
closing of the small parking loop on the
Union's south side, only construction
company employees will be allowed to
park there for the duration of
construction on the new Union addition,
parking officials said this week.
The University's contract with Security
Building Company, the firm constructing
the Union addition, provides for full
usage of the Carolina Union parking
facilities by company employees. Cars
without employee permits that are
parked in the loop will be towed day and
night, company officials said.
Gates have been installed to close off
the loop but some students have
continued to park there because one gate
remains open for service trucks coming to
the Carolina Union. Construction
company officials said only employees
working on the construction project
should park there even when the gate is
open, however. ,
Parking officials also are concerned
about completing the new 600-space
Manning Drive fringe lot, said William
Locke, traffic and parking administrator.
Although the lot has already opened,
workmen still must install a bus shelter,
additional landscaping and parking
stripes, he said. '
The traffic office has received many
complaints from students who feel that
bus service to the fringe lot is
unsatisfactory, Locke said. Most
students are unhappy over the
infrequency of bus arrivals and the early
afternoon termination of the S bus route,
he said.
Not more than 80 cars are using the -fringe
lot regularly, Locke said. "1 think
we will have increased use of it next year,"
he said.
University employees who had parked
in the Carolina Union lot at the beginning
of the semester were relocated to the new
Manning Drive parking deck addition
when construction began on the new
central library. But as more patients and
visitors to N.C. Memorial Hospital begin
to use the parking deck. University
employees will be moved to the fringe lot,
Locke said.

acquired the reputation of being a gay bar.
Bruce Durbin, owner of 42nd Street, would not release names
of the "cast" members due to the sensitive nature of the show, but
the anonymous players gave a professional performance, rivaling

Many problems still remain to be solved
before minority employees can overcome
barriers created by attitudes of tokenism in
government service agencies, Harold Webb, of
the N.C. Office of State Personnel, said
Wednesday.
Webb spoke during an all-day conference,
"Ways in Which Minority Presence May
Enhance an Agency's Effectiveness," sponsored
by the University's School of Public Health
Department of Health Education.
"Agencies have moved from absence of
minority employees to tokenism," Webb said.
Those members of minority groups who are
employed by service agencies are usually
excluded from the higher policy-developing
decision-making positions, he said.
State and University officials spoke to
; representatives from service agencies across the
state about . the , problems and challenges
individuals, agencies and communities must face
and strategies they must employ to increase the
effective presence of minority employees.
acres of land in the Ridgefield area near University
Mall.
While Joe Herrenberg said he did not approve ol
the way in which the bond was placed on the ballot,
he said, "1 would find it very difficult to vote against
it."
This has been flawed from the start," Joe Straley
said. "1 will vote against it with a great deal of
sorrow."
Bruce Tindall said he also planned to vote against
the referendum.
Incumbent R.D. Smith did not say whether 'he
would vote for the referendum, but he said, "I'm
certainly in favor of putting it to the people of Chapel
Hill."
"I will vote for the Ridgefield bond referendum on.
Tuesday," incumbent Jonathan Howes said. "1 will
do so despite the fact I led the effort to try to unhook
the bond issue from the specific land in the Ridgefield
area."
But the referendum received the endorsment of
Mayor James Wallace, who is also a candidate for
the Town Council. Wallace agreed the way in which
the council handled the issue was "backwards," but
he said it still merits passage.

another minority barrier
"Conflict is inherent in a pluralistic society and
must be used to bring about change," said Tony
Whitehead of the UNC-CH School of Public
Health Department of Education. "It makes
sense for minorities to be present in an agency
because of the number of minorities being
served." Employment of minorities
demonstrates effective management of labor
resources, he said.
Minority individuals are challenged to
represent both their employing agency and their
constituents who are served by that agency,
Whitehead said. Communities are challenged to
gain understanding of the needs of various
groups, he said.
Minorities may face problems in dealing with
group relationships and attitudes of fellow
employees. Whitehead said. "Differing attitudes
may result in behavior that sometimes leads to
conflict," he said.
Another problem minorities may face is being
excluded from the decision-making process.
"Informal networks can develop where decisions
are really made. On the surface, it may seem that
minorities have decision-making power, but
actually they are not members of that informal
network," he said.
Sometimes integration creates new problems
for minority groups, such as cultural conflict.
Whitehead said. With school integration, blacks
have faced problems with lack of leadership
development among black youths since the
majority white student population monopolizes
leadership positions in the integrated schools, he
said. ,
Affirmative action programs have led to token
hiring of minorities in some instances, a practice
which can lead to "Uncle Tomism" among
minority employees. Whitehead said. Minority
groups should be aware of these individuals, but
should also give support to their representatives
in various agencies, he said.
Officials appearing at the conference included
James Hardin, chairman of the Cumberland
County Association of Indian People; Hugh
Hargett of the N.C. Division of Mental Health;
Robert Chavis of the N.C. Commission of Indian
Affairs; Lonnic Revels of Guilford Native
American Association; and members of the UNC
faculty.

If you were out trick-or-treating last
night and came across a bunch of
strangely dressed women carrying
strangely carved pumpkins, then you had
the pleasure of observing the Kappa
Kappa Gamma pumpkin walk.
Each year the KKG sisters distribute
personalized jack-o-lanterns to campus
notables and organizations. This year
they delivered approximately 40
pumpkins.
"It's an annual affair," said Lee
Clements, public relations director for
Kappa Kappa Gamma. "It's sponsored
by the public relations committee of the
house. Everyone dresses up in costumes
and we deliver jack-o-lanterns to each
group house on campus frats,
sororities, the Y -court. The Daily Tar
Heel. (UNC) President Friday's house,
etc.
"We try to carve the insignia of each
fraternity or sorority on the face of the
jack-o-lantern. They are usually a
creative, traditional jack-o-lantern. ft
brings us closer together because we have
a project we're working on together for
the campus."
The costumes are a big part of the
event. Clements said. The sisters started
working on them about a week ago.
"We've had everything from Crayola
crayons to Close-up toothpaste to a box
of M&MY Clements said. "Some people
go with traditional gnosis and witches.
but usually the outfits are pretty crazy.
"We give prizes for the costumes that
are the best and most original in the
