Isoues raioe duot
on campaign trai
By ANNE-MARIE DOWNEY
Staff Writer
With the Chapel Hill mayoral race coming
down to the wire, the four candidates are
vigorously campaigning, trying to gather voting
force behind their differing positions for the Nov. 6
election.
Local politicians have predicted that the
election will be extremely close. But it appears that
two candidates Joe Nassif and Robert Epting
may have a slight edge over Town Council member
Gerry Cohen. Candidate Harold Foster is
considered, as he said himself, a long shot.
An analysis
The campaign was low key at the beginning, but
the race has heated up somewhat this week and
clear differences have emerged among the
candidates. In the numerous forums the
confrontations between Town Council member
Epting and architect Nassif have been particularly
interesting.
Nassifs architectural firm and Epting's law
office are both located at 214 West Rosemary St.
Nassifs secretary recently expressed joking
concern that she was "consorting with the enemy"
when she asked Epting's secretary for a ride home.
While the offices may be in proximity, Epting
Moard OK
and Nassif have expressed the most divergence in
their stands. Both Cohen and Foster usually fall
somewhere between the other two candidates.
The issue which has provoked the most heated
exchanges is joint planning with Orange County.
The question is whether Chapel Hill should
continue trying to obtain a planning district
extension from' the county, or whether it should
agree to jointly plan the rapidly growing area
north of the town limits.
Advocates of the extension, including Epting,
have argued that the area is becoming increasingly
urbanized and have said the town should be able to
regulate its growth. If the trend continues as
expected, Epting maintains, the town soon will
have to annex the area. In order to prevent having
to upgrade the area from county to town standards
when the land is annexed, the town should control
' the growth now, he said.
But Nassif has countered Epting's position and
said that asking for the extension is the wrong
approach. The town ought to jointly plan the area
with Orange County, he said.
"We're all for planning, but planning for what
and with whom?" Nassif asked. "It's the vision of
what you think planning ought to be that is the
difference."
Peg Parker, an influential local figure and
former chairman of the town planning board, said
she was not sure if Nassif has addressed the
practical aspects of joint planning.
"I am concerned about what he really means
when he talks about long-range planning," Parker
said. "He does confuse me, and the other
candidates don't so much."
Cohen has expressed concern that in the debate
over joint planning the views of the residents in the
proposed planning extension have not been taken
into consideration. Their views ought to be the key
concern, he said.
The town already has enough area to plan,
Foster said.
Another issue which separates the candidates is
Nassifs proposal that the town's budget process
ought to be extended, with the council scrutinizing
all the expenditures.
Again, Epting and Nassif differ. Epting has said
that while the council ought to set the general goals
of the budget, it is up to the town manager to
implement the nuts and bolts of the budget.
He said in the council-manager form of
government, the council is supposed to trust the:
manager to implement the budget goals the Town
Council sets.
He also said the council's current quarterly
reviews of the budget are sufficient study of the
expenditures.
Nassif says of the budget: "It is the essence of
what the council has to deal with."
While Cohen does not totally agree with Nassifs
proposal, he said the council does need to study the
budget more carefully.
Foster has expressed his support for increased
study of the budget.
The $300,000 open space bond referendum also
splits the candidates. The bond funds would be
used to purchase 70 acres of land in the Ridgefield
area near University Mall. Some of the land lies in
a floodway, and the method in which the council
approved the bond has been criticized. The
proposal originally came before the council from
area residents who opposed a subdivision planned
Politicking varies
in Carrboro hh
See CAMPAIGNS on page 2
By PAM KELLEY
Staff Writer
There is only one way to adequately describe the
two candidates running for mayor in Carrboro:
different. Extremely different.
The incumbent, Robert Drakeford, has several
years of political experience, holds a master's
degree in planning, and has initiated several
programs as mayor.
Drakeford's opponent, Larry Carroll, has no
political experience. He has a high school
education and works as a dishwasher at Spanky's
restaurant.
An analysis
Carroll supports basically the same issues and
programs that Drakeford does. He would like to
expand the Carrboro bus system, but he has no
specific plans for it yet. Drakeford has advocated
possible expansion of services to the Villages
apartments.
Carroll also supports bringing industry into
Carrboro, but he said he does not know how he
would attract industry to the town. Drakeford
organized a commission last spring which has been
studying possible industrial sites in Carrboro.
He also has said he wants to update the current
thoroughfare plan, which deals with long-term
road and highway improvements in Chapel Hill
and Carrboro. After it is updated, he .vants to
adopt it so that improvemets can begin.
When Carroll was asked his opinion of the
thoroughfare plan, he replied, "The what?"
Carroll said he decided to run for mayor to see
what it would be like. He has not any campaigning
or distributed any literature about himself because
he said he does not have the time or the money. He
admitted that if he were elected he would have to
rely heaviiy on the ideas of the Board of Aldermen
and citizens in order to run Carrboro's
government.
Despite Carroll's lack of political experience,
Drakeford said he is taking his opponent seriously.
He has not campaigned as much as he did before
he was elected in 1977, but he said that is because
as the incumbent he has not had time to campaign.
"I am extremely concerned that numerous
student voters are going to vote for Carroll
because they think it would be a good thing, a
funny thing, to do," Drakeford said. "That's
ridiculous. If he were elected, I honestly believe it
would be the worst disaster the town has ev er seen.
"I've never seen Carroll at a single board
meeting. He wouldn't even know how to run one,"
he said.
Drakeford said he had heard some students say
they were going to vote for Carroll. "I've been a
champion of student rights in this state, and I find
it most disturbing to think that part of my
constituency that I've worked for is deserting me,"
he said. "I've heard people tell me for years that
student voters arc capricious, and I'd hate to think
that was true."

The Food Service Advisory Board adopted two new meal
plans Thursday to replace the existing I4-meal and 10-meaI
plans. ' -
The new meal plans for the campus's Servomation, Inc.
restaurants will break down the $2.65 allocation of the existing
plans into $1 and $1.65 allocations beginning in the spring
semester. The advisory board will send its proposal to Vice
Chancellor for Business and Finance John Temple for final
approval.
The "Tar Heel Plan," replacing the 1 4-meal plan, will offer five
$1 allocations, four $1.50 allocations, five $1.15 allocations and
five $3. 15 allocations weekly. The allocations may be used in any
combination for any meal.
The "Carolina Plan," replacing the 10-meal plan, will provide
five $1 allocations, five $1.65 allocations and five $3.15
allocations. These allocations also can be used in any
combination.
The minimum allocation for breakfast under existing plans is
$1.50, lunch-is $2.65 and dinner is $3.15. At Chase Cafeteria,
meal planners use up their full allocation on a per-meal basis.
At the Pine Room and the Union Snack Bar, meal planners are
charged for items on an a la carte basis, paying the difference in
cash if they exceed the allocated amount.
Using the new allocation system, a meal plan subscriber could
use a $1.65 allocation for a small lunch or put the $1 allocation
and $1.65 allocation together to equal the standard $2.65
allocation. Similarly, under the new Tar Heel plan a student
could combine $ 1 .50 and $ 1 .65 allocations to equal the full $3. 1 5
allocation for dinner.
Douglas Elvers, faculty chairman of the subcommittee which
submitted the proposal, explained a student could now have four
meals a day if he so desired, under the new Tar Heel plan. The
advantage of the new plans is that they do not change anything
for students who are satisfied with the existing allocation. A
student still can combine the $1 and $1.65 allocations to get a
$2.65 meal.
Dick Patton, campus director for Servomation, said he was
pleased with the acceptance of the new plans. Students now will
be able to have a snack during the day if they want, he said.
Students will be able to pay for part of their meals in cash,
Patton said. For example, if a student wants to use a $1
allocation for a meal at Chase Cafeteria normally requiring a
$3.15 allocation, the student would pay $2.15 in cash.

Professor Thomas Isenhcur at forum
By THOMAS JESSIMAN
Staff Writer
Chemistry Department Chairman Thomas L.
Isenhour condemned the Thornton report Thursday
night, calling for the collection of more data before
any , . changes are made in the undergraduate
curriculum. '
Isenhour, speaking in a Campus Y forum in Great
Hall, said students and faculty should be extensively
polled and problems with the present curriculum
should be agreed on before changes are made.
The Thornton report, drafted at the request of
Samuel R. Williamson, dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, recommends an increase in General
College requirements and a more specific and
detailed program.
"Before we make any changes we should look at
the success of our students in our present
curriculum," Isenhour said. "It is my opinion,
speaking from my perspective in the chemistry
department, that recent students have been
extraordinarily successful. It is unfortunate that the
Thornton committee turned in its report before its
work was finished."
Williamson, in the forum audience, responded to
Isenhour's charges. "I think you have to launch an
issue to get it done," Williamson said.
Williamson said he set up a committee to look into
curriculum reform because he sensed there had been
many complaints about the current curriculum.
Many people could not understand why it was set up
in its existing format, he said.
The problems of the Thornton report could be
worked out within a year, Williamson said. But if
more and more polls were taken and data collected,
then curriculum reform might be postponed
indefinitely, he said. Weldon Thornton, professor of
English and chairman of the committee which
drafted the report, said generalizations about the
success of his report or the past curriculum could not
be made because of the variation in criteria which
determine post-graduate admissions.
"I don't believe what we are doing here is subject to
hard data," Thornton said. "We need to take a step
into this and not just take a lot of surveys."
The student and faculty meetings in which the
report has been discussed have not been merely
cosmetic, Thornton said. Criticisms and suggestions
will be taken into consideration when the report is
rewritten, he said.

Friday denies
By JIM HUMMEL
Staff Writer
UNC officials denied Thursday that they prevented University
employees from testifying in UNCs desegregation battle with the
Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
Responding to reports by HEW that UNC has "engaged in a
systematic attempt to intimidate and coerce" its employees, UNC
President William Friday issued a statement denying the charge.
"As of this date, HEW has not seen fit to give us or our
attorneys a copy of whatever charges they have made against us,"
Friday said. "But in view of the reports in the press, I
categorically deny that any University policy or practice is being
used to coerce or intimidate any University employee."
Friday was in Atlanta Thursday and was unable to be reached
HEW charges of
UNC
coercion
for comment. Colleen O'Connor of HEWs Office of Civil Rights
declined to comment on the charges.
"The matter is in the hands of our lawyers and I don't think it
would be appropriate to comment at this time," O'Connor said
Thursday afternoon.
As of late Thursday, UNC officials still had not received any
official word from HEW about the charges.
"We've been in touch with our lawyers in Washington, but
nothing has come our way yet," said Richard Robinson, assistant
to the president. "We can't very well do anything until we hear
something. Right now we're just going on Mr. Friday's
statement." ,
Documents filed by HEW Tuesday as a part of an
administrative proceeding, charged the University system with
illegally interfering in HEWs process of gathering information
for a hearing scheduled for next March.
HEW is seeking to cut off the $89 million UNC receives
annually from the federal government. Last spring UNC went to
court to prevent HEW from cutting off any funds until the
administrative hearing.
An affidavit filed by one professor within the University
system supported HEWs contention that UNC officials
pressured employees not to testify.
"HEW already has notified the court and us of its intention to
call as witnesses a long list of University officers and employees,"
Friday said. "The University has not attempted and has no
intention whatsoever of attempting to interfere with the right of
any person to testify at the hearing."
Last week the University took another step in the legal process
when it sent a revision of its stand on duplication and
desegregation within the 16-campus system.
Complete plan delayed
Israel to move settlement
JERUSALEM (AP Tempers flared at the
opening of a debate on the settlements in the West
Bank as the Israeli Cabinet met in special session to
decide the fate of one outpost declared illegal by the
Supreme Court and to discuss overall settlement
plans.
The five-hour meeting ended in agreement to move
the Elon Moreh settlement from a hilltop near the
Palestinian city of Nablus, but decisions on a
comprehensive settlement program were delayed
until another meeting within 10 days.
The cabinet appeared to break no new ground
since it first met after the Supreme Court ruling Oct.
22 when it agreed to evacuate the settlement. The
session left the government in an angry and
potentially dangerous conflict with Gush Emunim,
the powerful settlement movement which built Elon
Moreh.
After the session Begin appointed Tel Aviv
businessman Yigal Hurvitz as the new finance
minister and moved the outgoing finance minister,
prime minister for domestic affairs.
No one was named to replace Moshe Dayan, who
quit last month as foreign minister in a dispute with
Begin's Likud coalition over the future of the West
Bank. Begin's aides said it may take weeks before a
replacement is named.
Begin won approval for his Cabinet
reorganization in a meeting of coalition leaders, but
it was not clear when the ministers would assume
their tasks. A law must be amended to allow Ehrlich
to become a second deputy prime minister along with
Yigael Yadin.
Begin also created an Information Ministry to help
maintain the balance among his coalition partners
and named Moshe Nissim its head. Nissim was'
previously a minister without portfolio.
The addition of Hurvitz strengthened the
Cabinet's hawkish wing. Hurvitz walked out of the
Cabinet 13 months ago in protest of concessions
Begin made with Egypt in the Camp David peace
talks. He is a strong advocate of West Bank
settlements.
If the Elon Moreh settlers refuse to leave by the
Nov. 21 Supreme Court deadline, it could set off
internal government feuding with the potential of
toppling Begin from power.
"I can't say what will happen. We won't sit
quietly, that is certain," said Benny Katzover, elected
leader of the 100 settlers at Elon Moreh.
The Cabinet meeting on the settlements was a,
dress rehearsal for what could be a bitter fight
between the government's hawkish and dovish
wings.
Israel Radio reported angry exchanges between
Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, champion of the
ultra-nationalist settlers, and the Cabinet doves led
by Defense Minister Ezer Wcizman.
Weizman reportedly warned that the government
cannot operate under pressure from Gush Emunim
and Sharon.

From Staff Report
UNC basketball for the men and the
women gets underway tonight in Carmichael
Auditorium as both teams play intrasquad
Blue-White games.
The women's first public intrasquad game
begins at 6 p.m. followed by the first public
scrimmage of the men at 7:30.
It is the first time the UNC men have played
two Blue-White games before the regular
season. The second game will take place at 7:30
p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10.
Smith said the additional intrasquad game is
being played because UNC does not have any
other exhibition games in Carmichael this year.
The Tar Heels travel to Anaheim, Calif.. Nov,
24 for a game with the Athletes in Action in their
other exhibition game.
"The main thinking behind the game was,
with the Athletes in Action game away, there
would only be one exhibition here,"Smithsaid.
"Everybody complained that the one Blue
White game was sold out early and they couldn't
get a ticket"
Smith said he is generally pleased with UNCs
performance since it opened practice Oct, 15.
"I've been pleased with the attitudes for work.
anies tonight
The veterans have good work habits and the
freshmen have picked them up."
Smith, concerned with the number of times
"we've thrown the ball away" in practice, said
junior Al Wood and senior Mike O'Korcn have
had particularly good practices.
"I thought Wood and O'Korcn did extremely
well defensively the first two weeks," Smith
said. "(Rich) Yoruker has been an excellent
screener, playing the bevt he's pUycd."
Yonaker, now with a cave of pneumonia, w ill
