L The Chapel Hill Humane Society will begin a door-to-door check today to verify whether the town's cats and dogs have been vaccinated against rabies; The owner will have three days to get the animal vaccinated and call the society if the animal has not been vaccinated. The reason for the check, officials say, is that a rabid bat was turned in to the Orange County Health Department recently and they want to prevent a possible spread of the. disease. Although officials say they do not want to prosecute pet owners, the pet can be impounded if it is not vaccinated in the three-day time period. The pet owner will have to pay a fine and make an appointment with a veterinarian iedl stmdemts lose By DETSI SIMMONS Staff Writer Some parents who live in Odum Village married student housing are upset by the sudden discontinuation of an after-school day care program in which their children were enrolled for the fall. James D. Condie,' director of University housing, announced last Wednesday that the Community Service Building which the University was providing free of charge for the after school program would not be available again this fall. . The after-school program, developed a year ago, was an experimental extension of the Victory Village Day Care program already provided for the residents of married student housing, Mary Bridger, director of yictory Pa b lie p o licy ge ts curriculum status The newest curriculum on campus is . teaching students how to shape public policy. ' In August 1979, Public Policy Analysis was established as an independent curriculum, no longer associated with the Interdisciplinary Program. Thirty students currently are enrolled in the program. Last spring, the program had its first graduating class. Four students earned degrees in public policy analysis. The curriculum emphasizes ethics in forming public policy, Professor Duncan MacRae Jr., chairman of the program, said. It also encourages students to consider others' 'welfare when making policy, MacRae said. "The notions of right and good are impdrtant for public policy analysis," he said. "We want people to ask 'What's good for the country, the world, the state? " Many students in the program are double majors and most double in political science and economics, MacRae said. Introductary courses in macroeconomics and microeconomics are prerequisites for entering the program. TED AVEUY 3wE 1 4E ADD A Start with a zh$ Cud ... two cr threo.Va havo many u.wj j c iwi ii v.

"People ought to care enough about their animals to pay $10 for a vaccination," said Carolyn McKay of) the Humane Society. The Humane Society expects to find many cats which have vnot been vaccinated against rabies, despite the fact that cats have been included in the rabies ordinance for quite a while. This is the first time cats will be checked for a vaccination. The Humane Society held two clinics in July at which animals were vaccinated for $4.50. Another clinic is planned tentatively for October. , KAREN HAYWOOD Village said. Between 10 and 15 Odum Village children participated in the program last year. Bridger added that although the University provided the space at: the Community Service Building,, the parents paid fees to run the service. Lydia Lewis; , manager of student family housing, said the decision was made after a great deal of thought and consideration. "Last spring some problems arose," Lewis said. "Guidelines were set up for the program that were not carried through. "There was a continued unacceptable condition of the day room and complaints from other Odum Village residents about the condition of the room," she said.

SSaff V riter , Plans for a stoplight at the crosswalk at the NCNB Plaza continue, despite funding problems and protests from UNC Student Government. A resolution to place a crosswalk and stoplight in front of Morehead Planetarium and a stoplight at the NCNB crosswalk was passed by the Chapel Hill Town Council in June. Since then, the North Carolina Department of Transportation has Conducted a .study that showed the NCNB stoplight to be feasible. Tne funds needed to install the light are not easy to obtain, said Dwight Kelly, traffic engineer for the state highway department. "We're still trying to get the money from Raleigh to build the stoplight. We have a critical situation with our funds," 'Kelly said. - . . - He added that each highway project must compete statewide to obtain a position on the highway department's priority list for funds. . Although plans for the stoplight are under way, mixed feelings remain among members of the Town Council, UNC Student Government and the ' Transportation Board. Council member Marilyn Boulton said she and her daughter almost were . hit crossing at the NCNB crosswalk. "When you almost get hit yourself, it makes you realize the danger. It (the ' stoplight) will not get here soon enough for me," she said. Bruce Tindalr cf the Transportation Board said he did not think a stoplight was' necessary, however. "I like it the way it is, because pedestrians have ', Incred.bW ttttto sound ' - . from these (?a;ttht ? ,V '-'i . . hadphoni' Advanced . V - . . drivers gtve you rh.

J a t?tV3 J i i il priority, he sa;d. Student Body President Bob Saundsrs said he also! opposed the NCNB stoplight. The additional stepl:ht will cause the state to have to synchronize six consective lights on Franklin Street, he said. This will; increase the danger to pedestrians because people will try to beat the lights instead of slowing dawn at the crosswalks, he said. Saunders said he planned to work with Tindall and the Transportation Board in an effort to convince Town Council members that the stoplight is dangerous and that they should reverse their opinion. - Student Government and Tindall do, however, support the crosswalk and pedestrian-activated stoplight at the planetarium. I A pedestrian-activated stop light will turn red only when a pedestrian presses a button on the light pole. Student: Government had been asking the Town Council to approve a crosswalk at! the planetarium and considers this a success. I "It is really a Pyrrhic victory for us," Saunders said.! Kelly said Chapel Hill has asked the highway department to study crosswalk conditions before one is built at the planetarium. The study, which involves a count of the number of people crossing the street and the number of cars traveling on Franklin Street past the planetarium, will begin this fall. "We must wait until school gets back in. We're waiting for the most opportune time," he said. No date has been set for the stoplight or the crosswalk. Each awaits funding or studies. r j a St b 0.
