Jim Hunt's administration during an hour-long debate Monday calling it a political machine, while Hunt responded with the ease of an experienced politician. During his opening statement, Lake produced visual aids, one of which was labeled "Hunt's Political Machine," showing photographs of Hunt,,, state AFL-CIO President VVilber Hobby, Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development Howard N. Lee and his assistant, Eva Clayton. At the request of Hunt and moderator Wally Ausley, Lake removed the props. Lake charged that Hunt had made political payoffs by federal job-training contracts to a company headed by Hobby. "Hunt and Hobby met in 1976 to build a coalition," Lake said. "Hobby bragged that he had access to CETA (Comprehensive Employment Training Act) funds." Lake demanded that Hunt prove the HuntHobby deal was not a political payoff. "I'm disappointed that Sen. Lake is using such tactics here tonight," Hunt said. "I think we ought to get down to the real issues of the campaign." Hunt defended his record with the CETA program, saying he had removed two of the top people in Lee's department because of CETA controversies and claiming that less than 1 percent of the CETA funds had been proved to be misspent. "The CETA program has been one scandal after another with the misappropriation of funds," Lake said. "One year ago Hunt was told by state auditors that funds were being misused and Hunt has done nothing." Hunt referred to his administration's record of bringing almost 3 00, (XX) new jobs in business and industry by encouraging new investment in the state. Hunt cited his progress in education and his efforts to reduce crime in the state. . . Lake kept -an aggressive, combative tone throughout the debate while Hunt often chose to ignore the challenger's comments. Lake demanded Hunt comment on a quote in which the governor referred to the Panama Canal Treaty as a great victory. Hunt ignored the question. Lake attacked one of Hunt's key programs which outlines proposals for day-care and family planning. "We don't want our day-care centers to end up like the Soviet Union's," Lake said. "I don't want our day-care system to be like the Soviet Union's either," Hunt replied. ' Hunt and Lake differed on the use of tax money for abortions, which Hunt supports and Lake opposes, and on the Equal Rights Amendment, which Hunt supports and Lake opposes. The debate, sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the N.C. Association of Broadcasters, was held at Meredith College. Approximately 150 people were allowed into the auditorium and security around Hunt was tight as it has been since he began receiving threats against his life three weeks ago. i j lea -W.v It 3 Gov. J'm Hunt ' ...ignored Leke's questions Trippers9 used By JEFF BOWERS Staff Writer The newly created J bus route has been plagued with severe overcrowding in its first few weeks of service, with many students forced to find other ways to get to campus. The bus which leaves Old Well Apartments and Greenbelt Apartments at 7:40 a.m. usually carries more than 70 people, many standing in the aisle. At other peak times, three buses must be sent to accommodate all the passengers, said one J bus driver. "I try not to ride the bus in the morning," said Leah Gabriel, a first year graduate student who lives at Greenbelt. "I usually get a ride to campus on other -days except Mondays," she said. Maurice Jackson, a senior who also lives at Greenbelt, said he rarely rides the bus. "I usually ride my bike," he said. "It's badly overcrowded in the morning, but that's not such a problem for me because it stops at Royal Park first and I get a seat," said junior Charles Reid. "Occasionally I walk since it's only a mile or so." "We're trying to monitor ridership on that route and provide back-up service when needed," said Bill Callahan, assistant director of the Chapel Hill Transportation Department. The back-up service consists of extra buses or "trippers" following a regular bus and picking up any passengers left by the first bus, he said. if) Callahan said the D and N routes also have needed trippers duing peak hours. "But the J route is by far the worst," he said. There is no legal limit on the number of people allowed to ride a single bus. "We set a standard of 65 to 75," Callahan said. "We generally leave it to the discretion of the driver." The town will receive 16 new 35-foot buses in mid October to replace some of the older buses. Callahan said the new buses will not solve the overcrowding problem because they will have fewer seats due to federal regulations. Annie Sharpe, who drives the J bus during the morning, said Monday, that . sometimes three buses are hot enough for all the passengers. "Sometimes the " trippers get filled and people are still left behind," she said. "It seems like it's even more crowded than the C route was last year," Sharpe said. In late August, the C route was split into two routes. The northern half of the route remained the C route, , but the southern half along the bypass and Jones Ferry Road became the new J route. "We really didn't think it would eliminate all the overcrowding," Callahan said. "It (overcrowding on the J route) is going to continue to be a fact of life out there where there is such a high concentration of people."

Prime Minister Menachem Begin apparently has postponed plans to move his office to the annexed Arab sector of Jerusalem, government sources said Monday. Begin's new office, with a view of the Mount of Olives, has been ready, for two weeks. But the prime minister has not sought his Cabinet's approval for the move and sources close, to him were unaware of - intentions to raise the subject in the future. President Jimmy Carter's special envoy to the Middle East, Sol Linowitz, warned Begin last week that moving his office would harm talks with Egypt on Palestinian autonomy in the occupied West Bank of Jordan and the Gaza Strip. Linowitz has described the Jerusalem issue as the most difficult obstacle to an autonomy agreement. Egypt wants Jerusalem's 100,000 Arabs, who were under Jordanian rule along with the 700,000 West Bank Palestinians until ' 1967, to . vote for a Palestinian autonomous council. Israel said that wou!d lead to a de facto rcdivision of Jerusalem, which was united by en Israeli annexation law three weeks after the Jordanian sector was captured in the Six-Day War. During five hours of private talks with the Israeli leader, Linowitz appealed to Begin to improve the atmosphere for negotiating with Egypt. He told reporters it was in this context that he raised the office issue. Sources-Mid Cejin "made no commitment to Linowitz to refrain from action. "Linowitz talked but Begin just listened. He didn't say yes or no," one official said. At the same time, Begin never announced when he would transfer his office and he can claim he has made no concession to the U.S. or to Egypt on the emotionally charged Jerusalem issue. His office no w is cn the western edge of Jerusalem near the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament. Asked about his plans during the Linowitz trip.

"We're having a party. We want to say 'Happy Birthday, Buddy Holly,' and if he were alive, he'd be invited," said Cat's Cradle manager David Weaver, a devoted Holly fan. "We're net trying to mike a lot of money tcrJcht, the bands are phying free and there's no cover charge. We're just selling beer and having fun," he said. Three groups the Psuedes, Broken Hearts and Stubborn Stains plus members of other area bands, performed Holly's hits of "VczzV Sue," "It's So Easy," "Heartbeat," "Maybe Baby," "Ready Teddy," "Oh Boy," " You're So Square" 'and "Net FcJe Away," whllz the Eudlcnccd d-inced a rr.odrrn rendition of the twist. ; The '.roups .!,-;o played 50s and'60s songs end some criinl uerks.

Staff Writer If the results of a University Department of Housing survey show that students and their parents are unsatisfied with dorm visitation policies, they could be changed one more time. Residence Hall Association President Peggy Leight said Monday she will discuss the results of a recent survey with Director of University . Housing James Condie when they are tabulated. Dorm residents and their parents were asked to fill out the surveys this summer. Leight said RHA could make a proposal to change the visitation policy if students and parents say they want it changed. "In the past, when the freshman come here it's not the freshmen, it's the parents who get so alarmed when they find out (their children) are living in a coed hall," she said. Leight said RHA wants to make sure the rules of the visitation policy arc clear. The present visitation policy, established in April, is 10 to 1 a.m. weekday and 10 to 2 a.m. on weekends. Leight said she expects the survey to show that the parents are a little more conservative than the students and want limited visitation. "Going on the survey RHA held two years ago, most students are pretty open-minded in the coed dorms and do not want to open them completely but might want to extend (visitation)," she said. "But the people in the one-sex dorms would probably want to leave (visitation) like it is." Several dorm residents and their parents confirmed Leight's speculations. "I don't like w aking up in the morning to go to my 8 a.m. class and having to stumtle over s tv" ri some guy to get to the bathroom," said La Vie Ellison, a sephcrr.crc resident of Ruffin dorm. Her mother agreed. "(UNC) seems to have a very lenient visitation policy," said Lima A. Ellison of Eden, N.C. "And I personally think it is as lenient as cr.c should have in a learning situation." Mark Miehal, a freshman Graham resident, said he thinks the vLitalicn pc'iey is fine. His mother, Nancy MlchaJ cf Hkh Point said students in coed darms are losing a lot more than they're gair.i.-g, like "the freedom of being able to dress the way you want to and go in and cut cf people's rooms." "Mark's harpy in the dorm he's in," she said. "If he chce to to to the ether one we would have to ti!X about it, but he is cf ?;e." flit l !
