The controversy arose when the University proposed a zoning ordinance amendment which would allow the University to build a new hangar at the airport. This new hangar would service and house small aircraft used by Area Education Center programs. UNC Planning Director Gordon Rutherford said the University's primary concern was for medical aircraft and their maintenance. The aircraft would service N.C. Memorial Hospital and the medical school. The amendment seeks to eliminate all flight training at the airport, thus limiting instruction to the classroom. The University has no desire to expand the size or scope of the activity at Horace Williams Airport," Rutherford said. The proposed zoning ordinance has stirred opposition from the Coker Hills residents because they are worried about nobe and about the safety of children attending the nearby Estes Hill Elementary School. The school board and area residents cited a letter sent by the University in 1$70 which stated its intention to phase out the Horace Williams facility. It was after this letter, the residents stated, that elementary schools were built in the approach path of the airport. The residents, however, were unable to produce a copy of the letter, and University officials denied that such a letter was written, 'Chairman of the Board of Education Phyilis Sockwell said the primary concern of the board was the protection of students, faculty and staff, and she asked that the council take measures to phase out the airport by 1990. Chapel Hill Flying Club President Tom Wagner said the airport has had a perfect safety record for more than 20 years. Pilot Joan Thompson submitted a 1970 study on the noise produced by small aircraft flying over Cha pel Hill. The study showed the noise level was within the limits of the town's noise ordinance. The noise created by the aircraft was cited as being equivalent to the noise produced by a passing automobile. Council member Joe Straley called the study invalid because it did not measure the sound produced at 75 feet, the height specified by the ordinance. He also said that an airplane at 1,000 feet cannot be judged accurately enough within the town ordinance's criteria. 3 AIRPORT on paQO 2 DTHJay Myman ...'not yet pre n c'vlno cpr;ch In r,1cmsfbl Hill pared to conceds North Carolina' Voters still unsure c o A. ! I I- 71 T r . i 'if By JIM HUMMEL State and National Editor Independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson brought his campaign to Chapel Hill Tuesday, saying the support he had on the UNC campus showed the strength cf his candidacy in North Carolina and the nation. I am not yet prepared to concede North Carolina to (President) Jimmy Carter or to Ronald Reagan," Anderson told a crowd of approximately 2,500 people in Memorial Hall. This is going to be a close election, and we need your help." Anderson cited results of a mock election held at UNC Monday as an indication that he was a legitimate contender for the presidency. The voters gave him 36.1 percent of the vote, compared with 34.6 percent for Carter and 26.5 percent for Reagan. , There is speculation, encouraged by the Carter people, that my campaign is a spoiler. We don't think it's spoiling the election process to encourage millions of people and give them a realistic alternative to a two-party choice," he said. ; Anderson's brief stop in Chapel Hill was his second visit to North Carolina since announcing his independent candidacy April 24. He made a campaign appearance in Raleigh last spring. Anderson said many people have faulted him for relying on support from college students across the country. lt is not a sign of weakness to appeal to the young people of this nation," he said. "I am gripped by the conviction that this generation of young Americans has not lost its idealism, and I don't think I waste my time coming to college and university campuses to appeal for help." Anderson delivered his 20-minute speech to a full house and received three standing ovations and numerous rounds of r By DAVID JARRETT Stall Writer '. '.' Abct't 2,500 st.udents packed into Memorial IlelU. ' y to hear Join Anderson speak, but many of them still do not know which candidate they will vote for in the November presidential election. "He didn't say too much that we hadn't already heard," said Al Wester, a senior Spanish major from Henderson. "Nothing meaty came out of it." Karen Fulghum, a freshman political science major from Wilson, agreed but added, I thought it was a good speech and it stirred the students." Following the speech, Anderson representatives said the candidate was pleased by the crowd response. He said it was one cf the best receptions he ever had," said Clive Stafford Smith, an Anderson campaign coordinator. The Illinois congressman's appearance in Chapel Hill was clearly a special event. About 50 reporters, many representing television networks, nationally known newspapers and N.C. , television stations, crowded into a news conference at the Carolina Union an hour before the main event. After the conference, two buses took Anderson and entourage to Memorial Hall, where many students had been waiting more than an hour. A small band had entertained them while they waited. n CFOWdOl After reporters and dozens of cameramen found room at the front of the hall, bright lights began to flash and cameras began to film the crowd and the fast-talking, well-dressed newscasters. Minutes later, Anderson emerged from the rear corner of the stage waving and smiling'' in response to a standing ovation;'" Secret Service personnel stood at the four corners of the stage, while other security personnel were stationed among the crowd. "Everything went very peaceful," Lt. C. E . Mauer of University Police said, adding that the Chapel Hill Police Department had joined University Police and the Secret Service in providing security for Anderson. Students sat in window sills and stood outside open windows under umbrellas to' hear Anderson speak. Many said they were interested in Anderson's views and were excited to have a presidential candidate campaigning in Chapel Hill. A lot of people are getting the idea he is (a viable candidate)," said Anderson supporter Janet EstwistSe, a senior economics international studies major from Charlotte. , She added that Anderson's victory in UNCs mock election M onday showed that college students who supported Anderson were willing to vote to prove it. - I was hoping for a more specific type of speech," said Neil Gordon, a senior industrial relations major from Farmvillc. Gordon said he generally agreed with Anderson's views on domestic issues but needed to hear more especially about his views on defense to decide whom to vote for in November. V "X applause. ' . The independent candidate said he was not deterred by public opinion polls that showed little gain in his popularity since a nationally televised debate with Ronald Reagan last week. He said although he planned no new political strategy before Nov. 4, he would continue to seek broad-based support within the electorate. "I am here in the South because it's a great part of the country and this is a national unity campaign," Anderson said. uVe want to give the country the unity and direction it has lacked for so long. It's just as applicable here as it is in ether parts of the country." Anderson said he night stop in another part cf the state on his next visit but said he had no d -finite plans to return to the North Carolina campus before election day. "Obviously we only have five weeks left and the schedule gets tight We're going to have to travel extensively to gain support, and we're running out of time," he said. Anderson said the 317-page platform that he and his Democratic running mate, former Gov. Patrick Lucey cf Wisconsin, drafted addressed the key issues now facing the United States. ' "(It) outlines the Anderson-Lucey ideas for the '80s around which we can unite. The re are many times when you have to take a stand on an issue, even when it's unpopular, if you feel it's in the best interests cf the nation." In a news conference before the rally, Anderson criticized the president for failing to take steps to ensure the United States would have an adequate oil supply in emergency situations. Anderson also said he favored the federal government's anti smoking campaign and added he would eliminate tobacco price supports, a stand which drew immediate criticism from North Carolina officials.

In announcing the shipment of the highly sophisticated planes, U.S. officials said the deployment was temporary .nd stressed the move did not mean Washirgton was taking sides in the Iran-Iraq war. "The United States government unequivocally reaffirms its position cf neutrality," said Pentagon spokesman Thomas D. Ross. "This deployment is purely for defensive purposes. It is designed to track aircraft for the purpose of providing additional warning for Saudi Arabian defenses," Ross said. Saydi Arabia has indicated its support for Iraq in the fighting with Iran. Hov.ecr, U.S. II. defense officials said they had no reason to believe the Saudis would be relaying to Iraq any military data provided by the American radar planes, known as AW ACS. Ross told a Pentagon news briefing the decision to deploy the aircraft was made in response to a request from the government of Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, in Iraq, Iranian airplanes attacked Baghdad's, nuclear research center Tuesday in a renewal cf the deadly air war against the Iraqi capital, but the atomic reactor was not damaged, the Freneh Embassy reported. The United Statei and the Soviet Union stepped up international pe-ce efforts, and the head of an Islamic peace mission taid he wat hopeful for an end to the war. But in Tehran Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhol'.ah Khomeini d:f.ar,t!y. rejected calls for a cc.ne-fire, saying Iran would . ! ft " i 1 M Km not compromise and would not be satisfied unirl the Iraqis were driven from Iranian soil.
