Residents of the Coker Hills West
residential area, who strongly advocate
the closing cf the Horace Williams
Airport, presented a petition with 466'
signatures supporting their cause, to the
Town Council at a Monday night public
hearing.
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.

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

'. '.' 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.

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.

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.

WASHINGTON (AP The United States is
rushing four special early warning radar planes
to Saudi Arabia to help strenghen the oil-rich
country's air against a possible spread of the
war between Iraq and Iran, the Pentagon
announced Tuesday.
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

not compromise and would not be satisfied unirl
the Iraqis were driven from Iranian soil.
The Iraqi invasion force continued to
encounter tough rcshtarxc in Iran's embattled
Khuzcstan province.
Iraqi ircrps were locked in battle with
Iranian defenders six miles south cf the
provincial capital of Ahwaz, which is 50 miles
inside Iran and believed to be a key target cf the
Iraqi offerer. e.
Seventy miles icuth cf Ahwaz, hard-pressed
Iranians were reported still holding elf Iraqi
troops at theport cf Khcrram .hahr and the
