Student Body President Bob Saunders and council members Joe Straley and Joe Herzenberg have begun looking at ways to ease some of the restrictions in last fall's draft ordinance. , Student Government objected to the strictness of the fall proposal, which included a ban on any outdoor amplified music without a $5 permit , a cleanup deposit fee and deadline and a 10-foot limit on the height at which outdoor speakers could be placed. Noise permits would be available only for weekend nights and would have to be purchased two days in advance. . . Town Council member Joe Straley said he was working on modifying some of the proposed noise restrictions, such as allowing permits to be purchased for parties on Thursday nights as well as for Fridays and Saturdays and raising the decibel limit at certain other times. "I think the community would accept loud music in the evenings if the community was assured there would be a stop pine lime.' Strnlev nid. Straley said the town also had contacted a consultant from the Environmental Protection Agency to provide information on noise ordinances in other cities and on equipment to provide better measures of noise levels. Town Council member Marilyn Boulton said she expected the main issues open for compromise would be the number of nights the decibel count could be exceeded and how high speakers could be placed,' especially in the high-rise residence halls. Saunders said the noise ordinance changes probably would be made either just before or just after Spring Break. He said he planned to meet with all the Town Council members at a work session and possibly hold a public hearing before any new ordinance comes up before the council for a vote. ".Student Government and the Town Council are working ' from two extremes," he said, "because, ideally, . the : students would like to throw out any ordinance and the town would like to stop all outdoor parties." Saunders said he hoped all the student body president candi dates realized that a reasonable compromise between the town and students on the noise issue would h3ve to be reached. "Students can't just wish away the noise ordinance," he said. will stay ITT . 1 ' By KERRY DEROCHI Staff Writer The Elections Board voted Tuesday night to overturn its previous ruling to change the balloting procedures for the February elections. Instead of using a consolidated ballot for the elections, the board ruled (8-4) in favor of having separate ballots, as have been used in the past. The board had ruled last week that a consolidated system would be more efficient. At Tuesday's meeting, however, the subject was reopened, and former Elections Board members spoke against the consolidated system. Thomas Sharpe, the Elections Board member who organized the consolidated plan, reopened the question even though it had .been pushed already.- r-- "I had no idea (hat these people on the board last year would carry as much weight as they did," Sharpe said. "They're fearful of something new because of the chance of a supreme court case; they don't want to save money because we've already been budgeted for it." The Elections Board was allocated approximately $500 for the elections. Under the separate ballot proce dure each race was separated into different ballots by different colors. During the tallying procedures, the ballots were counted and then verified. In the consolidation system, all races would be placed on two ballots. The vote would be counted by a board member who would call names from a list. If the added totals in one race did not equal the number of ballots, ( the board would know something was wrong and redo the procedure, : V , - 't. Sharpe said-"the consolldatkn plan, -which he had worked oh for three weeks, would have saved money! by almost 70 percent of what the separate balloting will cost. Because all the races would have been on one ballot, it also would have saved time in tabulating totals, he said. Elections Board member J.R. Pattisall disagreed, though. , . "The money is not the point here," Pattisall said. "The point here is to run an efficient and accurate race that would avoid litigation afterward." Elections Board Chairman Gregg James agreed with Pattisall. James said last year's vote totals had no errors. "Though 1 like both ideas," he said, "the separate ballot sounds like it might be more accurate and I know it "works; there was no. fear of something iiew involved -.in our decision." ." '. - - Thomas Sharpe Gwmdm muom, wemrs Accounting and marketing majors the most sought after By SHAROYN MARSHALL , Staff Writer Students seeking careers in accounting and sales marketing can expect to be highly recruited again this year based on 19S0 figures released by the Uni versity Placement Services. General administration and computer science majors are hot going to be far behind, either. Joe Galloway, director of the placement service here, said although more liberal arts majors were placed in jobs last year, it was only because they outnumbered other major groups. But, percentage--wise, accounting and other business-related majors received the bulk of the jobs. . "Accounting has always been here and (has been) highly recruited," Galloway said. He added that data processing and computer science also had' become popular majors during the past five years, but that few students were in these majors and the market remained open. The outlook for all these business-related careers seems bright for the next five years, Galloway said. The University Placement Services offers job placement services to University seniors, graduate students and alumni. It places about 35 to 65 per cent in jobs within three months after graduation, Galloway said. "We don't profess to say we place everyone ourselves," Galloway said, "but we offer tips throughout." The heaviest recruiting months are in January and February, but it slows to" almost a halt by Spring Break, Galloway said. "This is the optimum time students will ever have in order to get interviews with companies with little effort on their parts," he said. No recruiters visit the school in the summer. The service does not take credit for jobs students -might get from contacts made through the recruiters. Often a student may find the perfect career opportunity through a recruiter who knows another contact person. Or, as was the case with Dennis Stage, a recruiter.for the National Bank of Georgia, a visitor may find someone who is better suited for a job other than what he initially applied for. Stage was interviewing for management positions at Duke University when he found a student with prospects for an electronics position with his firm. "He would not get a job with the bank in management," Stage said, "but his credentials in electronics were so impressive that I am doing all in my power to get him a job with the bank in the area of electronics." Though business majors seem to be more highly sought after, other majors are not counted out. Stage said that although he mainly sought management-type graduates, jobs for other majors were possible with his company, such as psychology. political science or journalism. Besides jobs after college, some students look toward graduate school as an alternative. University Placement handles this also. Several graduate schools visit the campus. The placement service provides interviews and valuable contacts, Galloway said, but the students must get the jobs themselves. University Placement offers job-seeking workshops, practice interview sessions and other preparatory services for job-hunting students. Drew Saunders, director of industrial relations from the Caterpillar Tractor and Equipment Co. in Charlotte, said students interviewed should just be themselves. Saunders said that a high grade point average was important but not necessary. He said he preferred that students, "don't talk about what they didn'r do, but what they have done," during their interviews. won9t D3Hld ' WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. ruled out on Wednesday any shipment of U.S. arms to Iran including those already, paid for before the American hostages were seized in November 1979. Haig said the Reagan administration would fulfill its obligations under the ssrc?cnt that, .freed jhe .Americans after-444 days of captivity. But he' stressed that the Carter administration had not specifically discussed weapons in working out terms of the settlement. Haig said the United States did not consider the armaments already pur chased as a specific part of the Iranian assets which must be returned under the agreement. Instead, the arms may be sold elsewhere, and cash forwarded to Tehran, he said. In his first news conference, Haig urgently cautioned American travelers to steer clear of, Iran. Similarly, he told American businesses to be careful about restoring trade. Haig also took a hard line toward the Soviet Union, though he said, "It is essential we maintain day-to-day, hour-to-hour contact." He said Soviet intervention in Poland would have the gravest consequences and that the United States could not ne gotiate or ratify arms control agreements ' without considering Soviet behavior around the world. For the time being, at least, Haig ruled out any high-level meetings be tween American and Soviet leaders. Sco HAIG on pago 2 6 7? By RACHEL PERRY Maff Writer t Despite the absence of Carolina Power and Light Co. representatives, a public forum held Tuesday night to air views on SS'.earon Harris Nuder Plant drew heated arguments from residents and anti-nuclear power groups. The Harris plant, which is owned by CIML, is under construction about 20 miles southeast of Chapel Hill in Wake County. Several local groups have opposed construction of the Harris plant, whose first 9OQ.000-kilowatt reactor h vlatcd to go on line in I V35. Three other reactors are scheduled for completion in I9S3, , 1932 and Vm.

Other anti-nuclear group spokesmen commended the task force on the thor oughness of their report, but said the town should take a stand against the plant. "This so-called 'pro-safety position in actuality represents one which meekly accepts the plant and suggests that we befin to plan for the worst," said Dill dimming of the Friends of Chapel Hill. "We find the task force' report to be a document of surrender and a prescrip tion for disaster.'' ; . Phvllis l.ctchin, chairman of the task force, said "We have no plans to change our report or our position at this time." Lctchin said thai certain circumstances, such as the use of highly radioactive p!u tonium as part of the reactor fuel rods, could bring about a reassessment of the task force's position, however. Other speakers questioned the safcts of nuclear power. "The basic design of nuclear power plants, along with human and mechanical errors, precludes abso lute safety," said Daniel Keed of the Chapel H !l Anti-Nuclear Group Effort.
