In a meeting of the Food Service Advisory Committee, Cansler said he would support plans to renovate Lenoir Hall, the Fast Break and Chase Cafeteria. Without these changes, Cansler said, the food service would not be able to operate. Cansler said currently the food service was not viable to students with money being poured into Chase Cafe teria and very little spent on the Pine Room. "The only two options we have is a mandatory meal plan or a fee plan," he said. . After the meeting, however, Student Body President Bob Saunders said he disagreed with Cansler. "I think Cansler is extremely pessimistic in the esti mation of the food service," Saunders said. "I don't think all the options presented to the committee were inclusive; the committee has yet to address the major question of how extensive food service should be on Rmll me Id KC By MARK SCIIOEN Staff Writer A rally protesting a North Carolina statute allowing power companies to pass on part of the costs of building nu clear power plants to consumers drew a handful of spectators to Hanes Hall Monday afternoon. About 20 to 30 persons signed peti tions, held signs and listened to speakers during the protest sponsored by the Envi ronmental Law Project and the Chapel Hill Anti-Nuclear Group Effort (CHANGE). The groups charged that Duke Power Co. was using a statute called Construe- ; tion Works in Progress (CW1P) to force consumers to pay for power plants before , they bszzn operation. Prior to the enact ment of the law, protestors said, power companies had to pass on the costs of construction after the plant was completed. According to Don Hoover, an ac countant for the Public Staff of the N.C. Utilities Commission, CWIP en ables power companies to pass on to consumers the interest and equity involved in financing construction of power plants. This helped consumers avoid inflated rates when the plant was in operation, he said. : , Daniel Read, a CHANGE spokesman, said the law was unjustified and should be repealed. "It's like paying for a car without knowing if it will ever be built for you," he said. E . campus." The committee began work in September to consider long-range plans for the food service and possible reno vations for Lenoir Hall, which houses the Pine Room. The committee is to make its recommendations in April. Saunders said he was concerned with the lack of stu dent opinion being considered in the process. "There were two things I do not agree with, one being I was operating under the assumption that there was no mandatory meal plan being discussed," Saunders said. "I also did not hear a guarantee that a fee would be approved by the student body." Cansler said he would recommend that student hear ings be held, but said he did not see a need for students to vote on a fee because they did not vote on money appropriations for things like the Chapel Thrill concert. One of the proposals discussed by the committee would be the renovation of Lenoir Hall into dining halls and the Pine Room and Chase Cafeteria into snack bars. The cost of renovations in this plan would be $3,130,000. Students would possibly pay $10.25 per semester in fees. Cansler said he would support this plan because it dealt with Chase Cafeteria on South Campus. "Chase Cafeteria just sits there and gobbles up money like an old model Cadillac guzzles up gas," he said. Committee members Mike Vandenbergh and Alisa Breedlove said, however, they would support a plan with only minor changes to Lenoir Hall. This plan would renovate both the dining room and kitchen of the Pine Room, at a cost of about $400,000. Students would then pay $1.30 per semester. "This would be enough of an improvement with the appeal and the atmosphere," Vandenbergh said. "It has a low cost to students and avoids the problem of too much capacity." : The committee discussed other proposals which, if approved, could eliminate the Pine Room as a dining Service, move the Fast Break into Lenior Hall, and close Chase Cafeteria. 1 Carolina Union Director Howard Henry said it would be important to look at the maintenance costs of the systems and to make comparisons with the usage. "We need a food service desperatefy here at the breakfast through lunch period, but other than that, I don't know," Henry said. "There is no way the state will subsidize; it will have to pay for itself either through the cash register or some type of fee." -.v.'--.-.vfeAn466jbx-''V-:4:-:' OTHySoraooa Cortveroarto i i i , i r - ' - '- -"rv - f 5 ' 7 ' iD ' TT Members of tha Food Service Advisory Committea discuss options ...fee hike or mandatory meal plan among the alternatives si Msumn dDjpCBI HdDE H FSICB f3 3 9 r i Din buim' t.iMiwiff.srto.

Wayne State newspaper Protestors gather outsida Hanes Hall to oppose statute ...nuclear plants pass building costs on to consumers By WILLIAM PESO I EL Staff Writer The hoopla surrounding student body elections, which passed from this campus a week ago, will return tonight in the Carolina Union's Great Hall to climax a very close runoff race for three , major offices, including student body president. When the polls open at 10 a.m. at the same polling sites as the last election, voters will choose between Joe Buckner and Scott Norberg for student body president; Jake Kelly and Steve Theriot. for Carolina Athletic Association president; and Andy Harkov and Robert Mann for Graduate and Professional Student Federation president.. Runoffs for Campus Governing Council seats in Districts 13, 16 and 19-23 will be held. The polls will close at 7 p.m. and ballot counting will begin at 8 p.m. Surnmey Orr.-Buckner's campaignrroartagsrsski Monday that because of a lack of time, they did not call campus leaders for approval to use their names in advertisements. Wanda Montgomery of the Black Student Movement and Sharon Parker, Student Consumer Action Union'chairperson, said their names were used by Buckner without permission. "Sharon and Wanda had said they wanted to support Joe," Orr said. "Wanda's name was listed with the BSM (name), which to some people implied the organization supported Joe, which is not true. Sharon wanted SCAU's name out of the ads." During this last week, all candidates have been campaigning. "The main thing I have been really stressing is the things that Student Government does that I am experienced in," Norberg said. "Student Government is a policy representative for stu dents and that is where all my experience has come. I have demonstrated my competence and understanding of the issues." Norberg said his campaign was disturbed by rumors going around campus, but he would not say what the rumors were. "We've been trying to firm up support across the campus," Orr said. "We have got to be sure we will do well in areas like Morrison, Upper Quad and Henderson Residence College. We have been talking about Joe's ability to motivate people and his broad base of experience. We have the support, if we can get the people to come out." . Elections Board Chairperson Gregg James said poll tenders would get more information about procedures to reduce prob lems they had with the last election. "Hopefully, the things that happened last time won't happen again," he said. Between 5,000 and 6,000 students are expected to vote. . Meanwhile, former senior class presidential candidates Brenny Thompson and Debbie Mixon have said they could contest the race. The board certified John Goodwin and Carol .Zieiinski Thursday as the winners. Mixon said Sunday that James had told candidates Joey Hoyle and Bill Carlton before i)u election that they were listed first on the ballot. Hoyle and Carlton had campaigned by reminding voters to vote for the first team on the ballot. Good win and Zieiinski were listed first and Mixon contends some votes cast for Goodwin and Zieiinski were really meant for Hoyle and Carlton. These votes, she said, prevented the race from becoming a runoff between Goodwin and Zieiinski, and Thompson and MLxon. "I see (the appeal) as worthless to me, but for them it may mean something," Goodwin said. "The appeal will hurt their , chances of being elected over Carol and me, because they have gone through the process." Runoff elections will be held for seven CGC seats, six for off-campus areas: District 16: Kathy Dangler, Deborah Levine; District 19: David C. Jones and Phil Painter, District 20: Deborah K. Houston and Donald Munroc; District 21: David Maness and Vanessa Needham; District 22: James Mills and Tom Morris; and District 23: Powell Peters and Mike Vandenbergh. In District 13 (Alexander, Connor, Joynerand Winston dorms), Chip Medlin and Steve Schcr will be in a runoff. ei etmmrim pFompEs peraidDini By DAVID JAPJtETT Staff Writer The editors of Wayne State University's stu dent newspaper, South End, published a petition today that demands their own dismissal and protests an editorial written about the Ku KIux KbnNazi trial in Greensboro. Wayne State is in Detroit. The petition has been presented by the Ad 1 loc Committee to Oust South End Apologists for Racist Murder. Managing Editor Mike Nuttlc, who wrote the editorial in question, said Monday that the group actually consisted of members of the socialist Spartacus Youth League. "The group has a really nasty reputation," Nuttle said. Committee spokesman Bryan Manning said last week that the committee was composed of people with en extreme dislike for the Klan. "It's not a question of this (the committee) being a front group or something," he said. Nuttk's editorial, printed Nov. 25, said that the "not guilty" verdict in the trial was reason able because Communist Workers Party mem- f '"" ''. j, - -vs " bers refused to testify. Not testifying might, have been part of "a cruelly manipulative game," Nuttle wrote. "Perhaps they needed martyrs for art issue that would rekindle the flickering fire of racial animosity." More than 1 ,000 students have signed the pe tition against Nuttle, Editor-in-Chief John Burnett and "this vile apology for racist mur der," according to a committee press release. Nuttle has disputed the figure, and said the organization was securing signatures improperly. "1 signed the petition myself under false terms," , he said. The committee presented the petition to South End editors last week for the third time. "The first time Burnett crumpled it up and threw it in the face of the (committee's) representative," Manning said. Police were called the second time the petition was presented. Nuttle said tbout 25 people came to present the petition end that they verbally harassed Burnett after he tcld thcrn he would not print the petition. Burnett then asked the group to leave, Nuttle said. They refused, and he called the police. The committee members left peacefully once police arrived, he said. "Nuttle said the committee had wanted to make a scene. They're just media manipulators, and I don't think they're very good ones," he said. The committee also has presented the peti tion to the Wayne State Board of Governors and the Student Publications Board, which se lects and would be responsible for removing the editors. Both boards have denied the com mittee's request. "We've exhausted all official possibilities at least once," Manning said. Nuttle believes the committee's failure in these official channels means his position is , secure. "There's no chance of getting rid of me," he said. Manning, however, said the campaign against the editors still had a Chance. "Nuttle and Bur nett are definitely feeling the pressure," he said.
