North Carolina's controversial "bottle bill" is i
scheduled to be introduced to the state legislature
today, and supporters plan to ask for a state
referendum to give the bill the best chance of
passing since its introduction to the state's law
makers in 1973.
The bill would put a five cent minimum deposit
on all soft drink and beer containers which could
be refunded when the container is returned to the
retailer, said one of the bill's co-sponsors, Rep.
Dave Diamont, D-Surry.
The bill has been considered and defeated in
every session of the legislature since 1973, but this
year the bill has been modified several ways.
"The unique feature of the bill this time is that
we are calling for a state-wide referendum,"
Diamont said. "We believe the people should
have an opportunity to vote on this." .
Voters would decide on the bill in November

BYDGOSZCZ, Poland Lech Walesa,
national leader of the independent union
Solidarity, threatened to strike every fac
tory in Poland if the communist govern
ment declared a state of emergency or
imposes a curfew, union sources said early
today.
They said Walesa gave the warning in a
motion he submitted to a meeting of Soli
darity's national commission. The meeting
was called to decide whether to strike over
last week's beating of three unionists in the
government building of this northwestern
city.
The urgent talks opened Monday night
and lasted into the early morning hour.
The union sources said Walesa also had
proposed a suspension of the talks, but
they gave no further details.
Thousands of people milled about out
side the railway workers" club near the
main train station as the union chiefs dis
cussed the worst police-union clash since
Solidarity was formed last summer.

Late night reotan:
By SIIAHON DARLING
Starr Writer
It's 2:00 a.m. You're pulling an all-nighter
for an exam when all of a sudden ths munchies
strike. You reach into the refrigerator for a snack
alas there's nothing there. You decide to
go out for something. But where?
If you don't want to fix it yourself, your
choices are limited, at least in Chapel Hill.
Breadmen's, a late-night haunt for years,
cut back from being open 24 hours to closing
at 3:30 a.m. about a year and a half ago, and
this summer started closing at midnight. "We
didn't want to make one big cultural shock,"
said Bill Piscitcllo, one of the managers, of the
gradual change.
Another late-rJsht eatery, the Dunkin' Donuts
location on West Franklin Street, closed down
completely a few weeks ago.
There were many reasons for cutting back
Breadmen's'' hours, Piscitcllo said. "The late
nijht business did cut down quite a bit. When
we were open 24 hours about three or four
years e;o, the crowd between Kirkpatrick's

19S2 if the state referendum proposal is accepted,
Diamont said. Should the proposal pass, it would
become law in December 1983.
Beer breweries, soft drink retailers, retail stores
and manufacturers of glass and metal containers
oppose the bottle bill, Diamont said.
Owen's Illinois, a manufacturing company
which produces only non-returnable containers,
is one of the groups which is fighting passage of
the bill.
"We are unalterably opposed to any form of
restrictive legislation," said Jerry Ark ebauer, a
spokesman for the Toledo-based company.
Arkebauer said that there was no reduction in lit
ter or waste in the six states which have already
passed bottle-deposit laws. He said the laws in
those states, which include Oregon, Vermont,
Maine and Michigan, have destroyed jobs for
skilled laborers and have cost taxpayers money.
But Diamont said the laws were popular in
those states which had passed deposit laws. "It
has been highly popular in each of these states

Piscitello also cited the moving of Elliott's
Nest as a factor in the decline of late night
business. The nightclub moved from Graham
Street to a location on the Durham-Chapel Hill
Boulevard. r . ;
Financial considerations were another reason
for cutting back. "The expense of late night
was more than it was worth," Piscitello said.
"When you're open for 24 hours you have to
have an extra crew."
One restaurant that decided to venture into
late night service despite the potential problems
was the Looking Glass Cafe, which started stay
ing open 24 hours on Jan. 15. It is the only 24
hour restaurant in Chapel Hill at present.
Manager Shirl Tharp said Looking Glass'
24-hour policy was started "to help business
along, plus every place that had stayed open 24
hours closed and there was just no place to go.
We had a real slow December and January and
had to do something about it."
Tharp said there is a definite difference in the

and each one had a fight similar to the one in
North Carolina before the bills were passed," he
said. "In the state that the bottle bill passed, it
has never been repealed and it is popular, and
that is the main test."
In order to accomodate retail stores which op
pose the bill, the sponsors have included new
features this year. "Another different, feature of
the bill this time is that it will make it better for
convenience stores. We tried to put some things
in the bill for their benefit," Diamont said.
According to the bill's proposals, a store has
the right to refuse to take a container back if it
has any material that is foreign to its contents,
Diamont said. He said this portion was added to
the bill because "the idea is not to turn the
grocer's into a garbage collection center."

allowed a one cent handling charge for process
ing. "The retailer will have to have some space to

"A guy walked through our door last night

He suffered minor cuts.
Bill Livesay, manager of Roy Rogers Family
Restaurant on Mallette Street, also says there's
a difference in the after-midnight crowd. "The
money is the same color green but naturally
after they've been out partying they're a little
rowdy."
Roy's stays open until 2 a.m. Sunday through
Thursday and until 3 a.m. on weekends.
Livesay said he had experienced no crowd
problems after midnight. "I haven't had to call
the police I've never seen a fight in here."
Business after midnight is best on weekends,
Livesay said. "On weekends from 12:00 to

times it's not so good. Five minutes after the
bars close on Fridays and Saturdays they'll start

Public television faces serious financial problems
and threats to its independence if President Reagan's
proposed cutback of funding is approved, public
TV officials said recently.
Reagan has proposed to rescind 25 percent of funds
already appropriated, and would destroy the protection
that non-commercial TV has against politics dictating
its programming. Presently, funds are appropriated
for public TV two years in advance to keep political
manipulation out of programming.
John Ford, planner for the National Association of
Public Television Stations,, said " Reagan's plans
could undermine publwTV's ; insulation from politics.
"Right how," Ford said, "any administration or
any congress can't turn around and pull the plug on
public TV. To rescind even one dollar would under
mine our insulation." "
Reagan's proposal would take back $43 million
of the $172 million already appropriated for public
TV for 1982.
. "It is not a thing for Congress to get involved in,"
said John Dunlop, director of UNC's Center for
Public Television (CPT). The center, based in
Chapel Hill, controls all programming to the eight
public television stations located throughout the
state. CPT was created last April, but public TV has
been on the air in North Carolina for 25 years.
For North Carolina, the effect of any cut in federal
funds will be minimal because only $600,000 of North
Carolina public TV's $4 million budget comes from
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which dis
tributes federal funds. Most of the rest of the money
comes from the state government, and Dunlop said
there are no cuts in the state budget for public TV in
Future Tarheel
"In general, there will be a savings of raw
materials and natural resources because you're
using them over and over again," Diamont said.
Many changes would have to be made if the
bottle bill becomes law. The industry would have
to adopt a recycling attitude toward soft drink
and beer containers in place of the disposable,
waste-producing one it now has, Diamont said.
The retailers, he said, "fight the bill like crazy
because they areconcerned that they will have to
deal with taking the bottles back in. It's an incon
venience for them because they'll have to store
the bottles.
"It will probably cost them something-V he
said. "There will be an initial capital outlay on
their (the retailers') part. We have got to change
the industry back to the way it used to be. There
has to be an economic incentive to change our
lifestyle back to using things over again."

the future. "We get wonderful support (from the
state)," he said.
Dunlop said North Carolina would lose only
about $160,000 from the federal government if
Reagan's budget cuts were approved.
Dunlop and John Young, assistant director for
CPT, said the center had not made plans for how to
handle a cut in funds. "It's got to affect program
ming," Young said. "The exact effects we just
don't know.
CPT raises all the money needed to buy program
ming through fund-raisers. This year's fund-raiser,
Festival 1981, ended Sunday. The event raised more
than half a million dollars for the station.
: Public TV procrr-m ere being indirectly threatened
by other budget c .. Ford said. The money used to
produce public TV programs often comes from gov
ernment agencies such as the National Science Foun
dation. These agencies also are facing cutbacks and
won't be able to provide as much money for new
programs as they have in the past, Ford said.
A bill introduced into the Senate communications
subcommittee by Sen. Barry Goldwatcr, R-Ariz.
would allow pubic TV to explore other ways to make
money, such as limited advertising.
But, TV officials say advertising won't net enough
income to be practical.
"We'd be spending our time making commercials
instead of programming," Dunlop said.
The only way some public TV stations may be
able to cope with the cuts will be to cut back pro
gramming and cancel special projects. Ford said.
"We're doing everything we can to convince the
administration that stations need all the money
they're getting," Young said.
