Kroger mall Thursday, October 22, 1981The Daily Tar Heei3 Three seats available to expand By ALEX AN DA McMILLAN 1)111 SUIT Writer Chapel Hill may get a new locally owned bank in early 1982 and some other new businesses soon as the Kroger Plaza shopping center expands. Further construction work on the Vil lage Bank would begin with approval by the Chapel Hill Town Council of an ap plication for a special use permit that would allow construction of a drive-up window at the bank, contractor Van Coleman said. A contractor has begun work on a structure to house the bank, but work on the interior awaits the permit approval. The Town Council will vote on the ap plication at its meeting Monday. If the application fails, the bank will reapply for the permit, Village Bank president Charlie Roupas said. Construction at Kroger Plaza began in April, and cost about $350,000. There are spaces for five stores or businesses, in cluding the bank. An insurance company, a clothing store, a photography studio and a printer will be located in the newly-constructed area. The businesses, which leased the spaces before construction started, .will begin opening in aout two weeks, said Coleman, manager of Kroger Plaza and the contractor for the construction at the shopping center. r r. - rr W A- ,a if.IL....LUja u E ight tuu fo r school ho ard OTHErotu Builders work on expanding Kroger Plaza in Chapel Hill ... five businesses will move in by early 1982 "The failure of the Town Council to accept the application has caused a one-and-a-half-month holdup in the progress of construction," Coleman said. Roupas said Village Bank needs a drive-up window to compete with the ex isting banks in Chapel Hill. A Chapel Hill ordinance requires that all drive-up windows be attached to ex isting buildings, which is not possible in this case, Coleman said. Local residents and students have bought stock in the full-service bank, which will place special emphasis on the needs of small businesses and consumers, Roupas said. "A number of people were involved in the organization of the bank," Roupas said. "Chapel Hill is a rapidly growing mH expanding com strong demand for a local banking insti tution. : . "The Kroger Plaza is the location the bank was approved for, and we feel that it would be difficult to compete in Chapel Hill without a drive-up window; so if the council denies the application, we will re apply for the permit. "If they continue to refuse the appli cation, we will have a difficult decision to make, whether to find another location for the bank or to eliminate the drive-up window or something else," Roupas said. Each of the businesses has an individual as proprietor, Coleman said. "People have gone away from the trend of working for somebody else. These new businesses are local operations which serve local residents." . By FRANK KENNEDY DTH Staff Writer The Nov. 3 election for Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board seats will feature eight candidates running for three seats. , Incumbent board members Ann Wileman, Ted Parrish and Verla Insko will be challenged by five others: Julio George, Wallace Hill, Ron Strom, Harold Black and Louis Serotkin George, a professor in the UNC School of Education, said school management and policies were his primary concerns. Hill, director of social work at N.C. Memorial Hospital, cited a long-standing interest in the local public schools, v . "I've had five kids to put through the schools," said Hill, who now has children in the second, fourth and 12th grades. Strom said his working, knowledge of the schools would be a great asset to the board. "I've had tremendous experience and exposure within the community," he said. ' - Black comes to the campaign with a background in finance, and he said the school budget was where he hoped to play a ma jor role. - , ; An associate professor of finance in the UNC business school, Black's background in finance includes recent work for the Na tional Credit Union Association. Serotkin, a career educator, said his election tq the board would be his personal contribution to Chapel Hill. "My main objective is to get citizens involved in the, schools. We need to make use of everyone, especially the retired com-. munity," Serotkin said. liberals Of the three incumbents, Wileman has served the shortest time, having been appointed to an open seat in 1980. But Wileman said she had met many challenges in her first year and felt ready to continue for four more. "The No. 1 problem affecting schools economically is infla tion," Wileman said. "This means we must make wise choices and devote continued attention to the services the school pro vides.. ' "I'm ready to meet that challenge of meeting the needs of our children." . In 14 years, Wileman has worked on the elementary, kinder garten and university levels, both as teacher and supervisor. She is a three-time PTA president. . Incumbent Parrish agreed that still challenges would have to be met by the next board. "Recent federal (funding) cutbacks mean we are faced with making difficult decisions regarding the schools," Parrish said. "Such decisions require the knowledge of experienced board members such as myself." Parrish, a policy adviser for Governor Jim Hunt, has three children in Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools. Insko said experience was the key to a successful board. "It is important to continue what we have started. For ex ample, we initially set five-year goals for raising the test scores of students who are underachievers." Insko said a high priority of the board would be to increase the potential for computer technology in the schopl system. "We've done a lot of cutting back lately, and we're way behind the rest of the state in many areas," Insko said.

Preyer said: "I think Democrats and liberals are going to have to come up with a new kind of liberalism to win public of fices. -Times have changed so that we'll never come around to a liberal Democra tic leader like Franklin Roosevelt again." Preyer said a redefinition of liberalism, while maintaining social compassion, must recognize that productivity, not tax ation, would create the wealth for the kinds of social programs liberals advocate. Two senators, Gary Hart, D-Colo., and Paul Tsongas, D-Mass:, both of whom started their careers as traditional liberals, are now recognized as leaders of the new liberalism Preyer described. Hart, who received national recogni tion as campaign manager of George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, today questions many of the stands McGovern embraced. Hart feels liberals , should no longer consider Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal-type programs as dogma and should be willing to experi ment with new programs. "Too many liberals are becoming con servatives by defending the status quo," Hart said. "We must root new economic concepts designed to fulfill a compas sionate, unfinished social agenda in the market rather than the bureaucracy." Tsongas is another advocate of redefin ing liberalism. Elected to the House in 1974 and the Senate four years later, Tsongas consistently has had one of the most liberal voting records in Congress. In a speech before the Americans for Democratic Actions recently, he com mented on traditional liberalism. "Liberalism is at a crossroads," he said. "It will either evolve to meet the issues of the 1980s, or it will be reduced to an interesting topic for Ph.D.s." r SETT TJElnJ AOEWALS!
