WASHINGTON Congress seems ready to provide money
lor the bombers and missiles President Ronald Reagan says will
improve the prospects for eventual reduction of nuclear arsenals.
The Senate begins debate today on a $208.3 billion military
spending bill that includes $2.1 billion to begin building 100
planned B-l bombers an approximately the same amout for MX
missiles.
The debate coincides with the scheduled opening of Soviet
American talks in Geneva on limiting tactical nuclear arms.
In a speech Nov. 18, Reagan offered to forego deployment of
medium-range missiles in Europe if theSoviefs would do
likewise. He also urged talks "as soon as possible next year" on
reducing strategic nuclear armaments.
Reagan contends he needs congressional backing for the
nuclear bombers and missiles to show the Soviets that he is
serious about rearming the U.S. military if they do not agree to
his proposals for disarming.
Within hours of Reagan's speech, the House passed its $196.5
billion version of the military appropriations bill, approving
funds for both the B-l and the MX.
Amendments to eliminate money for both projects are ex
pected to be defeated in the Senate.
"We have no feeling we are going to win," said a strategist
for opponents of the B-l, who asked not to be named, "The
question is how much we are going to get rolled over by."
Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, chairman of the subcommittee
on defense appropriations, said last week he expected attacks on
the MX, B-l and other weapons systems, but did not expect any
of them to succeed.
Stevens said he believed Reagan's speech influenced the
House members and would have a similar effect on the Senate
voting.
The Defense Department appropriations bill is expected to be
followed on the Senate floor by appropriations measures for
military construction and the departments of Labor, Health and
Human Services and Education.
Congress is trying to pass as many appropriation bills as
possible before Dec. 15, when the stopgap spending bill it ap
proved last week will expire.
So far, it has passed appropriations only for the legislative
branch and the District of Columbia. Any that Congress doesn't
pass by the deadline will have to be included in another emergen
cy spending measure.
The House, which has passed most of its appropriations bill
and sent them to the Senate, has no legislative business schedul
ed during the week.
Thieves taking more expensive bicycles
By JOHN GOODWIN
Special to the DTII
University Security Services' records
show thieves are stealing more expensive
bikes from the UNC campus. Thirty-three
bikes have been reported stolen since July 1.
Of those bikes, 25 were stolen between July
and October. Their average estimated cost
was $103.
Eight bikes were reported stolen between
Oct. 6 and Oct. 16. Their average estimated
value was $210.
Sergeant Robert L. Porreca, of the Uni
versity police, could not explain the sudden
upswing in the value of bikes that are being
stolen. He said, "I felt cheaper bikes were
more frequently stolen, ones well under
$200." His records verify that this had
been the trend.
The estimated value of bikes reported
stolen between July and October was $25
to $190. Those stolen since Oct. 6 cost
$125 to $2.
Almost all of the less expensive bikes
were not new. Most of the expensive bikes
were described by owners as new or almost
new and well-kept.
Three of the bikes stolen were left un
locked. Owners of the other bikes most
often used cables and combination locks..
Liz Vemey, a freshman living in Kenan
dorm, reported her $270 bike stolen. She
used a cable and lock. "The cable lock
isn't really that good. They snipped right
through it and left it there," he said.
"If anyone has a bike they want to
keep, they ought to get that horseshoe
shaped lock. They're a little more expen
sive but they're insured. They're worth the
money," Vemey said."
The lock Vemey mentioned is sold at the
Chapel Hill Cycle Shop for $26. Owner
Dave Witten said, "I recommend them
(the U-shaped lock) to everyone that buys
a bike from me, but only about one out of
ten buys them."
He said the lock was more expensive than
cables and locks which sell for $7.50 and
they are heavier and harder to carry
around. He said he felt those were the
reasons he had not sold more of them.
Porreca also recommended using the
U-shaped lock. He said, "Stealing bikes is
often a crime of opportunity. Remove the
opportunity with a small investment in a
good lock." He called it the "Roll-Royce"
of locks. "It's about impossible to cut or
break," he said.
Students said the University police
reacted promptly to their requests. Vemey
said when she called the police to investi
gate her stolen bike they sent someone
over immediately, in about ten minutes. I

was surprised."
University police told the students they
would probably never see their bike
again, Porreca said, "we only investigate
when significant evidence is there to prove
who stole the bike. That information is .
rarely there."
Another University police officer, Ned
Comar, said they had been registering
bikes with the assistance of Student
Government's transportation committee
to see if that would cut down on the thefts.
They have registered over 500 bikes on
campus so far, and only one bike stolen
was registered.
"I don't know if that is because they
(thieves) don't steal reigistered bikes or if
it's because people who care enough to
register their bike probably take every
precaution in keeping it safe."
Until more statistics are compiled, there
will not be conclusive evidence that having
a bike registered lessens the chance of it be
ing stolen, but many people feel the heavy
duty U-shaped locks are a major deterrent.

Although liberalism is not as evident
at UNC as it once was, an informal
Daily Tar Heel survey recently revealed
that the University still lives up to its
long-time reputation as a liberal center
of the South. ,
Of 20 students interviewed, 80 per
cent said UNC lived up to its reputa
tion of liberalism, as opposed to the 15
percent who disagreed. Five percent of
the people polled had no opinion. And
of the three out-of-state students poll
ed, two felt that UNC lived up to its
reputation of being a liberal school.
Reasons for opinions that the Uni
versity is liberal vary from the school's
general attitude to its policies con
cerning coed dorms to the diversity of
the student body. Tolerance appeared
to be an important factor.
"They (the University) allow you to
express your opinioni on certain things
.... even if your opinion bugs the sys
tem," said Johnson Hardin, a sopho
more biology major from Gastonia.
The "open-mindedness of the stu
dents" leads to.UNC's liberalism, said
Bobby Jenkins, a sophomore account
ing major from Ellenboro. "People
see things in different ways and
everyone accepts that."
Diversity among their peers was im
portant to some students. "With di
verse people, it's natural to have it
(liberalism)," said Antonio Kendall, a
freshman radiology major from New
London.
"You can just look around campus
and see all kinds of things," said Ed
die Lewis, a senior chemistry major
from Elizabeth City. There's not a
lot of pressure to mold you into the
norm.... No one is shy about voicing
their views."
Zeda Glass, a junior from Oxford,
bases her opinion of UNC's liberalism
on the tolerance of groups on campus
both racially and sexually: "Anything
goes, practically."
Lee Ann Stuntz, a senior journa
lism and English major from Green
ville, S.C., bases her opinion primarily
on the 1980 election, in which most
students declared themselves Demo
crats. "I feel there's a conservative
trend at all the Universities now,
though," she added.
University liberalism can also be il
lustrated by . what is happening to
some of the school's programs, one
student said. "UNC doesn't want to
put too much emphasis into its techni
cal programs," said Art Kernstine, a
senior computer science major from
Warsaw. Kernstine cited the change of
computer science program from an
undergraduate to graduate program.
"N.C. State would never do such a
thing," he said.
"Overall, Carolina is a liberal
school compared to most schools in
the state," said Calvin Bryant, a
sophomore radio, television and mo
tion picture major from Charlotte.
Those students who said UNC did
not live up to its reputation of being a
liberal university said that they had
not known UNC had a reputation for
liberalism in the past.
Aldermen name park; choose company
By ANNA TATE
DTH Staff Writer
In the final meeting before the newly-elected board members
take their seats, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen heard several
recommendations Tuesday from the Law and Finance Commit
tee. , . v . . . ' ..
The board unanimously adopted a resolution naming the
Broad Street Park the Henry W. Baldwin Park.
The membership of St. Joseph C.M.E. Church asked that the
property be named after Baldwin, the original owner and
donator of the land. Baldwin was also one of the stewards for
St. Joseph C.M.E. Church. A dedication ceremony will be held
sometime in December.
The board also awarded a contract for the audit of the current
Community Development Grant funds to John C. Muse and
Company.
Board member Braxton Foushee explained that HUD grant
regulations required an audit to cover the two-year grant period.
"Since John C. Muse and Company already does the annual
audit, we would like to go with them for the smaller community
audit," Foushee said.
The Law and Finance Committee recommended John C.
; Muse and Company because they are already familiar with the
field and work necessary for the audit, according to the agency
for the board meeting.
An additional proposal was passed that corrected a previous
resolution issuing $1,500,000 in Recreation Facility Bonds. The
bond attorneys had discovered an error on the original resolu
tion which was adopted by the board on Nov. 5, 1981.
Town attorney Michael Brough requested that the board
acknowledge the methodology used by state demographer J.
Gregory Williams in compiling a census for Carrboro.
- The board unanimously agreed that Williams and the Office
of State Budget and Management had substantially complied
with the town's local legislation concerning census-taking.
; Brough said after reviewing the figures, he and Finance Direc
tor Jim Baker agreed the office had properly conducted and
verified Carrboro's special census.
