" ",w"o"1 Wednesday, January 27, 1982fThe Daily Tar Heel3 Town reaches goals, coiuubicil told By ANNA TATE DTII Stan Writer Improved roads, higher arrest rates and new library books, are some of the lowrTs goals met this quarter, according to a report presented to the Chapel Hill Town Council at its regular meeting Monday nighf. : ' Interim Town Manager Ron Secrist presented his progress report to the coun cil, summarizing some of the town's ac complishments in the past four months. In this quarter, Chapel Hill completed 10.7 miles of town streets, the report said. It also said new books and library equipment would be purchased with $14,000 raised by the Friends of the Library Book Sale. Mayor Joe Nassif proposed that discussion on the future uses of the old police building on Rosemary Street be postponed until after the new fiscal year, which begins in July. Shared transit funds Cooperation of towns By ALEXANDRA McMILLAN DTH Staff Writer Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham and the North Carolina Department of Trans- , portation are under pressure from the federal government to begin closer coor dination of their transportation planning, town transportation planner Danny Plea sant said last week. Because of the designation of Chapel Hill and Carrboro as part of the Durham urban area under the recently released 1980 census, the three local departments of transportation will begin sharing tran sit funds April 1. Chapel Hill and Carrboro will receive federal transit funding under Urban Mass Transit Administrations Section 18 pro gram for non-urban areas through March 31. But because of their new inclusion in the Durham urban area determined by a population of 50,000 or more within a certain area Chapel Hill and Carrboro will become eligible to receive transit funds from the UMTA's Section 5 pro gram for urban areas in April. The" requirement that Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Durham work . together with the state DOT to coordinate trans Union chief sought By LYNN WORTH DTII Staff Writer , The Carolina Union is looking for peo ple with good leadership potential and organizational abilities to apply for the position of next year's Union president. One important presidential respon sibility is overseeing the Union Activities Board, which plans and implements the Union's educational, cultural and enter tainment programs said Larry Ellis, cur rent Union president. "The Activities Board Consists of the Union committees, the president and two permanent Union staff members. We meet weekly to make decisions on pro posed programs," he said. . "A president has not only to make sure the plans for programs are proceeding on schedule, but must also make sure the chairpeople are keeping their heads above water." Union programs for this 'semester in clude films, Broadway on Toiir Shows, special interest classes, speakers and cultural presentations such as the North Carolina Symphony. Other duties of the president include presiding over the Union board of direc tors, representing the Union in the media and at University functions, and oversee ing policy and disbursement of Union funds, Ellis said. He said the job got hectic at times, but MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., resturant and bar " 151V2 e. rosemary street chapel hill, n.c. 27514 967-4696. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 27 2 for 1 special with coupon any sandwich FREE with the" purchase of 1 at the same price r -f Secrist said three public safety statistics were especially worthy of recognition. One statistic is that fire loss in Chapel Hill as of Dec. 31 totaled $37,280, a signifi cant decrease from last year's total ' $99,810, he said. Also, arrest rates of 16.6 percent for major crimes and 12.3 percent for burglaries exceeded the nationally accep table standards of 15 percent and 9 to 12 percent respectively. The high arrest rates may be partially due to 20 Community Watch programs and 56 civic meetings on crime that have been held, Secrist said. Although no decisions were made, Secrist presented the council with a report expressing a need for alternative police patrol vehicles. "This issue is significant because of the cost of operating patrol vehicles, which averages $50,000 annually for fuel alone," the report said. K added that the comfort, performance and safety of the portation planning is causing these groups to feel pressure. "As an extension of the Durham Ur banized Area, we will be required to become part of their Metropolitan Plan ning Organization, an umbrella organiza tion which includes a Transportation Ad visory Committee made up of local policy makers, and a Technical Coordinating Committee, which includes planners and engineers who advise the TAC," Pleasant said. ' "Neither we, nor Durham nor the state DOT have enough time to get a coordi nated planning framework before April 1," he said. "We have been getting information about this almost daily for months, and we've had to wait on numerous sources of leadership, including Congress, before we got the final notification." The change in the source of Chapel Hill and Carrboro's funding from Section 18 to Section 5 will occur in the middle of fiscal year 1982, which is part of the rea son that the involved organizations "haven't seen the urgency" of getting coordinated yet, Pleasant said. "We have been made aware that this is urgent, that there is a deadline on the UMTA funds," said Rudy Griffin of the it was rewarding. "You Jearn bout working in small cgroups ...'.about working witrnna budget about finding but what your consiV tuents want and how you can meet that. . "In a lot of ways it's been a headache, but that's par for the course. In many more ways it's been a learning experience and a reward," he said. Any regularly enrolled student is eligi ble to apply. No previous experience with the Union is required, Ellis said. Applications are available at the Union desk and are due there by 5 p.m. Thurs day. Ellis said anyone having problems with the application or the deadline should see him in 200 Union or call 967-1157. Applications will be screened by a group from the board of directors and .then interviewed by the board. The presi dent will be selected by the board Feb. 3.

The report recommended that four Toyota Corollas be replaced by seven Chevrolet Impalas for patrol use. Council member Bev Kawalec disagreed with the idea of buying the Im palas, saying that they are larger and less fuel-efficient. "The town seems to be asking its citizens to save energy when the town is not willing to do so," she said. Council member R.D. Smith said the larger Impalas were safer and more com fortable for patrolling officers who work 12-hour shifts. In other action the council unanimous ly approved a request for a public hearing March 15 on a proposal to close part of the right of way on Carolina Avenue. Following the meeting, the council members attended a work session on pro posed ordinances for Condominium con version. Grainger Barrett, Chapel Hill deputy sought Durham City Department of Utilities and Traffic. Under the new guidelines, Durham will receive all the UMTA money and will then allocate it to Chapel Hill and Carr boro as the Metropolitan Planning Or ganization. The MPO by then will include members from Chapel Hill and Carrboro. "We're hoping that we can get some sort of a sign-off from Durham allowing us to receive directly the Section 5 money until we car? all get organized," Pleasant said. Durham has not used any of its Section 5 allocation, which is available for three years after the year allocated, because its transit system is privately operated by Duke Power, he said.. Because of this, Chapel Hill and Carr boro will be able to request future fund ing from this $4 million balance. Both the Section 18 and the Section 5 Programs provide 50 percent subsidization. Pleasant predicted that combined trans portation efforts between Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Durham will not take ef fect soon, but that it was likely that there eventually would be a coordinated major streets and highways plan. Williams From page 1 "You steal quite often?" the attorney asked. "I won't answer that question," the boy replied. "Oh, you'll answer it son, you'll answer it," Binder said. When prosecutors objected to that line of questioning, Cooper had the jury V taken out and called the attorneys to his bench for a conference. The judge then called a brief recess. Earlier Tuesday, Ruth Warren, who lives in suburban Rockdale County, iden tified Williams as the man she saw with Geter at Stewart-Lakewood shopping center Jan. 2.

Barrett added that the second or dinance presented to the council (Or dinance 2) was more similar to one that the state would likely adopt, and would be easier to work with. speech From page 1 Reviewing his first year in office, the president said "we have made a new be ginning, but we have only begun." He said that had he not pursued a policy of tax and spending cuts, "things would be far worse for all Americans than they are today. Inflation, taxes and interest rates would all be higher. "1 believe history will remember this as an era of American renewal; remember this administration as an administration of change; and remember this Congress as a Congress of destiny," he said. "What we do and say here will make all the difference to autoworkers in Detroit, lumberjacks in the Northwest, and steelworkers in Steuben ville who are in the unemployment lines; to black teen agers in Newark and Chicago; to hard pressed farmers and small businessmen; and to millions of everyday Americans who harbor the simple wish of a safe and financially secure future for their child ren," Reagan said. The president proposed putting a cap on benefit programs operating under con gressional mandate, and said his plan could save $63 billion over four years "without affecting Social Security." In a brief reference to foreign policy, Reagan said that "toward those who would export terrorism and subversion in the Caribbean and elsewhere, especially Cuba and Libya, we will act with firm ness." "When action is called for, we are tak ing it," he said. "Our sanctions against the military dictatorship that has at tempted to crush human rights in Poland and against the Soviet regime behind that military dictatorship clearly de monstrated to the world that America will not conduct 'business as usual' with . the forces of oppression. i "If the events in Poland continue tp deteriorate, further measures will follow," he said, without further ex planation. He said his program would continue with two priorities: "a strong national defense ... and a reliable safety net of social programs for those who have con tributed and those who are in need.

Rinfret said Tuesday. The 11.1 percent increase is not exorbi tant, said Rinfret, who cited the increased costs of labor, food and utilities as reasons for the rate hike. The increases in Granville's rent for 1980 and 1981 were 14.2 percent and 12 percent, respectively. "We're trying to make educated guesses;" Rinfret said, referring to fac torssuch as the economy the manage ment considers when determining the rent. "You've got to realize these changes will be in effect through May '83," Rin fret said.

The majority of students' money goes toward the purchase of food, which Granville supplies through a meal plan. Paying rent entitles Granville resi dents to 19 meals a week. Students will receive official notice of the rent changes Monday when they pick up housing applications for next year, he said. Each year, Granville receives more housing applications that it can accom modate, and the rush to see who gets a room often results in confusion. This year the system has been changed to avoid some of the long lines and con fusion, Rinfret said. Packets will be delivered to students' mailboxes. Then, Rinfret said, "They'll have two weeks to get (the applications) back. Last year the rooms were filled within five hours.
