i V: CGA pushes awareness By LYNDA WOLF Staff Writer The Carolina Gay Association is sponsoring Gay Awareness Week beginning Monday. Workshops, open discussions and social functions are all part of the annual event to help people who are coming out and to help increase the general popula tion's awareness about homosexuality, the CGA has announc ed. '-.'' The CGA is starting off the week with a coming-out work shop on Monday, March 21 . A speaker from the Human Po tential Movement will highlight the workshop, said a CGA re presentative. All films previously scheduled for the week have been canceled, the CGA said. Tuesday evening's theme is "Where to Go, What to Do: Gay Life in the Triangle." Among the speakers and represen tatives slated to appear are the Metropolitan Community Church, the State Gay Coalition, Dignity, Parents of Gays and many more. Wednesday's discussion, "Spirituality and Homosexuality," will center around problems in reconciling the two issues. Representative from the Mtrrrvl;tan Com munity Church of Raleigh and a local clergyman will lead the discussion. "Being Gay, Being Sane," is the theme of Thursday even ing's activities. Psychiatrist Thomas Sherratt and clinical social worker Maureen Malone will discuss the emotional and psychological problems lesbians and gay men face and mental health resources in our area. Each day's program begins at 7:30 p.m., except for Mon day's program wWi begins at 7:00 p.m., the CGA representative said. Refreshments and a social hour are scheduled each night at 9:30 p.m. The Union desk will provide information on meeting locations, the representative said. Blue Jeans Day will close the week again this year. On Fri day, March 25 , the Carolina Gay Association asks that all gay men and lesbians and everyone who supports the gay rights movement wear blue jeans as an acknowledgement of their lifestyle or their support. The goal of Blue Jeans Day is to make the general population more aware of the pressure which society places on gays, the CGA said. More information on the week's events is available from the CGA in Suite D of the Carolina Union. Friday, March 18, 1983The Daily Tar Heel3 ocal bus fares could increase By PETE AUSTIN Staff Writer ' Bus fares for the Chapel Hill Transit system may go up next year if federal funds fall short of the expected mark, Alan Tobias, administrative assistant to the transportation director, told the Chapel Hill Transportation Board Tues day night. Presently, fares, federal funds and Chapel Hill funds each account for about one-third of the operating budget for the system, Tobias said. "Right now, we expect no decrease in federal funds," he said. But in case there is a shortfall, Tobias said he wanted the board to know of the necessity of an in crease. The Town Council approved a rate in crease, beginning July 16, 1982, as part of last year's fiscal budget, Tobias said. The approved hike raised box fares from 40 cents for all rides to 40 cents for normal hour rides and 50 cents for peak hour rides, he said. The cost of a student bus pass went up from $95 to $112, he said. Transportation Director Bob God-, ding presented several possible single-ride rate increases, ail of which included a flat 20 percent increase in the pass rate. If only the pass rate was increased, he said, ridership would drop by an estimated 5 percent. If ridership fell off by as rnueh as 10 per cent, revenues would be $633,016, he said. However, if the Town Council raised the single-ride fare by. 10 cents to 50 cents and 60 cents, revenues could be as much as $720,291, he said. In a random survey, conducted by the transportation staff, 40 percent of the 225 respondents answered that the bus pass cost was too high. 1 About. 30 percent of the respondents said that they thought the cost of the entire transit system was too high. "No transit is entirely self-sufficient," council member R.D. Smith said. The budget for next fiscal year is scheduled to come before the council May 9, by which date the decision on the bus fare will have been made.
