restricts
joggers
By JIM HOFFMAN
Staff Writer
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
passed an ordinance Tuesday night that
makes it illegal for joggers to run at night
without wearing reflective gear.
The ordinance, introduced by Alder
man Hilliard Caldwell, specifies that run
ners must wear reflective clothing when
jogging within one half-hour after sunset
to one half-hour before sunrise when they
are within five feet of a roadway. The
reflective material must be able to be seen
at a distance of 200 feet, the same
distance required for bicycles. Offenders
will be subject to a $5 fine.
The board also agreed to instruct the
transportation advisory board to set up a
safety campaign to be held during the fall
to inform residents about the new law
and other aspects of road safety.
James R. Yankaskas, a local jogger
who opposed the ordinance, said the law
would be enforced selectively only in the
case of an accident.
Joyce Garrett, the only alderman to
vote against the ordinance said that she
was concerned about the enforceability of
the law, too. She said that she saw just as
many people walking and asked if the law
would apply to them as well as joggers.
Town Attorney Michael Brough said
that in its current form the law would not
concern walkers and that he did not see
any problem in police discerning walkers
from joggers.
He said that the law would be enforced
somewhat like speeding laws are enforc
ed. "If a motorist is speeding and sees
the police officer, hits the brakes and
slows down before the officer clocks him
then it's just as if he wasn't speeding,"
Brough said.
In other business, the board agreed to
meet in closed session with a Chapel Hill
committee to try to work out an agree
ment concerning proposed thoroughfare
plan.
At a meeting Monday night the Chapel
Hill Town Council decided to rescind all
previous decisions they had made on the
plan and instructed Chapel Hill Mayor
Joe Nassif to appoint a special committee
to develop a unified throughfare plan
that would be agreeable to both Chapel
Hill and Carrboro.
The two towns have reached a stand
still in the development of a plan because
they disagree on the extension on Estes
Drive to the proposed 1-40. Carrboro
wants the extension included while
Chapel Hill does not.
Speaks to local supporters
Gilmore confident of primary victory
By TOM CONLON
Staff Writer
Stressing issues in the governor's race
based on his recent endorsements,
Democratic candidate Tom Gilmore said,
"We're going to win, and we're going to
win big on May 8th."
Gilmore spoke Wednesday night to 100
people at the Holiday Inn, where he held
a $5-a-person wine and cheese reception.
Also attending the event were Johanna
Ettin, president of the North Carolina
National Organization for Women; John
Gastineau, a candidate for the Orange
County Commissioners; UNC law pro
fessors William Murphy and Daniel
Pollitt, and Joe Straley, former Chapel
Hill town councilman.
Among the 50 students in attendance,
most were from the law school, including
Graduate and Professional Student
Federation President Tom Terrell.
"There's no way we're not going to
win we're right on the issues,"
Gilmore said. "Every organization that
has looked at the record has endorsed
me.

UNC is attempting a new technique to
boost the number of top academic
students entering the University. Attract
ing these students is important, said
Tony Strickland of undergraduate admis
sions. "We did some surveys among better-than-average
students and found four
major reasons why they don't attend
UNC," Strickland said. Lack of an en
gineering department, few non-need bas
ed student loans and scholarships, little
recognition of student accomplishments
and not enough personal contact are the
major stumbling blocks.
And since admissions officials have lit
tle to do with engineering and scholar
ships, they decided to tackle the problems
of recognition and personal contact.

Tar Heels top Wake Forest, 8-4
By LEE ROBERTS
Staff Writer
Normally a late-season conference vic
tory to gain a tie for first place is cause
for post-game celebrations, but North
Carolina's 8-4 win over Wake Forest
Wednesday in Boshamer Stadium had the
opposite effect.
Coach Mike Roberts called a post
game meeting and the players followed
that with a closed-door session of their
own to discuss some team problems.
What's wrong with a team that cracks
17 hits and three home runs in one after
noon? "We're disappointed with the attitude
of the players when they have come to the
park lately," senior infielder Mitch Mc
Cleney said. "We are making way too
many mental mistakes and we shouldn't
be doing that with the quality of players
we have on this team."
Certainly the Tar Heels played well
physically Wednesday, outslugging the
Deacons for their 10th conference victory
of the season to two losses, but a few

Association of Educators, the AFL-CIO,

National Organization for Women, The
Carolina Peacemaker (a black Greens
boro paper), The Jamestown News &
Guilford Gazette, and The People's
Alliance, a Durham-based citizen's group
fighting for environment and tax reform.
Gilmore, who stands at about 6 percent
in recent Democratic gubernatorial polls,
said the polls mean nothing more than
those who pay for them. "I never be
lieved in polls anyway, but tell me if
you've ever seen a poll taken by a candi
date that did not give the result desired.
"A recent poll showed all my op
ponents to have a high percentage of sup
porters who may change their votes,"
Gilmore said. "Ingram was highest with
87 percent, and the others were all over 50
percent. I had 23 percent the most
solid base of support."
Gilmore said people will vote according
to the issues and will see him as a dif
ferent candidate who has a clear record of
accomplishment.
"The 1985 General Assembly will fnnH
to attract top students
athletes and tor speciiis. vuou. ....... ,
Strickland explained. "The only way to
get the top students may be to give them
money.
"We do absolutely nothing for many
top students. So we decided to try to do
something a little bit special."
This year, the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions started a pilot program in an
effort to compete with the heavy re
cruiting of other schools, especially the
private universities.
Departments were surveyed to obtain a
list of possible prospects for student con
tacts. The list was comprised mostly of
juniors and seniors who had been iden
tified as high quality students, and also
some students from Phi Eta Sigma, the
freshman honor society. "It's a chance
for students here to talk with a student in
the same position they were in two or
three years ago," Strickland said.
Visiting students usually arrive about
11 a.m., Strickland said. They meet their

mistakes were evident.
Tar Heel pitchers combined to walk
nine Wake Forest batters, there were a
couple of base running mistakes and a
few plays in which players did not back,
up the correct bases.
After the players' closed-door meeting,
shortstop Walt Weiss, who had four hits
on the game, promised the mental
mistakes will be corrected very quickly.
Like today at 3:00 against Liberty Bap
tist. "A lot will change," Weiss said. "You
will see a lot of hustling out there. We are
a real good team and we won't fall
because our heads aren't; in the game.
We'll be ready to play tomorrow."
One encouraging fact, Weiss said, is
that North Carolina was talented enough
to defeat Wake Forest despite the fact
that it was not at the top of its game.
Weiss started a torrid hitting day for
the Tar Heels in the first inning by doubl
ing to left-center field and stealing third. ,
After a walk to Jeff Hubbard, Weiss
scored when Deacon pitcher Mike
Featherstone balked in an attempt to pick
education first that's a commitment,"
Gilmore said. "We will have a separate
education budget from the general
budget."
Women and minorities will be ap
pointed to cabinet and other positions in
Gilmore's administration, on a basis
equal to their population in North
Carolina. He added that since women
made' up half of North Carolina's
population, "it's time to utilize the talent
we have in this state."
While Gilmore did not mention any of
his competitors' names, he said some can
didates were trying to buy the governor's
office by spending large sums of money
in their campaigns. "I've pushed for a
debate so people can vote on the issues,"
he said. "But some of the candidates are
still hiding behind their 30-second televi
sion commercials and not willing to take
stands."
Gilmore, the owner of a Julian nursery
business, served in the N.C. House of
Representatives from 1972-1978 and as
deputy secretary of the N.C. Department
of Human Resources from 1979-1981.

"We have good students applying,"
Strickland said. "We are just trying to in

, Individual student guides are part of an
effort to increase personal contact with
UNC applicants. "We look , for good
students, usually with a 3.0 or better in
their major, who feel they can discuss
their major and courses as well as things
like dorm life and good and bad experi
ences with registration," 'Strickland ex
plained. "This helps them to be in a bet

"We hope to get the invitations out

things seem to be working, we can then
gauge the efficiency of the project and
hopefully expand it."

'Phoenix'
$20, 000 still to be

Halfway through the Campus Govern
ing Council Finance Committee budget
hearing Wednesday night, the committee
had cut $19,485 of the $39,470 it needed
to cut in total student government ap
propriations to student organizations.
During recent budget hearings, the
Finance Committee allocated $39,470
,more than the $225,000 it has to ap
propriate for the next fiscal year.
In addition, the committee planned to
consider later Wednesday night a request
for a $5,985 appropriation to Student
Television.
The committee- hoped to resolve the
deficit Wednesday night in order to pre

April 14.
The committee voted to allocate the
1985 Fine Arts Festival $1,045, as oppos
ed to the $18,390 the group received from
the CGC for the last festival. During
budget hearings the group was tentatively
awarded $14,453, but that figure was
drastically cut because the committee felt
student support for the Festival wasn't
strong enough to justify such a large
allocation.

group should come back for a subsequent
appropriation. "The money we've
allocated should allow the Festival to
make their contacts and hopefully, do
some substantial fund-raising," he said.
Ashley Lefler, co-chairperson for the
Festival, said, "I know these are rough
times financially, but I am understand
ably disappointed. I feel very strongly
that the Fine Arts Festival is a tradition
that needs to be carried on."
Dome Pentes, co-chairperson for the
Festival, said, "Of course it's bad that
we've received this budget, but we will do
everything we can to make the Festival as
good as possible. I'm not sure exactly
what will happen, but I know there will

BSM was originally allocated $12,805 by
the Finance Committee during the recent
budget hearings. Sherrod Banks, BSM
president, volunteered a $1,000 cut in the
BSM budget and the committee took off
$190 more.
The $1,000 cut offered by Banks came

Headlining this year's Springfest will
be Let's Active, a North Carolina pop
band with a national following.
Mitch Easter, the famed producer of
R.E.M., the dB's, Pylon, the Pressure
Boys, and Art in the Dark, leads Let's
Active. Easter's Drive-in Studios in
Winston-Salem, once his parents' garage,
has become one of the hotbeds of
southern pop. The "Mitch Easter
sound," for 'which' these groups are
noted, goes a long way toward describing
Let's Active.
Let's Active formed in the fall of 1981.
Guitarist Easter and bassist Faye Hunter,
who were high school friends in Winston
Salem, share the lead vocals. Drummer
Sara Romweber, a resident of Carrboro,
was a member of another band when
Easter approached her about joining the
band at one of R.E.M.'s early shows.
And there was Let's Active, a name sup
posedly derived as a spoof of pidgin
English.
Whether the band members like it or
not, they're cutesy like Pop Tarts,
Coca-Cola and Smurfs. Each of the three
band members has a floppy, British-style
haircut. Romweber said her haircut was
inspired by a Dr. Seuss character. The
players seem naive and pure although
they are not.
The same goes for the band's songs.
The six cuts on the group's EP, Afoot,
are lightweight, cheery and absolutely
pop.
The lyrics, which the band members
are inclined to consider dark, are, at their
darkest pure pop, words of broken rela
tionships. Romweber said that the band wanted
to please everybody on the EP. "The
songs were intended to sound light," she
said, adding that the band's newer songs
were a little heavier.
. Easter recently produced a forthcom
ing R.E.M. album and some songs for
Marshall Crenshaw. Let's Active just
completed an exhausting five-week na
tional tour by van, opening for Echo and
the Bunnymen. Somehow, Easter has had
time to write some new songs.
"We've very anxious to work on a
record 'cause we've got a lot of good
ideas," Romweber said.
Let's Active will perform all the songs
from Afoot Saturday. The rest of the
show will include songs written since the
EP was recorded. A lot of older songs
have been dropped from the show out
of boredom, Romweber said.
. The players in Let's Active seem' ex
cited about Springfest. "I like playing at
universities more than anywhere else,"
Romweber said.
