Village Cable rates will rise
in June for Cinemax, Showtime
By VANESSA WILLIAMS
Slaff Writer
Village Cable has scheduled a rate in
crease that will go into effect June 10.
General Manager Lu Stevens said the
increase was necessary because Village
Cable had continued to lose money.
"We are striving to break even, and
raising rates is necessary," she said.
Rates will increase for the three tiers
of service, Cinemax, and Showtime,
according to a letter from Village Cable
to Town Manager David Taylor. Tier
one will increase from $8.50 to $9.35
per month. Tier two will increase from
$10 to $1 1 per month and tier three will
increase from $13.45 to $14.75 per
month.
Cinemax and Showtime will increase
by 50 cents per month, but rates for
Home Box Office and The Movie
Channel will not increase at all.
Residential installations will cost $30
after June 10 and charge of service calls
will be $15.
Showtime and Cinemax rates have
not increased in the past three years,
Stevens said, although HBO and The
Movie Channel rate; have "Showtime
is now on par with HBO in quality and
programming and they have increased
their rates," she said.
The new rates will not bring any new
channels, but the Arts and Entertain
ment channel will be expanded from six
hours a day to 20 and will broadcast
from 8 a.m. to 4 a.m., Stevens said.
Alert Cable, the cable franchise for
Carrboro, currently does not have any
plans for rate increases, according to
Pete Pettis, vice president of Alert
Cable.
Donna Mitchell of Horizon Video
Productions, Inc., said she thought the
Village increases were probably
reasonable. Jim Hcavner, owner of
Village Cable, bought it when interest
rates were very high, she said.
"It takes a while for a cable group to
build and establish the system before a
profit can be made," Mitchell, who
chairs a Carrboro committee on cable
television, said. Heavner built the
Village system relatively quickly, she
added.
ESPN and Cable News Network
have gone up on the rates they charge
Village Cable as well, Mitchell said.
ChapelHill-Carrboro thoroughfare negotiations fail
By MARJOklE MORRIS
Staff V riter
The Chapel Hill Town Council will submit a local
thoroughfare plan to the North Carolina Board of
Transportation, excluding Carrboro, as a result of deci
sions made by the Council and Carrboro Board of
Aldermen Tuesday night.
Negotiations between Chapel Hill and Carrboro to
adopt a joint thoroughfare plan failed again, as a pro
posed compromise plan came up on the agenda of both
towns Tuesday night.
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen voted against the
compromise plan proposed by Carrboro Mayor Jim
Porto; the Chapel Hill Town Council voted unanimously
for it, upon the condition that Carrboro pass the iden
tical plan. Since Carrboro rejected Porto's compromise,
Chapel Hill councilmen will submit their own plan to the
BOT.
The compromise proposal was developed during a
closed meeting held April 17. Representatives of the two
towns and the transportation department attended the
meeting, where Porto's compromise not to include the
extension of Estes Drive east of the U.S. 15-501 bypass
was made.
Carrboro's insistence on including the Estes Drive ex
tension has been the major reason why Chapel Hill
refused a joint plan.
If Porto's proposal had been adopted by the Carrboro
aldermen, the street plan would have been excluded in
exchange for further study of the bypass area.
The state transportation department would have con
ducted the study of traffice needs for the 15-501 bypass
to decide on possible changes in the thoroughfare plan.
In other action, the Town Council heard from Town
Manager David Taylor who presented the budget for
1984-1985. Taylor said the best features of the $14.8
million budget were a balanced budget, no increases in
property taxes,-nd a significant increase in state shared
revenues.
He said the need for property taxes might arise with
nigh inflation, major changes in city services, and a
drastic change in the economy.
The Council also voted not to approve any develop
ment in the local fioodplain until the Town Manager's
staff could complete a drainage study involving zoning.
Taylor said he expected the study to be completed in
July.
The Council voted to ask the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers to begin a study on drainage problems in
Chapel Hill, so problem areas could be defined and con
sideration for future funding to the flood area could
begin.
Carrboro Board of A Idermen hire new city manager credits

The Carrboro Board, of Aldermen hired
Robert W. Morgan, Farmville town ad
ministrator, to be Carrboro's new town
manager, after a 45-minute closed session
Tuesday night. Morgan, chosen from 143
applicants, will begin work May 29.
In other business, the aldermen rejected
a resolution proposed by Mayor Jim Porto
to rescind the thoroughfare plan they ap
proved on Jan. 31 and to request that the
N.C. Department of Transportation
undertake a study of the entire plan.

Senior Challenge '84 is the largest pledge gift ever undertaken by the senior class of any univer
sity. Pledges will be accepted by Carolina Annual Giving, 303 South Building (962-2336) through
commencement on Sunday, May 13. To help make this the best university visitors center in the
nation and to join the list above, send in your pledge today. The total number of senior pledges
and pledged amount will be announced by Susan Sparks, Senior Class Presidsent, at commence
ment ceremonies in two weeks.
The resolution was proposed as a result
of a meeting between the Chapel Hill
Town Council and representatives of the
Carrboro board. It fell, however, in a 4-2
vote after the motion to vote was made by
Alderman Doug Anderson and seconded
by Hillard Caldwell. They were the only
two to vote for acceptance of the resolu
tion. The requst of the DOT study would en
tail that they study the entire design of the
plan and bring the two towns together in a
compromise. Debate over the past several
months has been over the inclusion of an
extension of Estes Drive to the east side of
Chapel Hill, and the proposed 1-40. Carr
boro supports the extension while Chapel
Hill does not.
Porto said the study would reveal alter
native ways to construct the Estes exten
sion. He also expressed concern that DOT
would accept any unified plan whether it is
adequate or not.
The other board members including
Alderman Joyce Garrett and Alderman
presidential
Zona Norwood, disagreed. They said that
if they passed this resolution they would
have no leverage in getting the extension
included into the plan.
The board also voted against using a
portion of Westwood Cemetery to build a
federally-funded housing project for the
elderly and disabled.
The unanimous vote against using two
or three acres of land to build the housing,
came after a group of about 60 residents,
led by Wallace Womble, chairman of the
Cemetery Committee, protested the plan
during a public hearing.
The board also unanimously agreed to
place the question of whether or not to
allow the mayor to vote on all issues before
the board on the 1985 election ballot.
Currently, the mayor votes only when
there is a tie among the six aldermen.
Most of them agreed that the action of
voting will make him more accountable
for actions taken by the board. They agree
that the public should be aware of how the
mayor stands on issues.

approach and reducing the federal budget
deficit.
"I fear for our future if the leaders of
my party continue with their present
policies," he said.
Concerning tobacco, Hart said he was
opposed to immediate efforts to end the
current price-support system. But he sup
ports a plan for a scaled-down version of
the current system that would encourage
farmers to switch their farm production
to other crops.
Hart predicted he would do well in
North Carolina, against Mondale and the
Rev. Jesse Jackson but did not say
whether he was capable of beating Mon
dale in the May 8 primary.
"If we have a large turnout, we'll do
better. We've done better in states with
primaries generally than caucuses, and
we've done better in the West and South
than in the industrialized North."
Hart, who campaigned last week in
North Carolina and spoke at UNC, trails
Mondale in the number of delegates to
the national convention 1,128.8 to 626.
The day was marked by repeated ques
tions to both candidates about Mondale's
request that his independent delegate
committees disband. The committees,
backed by political action committees
tied to labor, have raised thousands of
dollars in campaign contributions. Hart
has filed a complaint with the Federal
Elections Commission, saying that Mon
dale used the committees to exceed limits
on contributions.
"I decided to just get rid of the
delegate committees so we can get out of
the controversy they've caused," Mon
dale said. "The FEC permits these com
mittees. They're perfectly legal. But since
they have been controversial, I'm putting
them behind me."
Hart told reporters he understood that
Mondale said he never wanted the con
tributions from those committees. "In
January 1983, he said he wasn't going to
take the PAC money, yet he's already
taken it," Hart said.
After talking to Troxler employees,
Hart stayed at the plant to film a televi
sion commercial to be distributed nationwide.
them back," said Deaton.
But today, he said, there is a different
attitude among college students in favor of
more responsible use of credit.
"College students today are much more
responsible than they were in the '70s," he
said.
Banks and credit card companies pro
mote card offers to students in order to get
more long-term customers for their par
ticular card, since people who sign up for a
card tend to stick with that card once they
get it.
"Studies indicate you have a checking
account at a convenient place to where you
work and live," Deaton said. "It's dif
' ferent with credit cards. If you establish an
NCNB credit card, that credit card may be
an important part of your financial
package for the rest of your life."
For students, the problem with getting
credit is that they are greater risks for the
companies that provide credit.
"They typically do not have a well
established credit history, permanent in
come, or solid employment. We look for
indications of responsibility," said
Deaton.
Some of the things credit companies
look at include the student's grade point
average, whether or not the student has a
checking account, and what kind of in
come the student may have. Most students
are approved for credit, Deaton said.
"In our file we find that about 75 per
cent of our students are approved."

calling the moderation idea "a justified
meandering toward doing anything."
As an example of Greensboro's image,
Chafe cited the Greensboro school system
as the first Southern system to comply
with the Brown v. Board of Education
Supreme Court decision that ruled against
discrimination. But it was not until 17 -years
later that integration actually was im
plemented, he said.
Concerning government involvement
with the Klan-Nazi case, Garrow, an ex
pert on race relations in the South, said the'
public tends to give more credit to the
government's knowledge of these
organizations' activities than is due. He
did say, however, that he felt that the jury
selection of only whites was unfair.
