I' Thursday, April 26, 1984The Daily Tar Heel5A 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 From page 1 By JIM HOFFMAN Staff Writer 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. 11 Ail The Class of '84 is to be congratulated on its many outstanding accomplishments, Senior Challenge '84 being one of them.

Pledges will be accepted by Carolina Annual Giving, 303 South Building (962-2336) through commencement on Sunday, May 13.

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. From page 1 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." teach-in From page 1 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.
