Fees not spent on summer students
By ART WOODRUFF
Tar Heel Staff Writer
"Students are really getting
abused" because summer school
student fees are not being spent
on summer school students, said
Rebel Cole, summer Campus
Governing Council Finance Com
mittee chairman.
About $35,000 of the activities
fee that summer students pay is
allocated by the CGC, Cole said,
but the summer CGC was only
given $592 by the full CGC. The
rest was allocated to student
organizations.
However, according to an
agreement made between the
Student Affairs Office and Stu
dent Government in 1973, all
student fees collected during the
summer must be spent during the
summer or be carried over to the
next summer.
"Some people argue that
enough organizations work year
round (to justify using summer
school fees), but I take issue with
that," Cole said. Few organiza
tions operate during the summer,
he said.
"A lot of the organizations that
are operating now are planning
for this fall," he said.
Summer CGC Speaker Wyatt
Closs said the CGC was unaware
of the agreement when the budget
was approved in April. He added
that the problem was poor
communication.
The agreement, approved by
then Chancellor Ferebee Taylor,
states that the summer activities
fee should be handled by the CGC
rather than the Office of Student
Affairs and that the fees must be
used for summer school students.
The agreement also stated that
the summer fees must be kept in
a budget separate from the aca
demic year and that any summer
fee surplus must be carried over
to the next summer term.
"Summer school students are
paying and they should get some
thing out of it," Dean of Student
Affairs Donald Boulton said.
In the past, Boulton said, he
has had to remind student body
presidents about the agreement
but that it is not his job to police
them.
"I have to assume that every
student body president has that
(the agreement) in his files," he

Frat house faces
condemnation
By ANDY MILLER
Tar Heel Staff Writer
The Chapel Hill building
inspector may condemn the Delta
Tau Delta fraternity house if
around $15,000 worth of repairs
are not made by Aug. 1, the
fraternity's chapter adviser said.
The adviser, Doug Wakeman,
said it was unlikely the UNC
chapter would raise the money.
The chapter, he said, is consid
ering a number of options, includ
ing moving to a new site.
According to Chapel Hill
Building Inspector Leroy Whit
more, the present house at 111
Pickard Lane has major electri
cal, roofing, foundation and
flooring problems.
"Someone could get hurt
there," Whitmore said. "The
spliced wiring and exposed wire
could start a fire or give someone
a shock."
Wakeman, an alumnus of the
chapter, said, "The sooner we
find new quarters, the better. This
comes at a bad time, with mem
bership low."
The fraternity has 12 members,
a number which the national
Delta Tau Delta organization has
urged the chapter to increase,
Wakeman said.
Keith Steiner, national director
of chapter services for Delta Tau
Delta, said, "The University of
North Carolina is a campus
where we want to be represented,
and represented well. Well do
anything to strengthen our situa
tion there."
Butch Weston, alumni coordi
nator for the chapter, said,
"We're confident something will
be worked out."
The fraternity has had diffi
culty attracting new members
because of the condition and
small size of the house, fraternity
members said.
John Whittemore, a junior
from Swampscott, Mass., said,
"The house is not worth it any-

Options for Carrboro
Citizens discuss traffic
By JODI SMITH
News Editor
Positions on the proposed Franklin Street
Extension were voiced by Carrboro citizens in an
open meeting of the Carrboro Board of Aldermen
Tuesday. The meeting was an open forum to express
reasons for support or opposition to the 'Package
A' plan to make Franklin Street a three-lane
highway through downtown Carrboro.
'Package B,' which would issue a bond for $1.5
million, was discussed in a similar meeting
Wednesday night. The proposed plan has five
alternative routes. They include the Carr Brewer
Street Corridor, Roberson Street Corridor, Lloyd
Parker Street Corridor, Yaggy Property Corridor
and the Main Street Corridor
A Carrboro Bond Task Force has requested a
$700,000 budget for the Carr Street Alternative,
which would curve north to join Main Street and
Jones Ferry Road. The task force recommends using
bonds for the local share of the acquisition and
construction of the Franklin Street Extension. Town
planners said they prefer this route because it would
provide better traffic circulation in the downtown
area. Downtown businessmen, however, said thev
will oppose the extension if it means a one-way
pair with Main Street.
The bonds would be used for construction of
several community improvements, including
repaving, curbs, gutters and bikeways for Poplar
Avenue ($356,500); sidewalks on part of five streets
($11,000); a bikeway addition and improvements
for Baldwin Park ($62,500); repaving of 12 streets
($482,300); dead-ending Eugene Street, turning radii
on Greensboro Street, and street improvements in
cemetery ($52,000); and cost share with the N.C.
1 Department of Transportation for right-of-way
acquisitions and improvements to three streets
($394,100).
John Thomas, of 107 Rainbow Dr., presented
the Task Force proposal Package A. He said the
$700,000 would cover such things as water and
sewer, appraisals, landscaping and sidewalks.
Thomas said the tax rate on the bond issued would
be 15.02 cents, whereas the total cost would triple
if the project were postponed. The lowest possible
tax rates for the bonds is eight to 10 percent, to
cover invoices. Thomas' information was acquired
