Town police get vacation
thanks to a short break
The Daily Tar HeelThursday, October 18, 19843

Staff Writer
Local police officials got a break
of their own last weekend thanks to
an unusually low number of robber
ies, Chapel Hill Police Officer Gregg
Jarvies said yesterday.
"Fall Break isn't as publicized as
Spring Break; a lot of people also
stayed in town" because the holiday
was so short, Jarvies said.
According to Jarvies, police
receive a large number of break-in
reports after Christmas vacation and
Fall Break so they usually encourage
residents of dormitories, fraternity
and sorority houses to either secure
their valuables before leaving town
or take their valuables with them.
Chapel Hill police reports over the
four-day weekend consisted mainly
of domestic disturbances and emer
gency medical assistance. The only
major robbery reported during the
vacation was the theft of approxi
mately $2,800 in property and $380
in firearms from the Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity house at 303 E.
Franklin St. early Sunday morning.
The robbery, which was reported
by one of two brothers staying in
the house during the break, is
believed to have occurred between
midnight and 5 a.m. Two stereos,
a television set, a hunting rifle and
a telephone were reported stolen,
said Bo Harrison, a member of
Alpha Tau Omega.
Harrison said that the robbers
may have entered through the front
door since it showed evidence of
possible forced entry.
Jarvies declined to release details.
Duke Power Co. refund still in question
By SHARON SHERIDAN
Staff Writer
The N.C. Supreme Court ruled last week that the
N.C. Utilities Commission incorrectly allowed the
inclusion of $29.7 million in Duke Power Co.'s 1982
electrical power rate increase, but Duke Power may
not have to pay a refund to its customers, a Duke
Power spokesman said.
"An inappropriate accounting procedure allowed
$29.7 million spent prior to July 1979 to be included
(in the rate base) under Construction Work in
Progress," said Alex Coffin, spokesman for Duke
Power in Charlotte, in a telephone interview.
C WIP is a 1979 law allowing Duke Power to collect
interest on money spent for construction in progress,
such as construction of a power plant, Coffin said.
"We, because we're regulated, cannot start charging
you, a customer, the money we spend on that
(construction) until it goes into service," he said.
"(Since) CWIP passed, we still can't collect the actual
money, but we can collect the interest on the money."
The utilities commission's error was in allowing
Duke Power to collect money for interest on
construction costs made before CWIP passed, Coffin
said.
The rate impact of the $29.7 million is about $6
million, said Bob Bennink, general counsel of the
utilities commission in Raleigh. This $6 million is the
amount of money Duke Power could have to refund
to its customers.
But, according to Coffin, there may be no refund.
Duke Power's inability to collect the money under
CWIP does not mean it cannot recover the money,
he said.
"We ought to have the right to recover that money
spent. That's the way I interpret (the court ruling),"
Coffin said. "There may be another accounting
procedure applied, but a refund may or may not take
iace.
Duke Power will soon recommend to the utilities
commission how to account for the money, he said.
If the $6 million is refunded, Bennink said, it
probably will be credited to customers' bills based
upon the number of kilowatt hours each customer
uses.
Duke Power has 1.4 million customers in North
and South Carolina, including 24,000 in the Chapel
Hill area, Coffin said. The average residential
customer uses about 1,000 kilowatt hours and has
an electric bill of about $68 per month, he said.
UNC purchases and distributes electricity from
Duke Power, said Utilities Division Director Robert
Peake. The University also generates about 15 percent
of the campus' total power consumption, he said.
The University purchased 163,377,000 kilowatt
hours at a cost of $6,456,009.93 during the last fiscal
year (July 1, 1983 to June 30, 1984), Peake said.
Orange County unemployment rate falls to 3.4
Smoking program planned
The American Cancer Society is
planning a facilitator training workshop
for volunteers who would like to
conduct the FreshStart Stop Smoking
Programs scheduled throughout the
year in Orange County. The workshop
will be held Monday from 6:30-9:30
p.m. in the Orange County Unit Office
of the ACS on W. Main Street in
Carrboro. For more information, call
942-1953. Registration is limited to 15
participants.
Planning center to open
By LAURIE DENISE WILLIS
Staff Writer
The unemployment rate for Orange
County has declined from 4.3 percent
in August 1983 to 3.4 percent in August
1984 according to Floyd Outland, a
research analyst for the Raleigh Employ
ment Security Commission.
"To begin, 4.3 percent unemployment
is extremely good, but when it drops
as low as 3.4 percent, that is practically
unheard of, " Outland said.
The two largest sectors of the local
economy are educational services and
health services, said Leonard Vanness,
Planned Parenthood's family plan
ning center will celebrate the opening
of its new location at an open house
Wednesday from 4-7 p.m. The center
moved last month from Hillsborough
to Elliot Road in Kroger Plaza in

Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce.
Education employs more than 10,000
workers, or about 27 percent of the
work force, while health services employ
about 5,000 workers about 13
percent of the local work force.
Vanness said the Chapel Hill
Carrboro area has a very stable eco
nomic base.
"We're in a good situation . . . The
nice thing about our economy is weVe

employment. Our economy is buffered

ment: Policy choices for the next
administration."
RH A get funds and make an expansion
this is an progression on last year's,"
Deimler said.
RHA gave $700 from its social fund,
Deimler said, adding he hoped another
$700 would be raised from T-shirt sales.
"The T-shirts are a moneymaker for us
because the concert is costing more than
we had," he said. "We've only got 250
we decided to go with a limited
number so if people want them, they'd
better scurry and find them."
The shirts say "RHA presents
Rockin' Autumn II" and sell for $5 each.
The budget consists of $150 for
publicity, $900 for the X-Teens, $300
for the Vanguard, $500 for the light and
sound systems, $50 for the stage and
$200 on reserve to rent Memorial Hall
in case of rain.
This year's Springfest cost $5,500, of
which $2,800 was provided by the
Campus Governing Council. The rest
came from donations by dormitories
and residence areas.
"This is funded by RHA and not
Student Government because we
wanted to fund it ourselves, to generate
the money ourselves . . . it's kind of a
first," Deimler said.
The concert will follow standard
University policy, with bring-your-own
alcohol (no glass bottles) permitted.

he said.
The future of the local economy looks
bright, Vanness said.
"Our economy will remain good for
some time to come because of the
governmental wages, including federal,
state, and local, which make up about
50 percent of the employment base in
Chapel Hill . . . that's going to maintain
the area as a pretty stable economy,"

Negotiations are being held currently
for the proposed Rosemary Square
hotel and parking deck to be built in
downtown Chapel Hill, Vanness said.
"This hotel and parking deck could
be a . . . plus to retail trade in the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro area," he said.
In addition, more homes and residen
tial areas are being constructed.
"There have been more homes and

One student told Helms that many
of the boycotting students would not
be in school if Helms' opposition to
grants and loans became law.
"I plead guilty to trying to reduce the
cost of government," Helms responded.
"But you'd be astonished at how many
recipients of student loans are the
daughters and sons of affluent people."
Helms said he enjoyed his visit to
Livingston. "I was invited to come . . .
If I hadn't . . . the media would have
said, 'Aw, he's scared to come to
Livingston College.' But why didn't they
(the students) come in and disagree with
me."
