Wegner, associate professor at the UNC School of Law. announced her candidacy for a position on the Carrboro Board of Aldermen at a press conference Tuesday morning. "1 take this stepj because ... 1 am convinced that Carrboro now stands at a critical crossroads," she said, adding that the next four years will determine factors about the town's population and environment. "We must strive to preserve Carrboro's unique identity, while meeting the problems associated with its recent rapid growth," said Wegner, a local Democratic Party leader. Wegner favors restrictive measures, such as density and landscape requirements, to limit the adverse effects of growth. "Incompatible growth may occur just outside our borders if we do not act promptly to develop a joint planning agreement with Orange County in order to allow us more control over nearby areas," said Wegner, who received her law degree from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1976. Concerning the debate on a downtown revitaliza tion project, Wegner said she would reach a decision on this issue as soon as possible. "1 would give due consideration to the rezoning proposals now before the Board of Aldermen, but would generally favor strengthening the downtown's pedestrian orientation and emphasizing a theme," she said. Wegner also supports the creation of a Carrboro historic district, she said. Discussing transportation concerns, Wegner said she endorsed bike lanes and an inexpensive bus system. uWe must commit ourselves to developing and maintaining an adequate road system which antic- inates the town's transDortation needs before intolerable congestion results, public safety is jeopardized and costly repairs become necessary," Wegner said. She said that Carrboro must strengthen its financial position by developing a capital improvement program, requiring developers to pay impact fees and diversifying the town's tax base to allow for commercial and industrial development. Impact fees would cover a portion of the costs incurred by new developments, she said. An attorney for nine years, Wegner specializes in land use and local government law at the law school. She serves on the Carrboro 2000 Task Force, the Carrboro Board of Adjustment and the University Committee on the Status of Women. Elections for the Carrboro Board of Aldermen will be held Nov. 5. e Cohey answers cMzens? questions at town meeto From wirt reports AUBURN, Maine Samantha Smith, the schoolgirl who wrote Soviet leader Yuri Andropov and toured the Soviet Umon to promote world peace, died in a fiery plane crash, her mother said Monday. - Samantha's father and six others died aboard the Bar Harbor Airlines Beechcraft 99 turboprop that crashed late Sunday, a half-mile from the Auburn-Lewiston Munic ipal Airport during a rainstorm, officials said.

President Reagan said the South African government of President P. W. Botha is a "reformist admin istration," which has made "substan tial changes" in the elimination of some forms of racial discrimination. Reagan has reiterated that his administration views apartheid as "repugnant" and that it has made it . plain to Pretoria that changes are necessary. ' By DEVI SEN Staff Writer Congressman Bill Cobey answered questions presented to him by local residents at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Town Meeting on Monday night at the Franklin Street Post Office. Cobey, R.-Orange, who also repres ents Wake, Randolph, Chatham and Franklin counties, spoke of the budget and the resolution passed recently , Cobey said he voted in favor of the budget resolution, although it was $171 million dollars over the estimated budget, because it was a step in the right direction. Cobey said the N.C. Tobacco Pro gram was not only important to the farmers but was also a vital part of the state economy. Cobev said he supported sanctions against South Africa primarily because they were largely symbolic. However, divestment is not one of the sanctions he supports. "I certainly oppose apartheid and any kind of segregation. There should be some type of power-sharing govern ment. But if we bring down the South African government, there will be even more widespread suffering. Cobey said the Ethiopian regime seemed to want to systematically starve its own people. "I did vote for increased aid to that country, and I am disappointed that the goods that we have already sent are rotting on the docks. But I dont know what the U.S. government can be (doing) or is doing about it." ' j - I W.
