Crosses symbolize deaths, protest aid to Contras
By JO FLEISCHER
Staff Writer
Crosses bearing the names of
civilians killed by Contra soldiers in
Nicaragua appeared on the sides of
Chapel Hill roads Tuesday.
The crosses were placed in 77 U.S.
cities as part of a nationwide Witness
for Peace program called "Crosses
of Sorrow and Hope,1' said Larry
Leaman, administrative assistant in
the group's Washington, D.C. office.
"It's an effort to create awareness
about what's going on in Nicaragua,"
Leaman said. "The names on the
crosses are the names of civilians,
teachers, farmers and others who
have been singled out and murdered
by the Contras," he said.
The crosses in Chapel Hill were
placed by members of the Carolina
Inter-Faith Task Force on Central
America working in conjunction
with Witness for Peace, CITCA
member Jane Hare said.
"In Nicaragua, you can see a lot
of crosses by the side of the road
where people have been killed, and
we wanted to bring that closer to
home," she said.
Leaman said that many people
may not immediately realize the
significance of the crosses, but that
would lead people to raise questions.
"We're hoping people will realize we
are aiding one side in a war that is
tearing Nicaragua apart," he said.
The national office of Witness for
Peace asked participating groups to
leave the crosses up during the next
few weeks to keep the consciousness
about Nicaragua alive, Hare said.
The crosses appeared partially as
a protest of President Ronald Rea
gan's call to send $100 million in
military and humanitarian aid to the
Contras, said Anita Brown, a
member of the Carolina Committee
on Central America. "Last June, $27
million was sent in the form of
humanitarian aid, and it ended up
killing civilians, " she said.
"This should make people realize
what their taxes are being spent on,""
and put pressure on Congress to not
approve any more aid in the future,"
Leaman said.

- With some extra effort by members
of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity,- the 10th
annual "Burnout" will happen as
scheduled, but the future of next year's
Burnout is uncertain.
Following a week-long delay, the
Chapel Hill Town Council Monday
granted the fraternity a noise permit for
their April 11 party for the North
Carolina Jaycees Burn Center.
The delay came after council member
Jonathan Howes expressed concern
about the traffic overcrowding on N.C.
Highway 54 caused by last year's
Burnout. The fraternity's house is on
Finley Golf Course Road and some of
the 8,000 people attending last year's
party clogged the road by parking their
cars on the sides and median of
Highway 54.
The council had postponed action on
the noise permit until Monday's meet
ing to hear Chapel Hill Police Chief
Herman Stone report on any problems
with previous Burnouts.
"This is one point I have been
overlooking for a long time," Stone told
the council. "But I have met with John
Barkley (director of Burnout), and we
have negotiated four different items that
will make Burnout safer."
The council and Pi Kappa Phi agreed
to the following guidelines:
The section of Highway 54 between
Slug's restaurant and the Chatham
county border must be lined with pylons
on both sides and in the median. The
fraternity . must provide people to
discourage drivers from parking on that
section of road.
Pi Kappa Phi must hire four off-
duty police officers to make sure
Burnout is run safely.
The fraternity must also provide
people to discourage parking in the
Glen Lennox area near the fraternity
house where the party is to be held,
and must clean up afterwards.
Shuttle busses must run from North
Campus and the F-lot to the Pi Kappa
Phi fraternity house to help alleviate
traffic overcrowding.
"It's going to be a lot of extra work
for us," Barkley said. "But it's a good
party for a good cause, so we're willing
to put in the extra effort."
Barkley said he had called around,
and no other campus locations were
available for April 1 1, so if the council
had not granted the noise permit,
Burnout may not have happened.
But Stone said he would not recom
mend that the next Burnout be granted
a noise permit if it is to be held off
campus. "I'm most concerned by drinking and
driving," Stone said. "My recommen
dation next year will be to have this
on-campus where they can walk to it."
Barkley said, "Hopefully, things will
go well enough this year that we can
comeback. . . (to the council) next year
and have the police behind us."
After Stone had made his presenta
tion, to the council, Howes said he
appreciated the fraternity's cooperation
with the town and said he was glad a
compromise had been reached.
"What they have done here has
certainly satisfied the town," Howes
said. "This is a good cause, and come
April 11, I may even meet . . . (the
fraternity members) down there." .
Burnout started ten years ago as a
party to pay back the members of other
fraternities for their help after Pi Kappa
Phi's house had burned down, said
Steve Poe, a Pi Kappa Phi member.
Gradually over the years that fol
lowed, the party evolved into a fund
raising event, where people could
contribute to the North Carolina
Jaycees Burn Center, he said. About
$3,500 was raised last year for the Burn
Center.
Both the DBs and the Pressure Boys
will play at this year's Burnout, sche
duled for April 1 1, Poe said.
In other action at Monday's Town
Council Meeting:
The council passed a resolution
approving the sale of $105,000 of Village
Cable stock, plus interest, from the
Village Foundation, Inc, back to Village
Cable. The sale had been enjoined by
the town while the Village Foundation,
a non-profit charitable organization,
had their tax status determined.
The council heard public concerns
about the proposed uses of $231,000 in
federal community development grant
funds.
The council approved a resolution
adopting new goals and objectives for
Growth Management, including a
public hearing scheduled for July 7.
The council approved amending the
1985-86 budget to appropriate $375,000
for improvements to sidewalks, park
facilities, greenways, storm water
management and drainage. Also,
$214,000 was approved for improve
ments to Merritt Mill Road.
The council passed a resolution to
temporarily close Franklin and Hender
son Streets on Sunday, April 20, for
the Apple Chill street festival.

WaEdkeim demies Nazi past
VIENNA, Austria (AP) The World Jewish Congress
has accused Kurt Waldheim of concealing a Nazi past that
included membership in Adolf Hitler's storm troops, but
the former U.N. secretary-general denied the allegations
Tuesday.'
Waldheim, who is campaigning for the ..Austrian
presidency, said in a television interview that the charges
are an attempt by opponents to hurt his chances. He is
considered a front-runner in the May 4 election.
The Jewish Congress said Waldheim had covered up a
past including membership in the Nazi Student Union and
the S.A., or Sturmabteilung, Hitler's brown-shirted security
troops.
The congress also said he served on the staff of Gen.
Alexander Loehr, an Austrian in Hitler's army who is linked
to the deportation of thousands of Jews and atrocities against
Balkan partisans during World War II.
The Soviet Union and other communist East European
countries consider Loehr one of the war's greatest
perpetrators of atrocities on the Balkan front.
"As IVe said several times already, it's not true," the 67-year-old
Waldheim asserted in his interview with state-run
television. v . -
"I was never a member of one of these organizations,"
he said of the alleged S. A. and student union activities.
Waldheim's spokesman, Gerold Christian, acknowledged
on the telephone that Waldheim was attached to Loehr's
group as a first lieutenant during part of World War II.

Pre-registration for the more than 700 classes taught during
summer school is April 1 through April 7 for currently
enrolled students.
"We try to provide courses that have the greatest demand
ones that get closed out during the regular terms," said
Donald G. Tarbet, director of summer session.
The University encourages students to come to summer
school, Tarbet said. In two five and a half week terms,
students can take courses equalling a semester's work.
"Because of the cost of living and tuition, people are
wanting to get in the job market earlier," he said. Summer
school is a means of catching up or getting ahead.
Tarbet said, "Graduation requirements have a lot to do
with the summer session."
In 1985, 6,526 students were enrolled in Term I and 5,310
students were enrolled in Term II.
Mildred Prillaman, assistant to the director, said there
were advantages to summer school. There is a more relaxing
environment, the classes are smaller, many lower level courses
are taught by distinguished professors and meeting in classes
every day provides better continuity of material, she said.
Tuition for out-of-state students has gone up from last
year, Tarbet said. The total tuition for a resident

Jordan! foresees MepiiiMicaiiii challemise

Despite the encouraging turnout in
recent county rallies, the N.C. Demo
cratic Party must strengthen itself to
face Republican Party competition for
dominance in state politics, Lt. Gov.
Bob Jordan told a group of about 100
people Tuesday night in the Student
Union.
The speech was part of a lecture series
sponsored by the UNC College Demo
crats. Jordan, a former College Demo
crat, was also a statewide vice president
of the Young Democrats after graduat
ing from N.C. State University.
"The Republican Party has targeted
North Carolina as it's never done
before," he said. "They have a large
amount of money that they're Very
willing to spend in order to win North
Carolina."
He added that Republicans also had
the support of the White House.
"The president's popularity can only
help the Republican, cause," he said.
"You can expect to see President
Reagan in North Carolina offering his
support for Republican candidates
here." '; - - -; '
Jordan served for eight years as a
state senator from Montgomery County
before being elected lieutenant governor7
in 1984.
He said he recognized his responsi
bility of taking the leadership role in
the Democratic Party.
"I'm trying to build a party that's not
a Jim Hunt party, a Rufus Edmisten
party, or a Bob Jordan party, but a
Democratic Party," he said.
In the past, many people tended to
revolve around former Governor
Hunt's personality more than the
Democratic Party, he said, adding that
he hoped to foster the re-emergence of
a united party by going back to grass
roots policies.
He said the party had a history of
compassion, although this compassion
did not mean that business suffered.
As owner of the state's largest lumber
business, the Jordan Lumber Company
in Mt. Gilead, Jordan said he identified
well with other state businessmen.
He noted that his business made more
money in the years under national
democratic administration than in other
years. ' ' ;-' '.
"When people are taken care of and
Democrats are in power, business is
successful," he said.
North Carolina is at a crossroads,
faced with two separate ; and very
different economies a growing urban
economy and a suffering rural econ
omy, he said.
Jordan said the young Democrats of
North Carolina were in a position to
help reduce some of this burden by
providing input into the Democratic
Party.

Hole returns to team,
will play in tourney
From staff reports
North Carolina senior guard Steve
Hale was able to return to active
practice yesterday and will be able
to play in this weekend's ACC
tournament, coach Dean Smith
announced in a press conference
Tuesday afternoon.
"Hell be able to play for 20 or
30 minutes," Smith said, "but not in
long, continuous stretches."
Hale suffered a collapsed right
lung as the result of a collision
between his chest and Len Bias' knee
during the Tar Heels' Feb. 20 loss
to Maryland in the Dean E. Smith
Student Activities Center. The injury
forced Hale to sit out of UNC's last
three regular-season games against
N.C. State, Virginia and Duke.
North Carolina lost two of those
contests.
Coach Smith said he expected
Hale to pick up right where he left
off.
"Hell probably be the first guy on
the floor going after the loose ball,"
Smith said, adding that Hale's
accurate shooting from the perimeter
would be a significant weapon
against opposing teams.
Ironically, Hale's first tournament
contest will be against the team that
put him out of commission, the
sixth-seeded Terrapins.
"I expect that Maryland will have
a tough game," Smith said. "And I
expect that North Carolina will have
a tough game, too."
Traffic .officials expect $3 million from higher rate
By JENNIFER ESSEN
Staff Writer
The UNC Traffic and Parking Office antic
ipates that next year's increased campus parking
rates will raise their annual revenue by $150,000,
said Director of Security Services, Robert
Sherman.
The Board of Trustees approved three parking
rate increases last Friday. Parking permit prices
will increase $1 per month for fringe lots and
$2 per month for central lots. Parking meter
costs will rise from 25 cents for two and one
half hours to 25 cents for one hour.
Also, the daily parking rate for the Health
Affairs parking deck will increase from $4 to
$5. During the first four hours, hourly rates will
rise 5 cents, and afterward they will rise 15 cents
for each hour.
Revenue for the traffic office comes from the
costs of parking permits, meters, bus passes,
fines, parking deck charges and the interest
drawn from federal subsidy for the transit
system, Sherman said.
The total amount of revenue coming into the
traffic office this year will be about $3 million,
Sherman said. "Our expenses pretty much
match the $3 million revenue," he said.
About 35 percent of the revenue goes to pay
the office's contract with the town of Chapel
Hill for bus services, Sherman said.
Traffic office employees' salaries account for
20 percent of revenue, Sherman said, and the
salaries of state employees increased 10 percent
this year.
Sherman said 14.5 percent of revenue is used
to pay debts owed for parking deck construction.
These debts will probably not be met for another
20 years, he said.
Another 16 percent of the revenue goes for
operational expenses and repairs including
restriping roads and lots, filling in holes, and
maintaining electronic equipment, Sherman
said. ,
The remaining 14 percent is used for totally
resurfacing parking lots needing repair, he said.
Sherman saidxharges for repavement were too
expensive last year, and the office was waiting
another year to repave the Craige parking lot
and other areas.
Resurfacing the lots costs from $1,000 to
$1,200 per space for surface lots and $6,000 per
space for decks, he said.
Increased rates are offsetting higher prices,
Sherman said. "We should be taking in more
money than we're spending, because we get'
interest on surplus," he said. "This means we
won't have to borrow money for projects and
end up paying 10 to 30 years of interest"
The need for a $60,000 emergency generator
to maintain lighting and elevator operation in
parking areas during electrical shortages is
another reason higher rates is needed, Sherman
said. Last semester there was a power shortage,
and the lots without generators were very
frightening, he said.
The traffic office is also considering the
addition of 50 spaces to the Law School parking
lot. "At $1,000 a space that's $50,000," he
said.
All revenue goes into one account, and bills
are paid directly from the account, Sherman
said.
Sherman said: "(Even) with these increases,
can we make it? We have to generate our own
revenue so rates have to be increased if we
want to best serve the community."
The construction of buildings is state-funded,
but the office receives no state funds to help
