Now they must wait a little longer this time in a line that stretches out of the restaurant's doors. Taco Bell opened in the former Revco Drug store location Nov. 5, and business has been as hot as picante sauce. The restaurant seats 125, and those seats have been filling up fast. "As soon as we pop the doors, weVe got a big line," said Paul Driscoll, district manager for Taco Bell. He said the restaurant is supposed to open at 10 a.m., but he has been waiting to open until 11 a.m. so employees can prepare extra food for the rush. In addition, Driscoll said he has been closing the store from 4 to 5 p.m. every day so staff can gear up for the dinner crowd. Taco Bell's location has played a major role in its record-breaking success in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, Driscoll said. "We knew it (Taco Bell) would be busy because it would give students an alternative type of meal," he said. Despite the hordes of hungry students and residents spending money in Taco Bell at all hours of the day, the restaurant has had a few problems. Taco Bell stayed open until 1 a.m. during its first few nights, but incidents of people stealing and vandalizing store property forced Driscoll to begin closing the store at 11 p.m. "THE BEST THRILLER PVE SEEN IN YEARS CLOSE AND DOUGLAS TURN IN THE PERFORMANCES OF THEIR CAREERS...HIGH WIRE THRILLS:'- John Tibbctls.

"If it's a good, orderly crowd, well stay open," he said. Students have welcomed the new restaurant with open mouths and wallets. "It's awesome . . . It's a new type of fast food," said John Haney, a sophomore from Rocky Mount. "It beats the regular burgers." Lowell Keith, a sophomore from Naples, N.Y., said he also liked having another fast-food choice on Franklin Street. "I hope it will stay open late again so I can get some late-night mun chies," he said. "Pizza gets old after a while." Nearby businesses seem pleased with the new restaurant, too. "We love it because it's helped our business a lot," said Lisa Trust, assistant manager at Whims Hallmark next door to Taco Bell. "Since the lines are so long, we haven't been (eating lunch there), but eventually I'm sure we will." Driscoll said, "The lines move pretty quickly. But the funny thing is that people stand in line and . . . don't even look at the menu until they get to the cash register." By AMY POWELL ! Staff Writer j Commercial banking needs further deregulation and should be allowed in investment banking, a First Union Corporation executive said Wednesday. ' Edward Crutchfield, chief exec utive officer of the Charlotte-based corporation, spoke on trends in commercial banking to about 60 people in Carroll Hall cjuring a speech sponsored by tbi MBA Student Association. "The most serious thing we in the banking industry face; is con tinued deregulation," he said. "Banks are being restricted by legislation passed 50 years; ago to protect them, and it is now: threat ening them." f The result, he said, is a 'decline in profits for the banking industry. "In my opinion, the only! people who are protected by this 'legisla tion are the six Wall Street firms in New York," he said. "We will see investment banking merge with commercial banking," he said. "They are too kin to each other." ) The United States is tlie only country in the world that doesn allow nationwide banking, he said. But if nationwide banking was possible, Crutchfield said he would ASAyw,'.;:; 1 ml Edward Crutchfield like First Union to become what he called "a super regional bank which is bigger than a bread box but smaller than the Dean Dome." "I hope we have the makings to expand West to become a Southern bank and not just a Southeast bank," he said. First Union currently operates in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennesee. "The marketplace gave us an opportunity to go for it, and we did," he said. "We made successful investments that let us quadruple the size of the bank in the last two-and-one-half years." First Union has gained $27 billion in assets in the last few years. Cruthfield said banks can be in a capital market without encoun tering some drawbacks. "Our strategy is to take non recurring bond markets where you win $500 million and buy good banks in Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina," he said. "Now that it is over, we are taking flak for it, but any strategy you have, you pay a price for." Crutchfield got a degree in economics from Davidson College in 1963 and an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance in 1965. He then joined First Union in , 1965. Crutchfield became president of the bank in 1973, and was the youngest president of a major bank in the United States at that time. He was named chief executive officer of the bank in 1978, pres ident of the corporation in 1983, chief executive officer of the corporation in 1984 and received the title of chairman in January 1985. Women's Formm joins CGLA to protest Martin's AIDS policy From staff reports j J The Women's Forum is assisting the Carolina Gay and Lesbian Asso ciation in a letter-writing campaign to protest Governor Martini policy on AIDS. ' "We felt AIDS is a risk ' not just for homosexuals but to anyone," Alicia Hardin, co-chairwomein of the Women's Forum, said Thursday. The Women's Forum has the same objections as the CGLA; to the governer's proposed AIDS icurricu lum. Both groups protest the omis sion of solutions such as safe; sex and condoms from the curriculum. "Women as well as men wll be in the dark on how to protect thenselves from AIDS," said Patty Hearst, co chairwoman of the Women's forum. The proposed curriculum suggests teaching abstinence from! kexual activity, instead of safe sexL as the way to avoid contracting the disease. "It does not approach the problem from a logical standpoint," Hardin said. "The information should be made available." Drug policy The two groups are soliciting signatures on the letters at a table in the Pit this week. Students can also receive information on safe sex and free condoms at the table. from page 1 mm vr Pimm wxm uasiv; mm mo t aihii i mi film imiRtiiEit rro&ird In STlVm K.
