Members of the Black Student
Movement (BSM) say they are
hoping to meet with the search
committee that will choose nominees
to replace Hayden Renwick as asso

Student Counseling.
The group also plans to express
dissatisfaction with the site of the
Black Cultural Center and ask
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor and

Formerly Purdy's, Upstairs 159th.
Rascals, Sponges and several other
clubs, the space at 159'2 E. Franklin
St. has changed names and owners
more often than the Yankees have
changed managers.
And the tradition continues next
week with a new club called Players.
So named because of the sports
centered decor and the importance of
sports on campus. Players is also a
fitting name because owners Mike
McCormick, Buddy Curry and Mike
Chatham are former UNC football
players. Curry also recently com
pleted a successful NFL career as a
linebacker with the Atlanta Falcons.
The three men bought the club in
July. McCormick said all three
wanted to return because they had

Tonya Blanks, BSM vice president,

but more of the BSM's members
would like to express their concerns
to the committee, Perry said.
"We're concerned about exactly

Perry read a letter to the group that
he will mail today to Colin Palmer,

this seemed like a good opportunity:
McCormick said he plans to make
Players more successful than its
predecessors.
"The club has needed a change in
atmosphere," McCormick said.
"Although the club's name has
changed several times since it first
opened as Purdy's in 1979, the
atmosphere of the club has stayed the
same.
"That is insulting to customers
expecting a true change.".
Players has a new look and a new
more casual concept than previous
clubs. McCormick said.
"We are 100 percent different," he
said. "We are going to operate like
the other clubs were never there."

UNC graduate student Dale
McKinley has been subpoenaed to
appear before a federal grand jury in
Fayetteville that is investigating the
disappearance of fugitive Eddie
Hatcher.
McKinley and a UNC law profes
sor said they believe McKinley has
been asked to testify because he met
with Hatcher Aug. 30, the day before
Hatcher disappeared.
Hatcher disappeared Aug. 31, after
his bond was revoked by the U.S.
Court of Appeals.
Hatcher and Timothy Jacobs, who
say they are Tuscarora Indians,have
been charged with taking staff
members hostage at The Robesonian
newspaper in Lumberton Feb. 1.
Hatcher and Jacobs said they were
protesting corruption and racial
violence in the county, which is one
third Indian, one-third black and one
third white.

Robert .Jones, a Raleigh developer,
was unanimously elected the fifth
chairman of UNC's Board of Gov
ernors at the board's July meeting.
Jones, 52, has served on the board
for 1 1 years. He is a graduate of East
Carolina University and is president
of Davidson and Jones Construction
Company and the Carolina branch
of the Associated General Contrac
tors of America.
The Board of Governors (BOG)
consists of 32 members who are
elected to 8-year terms by the N.C.
General Assembly to act as the policy
making board for the UNC system.
The chairman is elected to a 2-year
term and can serve for two consec
utive terms.
Jones said his important concerns
as chairman are to maintain the
present direction of the board and to
make the board accessible to the 16
universities in the UNC system.
"I don't think there will be any
major change," Jones said. "Some
people may have great, fantastic
agendas, but mine is to try to keep
the good things we have.
"There are a lot of built-in events
that shape your agenda, meaning the
relationship we have with the 16
public universities. They all have their
series of problems, and their prob
lems are ours.

Restaurant changes hands; travel

Part of the changing look of
downtown Chapel Hill is in the
evolution of existing businesses. Two
such changes are the sale of the
Jordan Le Charolais restaurant and
the move of Small World Travel into
a new location. .
Jordan Le Charolais, at 157 E.
Rosemary St., has changed owners
and names, and is now Ballyhoo's.
The previous owner, Jim Bartlett,
sold the restaurant to former
employee Doug Wallace. '
Wallace said the business has
effectively changed hands, although
the final papers are to be signed
sometime within the next two weeks.
"We don't have any drastic changes
in mind for the outside of the
building, other than to clean it up
(and) put in a canopy and some
shrubbery," Wallace said.
The interior of the restaurant has
been remodeled, and the rest of the
renovations will be done while the

their Sept. 19 trial, Jacobs turned
himself in. Sources close to the case
say Hatcher didn't want to return to
jail because he feared for his life.
McKinley is scheduled to appear
before the grand jury Tuesday.
U.S. District Attorney John Bruce,
who issued McKinley's subpoena, is
not required to tell McKinley what
the grand jury is investigating.
But Barry Nakell, Hatcher's lawyer
and a UNC law professor, said the
district attorney told him Wednesday
that the grand jury is looking into
Hatcher's disappearance.
"All I can say is that I understand
that the grand jury ... is looking into
the matter of Eddie and his location,"
Nakell said.
Hatcher was in Chapel Hill Aug.
30 to meet with Nakell and to talk
to students who were organizing a
forum on Hatcher's trial, McKinley
said. '
He said his meeting with Hatcher
had nothing to do with Hatcher's
case.

we can always be accessible to the

institutions," he said.
While the BOG's primary respon
sibility is to obtain funds for the UNC
system from the General Assembly,
Jones said he had no plans for
funding specific programs.

"We would have liked to stay
closed until all of our renovations
were complete, but that just, didn't
work out," he said.
Wallace said the renovations have
been successful, but that a lot of red
tape has been involved in getting them
done.
"There are a lot of restrictions and
regulations on what you can do with
buildings downtown," Wallace said.
"You have to have permits for

Small World Travel Agency is now
at 171 E. Franklin St., in the property
previously occupied by Blue Heaven
boutique.
"Small World moved primarily for
an advantage in rent," owner Mark
Fisher said Wednesday.
The lease on Small World's former
Franklin Street property had run out,
and it was advantageous to move,
Fisher said.
"We wanted to stay on Franklin
Street to be visible to students,
professors and people who conduct
business downtown," Fisher said.
"We have been at our old location
for 15 years."
With a more visible entrance, the
new location has already improved
business, he said.
Blue Heaven was part of a business
in Hilton Head which decided it no
longer wanted to do business in
Chapel Hill. "They retreated to their
original market," he said.
