; Liquor-by-the-drink, which first
came to North Carolina 10 years ago,
Ms benefited the state, according to
its supporters, but critics argue that
increased access to liquor has created
a host of problems.
In 1978, the citizens of Mecklen
burg County became the first in the
state to allow liquor-by-the-drink.
Nine of North Carolina's 100 counties
now allow liquor-by-the-drink, as do
27 municipalities.
Orange County was the second in
the state to pass a local referendum
on the issue on Sept. 14, 1978, said
Bill Hester, an administrator with the
state Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) Commission.
Before 1978, those who wished to
drink liquor in restaurants had to
"brown bag" or bring 'their own
bottle.
Proponents of liquor-by-the-drink
argue that its passage paved the way

until the searches are. complete.
Dennis O'Connor, vice chancellor
of research and graduate- studies, is
the acting provost, and Wayne Jones,
associate vice chancellor of finance,
has been appointed interim vice
chancellor of business and finance.
Samuel Williamson, the former
provost, left UNC last semester to
serve as the president and vice
chancellor of the University of the
South in Sewanee, Tenn.
The former vice chancellor of
for development and economic
growth. When challenged, they point
to hotels and restaurants that they
say would not have come to their
towns if they could not serve liquor.
According to the Charlotte Con
vention and Visitors Bureau, the
number of hotel rooms in Mecklen
burg County has jumped 133 percent
since 1978; the number of restaurants,
31 percent. Many argue that those
numbers would be substantially lower
without liquor-by-the-drink.
But the manager of at least one
Chapel Hill restaurant said the
availability of liquor plays only a
small role in attracting his customers.
"Liquor accounts for about 3
percent of our total sales," said
Charlie Smith, manager of the Rams
Head Rathskeliar. "It helps, but not
substantially."
Smith pointed out that liquor plays
a much larger role at many other
restaurants. Beer, not liquor, is the
drink of choice among his college-

The search committee for the vice

regular basis. The committee chair

members are Gillian Cell, dean of the

Whether liquor-by-the-drink has

to anti-liquor forces. To Rep. Coy
Privette, a Republican from Cabarrus
County who is also a Baptist minister
and executive director of the conser
vative Christian Action League, the
problems created by liquor-by-the-drink
far outweigh the rewards.
"Every prediction we made 10
years ago has come into being,"
Privette said. "We're not going to get
serious about the war on drugs until
we get serious about dealing with our
number one addicting drug."
Privette said liquor-by-the-drink
led to an increase in drunken driving,
creating the push for the Safe Roads
Act in 1983, which sharpened penal
ties for drunk drivers.
Many of the state's conservative
Christians agree with Privette.

More than one-third of the 29
Student Congress seats are vacant
and will not be filled until the Oct.
4 election, Congress Speaker Neil
Riemann said Sunday.
Riemann said the 12 seats are
vacant for several reasons, including
representatives moving from their
districts, graduating or leaving
school. Also, two seats have been
vacant for the entire congressional
session.
The temporary lack of representa
tives causes problems for congress,
which meets Wednesday for the first
time this year, and for students in the
vacant districts, he said.
"In terms of doing projects,"
Riemann said, "this cuts our man
power down somewhat. Mainly,

Although Gov. Jim Martin's
administration can boast of low
unemployment, North Carolina's
low wages and high drop-out rates
threaten the state's future quality
of life, economic researchers say.
Reflecting nationwide trends,
many of North Carolina's new
jobs are low-paying, service-sector
jobs, said Ken Johnson of the
Atlanta-based Southern Regional
Council (SRC).
' "It is not the kinds of jobs that
provide the standard of living you
normally associate with working
full-time jobs," Johnson said. "A
substantial part of the problem is
underemployment when people
are working full-time jobs but
receiving part-time pay. We are
going to see the chicken come
home to roost." '
Johnson's comments followed

The inauguration date of elected
officials, including Student Congress
representatives, has been moved to
April this year, after the budget
process. This will eliminate the
problem of people running just to
vote on the budget, Riemann said.
; "Nobody would bother to run to
. serve for two weeks (until the end of
the semester)," he said.
. Bobby Ferris, who had been
finance committee chairman, lost his
seat when he moved to a different
district. -
Ferris said Sunday that he decided
to move and give up his congressional
seat for a variety of reasons.
"Students, being transient by
nature, sometimes end up living in
a different place in the fall than they
do in the spring," he said. "When I

Spangler said.
Michael Kinsley, editor of New

The debate is one in a series of four
debates on college campuses across

Martin said, "so they have a pretty

the semester.

during the summer, Cell said, and

The report ranked North Carol

in hourly manufacturing
wages, 34th in income, 42nd in
workplace conditions and 44th in
quality of living. , '
The report also showed that
women and minorities fare poorly
in North Carolina's job market,
Johnson said. Of the state's
managerial and professional jobs,
women occupy 26.8 percent of
them and blacks, 21 percent.

Ferris said others had questioned
the ethics of people who run for
congress, serve during the budget
process and then leave. He and many
of the others who left weren't plan
ning to leave when they were elected,
he added.
David McNeill, former Dist. 19
representative, .also resigned from
congress because he had too many
other commitments, including work
as a teaching assistant, Riemann said. ,
Riemann said congress will elect a
new finance chairman Wednesday.
But he added that it was possible they
will vote to postpone the decision

Stacy's makeover will include
electrical rewiring, new bathrooms,
windows, floor covering, painting,
light fixtures and fire alarms, accord

the board's Committee on Budget

Housing Director Wayne Kuncl

With annual per capita income
averaging $13,314 in 1987, North
Carolina is below the national
average of $15,481, said Barbara
Clover, assistant director for
public affairs of the N.C. Depart
ment of Commerce. But the trend
is upward, Clover said, as the
state's per capita income rose 7.2
percent last year, compared to 6
percent nationwide.
George Autry, president of the
Chapel Hill-based employment
policy research firm MDC Inc.,
said North Carolina's economic
picture was "really mixed."
The city of Durham is a good
example that economic develop

said. Despite a very low unem
