Producer recalls'
1960s television
By KAREN ENTRIKEN
Staff Writer
Television will never recapture the
sweet feeling of the 1960s family
sitcom because American attitudes
changed during the '60s and because
of complex TV network economics,
award-winning .producerdirector-,
and UNC alumnus Jeffrey Hayden
told about 25 students in Gerrard
Hall Monday.
"Television in the '60s was a last
gasp at a sweet and friendly America
when America was anything but
sweet and friendly," said Hayden,
who spoke as part of the 1989 Fine
Arts Festival.

The Chapel Hill Town Council
heard from residents in favor of a
proposed $9 million bond referendum
calling for the acquisition and devel
opment of parks and open space
conservation.
Town Manager David Taylor
presented a bond package that would
include $1.5 million for neighbor
hood park purchases, $1.2 million for
neighborhood park development,
$1.3 million for other park improve
ments and $5 million for additional
public land uses.
1 .The town council's key concerns
with the bond package were to retain
Chapel Hill's unique character and
16 meet specific land use needs.
One disadvantage of having nothing to do is that you can't stop

Television shows in the 1960s were
pleasant, comfortable family situa
tion comedies that put no demands
-on the audience,- said -Hayden, .who:
directed shows like "The Donna Reed
Show," "Leave It To Beaver" and
"The Andy Griffith Show," which fit
this description.
Hayden also directed TV shows
such as "Batman," "That Girl,"
"Knight Rider," "Dennis the Menace"

The council also wants to promote
the purchase of larger parcels of land
for parks, which could be difficult if
the town became more urbanized.
Herschel Slater, chairman of the
Parks and Recreation Commission,
said, "We believe it is apparent and
imperative to take such action and
to take it soon.
"The population growth, the land
price inflation and the needs are
extremely well-documented."
Passing the bond would mean the
addition of 75 to 100 acres to 366
acres of public open space currently
owned by Chapel Hill in parks,
greenways and entranceways, Slater
said.
If the bond were passed the town

to vote in runoff elections for student
body president, senior class offices
and Student Congress seats.
Juniors Brien Lewis and Trey

election for student body president.
Bobby Ferris and Greg Zeeman,

Donnie Esposito and Deanna

the District 10 Student Congress seat
All runoff elections are necessary

Council member David Godschalk
said, "WeVe heard from the advo
cates of open space," and brought up
the question of the cost to the
taxpayer of the proposed bond
package.
Taylor said the bond package
would result in an $80 tax increase
for a person owning a house valued
at $100,000.
The town council moved to discuss

Roger Waldon presented a report on
growth management to the council.
He recommended that the council call
a public hearing to consider amend
ments to the adequate public facilities
ordinance.
Proposals include limiting the
number of building permits or devel
opment approvals allowed each year
and a reduction in auto traffic caused
by new development in Chapel Hill.
Godschalk expressed concern
about the proposed cap on the
number of building permits or devel
opment approvals granted in a year.
"It seems to me that the staff have
already taken it upon themselves that
a cap ... is a good idea," he said.

yearbooks are completely funded by

Future finance committees will

said finance committee member
Jurgen Buchenau (Dist. 3).
"We didn't want to make students
pay twice for something that expen

not one of Student Congress' top
priorities, Buchenau said.
"Past congresses haven't looked at
things the proper way in the past,"
Buchenau said. Student governments

yearbooks, he said. The yearbook

The Black Student Movement
(BSM) was not absolved of its duty
to meet Student Congress budget
deadlines because of its "failure to
maintain accurate watches," accord
ing to a statement released by the
congress appeals committee Monday.
The three-person committee ruled
Feb. 20 that the BSM and four other
groups that missed budget deadlines
had no grounds for appeal and could
not participate in the budget process.
Committee members did not state
their reasons for denying the appeals
until Monday's written opinion was
released.
The BSM's opinion said its treas
urer, Chanda Douglas, would have
submitted the group's budget request
on time according to her watch, but
no Student Congress members were
in Suite C. Douglas left" the 'Student
Congress office to correct a mistake
in the request, BSM members said.
The request was then refused when
and not effective."
Godschalk added, "I am very
disappointed to see this come forward
as a direct request without it coming
first to the council."
The town council moved to have
the town manager set up a work
session to discuss the report.

Hill was summed up in a statement

statement, the office was manned

first tried to submit the request until
she returned after the deadline.
The committee took this as suffi

appeal.
BSM President Kenneth Perry said
he was considering appealing the
decision to the Student Supreme
Court. The BSM general body would
vote on any such appeal at its March
8 meeting, he said.
The incident was "just a big
misunderstanding," Perry said. "I
back my treasurer," he said. "But I
don't think Student Congress would
falsify anything or that the guy would
leave and not tell anyone." :
Perry said it was not that important
for the BSM to be included in the
spring budget process because the
