Council candidates
By GABRIELE JONES
Staff Writer
Chapel Hill residents who don't want
to see a tax increase will be happy to
know that all seven candidates for the
Chapel Hill Town Council want to see
the tax rate remain the same during the
next four years.
At the Chapel Hill Alliance of Neigh
borhoods Candidates' Forum Tuesday
night, the seven candidates for town
council said they thought air pollution,
the elimination of, the Pittsboro Street
Extension, bond issues and hazardous
waste were some of the important is
sues in this year's election.
Three of the candidates are incum
bents seeking re-election. The other
four are challengers! who think they
have what it takes to represent the town
of Chapel Hill. On Nov. 7, four of the
candidates will be elected for a four
year term. Half of the town council
seats are up for election every two
years.
Three residents asked the candidates
questions on a wide range of issues, and
one thing was clear: None of the candi
dates supports a tax increase.
Incumbent David Pasquini said in
the past eight years there had been only
two tax increases.
"If we manage government properly
in Chapel Hill, we can do it without a
tax increase."
Pasquini has served two terms on the
council and has lived in Chapel Hill
since 1 977. He is the Health, Safety and
Environmental manager at Konica
Manufacturing in Burlington.
Because of his background, Pasquini
said he supported many environmental
issues such as protection of the water
supply.
"We can't lose sight of water qual
ity. It is the essence of life."
Challenger Helen Urquhart also
from an unlocked room in Everett
Residence Hall.
In a report filed Sept. 28, police
assisted a resident assistant in Hinton
James with a noise complaint.
Thirty-five cans of beer were
reported stolen from the Alumni
House last Thursday. The beer was
valued at $17.50. .
A man who had threatened a
Morrison resident assistant around
1 1:45 p.m. last Thursday turned his
verbal assault on a police officer who
had responded to the situation. While
police were arresting the man, he
assaulted the officers and in his as
sault movements, struck his head
against the dumpster. Police took the
man to the hospital, where he was
treated and released for incarcera
tion. On the ride to the magistrate's
office, the man kicked the officer 10
times. The magistrate filed an arrest
warrant for James Bryan, 22, of Hil
landale Rd., Durham, for being drunk
and disruptive and assault on a police
officer. Davis was jailed, with bond
to be set at a later date.

dads to campus for a variety of activi
ties sponsored by campus groups, ac
cording to Mary Bowman, assistant
dean and director of UNC parent pro-
pledged to keep taxes the same. She
said the council should consider setting
up a citizens advisory board to assist in
reviewing the budget each year.
Tuesday night Urquhart said she was
qualified to serve on the council be
cause she had been paying attention to
the council's activities for a long time.
"I call myself a concerned citizen."
Concerned about losing more of the
town's tax base to UNC is incumbent
Julie Andresen. Andresen said that
UNC had purchased old commercial
property downtown in recent years and
that the town should be careful.
Andresen said alternatives for build
ing the new library should be ap
proached rather than raising taxes. The
$4 million bond for the new library
does not fulfill the $7.8 million plan,
according to the library committee.
Andresen said the town should look
into private donations or building a
library that can be added on to later.
"I'm opposed to raising taxes for this."
The third incumbent, Art Werner,
has lived in Chapel Hill since 1972. In
Werner's present term as council
member, he has supported issues such
as a new library, a tree ordinance and a
public facilities ordinance.
At the forum Tuesday he said a public
facilities ordinance was an effective
way of slowing down attacks on the
town. "It forces the town's business to
be conducted in an open manner."
The town's solid waste disposal will
be a major issue because a new landfill
is needed, and the best solution might
be a regional landfill, he said.
No matter what is decided there will
be a fight, he said. "Elected bodies will
have to bite the bullet."

volunteered efforts for the homeless,
troubled teens and the ADDS house,

The Graduate and Professional Stu
dents Federation (GPSF) Wednesday
endorsed a referendum requesting that
in some cases future referendums be
held separately for undergraduate and
graduate students.
The referendum would change the
Student Constitution so that only under
graduate students could vote on refer
endums involving student fees if the
fees applied only to undergraduates.
The same would apply to graduate
students.
All students would still vote on fees

graduates and graduates. The referen

los and junior Ginny Hewitt will com
pete for the vacant seat in Student
grams and special events.
Almost 800 parents preregistered,
but Bowman said she expects more
parents to come.
The event offers a variety of activi
ties, including a barbecue with Chan
cellor Paul Hardin Friday. Also, many
residence halls will sponsor pre-game
brunches, student aid officials will
present a financial aid open house Fri
day afternoon and the Senior Class will
sponsor a student organization open
house in the Student Union.
Kelly Lindsey, a senior class mar
shal, said the open house was for any
one involved in student organizations
who would like to show his parents
what they do.
The program used to be held during
the spring, but last year the weekend
was changed to the fall. "The fall is a
more natural time. It catches the back-to-school
atmosphere," said Bowman.
She also said that by second semester,
there really are no freshmen, because
they have adjusted to life at the Univer
sity. Planning for the weekend began last
spring, said Bowman. The $10 prereg
istration fee for parents helps cover
administration costs and the printing of
a brochure about the weekend.
Some people feel embarrassed at the
thought of spending the weekend with
their parents, but freshman Drexel Doss
of Asheville did not. "My parents are
my friends. Anyone who is embar
rassed, well that's just not right."
Will Davis, a freshman from
Midlothian, Va. also said he was look
ing forward to seeing his parents. "I
haven't seen them for 50 days."
Christy Fitz-William, a freshman
from Gastonia, gave up a football date
to attend the game with her parents.
Still, Fitz-William said, "He said he'd
ask me out again."
Bowman said she hoped the pro
gram would make it easier for parents
to become involved in their son's or
daughter's experience at the Univer
sity. "We're trying to build a tradition."

ties and needed to look closely at fears
which are often exaggerated. She said
quiet settings should be used to talk
about emotional issues instead of hold
ing public hearings.
Brown said she was opposed to the
Pittsboro Street extension and felt that
it would be obstructive because it would
run right through the middle of town.
"The extension should be taken off
of all plans." Instead of the extension,
the town should work on traffic reduc
tion by increasing mass transportation
and building more park-and-ride lots.
Former council member Bill Thorpe,
who lost his bid for a third term in 1 987,
said he was a good choice for the coun
cil because the town needs representa
tives other than environmentalists.
Thorpe has lived in Chapel Hill for
the past 20 years and served on the
town council from 1977 to 1981 and
from 1983 to 1987.
"The people of Chapel Hill have
concerns about the growth and man
agement of their city, and they rely on
their town council representative to be
responsive to those concerns. I am fully
qualified to be such a representative."
Challenger Alan Rimer is a mem
ber of the Chapel Hill Planning Board.
Rimer said he would like to see more
air pollution controls. He said emission
controls for cars were coming, so it
would be expensive because of equip
ment and tune-ups.
. To keep costs down, he said the
transportation department should in
stall computerized traffic signals. "This
would reduce air pollution because cars
would be sitting for as little time as
possible."
Rimer said he would also like to see
the town have a hazardous waste day
once a year. "People could bring their
hazardous waste to a disposal site where
it would be disposed of properly."
Tuesday's campus election.
It is not fair for students to vote on
fees that will not affect them, Student
Congress member Carlos Cerezo
Suarez (Dist. 3) told the GPSF.
An example of problems that can
arise from this is graduate students
voting to fund undergraduate teaching
awards through student fees last spring,
he said. "Graduate students had no
business voting on that."
Graduate students are also forced to
pay for things through their student
fees that are used exclusively by under
graduates, he said.
The referendum will apply only to
future increases in fees, said Student
Congress member Jurgen Buchenau
(Dist. 3).
Congress District 18 in Tuesday's spe
cial election.
There are no candidates on the ballot
for the vacant seat in District 16.
Kontogeorgopoulos, from Toronto,
held a seat in Student Congress last
year, but moved out of his district and
had to give up his seat. "I feel I have the
experience to do a good job," Konto
georgopoulos said. Last year he worked
on a proposal that dealt with allowing
freshmen to move out of Craige Resi
dence Hall and into a residence hall
with more freshmen.
"Last year on Student Congress, I
did a lot of observing because I didn't
want to jump in and make mistakes.
But this year, I am ready to deal with all
issues."

Commons area planned
By JEFF MOYER
Staff Writer i
The town of Carrboro is finalizing
its plans to build a town commons area
for the Farmers' Market and for a band
stand for local concerts.
The commons will be located next
to the Carrboro Town Hall on land that
was once used as a ball field. The land
will be a permanent location for the
Farmer's Market.
"At this time, the Farmers' Market is
on a lease agreement at the present site,
and we are trying to give them a perma
nent home," said Carrboro Town
Manager Robert Morgan. "With a 90
day notice, the owner of the present site
could evict the market."
The commons area will consist of
two buildings to be used by farmers
along with a bandstand for area per
formances, Morgan said. The band
stand will also be used on Saturdays as
part of the market. There will be a trail
around the park for recreational use and
a children's playground.
"The Carrboro government is pro
viding the land to the farmers on a
permanent basis and will be providing
the routine maintenance of the facil
ity," Morgan said.
Carrboro Assistant Town Manager
Larry Gibson said the proposal, still in
its planning stages, would cost about
$400,000. "Projected expenditures may
come down a little when the plans are
finalized and building actually begins."
Most of the money has been raised
from community projects such as the
Lioness pumpkin sale last fall and the
sale of T-shirts at the Farmers' Market,
said Catherine Peele, treasurer for the
Town Commons Task Force. Orange
County donated a $15,000 grant to the
project.
Gibson said the University as well as
Research Triangle corporations may
be interested in donating money be
cause it would be a means of bringing
people to the area by making the com
munity a more attractive place to live.
"The majority of money will have to
come from corporations and founda
tions." Peele said only a small portion of the
Students pay about $205 in student
fees now, Buchenau said.
Graduate students will continue to
pay all fees they are charged for now,
including the $9.50 activity fee, he said.
Other fees graduate students would
continue to pay include student legal
services and fees for the Student Rec
reation Center.
"I think it's something that benefits
undergraduates, also," Cerezo-Suarez
said.
The referendum was passed by Stu
dent Congress with a 16-6-1 vote, with
one of the nay votes coming from Jef
frey Beall (Dist. 7), a graduate member
of congress. Some members of con
gress, particularly Student Congress
Speaker Gene Davis, opposed the ref
shelter for South Campus students and
a shuttle for off-campus students.
Kontogeorgopoulos is co-president of
the Association of International Stu
dents. Hewitt, from Wilson, is interested
in making positive changes on campus.
"I have the ability to look at campus
issues with an open mind which is a
valuable tool," she said.
Through Student Congress, Hewitt
hopes to communicate with a large
group of people.
Hewitt wants to establish an off
campus bus route at night that would
run about every two hours until the
library closes at 2 a.m
Hewitt is vice chairwoman of the
delegation for UNC's North Carolina
Student Legislature. "The experience
that I bring with legislature is valuable
funds had been raised. "The total
amount raised including expenses is
not much more than $20,000."
Morgan said other interested organi
zations may contribute money. "Agri
cultural foundations may be interested
in contributing to the -commons be
cause of the Farmers' Market," he said.
"The Carrboro Farmers' Market is
one of the most successful in the state.
It is a model which we hope will be an
example to the state on how to run a
Farmers' Market."
Chapel Hill:
Police were called to 122 Mal
lette St. Tuesday when a man found
that someone had switched the li

He was issued a citation for loitering.
A man contacted police Tuesday
when he could not get his car back
from a friend he had loaned it to. His
friend, Joseph Mescall of D-ll N.

den outside her window. The resi
dence was checked and found secure.
