People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA) may award $200 to
anyone who takes a picture depicting
animals in miserable situations in UNC
labs, Ingrid Newkirk, PETA National
Director said Thursday.
"UNC is a huge, vastly funded uni
versity, and the amount of information
disclosed is so paltry. When the Uni
versity gets this defensive, things are
worse than we know.
"There are so many restrictions re
garding entrance to the lab, and there is
secrecy in letting people in to look at
the lab," Newkirk continued. "All indi
cations at UNC show that these folks
have a big problem and know it. It's

Domino's Pizza, said Chris Derby,
director of the Carolina Dining Serv

possibly contracting with Marriott as
Domino's has for the last year. Restau

Student leaders at other UNC
system schools have expressed sup
port for UNC Student Body Presi
dent Brien Lewis' Tuition Defense
Initiative (TDI), and some have be
gun implementation of the proposal
at their schools.
Lewis sent a letter outlining TDI
to student body presidents at all UNC
system schools asking for their sup
port and input two weeks ago. TDI,
drafted in response to this year's 20
percent in-state tuition increase and
15 percent out-of-state increase, calls
for six provisions:

Town council candidates discuss noise
By JESSICA LANNING
City Editor
Chapel Hill Town Council candi
dates said Thursday at a forum spon
sored by student government that a
decision on the noise ordinance would
be hard to make, and student input
makes the difference.
Incumbent Art Werner, vying for his
second term, said that he thought the
noise ordinance worked reasonably well
and that the responsibility for the prob
lems and complaints arising now lies
with neighbors respecting each other.
Julie Andresen, also running for her
second term, said she thought creating
"noise zones" with different standards
could solve the problem. "Everyone
needs peace and quiet at some time."
David Pasquini, an incumbent look
ing for his third term, worked on the
noise ordinance committee in 1987.
While they made progress on the ordi
nance, it may need fine tuning, he said,
urging student involvement. "You
probably are the group that is affected
the most."
Alan Rimer, a member of the Plan
ning Board running for his first term,
said he did not think a major overhaul
going to take many years and a lot of
hard work to find out what they're
hiding. As people discuss the case, I
hope that more people from inside will
come out."
John Stokes, UNC director of Insti
tutional Relations, said his reaction to
PETA's proposed photo contest was
"profound indifference. We don't treat
animals cruelly, and they won't have
any takers."
In a special newsletter mailed to
PETA members who are also UNC
students and alumni, the organization
requested that members write to Chan
cellor Paul Hardin to ask for improve
ments in the way animals are treated at
their facilities and to withhold contri
butions until he does.
like to are invited to put in a bid," Derby
said. A decision has not been made as to
whether only one or multiple pizza
services will be offered to students, he
said.
Local pizzerias are eager to have the
opportunity to bid for the program. Al
Vitaro, general manager of Checkers
Pizza, said the Marriott-Domino's
contract has had an impact on his busi
ness, and being able to put in a bid
would give Checkers a chance, too.
"I'd love to be involved with the
meal ticket as soon as we get the mate-,
rial on how to bid," Vitaro said. "We've
had very little student trade because of
the meal ticket, and this would allow

letter from Jeffrey Cannon, assistant
dean of students and judicial programs
officer, informed him that the terms of
his probation meant he couldn't con

appeal the decision by the 5 p.m.

of the ordinance was necessary, and
reducing the ordinance to 50 decibels
was unrealistic. "There is a happy
medium someplace."
Bill Thorpe, also a challenger for a
council position, said that dialogue
between community neighbors was
important and that neighbors needed to
watch their noise levels.
Joyce Brown, a newcomer to the
race, said she lived in an older neigh
borhood with fraternity houses nearby
and found the noise coming from these
houses disturbing. "I think we would
all like to live in peace."
Helen Urquhart, also a newcomer to
the race, said she lived across from the
Chi Psi fraternity house, and when the
members had loud parties, she and her
neighbors took turns every half-hour to
an hour calling the police. She said
students had an obligation to turn down
their music down, noting that non-student
residents complain about the stu
dents, but not vice versa.
Mayor Jonathan Howes, running
unopposed for his second term, also
attended the forum.

PETA includes the following re
quests in the newsletter:
That UNC allow students and ani
mal protectionists to tour the labs regu
larly; That the labs stop using dogs and
cats from pounds; and
That the labs evaluate the use of
animals and make a commitment to
phase out animal use.
"We are not singling out UNC,"
Newkirk said. The organization has
filed a suit with the University of Ore

experiments with Texas Technical
Institute in Lubbock, Texas.

Mike Faison, assistant manager of
Gumby's Pizza, said he also would like
to take advantage of this opportunity.
"I think it's an excellent idea. It would
help out a lot."
Domino's Pizza will submit a bid for
a second contract term, said Randy
Easter, operations controller for the
Shefter Corporation, which owns the
Domino's franchises in the Triangle.
Easter said he was not upset that other
restaurants were being given the chance
to bid. "I think it's healthy that every

It didn't concern me at all. But this is
ridiculous. For me, it's basically expul

McKinley said he would take the case
to a civil court.

Zimbabwe and a member of the CIA

Michael Wilson, president at
UNC-Charlotte, said student gov

Student leaders at Appalachian
State University have also enacted
portions of TDI. The ASU student
senate passed a resolution in support
of TDI Sept. 19.
Besides working with other state
schools to lobby the N.C. General

comment on the issue because UNC
was involved in litigation with Stu
dents for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (SETA).
Andrew Peterson, a PETA member
and Chapel Hill resident, said he hoped
the proposed awards for photos would
work, but that he did not want lab
workers' jobs to be disrupted.
"Our (PETA'S) goal is make the
people remember until the University
lives up to its allegations," Peterson
said. "We want the University to up
grade the living conditions of the lab."
Dennis O'Connor, provost and vice
chancellor of academic affairs, has said
he thought animal treatment at UNC
was excellent and had followed all
national standards.
Domino's contract with Marriott has
worked well for the past year and bene
fits both Domino's and UNC students,
Easter said. "It makes things smoother
for the students, and it offers them a
better way to get what they want."
Several students said they would like
to have a choice of pizzas offered to
them. "It would be great," said Heather
Clapp, a sophomore from Sarasota, Fla.
"I'd take advantage of it. I really don't
think it's fair that Domino's gets the
monopoly of all the pizza business."
Bjorn DeBear, a freshman from New
York, agreed. "Unless it's extremely
expensive to implement the system, I
think it's a great idea."

No one else in the department would
be able to teach the class because they
would not have the necessary prepara

was, the students would be totally dis
rupted. There are 50 students, and all of
a sudden they're going to be out in the
cold. The whole process has no respect
for students."
Cannon confirmed Thursday that he
had notified McKinley in writing of the
terms of definite probation. Cannon
Honor court verdicts to stand
By JASON KELLY
Staff Writer
Decisions on summer and fall cases
made by unconfirmed honor court
members will stand, and the lack of
confirmation will not be cause for
appeal, Chancellor Paul Hardin said in
a letter Monday.
"Having reviewed this issue, it is my
judgment that the technical require
ment of Student Congress confirma
tion under these circumstances does
not render any hearing invalid, nor does
it render any judgment reached by such
a court invalid," Hardin wrote to Jef
frey Cannon, assistant dean of students
and judicial programs officer. "Lack of
confirmation under these circumstances
has not materially prejudiced the out
come of these cases."
Cannon said the issue had been re

said he could not comment further
because the case is still pending.
Richard Richardson, chairman of the
political science department, said that
as of Thursday he had received no word
that McKinley wouldn't be allowed to

teaching until I hear otherwise."
The class will definitely continue,
Richardson said, but the department
will make a decision about a replace

the chancellor reviewed the matter of
past cases. To prevent the issue from
being a future problem, Cannon said, it
would be reviewed by the Committee
of Student Conduct, which would try to
find solutions for the matter.
"I don't think the Instrument (of
Student Judicial Governance) will need
amending," Cannon said. "What's
necessary is a timing change. The
committee will probably change the
guidelines and procedures of the con
firmation process to make sure that the
situation we had this year will not arise
again."

Students reacted with disappoint
ment to word that McKinley may be
removed from teaching the class.
"A lot of us signed up for the class
because we knew he was teaching it,"

do something about this jointly. If he

trained according to the Instrument.
They would make the same decisions
with or without Student Congress'
rubber stamp. It's always worked this
way; it's not a big deal."
Student Congress Speaker Gene
Davis said the issue came up after some
members ofStudent Congress had
reviewed the Instrument closely.
"Confirmation has worked this way in
the past, but it leaves a loophole which
could have forced Chancellor Hardin
to rule against the Instrument. I believe
the situation has been resolved in the
least controversial way.
"It could have gone on this way, but
we're making sure that in the future we
abide by the Honor Code in confirming
court members as well as every other
activity." -
Dowling said she did not understand
why the congress brought up the issue.
"Congress has been very nit-picky this
year. I don't understand why they
brought it up. The list (of members)
