In response to the near riot Sunday
morning at the Smith Center during

decided to distribute numbers for places
in line between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. on
Sundays, instead of the current policy
of handing out numbers any time be

Next year's scheduled renovation of
Graham Residence Hall will almost
definitely be delayed until at least 1 99 1
and possibly as long as four years,
housing officials said Monday.
"We haven't made a final decision,"
Housing Director Wayne Kuncl said.
"We'll definitely have a decision by
the end of next month. We're still
examining our options. But it is likely
that Graham will be delayed."
The potential for the delay has been
created by increases in steam and elec
tricity rates, Kuncl said. The housing
department learned of the increases
too late to raise rental rates this year
and had to absorb the cost of the in
creases. This lowered the amount of
funds the housing department had
reserved for renovations, he said.
Next year's housing rates will proba
between 6 and 10 a.m.," said Sean
Wilkinson, CAA cabinet member in
charge of ticket distribution. "This will
give people a set time."
CAA president Lisa Frye said the
CAA would publicize the policy change
in any way possible.
About 12:25 a.m. Sunday morning,
most of the 1,200 to 1,400 students in
line for tickets at the Smith Center
rushed forward in response to the news
that CAA members were going to begin
tower and posted a sign reading, "CIA
Off Campus."
Judge Lowry Betts consolidated the
three charges into one charge.
Jones did not protest the sentence or
say that he would appeal it.
Jones could not be reached for
comment Monday because he was
serving part of his sentence. He will be
allowed to go to classes but must remain
in jail during weeknights, weekends
and holidays.

"The concept of the minor will be
decided by the administrative board,
but there are a lot of gates to go through
to get it (minor)," she said.
Cell said the adminstrative board
would meet in December to discuss the
idea of the minor and might vote on
bly rise more than usual because of the
increase in utility rates, Kuncl said.
If Graham's renovations are delayed
one year, they may be delayed as many
as four years, he said. Aycock,01d
West and Old East Residence Halls are
scheduled for renovations after Gra
ham, and if Graham is delayed one
year, it may be moved to the end of the
schedule, after Old East.
Old East needs to be renovated by
the University's bicentennial in Octo
ber 1993 because it is the oldest build
ing at the oldest state-supported uni
versity, Kuncl said.
Efforts to reach Residence Hall
Association President Liz Jackson were
unsuccessful Monday. But she said
last month she would not object if the
housing department were forced to
delay Graham's renovation for finan
cial reasons.

"When we came out, people pan

thought they were running to break in

Frye said the fact that numbers were

people were still wide awake and the
way the line was formed also contrib

of Graham, said some Graham resi
dents would be upset if renovations
were delayed. "I'm sure people won't
be pleased. I don't think anybody would
protest.."
Some Graham residents may object
because the residence hall obviously
needs to be renovated, Rose said.
Initially, the housing department
planned to pay for the renovations from
its own funds, but other possibilities
are now being considered, Kuncl said.
"We're looking at the option of
borrowing money," he said. "That way
we could spread the cost over a longer
period of time."
If the housing department decides to
finance the renovations, it may be able
to do more than one residence hall per
year, Kuncl said.
"We may be able to do two build
ings at one time," he said. "So, we may
actually be speeding up the process."

Controversy
By JOHANNA HENDERSON
Staff Writer
Residents and property owners pre
sented differing opinions Monday night
during a public hearing concerning the
proposed historic district in the area of
West Cameron and McCauley streets.
The district would include several
homes and fraternities, one sorority,
the Carolina Inn and the UNC power
plant.
Fraternity alumni and representa
tives expressed support for the pro
posed historic area.
Henry Clark, representing S igma Nu
fraternity, said most of the fraternity
houses in the area needed money for
major renovations. He said alumni
would give more generously if their
contributions were tax deductible.
If the district is approved, all dona
tions to institutions in the area will be
tax deductible.
Neal Holmes of Phi Kappa Sigma
fraternity said, "We own perhaps the
ugliest piece of property in Chapel
Hill."
Holmes said renovations were under
way on the fraternity house but the

Whisenant said after he read about
the sentence Friday, he called Orange
County District Attorney Carl Fox to
protest the severity of it. Fox told
Whisenant that if Jones chose to ap
peal and Whisenant wrote a letter to
the judge expressing his point of view,
the judge would probably commute
Jones' sentence.
Whisenant said he called Jones after
his conversation with Fox, but Jones
said he did not wish to appeal.

Kappa Kappa Gamma alumna and
Chapel Hill resident Mary Elizabeth
Ford also spoke in favor of the district.
She said the sorority's alumnae were
delighted that their house was included
in the proposal.
Shelton Reed of 126 Mallette St.
said he hoped the establishment of a
historic district would bring enough
attention to the area to slow or arrest
deterioration.
"We ' ve witnessed a slow but steady
physical deterioration of the neighbor
hood," he said.
Isabelle Lewis, a homeowner and
resident of the area, said the area was
one of the few neighborhoods still intact
in Chapel Hill and that it needed to be
protected.
Other residents, however, were less
favorable toward the idea of the his

conducts 1 ,000 watts of power, could
not be turned on while Jones was on it.
