Student awards will be given in two traditional categories, academic and student activities. Fifty-six awards, covering departmental and student organization honors, fall into this divi sion. Two new categories have been added to this year's program to recognize outstanding faculty members. The Chancellor's Awards for Dis University to larg e Bf colored inaiiit 1L By MARCIE BAILEY Staff Writer The housing department is planning to auction about 1 ,000 gallons of dif ferent colored paints through the State Surplus Property Agency this month, while additional paint is being bought for residence hall room renovations. Steve Stoddard, housing support superintendent, said the paint was origi nally intended for student use in paint ing their rooms on Carolina Paint Day, but now that housing employees paint the rooms on a regular basis, students are using it less and less. As a result of University employees painting residence hall rooms, Caro lina Paint Day will no longer be held, he said. Wayne Kuncl, director of housing, said students would have the option of painting their rooms when they returned in the fall with a choice from a stan dardized array of pastel colors that the housing department will keep in stock. "This is the first year we're not having Carolina Paint Day," Stoddard said. "The paints sitting in Craige are about six or seven years old and are hard, outdated colors. They were requested several years back by students- and arc not being used now ."' vK-v-;v Stoddard said University- officials decided to auction the paints so they would not be wasted and to try to get some money back from the amount the University invested in the paints. Aldermen By MARY PERIV0LARIS Staff Writer The Carrboro Board of Aldermen continued discussion Tuesday night on a lingering issue that has caused rough waves in Orange County: the Univer sity Lake Watershed. Carrboro Planning Director Roy Williford concentrated on impervious surface restrictions on lots located in the watershed. These surfaces include streets, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, buildings and other roofed or paved structures that add to rainfall runoff. He said lots of more than five acres are allotted a 4 percent impervious 'Rock and Roll By BEVIN WEEKS Staff Writer Do you wince every time you hand over $10 to $15 for a new tape or CD (the one you really can't afford but absolutely have to have) Well, here's your chance to make up for those times by buying one when it will make a difference for someone. On Wednesday, April 1 1 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., the old Burger King store on Franklin Street will become the ultimate record store. Brand new, factory-sealed full-length CDs, CD singles, cassettes, posters and LPs will be available at a bargain price of two for $5. All proceeds from the sale will go to the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill and the Magic of Music Founda tion. The Ronald McDonald House is a home away from home for the families of children being treated at the Children's Hospital of North Carolina, and it provides convenient, low-cost housing for these families. It also gives them a chance to relax, to meet others in similar circumstances, and possibly, to share their emotional burdens with the staff and other families. The Magic of Music is a foundation that grants wishes such as music tapes, concert tickets, artists' autographs and pictures to terminally ill children. Organizers of Wednesday's "Rock and Roll Dreams" benefit hope to raise about $1,000 for each charity, said Barbara Myers, public relations and development coordinator for the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill. Some of the 2,000 pieces of material that will be available include novelty items like a stand-up Batman or Stevie Wonder, as well as albums not avail able in stores. "It's first-quality stuff," Myers said. "A lot of it is autographed by the artist." tinguished Teaching, the first new group, includes the Tanner Awards and the Graduate Teaching Assistant Awards. This will be the first year that the six $3,000 Tanner Awards, estab lished in 1956 to honor deserving ten ure track instructors, will be announced at this ceremony. This is also the first year that two $ 1 ,000 Graduate Teach ing Assistant Awards will be given. George Lensing, committee chair man for the Chancellor's Awards, said the committee was happy with this year's award choices. "We're glad to make the recognition of the outstand- ing teachers more public, and we are id1iul off The housing department is buying an off-white, antique color paint that will be used to cover the interior and exterior of residence halls being reno vated in the summer. "We are trying to standardize the paint color so we can go back and do touch-ups without having to try to match oddball colors," Stoddard said. "This standardization is for our benefit and for the benefit of the stu dents." Paint is being ordered now for the interior of Craige Residence Hall and for the interior and exterior of Teague Residence Hall this summer, Stoddard said. Paint is also being ordered for renovations in Ehringhaus and Spencer residence halls for the following sum mer. "This interiorexterior paint plan is a normal planned thing," Stoddard said. "We're not wasting by any means." Stoddard said the auctioning of the old paint would provide more storage space and would be a good way to get rid of the difficult to use, outdated col ored paint. Kuncl said some of the old paint had dates as far back as 1982 and had out lived its usefulness. "It wouldn't' "be? appropriate to use the old paint because it doesn't adhere to walls well and would probably come off a year after it was painted on. Auc- tioning off the old paint is a matter of cleaning house." sell continue discussion of surface, lots between two and four acres are allowed 6 percent and lots under two acres would receive a 12 percent allotment. Williford devised a gradu ated chart which showed the lot sizes and impervious surface percentages to supplement his presentation. Another restriction placed on water shed landowners will involve the divi sion of larger lots. When a land owner subdivides a larger lot and makes more than five divisions, one of the resulting lots would have to be at least five acres in size. Williford said an example would involve a 15-acre piece of land that could be divided into five two-acre Dreams' music sale to benefit area charities The Ronald McDonald House has never held a benefit like this before, Myers said. They chose to direct their attention . toward students and young graduates for this fund-raiser. "It's college material," Myers said. "We wanted to make a benefit for the community, also, ... to bring music to the community at a lot lower price than usual." Finger-lickin' good F 1 11 """" 1 " -' y r ...

The four $5,000 awards are funded through a 75-cent increase in student fees approved by students on the 1989 spring election ballot. Student Body President Bill Hildebolt will present the awards to winners chosen from 300 student nominations. Nominations received in February were narrowed to eight final ists. The selection committee chose the four final recipients based on original nominations, classroom visits, tele- I ... . 1. . 1 I . ,,L i iiMimini iniri 111 I is. w '1 K "'; "''.

Alderman Hilliard Caldwell said, "I can't support this." He said it was sad that parents worked hard throughout their lives to leave something to their children and then the land could not be equally distributed. He said many situ ations similar to this particular example would occur in the future. Williford said, "The problems have been with small lots in terms of imper vious surface. The majority of land is taken up in large chunks (acres) that can be developed." He said most half acre lots already were developed. Myers said the Ronald McDonald House hoped to repeat this venture next year, and that it was interested in work ing with a fraternity, sorority or other campus group in organizing a similar benefit for the 1990 fall semester. If you're not interested in expanding your music library at the moment, there is another way you can help out the Ronald McDonald House.

Grant Vinik, committee chairman for the Students' Awards, praised the work of the student committee, which was chosen by application. 'There is no way we could have done such a complete and thorough evaluation with out the persistence and diligence of committee members." Vinik then spoke of the awards them- selves. "The message behind our awards is one of thanks and gratitude to the faculty for their efforts to make our ' DTHJoe Muhl transit system, awaits the watershed Aldermen Jay Bryan said, "In gen eral the document (proposal) we are looking at is not what we are to ap prove. We want public comment." Williford reminded the board and the public that the Orange-Chatham Work Group recommended the alder men set a public hearing for May 15. The purpose of the hearing is to make adjustments in the amendments to the Carrboro Land Use Ordinance that will implement the Watershed Protection Strategy. The aldermen met March 27 to dis cuss the future of the watershed. UPC symbol received from consumers by June 30, 1990, the Scott Paper Company will contribute 5 cents to the Ronald McDonald House.

Soviet gets' lesson in : : i By WAGNER D0TT0 Staff Writer Chapel Hill's town council received a visit from a Soviet politician Tuesday night, who said he enjoyed the meeting and the learning experience it provided. Vladislav Nesterenko, a Moscow ; council member, said the Chapel Hill meeting Tuesday night was organized; ! and local council members were very ; efficient in the way they made deci-, ; sions. JI ; Nesterenko said this was the first ; time he had attended a council meeting ; in the United States. He said he was : satisfied with his experience and would make some suggestions on the way his : city council works. He said his council needed to speed up its decision-making" , process. Nesterenko, who is a physiologist, '. was elected last March for a five-year ; term as council member in Kuntzevskij, ! one of the 30 districts in Moscow. His ! district has 500,000 people, and, the ! council is composed of 1 50 members. ! This is his first term on the council. I r Nesterenko's trip to the United States ', was sponsored by the U.S. Department ! of Health and Human Services jn Washington and is not associated with the Soviet delegation that arrived in i town Tuesday night. Duke professor; Frank Starmer is his host, and he plans ! to stay in the country for two months. ! Nesterenko paid close attention to4 the council's discussion, which lasted about two hours, and could not stop taking notes and asking Starmer ques tions. ;i "I'm curious about how it works, how they argue, how they make deci sions," he said. ; ' ,i Council member Joe Herzenberg explained some of the council's inter nal procedures and said, "Politics is a very subtle game." Nesterenko said Moscow city coun cil members met two or three days every three months. He said Moscow council members spent too much time discussing the issues, sometimes fight ing one another, and made few deci sions. "At the end, the council approves some proposal made by a top official." He said he was impressed with the structure of the meeting of the Chapel Hill council, whose members follow a previously set agenda of discussion and have available all kind of information before making decisions. "We have to start from the very beginning. It's a very difficult job be cause the whole country's been restruc tured," Nesterenko said. Council members discussed a new sign development ordinance and de cided on the date for a public hearing to discuss the construction of public hous ing.
