"The Student Body" sculpture has
become the vehicle of more controversy
with the actions taken by a group calling
themselves Good Morning, UNC.
The anonymous group of students
placed trash bags on the statues located
in front of Davis Library during the
early morning hours of Dec. 5. Radio
station WCHL received a telephone call
from one of the group's members at
about 5:30 a.m.
Brenda Wright, afternoon news an
chor at WCHL, said the incident was in
protest of recent U.S. military action in
the Middle East.
On a tape of the telephone conver
sation, the female caller, who did not
identify herself, said, "We're a small
group calling ourselves Good Morning,
UNC, a take-off of the movie, 'Good
Morning, Vietnam.
"Now it's 'The Student Body in Body
Bags.' I think the symbolism is pretty
clear," the caller said.
The female caller said Good Morn
ing, UNC encouraged the University to
leave the bags in place. The group chose
the statues as a means to communicate
messages about political issues to stu
dents. The woman said the group may con
tinue to put them back in place every
night, Wright said.
Lt. Marcus Perry, University police
crime prevention officer, said the de
partment received a call at 6:43 a.m.
complaining about the trash, bags. The
bags were then removed from the statues.
"There was absolutely no damage to
the statues," he said. University police
placed additional patrols around the
statues when they were first put up, and
it is now part of the regular patrol route,
he said.
"Things have quieted down quite a
bit," Perry said.
Dana Lumsden, an organizer of
Community Against Offensive Statues,
said this was not the first incident of
late-night marauders working around
the statues. Members of the College
Republicans hung signs on the statues
last week, and orange construction cones
were placed on the heads of the statues
early Monday morning.
No one has claimed responsibility,
for the latter incident. Lt. Perry said he,
was unaware of a report about the cones.
Lumsden said the actions were noi"
organized or effective. "(These groups)
are taking out their anger on a work of'
art.
Paul Baker, evening supervisor at
Davis Library, said he hadn't heard of
any actions against the statues.

Neighbors of the proposed Middle.
Bolin Creek Greenway say they were
misled concerning the use of their
property designated for a town conser
vation easement. .
Owners of the property say they gave
up their rights to develop the land with
the understanding that it would be
maintained for conservation purposes.
The Middle Bolin Creek Greenway is
nothing like what neighbors had in mind
when they gave up their land, area
residents said.
The $200,000 greenway, a ten-foot
wide asphalt path which will connect
Airport Road and Elizabeth Street, is
designed to be part of a complex of
trails throughout Chapel Hill.
Green ways are a network of public lands
and trails that usually follow major
streams.
Jerry Romanovsky, resident of Vil
lage Green Condominiums, said his
development deeded land to the town
for use as a buffer between the condo
miniums and Bolin Creek. The
development's owners were told the
land would probably be used for a
woodland path, Romanovsky said.
"The land was deeded to the town
greenway say town violated, ttm
understanding that it The commission tries to take into I $M ,
with the clear understanding that it
wmiiri iv used for a nature trail." he
said.
Romanovsky said Village Green
owners sold the land to the town for a
"nominal sum of money" when the
development was first being built. The
land was deeded to the town in order to
obtain a special use permit necessary to
build the condominiums.
Officials would not have considered
paving the greenway if the town had not
received a grant from the state to build
a bike path, Romanovsky said. The state
agreed to contribute $24,000 to the
project if it was suitable for bike traffic.
"I'm not sure the state should be
spending that kind of money now,"
Romanovsky said.
Andy Sachs, Greenways Commis
sion chairman, said he agreed that plans
for the greenway probably would not
have included a paved path if state funds
had not been offered. Although plans
for the greenway are not definite, the
path almost definitely will be paved,
Sachs said.
"The momentum is definitely in that
direction," he said. "The need for a
bicycle path and the need to reduce
traffic congestion warrant paving the
trail."

Billing procedures and waiting lists
for classes from the new Caroline
telephonic registration have caused
some students contusion.
The bills, which were sent to stu
dents Nov. 30, include all charges in
curred before Nov. 28, the last day ot
the first registration window.
Students must either pay the bill or
turn in a waiver before Dec. 20. If they
do not, their registrations will be can
celed. A second bill will be sent out be
tween the end of January and the be
ginning of February and will cover
any changes in students' bills incurred
after Nov. 28.
Students whose bills have increased
since Nov. 28 will be required to pay
the difference, and students whose bills
have decreased will have the amount
credited to their accounts.
Caroline's course waiting list also
has been a source of concern for some
students. Waitlists will be purged af
ter some cancellations are made over
Winter Break.
. "At that point, students really need
to be in a class or not to be in a class,"
said Donna Redmon, assistant Uni
versity registrar.
Students will need to find another
way to register for their classes or
register for a different class.
Although waitlisted hours have
been treated as registered hours for
billing purposes, bills will remain
unchanged for most students because
tuition rates are equal for all hour
totals of 12 and above. Full-time stu
dents are required to take at least 12
hours.
Jack Donnelly, professor of politi
cal science and undergraduate adviser,
said he was concerned that many of
the students on waitlists were unaware
of the impending purge.
Redmon said the purge was men
tioned twice in the Directory of
Classes
consideration the concerns of Chapel
Hill residents, Sachs said.
"I like the idea of greenways that are
integrated with neighborhoods, not ram
through them," he said. "I don't think
greenways have to harm neighbor
hoods." But Larry Slifkin, president of the
Hidden Hills Neighborhood Associa
tion, said he thought the Middle Bolin
Creek Greenway would damage his
neighborhood. He said members of his
community were also misled about how
land they set aside for the town would
be used.
"The town said the Hidden Hills
property would not be used for anything
more than a woodland trail," Slifkin
said. "The one big bone of contention
between the folks in the valley and the
greenway folks is whether a 10-feet
wide asphalt path is a woodland trail."
Slifkin said neighbors of the proposed
greenway were not against the ideas of
greenways and parks, but they felt that
this particular project could be better
planned.
"The point that makes some of us
upset is that we're put in the position of
opposing public parks, biiikm saia.
"We don't want to do that."
New scanner
By ERIK ROGERS
Staff Writer
Area drivers who are tired of getting
speeding tickets can look to a new sign
as their savior.
The Orange County Fraternal Order
of Police (FOP) purchased a $7,000
speed scanner that will alert drivers of
their speed.
"The sign is easily visible from the
road," said J.G. Booker, Carrboro police
investigator. The sign is approximately
6 feet off the ground and contains a
digital readout of numbers approxi
mately 3 feet tall that indicate drivers'
speeds.
The FOP held several fund-raisers to
purchase the device, Booker said. Ob
taining the scanner has been a six-month
project, he added.
"We (FOP) normally raise about
$10,000 a year through fund-raisers,"
he said.
The scanner will occupy certain
county areas over two-week intervals,
Booker said. Presently, it stands on the
side of Airport Road in Chapel Hill.
The scanner is not meant to serve as
an enforcer, but merely as an educator
and a reminder, Booker said.
"It's our way of showing the com
munity that we care," said Booker, also
a third-term treasurer for the 70-member
1 DTHJonathan Grubbs;

J.G.Booker,:
Carrboro police investigator
FOP. "Our intentions as law enforcers
is not to give drivers tickets. So this is
our way of trying to help them out."
On a scale of one to 10, with 10
representing a high number of county
drivers that speed, Booker said he gave
Orange County a five.
Carrboro Police Capt. Ben Callahan
said he would like to set up the scanner
on the north side of Carrboro for people
coming in from Burlington.
Jane Cousins, Chapel Hill police
planner, said the scanner might occupy
numerous roads in Chapel Hill in the
future, including its present location on
Airport Road.
"We already know it will be placed:
on Airport Road," Cousins said Tuesday.
"We are not sure about any of the other
locations because they are only possi
bilities." :
Regardless of where the scanner will,
be placed, Cousins said she was grate-;
ful for the timely object.
"I think it's good that the county has;
got something like this because some:
people do not realize how fast they're;
going," she said. "Some of the roads are;
wide, and some of them do not have that;
much traffic on them, so (people) may;
speed without even realizing it."
