f r i (flat md ) cy Volume 99, Issue 52 Bilk to be sent minus propos tuition increase By JoAnn Rodak Staff Writer Despite uncertainty about a proposed tuition increase, the University cashier's office will begin billing students July 5 for tuition and fees for fall semester based on last semester's rates. The cashier's office will bill any tu ition increase later, as it has done in the past, said Sam Barnard, office director. "We cannot predict the tuition rate and what bills for individual students will be," he said. Freshmen and transfer students will be billed starting July 5, and bills for returning students will be mailed begin ning July 9. Payments are due by July 22 and 29, respectively. "We're encouraging students to go ahead and pay the first bill to guarantee the class schedule they registered for by phone last spring," Barnard said. North Carolina law requires students to pay their tuition and fees in full before beginning classes. Students' schedules will be canceled if bills are not paid by the due date. Cancellation notices will be mailed beginning Aug. 8. Students who pay the first bill in full will receive their schedules by mail. The cashier's office will enclose an insert in the first billing to notify stu dents of a possible increase, Barnard said. "We will notify students of their final bills as soon as possible after the appro priate boards have taken action and this office is officially notified," he added. The second billing should be mailed sometime in September, Barnard said. The tuition increase proposal is in its second week of deliberations in a Gen eral Assembly conference committee, but no compromise has been reached. Massive fracas injures Staff report Recent youth violence, including gunfire during a melee outside a down town nightclub, won't be tolerated in Chapel Hill, Town Manager Cal Horton said. "It'soutrageous behavior and we've got to find a way to stop it," Horton said Tuesday. Chape Hill police said as many as 800 people were involved in a brawl on Franklin Street about 3 a.m. Tues day. About 400 people were leaving "Club Vogue" dance night at Cat's Cradle, a popular music club, when the fracas began. "It was an absolute mess," said Chapel Hill Police Capt. Ralph Pendergraph. The crowd involved mainly area college and high school students, he said. "There were fights everywhere." Two people reported they were shot at and two others were assaulted and treated for cuts and bruises at UNC Hospitals. "A number of them were involved Statues moved to less iitO y" ik i lift IfW ' w j .)J OTHKeilh Nelson Statues relocated between Art, like Thursday, ed The two houses of the state legisla ture are try ing to work out an agreement over how much to raise tuition. The Senate has proposed a 40 percent in crease for in-state students and a 25 percent increase for out-of-state stu dents over a two-year period. The House has asked for a 20 percent in-state in crease and 25 percent for out-of-state students. Student Body President Matt Heyd said the conferencecommittee was lean ing toward about a 33 percent increase for in-state students and about a 25 percent increase for out-of-state stu dents. Eleanor Morris, director of scholar ships and student aid, said the second billing would not affect students on financial aid more than other students. "We've always had enough (finan cial aid) for students," which includes scholarships, grants, loans and work study salaries, Morris said. "(But) there may not be enough in scholarship money. Students must be willing to borrow and work for some if not all of it." The financial aid office cannot make changes in scholarship awards until the second bill is mailed after the semester begins, &lio said. "We haven't the slightest idea of who's going to get aid or when," Morris added, referring to the second billing. Barnard said that not getting all tu ition and fees in one lump sum would prevent the University from rehiring faculty and staff at the beginning of the semester. "The state as a whole is in dire straits," he said. "We won't get paid until Mon day." The state is holding paychecks for state personnel until the next fiscal year begins on July 1. in fights," Pendergraph said. "It got so out of control that one of the businesses Hardee's was forced to close." Just before 3 a.m., Willis Alston said he was attacked in a parking lot. Police found apuddle of blood in an alley near Cat's Cradle, then found Alston lying nearby. He had been beaten and kicked in the head. He was taken to UNC Hospitals, where he was treated and released. About the same time, police were called to the same emergency room, where a Raleigh man was receiving stitches in the head after being attacked near Cat's Cradle by five men. Robert Bynum Jr., 21 , told police he had been walking to his car when the men pushed him down some stairs and began to hit and kick him. About 3 a.m., Clare Pennix, 19, of Chapel Hill, said she was driving from the parking lot at Tarheel Textbooks when a Honda with four or five men inside blocked her way. A passenger in the Honda pulled a shotgun and fired at her car at close range. No one was Hamilton and Bynum halls morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere. G.K.

The material was donated by The Scrap Restraining order By Ashley Fogle Staff Writer The Student Activity Funds Office will look for ways to circumvent a re straining order that threatens to leave bills unpaid until fall, but local vendors say they are afraid they will not be paid old debts. Student Supreme Court Chief Jus tice Mark Bibbs issued the order June several, alarms town injured, but damage to the car was esti mated at $1,200. Craig Jones, 1 7, of Pittsboro, reported that someone had shot at him with a shotgun as he sat in a car in the Hardee's parking lot. He was not injured. The car received $700 in damage, and two other parked cars also were hit. 'There was no indication that any one knew the people doing the shoot ing," Pendergraph said. Police have not made any arrests by Wednesday after noon, but Pendergraph said he expected some. He said police were asking for information that might help identify the gunmen. Authorities said they weren't sure what spurred the free-for-all, although Pendergraph said alcohol likely was a factor. "There seems to be no discernible reason for either the shootings or the assaults," he said. "There was a high level of emotion in the crowd." Downtown youth violence has in creased recently, Pendergraph said. "It seems to be coincidental with some of conspicuous location By Brooke Tyson Staff Writer University Physical Plant workers moved the controversial sculpture "The Student Body" Tuesday and Wednes day from its Davis Library location to the courtyard between Hamilton, Man ning and Bynum halls. "We're moving them and putting them in one at a time," Physical Plant worker William Howard said. The statues are a gift from the UNC Class of 198S. Immediately after the statues were placed in front of Davis Library last October, they were the sub ject of heated debate. Many groups felt the statues por trayed racist and sexist stereotypes and objected to the sculpture's location near the library entrance, which made it hard to avoid. In January, days after the sculpture was vandal ized. Chancellor Paul Hardin announced the relocation of the statues to the courtyard. "I'm surprised they moved them," University community since 1893 Chapel Hill, rO'V ' 1 18 in response to a complaint brought by Student Congress Rep.

"Over the past year and a half to two years, we've had more reports of weapons, more confrontations and more ... group attacks." Horton and Police Chief Arnold Gold are discussing ways to reverse the youth violence trend and will re view options for making downtown clubs more responsible for late night crowds, Pendergraph said. He declined to discuss specific alternatives. "We will be making some contacts with other merchants in the area," he said. "Right now we're just meeting and talking. "I can tell you there will be a move to make (nightclubs) more aware, and hopefully they will take more respon sibility on their own for reducing this problem." Frank Heath, owner of Cat 's Cradle, said he would discontinue Club Vogue See FIGHT, page 4A said Lem Butler, a senior from Raleigh. "It took a long enough time." Patrick Johnson, a recent graduate and staff member of the Black Cultural Center, said, "I think the move is a good thing, but I think it should be placed in an artistic setting." Johnson saidthe move would not end all the controversy. "It's always going to bring back all the negative things,"he said. "I'm still insulted." Tom Sichko, work management en gineer, said the move would cost the University $6,000. This cost includes constructing a new base, moving the statues and restoring the old base next to Davis Library. Funds left by the Class of '85 for the maintenance of the statues will pay for the move. William Massey, associate vice chan cellor for University relations, said moving the sculpture and repairing the vandalized statue had depleted the fund completely.

Under the restraining order, Sung is unable to perform these duties. Student Body Treasurer Josh Seigel is in New York this summer. Louise Kowalsky, SAFO account ing technician, said that despite the re straining order, the office would not be forced to shut down. SAFO officials are considering ways to get payments ap Residence areas divided, made more manageable By Tabitha Logan Staff Writer The three largest residence hall areas will be divided and led by new directors beginning in July, said Al Calarco, as sociate housing director. The Scott Residence College, Morehead Confederation and Olde Campus areas each will be divided into two areas, creating a total of three new areas. The Department of University Hous ing is breaking down the areas because an internal study concluded they were unmanageable, Calarco said. "We're breaking them down because the area directors supervised too many people," he said. Calarco said the following changes would be made by the housing depart ment: Carmichael and Whitehead will form one new area, leaving Avery, Teague and PaTker in Scott College. Henderson Residence College with Alexander, Connor and Winston dor mitories will split away from the Morehead Confederation, leaving Cobb and Joyner in that area. Olde Campus will be divided into the Upper Quad, consisting of Manly, Ruffin, Grimes and Mangum, and the Lower Quad, with Aycock, Graham, Stacy, Everett and Lewis. Housing Director Wayne Kuncl said the housing department was making some administrative changes to benefit students and staff. "It has to do more with department organization and staff ing," he said. Calarco said although those areas had three great directors, the areas were too dependent on them. "If they left, it would be hard for a new person to replace them," he said. 'There have been a variety of combi nations in the past, and we're going back to a previous arrangement in di viding one area." The Morehead Confederation dor mitories were grouped together two years ago because one area director left late in the summer, Calarco said. An other director wanted to try managing a larger area, so the areas were combined, he said.

"One plan we're discussing now is mailing Josh all student government requisitions and checks that need his signature and having him mail them back," Kowalsky said. There is little danger of creating prob lems with local vendors who are ex pecting payment on their accounts, See SAFO, page 5A Joyner area director, said the three ar eas' large size contributed to the divi sions. "Because of the size, it's hard to spend any one-on-one time with stu dents or resident assistants," she said. Because the Residence Hall Asso ciation, the overall governing body of the dormitories, divides campus hous ing into different areas, its leaders will have to decide how to handle the area changes, Kuncl said. RHA will keep its structure accord ing to the old area designations, said Scott Peeler, RHA president. "We aren't changing our structure for two reasons," Peeler said. One rea son is that too much time and energy would have to be spent amending the RHA constitution, he said. "This time can be better spent on dorm issues like recycling and racial diversity."
