By Malle Carpenter Staff Writer Orange County residents have sup ported putting a Libertarian candidate on the 1992 presidential ballot by add ing 4,200 signatures to a statewide peti tion requesting a third party option for N.C. voters. Libertarian presidential candidate Andre Marrou may appear on the N.C. ballot in 1992 following a petition for ballot placement that collected more than 64,000 signatures from N.C. vot ers. Orange County Commission Chair Neighbors: North Street subdivision would be damaging By Jackie Hershkowitz Staff Writer Development of the North Street sub division would damage the environ ment and the historical character of the surrounding neighborhoods, residents told the Chapel Hill Town Council at a public hearing Monday night. Council members decided to recess the hearing until Jan. 14. The Little Creek Company has re quested permission from the council to develop 5.5 acres located off North Boundary Street into 1 1 residential building lots. The land is home to many trees and a number of species of wildlife, said Bar bara Roth, a resident of the neighbor hood. "My main objection is based on envi ronmental concerns," Roth said. "It's an environmental travesty to put 1 1 lots on 5.5 acres." Gerry Barrett, who represented the Little Creek Company at Monday night's meeting, said the size of the proposed development actually ex ceeded the amount required by town ordinances. 'Besides the layout we've come up with, there is little way to reasonably use the land," Barrett said. Jean Wilkens, a neighborhood resi dent, said the houses in the area already are located so close to one another that you can actually hear what the neigh bors say when you're in your drive Search committee to By Chris Goodson Staff Writer After more than a year of studies, planning and sometimes heated discus sion, the Landfill Search Committee will meet tonight at 7:30 at Phillips Junior High School to discuss a report on the suitability of eight possible land fill sites. Eddie Mann, chairman of the search committee, said Tuesday that although the report on the remaining eight sites does not reveal any dramatic new find ings, it will provide the committee with valuable information. "Now we're looking at actual prop erty lines," he said. The committee began its search for a Honor Court By Heather Harreld Staff Writer Members of the Honor Court are receiving information now about han dling sexual assault cases, but it's not just legal training. They also are being trained to deal with the psychological reactions of as sault victims. Akbar Sharfi, an Honor Court mem ber, said the training would help court members empathize with the victim and the accused person. In the training we II learn how to make sure the victim's rights are not violated," Sharfi said. "It prepares us so we'll know how to handle the situa tion." The Orange County Rape Crisis Cen ter and the Student Health Service con duct the training sessions for Honor Court members and the student attor ney general's staff. They have been directing the programs since 1 989 when amendments to the Code of Student Conduct made sexual assault an Honor Code violation.

"I think there is a growing trend of discontent with the Republican candi date, and no one really knows who the Democratic candidate will be," he said. Commissioner Don Wilhoit said the Libertarian Party had not played a sig nificant role in county politics in the past. A few Libertarians were active in Orange County a few years ago, but now the party is practically non-existent in the county, Wilhoit said. Several local politicians agreed that way." More construction would in crease the problem, she said. "The price for us would be too high and the gain would not be that great," Wilkens said. Barrett said the development was designed to have as little environmental impact as possible. "We have proceeded in a way that would cause the least impact to the neighborhood," Barrett said. "We are trying to minimize land disturbance." One of the key issues discussed at the hearing was the proposed development of two lots that do not face streets, known as flag lots. According to a memorandum from Chapel Hill Town Manager Cal Horton, the town "discourages and restricts forming flag lots." Flag lots, generally located behind other properties, are discouraged be cause they are not easily accessible to public services such as police and fire protection, and garbage collection. "Certainly, a precedent of flag lots in the neighborhood already exists," Barrett said. "I also happen to think they add a tremendous amount of charm to the town." Council member Joe Herzenberg agreed with Barrett that flag lots can enhance a neighborhood. "I know we have a town policy against flag lots, but perhaps in the future that policy should be reconsidered," See NORTH ST., page 4 new landfill to serve all of Orange County by looking at 17 potential sites. The landfill now being used by the county will be full by 1997. The committee is actively consider ing eight sites after placing the remain ing sites on reserve at a meeting last month. One site was dropped from con sideration early in the process. The con troversial Site 5, located near Duke Forest, ison reserve. Site 3, near Horace Williams Airport, is still under consid eration. Mann added that in addition to prop erty and tax maps the report also pro vides other valuable information such as soil maps and information on historic sites near the potential sites. Detailed site maps, information on receives advice for sexual the program consisted of four parts. Each of the parts focuses on the trauma experienced by sexual assault victims and ways in which students involved in the judicial process can help victims through the hearings. The first part of the training process is an overview of University resources available to help the victim and the accused. During the second part, the Orange County Rape Crisis Center describes victims' specific reactions and helps dispel many myths and prejudices asso ciated with sexual assault. "This part of the program is impor tant because it explains reactions of victims," Cannon said. "This will ex plain why a victim might wait before reporting the incident." The other two parts of the program instruct members on some of the more detailed parts of the Student Code.

Fotzor Field A Marrou will have little impact on the 1992 presidential race. Orange County Democratic Party spokesman Mike Evans said the peti tion to allow a Libertarian candidate on the ballot does not indicate a strong third party position in the race. "The signatures do not commit the voters to the Libertarian Party," he said. 'The Libertarian candidate will have a hard time in the 1992 election."

The report also addresses concerns raised by citizens during the selection process. The new information will help the committee members narrow their deci sion, Mann said. Mann said although the number of sites could be narrowed to five at tonight's meeting, some committee members may not be ready to remove any sites from consideration. Another meeting has been tentatively scheduled for early December in case the number of sites could not be cut to five at tonight's meeting, he said. "It's very important that we stay to gether on this," Mann said. also include a discussion session in which members can raise concerns about handling sexual assault cases. The training program is beneficial to the students who hear sexual assault cases, Cannon said. "I think it helps the staff feel more confident in handling these types of cases. But until they get more experience, some members are still a bit hesitant." Bill Stallings, a first-year law student and former Honor Court member, said he thought the programs helped mem bers gain some insight of victims' emo tional trauma. "We don't want the victim to feel at all intimidated, but we still need to gather the facts we need to determine the case," Stallings said. The Honor Court is one of the best places for victims to find help, espe cially if they have been assaulted by another student, Stallings said. mMS&S and federal intervention in voluntary and contractual relations. A report from the Libertarian Party of North Carolina said that Marrou, a former Alaska State House Representa tive, will focus on the abolition of fed eral income tax in his campaign. John Hood, publicity and research director for the John Locke Foundation in Raleigh, said the recent emergence of the Libertarian Party for the upcoming presidential election is a result of prob lems in the Bush administration.

Committee member and geologist Daniel Textoris said he found informa tion in the new report that made him want to remove some of the sites, but he preferred to save his comments for the meeting. "There are some I would want to exclude," he said. Textoris also said he was unsure whether the committee would vote to remove any sites tonight. The committee members may want to discuss the report site by site and then vote in December, Textoris said. Committee member Chris Derby also said he was unsure if any sites will be removed from consideration tonight. 'There's just no way to tell what's go ing to happen when we get into these meetings," he said. assault cases 'The Honor Court can be very help ful to a victim of sexual assault if the accused is a student because the court can impose sanctions that affect a student's education," he said. As an Honor Court member, he never heard a sexual assault case, Stallings said. But these cases would be the most difficult ones for the court to handle and probably the most important because students need to feel safe at the Univer sity, he said. "If a student can't feel safe in the academic community, the person threat ening the student needs to be removed," he said. STATION uooa woxuUQira vnces.

Hood also said the Libertarians want a stronger president. "Libertarians do not want to hear prudence," he said. "They want things in starker, black-and-white terms." Hood said Marrou has made aboli tion of the federal income tax the focus of his campaign because Libertarian positions on many issues, such as abor tion, are too controversial. More voters will support Marrou's position on in come tax than if he had focused on more sensitive issues. Hood said. Students will take part in national fast Event recognizes hunger problem By Jennifer Talhelm Staff Writer Campus Y members are asking stu dents to celebrate Thanksgiving a little differently this year. Instead of eating the traditional tur key and dressing, students are asked to fast. But only for a day before the holi day. The Fast For World Hunger will be held from 5 p.m. tonight until 5 p.m. Thursday to remind students that many people go hungry all year. The event is part of a nationwide fast sponsored by Oxfam, a non-profit inter national group. Oxfam is active in 26 countries fighting poverty through edu cation and monetary aid. The Campus Y's Hunger afld Homelessness Outreach Project wjll sponsor the Chapel Hill fast. Partici pants will give up food, drink or both for the 24-hour period. ; "We hope to raise awareness and implement awareness of hunger both locally and globally," said Annika Goff, a HOPE co-chairwoman. Sarah White, a HOPE co-chairwoman, said the fast intentionally was held the week before Thanksgiving. "Thanksgiving's kind of turned into a gluttonous feast," she said. "(The fast) kindof makes people think about people that don't have any food because more people don t than do." Students and community members participating in the fast are asked to give Oxfam the money they would have spent on food. Tables will be set up in Lenoir Din ing Hall and Carolina Court for people to deliver their donations from 10 a.m. 2 p.m. and 4-7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. Donations also can be made in Chase Hall from 1 1 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. those days. Students can donate up to $5 directly from their meal cards. Chris Derby, Carolina Dining Services director, said he thought the fast was a good idea. "Personally, I think it's a good cause," Derby said. "That's why we've always let Oxfam ask for donations in the din ing halls and let people make donations from money that would normally be spent on our services." Goff said HOPE members wanted to raise $2,000 to $3,000. A large part of the donations traditionally comes from Greek organizations, she said. HOPE Co-chairman Kelley Kirven said he hoped the fast would stimulate discussion. "If we can get a lot of people to fast, it will encourage people to ask why they're fasting." Participants probably will have dif ferent reasons to fast, Kirven said. "It's all very personal." AH participants are invited to end the fast with a free, light dinner at 5 p.m. Thursday in the Newman Center Thurs day. Participants and other students also are invited to attend a discussion to night about African famine and pov erty. The discussion will be led by Kate Mclntyre, professor of African studies, at 6 p.m. in the Campus Y Lounge. infun. rime rib grilled I children's menu: 5 South Elliott Road brunch on Sunday from 1 1:30-2 I t t
