In another arrangement, the single track system, vacations would be shorter and more frequent, but would be taken at the same time. The single-track possibility would increase retention, but not affect over crowding. The school year would re main at 1 80 days for students and teach ers, Pedersen said. One of the major attractions of either plan is the elimination of regression during the summer, he said. "The students who can least afford it tend to regress the most (during sum mer break)," Pedersen said, adding that disabled students and under-achievers would be among those benefiting from year-round school.

Traditional sum mer school could be spread throughout the year," ' on an as-needed basis, he said. Where multi-track programs have been implemented, teachers have ben efited from higher salaries due to a longer school year. Teachers have been able to substitute for other teachers dur ing their vacations or seek other em ployment, he said. Multi-tracking puts greater demands on the building resources but is prob ably less expensive than building and operating a new school, Pedersen said. One of the drawbacks of the multi tracking system is that teachers would lack permanent classrooms. After vaca tions, teachers would return to new class rooms, he said. Bud Stuart, a math teacher at Chapel Hill High School, said year-round schools would be a significant inconve nience. Stuart said there was a difference of opinion among teachers about year round school, although "we've never taken a vote." , Madeline Mitchell, Chapel Hill PTA DATE COMPANY PLACE TIME 10-13-92 ANDERSON CONSULTING NA P 10-13 92 COUUNS&A1KMAN ' NC P 10-14-92 10-14-92 BASF CORPORATION NC P 10-1492 COMPMJED NA P 10-14-92 GENERAL FOODS - P 10-15-92 10-14-92 GLAXO, INC NC P 10-14-92 PPG INDUSTRIES MD P 10-15-92 10-15-92 AMERICAN CYANAMID NE P 10-15-92 GENERAL ELECTRIC NA VP 10-15-92 GENERAL ELECTRIC CO, NA P 10-15-92 NORTHWESTERN NC O MUTUAL LIFE .,... 10-15-92 RADIAN CORPORATION .

Another problem is that parents who dislike year-round school might send their children to private schools. "I'm sure that'll happen," Mitchell said. "Any time you change what's tra ditional, people don't always like it." Year-round school also would re quire some personnel, such as princi pals, counselors and reading teachers, to work all year. But Mitchell said the plan might be implemented on a voluntary basis in one of the following ways: Some schools could be year-round, while others could have the traditional summer break; Individual schools could be bro ken down into year-round and the regu lar schedule; or One "magnet school" could be year-round, and students could be trans ported across the district The committee on year-round schools will meet and present its recommenda tions in February at the school system's annual planning conference, Pedersen said. A beer lover s dream: Festival to serve ales from around the world By LeAnn Spradling StaffWrllef Imagine a huge room filled with beer, all yours for the asking. Music throbs in the background, as yet another exotic draft cools your throat. Can this be real? Yes. It's a dream come true for beer lovers. The World of Beer festival at the Raleigh Civic and Convention Center Friday will provide an oppor tunity for participants to sample more than 60 different styles of beers from countries around the world.

Daniel Bradford, director of the beer-tasting fund-raiser, said the beer festival also would acquaint people with cultural diversity. 'The diversity of the beers reflects the diversity of cultures,' he said. Tickets for the festival may be pur chased in advance for $12.50 at Ticketmaster and Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. Tickets will be $1 5 at the door. Only those older than 21 will be admitted to the festival.

"People can taste a small amount to see if they like the brand, "Since the mid-1970s, there has been a renaissance in beer apprecia tion," he said. The number of brewer ies in the United States grew from 41 to about 300 between 198 1 and 1992, Bradford said. Many of the new breweries have brought diverse styles to the market Consumer interest in the variety of beer paral lets consumer interest in the varieties of other foods such as bread, wine and ice cream, Bradford said. "We're moving back toward the 18th century, when there were 3,000 breweries in the United States." Because of the small samples of beer and the snacks that will be avail able at the festival, there is little risk of intoxication, Bradford said. The food will reduce the absorption of alcohol, and waiting in line for samples will cut down on the amount of beer that will be consumed. Bradford described the atmosphere of beer tasting as "fun and convivial. It's not a keg party or a stilted wine tasting," he said. Although the majority of beer-festival participant1! are men, women are interested in beer, too. About 45 per centofparticipantsare usually women, Bradford said. , The World of Beer is being spon sored by the city of Raleigh, WRAL TV, WRAL-FM, the News and Ob server, the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County, and The Crass Roots Arts Council.
