The Daily Tar HeelFriday, October 16, 19923 L UNC police cite four for illegal magazine sales University Police cited three men and a woman Thursday for trespassing and soliciting during school hours with out permission from the University, UNC officials said. Missy Lieb, 18, of 193 Woodwin Dr., Rock Hill, S.C., and Ian Forsyth, 26, working for London International Sales of 1501 South Missouri Ave., Clearwater, Fla., were cited at Craige Residence Hall, officers said. Michael Frank, 2 1 , and Ron Thomp son, 20, who said they worked for Sun Circulation Co. Inc. of 2031 Rhodes Ed. , Spring, Texas, were cited at the Pit, police said. Frank and Thompson first were re ported by students at Cobb Residence Hall, but University Police didn't catch up to them until they reached the Pit, police said. Maj. Bob Porreca said University police received complaints that solici tors were going door to door in campus dorms. Illegal solicitors strike around this time every year, and usually come from out of state, charge high prices and operate without a permit, he said. "If you buy a subscription from these people, you may not get your maga zines," Porreca said. Porreca urged students to report to police anyone who tries to sell maga zines in the dorm. "Do not buy from ' these people."

A (S V rn mm Chancellors to meet with BOG fee grouip By James Lewis Staff Writer The UNC Board of Governors Com mittee on Student Fees will hear con cerns and opinions from representa tives of five of the 16 universities in the UNC system today after its regular meeting. Chancellors from N.C. State Univer sity, UNC-Greensboro, N.C. Agricul tural & Technical State University and UNC-Charlotte as well as UNC-CH's Chancellor Paul Hardin have been in vited to address the committee concern ing student fees and the way different schools approach potential student fee increases. Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for student affairs at UNC-CH, said he also would attend the meeting. The group of administrators has been invited to tell the committee how student-fee increases are handled at their respective institutions, Boulton said. The N.C. General Assembly imposed a moratorium on increasing student fees last summer after controversy surround ing a proposed significant increase of student fees at UNC-C for a new basket ball arena.

That's because they don't.

"The purpose of the committee is to formulate, as requested by the legisla ture, policy regarding student fees," Boulton said. The new proposal will be to be pre sented to the General Assembly during its next session, which begins in May 1993. Nathan Simms, vice president of the UNC system, said that once the com mittee formed a plan to monitor student fees, UNC-system colleges and univer sities would be able to increase fees in accordance with the new plan. "The General Assembly will prob ably go back to business as usual once a plan to monitor the system's fees is in place," Simms said. Charlie Higgins, UNC-CH student body vice president, said the University and especially student-fee funded pro grams had definitely felt the effects of the moratorium. He cited several programs that the University has had to downscale or cut due to the moratorium. "A lot of really important projects that the University had wanted to fund have been postponed because of the moratorium," he said. WXYC disc jockey Rob Wilson works the board during his music that would be hard to come by at other stations or at record stores." Kevin Allen, a freshman from Ra leigh, said WXYC played an excellent mix of different kinds of music. "What makes them different is their lack of programming, which allows them to do things other radio stations can't do, like play jazz with the early '80s stuff with the rap." The station features several programs throughout the week. During "Inside Track," on Monday through Thursday nights, disc jockeys play a newly re leased album in its entirety. "Pacifica," a syndicated news show, airs Monday through Friday afternoons. Boster described "Pacifica" as news of "fascination, curiosities and oddi ties." He added, "I would say that said Thursday.

Higgins also cited APPLES, the stu dent learning and service program. The program was to receive a 90 cent increase from student fees to make organizational improvements, but the increase was canceled because of the moratorium. The fee increase had already been approved by a student referendum. Higgins said that in past years, once the students decided they wanted a fee increase and approved it by referen dum, the fee increase was approved at the state level with little discussion. "It has become a politically sensitive issue," he said. "Even with student referendums sup porting the fee increase, it doesn't al ways go through." After individual campuses pass stu dent referendums approving fee in creases, the BOG still must approve the hike.

"Orange County Special" also has a very large listening audience, Boster said. The show plays international and traditional music such as Appala chian folk music and older jazz. Call-in shows such as "Northern Hemisphere Live" and "Sports Rap" are in the line-up for Sundays. "Back yard Barbecue" plays local music, often from demonstration tapes.

OCTOBER 18 Volleyball us Pennsylvania 7:00 PM Carmichacl Auditorium Police to begim : issuing tickets to ; cars on sidewalk By Tiffany Ashhurst Staff Writer . Football fans who park on side walks during this weekend's game against the University of Virginia will have a not-so-welcome surprise on their windshields after the game. : A new ticketing policy, approved this summer by the Chapel Hill Town Council, officially goes into effect this weekend, fining fans $25 for parking on sidewalks. Capt. Gregg Jarvies of the Chapel Hill Police Department said Thursday that many residents had complained about cars being parked on their prop erty, "Safety and misuse of private prop- erty is the reason for the policy," be said. Because the policy is new, the po lice department has been placing warn ing fliers on cars during the past four games. The police department also has used media sources to relay the message and has notified the University ath letic depirtment, "We are not out to ticket every- Bicentennial plannin groups expand ef fort By Ivan Arlington Staff Writer With less than a year left until UNC celebrates its 200th birthday, Univer sity celebration and fund-raising groups are stepping up their planning efforts in preparation for University Day 1993. The University has designated two groups the Bicentennial Observance office and the Bicentennial Campaign to take on the challenges and reap the benefits accompanying the upcoming Bicentennial event. The Bicentennial Observance, dedi cated to preparing projects to commemo rate the University's birthday, has laid out plans for a giant celebration in Kenan TaxWatch opposes bond issuci By Kelly Ryan Assistant City Editor A local financial watchdog group said Wednesday it would not support the Chapel Hill-Carrboro $52 million school bond because it would allocate educational money to build new facili ties, rather than invest in teachers and a modern curriculum. TaxWatch opposed the bond, sug gesting the development of a magnet school to be located at Lincoln Center, which currently houses the school's administration offices. The school system's need for new facilities was based on inaccurate pre dictions of the student body's growth, according to TaxWatch member John Graham, who has researched alterna tives to the proposed new facilities. "All of these projections are based on false assumptions," he said. "My cau tion would be any figures more than two years ahead of time are suspicious." Graham said the figures were based on the assumption that the recent growth would continue at a steady rate. TaxWatch member Bill Oppold, who worked with Graham in researching the district, said he also thought the predic tions were inaccurate. "We disagree with the numbers they've produced," he said.

It goes up and down," he added. But school board member Ruth Royster said she thought local educa tion already was not emphasizing indi viduals enough because of the growing student body. "There is no way we can educate our students the way the community de mands with the current facilities," she said. A magnet school would not work in Chapel Hill because the school system needs to provide a full slate of academ ics for all of the students, Royster said. She added that the idea was not even feasible because the town was not a large metropolitan area with the re sources of several local schools to par ticipate in the program.' Graham said he thought it was more sound to spend money on teacher sala ries than on building new facilities. ; The school has a "warehouse theory of education" that more space to spread out students to provide more personal ized education was desirable, Graham said.
