Parhaps he is just Ihe o by Jennifer Miller Staff Writer Stray and deserted animals have become one of the largest urban problems in the United States. Having been domesticated and taught to depend on humans for food and shelter, abondoned pets fall victim to starvation, disease and accident. In reaction to these conditions, they often become community nuisances and hazards. The Animal Protection Society (APS) of Chapel Hill is attempting to assume responsibility for many of the area's needy animals. Chapel Hill's problem is especially acute due to the desertion of pets by transient students and others. Because they have rarely : been ; spayed or neutered, deserted animals rapidly increase in number once left on the street. APS has about 250 members, of whom about 40 are considered active. Their work is tmzmn miaoued dlesim Roslyn M. Hartmann, an English graduate student, has been named an assistant dean in the UNC Department of Student Life. She will join the staff June 15.

APS functions are cat and dog adoption, lost and found services, spaying and neutering arrangements, emergency help for injured, animals and investigation of cruelty cases. Also, efforts are being made toward community education and- initiation of legislation to insure humane treatment of animals. Bill Rumpp, chairman of the Welfare Committee which is now the most active division of APS, said, "We desperately need to have an office and a shelter, both to increase our efficiency and service to the community and to the animals."

There are about 25 active foster homes at this time, and the general opinion is that this is not the most desirable system. A creature is held to allow time to seek its owner or to find it a new home. But foster home people often become attached to their guests and may not wish to give up for extermination animals that are not adopted after a reasonable period of time. Rumpp feels this sentiment is understandable but not reasonable, for as the foster homes fill up with unadopted animals, new arrivals have no place and are denied the opportunity of adoption. "The percentage of animals adopted from APS is high, at least 90 per cent," Rumpp says. "There are advantages in adopting APS animals. They are healthy, having received distemper shots and, if needed, some veterinary care. APS charges an adoption fee of $7 and, in an attempt to slow future population, the Society insists that all female cats and dogs . be spayed. "I'd like to see the Society extend actions beyond the immediate things," says APS president John Macfie. "We need to work on projects such as abolishing the steel trap." One of the stated goals of APS is prevention of cruelty to animals and, as their "Invitation to Join the Animal Protection Society" brochure says: "We made them what they are domesticated for our use and pleasure or casualties of our indifference.

In assuming the position Miss Diefendorf cited as her two primary objectives, "to determine what would best serve the student needs through study of the present student health service as compared to an ideal health service model," and "to devise a mechanism for effective on-going student participation in evaluating the uses and needs of the student health service." Rachel Long, a planner with the UNC Department of Operations and Engineering, said in an interview that "we intend to get a program statement to the architect sometime this summer." Long has been working in conjunction with Diefendorf for several weeks. The position of summer intern was created by a bill passed by the Campus Governing Council. The bill, introduced by Williams at the April 1 6 meeting, was an effort to establish student participation in the health service planning. Diefendorf. a 24-year-old Long Island, N.Y., native, will be on a forty-hour week to (as stated in the bill) "work with UNC in designing the plans for the building to house the new student infirmary.""She has been hired for 1 2 weeks. A graduate in psychology from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, Diefendorf emphasizes she is not an architect. "I have spent my first week studying past student evaluations, the minutes of the administrative board of the Student Health Service meetings, and, in. particular, a study done in March I97l by the heads of three other university health programs." The three-man team consisted of the health directors from Yale, Georgia and San Fernando Valley State. Although her work did not officially begin until May 1 5, Diefendorf attended meetings with Long with the heads of various O'Neal's remains Residence Hall Association President Mike O'Neal may be forced to resign his position in the fall due to an inability to find University housing. Granville Towers administrators indicated Thursday that there has been no change in O'NeaTs position on their waiting list. He is number 258. The RHA constitution . stipulates that executive officers must reside in undergraduate dorms. O'Neal, a journalism graduate student, previously lived in Avery undergraduate dorm through special permission from the Housing Department. Dr. James Condie, director of Housing, discontinued the permission in April because of tight space requirements for undergraduates next year. Granville administrators said O'Neal is in the lowest category of preference, after previous residents and incoming freshmen. However, one administrator noted that in a few weeks, Mike's poor number may be meaningless as students find housing elsewhere and withdraw their applications.

"My work is a temporary position, but I don't want it to have temporary effects," Diefendorf said. She feels the meetings will be helpful in t specifying particular needs. "The two main complaints about the present infirmary center around waiting time and waiting conditions," she said, "but I expect my work to encompass more than looking for answers to those problems." Diefendorf said she was not a complaint board, but she would welcome recommendations from groups or individuals. In working for the student government this summer, Diefendorf is also fulfilling a summer work requirement for the Department of City and Regional Planning. Her graduation plans will be in keeping with her current studies, in particular, the areas of social policy and manpower.. She has completed one year of a two year program.

The Feminist Newsletter In its second year ol biweekly ousing in doubt There is a possibility that O'Neal will be aided in his effort to obtain university housing by the Housing Department. Dr. Condie's secretary said there had been special cases in the past in which students were assisted in receiving housing. If O'Neal is unable to obtain University housing, his only alternatives will be to resign or change the RHA constitution to permit him to live off-campus. RHA sources have said a change in the constitution is unlikely. h Howdy Pardnersl! o (PACXED " : : 1ICLIP OUT I WESTERN BIG WITH COUPON Good Thru June (I) SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS Daniel Boone Amphitheatre Hillsborough, N.C. 1-85 & Old 86 presents LJ J LJ th L.
