Allocated through the North Carolina Drug Commission (NCDC), the state money had provided more than half the financial base necessary to operate Switchboard's drug and social counseling services. Switchboard previously employed five full-time staff members, but now the number of full-time positions has been cut to three because of the decreased funding. Two former associate directors, Susan Furches and Ashley Moore, now share the single director's position. Most of the community-oriented drug education programs such as Operation Outreach, a program to facilitate better relations between the black and white communities of Chapel Hill, and the walk-in counseling center at Switchboard's house on 408 Rosemary St., have been canceled due to the cuts. "We have now reached the stage where the city of Chapel Hill contributes more to Switchboard than the state," Moore said. The town has increased its allocation from $13,000 to $15,000; Switchboard now receives about $10,000 from the United Fund. The state cut its allocation from about $30,000 to $10,000. An appeal to reinstate funds has been filed with the Grant Review Committee of the state drug commission. The decision on the appeal will be announced by September 15, Moore said. "If we get back enough money, we can re-open the drop-in center," he said. Since the center receives money from the U nited Fund, it cannot solicit contributions. The state drug commission also recommended wholesale cuts in many of the mental health and drug programs throughout the state, including the Orange-Person-Chatham Mental Health Center, M oorc said. He said he expects an increase in the volume of calls to Switchboard if the mental health center is forced to cut back on its services. Though it originally began as primarily "talking people down from bad acid trips," Switchboard, which had its fifth anniversary last M arch, presently handles approximately 1,200 diverse calls each month. The bulk of Switchboard's calls have been for referrals and long-term counseling, though drug counseling remains a specialty. "Many of the people who seek help are those who have been in some way out of touch with society," co-director Susan Furches said. "A good portion of the people who come in here just need a friend." "We're very low-key at first, and when a person is ready to look for a job or seek medical help, we refer him to the appropriate agency." . , Because of its budget cuts. Switchboard will be forced to use its volunteer-staffed telephone facilities to the utmost. Moore said. The University helps the agency draw volunteers by offering course credits in the psychology and sociology departments for students who volunteer for two semesters at Switchboard, he added. Language sections opened Six new sections of lower level Spanish courses have been opened for students who were closed out of the courses during registration, but the number of sections of French courses will remain the same. Jerry Foster, director of undergraduate Spanish coursessaid there will be three new sections of Spanish l-2x, two extra sections of Spanish 3 and one new section of Spanish 4. The Spanish l-2x sections have been scheduled for 12 noon, 1 and 2 p.m. daily, and will accommodate a total of 75 students. Over 200 students were closed out of the course during registration. The two sections of Spanish 3 will meet at 12 noon and 1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the new section of Spanish 4 will meet at 1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Each of these sections has 25 openings. Correction Due to a printing error. The Daily Tar Heel incorrectly quoted Paul Green as saying "If you gave a Communist address they would give you an honorary degree," in the Arts section of the Aug. 25 issue. The correct quote was, "If you gave a Commencement Address they would give you an honorary degree." The Daily Tar Heel apologizes to Mr. Green and to our readers for the error.

" suoodtafiw STORES ' u jd book DeoartmeDTS Hours: a a.m.-b p.m. Mon.-Fri. 11 a. m.-3 p.m. Saturdays Rush Periods: 8 a.m.-9 p.m. HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT BOOK: Textbooks are shelved by departments in numerical order e.g.. Chem 11, Chem 21, etc. The department maps will guide you to the area. Each textbook is identified by a label on the shelf giving the course number and title of the book. Be sure to check the book with the label to see if you have the right one. REFUND AND PURCHASE POLICY ON BOOKS better your chances of getting a used book, if available. If you wait too long all the books for the course may be sold out and you will have to wait for another shipment which takes 2 to 3 weeks. Keep your cash register receipt, you may need it later. PURCHASES: 1 100 refund observed by the the REFUNDS: To receive following policies are Bookstore. 1 . Book must be returned with cash register receipt, not later than 2 weeks after classes begin. 2. Book must be absolutely free of all markings, other than the Bookstore markings. Books with other markings will be refunded at used book retail price. 3. Defective books If a book is defective, replacement, without charge, will be made. BUYING TEXTBOOKS: Contrary to popular belief, the Bookstore does not set the price on new books. This is done by the publisher. The price on used books is usually no more than three-fourths of the new price. Buy your textbooks as soon as your class schedule is final in order to avoid the rush and One-half of retail price is given on cloth bound books in good condition and one-third on paperbacks that are in good condition if information of its intended reuse has been received. Exceptions: If a new edition has been announced, or large stock is on hand the purchase price is adjusted. 2. Books no longer used, and books used at other schools are purchased at top wholesale prices. 3. When selling your books back to the Student Stores you will need to show some kind of identification, such as student I.D. card, drivers license, etc. Reasons affecting buy back value on books are: 1 . The instructor has dropped book and it will not be used next semester. 2. Publisher has new edition and old edition has no value. 3. Book store is now overstocked and has more books than will be needed next semester. 4. Instructor has not indicated he will use book next semester. 5. Book is too ragged and too poor condition to be resold. A good way to help insure retrieval of your books in the future is to select a paqe in each book and mark it in a clearly recognizable manner. If your book is lost or stolen and you report this to the textbook department, we can be on the lookout for your book if it is brought to us to be sold.
