With the election of Jim Phillips to the
presidency Wednesday, all that remains of the
student body elections are a few minor disputes
and a lot of posters.
The disputes should be cleared up within a week
and the candidates must take the posters down by
Sunday or be fined SI for each one remaining.
Representatives from three Campus Governing
Council districts are still undecided. Preston Fogle
and Weldon Jordan will meet in a second runoff
election for District 4 after spring break, as will
Doug Davis and Brad Lamb in District 19.
Elections Board chairperson Bob Saunders said
he still is trying to contact the three candidates
Vann Donaldson, Bruce Mann and Coin Page
in District 6. A re-election will be held for this
district after spring break, Saunders said. The date
has not been determined.
The losing candidates now will go through a
period of demobilization, and Phillips must
undergo a period of transition with current
President Bill Moss until his inauguration in late
March.
Phillips said Wednesday night that he would
begin work in Suite C right away.
"We're going to go out and get people, recruit
people to work in Student Government," Phillips
said Wednesday. "We're going to show that
Student Government is more than just an end in
itself.
"This is a new Student Government. They are
not all the same," Phillips said.
Phillips praised Gordon Cureton, his
opponent, after his runoff victory.
"I just want to say that I have the utmost respect
for Gordon and his campaign staff. He impressed
me very much," Phillips said. '
"He ran a very clean campaign, even in the
midst of some rumors and things like that that
appeared in the last couple of days of the election.
"All in all, Gordon did a super job."
Cureton himself said he was disappointed but
not upset with his loss.
"A lot of people are going to pissed, and it
doesn't necessarily have to be me," Cureton said
Wednesday night after the votes were counted.
"I always knew we were fighting an uphill battle
from the very beginning."
; Cureton said he would try to maintain some sort
of community involvement in the coming year.
"It doesn't have to . be with Student
Government, but involvement with something in
the community to help make the community
better," he said.
Approximately 4,500 students voted in the
runoff election, a figure that was remarkably high
according to Elections Board chairperson Bob
Saunders, who credited the high turnout to the
polling place at Carmichael Auditorium.
The Carmichael box, counted last, gave Phillips
the votes he needed to defeat Cureton in the
runoff. Cureton led Phillips by 79 votes until the
Carmichael box was tallied.
Saunders said the Carmichael box would not
have seemed so important if it had been counted
first rather than last.
"With an election this close, it's hard to point
out the one certain factor that determined the race
whether it was the Carmichael box, the weather
or the fact that Duke tickets were being
distributed," he said.
Of the original field of seven presidential
candidates, Phillips and Cureton were the top two
' vote-getters and were thus entitled to compete in
the runoff election Feb. 22.
Reactions to the election results among the
losing candidates ranged from disappointment to
resignation to expressions of near-relief.
"I'm just glad the damn thing's over," a
campaign worker said after the first election.
Another losing candidate was more attuned to
the cycles of political history.
"1 feel just like Edmund Muskie in 1972."
Staff of seven listens to problems
Mental health clinic offers advice

"Can you tell me how to get to the Mental
Health Center?"
The nurse at the main desk of the Student
Health Service stops what she is doing to
study me curiously before replying, "Up
those stairs, Room 206."
"I wonder what kind of nut she is?" one
woman in the waiting room wonders aloud
to her companion.
The stares and the comments are
embarrassing. They are also a good example
of the widespread social stigma still attached
to mental illness which handicaps the Mental
Health Center in its attempts to help
students with their concerns.
"The stigma of mental health, I think
that's less now," says Dr. Myron B. Liptzin,
director of the Mental Health Center. "But
many people are feeling kind of uptight,
feeling something is wrong with them if they
seek help.
"It is kind of scary, It implies mental
illness, as such, which is not what we deal
with. It implies a loss of control, of not being
yourself a Jekyll and Hyde, Charlie
Manson type of thing."
Students avoid the center not only because
of what others may think or because they
don't want to admit, anything is wrong but
because they fear what they may learn about
themselves, I.iptin says.

There's more to Keller's j ob
than free home-game tickets
D.rUID DriDClll
By CHIP PEARSALL
Staff Writer
Imagine having two free tickets to every Tar
Heel basketball game in Carmichael Auditorium.
Those hardy souls who camp out on Blui
Heaven'jfrbnt porch drool at the thought ' no
waiting, no cold feet, no long lines. Heavenly.
Jean Keller, ticket manager for the Carolina
Athletic Association, is one of a few University
staff and dignitaries who have such tickets.
Know how many home games she's seen in her
28 years as a ticket-office employee?
"One," she said Tuesday as her colleagues
prepared for the last home-game ticket
distribution of the season. "It was the Duke game
last year.
"I get two tickets good ones for every
home game, but somebody has to keep the office
open during the games."
If Keller can't relax and watch a game without
worrying about what's happening back in the
office, she doesn't want to go. So, last year, the
girls in the office volunteered to mind the store
while she watched the Heels trounce the Blue
Devils, 84-7 1.
The tickets come with the job, which can be a
hot seat at a sports-crazy institution like UNC.
Keller is responsible for overseeing ticket
distribution for all athletic events sponsored by
the University.
She handles the year-round task from a small,
bright office in Carmichael Auditorium. A vase of
white carnations stands at the edge of the desk,
where Keller props her elbows and fiddles with a
rubber baud. A needlepoint ram's head hangs on
the wall beside her, and sports memorabilia
calendars, buttons and pictures decorate her
bulletin board.
With the streaks of gray in her dark hair, the
that something is really wrong with them,
thet they'll come in here, and we'll open some
sort of Pandora's box when, in fact, they can
be reassured that other people have exactly
these same sorts of problems. Then they can
begin to deal with them in a constructive way
and begin to make changes.
"I don't know how many people out there
aren't coming in that are really hurting that
we might be able to help, and that bothers
me."
National surveys show that on the
average, 10 to 12 percent of all college or
university students seek aid with some
problem related to mental health.
"The average here at UNC is about 8
percent and going up each year Liptzin
says. "The number of visits per person is also
going up, which we are pleased about. The
increase in patients is partially due to the fact
that the center is able to handle more
patients as our staff and facility expand."
The center has seven staff members: two
psychiatrists, three psychologists and two
clinical social workers. Counseling also is
provided by a number of advanced trainees,
residents and graduate students, Liptzin
says.
Individual counseling is available at the
center as well as group therapy, couples
counseling and problem pregnancy
counseling.
Long-term counseling is not available at
the center, l.iptin says, and counselors
tiny Tar Heel lapel pin and the occasional smile.
Keller doesn't look like someone who could
placate an angry alumnus or a frustrated student.
She's done it, though, for the past eight years as
ticket manager.
-. "I get a lot out of my job, but it can be hectic,
frustrating and can make you have blood pressure
problems," she said with one of those smiles.
"We get hassles when we can't satisfy people.
Some people feel like tickets are in a different
situation from anything else.
"But let me say right now that most of our
people are great. Our students are so much better
than others I've observed, and I mean that."
She runs a tight ship lo make the complicated
task of distributing tickets to thousands of alumni,
hundreds of students and others easier.
Most problems center, predictably, around
basketball. Carmichael is too small to handle the
flood of ticket requests. Games in Charlotte and
Greensboro are sold out almost immediately after
mail order brochures are mailed. The ACC
Tournament ticket crunch is legendary."
Keller is caught in the middle. "We send a form
letter to everyone who requested tickets and didn't
get them. We respond to every complaint
personally."
For tournaments, where available tickets are
limited severely, priority lists determine tine lucky
few. For the ACC tournament, the list is based on
an individual's total contributions to the
Educational Foundation through the years.
"You had to have given $6,500 or over just to get
an order blank this year," she said. The top donors
have contributed about $125,000 each.
For students, the random selection method
cursed by many is "the best system that we have
come up with."
"It takes longer for the office to get the tickets
ready but less time to distribute them, she said.
generally maintain an eight-visit limit per
patient.
"There are other resources in the
community open to the students who need
longer-term counseling," Liptzin says. "But
we try to provide whatever is necessary.
"Many problems are taken care of in two
or three visits. Sixty-five percent are
completed in four visits or less."
In "rare cases of extreme emergency,"
Liptzin says on-the-spot, walk-in counseling
is available at the center. "We would not
interrupt an appointment, but if a student
feels that he must see someone right away,
the secretary may tell him something like
'Dr. Liptzin is in an appointment right now,
but he can talk with you as soon as that's
finished,' and ask them to wait.
"We leave it up to the student whether or
not, when a secretary offers him an
appointment, he can wait until that time. If
he says he really can't wait that long, then the
secretary will tell him about the afternoon
walk-in clinic."
Afternoon walk-in sessions are available
weekdays from 3 p.m. until all students
seeking help have had a chance to talk with a
staff member, Liptzin says.
"Also, if someone wants to call and just
talk about something on the phone, we're
willing to do that, too."
Records are strictly confidential under all
circumstances, L.iptin says. "Nobody's
going to know you've been here unless you

N.C; State play Carolina Thursday night as
Phil Ford was in street clothes. ,
After all, what fun would it be to upset the
eighth-ranked Tar Heels without their All
America guard? But the fans got nearly more
than than they had bargained for when
Carolina's . make-shift lineup scared the
Wolfpack before folding and allowing the
Pack to win 72-67.
Carolina's loss forces it into a showdown
battle with Duke Saturday for the regular
season ACC championship. Both teams
have 8-3 records going into the final
conference game.
Ford was added to a growing list of Tar
Heel players out with injuries. Mike
O'Koren and Rich Yonaker already were
sidelined with injuries. A severely sprained
left wrist which Ford suffered against
Virginia last Saturday kept him from
practice this week, but doctors said he could
play against State if he didn't fall.
"I don't remember a game when he didn't
fall," UNC coach Dean Smith said.
Carolina's make-shift lineup of Tom
Zaliagiris, Jeff Wolf, Al Wood, Dudley
Bradley and Dave Colescott in for Ford

championship. The Tar Heels moved out to

Basketball season, is almost over for the ticket
office now; football preparations dominate
activity. For Keller, the season's end is bittersweet.
"There's the material side of it all that's left
for us to do is tie up loose ends.
"But there's the emotional involvement, too.
We know the players, and we realize how much
we'll miss them. You wonder. 'How could another
season be as great as this one?' "
"And we have a close personal and working
relationship with the staff and with coach Smith,
especially. But, we'll be starting another season,
too."
With another successful basketball season

tickets for football already sold, Jean Keller had a

enough.
"Records are kept completely separate
from other health records. The only time
information can be released is with the
written permission of the student. Most
often when information is given out, it is the
case that the student leaves here and gets into
therapy somewhere else, and it would help
the counselor to know his past history."
Most students are self-referred to the
center, Liptzin says, and it is difficult to
pinpoint one concern as prevalent among
students who seek therapy.
"Problems are usually so interrelated that
it is hard to pinpoint one area which brings
most students into the center. Generally,
however, depression or anxiety having to do
with the gereral areas of relationships or
academics are the biggest problems."
Since the center was established in its'
present form in 1963, the staff has tried to
help students see how they fit into their
world and to develop preventive mental
health programs.
"We feel we have obligations above and
beyond seeing students with problems,"
Liptzin says. "We are largely concerned
about preventive health maintenance and
helping a student to avoid needless stress,
helping the University become aware of
areas where a student is subjected to needless
stress.

Tour covers 16 homes
Solar heat now a reality
By CAROL HANNER
Staff Writer
Solar heating is no longer just an idea; it's a
reality.
" And 16 homes inthe Chapel Hill area will attest
to that fact this weekend when they will be open
for a tour sponsored by the North Carolina Land
Trustees of America Inc. (NCLTA).
The purpose of the tour is to show that solar
heating is both economically and technically
feasible as an alternative to other methods of
heating.
"After all, sunlight is free, there are no
permanent production costs involved such as with
electric or f uel-oil plants, and solar heat is best for
the environment," says Kenneth D. Williamson,
executive director of the non-profit organization.
There are two types of solar heating systems,
active and passive.
Passive systems rely on the design of the house
to soak up the most heat from the sun and to allow
as little heat as possible to escape.
These houses usually have the most windows on
the south side. During the winter, the sun rides low
in the south, shining in the southern windows and
heating the house by convection of the air inside.
At night, insulating shutters are put up to
prevent heat from escaping.
The north side of the house has few or no
windows because there get little sunlight and only
leak heat.
Active systems use air collector or water
collector systems, which are designed to capture
the sun's head, preserve it in storage facilities and
use fans to move the heat where it is needed.
Greenhouses and indoor swimming pools also
are used as solar heating systems. The large
surface area of these structures allows so much
sunlight to enter that they maintain 80-degree
"Some students are afraid of finding
out that something is really wrong
with them... in fact, they can be
reassured that other people have
exactly these same sorts of problems.
Then they can begin to deal with them
in a constructive way "

"We played well enough to win, and it just
slipped out of our hands," Zaliagiris said.

temperatures even in winter. The warm air then is
transferred by fans or ducts into the house.
The tour houses include both active and passive
systems. The houses' designs vary from
conventional, such as a 25-year-old frame house
equfpped .with- a solar water heater, to more
unusual, such as a house with an all-glass south
' side and a north side notched into a hill.
Williamson stresses that the cost is within reach
of the average homebuilder.
"The active systems are usually more expensive
than the passive systems, although the extent of
the cost depends on how elaborate you want the
system to be," he says.
Costs of passive systems are more difficult to
estimate because they are based on design, not
equipment.
"We estimate that the owner saves enough on
fuel bills to pay for the solar heating system in
three to 10 years. But many take even less time to
repay.
"The solar wall designed into one house only
cost about $300. That amount will be saved in less
than a year."
Architect Giles Blunden works with
Designworks in Carrboro, which constructs solar
heated homes.
He says a domestic solar water heater usually
costs about $1,200 to $1,500. Air collectors for
heating a home can cost from $400 to $ 1 ,500. Air
collectors for heating home can cost from $400
to $15,000 depending on the design of the house
and the type of control the owner wants.
"The public just needs a little time to get used to
the look of solar homes and to adjust to the idea,"
Blunden says.
"I'd say solar homes will become ordinary
within 10 years at the most, although maybe I have
