Hunt refuses to halt land clearing
By PAM KELLEY
Staff Writer
Gov. Jim H unt has refused to stop the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from
beginning land-clearing operations for
the B. Everett Jordan Dam in Chatham
County even though a previously
undisclosed U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency report says the
project could pose an environmental
threat to surrounding areas.
Chapel Hill Mayor Jim Wallace, vice
chairperson of the N . C . Environmental
Management Commission, said the
planned Jordan Lake would back up to
Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill and
flood New Hope Creek with polluted
water for up to six months of the year.
"This project is one of the leftovers
from the pre-environmental awareness
time," Wallace said. "It was authorized
by Congress in 1963. If it came up in
Arrest reports kept on file
regardless of case outcome
Chapel Hill police can hurt students'
chances of securing post-graduation
employment under provisions of the city
ordinances, according to members of
the N.C. Civil Liberties Union.
Panelists from the group discussed
this and other student problems at a
forum on students' rights Tuesday
night.
One panel member said local police
keep arrest reports on file regardless of
whether the case ever went to trial or the
outcome of the proceedings.
Town laws say these incomplete
records are available for public
inspection.
'Earth Ball, "Prui' games
provide aggression release
By NELL LEE
Staff Writer
Tired of basketball and football? Can't get
excited about baseball?
Then how about a vigorous round of
People Pass, Skin the Snake, Ooh-ah or
Frisbee Golf?
Students and locals alike will have the
opportunity to participate in these and other
"New Games" at a special tournament and
festival to be held from noon to 5 p.m.
Saturday, April 15 on Carmichael Field.
The "New Games" concept that has hit
Chapel Hill lately is the brainstorm of
Stewart Brand, editor of The Whole Earth
Catalogue. Emphasis is not on winning and
losing, Chapel Hillians are discovering, but
getting people in a community together to
have fun. The New Games Foundation
based in San Francisco, got underway in
1974 and is picking up momentum all over
the country.
Rick Fondren of the Chapel Hill Parks
and Recreation Department, one of the
sponsors of the April festival, said the event
will be a first in the state.
"We planned this in conjunction with the
Apple Chill Festival (which is the following
day)," Fondren said. "It all started last fall
when the New Games Foundation put on a
training work shop for referees for the
games. Students Amy Schotland, Tom
Adorney and 1 thought it would be a good
thing for Chapel Hill so we contacted the
Chapel Hill Recreation coordinator to slari

Congress today, it wouldn't last an
hour."
Hunt press aide Gary Pearce said the
governor declined to intervene in the
Corps of Engineers project because no
new information has surfaced to
indicate detrimental effects of closing
the dam.
The N.C. Conservation Council, a
citizens' lobby group, filed suit in federal
court to stop the Jordan Dam project.
The cast is currently under review by the
U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. ,
"It's gone to court, and we're going to
stay out of it," Pearce said. "The state
has never really gotten involved in it.
Maybe it would have made a difference
if we had gotten in on it, but it's too late
now." ,
If the gates of the dam are closed and
the area is flooded, increased vegetable
nutrients would allow algae to flourish
CLU member Steve Ross proposed
an ordinance making it impossible for
police to make arrest reports public.
Dorothy Bernholz, attorney for
Student Legal Service, warned students
not to assume basic rights will be
accorded them in landlord-tenant
agreements.
"If the landlord doesn't like the way
you look, he can practically tell you to
go elsewhere," Bernholz said.
Union member Geof Gledhill said
CLU supports the students against the
Orange Committee's purge of county
voter registration books.

planning the tournament. We want it to be
an annual event."
Students walking across campus at
opportune times already may have done
double-takes at a six-foot light-weight ball
being tapped around. This is Earth Ball, one
of the most popular games, Fondren said.
And then there's Prui. Everyone closes
their eyes and begins groping around. When
one player bumps into another one, he asks
"Prui?" If the other player comes in contact
with a silent player, then he knows he has
found Prui. He opens his eyes and joins
hands with Prui, and waits for the chain to
grow. Those who are late in discovering Prui
must feel their way to the end of the chain. A
more intense "contact" sport would be hard
to find.
Some of the games, such as tug of war and
lap-sit are based on old favorites, but have
new twists.
How have Chapel Hillians reacted to New
Games?
"We've had ten play sessions so far
involving adults, college students and
elementary students, and the games have
gone over well," Fondren said. "Some
people are a little hesitant at first, but once
they get involved they're ready to do
anything."
He said the Games' motto was "play hard,
play fair and don't hurt anyone."
"It's a means for people to play and
channel their aggressiveness in a healthy,
harmless wav."

As the algae die, the lake water would
oxidize to reduce the amount ol oxygen
in the lake and kill the fish. Wallace said.
Corps of Engineers public affairs
officer David Hewitt said the mercury
levels in the water are no higher than in
other lakes and rivers in the state.
More than 70 percent of the lakes in
North Carolina areeutrophic, including
Kerr Reservoir State Recreation Area,
Hewitt said.
The Corps of Engineers spent more
than $200,000 for additional studies of
the proposed lake and found its water
quality acceptable, Hewitt said.
The only remaining preparation for
closing the dam gates are to clear the
trees in the area. Hewitt said the Army
Corps of Engineers plans to move in the
bulldozers in a few weeks.

Board debates parking

Staff Writer
UNC's Traffic and Parking Advisory
Board began discussion Tuesday on a
recommendation for a parking deck on
Ridge Road between the Institute of
Government and the Law School.
The board also reviewed a traffic and
parking ordinance which will change zoning
and fees in several University lots.
The parking deck proposal resulted from a
survey by construction consultant firm
Kimley-Horn and Associates. Inc. in
. Raleigh.
The board, which advises John L. Temple,
vice chancellor of Business and Finance, will
discuss the proposed deck and alternatives,
such as campus fringe lots, at a meeting in
approximately three weeks.
Law School Dean Robert G. Byrd wrote a
letter to the Office of Business and Finance

He said in the letter that athletic facilities
already disrupt the Law School, and a
parking deck would create more activity in
the area. He also said the deck would create
traffic problems on Ridge Road.
Henry W. l ewis, director of the Institute
of Government, wrote a letter in which he
said a deck would cut off expansion of the
institute.
In other action, the board reviewed an
ordinance establishing parking policy
effective July 1. The ordinance will be
submitted for approval by the UNC Board of
Trustees on April 14.
The ordinance does not change the cost of
parking permits for next year. They will
remain $72 for automobiles for a full year
and $12 for motorcycles. Permits for the
academic year (Aug. 15 to May 15) will
remain $54 for automobiles and $9 for
SLS understaffed
Second lawyer needed
The Student legal Services Board
unanimously endorsed a budget Friday
which, if approved, by the Campus
Governing Council, will provide for an
additional attorney for the SI S office.
The decision to hire a second attorney
resulted from a significant increase in the
SLS workload in the past few months. In
January, the office experienced a 70 percent
increase in the number of students using the
service, followed by a 58 percent increase in
February.
Dorothy Bernholz, the present SLS
attorney, said she is overburdened with
appointments and meetings. "My
appointment calendar looks like it's bleeding
to death," Bernholz said. "Every night this
week I have a meetingwith a student group.
"The number of students seeking the aid of
c this office is steadily increasing across the
I board. You shouldn't tell students you're
offering a serviee and not be able to provide
- the service. If things continue the way they
are now, we'll have to cut back in some

1 Bernholz said that in comparison with
other universities wilh student legal services,
S the UNC program is greatly understaffed.
Most schools of a comparable size have at
least two attorneys, she said.
Bernholz said she considers an immediate

" I his should never have happened at

have realized the situation long before."
Seventeen team members met
inlormally Monday afternoon and most
of them told the Daily Tar Heel they
were dissatisfied with the coaching
performance this season. Several ol
them stated they felt that the Tar Heels
have the potential to become national
champions, but their talents were being
inadequately utilized by Doty.
The f ar Heels finished seventh in the
nation last spring with a record of 8-4
and a national playoff appearance.
The team suffered no significant loss

Advisory Board member Paul Arne said
the committee may increase parking permit
fees in 1979-80 to $63 for the academic year
and $S4 for a full year. The increase, the first
since 1974, would cover risiiiR maintenance
costs, Arne said.
I he ordinance will increase parking fees in
the medical complex parking deck and a
parking lot on Manning Drive. The fee will
be 35 cents for each of the first four hours
and 20 cents for each additional hour. The
maximum charge will be $2 per day.
Fees were previously 25 cents for each of
the first four hours and 10 cents for each
additional hour. T he maximum charge was
$1.65 per day.
This increase will add $187,000 next year
to the general traffic and parking funds
which are used to cover all UNC traffic
expenses.
"If the police are pounding on your door,
you need help then," Bernholz said. "The
students deserve prompt aid and an
accessible lawyer. At the moment, this is
difficult with my time limitations."
