E COS sponsors sundae Sunday,
Sun Day to highlight Solar Week
By JOHN HOKE
Staff Writer
ECOS begins its support Sunday of
National Solar Week with an attempt to
create the world's largest ice cream sundae.
Proceeds from the affair will go towards the
construction of solar greenhouses in the
Chapel Hill area.
ECOS is a student organization involved
with local environmental concerns. David
Dye and Mike MacMillan, the new co
presidents of ECOS, said the ice cream feat
will receive national television news
coverage and probably front-page mention
in the Wall Street Journal Monday.
The attempt for the ice cream sundae

Housing placement guidelines sought
By GEORGE SHADROUI
Staff Writer
A two-page recommendation has been
submitted to the Department of University
Housing complaining a lack of
communication exists between students and
University Housing and requesting changes
in present housing policy.
The recommendation asks University
Housing to compose guidelii.es for dealing
with student placement in housing from
individual residence hall waiting lists.
Betsy Koerber, 1977-78 governor of
Morehead Residence Confederation and
one of the students submitting the
recommendation, said students are not
aware of the policy concerning waiting lists.
Confusion about housing policy occurred
after the preliminary lottery, which allows a
limited number of students to move into a
dorm other than the one they are living in at

Hall. A sundae planning session will be held
from 6-8 tonight in Room 202 Carolina
Union. Volunteers are needed to help
building sundae.
MacMillan said, "We're trying for two
world records. The first is for the the longest
ice cream sundae, which will be
approximately 600 feet. The second will be
for the fastest time constructing it, which we
hope will be about 45 minutes."
Dye, a sophomore, added, "This will
involve bringing 110 gallons of Bob's ice
cream (Bob's is a Chapel Hill ice cream
parlor) from Chase Cafeteria to the union,
getting that laid out and getting nuts,
whipped cream, strawberries and cherries on
top of that."
the time. Names of those not transferred are
returned to their dorms for the second round
of drawings.
It was after the second drawing that
housing discovered several cards had been
misplaced. Students from Aycock and Carr
were omitted from the drawings for their
dorms. Because these students did not have
the opportunity to be drawn, they
automatically were placed in the dorm to
compensate for the error, reducing the quota
of freshmen in those dorms.
To raise the freshman quota to its original
level, spaces opened by cancellations were
assigned to freshmen, displacing students on
the waiting lists. Koerber said that although
she has submitted a recommendation asking
housing to clarify this policy, she has not
received the written roponse she was
promised.

Theater groups may be plagued by copyright laws
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
New copyright laws effective January I. 1978 can spell
trouble for various theater groups and classes on campus. A
number of performing groups will have to interpret the new
laws before they perform in the fall. Among these are the
Reader's Theatre, Playmaker's Repertory Company and
Black Student Movement Onyx 1 heater.
Martha Hardy, faculty adviser of Reader's Theatre, said.
"It'll take a Philadelphia lawyer to translate the new
(copyiight) laws." Hardy said she had not interpreted the
new laws but she would have to do so this summer.
In the past. Reader's Theatre has avoided copyright
problems by not charging admission, by only doing portions
of works and by advertising only on campus. Hardy said,
Reader's Theatre uses short stories, poetry and novels for its
performances: The group rarely uses plays.

Concerning the long-term purpose of the
ice-cream sundae project, MacMillan said,
"We're trying to get about 1 ,000 people there
and we'll take the money and build a solar
greenhouse. The first one will probably be in
the Botanical Gardens.
"We hope to get enough funds to build one
greenhouse a year in Chapel Hill for an
elderly or needy family to provide heat for
their house and food for their consumption,"
MacMillan said of future ECOS plans. We'll
coordinate this project with the Human
Resources Commission in Chapel Hill."
Solar Week is designed to inform the
nation of the potential of snlar power to
relieve the energy crisis. The week will be

Peggy Gibbs, assistant to the director for
housing contracts, said there is no written
policy on the alternate (waiting list) system
because it initially was started as a favor to
students.
"If we continue this practice, then there
will have to be a written policy on it. but I
don't think the alternate system is such a
good idea," Gibbs said. "It seemed such a
simple matter, but if it will help. I'd be
delighted to write it up."

University officials I luirsd.is refilled
charges that UNC Student Health Service is
violating federal drug laws in its dispensing
of Valium to the I'M' Sports Medicine
Department.
The Fayetteville Times said in a
copyrighted story Wednesday that xxas
reprinted in the Daily Tar eethat although
the health service has records saying hoxx
many Valium tablets it has dispensed to the
athletic department, it has no records of the
individual teams or athletes that receive the
tablets. ,
Henry A. Nocclla. a staff assistant for the
compliance section of the Federal Drug
Enforcement Agency in Washington. D.C..
told the Times Valium is a controlled
substance which requires detailed record
keeping.
"there is a federal requirement in
hospitals, clinics or health service centers
that any time a dosage unit of a controlled
substance is administered to a patient, that
organization is required to keep a record of
what was dispensed, to whom it was
dispensed and who authorized it," Nocclla
told the Times.

copyright laws will affect classroom teaching. "If my students
can't get up and read a poem aloud, I don't know how we can

The Playmaker's Repertory Company avoids copyright
problems by having a releasing agency handle all its plays.
"Our plays are released by releasing agencies and they are
responsible for making sure wc don't violate federal
copyright laws," said Tom Haas, technical director of the
company. v

the University must educate students and student groups
more fully concerning copyright laws than it presently is

Three environmental experts Thursday
told the N.C. Environmental Management
Commission they favor construction of a
reservoir on Cane Creek.
Kenan Professor Daniel Okun of the U NC
environmental sciences and engineering
department spoke in favor of granting the
Orange Water and Sewer Authority petition
to acquire land necessary for the proposed
Cane Creek reservoir.
Under cross-examination by, David
Marlow, attorney for the Cane Creek
Conservation Authority, Okun said the lake
created by the reservoir would be "an
important source of recreation, not only for

Brushing, not toothpaste,cleans teeth
By KATHY HART
Staff Writer
Toothpaste, that gooey, gritty substance
you use several times a day, had its origins
nearly 5,000 years ago in a concoction
prescribed for halitosis which included a
burned hare's head, three ground mice,
marble dust and water.
The Romans invented a competing
brand of dentifrice which contained such
savory ingredients as flour of pumice,
burned egg shells, stag's horns, mice and
lizards.
Today, however, a more scientific
approach is taken in the manufacture of
toothpaste, but the effectiveness of the
product still may in doubt.
"Most people don't know the actual
purpose of toothpaste," said Dr. William
Stanmeyer, a member of the UNC Dental
School and an expert on toothpastes.
"They think it is going to stop tooth decay,
but it really only helps to control the stain
factor on teeth.
"The brushing action of the toothbrush
is what fights the bacteria that causes tooth
decay. Toothpaste merely removes a film
on the teeth created by the saliva in the
mouth. This film causes a dulling of the
teeth which is removed by the abrasives in
toothpaste.
"What you really need is a toothbrush
and not necessarily toothpaste, but people
are taught from early childhood that they
should use toothpaste. Also the flavor in
toothpaste serves as an attraction."
Today, most toothpastes contain an
abrasive, water, humectant (a moisturizer),
a binder, a detergent and other
miscellaneous ingredients such as flavor,
color and sweetness. Some brands also
contain fluoride. 1 he miscellaneous
ingredients usually are guarded bv

Everett Billingsley. OWASA executive
director, said the reservoir may not be a
major recreation attraction because
OWASA will have controlled access to the
shorelines.
"Whet her or not recreation will be allowed
is not going to be determined at this
hearing," Billingsley said.
Okun said a Cane Creek reservoir would
decrease peak flooding downstream and give
residents downstream a higher sustained
flow during dry months.
"Cane Creek is not only the best quality
water source, it is the most economical,"
Okun said. "If a reservoir is built on Jordan
toothpaste manufacturers as secret
ingredients, Stanmeyer said. These are the
ingredients that actually make toothpastes
distinctive to the consumer.
Manufacturers have tried all kinds of
flavorings and gimmicks to make
toothpastes sell. One manufacturer put
stripes in the toothpaste, while another
added liquor such as bourbon and scotch.
Several manufacturers tested antibiotics
and chlorophyll in their toothpastes, but
these substances were banned by the
Federal Drug Administration and the
American Dental Association.
There are two types of toothpastes,
cosmetic and therapeutic. Cosmetic brands
often change chemical composition and
have not been approved by the FDA and
ADA.
"Advertising of cosmetic brands is
governed only by the laws of advertising, so
many half-truths lie behind their claims of
performance," Stanmeyer said.
Therapeutic brands of toothpaste have
been researched, tested and approved by
the FDA and ADA. All of them contain
fluoride, which fights the erosive acids
present in the mouth. There are three such
brands which have received the FDA and
ADA stamp of approval Crest, Colgate
MFP and McClean's.
Just because a brand of toothpaste
contains fluoride docs not necessarily
mean il is effective. Stanmeyer said. Crest,
Colgate and McClean's all contain
ingredients which allow the fluoride to
separate tsell from other ingredierjetsand
be active in the acid-lighting process.
"There are other brands which contain
fluoride, but the fluoride is inseparable

Donald Hoislton. whose ollice lias control
over the health service, said that charges of
unlawful activity in the service are
"ludicrous."
"We are in compliance with all laws." he
said, "as prescribed by the state government,
the U.S. Code and I DA (I ood and Drug
Administration). We'd better be and we'd
better follow it to the hilt. We run a health
service for 20.1X10 people. We'd belter be in
compliance with the law ."
Roulton and DeWalt said that the Times'
interpretation of the law was wrong because
the laws the 7iwv was using applied only to
over-the-counter drug transactions.
"There are sets of laws regulating both
kinds of operations." Boulton said. "One
section applies to retail stores and another to
a hospital that is not dispensing drugs for
money."
DeWalt said whenever he gave Valium to
a player, usually following a football game,
he warned the player of possible adverse
effects if he drank alcohol with the drug. He
also cautioned them of the drug's sedative
effect, and told the athlete not to take the
drug if he were planning on driving an
automobile.

said.
Boulton said he has seen copyright laws violated a half
dozen times on campus, but the violations were never
committed maliciously.
Boulton said that BSM Onyx Theater's recent production
of For Colored Girb Who Have Considered Suicide When
the Rainbow is Enuhas served to remind him once again of
how a lack of guidance for student groups can put them in
danger of violating federal copyright laws without realizing
their transgression.

"If University Lake is expanded, the cost
would be much greater for the same amount
of water from Cane Creek," Okun said.
He recommended building the reservoir
on Cane Creek now because urban
development would make such a project
difficult later.
"People will be buying property, roads
will be built, and there will be dozens and
dozens of people who would be displaced 20
years from now," Okun said. "Right now,
only two families would be displaced, and
