system costs. In the negotiations
Chapel Hill has been stressing that
Carrboro's share be based on straight
gross costs.
Sharer said that Carrboro should
not pay straight gross costs since the
town would not be able to participate
in policy decisions of the transit
system as a whole. In addition, he said
that Carrboro would not receive all
the benefits reflected by straight
gross costs.

The Board also authorized the
town attorney to see if Carrboro has
claim to state funds being given to
UNC to support local public transit.
"The Chapel Hill Board of
Aldermen have eliminated the
possibility of pursuing an
alternative," Sharer said. "This has
been a disappointment to me."
Carrboro Alderman John Boone
said, "We've been offered a bitter pill.
Either we pay the high costs or we get
no service."
Grants awarded locally
The University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, the Town of Chapel Hill and
the Orange Water and Sewer Authority
in Carrboro were recently awarded
grants by government agencies.
The University received a $15,020
grant from the National Endowment for
the Humanities to organize, analyze and
index the folklore collection of Annabel
Morris Buchanan.
The collection of books, manuscripts,
photographs, and recordings of the noted
folklorist was given to the University last
fall by Mrs. Buchanan of Paducah, Ky.,
and her four children.
Buchanan gathered the material during
her long career as a writer, music teacher,
performer, composer and student of the
American folksong. Her disc and tape
recordings and music books are housed in
the music library in Hill Hall. Manuscripts
and photographs are in the Southern
Folklore Collection of Wilson Library.
The Buchanan Collection contains 44
rare 19th century American religious
tunebooks, her own unpublished choral
compositions, unpublished transcriptions
of folksongs that she collected and three
unpublished studies of folksongs.
A continuing Community
Development Block Grant of $302,000
was awarded to the Town of Chapel Hill
by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. This amount was an
addition to the previous award of
$1,395,000. The total grant is now
$1,697,000 through the fiscal year 1978.
The funds are to be used for acquisition,
relocation, referral, streets and park
improvements.
In another grant, the Environmental
Protection Agency awarded a wastewater
treatment construction works of
$344,025 to the Orange Water and Sewer
Authority in Carrboro.
These funds will be used for
preparation of plans and specifications for
upgrading and expanding the 5.5 MCD
Mason Farm Wastewater Treatment
Plant to a 8.0 MCD riant.

Polk Youth Center
overcrowded
A brisk wind blew as the electric
gate slid open. A young man about 18
wearing dingy grey pants and a white
t-shirt shuffled through. He was
wearing leg irons.
A prison guard followed him
through two more gates. Once they
were inside the fences, the guard
removed the leg irons and walked
back outside to a small guardhouse.
The young man stayed inside. The
gate slid shut.
Soon another guard would come
and take him to one of the barracks
that house the inmates. Once there,
he would be another addition to the
already overcrowded prison
population at Polk Youth Center.
Polk Youth Center, located in
Raleigh, houses inmates aged 18 to 21
who have been convicted of a felony.
The center is designed to house 450
inmates. It now houses about t00.
The overcrowding places a strain
on prison employees. Richard
Davenport, a counselor at the prison,
said he has a caseload of 125. He also
said he works a split shift that
includes working 40 hours a week
plus returning to the prison three
nights a week to conduct special
programs for the inmates.
A 21-year-old inmate convicted of
robbing a drugstore was not happy
with conditions in the prison. His
main complaints were the
overcrowding and the lack of
counselors.
A 21-year-old inmate convicted of
armed robbery said more fights
between inmates break out in the
summer. He said living in the prison is
harder when the weather is hot
because the inmates get restless.
The inmate convicted of robbing
the drugstore said the overcrowding
causes friction between the inmates
and guards. Still, he said, there is little
open conflict between them. Most of
the inmates' anger is directed at the
system and not at the guards, he said.
Jim Leathers, program supervisor
at the prison, said that overcrowding
is a great problem.
Leathers said it is hard to accept the
reality of working on a limited
budget: "We're supposed to be non
political and keep our mouths shut.
What happens behind bars is a
tragedy not even Shakespeare could
write about."
But, said Leathers, the prison
employees become insensitive to the
conditions: "If you work in it long
enough, you get used to it."
Polk is classified as a medium
security prison. That means there are
barracks instead of cells and wire
fences instead of stone walls, but to
the inmates there is little difference.
Polk is still a prison.
Leathers said the present prison
conditions would probably get worse
instead of better. He also said the job
of rehabilitating the inmates is
difficult. He calles the prison a
graduate school of crime:
"What we are producing. .is a
cancer that is going to come back on
America."
He said the effect of prison was to
toughen the inmates. Thi result i.
that they have less respect for society
after they are released. And this will
eventually worsen the crime
problem, he said.
