Mock' attack
s
J
to test state
civil defense
By CAROL HANNER
Staff Writer
Don't panic, but on the morning of
Nov. 17, a major land war broke out in
Europe. Sometime between Dec. 4 and
Dec. 8, an all out nuclear exchange
between the United States and the
U.S.S.R. will erupt.
This is the scenario for a civil defense
mock emergency exercise this week in
eight southeastern states, including 82
North Carolina counties.
The simulated nuclear attack, the first
since 1968, is designed to test the
capabilities of state and county civil
preparedness staffs, David L. Britt,
director of the state's Division of Civil
Preparedness in Raleigh, said.
"The average citizen won't really be
involved in the test," Britt said. "There's
no way we would attempt to move or
notify the populace because it would
cause too much confusion."
He said state and regional offices of
civil preparedness will work with county
coordinators on the test during working
hours as if a real emergency existed.
Britt said his state staff will receive a
message through one of five electronic
communications systems about the
nuclear weapon's size and coordinates of
where it will land.
"We will spend most of the week
computing the technical information to
predict damages of the radioactive
fallout," Britt explained.
The staff will determine fallout
patterns and notify county offices how
much and where fallout will occur, he
said.
The county offices can then send
.prepared copies of instructions for the
public to the major media, who could
distribute the information within hours if
a real attack occurred. The information
would advise people where to go, what to
do and what to take with them.
County coordinator Burch Compton
said Orange County is assigned to serve
as a host county, which means officials
will try to find food and housing for.
Durham residents.
"The county has a prepared plan which
we will try to follow as we receive
information, then we will report back on
what we were able to provide," Compton
said.
Chapel Hill does not have a civil
preparedness plan, he said.
Britt said the plan just happened to
coincide with President Carter's recent
proposal to spend $1 billion to improve
civil defense plans. The country now
spends approximately $110 million
annually on civil defense.
Britt said this week's exercises will not
cost any additional money. He said he
hoped to make the exercises an annual
event including other government
agencies in the state.

GREENSBORO N. C. State
coach Norman Sloan had just
watched his team participate in North
Carolina's version of the Civil War, an
annual battle waged with wayward
elbows, slam dunks, pressure defense
and uncomplimentary fight songs.
Although relieved that his
sixth-ranked Wolfpack had won the
Big Four Tournament consolation
game Saturday night, Sloan was still
aggravated by the thought of bringing
his team to Greensboro Coliseum
every December from here to eternity
to hassle with North Carolina, Wake
Forest and Duke as he's done for nine
years. May as well go to the looney bin
as to the Big Four.
"There's a great deal of relief in our
dressing room," Sloan said after 77-70
win over Wake Forest. "1 don't know
if a team should be put in the position
of losing two games here. We're killing
ourselves out there. We're fighting for
our life. We're trying to prevent a loss.
I'm in favor of redoing this thing. We
might even do away , with it.. It's
ridictflous.' Utterly ridiculous."
Carolina coach Dean Smith had
j ust watched his Tar H eels, a team out
to prove that the world, contrary to
popular opinion in Chapel Hill, did
not come to an end when Phil Ford
took his talents to the NBA, as they
pushed No. 1 Duke to the limit in
Saturday night's finals before the Blue
Devils took a 78-68 win. The Big Four
has never been Smith's idea of a
pleasant way to spend a weekend. "I'd
rather play UCLA and Notre Dame
on a neutral court than play these
teams with all the emotion and juices
flowing," he said.
Wake Forest coach Carl Tacy had
just reinforced the league's best, but
he'd also suffered through, the ordeal
of watching the three freshmen in his
starting lineup play like they were
supposed to like freshmen. The
Deacons looked horrible in a 73-55
first-round loss Friday to Carolina
before improving somewhat in the
consolation loss. "It's tough for both
teams to get up for the consolation."
Tacy said. "It might not be a bad idea
if we spared the players the extra
pressure of pulling themselves back
together so soon."
And Duke coach Bill Foster had
just watched his poised, veteran Blue
Devils, down nine points to the Tar
Heels in the first half of the finals,
calmly fight their way back to a
halftime tie and an eventual victory
after slipping by State 65-63 Friday
night. It was Duke's first Big Four title
and only the second time they've made
it to the finals. And Foster was just
happy to be there. "Usually by this
time we'd be back in Durham after
playing the consolation," he said.
So there might be some changes in
the Big Four within the next few years,
if the coaches have their way. They
might move it to later in the season,
they might invite- some teams " from
outside the state, or, as Sloan suggests,
they might get rid of it altogether, in
which case the four coaches might
consider chartering a boat to take
them somewhere in the Southern
Hemisphere where irate fans can't get
a hold of them. Abolish the Big Four?
That'd be like telling a child Santa's
been fired. ,
After all. Big Four is big stuff
around here. There's as much
competition among fans to see who
gets to fill the arena's 15,580 seats as
there is among the players to see
whom gets to cut down the nets after
the finals. They couldn't even fill the
place when the tourney opened in

Witness trades testimony for manure
By CAROL CARNEY ALE
Staff Writer
Dr. Leonard Goldwater believes in the
barter system.
Instead of the traditional green stuff,
Goldwater asked the Cane Creek
Conservation Authority to pay him with a
truckload of manure for testimony at state
hearings on the proposed Cane Creek
reservoir.
That's not unusual for Goldwater, a
physician, semi-retired professor of
environmental medicine at UNC and Duke
University and a member of the North
Carolina Water Quality Council.
"Back in the Depression days, I had a little
farm in New Jersey, and 1 used to accept fee
payments instead of medical payments," he
said. Nobody had any money, and I'd get paid
in eggs or chickens or manure."
Goldwater will use the manure, delivered
Saturday morning, as fertilizer for his
vegetable garden. "We haven't had to buy a
vegetable in years. We raise enough to freeze,
can, or give to neighbors or swap around."
The manure, estimated to weigh about a ton
and to fertilize about one-tenth of an acre,
' came from the Thomas Teer dairy in the Cane
Creek area. Teer's son, Mike, is now the
CCCA president.
This particular load of manure had been
rotting under a barn for about 20 years. That
makes the manure more valuable because it
has no seeds in it. "Fresh manure is full of weed
seeds," said Ed Johnson, a UNC associate
professor in psychology who lives near Cane
Creek and helped the Teer deliver the manure
to Goldwater.
Goldwater estimated the time he spent with
the hearing to be worth several thousand
dollars, which would make this the richest
fertilizer ever used. .
Mike Teer, CCCA president, said the
organization paid others for their services "any
way they want it."
His father looked at the manure and
he
laughed. " I his is what we have the most of.
said.
Goldwater said his testimony - at last
summer's Environmental Management
Commission hearing on Cane Creek
concerned mercury levels in fish in the
proposed Jordan Lake.
"The fear of mercury poisoning from fish is
nonsense," he said. "There is no reason for not
using Jordan Lake based on fear of mercury in
fish."
The CCCA has asked the Orange Water and
Sewer Authority to use water from the B.
Everett Jordan Lake, which the Army Corps
of Engineers hopes to impound next summer
at the already completed dam in Chatham
County, rather than build a new reservoir at
Cane Creek. The Corps now is facing a lawsuit
which seeks to prevent impoundment.
"Jordan Lake could be an adequate water
source for Chapel Hill." Goldwater said. "The
dislocation has already been done at Jordan
Lake, and I thought it would be a mistake to
despoil a new area."

The Encare Oval, a contraceptive vaginal suppository, may
not be as reliable as advertisements make it sound. UNC health
officials said recently.
We've been trying to tell students that the product is not that
reliable," said Dr. Mary Jane Gray. a gynecologist at the Student
Health Service. Although the product's makers claimed earlier
this year that it was found in studies to be effective 99 percent of
the time. Gray said the effectiveness of Encare Oval is probably
no greater than 7X percent, the effectiveness rate of other
contraceptive foams and creams on the market.
Gray said some students have become pregnant after using
Encare Oval. Local druggists say the contraceptive has sold well:
The health officials spoke out as a result of new local
advertising of the product, including ads in the 77r Tar Heel.
"The product would be OK if it was combined with another
method of birth control, such as a diaphragm or a condom,
UNC health educator Sharon Meginnis said.
"I don't think the company is representing the product
properly," Stephen lorter, UNC assistant professor of
pharmacy, said. " They make it sound unique. The only thing
unique about the product is its form."
The Encare Oval insert contains a premeasured dose of the
sperm-killing agent nonoxynol 9 which is found in other
contraceptive foams, creams and gels. Once inserted, the Oval
melts and effervesces, dispersing the sperm-killing agent within
the vagina. J
Norwich-Eaton, the maker of Encare Oval, advertises the
product as "the most talked about contraceptive since the pilL?
Ads in newspapers and magazines say a recenrU.S. study and
earlier European studies show that Encare 'Oval provides
consistent and extremely high effectiveness.
"They've gotten more careful in their recent ads," Gray said.
"They don't say anything at all. They don't say where the tests
were done, what they were or what the results were."
In November 1977. when Encare Oval went on the market in
the United States; its advertisements claimed an efficacy rate of
one (pregnancy) per 100 women in one year and described it as
the kickoff of "a new era in non-hormonal contraception" wit ha
unique double, action priciple of 'spermicide plus a viscous
barrier. . . v;. - - '
Last spring, the "Food and Drug Administration said it was.
concerned about the reliability of the tests which produced the 99
percent effectiveness results. "The study was poorly assembled
and consists largely of testimonial evidence." the FDA said in a
spring drug bulletin.. "The study did not report information on
women who used the method for less than one year and who may
have' become pregnant or slopped using, the method forQther-.
reasons." - ",-''.. t " - 1

Encare-Oval ads have drawn skepticism
In April, Norwich-Eaton voluntarily revised its labeling and
promotional claims. It deleted the 99 percent effectiveness claim
and the description of Encare Oval's dual action as unique. Many
other contraceptive gels, foams, creams and suppositories also
contain spermicides and a mechanical barrier to sperm.
. Porter said he is concerned about how the new U.S. studies on
Encare Oval were conducted. In ads, Norwich-Eaton says these
studies support earlier European studies. "We don't know if these
studies were general population studies," Porter said. "They may
not have been done w ith a group as sexually active as university
students." -. .

. A grown man. an associate professor in
sociology at that, enters Hamilton Hall
for a Thursday evening lecture. Nothing
unusual about that, except that he has on
make-up, a black tuxedo, red carnation,
red sequin belt and vivid red hail polish.
And the performance er. lecture on
the cult phenomena of the Rocky Horror
Picture Show presented by Craig
Calhoun did not end with this strange'
opening. Excerpts from the soundtrack
brought audience and lecturer alike to
their feet doing the time warp in the aisles,
singing along and adding a line or two not
included in the original version.
But the serious content of the lecture
came through. "We all knew the Rocky
Horror Picture Show" Calhoun said.
"We had all been there. We had all shared
in the most common experience of all
growing up. growing up normal
especially. And growing up normal is a
painful and embarrassing experience."
Calhoun said the audience
participation in Rocky gives the movie
goers an outlet for their repressed,
abnormal emotions and actions. "When
we are growing up. we learn to try to hold
everything in," he said. ""Rot v is a way ot
talking. Going to a motion picture in
costume is a way of talking but not saying
anything we have to be embarrassed to let
out."
Calhoun asked the audience how many
times they had seen Rocky, and more
Officiuls say no to MEW merging. progrum
than 40 persons had seen it I0 times. "If
they just told good jokes, then we'd have
just seen it once or maybe twice," he said.
"Ten. 15 or 23 times is more than we
usually see a motion picture.
"Some people try to explain the
repeated attendances by saying, Kids
have just lost their sense of creativity.
They're just doing the same thing.' That's
not only wrong, but its bo-o-o-oring."
Calhoun said Rocky s audience is not
conformist. He said they try to have the
most unusual costumes. "We all like to
have the - dignity of knowing we're
distinctive." he said. "We've been told by
society to keep our differences private
and make our-conformities public. Bui
we can hold our urgencies n only so long
and they become gradually more urgent."
The audience participation in Rocky
. Horror gives a release to these urgencies,"
Calhoun said. "We live each second in
peril not of death that's easy but of
meahinglessrtess.. Rocky Horror
challenges us to live lor nothing but lust,
to reduce ourselves to animals and retain
something of our sincerity. We may not
go this 4ar, but Rocky is a way of
collectively trying to deal with'our fears.
It's a way of diffusing them without even
talking about them. A lot of the appeal is
that it is socially tabu. We're not
supposed to be a transvestite. say 'touch
me' or walk around in gold-lame bikini."
The Roiky Horror Picture Show.

political outlets that have not fulfilled
their needs.
""Rocky is about individual ideas
instead of public ideas like politics. The
appeal of political activity is for those of
us who think we are somebody and can
change something. But if you think the
world is really out of control, you choose
something to prove you really exist."
Calhoun said Rocky is a way for
individuals to get out of their traditional
roles in a way besides sexual activity. "If
we're too clean, it sure sounds great to be
dirty. No amount of sex can bring
fulfillment, but it sure helps. So does the

In a study released Friday, officials of the 16-campus
UNC system indicated that North Carolina will continue
to reject an approach endorsed by the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare toward elimination of
racial duality that calls for merging or eliminating
programs duplicated between neighboring traditionally
black and traditionally white institutions.
The study, prepared by UNC's General
Administration, and approved Friday by the Committee
on Eduational Policies of the UNC Board of Governors,
constitutes the final step in the compromise agreement
reached last May between UNC and HEW. The
agreement averted a cut-off of $89 million in annual
federal aid to the state university system.
North Carolina officials at that time agreed to tell
HEW by Dec. 31 how the state plans to eliminate
"educationally unnecessary program duplication among
traditionally black and traditionally white institutions in
the same service area."
The study finds no "educationally unnecessary"
program duplication among the 1 1 1 examples of
duplicated programs within either of the two groups of
schools investigated: UNC-CH, NCCU and NCSU;and
UNC-G, NC A & T and Winston-Salem State
University.
The report rejects the notion that any of UNC's 16
institutions has a geographically limited "service area,"
noting that each school enrolls students from all parts of
the state and beyond. The study contends that
eliminating duplicated programs would only serve to
weaken the institutions deprived. Such a policy, the
report says, would limit educational opportunities inthe
state, without necessarily furthering the goal of
desegregation.
"It simply cannot be assumed that by the device of
closing or moving programs that you move students,"
said Raymond Dawson, UNC vice president and author
of the report. "If you close the School of Education at
NCSU,and put it all at NCCU, there's no way to assume
that all its students would move."
The report notes the nationwide use of varying
admissions criteria between individual campuses within
the state university system., "We all know that students
are entering the university with varying levels of
preparation," UNC President William C. Friday said.
"If we're trying to keep the door of opportunity as wide
open as we can, it makes no sense to be closing
programs, t ,
"The conflict here is not over objectives, but the
method of reaching them," Friday said.
Friday said policies already adopted by the Board of
Governors to strengthen the formerly black institutions
and encourage black enrollment in the formerly white
institutions are succeeding. He cited a long list of special
programs and investments in the traditionally black
schools, including $3H million in capital improvement
since 1972. Friday noted increased white enrollment in
the traditionally black institutions, and rising black
enrollment at traditionally white institutions. - V, ;;
Friday said Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. endorsed the
duplication study last week, as had the chancellors of the
five traditionally black UNC institutions. ' v ',
The full Board of Governors is expected to approve
the study dec. 8. H E W has 90 days to accept or reject the
report. David S. Tatel. director of H EW's Office of Civil
Rights, refused to comment on the UNC study Friday.
The OCR rejected duplication reports submitted last
month by Georgia and Virginia. Tatel cited the failure by
the two states to merge neighboring traditionally black
and traditionally white schools offering duplicative
programs.
Of the six southern states involved with OCR in
desegregation proceedings, only Oklahoma has
submitted an acceptable duplication study. Oklahoma
assigned its sole traditionally black institution an
educational mission unique within the Oklahoma
system..
Friday said UNC officials have had no conversation
with the OCR in regard to the duplication study, "if they
make the decision on educational grounds, I think they'll
accept the study, " he said.
