Lobby of new Ctudant Health Service facility Is a cheerful change for III students
New infirmary open to students
By LYNN CASEY
Staff Writer
Although sawing and hammering can still be heard over the
piped-in music and moving men are carrying crates, furnitures j
and potted plants through the corridors, the new Student
Health Services facility is open and the old infirmary is closed. ,
Located at the south end of. Kenan Stadium, the new
building began receiving its first patients Jan. 2 although it is
not yet complete and has not been accepted by the University,
said Dr. James A. Taylor, director of Student Health Services.
The electrical system and smoke detection system are not
fully operative. Other unfulfilled obligations by the contractor
include small carpentry work, flooring and the replacement of
20 inadequate doors in the building.
Taylor said it could be a few weeks or even months before the
contractor met all his obligations. The building originally was
scheduled to open last May.
"We're in it halfway," Taylor said. "We've had an enormous,
difficult holiday period trying to get organized.
"1 do desperately hope the student body will be
understanding while we get unpacked and squared in," Taylor
said.
Taylor said he considers the new facility first-rate and the
flagship of the student health services among the 16 UNC
campuses across the state. Besides being larger than the old
infirmarv the new building has several new features including
specialty clinics, an X-ray suite, a laboratory suite, a full
service pharmacy, a physical therapy unit, conference rooms
and lounges.
uOf all the new services, the one that holds great promise is
the full-service pharmacy," Taylor said. "The pharmacy excites
me more than any other service."
The pharmacy will provide easy accessibility fon students
and prices comparable with or better than those at chain
Dots Indicate new (right) and old Health Services
drugstores, Taylor said. The pharmacy also will provide an
educational setting for pharmacy students, he said.
The full-service pharmacy has been unable to open because
of a delay in obtaining pharmicists, however, said William
Pittman, pharmacy director for Student Health Services.
Pittman said the delay was caused by the Student
Government-led dispute over the $20 health fee increase
implemented this fall. Allocations for the pharmicists could
not be made until the controversy was resolved.
Students were charged a $20 health fee increase last fall
$ 1 5 to cover existing costs and $5 to cover expenses for the new
health service facility. Because the facility was unable to open
last fall, Student Body President J.B. Kelly asked for a $5

North Carolina Athletic Director
William Cqbey, poised t( enter the race
for lieutenant governor as a Republican,
will find out Friday whether the
University will allow him to file as a
candidate while keeping his job through
April.
Cobey resigned Thursday, effective
April 30, to run for the Republican
nomination for lieutenant governor of
North Carolina. A search committee was
appointed Friday to recommend a
successor by March 31.
His candidacy has been welcomed by
Republican leaders. Cobey said he felt he
had the support of Sen. Jesse Helms, R
N.C., and Helms' political strategist Tom
Ellis. Cobey described himself as
philosophically close to the conservative
Helms. "I believe that's where the party
stands today, very much on the
conservative side of issues," he said. "I've
been a lifelong Republican. 1 am
conservative.
"People are ready for a change, ready
to get back to solid values and principles
and get away from this unbelievable
taxation and federal control," Cobey
said. "They want the leaders of their state
to stand up to it."
Officially, Cobey said he is still only
"strongly considering" entering the
lieutenant governor's race as a
Republican.
Duke sorority harassed
"I want to resign April 30. There's a
University regulation when you
announce your candidacy you've
resigned your job," Cobey said. "I don't
want to resign my job right now, so I'm
just strongly considering it at this point in
time."
State Republican Party chairman Jack
Lee told The Associated Press that Cobey
would enter the race and was so far the
only GOP candidate planning to enter
that race. ' .;
, Cobey is currently in New Orleans on a
business trip and will return to Chapel
Hill late today. However, two assistants
in the athletic department say they plan to
apply for his position.
Both Associate Athletic Director
Moyer Smith and Assistant Athletic
Director John Swofford say they will
apply for the job of athletic director.
"Definitely, yes, I'm going to apply,"
said Smith, 40, a former Tar Heel football
player and assistant coach.
"This is like a dream for me. It would
be a great honor for me personally," said
Smith, who has been responsible under
Cobey for scholarships, fund-raising and
planning of new facilities.
"It's the goal of people in athletic
administration to return to their alma
maters and run the program."
Others mentioned as possible
candidates for the job include UNC
Charlotte Athletic Director Clyde
Walker and UNC basketball coach Dean

Smith.
Swofford said he is also planning to
apply for the position. "The athletic
director's job at Carolina is one of the top
such positions in the United States.
"Being a graduate and having played
and worked here, I certainly have great
interest in the position, as anyone would
who has been an assistant with as many
ties as I do," said Swofford, 31, who
serves as business manager for the UNC
athletic department.
Zeta Pi charged with assault
By NANCY THORNE
Staff Writer
An Honor Court investigation is scheduled to begin this week
into charges leveled at the UNC chapter of Zeta Psi fraternity by
members of Duke University's Alpha Omicron Pi sorority who
say they were harassed and assaulted at a Zeta Psi Christmas
party.
UNC Vice Chancellor Donald A. Boulton said the
investigation should begin within the next few days. Boulton said
his office also will form an administrative review. committee to
evaluate the incident. Duke University's Dean of Student Life
James Douthat has filed a formal complaint with the UNC Office
of Student Affairs.
Nineteen members of Alpha Omicron Pi who attended a Dec.
2 Zeta Psi party claimed the fraternity brothers exposed
themselves, threw drinks at them and pulled at the sorority
sisters' clothing. The complaint also alledged that feces were
thrown in one woman's lap and another woman was pushed
down a stairway.
The women said that when they tried to leave the house they
found that the doorknob had been removed. The women said
they exited through a window.
Boulton said he has received a letter from alumni of the UNC
Zeta Psi chapter stating that the alumni group will take punitive
action against the active fraternity members. Possible sanctions
cited include indefinite suspension of three Zeta Psi members,
prohibition of Zeta Psi parties for the rest of the academic year
and a formal chapter apology to the members of Alpha Omicron
Pi.
Zeta Psi President David Carlton refused to comment on
either the incident or the actions taken by the alumni..-
The Zeta Psi chapter at UNC had its charter revoked once
before in 1978 as punishment for excessive rowdiness, said Tim
Lucido, president of the Interfraternity Council. The council
may take additional punitive measures if the alumni action, the
Honor Court investigation and the Student Affairs review
committee do not result in adequate measures, he said.
Lucido declined to speculate on what specific action the
council might take until the official investigation is underway.
"R ight before exams was the worst time for it to happen," he said.
"Nothing could be done about it right away."
Rewrite may face student protest
By ANNE-MARIE DOWNEY
Staff Writer
Student Government plans to protest a
restriction in the proposed Chapel Hill
zonirig ordinance rewrite which would
limit to four the number of unrelated
persons who could live in a single
dwelling unit, Student Body President
J. B. Kelly said Tuesday.
"It (the restriction) does seem to be
aimed at students," Kelly said, "There's
already a housing problem and this only
would compound it."
The restriction is included in the town's
zoning ordinance rewrite which is
currently being reviewed by the town
Planning $oard. The ordinance proposes
that the number of unrelated persons
living in a single dwelling unit be
restricted to four but proposes no
restriction for related persons. The
restriction would apply to all single
dwelling units, including apartments,
regardless of their size.
Fraternity and sorority houses and
rooming houses are not classified as

single dwelling .units and would not be
affected by the limit.
Much of the support for the limitation
comes from area residents who oppose
the movement of students into
established neighborhoods, Chapel Hill
Planning Director Mike Jennings said
recently.
Kelly said, "There's just a lot of
movement in the town to move students
out of established housing. Students seem
to be getting slapped in the face."
, Kelly said he planned to work with
Peter Boneparth, president of the
Association of Apartment Dwellers, to
organize opposition to the proposal.
Dorothy Bernholz of Student Legal
Services said she alerted Boneparth to the
proposal after she read a newspaper
article about the restriction. Bernholz
said that there were legal precedents
supporting such a zoning restriction. But
she added, "Nothing is black and white in
law."
If the restriction is approved, and it
later can be proved that it( is designed to
discriminate against a particular group,
Bernholz said it possibly could be struck
down.
"But you would have to have a lot of
proof," she said.
The idea of limiting the number of
unrelated persons who can live in a house
or apartment was discussed by the Chapel
Hill Planning Board two years ago but
was not acted on, Bernholz said.
"Now it's creeping back in," she said.
The issue is not so much legal as
political, Bernholz said. The key is
student response to the proposal, she
said.
"We (Student Government) will be
active in trying to change that portion of
the zoning rewrite," Kelly said.
The planning board already has
discussed the proposal and agreed to the

restriction, but Planning boaid
Chairman Roscoe Reeve said he opposed
the limit. He said that if opposition is
expressed it is likely the board will
reconsider the restriction.
Reeve said he was also concerned that
the restriction would be selectively
enforced, being applied only after
residents' complaints.

UNC students will be unable to
preregister for more than 17 credit hours
for the fall 1980 semester, butat least
for now they still have six weeks to
declare a course pass-fail.
The preregistration limit was approved
at a Dec. 14 meeting of the Faculty
Council. A motion to shorten pass-fail
declaration period was withdrawn after
the council received an unfavorable
committee recommendation on the
proposal.
The new preregistration limit was
adopted on a trial basis after the council
heard arguments from Mark
Appelbaum, chairman of the council's
Educational Policy Committee; J.B.
Kelly, UNC student body president; and
Samuel Williamson Jr., dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences.
"It is the feeling of the EPC that the
current structure of preregistration is one
of the reasons students are closed out of
courses," Appelbaum said. However, he
acknowledged that the 17-hour limit
would not completely solve the problcmi
caused by students who register for more
courses than they intend to take.
"The system now, however, is
inequitable to students who basically
cannot do anything about itjunior
transfers, freshmen and returning
students," Appelbaum said.
The basic proposal asked that "all
undergraduate preregistration be limited
to 17 hours, exclusive of physical
education activities courses, music
performances, and laboratory courses."
After a request by Kelly, Williamson
recommended that the limit by imposed
on a trial basis and that the EPC report

Demand prompts athletic center proposal
By BILL FIELDS
Assistant Sports Editor
First of a two-part series on the proposed UNC
student athletic center.
The well-known winning tradition of the UNC
basketball program has created an equally well
known reputation of high demand for tickets to
home games in Carmichael Auditorium.
And more often than not, that reputation is
prefaced with a warning that many ticket orders
cannot be filled because of the diminutive size in
comparison with other major basketball
programs of the Tar Heel's home arena.
Since the first game was played in Carmichael
on Dec. 4, 1 965, the demand for tickets has risen as
rapidly as the Tar Heels' success on the court.
A student population of 20,000 scrambles for a
chance at one of 3,600 student seats at a home
game, often missing classes and waiting in line
before dawn. Contributors to the athletic program
sign their names to long waiting lists for the
opportunity to buy season tickets. Many who
donate do not even receive that chance.
Faculty and staff of the U niversity have an even
slimmer chance of being in Carmichael for a UNC
home game. As for the average fan of Carolina
basketball a fan who is not a contributor to the
program hopes of seeing a UNC home game are
virtually nil.
"Back in 1966, somebody asked me if interest in
basketball in this area could get any greater, and 1
said I don't see how- and it has each year," said
UNC basketball coach Dean Smith. "It's almost to
the point of being unrealistic. I'm amazed at how
many people say they'd like to see a game but they
can't get in."
Smith, who became Tar Heel coach in 196 1 , has
the highest winning percentage of any active coach
in the country. The University has some of the
most loyal and vocal fans in the nation as well.
And while Carmichael has one of the most
frenicd atmospheres of any collegiate arena, its
10,000 seats do not come close to fulfilling the
ticket demand.
To remedy the problem or at least minimise
it the University is in the schematic design stages
for a new athletic center which would seat 18,000
or more spectators and serve as a recreational
facility for the student body.
If plans go according to the present schedule,
construction will begin in 1 982, with competion set
for 1985, UNC Director of Athletics Bill Cobey
said.
"Let's face it," Cobey said. "We've had pean
Smith and an incredible amount of success, jlad
we not had that incredible success, we may pot
have the pressure that we now have for a new
facility."
Cobey said the pressure to build a new
basketball facility comes from all sides. "There arc
other schools doing very well with facilities the size
of Carmichael, but they don't have basketball
programs like ours," he said.
"The pressure comes from every direction. 1
guess I feel the pressure more from the students
and from the alumni and friends of the University
than I do from the faculty and vtaff. But I get the
pressure from every direction."
The proposed new arena, w hich is planned to be
built on the sourthcrn fringes of the campus off
Mason Farm Road south of Manning Drive,
