' - 1 Wednesday, February 20. 1SS0 The Daily Tar Heel 3 ail on wheel if . tit , 'Capitalist pigs' warned deters crime By ANNETTE MILLER Staff Writer "Crime prevention starts in the high chair and not in the electric chair." J. Edgar Hoover, former FBI director. Hoover's message crackled over the loudspeaker, a blue light flashed and a crowd of curious onlookers gathered around the ominous black trailer outside University Mall. They were looking at "Jail On Wheels," an exhibit that travels across the United States 10 months a year showing law enforcement paraphernalia that "provide a constant reminder of what awaits those who would take the law into their own hands," an exhibit handout says. The display, in Chapel H ill until Sunday, is sponsored by the J. Edward Slavin Foundation in Clinton, Conn, and funded by viewers donations. "Children are the main reason for the exhibit," said Bob Sharp, one of three policemen traveling with the exhibit. J. Edward Slavin, a late sheriff of Connecticut's New Haven County, originated the exhibit in 1947 to deter would-be juvenile delinquents. Ninety percent of all criminals have records starting in juvenile delinquency, the loudspeaker told the audience. "You can watch the expressions on the faces of the , grammar school children when they go through the exhibit. It has an effect," Sharp said.. Inside the trailer, dozens of police badges from Honolulu to Peoria, 111., decorated the wall. To the right was a cold, bare jail cell, approximately half the size of a it .: i ' "J r Traveling exhibit sscks to deter futuro criminals through scare tsctlcs DTHJay Hyman real cell. Alan Lamb, 22, exclaimed as he walked past, "I'd hate to live in that kind of atmosphere for years. It'd play with your mind." A display of confiscated weapons, fingerprint equipment, "bug" detectors, a breath analyzer, radar, a lie detector, tear gas riot-dispersing equipment and bullet-proof vests lined the left side of the trailer. In the center, leg irons, hand cuffs and thumb cuffs gave a tinge of irony to Sharp's comment that the exhibit is a crime prevention place, not a torture chamber. - "What is that?" a little boy asked, pointing to a life size electric chair beside a model of a gas chamber. "That's to kill people who are bad," the man with him said. "But why do they have to tie people up?" the boy Campus Chest carnival slated Apr. 17 By BETS! SIMMONS Staff W riter Free beer, live entertainment, fun and games, and a large crowd will come together April 17 at Ehringhaus field for the eighth annual Alpha Phi Omega Campus Chest Carnival. The carnival, to be held from 7 p.m. to midnight, is a cooperative event coordinated by APO, the lnterfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council and various residence halls, said Jeff Cheek, chief organizer of the carnival. "We've contacted all the fraternities and sororities and are in the process of contacting all the dorms to set up booths," Cheek said. "In the past we've had such booths as Beta Vegas, Egg-A-Pledge, Grit-A-Kappa, a dunking bopth and various other food and drink booths." APO is planning to invite four bands varying from a rock group to a folk group. Cheek said.The UNC Jazz Lab Band already has accepted an invitation to play at the carnival. ' Cheek said the carnival will be expanded, this year to involve not only fraternities and sororities, but other campus organizations as well. "We want to make it a campus-wide event with all organizations participating," he said. "Thus, in addition to raising funds we're giving organizations a chance to publicize." Cheek said APO has received about 60 percent affirmative responses from campus organizations. The Association of Business Students, the College Republicans and the Student Consumer Action Union are among those groups which will participate Proceeds from the carnival will go to various charities including the Campus Y, Chapel H ill Public Library and the Rape Crisis Center, Cheek said. "It's our biggest fund-raiser of the year and by increasing participation, we hope toexpand the success of the carnival both financially and informatively." he said. asked, obviously distressed at the straps that encircled the arms, legs and center of the chair. Sharp explained the straps were designed to hold the person as 2,300 volts of electricity charged through his body, The person usually dies within seconds, Sharp said. . "This exhibit is not designed to advocate a position on capital punishment," Sharp said. "...It's designed to show what could happen." But Sharp said he knew of at least one time the exhibit was effective. A man in Lancaster, Penn., in 1978 brought his four children to the exhibit and told Sharp that as a teenager the man had seen the exhibit just before he planned to rob a store. "It changed my life... I wanted my children to see it," the man told Sharp.

Name Address CityStateZip Phone ( 21 Greenlaw Hall was evacuated from approximately 2:10-3:15 p.m. Tuesday after an anonymous threat was called in to the English department. "Some guy called in and said, 'Unless you capitalist pigs vacate the premises in exactly five minutes you will die,"' said Carolyn Jenkins, secretary for the department of English. The caller did not specify how he would carry out his threat or what organization he was affiliated with, if any, Jenkins said. "He could have been a student," she said. "His voice was very harsh and deep and he spoke distinctly. 1 thought he had a cold." Five University Police officers were dispatched to Greenlaw after the call came in at 1:55 p.m. A search of the building revealed nothing. Some classes were inconvenienced slightly by the threat. J. K. King, associate professor of English, held his class outdoors while the building was searched. ANNETTE MILLER Heart Fund benefits from dance Sigma Nu fraternity has donated $525 to the Orange County Heart Fund, from money raised at a January downtown sock hop.

We had an attendance of over 400 people," Daly said. -ELIZABETH DANIEL H eiden wins third gold LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) American Eric Heiden won the 1,000 meter speed skating event Tuesday, his third gold medai and third Olympic record time in the XIII Winter Games. Heiden, 21, from Madison, Wis., who previously had won the 500 and 5,000 meters, was timed at 1 minute, 15.18 seconds to surpass fellow American Peter Mueller's Olympic record of 1:19.32. Heiden is only the fourth man to win three speed skating golds. He will try for an unprecedented fourth in Thursday's 1 ,500 meters and could make it five in the 10,000 meters on Saturday. Gaetan Boucher of Canada won the silver medal in the 1 ,000-meter event, and Frode Roenning of Norway and Vladimir Lobanov of the Soviet Union tied for the bronze. Mueller, who won the gold in 1976, was fifth. Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark, the world's premier skier but never an Olympic goal medalist, won the men's giant slalom. Phil Mahre of Yakima, Wash., the United States No. 1 hope for a medal in the event, came in 10th and his twin brother, Steve, was 13th. Ulrich Wehling of East Germany won an unprecedented third straight Olympic gold in the Nordic Combined event. Meanwhile, warmer weather, a decrease in spectators and improved transportation eased some of the problems at the Games, but a power failure just as competition started hampered some events. A transformer in the Lake Placid electrical system failed at about 10 a.m. while biathlon competition was in progress and just before the start of the final run of the men's giant slalom and finals in speed skating. Emergency generators restored current at the biathlon but the electric scoreboard, public address system and television went dead.
