Tar Heel fireman fulfills his fantasy ' lit '- i 1 Tuesday, April 8. 1S80 The Daily Tar Heel 3 Funeral services held for UNC student 1 ,, K I 4 .1 i. By PHIL WELLS SufTWriler " Randy Whittington has earned almost 100 "credit hours" since coming to UNC two years ago. But these hours will not count toward his business major and will not be tallied in with his graduation requirements. ... Whittington has earned his "credit hours" by handling flammable liquids, working with hazardous roadway materials and forest f iref ighting. As a sophomore, he is a volunteer fireman for the Carrboro Fire Department. Since Whittington worked as a volunteer firefighter for almost five years in North Wilkesborp, N. C, his hometown, he decided to continue firefighting and applied for a job at the Carrboro Fire Department when he came to UNC. And Whittington, who said he always wanted to be a fireman, is glad he took the job. "It (firefighting) was a boyhood fantasy and I've really enjoyed it," he said. "I could never take anything for it." To be a volunteer fireman in North Carolina, a person .must have 36 hours of training. Whittington said he has had almost 400 hours of training since becoming a volunteer fireman. Although the work is often hard, Whittington said he has no complaints about the job. "It's (time) always worked out and it (firefighting) hasn't bothered my sleeping," he said. Whittington works about three to four hours a week, and does not have to respond to a fire while he is in class, unless it is a dire emergency. "I guess only one time has it (the job) interfered." Whittington referred to a firefighting clinic about two weeks ago that caused him to get behind in his school work. The Carrboro Fire Department answers about five calls a physically able," he said, week, Whittington said. The force consists of seven full-time He said he has only once had second thoughts about firemen and 25 volunteer firemen. firefighting.

But Whittington said he .realized that firefighting is an Whittington's roommates also have to live with his firefighting extremely important job which someone must do. So it might as feats. After a fire "thev sometimes ask me to undress outside and well be me, he said. "And besides, I can t think of anything else 1 d rather be doing." Funeral services were held at Raleigh Memorial Park Monday for UNC senior Kevin Andrew Ihnen, 22, who died early Friday from injuries he received when he was struck by a truck near the Carolina Inn Thursday. Ihnen died at 12:54 a.m. Friday from massive head injuries sustained in the accident. Although surgery was performed late Thursday in an effort to save him, officials at North Carolina Memorial Hospital said he never regained consciousness. Ihnen was hit Thursday morning as he was crossing South Columbia Street in front of Abernethy Hall. Chapel Hill Public Safety Officer Bill M inton said Ihnen stepped into the path of a truck owned by Lee Brick and Tile Company of Sanford as it was traveling north. M inton said the truck was traveling at approximately 15-20 mph. The speed limit on South Columbia Street is 35 mph. The Rev. Bob Duncan of The Chapel of the Cross, who was with Ihnen's family at the time of his death, said the University community has been very supportive. Duncan said several representatives of the University, including Donald Boulton, vi"e chancellor for student affairs, visited Ihnen's family Thursday. Many of Ihnen's friends requested that a memorial service be held at the University. Ihnen was a member of the Chi Psi fraternity. Memorial services for Ihnen will be held at The Chapel of the Cross today at 4 p.m. Music will begin before the service at 3:30. Four of Ihnen's Chi Psi brothers will lead the musical services. Several ot Ihnen's closest friends will speak at the service. "His friends and brothers at Chi Psi very much w anted to have a service here," he said. "A number of the brothers will also be performing some music before the service." Ihnen came to UNC as a junior transfer after attending both Appalachian State University, where he played football, and North Carolina State, where his father is a professor. One Chi Psi member said Ihnen pledged the fraternity last fall. Ihnen was a teaching assistant for a business law course at the University. This fall he served as the student representative on Chapel Hill's cable television advisory committee.

Although he knows firefighting can be dangerous, Whittington said he has no regrets about giving it so much of his time in the past and thinks he will always be dedicated to it. "It's a hazardous job for sure," he said. "But it's also a rewarding job." Whittington plans to go back to North Wilkesboro after he graduates.

By LINDA BROWN Staff Writer The Housing Advisory Board will begin discussion April 20 with dorm residents about the racial imbalance and racial distribution in University housing. Housing Advisory Board- chairperson Sharon Meginnis said recently. Based on estimated figures, the majority of black students here live in dorms on South Campus, housing department . administrative assistant Phyllis Graham said. The housing department assigns students to dorms based on their dorm preferences and tha vailability of housing When housing department members assign a student to a dorm, they have no knowledge of his race, she said. Board members met with a group of black students earlier this year to discuss with them their views on what determines segregated living style. Meginnis said the students disagreed about the issue. She said that some people believed a recommendation on the subject definitely needed to be made to the Department of University Housing because UNC should be a racially integrated campus. They contend, that now it is segregated. But she said other people would rather ignore the issue. "They feel that if that's the way 'icks want to do it mH if that's the way whites want to do it, then let it stay the same," she said. The Housing Advisory Board does not want to make any recommendation until it is sure of what students want, so it is planning to meet with dorm residents this spring and next fall in order to gauge student opinion, she said. The board's first meeting will be with the residents of H inton James at 7 p.m. April 20 in the James recreation room. "Because it is in James, we do not want it to suggest that it is for black or South Campus students. We realize we need to have one somewhere on North Campus and in Granville," she said. But because of exams, the board will probably not be able to have another session until the fall semester. "Eventually we will make some sort of recommendation and we want to make sure we have student input before we do that," she said. After the board forms its recommendation it will give it to Director of University Housing James Condie for approval. From there the proposal will go to Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Donald Boulton for final approval. No decisions have been made as to how students would be assigned to dorms if changes in dorm assignment procedures were proposed. Deadline for voter registration today Today is the last day to register to vote in the May 6 primary for county, state and national races. In Orange County, voters can register from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Chapel Hill Municipal Building at 306 N.

"The steps I have ordered today are those that are necessary now," he said. "Other actions may become necessary if these steps do not produce the prompt release of the hostages." As Carter left the room, a reporter asked him for his definition of "prompt." The president ignored the question. There was no indication of what "other actions" Carter was referring to, but it is known that among the options being considered is a naval blockade of Iran. As Carter was making his announcement. AH Agah, head of the Iranian delegation to the United States, was called to the State Department where he was told of the order ejecting the Iranians. Agah was obviously angry as he emerged from a meeting with officials from the department's Iran Desk. He told reporters: "Pm not going to stay here. They have to bring their notes to our embassy and we will abide accordingly." Agah said he was treated w ith disrespect and subjected to "bad language" by State Department officials. "We are not going to listen here and they start swearing and cursing us." he said. Shortly after the president's announcement, police closed busy Massachusetts Avenue in front of the Iranian Embassy "until further notice." today. Moves within the same dormitory do not require address changes. To report a new address a voter must go to a voter registrar at any of the three voter registration sites in the county and report the move.

Registered Orange County voters who will be out of town May 6 should write to the Orange County Board of Elections and request an application for an absentee ballot by April 18.
