Wednesday, February 18, 931 Th.3 Dc !y Ter Heel 3 i j0tl' i- -f Sh "T. D JONATHAN SMYLIE Staff Writer The walkway between the yndergraduate and Wilson libraries recently has resembled the aftermath of a bomb explosion. That big hole and scattered dirt is the result of work started Monday to repair a leak in the new. air conditioning pipeline. "Leaks of this kind are to be expected," said Edward Short, an engineer consultant in the University's engi , neering and construction office. "Since the line's com pletion, this is only the third leak to occur," he said. The problem was first noticed more than a week ago when the brick walk started caving in and a broad sink ing indention began growing between the libraries. Short said the high water-pressure tests conducted on the pipe caused the leak which created the cave-in. "Tests of this sort are standard procedure after instal lation," he said. The pipeline is the first phase of a three-phase project designed to centralize the campus' chilled water air conditioning system. The pipe stretches some 2,120 feet from the chilled water plant at the back of the Bell Tower parking lot, past Dey Hall to the new wing of the Carolina Union. It consists of two pipes, 24 and 30 inches in diameter, with more than 140 joints in the line. Short said it had held up extremely well throughout the leak tests. Testing the pipe is, done by applying 150 pounds of water pressure per square foot of the line. If there were any potential cracks, this above-normal pressure would have caused the pipe to leak, engineering officials said. The tests were run so that all defective joints could be repaired before the line was put into use. When operating later this spring the normal water pressure would be less than 100 pounds per square foot "We expect this leak is from a crack in one of the rubber gaskets used in sealing the bell-type joints," Short said. Repairing the problem would simply be a matter of tightening the leaking joint, he said. How ever, he said it would be difficult to get to the pipe. With the first phase ahead of completion schedule, the total project is slated to be finished by early -September. In the second phase another pipe will be installed from Dey Hall to the new art building. The last phase would be the enlargement of the chilled water plant itself . According to the engineering office, the centralized system is designed to cut down the diversity of temper atures between buildings. It also has some favorable cost advantages. Officials said there won't be any need to replace worn-out in-house refrigerator machines or put 9 I H U U M U DfHJay Hynian Workers repair lasky pipeline ... ground near libraries caved in new units in future buildings. . Short said the repair costs for the new leak would fall on the contractor, not UNC, because, "We are buying a finished product and any problems encoun tered before its completion are the responsibility of the contractor," The crater between the libraries should be gone in a little more than a week if the weather continues to be good, he said. Applications' ave available for the Delta Delta Delta service projects scholarship. All full-time undergraduate. women, Greek or non-Greek, are eligible for the scholarship competition. The , recipient of the local scholarship is automatically eligible for one of the national Zoe Gore Perrin awards of $1,000. The scholarship competition is judged on the basis of academic record, contri bution to campus or community life,, service in the student's major field of study and financial need. Applications are available at the Delta Delta Delta House at 407 E. Franklin St. or from Dale Carlson at 967-5267. Completed applications must be returned on or before Feb. 25: Since 1943, Delta Delta Delta has awarded more than $1,034,165 to 5,316 students. In 1980, approximately 38 per cent of the scholarships were awarded to non-sorority students, 36 percent to Delta Delta Delta members and 26 percent to other Panhellenic members. v. mKf Stija Hii M .H' te. 1 j Ski 1S T3i3 Fleming Center has been here for you eince 1974... providing private, understanding health care to TfTomen of all aes... at a reasonable cost. m0mm&& muiL& frn.

CfcdlTOl-CSCOiaXlalricsTtizia.'- Dy MELODEE ALVES Staff Writer Larry Ellis was named the new presi dent of the Carolina Union Monday night by the Union Board of Directors. Ellis, a sophomore philosophy-English major from Skillman, N.J., was selected from four finalists. "I wasn't shocked but I was surprised," Ellis said. "I knew I was qualified, so it , wasn't like it was out of the blue." Although Ellis doesn't officially take over the board until April, he said the transition would begin immediately with the selection of new members to the activities board and preparation of union activities. "I want to work with training people in programming and interaction with the permanent Union staff," he said. Ellis said he would like to see Union programming broaden to include a variety of community interests and to : apply this diversity to specific categories such as films and forum speakers. He said he also would stress communication among members of the Union board. DTHJay Hynwr Larry Ellis . "I am looking for a board in which people at all levels are willing to interact, to approach conflict and to initiate activ ities for quality programming," he said. Ellis' duties for the corning year will include overseeing the Union activities board by coordinating programming, serving as official spokesperson and rep resentative for the Union at all campus functions and organizations, and acting as a liaison between the activities board and the Union Board of Directors as chairperson of the Board of Directors. "I intend to maintain the quality pro gramming that has been exhibited this year and to stress interaction and personal growth of Union members at all levels, from committee members to chairpersons," Ellis said. rape From page.1 it seizure ds workman to hospital A construction worker for the new library project was taken to North Carolina Memorial Hospital Tuesday and later re leased after suffering from a seizure, hospital officials said. Mark Bailey, a carpenter on the new library construction crew, was lowered by crane to an ambulance after collapsing at work.

Clyde Jones, a member of the respond ing emergency team, said Bailey was con scious and stable when placed in the am bulance. JON ATHAN SMYLIE raped on a date," she said. "But the bottom line in rape is that the woman is out of control. She is powerless." Since women usually are not well-trained in self-defense, Colm said they may feel threaten ed by the possibility of a late-night assault by a stranger. For this reason, Colm said services like UNC's Rape -and Assault . Prevention Escort, staffed by about 250 male student escorts from Olde Campus were heloful. - (R.A.P.E. escorts are available 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays by calling 933-7602.) When a woman is rapedwhether by some one she knows or by an unidentified assailant, she has several options for receiving help. - If a formal report to the police is going to be made, the victim should report to a hospital within 72 hours, so the attack can be verified. But Colm urged all women who are raped not to hesitate to go to the hospital for assistance and treatment, because hospitals, like police, have become increasingly aware of the special needs of rape victims.
