Wednesday, March 2 5, 1981 The Daily Ter Hee!3 o , ' r SUff Writer V Eric f!unscn, fiCr.'H Genera! Director express opinion may be early to speculate on private hospital plans now In a 5-4 vote Monday night, the Chapel Hill Town Council approved the Univer sity's request for a special use permit to build an electric power substation on Ma son Farm Road near Finley Golf Course and the N.C. Botanical Garden. In other action, the council voted to accept the donation from local realtor Phil Rominger of 23 acres near Willow Drive to be used by the town for recrea tional development. The council also awarded $283,030 in contracts for con struction of a fire station on Airport Road. In approving the University's special use permit request for the substation site on Mason Farm Road, the Council acted against the recommendations of Town ' Manager Gene Shlpmin and the Planning Board. In his report to the council, Ship man said, "This proposed site is undesir able since ... it is located within a critical environmental area as designated on the Land Use Plan." Some council members objected to the appearance of the substation and power line within the residential commu nity and ecological preserves of the Bo tanical Garden. "This site is not in har mony with the general surroundings," said council member Joe Herzenberg, roe Mem 71 'ft i I t' 7! em 71 If ! )f - .By KEITH KING . : ' SJaff Writer Local business and. hospital officials have taken a wait-and-see stance toward plans for a private hospital to be built in Chapel Hill by a Nashville, Tenn .-based firm. David Ford, director for domestic de velopment of the Hospital Corporation of America, told Die Greater Chapel Hill Carrboro Chamber of Commerce last week that his company's real estate divi sion had located two or three likely sites for a 150-bed proprietary hospital in Chapel Hill. Chamber of Commerce president John Gastineau said a committee would be as signed to study the plans and make a recommendation to the full chamber. He said he did not know when the chamber's decision would be made, but he thought it should be out by fall. "Personally, I'd be interested in look ing at anything that would develop the tax base and create jobs," Gastineau said. North Carolina Memorial Hospital General Director Eric Munson said it might be premature to speculate, about the plans at this time. Ford told the chamber that HCA plans to file a letter of intent with the Capital Health Systems Agency in April, and 11 file a certificate of need with the same agency in mid-May. Capital Health Systems will then begin a review process which Ford said would start in June and end near September. - Jim Heavner, President of The Village Companies and an active Chamber of Commerce participant, said he believed the idea of a community hospital in Chapel Hill had been mentioned for the past 10-15 years. "I can't see any way the public would be anything but better off to have addi tional options and services," he said, Heavner also praised NCMH. "I feel very fortunate to live in Chapel H21 where we have this facility." Ford said if the plans are approved, the hospital project would: o contain 150 beds. employ a staff of 400-500 when in full operation. ' o cost about $15 million for equip ment and construction. possibly be financed by money from various U.S. and foreign sources. be completed in 30 months, possibly 14 or 15 months if the company has a good construction year. The 13-year-old HCA operates 191 hospitals worldwide including 177 in the U.S., three of which are in North Carolina. Cy ANDREA STEMPER ' Slafr Writer The Carolina Course Review, although temporarily discontinued, has not been cancelled; it is in transition, Ellen Starr, CCR co-chairman said Monday. Starr spoke at a forum on methods of student evaluation of professors spon- ' sored by the Campus Y Committee on Undergraduate Education. She explained that the CCR would not be published this spring because of financial problems and a lack of support. "There is a lack of support from all . sides. First, the instructor often does not. participate, and second, the student will riot fill out the form. We are hampered by a lack of manpower. We need a regu lar source of people," she said. The Committee sponsored the forum to discuss options for student evaluation and the fate of the CCR. Dr. Michael Salemi, faculty adviser to the course review, listed three objectives the CCR should meet: to serve as a means for the development of teaching skills, the evaluation of teachers by .senior faculty members, and the selec tion of courses. He said the review should meet pro fessional standards, with well-posed questions and elimination of statistical ranking. He added that a quick return of results should be expected so the faculty could improve their performance while it was still fresh in their minds. V ' Dr. Peter Filene of the history depart ment said that he did not gain much in formation from the numbers, but that ,;he did learn a lot from the comments. He said he believed all teachers should . be evaluated. - r - Scott Granowski, a student speaker at the forum, said that a variety of methods should be used to evaluate faculty mem- , ; bers to serve as a system of checks and balances. Among the methods that Gra nowski mentioned were self-evaluation and a combination of colleague, administrative and student evaluation. From page 1 FOF tllC feCOFCl It is very rare for those closely acquaint ed, such as roommates, spouses and un married couples to have mono at the same time because mono has a 50- to 60-day incubation period, Scott said.

Other council members said that in view of the University's need for elec tricity, the proposed area was the best . site for the substation. "It's a known fact that we're going to .need more electricity," said council member R.D. Smith. "It's better to bring the power lines through University-owned property than private property." Smith voted for the proposed site, along with Marilyn Boulton, Jonathon Howes, Jim Wallace and Mayor Joe Nassif . The official position of the N.C. Botanical Garden is supportive of the council's decision, said curator Charlotte Jones Roe. "There are a lot worse places that it could go. As it is, it's m the best possible place because that area has already been dis turbed," she said. The council unanimously passed a res olution accepting the 23-acre donation. ;The land, valued at about $155,000, is scheduled for recreational development. Jim Herstein, Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department administrative assistant, said the land, near Willow Drive and Ridgefield Road, will be used as part cf the town's 'Greenway Net work,' a system of connected parks and recreational facilities. "This is a plan where an individual will be theoretically able to travel from one recreation area to another on a non motorized vehicle," Herstein said. The council also unanimously passed a proposal awarding final construction contracts for a fire station to be built on Airport Road. The controversial Horace Williams airpoFt issue was also tackled at the ."council meeting. Council member Howes suggested a meeting between Mayor Nassif, University Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham and the Orange County. Commissioners to map out alternative . airport plans.
