Automated tetters to be put in

Four local banks should have their 24-hour
automated banking machines installed in a central
facility on campus by the latter part of January
1982, Said Charles Antle, UNC Associate Vice
Chancellor for Business,
The banks Central Carolina Bank, First Union
National BankNorth Carolina National Bank and
Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. signed lease ar
rangements with the University last Week. As soon
as all of the banks have received permission from
state and federal currency offices and have notified
the banks in writing, construction will begin.
The building housing the banks automated teller
machines will be adjacent to the Student Stores at
the bottom of the steps between the Student Stores
and the Carolina Union. It will have room for four
ATMs and a service corridor.
Planning began about 18 months ago. "The
banks came to us," Antle said. "They saw it as a
service primarily to the students so they wouldn't
have to go uptown to bank. Another reason, he
said, was that the bank machines uptown, which
all but First Union have, are used quite heavily.
NCNB's and Wachovia's ATMs are the most used
in the state. "I think they'd like to spread out their
business a little bit," Antle said.
Also, a lot of visitors come on campus for sports
events, concerts and plays, and the ATMs would
be easily accessible to them. The machines would .
also be good advertising for the banks.
There are a few conditions in the agreement be
tween the banks and the University. The banks will
pay the costs of construction and an annual rent to
the University for utility costs.
The University will be responsible for building
maintenance, such as heat, air conditioning or any
painting that needs to be done. It will also be re
sponsible for housekeeping both inside and outside
the building, Antle said. The banks are totally re
sponsible for the security and equipment of the
machines, and for transporting the money between
the ATM and the bank.
Establishing "an ATM is just like putting in a
branch bank," Antle said, which is why the banks
have to get special permission. CCB only needs
state approval because it is a state bank. David
Kimball, with CCB, said if they had to put in their
machine within a few weeks, they would have no
problem.
The other three banks are federal banks, so they
have to get permission from the U.S. Comptroller
of the Currency. Both First Union and Wachovia,
have already received permission, and NCNB should
. receive an answer within 30 days.

Bloodshot eyes
could be sign
of 'punk eye9
By DAVID ROME

Punk rockers beware. From the dorm
rooms of Morrison to the dance floors of
the Station and Cat's Cradle comes a new
disease that is causing concern among
new wave enthusiasts, bent on pogoing to
the music of the B-52s or Devo.
Doctors have found that pogoing may
lead, to a new ailment, subconjunctival
hemorrhaging, commonly referred to as
"punk eye."
Punk eye, which can afflict the occa
sional pogo dancer, as well as the hard
core punk rocker, is believed to be caused
by the repeated up-and-down jumping
associated with new wave dancing. Blood
shot eyes is the primary symptom of the
disease. .
1 Dr. James McCutchan, clinical section
director for the UNC Student Health Ser
vice, said there had been no reports of
subconjunctival hemorrhaging caused
specifically by new wave dancing in Cha- .
Students may he out
of luck
jobs scarce thm year
The eyes have it when partying punks pogo the night away
... urban-cowboys and disco dancers have problems, too
pel Hill. But he said subconjunctival
hemorrhaging can be caused by other
things, including drinking too much beer.
McCutchan said that pogoing could be
hazardous, but added that other physical
activities like football and tennis were as,
if not more, dangerous.
McCutchan emphasized that the 'sus
ceptible pogo dancer should weigh the.
risks of punk eye with the benefits of
dancing.
"If you don't play tennis, you won't
get tennis elbow," he said. Punk eye and
tennis elbow are similar because they are
relatively new names for old physical
problems, he said.
He stressed 1 that he was riot telling peo
ple how they should or should not exer
cise. "The motive for doing exercise has
nothing to do with medicine," he said.
McCutchan noted that punk eye should
not be confused with pink eye or conjunc
tivitis, a virus in the eye.
Bob Simpson of Bullet-Proof Records
on East Franklin Street said he had no
ticed the effects of punk eye in some of
the store's customers. "They may wear
those sunglasses to cover up their diseased
eyes," he said.
Punk eye is just one member of a grow
ing family of socially-inspired ailments.
'Science Digest magazine says disco dan
cing and mechanical bull riding can be
equally hazardous. '
Disco dancing has created "disco felon,"
: a fingertip infection caused by steady and
excessive finger snapping. Mechanical
bulls have resulted in a disease called "urban-cowboy
rhabdomyolysis," brought
on by strenuous bouncing during the ride
and falling off.

University students wishing to obtain
part-time employment in the Chapel Hill
area to help defray escalating expenses
may have to explore alternative resources
this year.
Most part-time positions in Chapel Hill
already are filled, according to a recent sur
vey of area businesses, wifhTew additional
hirings expected. Stores in the area often .
employ students who previously have had
jobs in their hometowns, and according
to Edward Lowdermilk, manager of Revco
on Franklin Street, 90 percent of his em
ployees are college students. However, all
the part-time positions at the store have,
been filled.
A random survey of merchants on
Franklin Street showed that the availability
of part-time openings was extremely lim
ited. Many positions- were filled during
the early summer months, and those
openings still available are expected to be
taken within the first two weeks of classes.
Eleanor Morris, director of student aid
at UNC, said the work study program at
the University had not been significantly
damaged due to the federal government's
spending cuts.. "Funding from Congress
' on the work-study program will remain at
; a constant level for the next three years,"
'Morris said. However she pointed to the
significant fact that the demand for jobs.
hin the program had increased sharply.-
1 Another reason for the shortage oT jobs
is this year's lack of funds from North
Carolina's Insured Student Loan Pro
gram. Loan demands are up 81 percent
from last year, resulting in a deluge of
students seeking part-time employment,
employment which does not exist.
