over larger occupancy

About 15 to 20 UNC students
gathered in the parking lot behind
Cobb Residence Hall Friday after
noon to publicly express their disap
proval of increased occupancy in the
residence halls.
Waving banners reading, 44 Don't
Crowd Our Education" and 44We
Need Room To Breathe," the
students aired their views before
VVRAL-TV and WQDR news teams.
Lack of privacy, space and ac
cessibility to bathrooms have been
among the many reasons students
have protested increased occupancy.
MisChella McKoy, a Cobb resident,
said she was opposed to her room be
ing tripled because of its size.
"Three people cannot live in that
room," she said. McKoy said she
could not understand why the Univer
sity had not anticipated the need for
more housing and made plans for a
new residence hall sooner instead of
building the new library and the stu
dent activities center.
"They can build libraries and gyms
but then they have no room to occupy
the people when they get here," she
said.
Kellie McManus, from Connor,
said she did not understand why the
students had no part in the decision.
"We pay for the rooms, but we have
no choice in the matter," she said.
Cheryl Hales, a Mclver resident,
also was upset that the Department of
Housing would not listen to the
students point of view. "They won't
listen to any of our suggestions,"
Hales said. "They just pat us on our
heads and don't do a thing about it."
Jody Harpster, associate director of
housing for student life, said the stu
dent in the tripled and quadrupled
rooms would save about $75 per
semester. Though each room would
have more occupants, he said, would
create even more space.
Harpster said this plan will keep 220
more students on campus than last
year and bring back some who were
closed out.
Hales did not agree. "I've talked to
people closed out since their freshman
year and they'd rather go through all
the hassles of an apartment than to
come back into a triple," she said.
Student Body President Scott
Norberg said he hoped the administra
tion would be open-minded about the
situation. 44 1 see that we need to house
more people on campus," he said,
4 4 but I think they need more time to
make such a major decision.".
Norberg said students' views needed
to be looked at and studied better.
"They need to include student par
ticipation in their decisions," he said.

UNC housing officials meet with residents
y By CHERYL ANDERSON
DTH Starr Writer
Housing officials met Thursday night for two and
a half hours with residents of STOW Residence Col
lege. They said attempts to increase the occupancy of
220 rooms were honest efforts to ensure more on
campus housing and to help students to better deal
with the economic situation of higher prices and in
creasing financial aid cuts.
Jody Harpster, associate director for residence life,
in citing the University's intentions of the new policy
said the Department of Housing felt it was important
to take the "most positive steps that we could" to
confront the issue of more students being closed out.
4 4 With the new policy, 50 percent to 80 percent of
those closed out are not going to be back in (on cam
pus) but some of them are," he said.
Some students said they felt the University had re
sorted to the new policy because it was accepting
more freshmen than it had room enough to receive
and maybe the University could reduce the number
for next year.
But Harpster told the crowd of about 65 that the
University was not accepting more than last year's
goal, which was set by the General Administration of
the UNC system.
Donald Boulton, acting housing director, said be
cause of serious cuts in financial aid. some of the
3,200 freshmen that will be accepted for the fall will
have to refuse the offer to attend the University. "We
may also have fewer junior transfers," he said.
And in response to accusations from some resi
dents that the department of housing was not honest
and considerate of potential problems that may arise
from tripling and quadrupling, Associate Vice Chan
cellor for Student Affairs James Cansler cited a
6-year-old study conducted by the Chapel Hill De
partment of City and Regional Planning. The study
concluded that Chapel Hill had a "severe housing
shortage, particularly at the lower income level."
Following that study, the University and Carrboro
conducted similar studies and ended up with similar
results. Much of the blame for the shortage was plac
ed on the University for not housing more students,
he said. At the time, the University had decided that
it would be "economically unfeasible" to build
apartments for additional student housing.
Cansler said many students could not afford to
rent apartments and the University has decided to
build a new residence hall, which will house about
480 people.
He said that rent for the new residence hall would
be higher than other halls and other areas would have
an increase in rent. "For some to be able to attend
(the University) at $160 less, it will solve most of the
problem," he said, referring to the 20 percent rent
reduction that will accompany some of the occupancy
increased rooms.
Boulton said he thought students would welcome
the idea of housing more students and although he
felt the Department of Housing was reacting to the
need "almost too late."
Parking violators to w trealSii

Towing ... that one word can strike ter
ror in the hearts of any Chapel Hill or
Carrboro motorist aware of the high
probability of getting one's car towed (at
owner's expense) on any given day.
Actually, towing is not some trick
played on drivers by a cruel, merciless
tow-god. There are specific rules and
reasons which place restrictions on tow
ing. Cars are towed for three major
reasons disability, illegal parking in
public places and illegal parking in
private places.
. Disability towing occurs when a car
breaks down and has to be towed to a
garage to be reparied. The owner of the
car pays all fees involved. If his car is
towed to the garage which operates the
tow truck for repairs, the charge is
sometimes less. -
When cars are towed for being illegal
parked in public places, like streets mark
ed with "No Parking" signs, the Chapel
Hill Police work with tow truck owners.
The police department has contracts
with several tow-truck owners, and it uses
a. rotating method to assign truck owners
to tow away illegally parked cars in public
places.
- Again, car owners must pay all ex
penses, which are usually about $15-$35
depending on distance towed and time of
day, plus about $10 for dollying (placing
a car with a locked steering wheet on a
trailer). Included in this cost is a storage
and release fee of about $3 which goes to
the police, said C.H. McFarling," owner is the proper marking of the signs."
of one of the wrecker trucks which the
police uses.
The third type of towing, can be in
stigated by any private property owner as
long as' she or he follows certain
guidelines set out in state law.
44 Anyone who owns property, as long
as it is properly marked, can have a car
towed off tjiat property,", said Ben
Callahan, administrative assistant for the
Chapel Hill Police Department. "The key
The law puts three provisions on the
ability of property owners to tow cars
from their property, said Dottie Ber
nholz, director of Student Legal Services.
There must be a sign at least 24 inches by
24 inches prominently displayed at the en
trance to the property. The spaces also
must be clearly marked with the name of
each individual or owner, and the parking
space owner or leasee must make a writ
ten request to have a car towed, she said.

An eight-page independent publication
with a conservative view on timely issues,
will be distributed on campus Tuesday of
fering students an alternative to what
Editor Ray Warren calls "the student
funded groups controlled by leftists."
The Carolina Free Press is the brain
child of Warren, a second-year law stu
dent who said he considered UNC and
Orange County to be the most liberal
place in North Carolina.
The Free Press will not solicit official
funds from the University to run the
paper, but will rely on contributions from
Republicans, conservative Democrats
and students, and will be distributed free,
Warren said.
The paper initially will publish 5,000
copies to be distributed around the cam
pus and will try to reach their goal of pro
ducing a weekly paper within the first
month, he said. '
"Students do not necessarily enter
UNC with a liberal orientation," Warren
said. "Professors, subsidized student
newspapers, and student-funded pressure
groups (like George McGovern's 'Ameri
cans for Common Sense') all preach the
liberal message."
Warren and Associate Editor Richard
Kania decided there was no opportunity
to express the conservative view, and
began the Carolina Free Press.
Both Warren and Kania openly oppose
the money the student newspapers receive
from Student Government each year.
Kania is the plaintiff in a federal law suit
(Kania vs Fordham) to halt the use of stu
dent fees by The Daily Tar Heel.
Kania said conservatives at UNC had
been denied access to the student news
paper's editorial page. Their letters to the
editor were often not printed.
The paper will strive to be somewhere
between the format of the DTH and the
magazine format of The Phoenix, but
will not be purely a political paper, War
ren said.
"We won't try to beat the DTH in
breaking news. We'll try to be more of an
event-centered paper," he said.
ICing's birthday observed
with speech at area event
By LAURIE BRADS HER
DTH Staff Writer
Prezell Robinson, president of St.
Augustine's College in Raleigh, called
Martin Luther King's ideas "a dream
deferred" and said the greatest burden on
America is excellence at all levels.
Robinson's remarks were jnade at the
Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebra
tion Thursday night. The celebration was
the third held on campus this year to
commemorate the late civil rights leader's
birthday.
"Martin Luther King was a saint in his
own time; a prince of a man," Robinson
said. "This man was the mirror of the
conscience of America."
Education, Robinson said, is what is
needed to unite a society in fragments.
"It pains me very, very much to see our
nation cut back from what I consider our
. first line of defense: education.
"Books always should be our compa
nions, as they were the intimate compa
nions of Martin Luther King," Robinson
said.
"The truth is that for Black' America,
education islstjbl..tbe!BestTand most viable
vehicle," Robinson said. King, he said,
believed education not a "pouring in pro
cess, not filling a quart jar full of goodies
and leaving it on the shelf. It is a seizure
of opportunity."
Robinson praised the coming campus
elections, saying that young people
should get involved "wherever decisions
are made that affect people."
Robinson has been president of St.
Augustine's since 1966. He also serves as
President of the United Negro College
Fund and is a member of the board of
directors of the Council for Advancement
of Small Colleges. Robinson, who receiv
ed his master's degree and doctorate from
Cornell University, has received many
honorary degrees.
About 100 people were present at the
celebration, sponsored by the Martin
Luther King Planning Committee and the
Office of University Affairs at Chapel
Hill. Wende Watson interim chairperson
of the Black Student Movement, an
nounced the beginning of the drive for
the Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship
Fund. The scholarship will be set up to go
to the junior who has shown a commit
ment to civil rights in efforts to improve
University life.
Planning commission-member Yvette
Satterwhite said the group hqued to raise

C. For'dham III had made theTirst dona
