0 Wednesday, March 24, 1982The Daily Tar Heel3 Parcourse CAA plans to repair deteriorated fitness trail By MARY EVANS Surf Writer , The Parcourse fitness trail, established in 1979, currently is not in use because of the deterioration of several of the fitness stations. "Because of poor maintenance, water has collected in several areas and has caused the ground to sink," said Perry Morrison, Carolina Athletic Association president. "The land on which the trail is located has both hills and lowlands, and this has created drainage problems. Several areas have really unsafe footings," said CAA member Martin Pomerantz. UNC Physical Plant Director Claude E. Swecker said someone would examine the course soon. "We've been told that the trail has some problems with grading and washed out areas, but we won't know what re pairs will entail until we actually get out there and look at it," he said. The fitness trail is near the old varsity tennis courts and has 18 different fitness stations over a two-mile jogging course. The course includes facilities for sit-ups, pull-ups and heart rate checks, and is open for use to the general public, Mor- Scholarship offered Applications for the Freshman Woman's Scholarship sponsored by the Panhellenic Council are now available at the Department of Student life in Steele Building, and at the Carolina Union desk. All freshman women are eligible to apply for the scholarship, which will cover one semester's in-state tuition, and will be applied . to the recipient's fall 1982 account. The scholarship is based on ambition and potential for achievement, scholastic success and involvement in campus and community activities. Financial need also will be con sidered. ' Completed applications must be turned in by March 31 to the Department of Student Life. rison said. The Parcourse trail was begun in 1979 by a bill backed by former Student Body President J.B. Kelly. The land for the course was purchased for $6,000. This money did not provide for labor to build the course, said Joe Buckner, who has worked with the Parcourse. The fitness trail has deteriorated since its completion because no one is responsi ble for its maintenance, Morrison said. Kelly said, "When the Parcourse was first discussed, it was Student Govern ment's impression that the P.E. depart ment thought it was a good project and they would help maintain the course be cause they could use it in the P.E. pro grams." He said it was understood that part of the upkeep would come from stu dent athletic and intramural fees. "Although this agreement was never formalized, we thought that maintenance would be provided, and for this reason no plans for funding future upkeep were made by the CGC," he said. Kelly said some of the problems with maintenance were caused by transition between Student Government s. The CAA has began looking into various possibilities for repairing the Par course.

Keligious political right criticise By SCOTT BOLEJACK Staff Writer The new religious political right seeks to unite America without unify ing Americans, Professor Sam Hill said in a lecture Sunday night. Hill, chairman of the . religion department at the University of Florida and author of The South and the North - in American Religion, spoke to a crowd of about 70 people in Hamilton Hall as part of the . 1982 Carolina Symposium, titled "America in Pieces." "The NRPR (the new religious political right) years for order, con formity, norms and the right - for moral roots," Hill said. "They do not acknowledge the validity of alternative viewpoints; they seek rectitude in place of justice, ' 'They want to unify us in a political ideology founded within a religious . ideology and tEat is simply knee-jerk conservatism non-negotiability." Hill said the new religious political : right sought a return to the days of the "state church." He argued that the pluralism of present American culture could not accommodate the philosophy. "American Protestantism has evolved from a theocracy to a weaken ed theocracy to a market place," Hill said. "To the NRPR this market place means anarchy and disunity' 'They want to unify us in a political ideology founded within a reli gious ideology and that is simply knee-jerk con servatism non-negotiability.' For any religious group to enter the public realm, Hill said, it "must see all of America and not just the issues the NRPR has singled out." He listed among those issues the nuclear family, abortion and pornography. Although the new religious political right seeks to make itself the public church, Hill said, it is not qualified for -the Job. The movement desires to create a "hermetically sealed society" and its tendency toward a totalitarian structure makes h undeservable of the role, he said, v Hill said most people supporting the new religious political right were not religiously affiliated and he defended other branches of the evangelical movement which he said were too often lumped together with the NRPR. "S6me who are not associated with the NRPR are the social radicals of the evangelical movement those peo ple who are very concerned about such issues as poverty and war," he said. "Another group are the evange licals who want to influence in fluence, not organize American life. The people who organize the Washington for Jesus rallies members of this group." are m r 0K Coma, sea our s Everyday f Low Price on .Soft Contact Lenses $69.95 ! Visits.
