Board approves proposed ban on animals
By MARX ANCONA
Staff Writer
After a discussion that lasted for more than two hours Tues
day night, the Orange County Board of Commissioners ap
proved one of eight parts of a proposal to ban from Orange
County all animals considered non-domestic.
The portion approved is a request for the North Carolina
General Assembly to consider more extensive legislation con
cerning undomesticated animals. And along with five other
parts to the proposal, the board delayed a decision on whether
to ban or to regulate the animals until the next meeting.
If a ban were passed by the board, animals used at the Uni
versity for laboratory and research work would be exempt.
Orange County Manager Kenneth Thompson, who prepared
the recommendation, said that a ban would be easier to ad
minister than any regulatory proposal.
"These animals have the propensity to be dangerous,"
Thompson said. "Danger exists when wild animals are in cap
tivity. The risk to the public would be entirely eliminated if a
ban were enforced.
"With regulation we would have to train personnel for in
spection purposes, and it would cost money to administer all
phases of a regulatory plan. We would have to employ inspec
tors, animal controllers and have some clerical assistance and
some administrative time spent on regulation."
William Sheffield, an attorney from Durham, said that the
report makes the issue more complicated than it really is. Shef
field represents an owner of wild animals in Chatham County
and said he would like to see regulatory action taken.
"I see three choices," Sheffield said. "You can regulate
across the board or you can prohibit some animals the large
and apparently dangerous animals or you can enforce an out
and out ban on non-domesticated animals."
Sheffield suggested that the board prohibit the importation
of these types of animals into Orange County until a feasible
solution could be agreed upon.
Tim Greene, a Chapel Hill resident who owns two leopards
and two tigers, said that problems could arise if a ban were en
forced. "If you're not careful with a ban, you're going to drive a lot
of owners underground and you will have problems that you
have never seen before," Greene said. "Regulations are easier
to deal with than a ban."
Lori Stephenson, a Chapel Hill resident who lives a quarter
of a mile from Greene's property, said that a ban was the only
alternative open to the board of commissioners.
"A small percentage of our population owns these animals,"
Stephenson said. "Why should taxpayers pay money to regulate
these animals? Why should we let a privileged, elite group keep
these animals when there is a chance that these animals can
escape?" .
Sheffield said that many supporters of the ban have unwar
ranted fears.
"It's not your (the commissioners) job to alleviate all the fear
within the county," he said. "You must alleviate only the rea
sonable fear. Some people are afraid without a reasonable
basis."
The board also voted on whether or not to require the
animals to be registered. This part of the proposal was not pass
ed, because a unanimous decision was not reached. The dis
senting vote was cast by commissioner Shirley Marshall.
"People are not going to register their animals until they
know what we are going to do as far as banning or regulating,"
Marshall said.
In other action, the board refused a request for changes in the
special use permit granted in September to build Midway Air
port. The airport is being built to replace Horace Williams Airport.
John Northern, the attorney representing Buck Mountain
Development Company which is constructing the airport, pre
sented a letter to the board requesting a change in the building
permit. Northern requested the following changes: decreasing
the required length of the approach-departure zone from 5,000
feet to 1,100-1,500 feet; allowing for a greater number of ac
cessory uses such as a snack bar, a restaurant and a sales office;
deletion of a required access road to the airport; deletion of a
requirement that limits flight training to half the total opera
tions at the airport.
The board will address these requests at a public hearing to be
held by the commissioners in March.
Town board to act on apartment construction
By KATHERINE FARLEY
Staff Writer
Tomorrow night the Chapel Hill Hous
ing Authority will meet to authorize execu
tion of the contract with the low bidder for
the construction of Oakwood Apartments
off North Greensboro Street in Carrboro.
Site, Inc., of Greensboro, gave the
lowest bid out of eight at $875,000. After
the Chapel Hill Housing Authority ap
proval, the contract will have to be approv
ed by the Department of Housing and Ur
' ban Development.
Lee C. Biggar, a development officer
from the housing authority, foresees no
problem about Site getting the bid. Their
duty is to give the bid to the "lowest
responsible bidder," he said. "Everything
looks proper and straight ahead. Their bid
is clean."
Site, Inc., is a well-known company 'in
North Carolina and has constructed
numerous complex with HUD assistance.
The company just completed community
development apartment complexes in Burl
ington and Greensboro.
Biggar said he thought Site, Inc. would
have no problem receiving approval from
HUD.
The construction company granted the
contract will have a nine-month construc
tion period. With allowances for the
possibility of hitting rock and for excess
bad weather, the 30-unit complex should
be completed by Feb. 1, 1984.
Mary J. McCallister, manager for Multi
Family Housing Programs, said there were
31$ people on the waiting list for public
housing. More people are eligible for
public housing than there is housing
available, Biggar said. .
The Chapel Hill Housing Authority will
require 80 percent of the families living in
the complex to have an income that is less
than 50 percent of the median income for
Chapel Hill.
Biggar said that the housing authority
has money allocated for the construction
of two more low-income complexes in
Chapel Hill. One complex, to be located at
Church and Caldwell streets will have 52
units and will be rented to the elderly. The
second complex, to be located on Piney
Mountain and Eastwood roads, will have
32 units and will be rented to families, he
said.
Bids for the construction of these two
complexes will be taken in about four mon
ths, Biggar said. Theoretically, students
can live in these complexes if they meet the
requirements for family and income, Mc
Callister said. However, because of the
long wait, students probably will have
graduated by the time their names come up
on the list, she said.

IFC seeks to integrate
the fraternity system
By STUART TONKINSON
Staff Writer
"Fraternities at UNC . . . building the in
dividual." This is the motto of the Inter
fraternity Council, the organization made
up of representatives from each of the 28
fraternities. The IFC is responsible for en
suring that the fraternity experience at UNC
is a helpful one.
The IFC, under the leadership of 1982-83
president Brian Hunnicutt, is seeking to in
tegrate the fraternity system in a number of
ways.
"We start introducing pledges to the
fraternities with the pledge convocation,"
said Steve Hutson, assistant dean for frater
nity affairs. "There, the pledges and their
pledge educators are able to meet the of
ficers of the IFC."
Hunnicutt said the organization tried "to
describe to the pledges what it means to be
in a fraternity, what responsibilities come
with being in a fraternity, and what the haz
ing policy of the University is."
The convocation helps the new pledges
realize that they are really part of a much
larger system; they are part of the whole
fraternity network, Hutson said.
During the IFCs organizational meeting
Tuesday, the new officers were introduced
to the council. They are:
Art Shepard, public relations assistant
from Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, who will
work on the IFC-Panhellenic Council
newspaper, The Carolina Creek, which will
cover activities of fraternities and sororities.
Billy Hobbs, membership development
assistant from Sigma Nu fraternity, is in
charge of the Pledge Convocation, and he is
also putting together a manual explaining
the rush process.
Kevin Jones, minority affairs assistant
from Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, will try to
)
I Brian Hunnicutt
coordinate affairs between black and white
fraternities by involving the new pledge class
in service activities.
Keith Pitts, fraternity affairs assistant
from Sigma Chi fraternity, is responsible for
making fraternities aware of alcohol-related
problems.
In addition, Jeff Bye, from Sigma Nu
fraternity; will serve as executive vice presi
dent; and Thomas Kepley, from Kappa
Alpha fraternity, will be administrative vice
president.
All IFC officers will attend the
Southeastern IFC Leadership Conference
Feb. 18-20, in order to make the IFC more
effective, Hunnicutt said.
