10The Tar Heel Thursday, May 29, Office .of - internatioiial Programs offers -students a chance-to study at By TONI SHIPMAN Staff Writer The Office of International Pro grams offers several programs which give UNC students the opportunity to study in countries all over the world. 01 P gives students the chance to earn credit hours or fulfill class perspectives while studying abroad, usually for one academic year. Students who want to study in other countries during the summer can enroll in any of the study-travel programs provided through the UNC Extension and Continuing Education office. Darryl Gless. associate director and the study aboard officer of 01 P. said Friday. "1 think what distinguishes UNC Penalties for parking enforced for summer By JO FLEISCHER Co-Editor All parking regulations are enforced during both summer sessions except during registra tion, on weekends and after 5 p.m. Students can still buy parking stickers for some lots, although most of the lots near campus have already been sold-out, said Mary Fox, the campus parking control coordinator. "Parking enforcement doesn't have to be as high a priority during the summer because there are fewer people here, and fewer violators so the demands on the system are not as great," Fox said. The lots on Stadium Drive, Craige and most of those near campus have been nearly sold out, said Mary Clayton, the traffic HE'S NOT HERE presents CREAM OF SOUL Saturday, May 31st, 9:00 pm Performing the best Rock fn Soul of the 60's and70's Don't forget about our Tuesday Draft Special HE'S NOT HERE Village Green behind Pizza Hut 1986 programs from others (those offered by commercial organizations or other universities) is that ours tend to give students the best return for their money.'' Gless said. "That is. our students are fully integrated with the university students at the schools to which they go. So it's not a special program set up for Americans who study in a separate way from their contemporaries in Europe or Asia. "Moreover, they don't have to pay that enormous extra fee that goes with participating in commerical programs."

Students may apply for hardship permits if they need a space near campus, but. the cases are heard only on a case by case basis, since there is no formal procedure in the summer, she said. Although students may park in lots normally requiring stickers on the weekends, and when school is not in session, that is not a blanket policy of non enforcement at these times, Clay ton said. Campus police will still ticket and even tow cars that are obstructing traffic, in fire lanes, or parked in any undesignated areas. There are still stickers available for some lots, and they may be purchased at the traffic office for $9 or $13.50 per session. mniversiMes around "Mostly. I didn't learn much about Spanish and language but about learning how to survive in a different kind of culture when you're the oddball around." Lalik said. "I would recommend that eve ryone make every effort to go," she said. "However, I think the best advice is not to hang around other Americans because youH be around them the rest of your life. You have to make the effort to really go out and meet people." The OIP has programs in univer sities in Europe and Asia. German universities offer two programs through OIP, one in Gottingen, the other in Dusseldorf. English univer sities also have programs at the Automakers favor From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON The auto makers are spending $30 million in a whirlwind of lobbying for enact ment of seat belt laws by state legislatures. But critics say their real goal is to block a controversial federal requirement that would put air bags or passive belts in all cars by 1990. The auto companies got interested in seat belt laws after the federal government made it clear that the alternative would be mandatory installation of air bags or automatic belts costly features which could inhibit car sales. Before the automakers joined the crusade, highway safety advocates had struggled for more than a decade in one state capital after another and without success to get laws passed requiring motor ists to buckle up. Now seat belt advocates are finding little trouble getting funds to argue their case.

Several new programs are also being introduced this year. One offers cultural and educational studies at Tubigen University, one of the oldest and most distinguished schools in Germany. Other new programs include the University of Nanzan in Japan, the University of Siena in Italy, Beijing University in China, and an exchange program with the a university in Brazil. OIP also oversees two programs administered by the-Department of Romance Languages, entitled Jun ior Programs Aboard. They include Columbia have enacted laws requir ing the use of automobile safety belts, although in 10 states the laws have yet to go into effect. According to the National High way Traffic Safety Administration, 68.5 percent of the population is covered by some kind of a seat belt use law since the enactment of laws in Tennessee, Kansas and Maryland in the past month. - The watershed came in the summer of .1984 when the Transpor tation Secretary, Elizabeth Dole, ordered the automakers to begin phasing in either automatic seatbelts or airbags with all new cars to be covered by the fall of 1989. But Dole provided an escape hatch: if states with two-thirds of the population enact seat belt laws, the federal requirement would be rescinded automatically. That shifted the focus of the air bag controversy to the states and has led to the intense lobbying for such laws by the automakers during the past two years, air bag advocates AND SEAFOOD RESTAURANT Welcome Back! in Szechuan, Hunam & Peking Cuisine.

"It's very competitive to get into our overseas programs," Gless said. "For instance, British universities want you to at least have a 3.0 GPA, although they prefer it to be much higher." Gless also stresses that applicants should have a good background in the native language of the country in which they intend to study, especially if it is Japan or Germany. "We specify four semesters of college German, as required, but most successful applicants' have more than that," Gless said. The programs in England are the See TRAVEL page 20 seat belts say. The insurance industry welcomes these laws but argues many of them are weak and are not being enforced. Some states such as Minnesota have no penalty or very low fines. In 16 states, the police may not stop a motorist for a seat belt violation unless some other offense is sus pected. All states allow some exemp tions even salesmen and mechan ics in the case of Tennessee. Some of the laws are little more than "a sham" designed to avoid the federal passive restraint require ment, complains Sen. John Dan forth, R-Mo., an advocate of the air bag. But supporters say that even if some of the laws are weak, they have prompted more people to use seat belts. Belt use in states that have enacted laws has risen sharply, although it has tended to decline after the law has been in effect for some months.
