The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, April 9, 19873 TO)' l&miiniMff IboMdl Fecominnieeds woinmeirfs ceotar Felootiioini Dy LEIGH ANN MCDONALD Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Planning Board decided Tuesday night to recom mend that the Town Council adopt a proposal allowing the Orange County Women's Center to relocate at 210 Henderson St. In a 5-3 vote, the board approved the rezoning of the house, located in the historic district, from residen tial to office institutional zoning. The board also approved a special use permit allowing the house to be used as the facility for the Women's Center. The board members who voted VoluritsGirs electrocardiogram lab. He has also spent time doing clerical work. This semester he averages about 10 volunteer hours a week at the hospital three or four hours in the emergency room, and the rest doing clerical work for administrators. Anderson said one of his most memorable volunteer experiences occurred in March, when a man who had cut part of his chin off with a chainsaw came into the emergency room. Anderson and another volun teer were permitted to "scrub up" and see the operation first-hand a rare experience for volunteers. The plastic surgeon even allowed the volunteers to assist with some of the minor procedures in the operation, Anderson said. "It wasn't so serious that we couldn't be involved." Another experience helped And erson realize that performing med ical procedures is not the only difficult part of being a doctor. He said the case involved a woman who was admitted to the hospital for a gallstone operation, but doctors discovered she had cancer. "How could I tell someone something like that? "I'm the type of person that will always get close to his patients," he said. Although Anderson has yet to perform open-heart surgery as he once imagined, he said his experien ces as a volunteer will benefit him as a doctor. "I broadened my perspective," he said. "I took my view of me out of the picture. I see there's so many other things now that are important to the program." Fisher said the variety of hospital departments attracts many different DropAdd will be done by class, and the earlier students call, the more likely they are to receive the classes they request. Lanier said students shouldn't worry about other students altering their schedules by phone because the system is very secure. It's the same system the IRS uses. However, Jicha said the system will not allow students to bypass meetings with advisers. In order to get into the system, students must punch in their social security number plus a personal identification number available only from an adviser. This number can be changed so a student will have to see an adviser each time he wants to drop or add a class. Students said Wednesday that they think the system will help to make the registration process less stressful. "It's got to beat waiting in that line," said Sara Page, a junior from Winston-Salem. "You could do it in your pajamas, have a snack while you preregister." But Page also had some appre hensions about the system. "I keep having this recurring dream that there'll be nothing but a busy signal Bosi'tt Carry It Too FAR offices Avery Carmichael Craige Ehringhaus Granville Hinton James Joyner Morrison Just carry it to the University Laundry.

I .l,..l.llJ against the proposal said they were concerned about rezoning the house. "The rezoning changes the nature of the neighborhood," board member Mae McLendon said. "1 don't really feel like we've given the house a chance to be used for residential purposes," board member Don Francisco said. The house is now used as a rental house. "The house is too large and needs too many renovations to be a single family home," said Katie Eyre, the rental agent for the house. "It will stay run-down if it remains a rental house." students. Volunteers can help with anything from clerical work to patient feeding, so even students who are uneasy around sick people can work in the hospital. "Each student is treated as an individual," she said. The staff members understand that NCMH is a teaching and learning hospital, and they try to help the volunteers, she said. Fisher said the experience volun teers get in the hospital is beneficial if they plan to enter a medical profession. "You need the practical experience along with the degree knowledge to get a real taste of the working world," she said. Felicia Mebane, a sophomore business major, said she joined the program to get an idea of what the medical professions are like, but that she also wanted to get more involved in the community. In her two semesters at the hos pital, Mebane has worked at the medicine walk-in clinic and the cleft palate program. Mebane said she chose the cleft palate program to learn more about the birth defect, which affects a friend of hers. But volunteer work has also helped Mebane decide she wants to be a medical professional. "Just being there (at the hospital) has made me say, 4Yeah, that's what I want to do,' " she said. Another student volunteer, Anita Adams, a senior who hopes to pursue a career combining business and medicine, said she entered the program so she would have expe rience to put on her resume. "I thought it would be good to put on my resume," she said. "I wasn't doing too much around school." Adams has volunteered for three from page 1 and nobody will be able to get through," she said.

The heirs of the estate are selling the center for $170,000, which is the amount paid for state taxes. Some residents from Cobb Ter race neighborhood, located near the house, came to the meeting to request that the planning board deny the rezoning request. "People will be gradually changing the residential areas into offices if they know they can rezone," said from page 1 semesters, working in the hematology and pharmacy depart ments and helping to collect drug information from the library for hospital files. Adams said that the program has not been all she expected it to be. "I don't think they give us as much responsibility as we want," she said. "But the stuff we do is important." Sydney Wright, the supervisor for Occupational Therapy in the Burn Center, agreed that volunteer servi ces are important to the hospital. "When we're real busy (in the Burn Center), if it wasn't for the volunteers we'd never get things done," Wright said. "They're a great asset." Some of her volunteers are given a lot of responsibility, she said. "If they're real innovative and excited about what they do, they get more responsibility," she said. "But if they're just here to fulfill some requirement, they don't get so much." In the Burn Center, volunteers work one-on-one with the patients, Wright said. Wright said she warns volunteers before they begin to work in the burn unit that the appearance of some of the patients may be difficult to deal with. But she said that she has never lost a volunteer who could not handle seeine burned natients. Most volunteers come to the Burn Center knowing what they will see, she said. "When the volunteers see something that bothers them, well talk about what they're feeling." .The 40-45 student volunteers in the emergency room are also impor tant, according to Roberta Vereen, team leader and liaison of volunteers in the emergency room. Student volunteers are invaluable to . the hospital staff and patients, Vereen said. "Money cannot buy them," she said. "We just cannot do without them." com-ops Avery Carmichael Connor Craige Ehringhaus Hinton James Joyner Mclver Morrison Odum Village Winston Spencer Sally Massengale, a resident of Cobb Terrace.

The center had an open house to display their renovation plans for the residents of the neighborhood, Monroe said.

"The rezoning offers no threat to erode the neighborhood," said plan ning board member Julian Raney. "The house is surrounded by uses compatible with the Women's Cen ter, such as the Phi Mu sorority house and other offices." Board chairman Alan Rimer said the center would provide a buffer between the neighborhood and the federal funds in 1970," Jordan said. "The idea was to develop the lake for recreation." Jordan Lake was also chosen for the recreation site because it is accessible to many people, Jordan added. "It's easy access, since it's just off (Highway) 64," he said. "The deci sion was also made on the lake's proximity to a dense population." J & W Builders of Greensboro will begin construction of the facility when Jordan Lake officials give them permission, said J & W Builders president Larry Francisco.
