Town officials have had mixed
reactions to the Chapel Hill Town
Council's vote last week to abolish
the town's financially troubled
housing authority.
Under the new plan, the Chapel
Hill Department of Housing will
assume the powers of the authority,
which had faced a decrease in federal
funding for its 312 apartments for
low-income families.
i think the public housing pro
gram will be better in the long run,"
authority chairwoman Rosemary
Waldorf said. "There will be more
opportunity now for the tenants to
voice their opinions."
Mayor Pro Tern Bill Thorpe, the
only council member to vote against
the proposal, disagreed.
The red tape in town government
will prevent the Chapel Hill Housing
Authority from helping the tenants,"
Thorpe said. "If a room needed to
be fixed in one of the units, the
authority would have to get permis
sion from many people, which would
mean it would be a long time before
anything would get done."
Thorpe said he did not approve
of the plan because he did not think
the town had the legal right to spend
public funds on the authority.
He also said he did not think the
change would be best for the tenants,
because under the new agency they
would have to reapply to live in the
units where some of them had lived
for five to 10 years.
The purpose of the plan is to
improve maintenance of the housing
units, said Tina Vaughn, interim
from page 1
director of the new housing
department.
Vaughn said the Chapel Hill
Department of Housing would not
be run or financed any differently
from the authority.
"The basic day-to-day operations
won't change," Vaughn said. "There
are federal guidelines we always have
to follow for things such as lease and
tenant selection."
Vaughn said that until the prop
osal takes effect, it is difficult to
predict the financial progress of the
new department or whether the
residents of the housing units will see
improvements.
"Over the next 90 days, we will
be outlaying the plan, and we hope
the plan will be self-supporting,"
Vaughn said.
Rally
charges.
At the rally, Marion Phillips,
associate dean of Student Affairs,
will lead a service in solidarity.
Also speaking will be Laurie
Nathans, a white South African and
member of the End Conscription
Campaign, which is South Africa's
largest white resistance group to
apartheid.
At the meeting Friday, trustee
Old East
William Darity is expected to
announce his decision on whether he
will resign from the board.
Darity, the only black member of
the BOT, threatened last month to
resign from the board after several
unsuccessful attempts to convince
the board to support divestment. He
called the board's stance against
divestment racist.
The board voted 5 to 3 against
a proposal at its Feb. 27 meeting that
would have restricted University
purchases of goods made by South
African-related companies. Darity
wrote the proposal.
Divestment was not placed on
Friday's agenda, which includes
reports from the Chancellor's Com
mittee, Development Committee,
Property Committee, Honorary

East.
Both buildings will be air
conditioned.
If Old East and Old West become
coed, some action will be taken to
even out the male-female ratio in that
part of campus, since the Spencer-
NOISO from page 1
mem. the council would probably
vote to pass it.
The only amendment that can pass
by a majority at the meeting next
Wednesday is the same one that was
voted on at the April 13 meeting,
Bailey said. If the amendment is
altered, it could pass if approved by
two-thirds of the council; if only a
majority approves, the altered
amendment would have to be
revoted on, he said. Any council
member has the power to motion to
change the amendment.
If the amendment does not pass
on the 29th, Bailey said he was not
sure what the next step would be,
but the issue won't die. "The next
step will be planned over the summer
and carried out next year when
students are here." he said.

opinion."
This survey shows that North
Carolinians are not as conservative
as everyone thinks, Allen said.
Gov. Jim Martin had not seen the
press release and could not comment
upon it, said Tim Pittman, Martin's
press secretary.
. "North Carolina Speaks" is the
first extensive survey conducted
specifically to determine the feelings
of North Carolinians on abortion,
state-funded abortion, sex education
and contraception counseling for
teenagers.
The poll was paid for by the Mary
Reynolds Babcock Foundation, a
firm from Winston-Salem. Planned
Parenthood of Charlotte has been
working on it since early January.
Triad-Old Well (STOW) area is
predominantly female.
Task force member Bryan Hassel
said that at the meeting the members
"ironed out some mundane but
important topics about the buildings
and tied up some loose ends to get
ready for next fall."
Representatives from Dodge and
Associates, the Raleigh-based archi
tectural firm that is in charge of the
plans for Old East and Old West,
refused Tuesday to disclose the
nature of the plans for the buildings.
"Because it's still in review, and
weVe made a report in writing to
Dr. (Wayne) Kuncl (director of
University Housing), we can't talk
about the plans now," said architect
William W. Dodge III. "It's no secret
the housing people just want
everything to come from the same
source."
Kuncl was unavailable for com
ment Tuesday, but Vice Chancellor
and Dean of Student Affairs Donald
Boulton said, "We went over all six
or seven plans submitted by the
architects and agreed on one with
some modification."

"The board will not deal with the
issue (of divestment), so it has to be
forced on the agenda," AAA
member McKinley said.
BOT secretary Maria Young said
that the student groups would be
allowed to speak at the meeting, but
that they would probably not be able
to force the board to take action on
the issue Friday morning.

HI1AT I'JE LEARN FROM THE
HYDRA MIGHT TAKE THE STKJG
OUT OF HEART DISEASE.
The hydra not the nine-headed mythological serpent slain by
Hercules, but a tiny freshwater cousin to the jellyfish may ;
come to the aid of patients suffering from congestive
heart failure.
At least that's the preliminary findings by American Heart -Association
sponsored researcher, Dr. Georgia Lesh-Laurie. Her
research has led to the uncovering of a substance found in the .
toxin of the Hydra's sting that will strengthen the heartbeat.
The beauty of this discovery is that the new substance could -be
a replacement for digitalis, the current drug administered to
patients suffering from cardiovascular problems. Digitalis, made
from the purple foxglove plant, increases the heart's pumping '
power without increasing oxygen demand. But, patients with "
kidney problems cannot use digitalis.
The phenomenon was first noticed in people stung by
jellyfish. They noticed a sudden neurological and cardiovascular
response. In her research, Dr. Lesh-Laurie found that the toxins
contained a protein substance that increased heart rates and
pumping power, but seemingly without the side effects of digi-:
talis. The next sten is tn trv to develoD a drug with heart
stimulating responses, in a small enough amount not to trigger
the body's immune systems. . ;
Research is an investment that makes a difference. ;
