Sanford to be keynote speaker
at University Day celebration
From ttafl reports
U.S. Sen. Terry Sanford, D
N.C., will be the featured speaker
during University Day ceremonies
on Monday, Oct. 12.
University Day marks the 194th
birthday of the laying of the"
cornerstone of Old East, the
nation's oldest state university
building.
Public ceremonies will begin at
10:40 a.m. with a faculty proces
sion down Cameron Avenue
through the heart of campus. The
procession will file into Memorial
Hall for the 1 1 a.m. convocation
where Chancellor Christopher
Fordham will preside and five
Distinguished Alumnus Awards
will be presented.
Professor awarded NIH grant
The National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute of the National
Institutes of Health has awarded
Dr. David Clemmons, an asso
ciate professor of medicine at
UNC, a five-year, $559,000 grant.
The award will fund Clemmons
research on the role of cell growth
factors in stimulating smooth
muscle cell division. Some growth
factors produce new blood vessels
in tumors, without which the
tumors cannot survive.
Clemmons, who is also a
member of the Lineberger Cancer
Research Center's Cancer Cell
Biology program, is researching
the endothelium, a layer of cells
that covers vessels and prevents
blood from clotting. His work may
provide clues to interfering with
the blood supply of tumors.
Former UNC professor dies
Clarence Heer, Kenan professor
emeritus of economics at UNC,
died of cancer on Monday, Sept.
14 at Memorial Hospital. He was
94.
Heer, a nationally known econ
omist, was a member of a special
presidential commission to Korea
in 1952 to advise on fiscal prob
lems. The native of Rochester,
N.Y. served on the government
research staff of the National

Sunday wasn't a day for napping
for some University administrators
and student leaders.
About 30 of them met Sunday
afternoon to discuss how to improve
the working relationship between
officials and students.
"Just by bringing people together,
we can cross a lot of hurdles," Student
Body President Brian Bailey told the
group.

chancellor and dean of Student
Affairs, said a primary purpose of the
workshop was to provide a format

The first step toward studying the
effects of development on the Uni
versity Lake watershed began last
Thursday, when the Orange Water
and Sewer Authority Board of Direc
tors authorized contract negotiations
with a Raleigh firm based in Boston,
Mass.
Camp, Dresser and McKee, which
submitted an $80,000 to $ 100,000 cost
proposal for the water quality study,
was chosen for the contract over a
joint proposal submitted by Limno
Tech. Inc. and the Research Triangle
Institute.
Everett Billingsley, OWASA exec
utive director, said he would submit
the contract to the board for final
approval when it's completed. He said
he hopes to begin the study within
a couple of months.

OWASA wont provide fire protection to subdivision
By SANDY DIMSDALE
Staff Writer
The Orange Water and Sewer
Authority (OWASA) has decided not
to provide water for fire protection
to the proposed Amberly subdivision,
but this should not directly affect
commercial fire protection rates in
Carrboro, Fire Chief Robert Swiger
said Friday. :
Amberly is a 215-acre subdivision
of about 150 single-family residences

is a possibility and I stress

istrators to voice their expectations

The students at the workshop
agreed that administrators and stu
dents need to work together while
issues are developing to avoid heated
reactions to decisions that already
have been made.
Kelly Clark, Resident Hall Asso
ciation president, said student
involvement with decision-making
needs to go beyond advising. "Not
only are we asking for input, we're
asking for impact."
Clark also said the administration
should recognize that student organ
izations, as well as student members
of advisory boards, should be con
sidered viable advisers.
subdivision on the University Lake
watershed.
Chapel Hill and Carrboro residents
filed a lawsuit against the town Aug.
27, claiming the board might have
acted inappropriately when it agreed
to annex and zone 144 acres and grant
a conditional-use permit for the land.
Many citizens are angry that
Amberly was not put on hold untir
the watershed study is completed,
which should take about a year.
Work on the Amberly project will
hold until the lawsuit has been settled,
but a court date has not been set.
"We will wait for the results of the
watershed study before we approve
any more development (on the
watershed)," said Carrboro Mayor
Jim Porto. "However, Amberly had
already been approved when
watershed development became such
a big issue. You dont change the rules
of the game in midstream for some
body that's playing by the old rules."
Porto said the Amberly developer,
Philip Szostak, had complied with
town's insurance rating."
Swiger said fire insurance rates
could increase if the town's fire rating
fell. Carrboro has a fire rating of four
on a scale of one to 10, one being
the best.
Homeowner's insurance is the
same for residents of towns with
ratings of five, four or three, Swiger
said. A drop in the town's rating
would primarily affect commercial
property rates, he said.
Towns are rated for fire safety by

there' is no state law requiring

Communication between adminis
trators and students was a main
concern of both groups at the
meeting.
Boulton said the students on the
advisory committees represented the
needs and opinions of the student
body to. the Division of Student
Affairs.
"The role of students in advisory
boards is very vital in this division,"
he said.
It's the responsibility of student
leaders to convey needs to adminis
trators, Boulton said.
"You, and you alone, know what
your needs are," he said.
Bailey listed several steps that
would improve the relationship
Carrboro ordinances: a minimum
number of roads, units built away
from streams and one unit limited to
every two acres.
He said Amberly is the first devel
opment that Carrboro has approved
on its part of the watershed. .
"I'm also mystified because Orange
County has allowed a lot of devel
opment on the watershed and
nobody's said anything about that,"
Porto said.
The county will not stop watershed
development in its jurisdiction while
the watershed study is continuing,
said Donald Willhoit, an Orange
County commissioner.
"I don't think there's any clear
evidence that we're ruining the
watershed with what we're doing
now," Willhoit said.
He estimated that 20 percent of the
30-square-acre watershed is devel
oped right now.
Dan Okun, an authority on water
safety, disagreed. "Any development
on a watershed has some detrimental
effect on the quality of the water
approved for fire protection, Swiger
said.
"IH approve it if they can get that
amount at that pressure, even if they
have to carry it in buckets," he said.
Carrboro Mayor Jim Porto said
OWASA not only has water and
sewer lines installed in the watershed
area, but has approved more than 100
requests for service in the watershed.

rett Billingsley said the board of
directors based decisions to extend
water and sewer service to the

"It would be inconsistent with

attorney's opinion that extending fire
service would be extending water
service."

OWASA imposed a moratorium '
on the extension of water and sewer
lines into the watershed area last -April
in response to Amberly's :
request for these services. The mora
torium will continue until either the
watershed study is completed or two
jears have passed, Billingsley said.
Because OWASA will not serve the
Amberly project, Szostak has pro
posed an alternative: The units could
draw water from wells and the waste
water could be treated with a low
pressure, sub-surface disposal system.
Judith Wegner, a member of the
Carrboro Board of Aldermen, voted
against the Amberly project in July.
"It seems to me that we want area
within the town limits to be on city

"The county is pointing a finger at
us, and yet they have approved every
unit except Amberly," Porto said.
Porto said OWASA lines already
extend into the watershed to the
Carrboro Community Park.
"This is just something that blows
my mind," he said. "A little house
out there was zoned commercial and
converted to a bakery. Someone
came in and asked for a permit for
water and sewer, and OWASA

. Porta said . the opponents of

that development will follow the
