Groyp offers D-40 deveDopmemitt plan
By LARRY STONE
Staff Writer.
I The Adaron Group has proposed
a 40-acre mixed development at the
intersection of Interstate 40 and N.C.
36, the first development of its kind
along the newly opened stretch of I
40. Ron Strom, one of the Research
Triangle group's partners, said it
would take five to 10 years to
jcomplete the project at a cost of about
$75 million.
j The land is on the southeastern
border of 1-40 and stretches back to
;Weaver Dairy Road.
The development will be predom
inantly office space, but there also will
be a commercial component and
possibly a hotel, health club and
entertainment complex, Strom said,
j "We, as the applicant, have pro
posed a fully integrated, well
planned, fully coordinated project,"
,he said.
; The project will have to meet the
standards set up by the joint planning
agreement, zoning ordinances passed
by Orange County, Chapel Hill and
Carrboro, and the mixed-use zoning
ordinance.
The joint planning agreement
establishes a rural buffer zone to
distinguish between residential areas
and places where development may
occur. 1-40 is the border for the rural
buffer at N.C. 86, which might allow
the proposed project south of the
highway.
"Our quadrant was clearly marked
for a highly intensive development,"
Strom said.
The mixed-use ordinance calls for
future development with minimum
impact on neighborhoods and exist
ing roadways. Strom said his firm's
proposal meets both criteria.
"There's not a better place to serve
northern Chapel Hill," he said. "The
only neighborhood in that area is
Northwoods on the west side of
(N.C.) 86. We have taken great steps a large parcel of land and coordinate
to minimize the effects by placing the it, it should be good for the commun-
hotel and commercial area closer to
the interchange and proposing an
office across from the subdivision."
Strom lives in the Northwoods
neighborhood.
The proposal is a two-step proce
dure, beginning with an overall
blueprint of the general layout of
buildings, parking and buffers, Strom
said.
"This Droiect will take five to 10
ity, he said. Without that, you can
have a situation like the one at
Franklin (Street) and Estes (Drive),
where you have different landscaping,
curb cuttings and signage. What if
they were master-planned?"
Although the approval process has
just begun, Strom said he has had
some preliminary discussions with
possible tenants.
We have talked with a health club,
years to complete, so I don't know one of Chapel Hill's more prominent
exactly what dimensions my build- restaurants and some professional
ings will be," he said. "I want to give groups who would like to be located.
a general sense, based on a detailed
site analysis."
If the project gains initial approval,
the group would then be more specific
in its plans, Strom said.

Viirus causes mimiDmai damage
to Triamgie computer systems
By DEMISE JOYCE
Staff Writer
; The computer virus devised and
executed two weeks ago by Cornell
graduate student Robert Morris Jr.
caused some slight disturbances
within the University and surround
ing areas.
The virus was a program that
inserted itself into a computer system
to spread to other programs, causing
temporary confusion as it traveled,
said assistant computer science pro
fessor Dean Brock.
The virus used the computer mail
system SENDMAIL as the gateway
to other potential systems, but the
spread was stopped early, Brock said.
The virus could have entered the
SENDMAIL system or another
system called FINGER, or it could
have cracked other systems' pass
words, said Bill Fuller, manager of
the computer center at MCNP, a
microelectronics firm in Research
Triangle Park.
The virus attempted to enter some
of MCNP's systems, but security
programs dissolved it, Fuller said.
MCNC shut down some systems but
had no damage, he added.
"A substantial amount of time was
wasted because we didnt know what
the effect would be at the time," Fuller
said.
"It was a very clever program,"
Brock said.
Brad Bennett, an electronic tech
nician in the computer science depart
ment, said some changes were made
to two or three programs.
"We were pretty lucky," Bennett
said. "It never made it into any of
the systems."
Both Brock and Bennett said the
federal computer systems are not
excessively vulnerable.
Systems containing important

"Any time a developer can control people from the offices," he said. "I
would call it fairly upscale in nature.
But the commercial portion of the
development will not be what people
may think of as typical commercial
development, he said.
"We've turned down lots of calls
from developers of K marts and car
dealerships who would love to set up
a large commercial complex on this
aformation, such as national
research material or payroll dispersal,
usually have more protection than
those systems the virus invaded,
Brock explained.
The news-exchange network that
the virus attacked was necessarily
open and flexible to allow for the easy
flow of data and information, Bennett
said.
"The virus was restricted to aca
demic departments and a few busi
nesses, but it really didn't affect the
serious stuff," Brock said.
Even though major systems have
substantial protection, Bennett said
a more "deadly" virus could erase
disks and cause permanent damage.
Although Morris has said little
about his motive for creating the
virus, Brock and others speculated
that Morris may have done it for the
challenge of proving that it could be
done.

"The word 'commercial' scares a lot
of people in Chapel Hill," he said.
"Here, I think it would be an integral
part of a project that would be
beneficial to the town."

Geog
By BRENDA CAMPBELL
Staff Writer
UNC's Department of Geography
will work to educate students about
the various aspects of the science this
week as it sponsors Geography
Awareness Week.
The public views geography as a
science that deals only with maps and
the location of places, said Carol
Hazard, a graduate student in
geography.
"We want everyone to realize that
geography deals with a wide variety
of things like climate, the environ
ment and medical geography." she
said. "It is not just finding places or
knowing the capitals of all the states."
Gov. Jim Martin proclaimed Nov.
13 through Nov. 19 Geography
Awareness Week in the state, John
Florin, geography department chair
man, said Friday.
v Geography Awareness Week is a
nationwide event, Florin said. "This
is the second year that Congress has
proclaimed that there be a National
Geography Awareness Week cele
brated all over the nation," he said.
Florin said N.J. Sen. Bill Bradley
came up with the idea.
"There has always been a long
tradition of interest and concern for
the public and their lack of geography
concerns. He (Bradley) worked with
a variety of organizations to develop
this week to increase the public's
understanding of geography," Florin
said.

The long-standing problem of
public housing overcharges in Chapel
Hill has been solved by $100,000 in
federal money, and public housing
tenants had a chance to find out about
it at a meeting last week.
Because the local housing authority
did not keep up with rising utility
rates, the tenants were not given a
large enough utility allowance,
according to Candace Carraway,
attorney for North State Legal
Services (NSLS).
NSLS represented public housing
tenants in the recent settlement with
town and federal officials.
This settlement between NSLS, the

Karl Zimmer, an assistant profes
sor in the geography department,
recently conducted research in Peru
on the agricultural use of land in the
country.
"Geography is very international in
the aspect of problems," Zimmer said.
"The work that I do is really broadly
related to the use of the environment
by humans and peasants in the rural
areas of the Third World

Development and the Town of
Chapel Hill will provide $100,000 to
correct overcharges that began in
1982, Carraway said.
In a public meeting last week, the
tenants had a chance to find out what
the refunds involve.
Tina Vaughn, director of housing
and community development for
Chapel Hill, said the refunds will be
given to the affected tenants as a rent
there was concern these refunds might
interfere with their benefits, Vaughn
said.
The tenants were told to notify
their respective social workers upon
receiving the check, she said. There
is no guarantee that a tenant's benefits
will be safe, but most tenants' benefits
will not be affected, she said.
Town attorney Ralph Karpinos
said the town discovered the problem
in 1986 when it appointed someone
to act as a temporary director of the
Chapel Hill Housing Authority.
At that time, the authority was a
separate legal entity from the town,
and the town was considering estab:
lishing a housing program that would
be responsible to the town, Karpinos
said.
When the appointment was made

and town officials heard a legal
service had been contacted about the
overcharges, the town got involved,
Karpinos said.
The Chapel Hill Housing Author
ity has since been dissolved and has
been replaced by the town's Depart
ment of Housing and Community.
The overcharges may have convinced
some town officials that the housing
authority should be replaced with a
program with direct accountability to
the town, Karpinos said.
The problem has taken nearly two
years to correct because the town had
to go back and determine when the
rate updates should have been made

Elizabeth Furr, director of law
school admissions, said the UNC
School of Law is making "fairly
aggressive" efforts to recruit qualified
students, but it's difficult because of
the relatively small number of black
students who apply.
"It is difficult to retain quality
minority students in law," she said.
"There is a limited pool of applicants,
and every law school is vying for the
same pool of applicants." ;
The law school sends a letter t0
every minority applicant and sponf
sors a phonathon in which black la
students call accepted applicants
Also, 60 percent of minority law
students at UNC receive some sort
of scholarship.
Law school administrators are
making a "strong effort" to raise the"
percentage of black law students to
at least 10 percent, she said. 1 : '
