4The Daily Tar HeelMonday, February 13, 1989 Bull is candidate for class treasurer By WILL SPEARS Staff Writer David Bull, a junior interna tional studies major from Colum bia, S.C., has announced his candidacy for senior class treasurer. Bull said he will be a successful treasurer if elected because he has an understanding of what the office entails and because he is willing to work for the senior class. "I've got a real understanding of the job," he said. "And IVe got a willingness to do it." A major part of the treasurer's job is budgeting the senior class gift. Bull said. He said he would explore potential sources of revenue in addition to the sale of senior class T-shirts, Bull said. "I will be involved in coming up with other financial avenues," he said. "1 will research it and 1 will be looking into it." Bull said he will also look into other sources of revenue for the senior class so it can sponsor more functions. Having an affordable senior class trip is important, Bull said. He said he would work toward finding the most economical trip for the class.

"I would have to research it, but 1 would be willing to do that." Bull said his ability to use a computer would allow him to more efficiently manage the senior class budget. "My primary interest is manag ing the funds efficiently," he said. Picking the senior class gift and trip are the duties of the president and vice president, and not the treasurer, Bull said. "That is not the main function of (the treasurer's) job," he said. "I would be willing to help them decide, but my first intention is to do the job and do it well." Bull said he would be active in helping the president and vice president in their decision-making processes. Bull said he wanted to stress that he is able and willing to do the job.

'em, cm Odium Village may be destroyed; By BLAKE DICKINSON Staff Writer Married student housing, threat ened by the Division of Health Affairs' need for space and a pro posed loop road to ease campus traffic, faces possible destruction if UNC's budget request for capital improvements is approved by the N.C. General Assembly. The greatest threat to Odum Village, married student housing on Mason Farm Road, is the road proposed by University officials in order to divert traffic around campus. Part of the proposed route would run from Columbia Street through Odum Village. If approved, the road would knock out 10 of Odum Vil lage's 49 buildings, said Lydia Lewis, assistant director of student family housing and conference services. Chancellor Paul Hardin is forming a management team to consider the master land-use proposal adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1987. Graduate student Ed Poole, president of the Odum Village aldermen, is working to ensure that long-range land-use policy includes some form of married student housing. "We accept having married student housing as related to the core mission Center offers women's health By LAURA TAYLOR Staff Writer Women's Health Resources (WHR) is thriving in downtown Chapel Hill with a new director as well as a new name. Formerly known as the Women's Health Counseling Center, WHR officials wanted women to be aware that the agency offers counseling and much more. "We wanted the title to reflect more about what we do," said Sunny Acker, newly appointed WHR exec utive director. "The (new) title encompasses all of our programs." "Counseling is not all we do by a long shot," she said. WHR offers four basic services to women of Orange County, Acker said. A computerized referral service, educational outreach program, res pite care program and counseling service are available for women with varied health concerns. WHR's computerized referral ser vice is the basis of the agency, Acker said. The agency can refer a woman Clinic. benefits Carrboro, UNC By LD. CURLE StaffWriter .

"Thev (the previous administration) had not really tried to connect it to the core mission of the University, which is to be the premiere school for research and teaching in the system." Without the ability to pay high salaries, the University needs the "quality of life benefits" of housing like Odum Village to attract faculty, he said. Provost Dennis O'Connor, vice chancellor of residential and graduate studies and of research, is conducting a survey of all married graduate students to determine if there is a need for Odum Village. Lewis said that with 400 people on Odum Village's waiting list, the need is obvious. Poole said Odum Village's prox imity to campus, low rent ($230 per month for a single-bedroom apart ment and $260 per month for a two bedroom), lack of traffic and cohe siveness of the residents combine to make an ideal facility. "It's a neighborhood, whereas 1 don't think you can call any apart ment complex in Chapel Hill or Carrboro a neighborhood," Poole said. to a doctor or other health-care professional who will assist her in the best possible way, she said. Referrals are made to both mental and physical health-care profession als. WHR tries to match the needs of the woman with a professional in order to make a responsible referral, Acker said. "WHR monitors all referrals," she said. "We follow up to see if the health problem was resolved. If not, we continue assistance." So that women can know more about the professionals they will see, the agency keeps an ever-expanding opinion file. WHR encourages women who have been helped by referrals in the past to record their opinions about community health care professionals, Acker said.

"Married student housing is not the optimal use of that land because the Health Affairs Division has to expand," Chancellor Paul Hardin said. In fact, according to Gordon Rutherford, director of facilities planning and design, Odum Village has been living on borrowed time for 25 years. "The die was set in 1963, when they turned the hospital around to face south," Rutherford said. Odum Village is no longer out in the woods and the move was an obvious indi cation of the direction development was heading, he said. Hardin, who visited Odum Village for the first time on Dec. 9 and walked the proposed roadway over the Christmas holiday, said the Univer sity was committed to affordable housing for faculty and staff. The current outlook is that Odum Village will be phased out in its current location and replaced else where, he said. "I want to be darn sure it (the road) is going in the right place, and I want The center is versatile and draws on a professional speakers bureau to better educate the public on health matters. "We want women made aware that we can provide education on any health issue they are con cerned about," Viveros said. Lectures cover many health topics. WHR recently conducted a program about memory development with a senior citizens' group, she said. The center will give a program concerning nutrition, stress and exercise to a women's management group in the near future. Acker said respite care provides relief for caretakers of the elderly. The agency tries to help local families who must care for an elderly relative, she said. WHR respite care is an alternative to nursing homes and may help to alleviate abuse of the elderly, she said. Trained volunteers are sent into private homes for four hours each week, Acker said. Center officials want to train more volunteers so they service that the clinic performs is physicals for marriages, jobs and schools. Attending physician Dr. John Frey said another aspect of the clinic is the experience it provides to medical students, nursing students and dental students. The clinic acts as a "window to the practicing world," he said, and the patients are more typical of a private practice than the exotic cases students see at North Carolina Memorial Hospital (NCMH). Herndon said an average visit to the clinic starts with a screening, which is done by a first-year health student. Then the patient is examined by a fourth-year medical student, who has looked at the patient's history obtained from the screening. The fourth-year student discusses the case with an attending physician, and the student and the physician Z ORIGINAL BABYBACK RIB DINNERS Our moat popular.

But this is not simply a University or student concern, he said. The newly formed town-University com mittee will discuss affordable hous ing, day care, transportation, expan sion and parking. Donald Boulton, vice chancellor and dean of student affairs, said, "Indeed, we cannot go and smash down Odum Village until we have the alternatives in place to go to."

This is an issue that women 40 years old and older are very con cerned about, Acker said. WHR's respite care program targets middle income families who may not (qualify for federal aid or cannot afford private care for elderly relatives. But counseling is still an integral part of the center despite the name change. All counseling is confidential and non-judgmental, Acker said, Counseling and referrals are given to pregnant women in need. "We are a pro-choice agency. We perform pregnancy tests here and can refer a woman to an appropriate healthcare provider," Viveros said. ' Pregnancy counseling offers women information on abortion, adoption and child care.

But Dr. Richard Baker said SH AC is also beneficial for physicians. ttIt's a wonderful opportunity to teach," he said.
