Heavy traffic on S. Columbia Street
has created a dangerous hazard for
students in the School of Public Health,
but attempts to correct the problem have
so far met with failure, according to
Assistant Dean Robert Morehead.
With the completion of the Health
Sciences Library, the reading room in the
School of Public Health was closed. The
students now are forced to cross the busy
highway, often at peak rush hours.

temperature ana he was complaining of
the basic flu symptoms: runny nose,
cough, sore throat and strong chest pains.
After a restless night, Munzo was seen
by Dr. William J. Burke of the Infirmary.
Dr. James A. Taylor director of the
Student Health Service, spoke for all who
helped Munzo while he was in the
Infirmary and said that Munzo appeared a
little drowsy that morning, and
something about him seemed different
from the usual flu patient.
A consultant from Memorial Hospital,
Dr. Janet Fisher, was brought in on the

UNCs nationally prominent debater,
Joe Loveland, will return to debating this
weekend when the UNC debate team
travels to Harvard University for a
tournament.
Last year Loveland and Joe McGuire,
presently at Harvard Law School, won
major college debate tournaments at
Emory University, Northwestern
University and UCLA. '
Loveland and McGuire debated in the
National ChammonshiD Tournament last
year. The tournament was a
"disillusionment" according to Loveland.
Loveland has not debated this year
because he is tired of it after six years.The
senior Morehead Scholar also felt he
-should spend more time on an honors
'. paper.
Loveland's partner at the Harvard
"debate will be freshman Jeff Allred.
Allred's interest in debating stemmed
-from a high school speech course. He said
'most UNC debaters debated .in high
.school. Allred felt he had acquired skill in
research, argument, and
.' cross-examination at summer seminars
, held at Georgetown University and
Northwestern University.
While attending Andrews' High School
in High Point, N.C., Allred won at Seton
;HaH University, the RFK Memorial in
Boston and the Catholic National
Championship. He debated in the District

middle of campus when they drive
through this area,' Morehead said. "We
want to prevent accidents."
Dr. Charles Harper, associate dean of
the School of Public Health, said
compaints had been made about the
inadequate safety facilities for over a
year.
"We made a request to the University
administration before the Health Sciences
Library was completed -we anticipated
the traffic and suggested they consider
alternatives to the crosswalk," he said.
Complaints have also been lodged with
Allen Waters, director of the Operations
case. Around 1 1 that morning Munzo had
chest X-rays that showed more splotchy,
white areas than a flu patient's lungs
should have. At noon Munzo was
transferred to Memorial.
Dr. Frederick Sparling, his attending
physician at Memorial, said that although
Munzo was lucid Monday night, it was
apparent by Tuesday morning that
"nothing could be done." Friday morning
by 2 a.m., Munzo was dead.
The hospital made what Dr. Sparling
called "heroic measures" and said they
had done "everything that was humanly
possible." And it seemed, as he said, that
the Infirmary had done "the best they
could."
Munzo unfortunately got sick on a
Qualifying Tournament which included
debaters from North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia.
Earlier this season Allred won the
Wake Forest Novice Tournament. He was
ranked sixth in a field of 68 debaters in a
tournament held Jan. 9-21 at Seton Hall
University.
Coach Robert Cox said Allred's
performance was unusual for a freshman.
He has great hopes for the
Loveland-Allred team at the Harvard
tournament.
UNC will also be represented by
sophomores Cole Campbell and Tom
Dillard. According to Cox, Dillard was
outstanding last year. The
Campbell-Dillard team will be competing
for an at-large invitation to the National
Debate Tournament in April.
The Harvard tournament will attract
teams from 100 universities. Cox
predicted both teams would do extremely
well.
Cox said the team is in the process of
rebuilding. Any student interested in
debating should take Speech 45 and see
Robert Cox in 101-A Bingham.

and tngineering Department. "I'm trying
to go through channels," Harper said.
Waters, however, does not have the
power to take and action.
"Because Columbia is a state highway,
only the State Highway Commission can
make any changes," Waters said. "We
simply do not have the power to change
the situation."
At Waters' recommendation, the State
Highway Traffic Engineers have
conducted a study of the problem. The
study group included both state highway
officials t and professional consultants
hired by the Highway Commission.

weekend when he couldn't be seen right
away and Chapel Hill has been in a flu
epidemic, according to Dr. Taylor, so he
might not have been seen by a doctor
immediately anyway. Perhaps the most
tragic fact of all is that there is no real
cure for viral pneumonia. All a doctor can
do is to try to ease the symptoms, giving
oxygen, fluids and the like.
Munzo was the oldest of 1 1 children
and his brother had been contacted by
the hospital when it became apparent
that Munzo was in serious difficulty. Dr.
Sparling wrote Munzo's parents after his
death, explaining that although the case
was a rare one, and that they had done
their best, he "really didn't have an
answer" for why their son had died.
According to Robert Allen, public
information spokesman for Disease
Control in Atlanta, usually the only
people who die from flu complications
are the very old or the chronically ill.
Munzo had been in good health when he
entered the hospital except for the flu,
Dr. Sparling reported.
Allen also said that it was not probable
for a person that age to die from the flu.
Dr. Sparling agreed that such cases were
rare, adding that occasionally deaths did
occur in the young.
Masses were said' all Monday for
Munzo at St. Thomas More Catholic
Church where he had sung in the choir. A
eulogy was given Monday by Daniel
Zalacain, a close friend who drove him to
the Infirmary just a week earlier.
Zalacain, like Munzo, was a foreign
student. Munzo was from Costa Rica
where he was a professor of English at the
University there. He was not married, and
he and Zalacain had gone to parties last
year before Munzo had difficulties with
his studies. He had first studied
intensively in English then switched
midway through this year to comparative
literature. His adviser Dr. Eugene Falk,
said he "never really knew him."
NOt many people seemed to know
him when he was alive, although his
landlady said he occasionally had people
over for dinner. His old roommate from
Carr Dorm said he was a private, hard
working, meticulous student.
When Zalacain gave his eulogy in the
Faculty Lounge of Dey Hall on Monday,
it seemed he had more friends than he
knew. The room, normally holding 125
people, was full, with people standing in
the aisle to pay their respects.

"the group considered such proposals
as a tunnel under the road, a crosswalk
over the road and a safety island in the
center. Other ideas included a
pedestrian-operated stop light.
All of these proposals have been
rejected as impractical by the
Commission. "A tunnel is impossible
because the ground is almost solid rock,"
said Waters. The area is laced with major
utility lines, including steam, gas, water,
sewer and electricity, he added.
"A crosswalk would back up traffic
beyond the two stoplights near the
School," Waters said. "In peak traffic
hours, traffic may even back up into the
town. A pedestrian-controlled crosswalk
is just too impractical."
"The engineers contend the pedestrian
traffic is not sufficient to warrant a major
project," Waters reported.
The State Highway Commission has
already made two improvements at the
request of the Operations and
Engineering Department. A crosswalk has
been painted on the road, and two
flashing warning signs have been posted at
the sides of the street.
The Highway Engineers have agreed on
a third proposal of three flashing warning
lights suspended over the highway. These
lights must meet state specifications and
must be paid for by the University.
Before construction, the University
must receive the state specifications. The
figures were supposed to arrive in
December or January, but have not yet
been received.
"After the figures do arrive," Waters
said'it could be another three to four
months before the lights would be in
operation."
Lorena Warner, assistant to Mayor
Howard Lee, said that the city had no
power to regulate any state highway.
Warner recommended that the School of
Public Health request another study of
the problem by the Highway
Commission.
