Flashing caution lights and signs
commanding motorists to "Yield to
Pedestrians" mark the crosswalk on
Columbia Street between the School of
Public Health and the Health Sciences
Library. A ny observer on foot is able to time
his crossing wisely if he can observe the speed
of automobiles popping over the crest of the
hilL
But those unable to watch the cars
approaching may fare less successfully.
Jonathan May, a blind student in the
School of Public Health, was nearly run
down on that crosswalk three times during
the past year.
A blind person doesn't have the ability
counteract the breaking of the law," Jon
said, recounting his experiences."! can listen
until the traffic is clear, but a car may come
once I'm in the crosswalk. And when you can
feel the heat of the motor next to you well,
that's close."
When Jon even heard his non
handicapped friends complaining about the
crosswalk, he decided to do something. But
Jon is still waiting for results.
A push button pedestrian stoplight for the
intersection was his first goal, but last fall
Chapel Hill officials told him Columbia
Street was under jurisdiction of the state, not
the town.
Twice earlier this year, Jon asked State
Highway Department officials to evaluate
the crosswalk. They considered it safe.
After nearly being hit again last June, Jon
wrote Gov. James Holshouser, Chancellor
N. Ferebee Taylor and the UNC Board of
Trustees. From the Governor's office, Jon's
letter was referred to the Department of
Transportation; the Chancellor and the
trustees complained to Transportation.

"Technology often presents us with great
benefits on the one hand and knifes us pretty
sharply with the other."
Lord CP. Snow, physicist, novelist, and
socio-cultural commentator, will deliver the
UNC School of Medicine's annual
Merrimon Lecture at 8 p.m. Thursday in H ill
Hall.
Snow applies his view of technology to all
the apparatus of a modern hospital.
"The climate of the hospital always has
within it some wafts of fear," Snow wrote in
an article in Journal of the American
Medical Association. "Those can't be gotten
rid of, but perhaps we can prevent them from
chilling us too much."
A physicist turned novelist, Snow is best
known for his 1 1 -volume sequence Strangers
and Brothers, which outlines the cultural
separation between science and the arts in
the atomic age. Acclaimed as one of "the

closed with 1970's Last Things, a novel about
the accidental victim of a usually harmless
medical procedure.

including The Honours Board and The
Holiday Friend. Lady Snow is also noted for
her criticism and playwrighting. An

And Transportation referred Jon's letter
to a special state officer for citizen
complaints. The officer investigated the
intersection, said Jon's complaints were
justified and wrote Jon that the town would
receive state permission to decide whether to
install the light
After a State Highway Department
official called Jon to tell him a stoplight
would be installed, Jon called the town
manager to find out when. "Probably within
the next 45 days," was the reply.
But those 45 days are practically up.
U nfortunatery, you need pressure in a big
system," Jon said. That's what the task
force is for." '
Jon is one of 12 members of a student task
force formed last November to consolidate
efforts of handicapped students in solving
campus problems.
The group is in the process of applying to
Dean of Student Affairs Donald A. Boulton
for status as an independent campus
organization recognition which would
allow the group to apply for Student
Government funds.
Preparation of an up-to-date information
packet for handicapped students is a major
project on the task force agenda for this year,
according to Linda Yeatts, co-founder of the
group.
"They need to know where there are
specially designated elevators, ramps and
bathrooms; what resource people they can
contact; how they can go to games; and how
to use the Wilson library back entrance."
Linda, whose knee .injury prohibits her
from using the front stairway to Wilson, was
instrumental in getting a special phone
installed at the back door of the library. On
weekends and after 5 p jn. weekdays, when
the back entrance is locked, handicapped
students may contact the library desk via the
phone and have someone come down to let
them enter.
Before this system was established, Linda
said, "I had actually been told 1 would not be
allowed to use the library except on
weekdays."
Specific problems with physical barriers
on campus are the responsibility of Bob
Addleton, an intern for the handicapped in
the Office of Student Affairs.
He investigates complaints about physical
barriers on campus and recommends to
Dean Boulton that improvements such as
curb cuts and ramps be made. If a
professor or a student complains that the
class a handicapped person wishes to take is
to meet in an inaccesible building. Bob has
the class relocated.
Bob sees the task force as a link between
himself and individual handicapped
students. "They need this organization.
There's" no other place they can go and find
someone to speak for them."
Last spring, the group sponsored a
WalksAcross Campus, in which Director of
Housing James D. Condie and other UNC
officials accompanied wheel chair student
Debbie Younker to observe the barriers a
handicapped student may encounter.
This year, the University has allotted
$133,000 for use in making the campus more
accessible.
"Since last fall, our office has conducted a
survey of all campus buildings with
accessibility in mind," said Gordon H.
Rutherford, director of Facilities Planning
for the University. "From the resulting
report, we assigned what we felt were first
priority needs to get at this problem."
Rutherford hopes to complete this year
the addition of handrails to all stairways,
construction of a ramp to Ackland Art
Center, modification of restrooms in Davie
and Dey Halls and extensive renovations to
Woollen Gymnasium and Carmichael
Auditorium.
Rutherford is also considering possible
renovation of two North Campus dorms
one men's and one women's and
installation of elevators in Saunders Hall
and the Alumni Building.
A portion of the funds will be set aside for
special" needs, Rutherford said: "The
numbers game makes no difference they're
people, and there's reason to make changes
for just one."

Cinema
The Thin Man" William Powell and
Myrna Loy star in DashleU Hammetfs murder
mystery ot the 30s. They play Nick and Nora
Charles and, with their dog Asia, they solved
mysteries through seven sequels and a T.V.
series. This was the original. (Wednesday at 7
and 9:30 p.m. In Greenlaw Auditorium, $1,
Alternative Cinema American Comedy
Series.)
The Adventures of - Robin Hood" A
dashing Warner Brothers swashbuckler,
perhaps the best of all, with Errol Ftynn as Sir
Robin Locksley and pure Olivia deHavilland
as Maid Marion. Full of sword fights on
staircases, Jousts and near-hangings, if s the
best of any Robin Hood Incarnation, past or
future. (Carolina at 1 and 4 p.m. Thursday,
$1.50 or subscription.)
"Carnal Knowledge" It was only banned
in a small town in Georgia, but the ads are
proclaiming "Now you can see It!" as If it's
been surpressed everywhere. Mike Nichols
directed Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Art
Garfunkel and Candice Bergen stunningly,
and Jules Felffer script is telling and sad. A
very good movie; and even better the second
time. (Carolina, 2, 3:45, 5:30, 7:15 and 9 p.m.
$2.25.)
"Bananas" Another wild trip down to the
Caribbean with Woody Allen and Howard
Cosell. This really isn't his best film, although
an objective choice would be hard to make
the funniest Allen film seems to be the one
you've just seen. Still "Bananas" is the
spottiest, and perhaps the most offbeat
(Plaza 1, 3:05, 5:05, 7:05 and 9:05
p.m. $2.25.)
"That's Entertainment" That's 130
minutes of highly enjoyable strolling through
movie musical history. (Plaza 2, at 2, 4:30, 7 &
9:30 pjn., $225.)
"Gone With the Wind" The greatest epic
of all time, and this engagement could be
called "Scarlett's Last Stand," since the M-G-M
classic has been sold to TV at last Tara will
never look the same. (Plaza 3, 3 and 8 p.m.
$2.25.)
