Editor's note: This story is the second of a two
part series on last summer's uprising at the North
Carolina Correctional Center for Women in
Raleigh and the effects of those demonstrations
upon the center.
RALEIGH Last June's riots at the
North Carolina Correctional Center for
Women (NCCCW) brought a number of
major issues to the public's attention, and a
number of changes have taken place at the
institution since the five-day insurrection
last June.
The main thing is that we have found a
new direction," explained Louis C. Powell,
Correctional Administrator at NCCCW
since the disturbances. We are now
program rather than work-oriented, having
developed a strong vocational and academic
curriculum."
Upon taking control of NCCCW he said
he would "study this whole correction
community and try to develop the best
correction community there is." Looking
back on that period, he now views his major
concern at that time as one of improving the
. attitude of residents.
MAny community, correctional or free,
must be structured with rules and
regulations to be adhered to," Powell
emphasized. "Yet we must also develop
opportunities for incentives, which must be

Apartments both close to campus and in Carrboro are
available to those willing to search for them, but even the
opening of several new complexes in the Chapel Hill area
bas not offset the apartment crunch.
Finding one means a lot of running around, long waiting
lists, persistence and a little luck, but according to several
apartment managers, mid-April is one of the better times to
apply for an apartment.
May and June are the largest turnover months, but the
waiting lists for July, August and September are long, and
even though one's name is on the list, there is no guarantee
of getting an apartment.
Mary Williams, manager of Towne House Apartments
said it is almost impossible to get an apartment there if you
are not one of the 180 applicants on the waiting list. She
said there is a relatively small turnover and that there are no
vacancies now.
Robert's Associates, which manages Booker Creek, Old
Well, University Gardens, Royal Park and Yum Yum
Apartments, said anyone who applies now should get an
apartment at any of these complexes with no problem,
except for Kingswood. Now is the period of their greatest
num'er f turnovers, but as the summer progresses, the
waiting list will get longer and the chances of getting an
apartment will grow slimmer.

. "We have a few new people, but they have
brought new ideas and changed some of the ;
ideas of people already here," he said. These
new workers have brought new philosophies
to the administration procedures of the
prison, Powell said.
One of the major areas of change has been
that the prison now draws much more from
outside resources than before. Various types
of programs have begun in the last nine,
months, including courses for college credit,
computer science courses, pre-parole
programs and enrichment courses for those
inmates with children (which make up a
majority of the inmate population).There is
also Project Hope, coordinated through
Meredith College, and "Perspectives for
Women in Prison," a program taught
through the UNC English Department.
"We feel the responsibilities for residents
of NCCCW are not only ours, but that the
community has to share the responsibility,"
Powell commented. "Area universities must
become involved; if we are to tap their
resources, they'll have to feel responsible,
too."
Powell has also stressed the involvement
of parents in the treatment process of
inmates. All parents of inmates were invited
to inspect NCCCW when Powell first
started, and the administrator claimed it
"reduced the anxiety level of the parents
greatly."
Bolinwood, another popular apartment complex for
students has some vacancies now, but already there is a
waiting list for July and August.
Some.apartments have no waiting list and work on a first
come-first serve basis. Chapel Hill Realty said that the
apartments becoming vacant now are being filled quickly,
and that students looking for apartments should apply 45
days prior to the time they want it because that is when
tenants must give notice.
i ?ha?f! HUJIRealty manages Brookside,' Colonial Arms,
Lebet Westall and Town Terrace apartments and say that
they have fsjy vacancies now.
Fisher-Fisher Realty, which manages Chapel Hill and'
Village Apartments, said that their greatest turnover
usually comes after Easter, from spring to fall, but that this
year they have received very few notices so far. They require
a 30-day notice and also work on the first come-first serve
basis.
Kutz Realty does not have a waiting list and presently has
seven vacancies. The turnover is slow in the two apartment
complexes it manages, Oak Terrace and Shepherd Lane
Apartments, and they are continually full. The best time to
apply for an apartment is 45 days prior to desired time of
occupancy.
Robert Oakes Sr., owner and manager of Fidelity Court
and Cedar Court Apartments in Carrboro said that he has
no vacancies now, but that with only a 30-day vacating
notice, it is hard to predict what will be open during the
summer.

The N.C. Department of Corrections
gives Powell almost complete freedom in
running Women's Prison, and he said most
inmates have responded positively to his
progressive views of corrections.
Recently, NCCCW officials have given
inmates more freedom in the housing
system. The prison's housing is composed
mainly of a series of cottages with small,
private rooms. Inmates now learn various
levels of freedom through their behavior,
and some cottages now have no supervision.
Corrections officials also hope that there
will be 90 inmates on work-release by the
summer. Inmates participating in that
program now provide their own
transportation to and from their jobs.
"Things like this are good," Powell said. "It's
good for them to make their own decisions
we should promote independency rather
than dependency."
Powell, a ten-year veteran in prison work,
came to NCCCW from Triangle
Correctional Center in Raleigh,, where he
was also superintendent. He noted that there
are differences between running a male and a
female prison, particularly one which has
traditionally had a woman administrator.
"1 can't get as close to the residents as I
would like," he stated, "I have always like to
spend a lot of my free time with the residents,
but 1 can't do that here." Powell has to have a
female escort in the dormitories during the

The Carrboro bus referendum, held to
seek citizen's response to a proposed bus
extension to the town, was defeated Tuesday
770-620.
An unusually heavy turnout of Carrboro
property owners and a light student turnout
combined to defeat the referendum, which
would have given the aldermen authority to
levy up to a 10 cent property tax for bus
service.
Several Carrboro aldermen and citizens
waited outside the Carrboro Town Hall and
watched as the results from Carrboro's five
precincts were posted.
First to be posted were the results from
South Carrboro where the referendum failed
176-161. The precinct includes Berkshire
Manor, Chateau, Northhampton West and
the Greenbelt Community apartment
complexes.
The next precinct to report was the
Plantation Acres subdivision, where
property owners soundly defeated the
referendum 230-64.
The large student and black population in
the University Lake area was expected to
overwhelmingly support the referendum.
The precinct includes the Old Well, Yum
Yum, Royal Park and Carolina Apartment
complexes.
A short time later, the results from the
University Lake precinct were reported, with
the referendum being supported 186-66.
However, the referendum was defeated in
the North Carrboro precinct by a vote of
"294-207. The precinct includes the Lebet,
Estes Park, Sue Ann Court, Pine Knoll and
daylight hours, but must be escorted
everywhere inside the ten-foot high fence
surrounding the prison at night.
Running a prison presents other, more
serious problems. Powell conceded that "we
have to remain alert to keep drugs out," but
that residents often acquire them anyway.
The most common offenses committed by
NCCCW inmates are larceny and forgery,
with contraband offenses next. Inmate
sentences range from six months to life
imprisonment. There are also four women
on Death Row housed at Women's Prison.
The recidivist rate for NCCCW is a
moderately low 14-15 per cent.The current
The current population of the prison is
484 with the vast majority under the age of
30 and 1 15 falling between the ages of 16 and
2l' The institution can comfortably
accomodate 420. Population during the
disturbances was around 435.
Although the prison's population
continues to grow, the N.C. legislature has
not appropriated additional funds to expand
its facilities. Powell said the money could be
spent more effectively on other programs.
" "I hope that future expansion of prison
facilities for North Carolina women will not
be here, but somewhere else in the state," he
stated. "I feel there's a definite need for a
youthful facility for women like Polk
Youth Center (an institution in Raleigh for
youthful male offenders), except for
women."
With an increased number of students leaving
dormitories and heading for apartments, even some of the
more expensive apartments are not able to rent to everyone
who applies.
Dan Vogel, owner of Foxcroft and Chateau Apartments,
said that there is presently a waiting list for one-bedroom
units, but he predicts there will be about 1 5-20 apartments
available during the next couple of months and that
students should apply for an apartment sometime between
now and the end of school.
"We've rented more apartments than ever during March
and April, and I believe we are going to have a shortage
come fall," Vogel said.
A spokesman for the Villages Apartments on Smith
Level Road said that an apartment will be reserved for
anyone who wants to move in between now and June 1, but
that there is a waiting list for August. The waiting list is so
long that it had to be cut off because few apartments will be
available in the fall.
Charlotte Kilpatrick, manager of Northampton Plaza,
a high-rise close to campus, said that the turnover there
varies f rom year to year and that there are several vacancies
now. They do have a waiting list, and the biggest problem is
the large number of requests for unfurnished apartments.
Most of the Northampton apartments are furnished.
Other places with long waiting lists include Kings Arms,
Carolina, Camelot, Glen Lennox and Colony Apartments.
Most of these places are still taking applications.
turno
Cedar Court apartment complexes.
The referendum was also defeated 4-2 in
Dogwood acres.
After the North Carrboro results were
posted, several opponents of the referendum
burst into a loud cheer and applause. ..
Former Carrboro Mayor Robert Welfs, a
member of Allied Citizens, said, "The final
vote represents the taxpayers and citizens
who think enough of the community to list
and pay their personal property taxes."
Wells had been critical of students who
supported the referendum without paying
Carrboro property taxes.
"The bus referendum is like a ballgame,"
Wells said, "One, two, three strikes...you're
out!"
Two previous bus referendums in 1971
and 1973 were also defeated.
Wells said the bus issue may come up
again because there is a good deal of public
support for it, but that the voters had shown
they did not want to pay a high cost for the
bus extension.
Hunt files for re-election;
says money major issue
facing General Assembly

Patricia S.
(Trish) Hunt, D
Orange, a leading
supporter of the
Equal Rights
Amendment
(ERA) in the 1975
76 N.C. General
Assembly,
officially filed for
re-election to the
N.C. House of
Representatives
Tuesday.
She is the first candidate to file in the race
for the two seats in the 17th District, which
includes Orange and Chatham counties. The
filing period ends May 28. The primary will
be August 17.
Hunt said she is hopeful the 1977 General
Assembly will pass ERA. "But I'm also
practical," she added. "It depends on who's
elected. We thought we had the votes last
time."
More women will probably be elected to
the General Assembly this year than last
election year, but the fact that a legislator is a
woman does not insure a vote for ERA, she
said.
The major issue of the 1977 General
Assembly will be money, with essential
services receiving top priority in funding,
Hjmt predicted.
She cited both higher education and
public education as important budget items.
Money for the state's kindergarten program
is essential because two-fifths of the state's
five-year-olds have not been able to take
advantage of the program yet, she said. "It

Carrboro Alderman Ernest Patterson, a
member of the town transportation board
and a supporter of the referendum, said he
did not know why students did not vote in
large numbers.
. "What can you. say when you lose?" he
said.
Doug Sharer, who had worked closely
with the Coalition and SART, said that
students either did not register for the
referendum of failed to see its importance.
"The conservative population had a
maximum of 900 voters, and 770 voted
against the referendum. They exercised a
high percentage of their vote," Sharer said.
He added that although approximately
half of all Carrboro's adult population either
work at or attend the University, they
represented only one-third of the total
registered voters.
Sharer said the Coalition and SART
campaigns for the passage of the referendum
were well organized, but that it is difficult to
campaign effectively in a transient
community.
funding at this point," she said.
"We've got to look strongly at where we
can cut money," she said, but that as little as
possible will be trimmed from the
educational budget because so much was cut
there during the last legislative session.
The East Carolina University Medical
School is something the state can't afford,"
Hunt noted. The General Assembly will also
have to study long-range plans for the state's
community college system, tecb-Scal
institutes and institutions of higher learning,
she said.
"Higher education is burgeoning out in a
way that is costing the state money, and we
want to make sure that programs are not
being duplicated."
She cited the Department of Human
Resources as one area where budget cuts
might be made. "Welfare programs are not
working nationally or statewide." Hunt said.
"We've got to decide what can and should be
cut."
The structure of both higher education
and public education in North Carolina
must also be reviewed by the 1977 General
Assembly. Hunt said.
The state must decide whether to continue
the present system of appointing members to
the Board of Education and electing a
superintendent in a statewide election or
changing to a system of electing board
members and appointing a superintendent.
Hunt said. She favors the present system.
In the area of higher education. Hunt said
the 1977 General Assembly will consider the
viability of the Board of Governors as a
means of governing the 16-mcmber,
statewide system of higher education.
A tuition increase is not likely during the
May legislative session. Hunt said; arid a
tuition increase has already been rejected by
the General Assembly's Appropriations
Conference Committee.
