u serum
here next week

North Carolina should receive its first shipment of swine flue vaccine next
week, J.N. MacCormack, director of the State Health Service, said
Monday.
The vaccine will be administered free of charge to students at the Student
Health Service and for a nominal fee at the North Carolina Memorial
Hospital and private physicians' offices.
The allotment for UNC students, which will come from Orange County's
7,600-dose first shipment, will be determined when the vaccine arrives,
according to Dr. James A. Taylor, director of the Student Health Service.
Two types of flu vaccine will be available . A bivalent vaccine for the
Victoria and New Jersey FIus will be given to people over age 60 and those
with diabetes, pneumonia, and kidney ailments.
Healthy persons ages 18 to 60 will be inoculated with a monovalent serum
for the New Jersey flu.
The vaccine was to be distributed in the state by United Parcel Service
(UPS). But, because of a nationwide UPS strike, the serum may be delivered
by state and county health officials or by another commercial carrier.
-Flu season in North Carolina runs from September through February,
and hits in different counties and towns. "It (the flu) can hit one county two
or three weeks before it hits another county 50 miles away," MacCormack
said.
The New Jersey strain was first isolated in January when several hundred
servicemen at Ft. Dix, N.J. were infected. "The strain developed when the
flu was passed from pigs to humans to humans instead of just from pigs to
pigs," MacCormack said. Victoria Flu was also found among the
servicemen.
"It (the new strain) got everybody upset because there is very little natural
immunity in the general population. The impetus gave rise to the nationwide
swine flu movement," MacCormack said.
Federal officials had originally planned to have enough vaccine to
inoculate the entire population beginning in July.
"Cutbacks and delays resulted because of legal entanglements with
insurance companies over who was to be responsible for the vaccine,"
MacCormack said. Final approval came August 10 when Congress
relieved insurance companies of possible liability claims.
Statewide, health officials will be prepared to inoculate 65 per cent of the
18-60 age group and 100 per cent of the over-60 and chronically ill group.
"No one really anticipates that 100 per cent of the population is going to
take the vaccine," MacCormack said. Coupled with the Congressional
directive prohibiting vaccine manufacturers from making a profit,
MacCormack said the manufacturers are not making more serum than the
predictions say the general public will request.
! A similar flu virus in 1918-19 killed 500,000 Americans and 20 million
people worldwide.
"There is very little evidence to indicate the New Jersey virus is the same
virus as the 1918 epidemic period, except they both seem to be related to the
swine flu virus," MacCormack said.

University Lake gets
little relief from rain;
level up by one inch

Light rain Sunday and Monday didn't do much for the level of University Lake, but
this trio near the Union made the most of it. The chance of showers continues today.

Scattered rainfall totaling .20 inches on
Sunday provided little relief to Chapel Hill's
continuing water crisis.
Claiborne S. Jones, UNC vice-chancellor
of business and finance, said Monday
afternoon that University Lake's water level
increased by one inch during the weekend.
Jones also said that the town's water
consumption for Saturday increased over
the previous Saturday, when the Carolina
Northwestern football game was played in
Chapel Hill.
University Lake stood at 61.5 inches
below capacity Monday, compared with
readings of 62.5 inches on Sunday and 62.25
on Saturday.
Consumption on Saturday totaled 3.9
million gallons, compared with 3.6 million
gallons consumed on the previous Saturday.
Sunday's consumption figure was 3.6 million
gallons.
The town continues to depend heavily on
water from Durham, particularly on
weekends.
"We have no problem getting all the water
we want from Durham on Saturday and
Sunday," Jones said. "But Monday through
Friday they have to adjust to their own
demands in Durham.".
Jones said he was surprised that the lake
level increased by as much as one inch.
"There must have been more widespread
rain over the 35 mile drainage area that
supplies University Lake," he said.
He added that the water crisis facing the
town is essentially unchanged. "The
situation is not substantially changed, but
the rain will help people's lawns and gardens
a great deal."
Sunday's rainfall was the first recorded
accumulation since Sept. 16, when the
Chapel Hill area received .22 inches of rain.

Artist William O'Farrow wants to save the Do Your Own Thing Theatre in Durham for its historically significant murals.
by Susan Cranford
DTH Contributor
Durham's Urban Renewal program may
be tearing down more than just old buildings
this fall.
According to artist William O'Farrow,
three wall-sized murals are about to be
destroyed along with the Do Your Own
Thing Theatre on East Pettigrew Street in
Durham.
The murals, one 12 by 36 feet and two 18
by 30 feet, were painted by O'Farrow in
1969-1970 to "capture the hopes, dreams and
frustrations of the Black Nationalist
movement."
O'Farrow and other area residents are
mounting a campaign to save the three
murals by taking them down and placing
them in the public schools. Between $3,000
and $10,000 would be needed for the job,
depencjmv on the amount of technical
expertise -tised and the amount of materials
needed to restore the murals once they are
remounted.
"We're concerned that the history of this
era may not be honestly portrayed by
establishment historians," O'Farrow said.
"These murals can show future generations
what young blacks were
feeling . . . protest, awakening of
consciousness, black history and black
identity."
O'Farrow, an art teacher at Brogden
Junior High School in Durham, spent three
months working on the murals. Art experts
called in to evaluate the value of the
paintings unanimously agreed that the
murals should be saved because of their
historical and artistic significance.
The theatre that houses the murals has a
long history for Durham's black community.
It was first used during the early 1900s and
has since been used for activities varying
from 1930s jazz musicians to local creative
drama organized by Operation
Breakthrough.
A benefit to raise money for the project
will be held Saturday, Oct. 16 at the Durham
YWCA on Chapel Hill Street.
The benefit will begin with an arts and
crafts auction from 2 to 4 p.m. Starting at 8
p.m., a musical benefit and dance featuring
jazz, rock and soul groups from the Triangle
area will be held.
The benefit is sponsored by the People's
Alliance in cooperation with the Durham
Arts Council, the Durham Arts Guild and
North Carolina Central University.
a pact with the Jews, giving them rights
to the land of Palestine.
McDowell said that halfway through
the pact, the dictator will double-cross
the Jews and unless God intervenes, all
of humanity will be destroyed.
McDowell said the dictator will use
economic power to take control.
"People used to laugh at this, but they
don't any longer. The puzzle of history
was literally dumped out onto the card
table, now the pieces are starting to be
put together."
McDowell cited Biblical references
stating that four great powers will have
formed by the time dictator emerges. He
concluded that the Soviet Union, Arab
countries, China and Europe are these
powers.
McDowell quoted the Bible in
describing that an increase in the
number of wars and victims of wars
would foretell the seven-year period. He
then quoted statistics to prove that the
20th Century is the most war-scarred
period in history. "We know more about
killing people today than saving
people."
"If I wanted to scare you, I would give
my talks on the weapons that exist
today."
McDowell also said an increase in the
number of earthquakes would precede
the seven-year period.
McDowell quoted a Biblical passage
which states "all eyes will look upon"
two prophets that will appear during the
seven-year period. He concluded that
television would fulfill the prophesy.
McDowell will conclude his lecture
series with "Maximum Sex or Is Love
Still Possible in the Junkie World
Today," tonight at 8 p.m. in Carmichael
Auditorium"! will share with you how
to put the passion back into it," he said.
In
-state status available after fighting red tape
by Elizabeth Swaringen
Staff Writer
Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part
series examining the requirements for obtaining
North Carolina residency status.
In July 1973, The East Carolina University
business office turned down Rob Luisana's
request for North Carolina residency for tuition
purposes, because his application "lacked
sufficient information."
But Luisana said he answered every question
in detail. He appeared before the Residence
Status Appeals Committee and in December
1973, was granted instate residence. He also
received a refund for the out-of-state tuition he
had paid from the time he submitted his
application until his residence status was
changed.
Like most students, Luisana was able to gain
in-state residence status through administrative
channels, rather than by going to court, but only
after persistently fighting red tape.
"When the business office turned me down,
even though my application was completed in
detail, I think they were trying to discourage me,
and hoped that I would feel like I didn't have a
chance," Luisana said. "But I didn't give up that
easy."
State law dictates that to secure classification
as a North Carolina resident for tuition
purposes, a person must "establish that his or her
presence in the state currently is, and during the
requisite 12-month qualifying period was, for
purposes of maintaining a bona fide domicile
rather than of maintaining a mere temporary
residence or abode incident to enrollment in an
institution of higher education."
In Luisana's case he had to declare Greenville
his permanent home and physically live there for
12 months, during which time he completed
formalities to build a residency case.
From the beginning of the one-year residence
period, Luisana gave his Greenville address
when answering both written and oral inquiries
as to his permanent residency.
"The first thing I . did was go to the county
courthouse and file personal property tax,"
Luisana said. "The assessment said I owed
approximately $7 in taxes, but the processing fee
was $20 so the tax office decided it wasn't worth
the trouble and gave me a voucher as evidence
that I had filed."
Luisana then applied for a North Carolina
driver's license, which he was granted without
difficulty.
Luisana then registered to vote, again without
problems. "It also helps to declare membership
in some North Carolina political association at
this time to re-enforce one's desire to establish
residence," Luisana explained.
Finally Luisana collected written statements
from persons in the community to whom he had
expressed honest intentions of staying in North
Carolina.
"I had discussed graduate school and various
job opportunities with some neighbors and all
they had to do was confirm it in writing,"
Luisana said.
Luisana noted that holding a part-time job
also strengthened his case, as did staying in
North Carolina over the summer rather than
returning to his parents' home.
"Going home over the summer should not bar
you from gaining residence but it is a fact that the
administration and the courts have denied
residency on this basis," Luisana said.
The criteria that the residence committees use
in granting residence stems from a 1972 case
known as Hall vs. N.C. Board of Elections. The
case involved a student who desired to switch
residence for voting purposes from New Bern to
Raleigh. It did not involve an out-of-state
student.
Although they are not law, the precedents
operate on the basis that students are different
people than regular citizens when applying for
residence and the committees have a right to ask
"reasonable questions." The burdens of proof
rest on the student and as in Luisana's case, the
committees presumed Greenville was a
temporary residence for educational purposes.
After Luisana had completed all the
formalities, he was subjected to "reasonable
questioning" from the committees. But Luisana
discovered what increasing numbers of UNC
students are finding out the "reasonable
questions" turn into totally unreasonable ones
all too quickly.
Tomorrow: the "unreasonable questions."
