Answers to 'unreasonable questions' can kill in-state
by Elizabeth Swaringen
Staff Writer
Editor's note: This article is the
second of a two-part series examining
the requirements for obtaining North
Carolina residency status.
Establishing a case seeking North
Carolina residency is relatively simple,
but proving that case requires patience,
persistence and the ability to tactfully
answer "unreasonable questions."
Increasing numbers of UNC students
are seeking North Carolina residence to
avoid the high cost of out-of-state
tuition. For the current academic year,
out-of-state students pay $1,900 in
tuition per year while their in-state
counterparts pay $256.
"Changing residence is not the kind of
situation with a checklist where if
everything qualifies then the students
Planners to examine
sorority house permit
by Laura Seism
Staff Writer
A request for a special-use permit by the
Delta Delta Delta sorority for property at
407 E. Franklin St.' was forwarded to the
Planning Board by the Chapel Hill Board of
Aldermen Monday night.
The property is located in the Chapel Hill
Historic Conservation District adjacent to
the old Phillips Law Office on the corner of
Franklin and Hillsborough Streets. The
property has frontage on Franklin,
Hillsborough and Rosemary Streets.
Tri-Delta sorority plans to use the three
houses on the site as a residence for 45 of its
members. The structures are now used as
boarding and apartment houses.
The sorority is now located at 210
Pittsboro St. Approximately 20 members
live at the house.
Polly Warner, a spokesman for the Chapel
Hill Preservation Society, said the society
opposes granting the special-use permit until
an historic district ordinance has been
passed by the aldermen.
The ordinance would establish an historic
district conservation commission that would
approve plans for a"ny structural changes to
I property in the district. The commission
would also have a 90-day option to purchase
or secure a buyer for any property for sale in
the district.
"We would prefer to see a family own the
house," Warner said. "If a family cannot be
found, then a sorority would be.acceptable."
The sorority has proposed a 3,000-square-foot
addition of kitchen and dining room
facilities to the largest of the three structures.
Land for a parking lot would have to be
cleared.
Plans also call for extending the drive with
turning space for deliveries and garbage
pick-up and for cutting the existing curb by
20 feet, creating two lanes on Rosemary
Street.
Warner said the society is concerned
about the possibility that structural changes
to the houses will not comply with historic
district regulations. She said the society also
fears an increase in traffic and population
density.

intentions and the manifestations of
those intentions are automatically met,"
said Richard Baddour, assistant
director of the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions at UNC.
"No single action allows us to
conclude whether or not residence
should be granted. We have to consider
all surrounding circumstances the
student's behavior, thought and
conduct, weighing them all and then
making our decision," Baddour said.
"One must also understand that the
burdens of proof, are on the student as
we presume Chapel Hill is a temporary
residence for educational purposes."
Because the burdens of proof are on
the student, the committees have a right
to ask reasonable questions to
determine if the student should be
granted residency.
But according to Rob Luisana,
sorority's house corporation, said she does
npt feel that the sorority and the society are
"on opposite sides of the fence."
. The sorority's architect, Gary Giles, told
the aldermen' Monday night that the
proposed changes would comply with the
rest of the historic district. --
A written outline of the sorority's plans
stated, "The sorority is equally sensitive to
the desires of the town to preserve the
character of that section of town. With this
in mind all proposed changes have been
made compatible with the neighborhood
and with the existing structures."
Sorority members have met with the
historical society to discuss their property
plans.
"We're still very much in the negotiation
stage, and all we have done is go apply for a
special-use permit, which is required for all
sororities and fraternities," Oldenburg said.

Mirex, a controversial ant poison and
possible cancer-causing substance,
produces cataracts in newborn rats and
mice when the rodents are exposed to
the pesticide shortly after birth, the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) revealed Tuesday.
EPA research scientists said the
substance could have human health
implications, but they warned that
treatment of Mirex as a health hazard
will require more study.
The substance has been under
investigation for the past three years by
Neil Chernoff, research teratologist,
Thomas Scotti, research pathologist
and Ralph E. Linder, research biologist
with the EPA located in Research
Triangle Park.
"What we found out," Chernoff said,
"is that if you give Mirex to female rats

Patience ensures best sex
by Robin Clark
Staff Writer
Josh McDowell thrives on spectacle.
Although the boyish, 37-year-old evangelist
insists it was an aide, not he, who coined the
phrase "Maximum Sex," Josh exploits it.
That two-word enticement on the Union
cube, coupled with the name Josh, was
enough to lure an estimated 3,000 students,
faculty and townspeople to Carmichael
Auditorium Tuesday night to hear more.
What they heard, however, was not the
lust-crazed instructions of a touring
nymphomaniac as one might expect.
Instead, they heard Josh, the favorite son of
the Campus Crusade for Christ, tell them
that Christ was the answer to maximum sex.
Mixing scripture with a generous measure
of first-date antecdotes, from his early years.
Josh told his audience:
"Maximum sex depends on three
dimensions of oneness with your partner
physical oneness, soulish or psychological
oneness and spiritual oneness.
"If even one dimension is missing, you
have a watered-down relationship."
The purest love, and the best sex. Josh
said, is selfless.
"The whole world could experience
maximum sex if it weren't so self-centered,"
Josh said. "Love can't wait to give. Lust can't
wait to get."
Encouraging his college audience to
"wait" until they were married to have sex.
Josh said that only patience can insure
maximum enjoyment.
former East Carolina student body
president who successfully changed his
residence status, the "reasonable
questions" turn into "totally
unreasonable" ones.
"I think asking such questions is an
unconstitutional invasion of privacy,"
said John Brooks, the Democratic
candidate for state labor commissioner
who supported Luisana even though his
case did not go to court.
"The first question the committees
ask is Did you come here to get an
education? and if you answer 4yes' they
declare that you are not a permanent
resident but are only changing residence
for tuition purposes," Lusiana said.
"But if you honestly claim your intent
was to establish a home independent
from your parents with education as a
secondary intent, the committees
continue with other questions."

that have just given birth, there is a
sufficient quantity that is passed to the
pup in the maternal milk to induce
cataracts in many of the pups. These
cataracts are present when the eyes
open, which is about 12 days after
birth." .
During the course of the study,
between 400 and 500 litters of rats were
tested. After exposure, cataracts
appeared in the offspring as white area
in the lens, sufficiently large enough to
be visible without the aid of
instrumentation.
Although the study showed that
Mirex does not produce birth defects
when administered to pregnant animals,
the study does raise the question of
whether early exposure to a chemical
which produces cataracts may lead to
greater susceptibility to cataracts later
in life.
For the past five years, the EPA has
considered banning Mirex because it
"Any person who goes through life
expecting immediate satisfaction can never
experience sex the way God intended it to be
experienced," Josh said.
Josh said Jesus Christ had given him the
"capacity to give without demanding
something in return," and encouraged
everyone to accept the selfless way of Christ
to ensure unconditional love and maximum
sex.
Responding to what he called . the
"pressure in college to put out." Josh asked
the women in the audience:
"If you love me, you'll let me. Have you
ever heard that one?
"Well, if you say no, and he persists, he
doesn't love you. 1 cannot comprehend the
disrespect that goes under the name of love.
It's your body, your mind. 1 would think you
girls would get tired of being Miss American
Meat Pie, even in this Bicentennial year."
Finally, Josh said that a person who can't
control himself before marriage won't be
able to control himself afterwards, and
control, "bringing the woman to a sexual
level where she can achieve maximum
enjoyment," is what maximum sex is all
about.
"How far should you go? To the knuckles?
To the wrist? To the elbow? To the ... " Then
Josh clears his throat.
"H ow far you will go depends on what you
want out of life, out of love, oilt of sex and
out of marriage. But 1 warn you, once you set
your standard, beware the law of
diminishing returns- the more you get. the
more it will take to satisfy you."
"The follow with 'Did you visit your
parents over vacation?' which is
ridiculous because even working people
return home to visit their parents when
on vacation," Luisana continued. "But
there have been cases where this has
been used against students, and it could
have gone to court.
"It is unfair to ask if one's parents
contributed to one's education because
some students get high-paying jobs
during the summer that allow them to
pay their entire way, whereas other
students find lower paying jobs and
have to rely on their parents for
financial support," Luisana said.
"To bar residency on this account is
again ridiculous.
"The committees also ask what
personal possessions the student left at
home if any, and which ones were

has been suspected of causing cancer. A
very persistant chemical with an
extraordinary life in the environment,
Mirex also kills shrimp in extremely low
concentrations.
The substance is being used to control
the fire ant, a pest which now infests 133
million acres in nine southern states,
reaching from Florida to Texas. The fire
ant has not reached North Carolina, but
it is in South Carolina and its range is
spreading.
The fire ant resembles ordinary house
and garden ants, but it poses a threat to
farmers.
"It's not that that's the one pesticide
(used in killing fire ants), but that has
been the pesticide of choice, meaning,
that for a variety of reasons, it is the best
pesticide for that purpose," Chernoff
said.
"One factor -may be that it is more
easily placed on baits," Chernoff
explained. "It may be that it is more
toxic to the fire ant than other
pesticides."
Dr. Chernoff did not know if Mirex
would be banned in the future.
"You've got health implications," he
said. "On the one hand there are
scientists like myself doing experiments
which raise questions of possible
adverse human health implications.
"On the other hand there are public
health officials who will cite serious
injuries to human being as a result of fire
ant stings.
"Any final decision on this or any
other pesticide is a very complex, multi
factoral problem concerning health,
economic and environmental aspects."
The 1976 North Carolina Pesticide
Manual lists several chemicals that can
be used in killing fire ants, said Bob
Melhorn of the Orange County
Agricultural Extension Service. One of
those is Mirex.
"It is a restricted chemical," Melhorn
said. "You must have a pesticide license,
to buy it."
In another study recently released by
Edwin L. Johnson, deputy assistant
administrator for Pesticide Programs at
EPA in Washington, Mirex was found
in 37 of 120 samples of human fatty
tissue analyzed, which brings the
problem even closer to human health.
Johnson also confirmed that the EPA
has analyzed tests performed over the
past 18 months on rats at the National
Cancer Institute and draws the tentative
conclusion that Mirex was causing
cancer in test animals. The EPA is
currently awaiting the conclusions from
the institute's own cancer experts.
purchased in North Carolina, which is
really irrelevant," Luisana said.
"The questions are not to be asked, as
their answers are not needed to
determine in-state residence for tuition
purposes," Brooks said. The Raleigh
lawyer is currently supporting other
students now in the process of changing
their residence -status.
According to Brooks, a student
should qualify for in-state tuition if he
has resided in the state for one year as
required, with the intention of becoming
a resident, disregarding surrounding
questions.
Brooks said that applications for
admission ask 'Are you a resident for
tuition purposes?' and disregard the two
most important questions 'When did
you become a resident?' and 'Did you

The Chapel Hill Board of Alderman approved by consent Tuesday night a UNC
Student Government (SG) proposal for a campuswide glass and aluminum
recycling plan.
The board authorized $150 for the purchase of 100 55-gallon metal drums to be
placed at dormitories, central campus locations and sorority and fraternity houses.
Barbara High, chairperson of the SG's Environmental Awareness Program said
that she was "excited" about the board's approval.
"I think it shows that the board is genuinely concerned with the environment of
Chapel Hill and surrounding communities."
The board also authorized its attorney to challenge the plans of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers to impound water in the B. Everett Jordan Reservoir in
Chatham County.
The Corps filed a notice of intent to fill the lake Sept. 1 1 in U.S. Middle District
Court.
Chapel Hill backed efforts that helped block a similar motion by the Corps in
1973. Chapel Hill and Durham officials. have expressed concera thaUropounding
water in the reservoir would imposVslfingeht water treatment standards on the
towns' sewage plants.
The Corps has filed new reports declaring that water from the reservoir would be
of satisfactory quality.
District Court Judge Eugene A. Gordon is expected to hold hearings on the
matter after the 30-day period in which to file complaints with the court has expired.
Gordon has said he will render a decision by mid-January.
The board also allowed the sewer moratorium to expire Monday at midnight.
The moratorium, which prohibited additions to the Chapel Hill and Carrboro
waste treatment system, had been in effec since July 30.
Until a new sewer allocation policy is established, the town will permit only single
unit tap-ons in existing sewer areas. Any additional requests will be forwarded to
Raleigh for consideration by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM)
of the Department of Natural and Economic Resources (NER). DEM controls
waste treatment and air quality in North Carolina.
The board scheduled a public meeting to consider proposals for a permanent
sewer allocation policy. The meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Municipal
Building.

Brooks said he also believes the
University challenges the meaning of
'permanent' which "has nothing to do
with establishing residency for tuition
purposes."
The legal definition of permanency
means that one has no known intention
to reside somewhere other than Chapel
Hill in the future. According to Brooks,
the University considers permanency a
concise, for-the-present commitment
with no intention of indefinite Chapel
Hill residence.
"Thousands of people come to North
Carolina because their job transfers
them here, knowing full well that in two
years they more than likely will be
moved again," Brooks said. Yet the day
they come they are eligibile for
residency.
