Smith Building cellar houses various items of APO lost & found 1l Thursday, March 24, 1977 The Daily Tar Heel 3 3 C By KATHY HART Staff Writer Long johns, birth control pills, umbrellas and glasses are just a few items that can be found in the basement of Smith Building. Alpha Phi Omega (APO), a national service fraternity, maintains a University-sanctioned lost-and-found department in the basement.' " APO members check each campus building weekly for items lost by students or found by maintenance workers. People call APO and report finding articles, and the campus police also turn in items they have found. APO keeps a file of articles that have been found and of articles people are looking for. "We have huge mountains of keys, IDs, driver's licenses," said Stacie Hoolenberg, an APO member. "Every winter we have 500 mittens. We also have a wealth of umbrellas and sweaters." APO keeps inexpensive items such as sweaters and mittens for about a year before giving them to the PTA Thrift Shop. "A girl came in the other day three months ago, and it was here with the $35 she had lost with it still there," Hoolenberg said. If a wallet contains identification, an APO member will try to contact the person who lost it, she said. More valuable items such as watches and jewelry are kept for longer periods, sometimes as long as five years. "They are not ours, and we don't know what to do with them," Hoolenberg said. "About a year ago, we took the watches and jewelry we had kept for several years and sold them to a local jeweler with the profits going to the Campus Chest." Many students do not realize that the lost-and-found department exists, but APO places posters in various buildings around campus several times a year to let students know about the service they provide. "The best thing to do when you lose something" Hoolenberg said, "is to check the building where you think you lost the item, come by the lost-and- found department,' or check with the Fiie Arts, festive.

Another 45 days will be used to transmit the guidelines to the six states, then the universities will have 60 days to submit their plans, based on the guidelines. Winston said negotiations between HEW and the LDF on the criteria of the guidelines are continuing. Elliott C. Lichtman, chief counsel for the LDF, said he has submitted proposals to Judge Pratt, but that Pratt asked him not to discuss their details. looking for a wallet she had lost two or campus police State plans to improve prisons to avoid federal takeover By LIZ HUSKEY Staff Writer North Carolina prison officials are making plans for improving conditions in the state's prison system to avoid a federal takeover. Eddie Knox, chairperson of the legislative commission on correctional programs, told legislators recently that improvements would have to be made to avoid a federal takeover on grounds of violating prisoners rights to humane treatment guaranteed in the Eighth Amendment. Knox, a former . state senator from Charlotte, is outlining plans to aid the prison reforms. If improvements aren't made, Knox said, "We're going to be in a hell of a mess." He added that any improvements would be viewed as a "good faith" gesture that could ward off federal involvement in the state's prisons. Lee Bounds, former commissioner of correction at Central Prison, said he pointed out these same deficiencies to courts seven years ago. At the time, Alabama and Arkansas prisons were facing charges of unconstitutionality in their inhumane treatment of prisoners."

Serving Lunch and Dinner Across from Glen Lennox Shopping Center 942-5153 "I said then we've got the same deficiencies in our system," said Bounds, a UNC Kenan professor of criminal justice. "What he (Knox) is saying is that time is running out on us." Officials- indicated that overcrowding was one of the most serious problems faced in the prisons. Systems designed to hold 10,000 inmates now contain as many as 14,000 inmates, and prison officials are planning on an inmate population of 16,000 by July 1. The inmate population for January exceeded the projected population for 1978, said W. L. Kaufzky, assistant prison director. "We were buying beds every week. We even considered, if you can believe this, going to three-tier bunks. But that would have put the guys 10 feet off the floor, so we just can't do it." The only relief in sight appears to be some modular units ordered by Gov. James B. Hunt Jr.'s administration and reactivating two long-abandoned cellblocks from the old part of Central Prison. The modular units would provide space for about 1,500 minimum-custody inmates, and through transfers and unit classification, officials hope to provide space for another 650 medium-custody inmates. Central Prison's previously abandoned cell blocks are part of a system which was to be torn down in 1965 following a move to the newly built facilities, Bounds said. Bounds said he ordered removal of the prisons from the old system, which was one of open dormitories. Bounds said a place is needed "where an individual could spend the night in relative security." Knox also outlined in his recommendations a need for more single cells to protect inmates against assaults. According to Knox there is a need for improvement of poor conditions. "We don't owe them a hotel, but something decent a decent place to go to the bathroom, to take a bath," he said. Recreational facilities are among items to be improved in prisons. Present facilities, especially in the field units or road camps, are not adequate, according to prison officials. Bounds said that few recreational facilities exist in road camps, which originally were designed only to house the prisoners when they were not out working on the roads. The only work relief provided was in horseshoe games, visiting at the prison fence and religious services in the dining hall on Sundays. He said in some camps a television has been added, and various small games are allowed in the areas between bunks. "There is very little space or provision for recreation in these facilities," Bounds said. "Buildings have improved little from the original structures. We need to make large investments in raising the level of prison construction standards." Prison officials also are developing plans to get support from the National Guard to provide an increase in security. "This would not be an advisable plan," Bounds said. "1 would resist that myself. 1 would try many other things before using enforcers not trained for that sort of security." He added that prison guards need to be specially trained, and the National Guard is not trained for this type of security. Knox advocated changes in sentencing procedures, saying that felonies should be classified, the parole board should be abolished and inmates should know when they go to jail how long they will stay. Asked if HEW and the LDF have had trouble agreeing on the proposals, Lichtman replied, "You can infer that." Lichtman said Pratt will make a ruling to accept one set of proposals or the other, or he may make a set of his own. A spokesperson for Judge Pratt said the proposals have been taken under advisement. The judge, he said, could rule on them tomorrow or in six months. This action stems from a lawsuit filed in 1972 by the LDF demanding that the University of North Carolina and other schools comply with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. That provision says that schools that continue to discriminate on the basis of race or national origin be denied federal aid. The University of North Carolina's desegregation plan was approved by HEW in 1974. According to the system's report to the U.S. Office of Civil Rights, the system exceeded its desegregation goal for the fall 1975 semester. However, three predominantly black schools of the 16-member system failed to meet their desegregation goals: Elizabeth City State University, Fayetteville State University and N.C. Central University. President Friday, however, has said that he would have to oppose any new regulations that would severely modify the system's present desegregation plani MEMO: TO YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHERS SUBJECT: TURNING YOUR CAMERA INWARD When we talk of "turning your camera inward," we do not mean self-portraits.
