C!osed-out dorm dwellers
ponder lottery alternatives
By CHIP HIGHSMITH
Staff Writer
Many students involved in 'the recent
random drawing for University housing
were disappointed with the results 340
students were closed out in 19 dorms but
many say they think the system is the fairest
method of selecting dorm residents.
Last year was the first time a random
drawing was used to select dorm residents.
Before, students waited in line, sometimes
overnight, to sign up with their residence
directors.
"1 think the lottery v is the most fair
system," said Marshall Bowden, a freshman
closed out of Alexander. "I think it gives
everyone an even chance." Most students
interviewed agreed with Bowden.
But not all. "1 believe in the survival of the
fittest," said freshman Steve Jacobson, who
was closed out of Connor Dorm. "1 think
that if someone really wants to get back in
the dorm they should wait in line for it. I
would have waited eight hours to get back in
the dorm.
"People that didn't really care about
getting back in the dorm got back in. People
who really helped the dorm participated in
intramurals, worked in the dorm
government got kicked out. 1 think they
should decide the dorm space using the
perserverance method."
Another freshman from Connor dorm.
Roy Gallinger, suggested a new method:
"We should have a point system for the
things you do in the dorm, so that what you
do for the dorm determines your priority in
getting back in."
Other dorm residents had more
suggestions for improving the way students
are selected for the limited space in
dormitories.
"If they raised the deposit for rooms high
enough, it might discourage people who
didn't really care whether they got in the
dorm," senior Richard Liebman said.

Cut in bus hours, routes expected
ii fia
45-; mmmmmmmsm
The city of Chapel Hill probably will cut bus
service 9.000 operating hours and eliminate the N
. Route next year, interim Transportation Director
John Bartosiewic said at a public hearing of the
Transportation Board Wednesday night.
The Transportation Board has submitted four
policy options for transportation operations to the
Board of Alderman. Aldermen are expected to
select a policy within a month after it has received
recommendations from Town Manager Kurt
Jenne.
"Option II is similar to the current level of
service." Bartosiewic? said. He said the option
offers good peak service with an average 20 to 45-
minuie headway.
This alternative would cost $990,000 and has an
estimated ridership of 1.6 million persons. The
present system costs $955,000 and has 1.8 million
riders.
Bartosiewic said the deletion ol the N Route
which services the Morgan Creek area will cut
costs. He said the 40 to 50 rides daily on the route
are not worth the $24,000 spent on maintaining
the route.
Plans for 17 bus shelters also were presented at
the hearing.
The planned shelter sites are Highway 54 By-
Pass at Kingswood West drive and another at the
east drive. Gomains Avenue and Sykes Street,
Bolinwood Loop, Airport Road and Barclay
Road (Jflkin Hills Apartments), Hillsborough
Street at Bolinwood Drive, Caswell Road at Estes
Drive, Curtis Road and Lakeshore Drive, Booker
Creek Road. Foxcroft Apartments. Pinegate
Apartments, Ephesus Church Road at Colony
Apartments, Hillview Road at Valley Park Drive.

Emotions ran high furing dorm lotteries
Tuesday.
Building a new dorm would take care of
the problem, said Lisa Gerahty. a resident of
Alexander Dorm. "But with enrollment
dropping in colleges they won't build any
more dorms. They would rather screw you
than risk getting screwed themselves."

and Bones. It is an honorary for UNC
students, and faculty members of the Chapel
Hill community.
"The order is based on the Greek legend of
Jason and the search for the Golden Fleece,"
said Cathy Rosenthal. Jason (president) of
the order. Selection is based on devotion to
the University, a striving for excellence and
concern for the w elfare of others. Rosenthal
said. '
"It's a very special, mystical kind of
ceremony." Rosenthal said. "You are tapped
in front of your peers, and most people are
very surprised.
"1 n the old days, the whole campus would
go to Memorial Hall to see their peers who
were tapped. It was a very big occasion.4'
"The scope of it has changed as the
campus became bigger, more diversified,'"
Rosenthal said. She stressed that she would
like to see the entire campus attending the
ceremonies again in the future.
She said the order tries "to be cognizant of
things going on within the University. I think
it's very important that it does go beyond an
honor."
The Fleece is the behind-the-scenes
sponsor of many projects, Rosenthal said,
although most persons are not aware of its
activities. For example, she explained,
several years ago the order sponsored an
"analysis of the honor code. "We try tdTook
around and see what needs to be done,"
Rosenthal said.
Since its establishment at UNC in 1903,
fewer than 1,000 persons have been tapped
into the order.
Well-known members of the order, called
Argonauts after Jason's followers in the
legend, include Tom Wicker, Charles
Kuralt, Clifton Daniel, Lou Harris, Charlie
Justice, and Susie Sharpe.
