County to have 3-digit emergency code
By MICHAEL WADE
SUIT Writer
Orange County residents will soon be
Me to get emergency rescue, fire or la
enforcement aid by dialing only three
digits on their telephones.
As soon as a new consolidated
communications system for the county is
installed, residents will be able to dial 91 1
to reach a dispatcher who can send an
appropriate emergency vehicle to any
location in the county.
Flo Garrett, public coordinator of the
Emergency Medical Service Council,
which has supervised the project's
implementation in Orange County, said
recently that the new system will provide
more efficient emergency service to the
entire county.
Garrett explained that better service
will result from a combination of three
features: quick citizen access because
only the one three-digit number will have
to be remembered; a team of trained
dispatchers who will operate out of a
central dispatcher's room equipped with
three consoles at the Chapel Hill Police
Department; and a new telemetry system
which will enable ambulance crews
trained in mobile intensive care to
provide more effective treatment to
patients before they reach the hospital.
Garrett said she hopes the equipment
for all three phases of the system can be
tested and installed by Jan. 1. However,
she emphasized that the target date is
tentative.
Garrett gave a report on the project at
the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen
meeting Monday night.

The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
voted unanimously last week to accept
the system if it is approved by Chapel Hill
and the county. Apparently, approval is
little more than a formality, since Garrett
said the equipment has already been
bought and partially installed.
The project will be operated solely by
Orange County, even though the
dispatchers will work in an enlarged,
console-equipped room in the Chapel
Hill Police Department Building. Eleven
dispatchers will be hired and paid by the
county.
First preference for dispatching jobs
will go to dispatchers already working for
the Chapel Hill and Carrboro police
departments and the Sheriffs
Department, Garrett said.
The dispatchers will be trained in use of
emergency medicine and in
familiarization with their territories.
Three dispatchers will work each shift.
Garrett said the dispatchers will be able
to give advice over the phone for
treatments of some patients before
emergency vehicles arrive. She added that
part of their training may include field
training with emergency vehicle crews.
Garrett said the installation of
telemetry equipment for communication
between ambulances and N.C. Memorial
Hospital is another important part of the
project. She said that with the new
equipment, ambulance crews will be able
to communicate with doctors at the
hospital. The new equipment also will
enable doctors at the hospital to read
cardiograms and other data from the
ambulances and advise treatment.
Garrett said such a system will greatly

patients such as heart attack victims.
Garrett said another part of the 911
telephone system which will be added
later is the ringback feature. The ringback
would mean that if a caller failed to give a
dispatcher all necessary information
before hanging up, the dispatcher would
be able to call him back immediately.
Garrett said Southern Bell Telephone
Co. has promised this feature will be
available by 1981.
Garrett said the project began several
years ago when Memorial Hospital and
the Orange rescue squad wanted to
improve communications. The
Emergency Medical Service Council
received a Robert Wood Johnson grant
. to fund the project. Orange and Chatham
counties received the grant jointly.
Chatham County is also installing an
emergency communications system.
UNC, British teams debate
porn vs. censorship
By ELIZABETH MESSICK
SUff Writer
A touring British debate team and two
members of the UNC Debate Team will
argue the merits of pornography and
censorship at 8 p.m. today in the Great Hall
of the Carolina Union.
The British debaters, whom UNC
forensics director Bill Balthrop termed the
best in Great Britain, will face David
Williams and Walker Smith, UNC debaters
ranked 13th in the nation last year.
Balthrop said students could expect
something a mite different from the British
debaters.
"There's a certain eloquence the British
bring to debate," Balthrop said. "It's a
different sort of speaking opportunity than
people in Chapel H ill normally hear, It's very
witty and humorous and involves a lot of
audience participation and interaction." .
R. Victoria Schofield, a 1977 graduate of
Oxford, and Philip Engelman, a graduate of
University College in London, are the British
debaters.
Schofield has written several articles for
English journals based on her travels in
Africa, North America and South America.

WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme
Court, giving a clue to its thinking, Monday
asked all parties in the Bakke "reverse
discrimination" case to submit their written
views on how a section of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act applies to it.
The court ordered extra briefs filed within
30 days regarding Title VI of the act, which
says no one may be excluded by reason of
race from participating in any program
receiving federal aid.
Government agencies, such as the
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare (HEW), are authorized under the
law to issue rules consistent with its
objectives.
In the Bakke case, the University of
California at Davis medical school is
appealing a California Supreme Court
ruling striking down its special admission
program, which reserves 16 percent of seats
in each entering class for disadvantaged
Engelman was president of the Debate
Society at University College and was
selected as the best individual debater in the
national British competition in 1975 and
1976. He is preparing to enter the bar in the
fall of 1978.
Williams and Smith will be the team
defending pornography. Williams is a
graduate student in speech communications.
Smith is a first-year UNC law student.
Both Williams and Smith reached the final
rounds of the national championship for
beginning college debaters during the first
year they debated here.
The British tour, in its 56th year, is
sponsored by the Speech Communication
Association, a national professional
organization. Each host team pays a portion
of the touring team's travel expenses and
provides lodging for the debaters. The
committee pays the remainder of the
expenses.
The exhibition debate tonight is one of 30
scheduled during the seven-week tour. The
British team has not debated here for four or
five years because they are so popular,
Balthrop said.
"The tour is limited while they're in the
States and is pretty much booked solid," he
said. "They are usually so much fun and so
good and draw such a good crowd that
universities have them back year after year.
"They're probably the best of the lot.
They're certainly entertaining."

successfully fought to preserve the Jockey's Ridge

The council also opposed the construction of a
water pipeline to the Outer Banks' community of
Avon in 1976,arguingthatthemovewould lead to

The CCNC also is urging that development of
Bald Head Islund be limited, because of the lack of
facilities to evacaute the island's inhabitants in the
event of a hurricane.
Two of the CCNC's priorities are the passage of
a packaging act in the N.C. legislature and
discouraging nuclear power in the state.

packaging bill, which would tax all new
packaging."
The CCNC's arguments against nuclear power
are based on skepticism about the ability to store
nuclear wastes safely and power companies' future
prices for nuclear-produced electricity.
No nuclear wastes have been permanently
stored and the materials remain at the individual
nuclear plants, Sharp says. President Carter hat
said that the wastes cannot remain at the planti
after 1985.
"IF THEY'V E been looking for a way to store
wastes for 30 years and still haven't found one yet,
1 think it's time to ask some questions," she says.
Sharp also questions the power companies'
figures on the cost of nuclear power. The
companies say the cost of nuclear power it 1 1 mills
(l.l cents) per kilowatt, at opposed to 1 J mills per
i. '.i . f i i a I ...i
The price charged for nuclear power, however,
will need to include the cost of transporting and
storing the wastes and restoring the land used for
storage. Sharp says.
"We estimate that once these factors are
included, the cost of nuclear power will be more
like $0 mills per kilowatt," she says. "If it will really
cost that much, is it right for our children to have
to pay for this?"
"Sweden uses half as much energy (per capita)
as we do and lives just fine," she says. "In this
country to oppose development it to oppose
progress."
THE CCNC plans to grow and retain its
environmental-watchdog role. "I've been involved
with a lot of conservation groups," Sharp says,
"and the Conservation Council is by far the
bravest of them all."
