Oldest black frat celebrates By THOMAS JESSIMAN Staff Writer The Mu Zeta chapter of UN C's Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity is celebrating its founding at the University with "Back to Basics" week. Two of the fraternity's major concerns in the week are to raise money for its scholarship program and for the United Negro College Fund. Alpha Phi Alpha was establihsed at UNC on April 15, 1976. Founded at Cornell University in 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha is the oldest black fraternity in the country. Kenneth Hill, the Mu Zeta chapter's president, said. "Back in 1906, the birth of our fraternity, was an important event in black history in this country." Originally boasting a membership of only seven men, the fraternity today has more than 80,000 members worldwide. We have over 254 college chapters and 256 alumni chapters," Hill said. "Our fraternity has chapters throughout the United States as well as Europe, the West Indies, Vietnam and the Virgin Islands. "One of our fraternity's goals for this year is to raise a million dollars for the United Negro College Fund. The proceeds from a party our chapter held last Friday night went to the fund." CAU publishes guide to cameras, By CHUCK BURNS Staff Writer Just in time for the Christmas rush, the Student Consumer Action Union has come out with "Sight and Sound," a camera and stereo guide to help shoppers make those important and expensive gift decisions. The guide is split into two sections with the first being on cameras and the second on stereos. Both sections have a preface to introduce the reader to the items and tell him what to look for, how to buy, stores and their services, guarantees that can be expected and store hours. The guide covers stores in the Chapel Hill area, some in Durham and a few in Raleigh. Good sales prompt $2 'Yack 9 refunds By PAM HILDEBRAN Staff Writer Stand in line to get money? Subscribers to the 1977-78 Yackety Yack had the chance Tuesday to get a $2 refund because of a budget surplus of $10,000. "Usually, yearbook budgets are real tight and you go over," said Betsey Burke, last year's managing editor. "The surplus was due to good management and good sales." Classes Editor Phyllis Clawson said the 1976-77 budget ran over and they had to borrow money from the '77-'78 budget. At 3 p.m. Tuesday, approximately 1,000 students had picked up their refunds, or about one-fourth of the persons who had bought yearbook subscriptions, Clawson said. , "We've had people to come to pick up their money who haven't even picked up their books yet," Burke said.

Also at the meeting the brothers decided to continue to encourage full voting registration in the spring as they have this term. Last Friday, a banquet and reception was attended by the chapter's graduate school members and sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. "Other than deciding what we wanted to do for the rest of the semester." Hill said, "the point of the evening was to commemorate 72 years of scholarship, leadership and service. Our chapter funds two students every year; one is a sophomore and the other is a high school senior." Hill said the chapter visits high schools in Orange County and talks to their guidance counselors. "Once the students have been accepted somewhere, then their case goes before our scholarship review board." Hill said. "As far as the sophomore scholarship, we go to the office of Student Affairs, Dean (Hayden B.) Renwick's office and Student Aid. Then we can decide whom to award the scholarship to." The Mu Zeta chapter has been involved in a number of social service "The booklet is a technical guide as well as a physical guide," said Dan Coleman, vice chairperson of SCAU. "It's a guide to compare stores as well as items and components." The camera , section emphasizes information on 35mm cameras, because, Coleman said, due to student interest there is a greater need for information on the 35mm camera than any other camera. In the stereo section, components of stereo systems are emphasized instead of modular systems. One reason for this is so that students can shop around for better buys on the different components. Another reason. Coleman says, is that "Students are buying more stereo systems than before. And not only are they buying more stereos, they're buying more In a random survey taken Tuesday afternoon, - most students said they thought the refund was a great idea, but said they were surprised the Yack was giving it. , - - - , " "It's very unusual to get a refund on anything," said senior Phillip King. "I think I'd do it (stand in line for money) anytime," said sophomore Tim Burgiss. "I'll probably use it to put a down payment on a new car.". .

The guide's usefulness ranges from educating the novice who doesn't know anything about cameras or stereos to pointing out the best buys and service plans to those well versed in the technical aspects of the equipment. The focus is on the beginner level to bring (them) up to the intermediate level," Coleman said. "Through the use of this manual, the novice can gain a grasp of certain technical aspects." But the guide is not only for the unknowledgeable. said Sharon Parker, a member of the special projects, committee.

I979. OWASA Chairperson Flo Garrett said the authority's Board of Directors still needs to meet w ith the local delegation to discuss the contemplated legislation. The four pieces of legislation the board is considering are: Placing a time limit on the Environmental Management Commission in its process of granting permits to obtain land by eminent domain (condemnation). Enabling OWASA toassess property owners for water or sewer lines that pass in front of their homes but are not currently servicing the homes. Enabling OWASA to get its sales tax refunded as do counties. Defining service regulations. The authority applied last December to the EMC for a permit to obtain land by eminent domain to enable it to build a reservoir on Cane Creek. The EMC will meet in February to consider the record from its hearings on the proposed reservoir, but may not reach a decision then. OWASA board member David Moreau said last Thursday that regardless of which alternative the authority pursues for a water supply, it still will have to go to the EMC to exercise eminent domain for water and sewer service, Brenda Foreman of the Office of Enforcement of the EMC said. The time lag in the process has to do with the administrative rights of the parties, she said. In considering whether, to grant the authority's petition for eminent domain, the EMC will consider seven items. Foreman said. The FMC will consider: Bakery Christmas cookies asking for.

December 6. 1978 The Daily Tar Heel 7 3 considers The necessity of the proposed project: The increase in storage capacity and conservation of water from the proposed project. The extent of probably detriment to beneficial uses of water in the .watershed and damages to users in the watershed. The extent of probably detriment to potentially beneficial uses of water on the watershed. The feasibility of alternative sources of supply and their comparative costs. The extent of probable detriment caused by alternative sources of supply to present and potential beneficial use of water on watersheds affected by alternatives. All other factors the board considers important. OWASA and its witnesses testified that the Cane Creek water is pristine and that the Jordan water would be bad for users health, while the Cane Creek Conservation Authority (which formed two years ago to fight the reservoir) and its witnesses testified that the Jordan was drinkable and downplayed the high quality of Cane Creek, Foreman said. The EMC wrote a position paper after the hearings which said the Cane Creek water was not pristine, and the Jordan water was drinkable. Foreman said. Trish Hunt of the I7th House District said although she has not yet officially been approached by the authority about the time limit, she has no quarrel with putting a time limit on the EMC, as long as it is a "reasonable" time limit. "! don't know what a reasonable time is," she said. Mike Teer, CCCA president, said of the proposed time limit, "It sounds to me like they (OWASA) think they're in trouble. The more time they (EMC) take to study the evidence, the more 1 think they will make a decision in our favor." it in if ti - 14 2 RECORD SET The American Ballet Theatre Production of Tchaikovsky MTCRACKKR Complete Ballet Choreographed and Directed by Mikhail BARYSHNIKOV National Philharmonic Orchestra Schermerhorn (ieorfic Fiideric Handel nnfpffin n r THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA Eugene Ormundy THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR EILEEN FARRELL MARTHA UPTON DAVIS CUNNINGHAM WILLIAM WARFTELD I.S.I.K- StrrnJtMii-I'uTrv R.utip.il .
