Chapel Hill may be the beer drinking capital of
the world, but many UNC students could
unknowingly be breaking the law to uphold the
reputation.
Residence halls are supposed to check ID cards
of people attending parties where alcoholic
beverages are served, said Jody Harpster, acting
director of residence life for University Housing.
Although he said that the rule is widely ignored,
there is a little-known consequence if residents are
caught serving beer, wine or liquor to a minor.
"The people that plan the party, buy the alcohol
and give the alcohol out, are liable for anything
that happens," Harpster said. "If the police come,
they can be arrested for serving a minor."
Harpster also said that technically, residence
halls are not supposed to spend any dormitory
funds for alcoholic beverages, but the policy on
this is regulated by the Student Activities Fund
Office.
"I .think the general policy is that as long as they
(residence halls) don't put down alcohol oh the
requisition forms, it's okay,". Harpster said. "The
usual thing to put down is 'party refreshments."
Another illegal practice is the selling of alcohol
at group functions, Harpster said. This usually
involves selling tickets to a cook-out where beer is
also served, he said.
"They Were going to have a 'chicken pickin at
Spencer and were going to do the same thing (sell
beer)," Harpster said. "We found out about it and
put a stop to it. Instead, they had the party and
gave the beer out afterwards."
Granville Towers Manager Mel Rinfret said
Granville decided in Aut to stop providing beer
at tower-wide functions. He said he had received
complaints about minors at Granville parties.
"It's a company-wide policy," Rinfret said. "We
do not feel it's our place to provide it (alcohol)."
Floor parties follow University policies
concerning the handling of alcohol, Rinfret said.
Floor funds are coordinated by floor officers and
RAs, he said.
"I suppose it's a gray area," Rinfret said. "There
may be some kids under 18 at parties. But as long
as it's not a problem, we allow the halls to spend
funds as they see fit."
Pam Kyff, central reservationist at the Carolina
Union, said that although alcohol is permitted at
parties held in the building, no beverages may be
consumed which contain inore than 14 percent
alcohol.
"Alcoholic beverages catfr't be drunk anywhere
outside of the confirmed area of the party," Kyff
said. "The parties are restricted to people 18 and
over, and the officers of the sponsoring
organization must assume responsibility to
enforce laws and regulations."
Kyff said no alcohol maybe consumed in Union
galleries, games areas, lobbies, lounges and halls.
In case of disturbances, security officers may be
called, she said.
"The only disturbances 1 can think of last year
were when people brought in liquor instead of
beer," Kyff said.
Carolina Union Director Howard Henry said a
new policy was created thisi year prohibiting kegs
of beer in the Great Hall. A problem arose when
spilt beer seeped into the parquet floors, he said.
"People spill. It's not a put-down, it's just
natural," Henry said. "We used to permit kegs on
the porch outside, but the construction has made
that impossible. When that gets stabilized, we may
have it (kegs) again, but that room is just not
suitable for a beer-blast party."
William Strickland, associate vice chancellor
for student development, said that there are no
specific written rules concerning consumption of
alcoholic beverages on campus. A general rule was
handed down by UNC Chancellor N. Ferebee
Taylor, he said.
"A trustee action placed the prerogative with the
chancellor," Strickland said. "He made the
decision that brownbagging beer and wine could
be consumed in the Union and its extensions."
Ehringhaus field is the only legal outdoor space
where alcohol may be consumed, he said. The field
is considered an extension of Union space.
Strickland said that North Carolina law clearly
states that a room or residence hajll is considered to
be a second domicile. Therefore alcohol may be
consumed legally in one's private residence.
Strickland said he has seen unsanctioned
activities where beer was sold, served to minors or
consumed in unapproved areas such as
Carmichael field.
"It takes a liquor license to be able to sell beer,
and those are hard to procure," Strickland said.
"Naturally, it's hard to enforce the rules, but if
people are caught, they're running a grave risk of
being arrested."
Alcoholic beverage consumption regulations
are not written down, although attempts have been
made in the past. Strickland said.
"We're operating under what we call
guidelines," Strickland said. "We'd like to get a
type of umbrella policy so they (students) will be
aware of the rules and possible consequences."
Strickland said he did not know of any recent
arrests that had been made due to violation of
these rules. But Alcoholic Beverage Control
officers have been active in this area, he said.
"If someone underage is served alcohol, it might
be comparable to the neighborhood bartender
who serves liquor to a person already drunk and he

Census may add
seat in Congress
By JACI HUGHES
Staff Writer
Editor's note: This is the first in a two-part series on the 1980
Census. Part 2 will examine congressional redisricting.
North Carolina may gain a congressman in 1982 as a result of
anticipated population increases. And then again, political
watchers say, it may not.
Federal census bureau officials and state legislators say
whether the state's congressional delegation in the House will
increase from 11 to 12 hinges on the results of the official 1980
Census of the state and the rest of the nation. In 1981, following
the count, the General Assembly will redraw the state's
congressional and legislative district lines, apportioning its
allocated representatives.
In addition to determining ihby the nation's 435
representatives - will be apportioned f. census da&are used to
determine the state's share of $50 billion a year in federal funds.
About 100 federal aid programs, including general revenue
sharing, the Comprehensive, Employment Jand Training Act,
Housing and Urban Development black grants, the National
School Lunch Act and the Federal Aid to Housing Act are
funded on the basis data. Last year, North Carolina received
$269 million in revenue sharing funds alone.
The Bureau of the Census, a division of the U.S. Department
of Commerce, will conduct the nation's 20th decennial (every 10
years) census in April, 1980.
.The census will be conducted by mail. Each of the nation's
approximately 86 million households will receive a questionnaire
before April 1. Response is required by federal law and
enumerators will visit each household that does not return
a questionnaire.
The 1980 Census will ask every household 19 questions,
including seven population questions and a dozen housing and
energy-use questions. Bureau experts say it should take about 15
minutes to fill out the form.

WASHINGTON (AP) Juanita M. Kreps, Duke
University vice president and the first woman to serve
as secretary of commerce, submitted her resignation
to President Carter Wednesday, reportedly to spend
more time with her hospitalized husband, UNC
business professor Clifton H. Kreps Jr.
Kreps cited "personal, family reasons" for leaving
the Cabinet job. Commerce spokesman Ernest Lotito
said.
"She feels she has been away from her family for
almost three years and at this time needs to be with
them," Lotito said.
Kreps has been seriously considering returning to
Durham since late June because of her husband's
health problems, a source who wished to remain
anonymous said.
That month, her husband fired a .38-caliber
revolver into his mouth, authorities said. Kreps had
been released for the day from the psychiatric unit of
North Carolina Memorial Hospital.
Administration officials, who asked not to be
named, said possible successors include recently
appointed Undersecretary of Commerce Luther H.
Hodges Jr., Export-Import Bank Chairman John L.
Moore Jr., and Treasury Undersecretary Anthony M.
Solomon. Hodges is the the son of former North
Carolina Gov. Luther Hodges, who served as
commerce secretary in the Kennedy and Johnson
administrations.
Lotito said the White House planned to announce
officially on Thursday that Carter was accepting the
resignation with regret.
In Durham, Duke University Chancellor A.
Kenneth Pye said Kreps would return to the school
Nov. 1. She has been on leave from her job as a
university vice president and economics professor.
Lotito said Carter planned to formally announce
his acceptance of her resignation with regret
Thursday. Kreps will leave Washington at the end of
the month and resume her duties at Duke Nov. I,
spokesmen said.
Lotito said Kreps was
now "fully recovered" and
had been spending time with
his wife in Washington.
Kreps, who preferred to
be known as the first
economist to be secreatry of
commerce rather than the
first woman, informed her
staff of her decision
Wednesday.
Kreps -was never . a
Juanita Kreps
member of Carter's economic inner sanctum. Last
year, she and Labor Secretary Ray Marshall were
dropped as regular members of the interagency
Economic Policy Group. Nevertheless, Mrs. Kreps
impressed colleagues and Carter with her ability
to grasp the wide variety and often unrelated issues at
Commerce. She also served as Carter's chief
economic diplomat, traveling to numerous foreign
countries to promote trade agreements including a
trip to China last spring. On that trip, she put the
finishing touches on the settlement of U.S. claims
outstanding since the Communist takeover in 1949.
On the domestic front, Mrs. Kreps was one of the first
to argue for a tax cut to stimulate the economy, a
measure that put more money in consumer's pockets.
Controversial exhibit draws crowds
By DOROTHY ROMPALSKE
SUff Writer
RALEIGH The controversial exhibit "The Art of
Bob Timberlake" is drawing record-breaking crowds to
the N.C. Museum of Art. More than 1,000 people
attended the Sept. 16 opening of the North Carolina
realist painter's works, which have been criticized by
area artists as solely commercial and without artistic
merit.
A petition to protest the exhibit was initiated by two
Fayettevflle artists. It charges that Timberlake's
"achievement is solely commercial: the result of clever
promotion." The petition was started by William C.
Fields, former president of the Associated Artists of
North" Carolina and Lloyd Nick, chairman of the art
department at Methodist College in Fayetteville.
The two men also are protesting Timberlake's practice
of selling signed photomechanical reproductions of his
paintings at prices usually set for original works of art,
$125 to $150. Unlike lithographs and serigraphs, which
are printed from hand-crafted plates, Timberlake's
reproductions are from photographs. Fields and Nick
believe that the buyer of a Timberlake reproduction may
not understand that he is not buying an original work.
Two galleries affiliated with the N.C. Museum of Art
the Fayetteville Museum of Art and the Southeastern
Center for Contemporary Arts in Winston-Salem, have
refused to host the exhibit when it travels after the
Raleigh show. Both museums cite Timberlake's
questionable artistic standing as a major reason for
refusing to show his work.
The artist, who has shown his work throughout the
southeast and in New York, blames the "petty jealousy"
of less successful artists for the commotion. According
to Timberlake, the prices of his works are set by the rules
of supply and demand and are not under his control.
The demand for a Timberlake painting or
reproduction is high. An informal survey of the visitors
to the gallery Sunday showed that the public was
overwhelmingly pro-Timberlake. His finely detailed
paintings of country scenes and rustic still lifes appeal to
the emotions of many viewers. But Timberlake, who
graduated from UNC with a degree in industrial
relations, claims to be interested in only the opinions of
. the common people and not the critics.
Although many area artists and art critics are
complaining that more deserving North Carolina artists
are missing a chance to have their work shown, Moussa
M. Domit, the museum director, has defended the
Timberlake exhibit, which will run through Oct. 14.
According to Domit, "The museum has a policy of
recognizing distinguished North Carolina artists."
Most of the 1,600 people who crowded the exhibit
Sunday a day which usually draws only 300-400
people agreed with the sentiments of one elderly
gentleman who enjoyed the show. "I like Timberlake's
work," he said. "It's nice to come out of an exhibit
without Raving to wonder what it was I just saw."

Pope enchants 6 City,
of Brotherly Love9
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Pope John
Paul II, welcomed "home" Wednesday to
the historic city he had visited in the 1976
Bicentennial, admonished the largest
American crowd he has seen to follow the
strict moral standards of their past.
Thousands were at Philadelphia's
airport as the papal jet "Shepherd 1"
touched down in bright sunshine from a
rainy New York. Hundreds of thousands
lined the streets into the city. And police
said a million or more were at the pope's
open-air Mass in Logan Circle.
At the airport, one group of youngsters
held placards forming the words
"Philadelphia Welcomes Pope John Paul
II With Love," and with a nod from
Cardinal John Krol, they turned over the
cards to repeat the message in Polish.
Mayor Frank Rizzo called the pope
"our source of joy our hope for the
future" in his welcome address. And Gov.
Richard Thornburgh, recalling that
Pennsylvania was founded on the basis of
religious freedom, greeted the pope as a
"spiritual Pcnnsylvanian," and said:
"Welcome Home."
The pope himself recalled his 1976 visit
as a bishop in remarks prepared for later
in the day. He noted Philadelphia's
connection to the Declaration of
Independence and said he found in the
document "strong connections with basic
religious and Christian values."
On the ride into the city, tens of
thousands lined the streets. Shouts of
"Papa! Papa!" rang out in largely Italian
South Philadelphia, and balloons of gold
and white drifted skyward. Along Broad
Street, the flags x( Philadelphia,
America, Poland and the Vatican
fluttered in the breeze.
"Philadelphia means brotherly love,"
the pope said on arrival at the airport,
referring to the city's nickname.
The pontiff also spoke of Christian
values in regard to sex, defending priestly
celibacy and emphasizing that sex was
sinful outside marriage.
"There can be no true freedom without
respect for the truth regarding the nature
of human sexuality and marriage," he
said, adding that the traditional rules
apply to "the whole of conjugal
morality."
A lighter mood had prevailed for most
of the pope's day earlier. He had met with
youth in Manhattan and Brooklyn,
receiving as gifts blue jeans, a T-shirt and
a guitar.

And if elected Thorpe will not serve
...will stay on town council
By ANNE-MARIE DOWNEY
Start W riter
There was a media event Wednesday.
Local politician Bill Thorpe, who, like all politicians
does not exactly have an aversion to seeing his name in
print, called together the local media.
Thorpe, a member of the Chapel Hill Town Council,
had arranged for a meeting room in the Holiday Inn to
announce the news that had been expected for some
time: he was throwing his hat into the ring to run for
mayor. The media already had composed the story in
its collective mind.
He had been hinting for several weeks that he would
become the fifth candidate in what is expected to be a
very tight mayoral race.
As the usual contingent of local reporters waited for
the announcement with their pencils poised, Thorpe
ceremoniously seated himself at a table in front of a
semi-circle of chairs. A pinpoint of light shone down
upon Thorpe and mellow music played in the
background. The stage was set.
Surprise.
Thorpe made the "non-announcement" that he will
not run for mayor. Erase previously composed story.
Shift collective mind.
After careful consideration, Thorpe said he had
decided the timing just wasn't right for him to run for
mayor.
A la Ted Kennedy's 1976 non-campaign, the
rumored mayoral bid was not to be. But Thorpe said he
had not ruled out any future mayoral plans.
Thorpe is not the first nonondidate in the
November local election. Several weeks ago. David
Hinds, chairman of the South Orange Black Caucus,
also asked the media to congregate so he could reveal,
' yes. he was not a candidate for town council.
Having learned of Thorpe's non-news, the reporters
dutifully asked such probing questions as "Why aren't
you running?" and "When did you decide not to runT
After all, there must be a story in Thorpe's non
candidacy, or why would the reporters be there?
Thorpe said he had decided not to run only two days
ago. The pencils flew.
After all the questioning ceased. Thorpe rose from
the tabic and thanked the reporters for coming to his
non-announcement.
The reporters filed out of the room, armed w ith their
non-story for today's front page.
