The Housing Advisory Board
approved a proposal Wednesday which
possibly could alleviate the tripling of
freshmen in University housing by
encouraging more cooperation between
the Department of Housing and the
University Admissions Office.
The board also approved a proposal to
develop a new admissions process which
will include consideration of housing
limitations as a possible means of
implementing better cooperation.
Only six members of the 1 1 -member
board were present for the voting. All six
members voted for the two proposals.
Two other proposals that the housing
director would be a voting member of the
Admissions Committee and that the
housing department, the Admissions
Office and Financial Aid Office would be
under the jurisdiction of the Office of
Student Affairs failed by a 4-2 vote.
The other members of the board will be
polled for their votes later a factor
CWP supporter
which could determine whether these two
proposals are approved.
The proposals were prepared by a
board subcommittee ' which included
history Professor James Leutze and
student members Bob Cramer and Eloise
McCain.
The proposals will be sent to Housing,
Director James D. Condie who will
forward them to Vide Chancellor for
Student" Affairs Donald Boulton for final
approval.
, Board members said the purpose of
any of the proposals is to try to stop
dormitory overcrowding on a large scale.
"We don't want what happened this year
to happen again," McCain said.
Economics Professor James Wilde
made suggestions not in the proposal. He
asked . the board to consider giving
conditional housing acceptances to
upperclassmen.
"You can tell they're accepted if you
have the rooms left over," Wilde said. "In
that case, the upperclassmen would have
to take the heat. Wilde also suggested
that the housing department close out
more upperclassmen in February than it

the year, these upperclassmen could be

not needed for freshmen, he said.
At its next meeting Nov. 26, the board
will consider a proposal to change the
tripling rent rebate policy so that the

now in effect.
Pediatrician claims pressure to resign

Even though Chapel Hill voters
rejected the S2.6 million parking bond
referendum on Nov. 6. several town
officials say that the need for a downtown
parking deck remains.
"I think there's a very definite need for
a- downtown parking 13eck. barring a
major change in traffic patterns," Mayor
James Wallace said.
Mel Rashkis, president of the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce,
which has supported the parking deck,
said that the deck was badly needed.
But despite apparent support for the
deck, town officials say they w ill study the
parking deck carefully before they take
any action. "Right now what has to be
done is to sit back and take stock of what
voters were telling us," said Mayor-elect
Joe Massif, who takes office Dec. 3.
It is still possible for the town to build
the deck. Assistant Town Manager Tony
Hooper said the town could build the
deck with the financial backing of
revenue bonds rather than general
obligation bonds, which would have been
used if voters passed the referendum.
Revenue bonds. Hooper said, are based
on the pledge that the project will be paid
for through its own revenue. They do not
require voter approval.
General obligation bonds pledge that
the funds will come from tax money if
necessary.
But before the town does anything, the '
new Town Council will have to decide if it
still wants the deck, and if it does, select
how it should be financed. Hooper said.
The town has already borrowed money
from the general fund to finance the
construction of a surface parking lot on
West Rosemary Street. The money would
have been paid back with bond funds, but
now the council will have to find another
way to repay the general fund. The lot is
in operation.
Some.town officials have said that the
parking referendum should be
resubmitted" to the voters in a special
election in the spring. But Wallace said he
thought such a vote was unlikely,
"Any bond referendum will be
approached with considerable caution
right now," he said.
On Nov. 6 Chapel Hill voters also
defeated a $300,000 open space
referendum, and Orange County voters
rejected all of the county bonds in its
$20.4-million package.
The open space bond would have
provided funds for the purchase of 70
acres of land in the Ridgeficld area near
Bolin and Booker Creek.
The town planning staff and Parks and
Recreation Department are proceeding
now with a comprehensive study of open
space land for town acquisition,
authorized by the Town Council.
It has been proposed that the town
place a bond referendum on the May
primary ballot based on the findings of
the study, scheduled for completion by
January.

Jean Chapman, a pediatrician at a federally funded
health clinic in Carrboro, charged Monday that she was
being pressured to resign her position because of her
connections with the local Communist Workers Party.
Chapman is a supporter of the CWP but not a
member of the group, she said. She participated in the
Nov. 3 CWP anti-Ku Klux Klan rally in Greensboro, in .
which five CWP members were killed. She also marched
in the subsequent funeral procession in Greensboro.
In a press conference Monday, Chapman said, "The
government and its agents are attacking the CWP
because the CWP is fearlessly taking up the struggles of
working class people against this capitalist system where
a few rich rip off the huge majority of workers.... These
Carrboro
gets award
from state

The town of Carrboro was named a
Community of Excellence by the N.C.
Department of Commerce at an awards
ceremony in Raleigh last week.
Mayor Robert Drakeford accepted the
award, which Gov. Jim Hunt presented.
The award, which also was presented to
76 other communities, honors North
Carolina towns for Working to upgrade
their potential for - industrial
development.
"We're justly proud of the award,"
Drakeford said. "It's a culmination of a
lot of people's work Miles Crenshaw,
(Alderman) Sherwood Ward and many
others."
The 107 communities which were
considered for the award were judged on
the basis of several criteria, said Corman
Drum of the Department of Commerce.
Communities were notified in April
that they were being considered for the
award.
A judging team visited the towns in
October and looked at their industrial
sites, brochures and slide presentations
about the towns prepared by officials.
The team also judged the towns on their
livability their residential areas,
recreation facilities and other attractions.
"The purpose of the whole program
was to help the communities get prepared
for industrial development," Drum said.
"Hopefully, these are now prepared."
As a part of the award, each
community will receive a plaque and two
highway signs stating that the town is a
are coordinated attacks by the FBI, not just isolated
incidents and this includes my job."
Chapman's" remarks were prompted by a report in a
Chatham County newspaper last week that Paul Alston,
the project director for the Orange-Chatham
Comprehensive Health Services, was seeking
Chapman's resignation for the good of the clinic.
Alston has not yet taken any official action against
Chapman. He refused to comment on the situation
Monday.
But Chapman said her employment by OCCHS at the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro clinic and at another clinic which
serves pothern Orange County was the subject, of
discussion at a staff meeting Nov. 13.
"He (Alston) made it very clear he wanted to seek my
resignation...(But) he has not said anything to me
personally," Chapman said.
Chapman lives in Pittsboro and is a leader of the
r , .
1 s kit
Chatham County Committee for Human Rights. She
has been active in local efforts to, help the Wilmington
10, to fight the high school competency test and to
support strikers at the Kayser-Roth hosiery mill in
Pittsboro. She has worked for OCCHS for almost five
years.
If efforts to force her from her job succeed, Chapman
said she will take legal action against her employer.
"We will fight for my job and every time such
attacks come down? she said. "We know these attacks
are a sign of weakness and desperation of this system,
not of strength."
David Hinds, chairman of the South Orange Black
Caucus, spoke Monday in favor of Chapman's cause.
"Nobody needs to be concerned with what she does
after her job," Hinds said. "People ought to lay hands off
people who are doing their work. I think we agree to
fight against it."
Local information line revived
Carrboro town officials began a drive
recently to inform citizens about INPUT,
a telephone line that citizens can call to
ask questions, voice complaints and get
information about town services.
Great new idea? Well, great, maybe,
but not new it's two years old. During
the past months, use of the line had been
dying out, said John Blackwood,
Carrboro's community relations director.'
With workers reporting only three or
four calls a week, town officials decided
to start a drive to inform people in the
community about the service. "People
who have used it in the past expressed a
desire that the line be continued,"
Blackwood said.
And since publicity letters were sent
out two weeks ago. INPUT has come
back to life, he said. "We got five calls
(Thursday)," Blackwood said. INPUTs
number is 942-8530,
The cost of operating the program is
about $19 a month, which is the cost of
the telephone, Blackwood said. The
workers manning the telepones were
hired for general switchboard duty, he
said. ''' ' '"' ;" " ". 7 ' ' '
In the coming months, town officials
plan television and radio spots
advertising INPUT. They also plan to
conduct a survey soon to determine how
many citizens are aware of the service,
Blackwood said.

If you are considering a major in a health-related field,
the Area Health Education Center program may help
you decide.
AH EC is a program in which medical, dental,
pharmacy, nursing, public and allied health students can
go to various health-education centers across the state
and study their field, said Dr. Eugene S. Mayer, director
of the AH EC program.
Medical students are required to spend 34 percent of
the time they are in medical school about 12 weeks
visiting different AH EC centers. Other health-related
majors spend varying amounts of time visiting the
centers, Mayer said.
The AH EC program in North Carolina began at the
University in 1972. In 1974, the state General Assembly
appropriated money to allow the program to expand,
Mayer said. AHEC now involves about $20 million a
year $16 million in state funds, $1.2 million from the
federal government and $2 million from communities.
AHEC today encompasses four universities Duke,
Wake Forest, East Carolina and UNC and has
facilities in Charlotte, Greensboro, Asheville,
Wilmington and Fayetteville, Mayer said. There also are
several rural centers designed to increase the distribution
of physicians in North Carolina.
. . "Rural counties have made substantial progress with
doctors," Mayer said. In 1970, half of North Carolina's
physicians practiced in six counties, according to AHEC
reports.
When the program began in 1972, 22 of the 100
counties in the state increased the ratio of physicians to
population, 27 had a ratio which remained the same, and
51 counties had a reduction in the ratio.
By 1976, 70 counties had increased the population
physician ratio, 18 were unchanged and only 12 counties
had a lower ratio.
Mayer added that 80 percent of resident physicians
are staying in North Carolina since the AHEC program
began. He estimated that half of these physicians (about
15,000) well set up practices in the state. "The program is
still too young to have any definite statistics," Mayer
said. - -
"Also, by having students and residents in the
community, (the residents) become teachers," he said.
"This stimulates them to keep on their toes."
AHEC provides housing and free transportation as
well as invaluable experience for the student, said Kate
Queen, a third-year medical student at UNC. "It gives
you an idea of a different area in the state," she said.
Queen did a three-week surgery rotation during the
summer at Wilmington. "The students met at 7:30 a.m.
for a tape session from Duke or Chapel Hill," Queen
said. "Then we were assigned a case to follow so wc
either went to the operating room or to the library to
research the case."
Queen said she acted as first assistant on surgery; and
said that working in the AHEC hospital gave her more
experience with "more run-of-the-mill cases."
Molly Ingram, a graduate student at Duke, did a
pharmacy rotation during her undergraduate studies.
Pharmacy students are required to spend one semester
rotating between centers. Ten weeks can be spent in a
hospital and five in a pharmacy, or vice versa.
"I wouldn't nave learned as much without AHEC,"
Ingram said. "Now I've decided to go into hospital
pharmacy."
Cynthia Thompson, who completed a pharmacy
rotation last spring in Charlotte, said her experience
may have been less rewarding than the experience of
others.
"The program in Charlotte was still getting started,"
Thompson said. "A lot of our experience was going to
sites to see if they were good."
But Thompson' said her work in the Nalle clinic in
Charlotte was excellent." "That was the highlight of my
rotation."
