Athletic center
By ROANN BISHOP
- Staff Writer ,
In its first meeting with UNC Chancellor Christopher
C. Ford ham 111 and Student Body President Bob
Saunders, the UNC Board of Trustees voted Friday to
approve plans for a $2 1 million student athletic center to
be built in the southern fringe of campus between
Manning Drive and Mason Farm Road.
The new center will seat 1 8,000-22,000 and can be used
for a variety of sports events, including indoor tennis,
wrestling and gymnastics as well as oen's and women's
basketball. ,
The octagonal center is designed with two tiers of seats
including moveable seats that can be used to
accommodate large crowds for games and graduation.
The center will have a fabric roof.
Designs for the center are being drawn by a joint
architectural firm: Hakan-Corley, Finch-Heary and
Geiger-Berger. Hakan-Corley, based in Chapel Hill, will
serve as project coordinator.
Before the University can proceed with its plans for
the athletic center, it also must receive approval from the
UNC Board of Governors. After the plans have gone
through the University approval process, UNC officials
will present the plans to the Chapel Hill Town Council.
The University cannot build the center without a special
use permit from the town.
Residents in the Mason Farm Road Area have
complained about having a "monstrosity" in their
community. But the architects explained in their
presentation that the center will be constructed in a

Picture the world's largest Monopoly
board. Twelve thousand square feet of
wheeling and dealing, with living tokens,
cardboard hotels, and a bamboo jail, all
approved by Parker Brothers themselves.
That was the scene at Raleigh's Dorton
Arena Friday and Saturday, as the
Raleigh YWCA held its fundraising
Monopoly Marathon. Sixty-four adults
and 24 children, representing the cream
of the cardboard corporate crop, showed
up to compete for the grand prize: a trip
-for two to Disney World.
Eight games of eight players each, plus
a one-hour celebrity game, led up to the
lucrative, action-packed final on
Saturday night.
After several hours of hard-nosed
bargaining and impressive dice-throwing,
Gail Thompson, a Raleigh native,

Legal aid is
often simple
for students
By JANE GREEN
Suff Writer
"Just the other day we represented a
student who was towed on campus in the
snow," said Dorothy Bernholz, head
attorney for Student Legal Services. The
station ripped the back fender of the car
off in the process and did about $320
worth of damage. We didn't have to go to
court. I just wrote the company a letter
saying we're going to sue if they didn't pay
damages."
Most Student Legal Services cases are
this simple. Th, office mainly handles
small cases which still could be a financial
burden on students relying on attorneys
not associated with the University,
Bernholz said.
In spite of the simplicity of the cases,
the services rendered are those requiring a
lawyer. And Student Legal Services is an
earned luxury. Students had no campus
legal representatives until 1976.
In the early 70s, many students began
to feel that part of their tuition and fees
should be used to provide legal counsel.
Students realized they were old enough to
have legal problems but often were not
financially capable of hiring a lawyer.
Concerned UNC students lobbied and
gained approval for a Student Legal
Service. Plans were drawn up and given
to someone fresh out of law school,
Dorothy Bernholz. In October 1975, the
work began.
"The plan they handed me was illegal,"
Bernholz said. "At that time it was illegal
for students to prepay for legal aid. So we
filed suit to change the state law."
Bernholz began work to legalize the
service in 1975 and worked without pay
until the service became official in April
1976, when a federal court overturned the
state law.
As a lawyer, Bernholz said she felt she
should not have been paid for work done
under a plan that was illegal. "It just
wouldn't have been right," she said.
Financed through student fees,
Student Legal Services now employs
Bernholz and Mark Sternlicht, her
assistant. Chris Mason, a UNC graduate
and 1980 law school prospect, serves as
secretary and handyman for the two
attorneys.
Students can rely on free aid from
Student Legal Services in almost any
legal matter between a student and non-student.

natural ravine so that even though the structure will rise
1 1 stories, the building itself will not be visible above the
treeline.
An additional 1,000 parking spaces will be built near
the center. The reason for the relatively small size for the
parking area in proportion to the total seating capacity
of the athletic center is that there are spaces already
available within walking distance.
No state money will be used to fund the new center.
Money will be raised by the University through private
contributions and endowments.
In other business, Fordham reported to the board that
the main problem currently facing the University is a
decrease in federal and state funds. Fordham said this
decrease was causing the University to reduce spending
by making cuts in training and institutional grants, and
research and interdisciplinary centers. Fordham said the
University needed support from the private sector for
these areas to continue to thrive.
Another important problem Fordham said he
perceived on this campus was "a substantial amount of
distrust." Fordham said that the past two decades have
been a period of remarkable social change on the
University campus. Fordham, said he recognized the
current tension from women and minorities who are
complaining of discrimination by the University.
Fordham said he was concerned with the situation and
called for increased efforts to recruit women and
minority faculty members.
The Board of Trustees also approved a plan proposed
by the Chapel Hill Preservation Society concerning a
University-owned house at 620 Park Place. The S&year-

assets.

The celebrity game, which included
such notables as Raleigh Mayor G.
Smedes York, former Raleigh Mayor
Isabella Cannon, Howard Lee, former

and Attorney General Rufus Edmisten,
also held some surprises.
Raleigh Bicentennial Director Dick E.
Ellis, along with his boardwalker, 1.
Davis Wood, director of Raleigh's
Theater in the Park, managed to outfox
the mayors, the attorney general, and the
rest of the bigwigs to take top honors.
Far from being all fun and games,
however, the project raised an estimated
$53,000 for the Wake County YWCA's
building fund.

Tenant-landlord disputes often are
handled for students. "These are mostly
where, students move out before their
leases are up, or where landlords won't
repair things in the apartments," Mason
said. '
Routine cases prevail. But in one
unusual case, an engaged couple broke up -and
needed a property settlement.
They had bought items jointly in
anticipation of their marriage. The case
was settled on the basis of an agreement
made between the two before the
purchase of the items. In this case, there
was an oral agreement.
There are restrictions on what the
service can and cannot handle. Criminal
cases are not handled because of the cost
involved. According to Bernholz, the
handling of criminal cases would require
the hiring of another full-time attorney.
Divorce cases are handled by Student
Legal Services, and such cases usually are
brought in by graduate students. Only
uncontested divorces involving no
property settlement are handled.
The legal services cannot handle cases
involving more than $800 and will take no
cases dealing with personal injury or
consumer interests.
"The lawyers downtown will often take
these cases free of charge for practice,"
Bernholz said. "They do it to prove a
point and to make a big deal of
representing a poor college student,
which really isn't bad, it's just not for the
right reasons."
Student Legal Services also will not
handle cases between a student and the
University. Funding for the Student
Legal Services and the University comes
from the same pool. Honor courts on
campus and University boards can
handle minor disputes, but Bernholz said
she feels this is not enough. She said she
has found that there often is no
arrangement for the handling of some
cases.

Town to set new
The Chapel Hill Town Council is
expected to vote tonight to set tentative
bus pass prices for the upcoming fiscal
year.
Before the council decision goes into
effect, the town will hold a public hearing
in April on the bus rates.
In its vote, the council is likely to
choose between two proposed rate
structures for the bus passes. Both would
substantially increase the current bus
pass prices.
Town Manager Gene Shipman has
recommended the same rate structure
proposed by the town's Transportation
Department, which would increase bus
pass prices up to 64 percent. Rates would
.be slightly lower for student bus passes
that are sold by the University.
Shipman has recommended the town
sell 12-month passes for $79 and 9-month
passes for $65. The 12-month pass
currently sells for $48 and the 9-month
pass is available for $40.
In his recommendation, Shipman said

Violence in film
By LEILA DUNBAR
Staff W riter
Approximately fifteen local residents
met in front of the Plaza Triple Theatres
at Kroger Plaza Friday night to protest
the opening of the movie Windows.
The group carried pickets and
distributed pamphlets to theater patrons.
- The movie suggests that gay people are
so connected to criminal situations that
they need police protection from their
own subculture," the pamphlets stated.
The protestors charged that the United
Artist film presents a stereotypical view
of lesbian life: They also objected to the
violence against women depicted in the
movie. In Windows, a gay woman hires a
man to rape her neighbor.
"Our reasons for protesting were
twofold," demonstrator Lee Mullis said.
"First, United Artist has released a
stereotypic and anti-gay film. Secondly,

construction site of the University Press Building,
originally had been destined for demolition in July 1979.
But, the Chapel Hill Preservation Society proposed a
plan to the University to block the demolition. The
society agreed to make repairs on the house, which will
cost approximately $38,000-540,000, and lease the house
from the University for $1 a year.

percent of the bus system costs are paid
for by operating revenues. The town's
goals is to have 33 percent of the
financing come from 'operations' ;
Shipman said the increase would offset
inflation. A review of bus prices in the
state also revealed that Chapel Hill rates
are well below average, he said.
But the town' Transportation Board
has recommended that the council
approve smaller increases. In its
recommendation, the Transportation
Board expressed concern that the bus
pass prices be kept in line with University
parking fees to encourage bus ridership.
The board has proposed an increase to
$67 for the 12-month pass and $58 for the
9-month pass.
Both Shipman and the Transportation
Board have recommended that the
council approve an increase from 30 cents
to 35 cents for single fares on regular
routes and from 15 cents to 20 cents on
campus routes.

"Violence against women is a very
definite problem in many places, and
Chapel Hill as well," Mullis said.
The protest at the Plaza Theatres is the
second recent protest in Chapel Hill
against a United Artist film. In February,
members of the Carolina Gay
Association and other local residents
protested the showing of Cruising at the
Varsity Theatre. Cruising, starring Al
Pacino, depicts homosexuals as
belonging to a sadomasochistic
subculture.
The Windows protest did not disrupt
business at the theater, Larry Jackson,
manager of the Plaza Theatres, said.
"There was no problem as long as they
were peaceful and didn't obstruct
customers from buying tickets," Jackson
said. "Actually, 1 think it has helped

Future freshman class
limited to 4,600 students
By JULIE BRITT
Staff Writer
While applications to UNC have
jumped from 8,000 to 1 1,000 in the last
ten years, the University will accept only
4,600 freshmen next fall, Anthony R.
Strickland, UNC assistant director of
undergraduate admissions, said recently.
Acceptance will be given to about 3,600
North Carolinians and to about 1,000
out-of-state applicants this year,
Strickland said. . Approximately 65
percent of the North Carolina residents
and about one-half of the out-of-state
residents accepted are expected to enroll.
Freshmen enrollment has remained
fairly stable since total University
enrollment was limited to 20,000, but the
number of applicants has been increasing
steadily, Strickland said. This results in
much extra work for the admissions staff,
especially during the spring, he said.
When the applications are received at .
the mailroom, they are dated, and fee
cards are processed. They are then
checked for completeness. A computer
generates an admissions index,,bringing
class rank and SAT scores together in a
workable way, Strickland said.
A student who applies in early fall
should be informed whether or not he has
been accepted in two to four weeks. There
Minority students lured to UNC
through Project Uplift recruiting
By JULIE BRITT
Staff Writer
Project Uplift, a minority student
recruitment program, will be held at
UNC on March 27-29 and April 3-5.
Project Uplift attracts minority
students by bringing them to Carolina for
a weekend in which they live with UNC
students and become familiar with many
aspects of campus life.
Participants are minority students
from North Carolina recommended by
their high schools because of academic
record and leadership ability. These high
school juniors are predominantly black,
but some American Indians and whites
with Spanish surnames also participate,
said Herbert Davis, UNC assistant
director of undergraduate admissions.
"Over the past two years, the

and Observer reported Thursday.
Swofford's and Gavitt's names have
been submitted to Chancellor
Christopher C. Fordham HI by the
selection committee, according to the
N&O.
"Our job is done," Frank Klingberg,

usually is a flood of applications from
December to February, so students
applying during that time are notified in
six to eight weeks, he said.
All applications are reviewed by the
admissions staff, which looks for an
overall picture of a student's record.
Grades and class rank are very important,
but factors such as the difficulty of the
course program, the nature of the high
school and the depth of extracurricular
involvement also are considered. SAT
scores count approximately 20 percent
toward the acceptance or rejection of an
applicant, Strickland said.
Recommendations from teachers,
coaches and others who know the student
well also are considered.
"A great majority of the applicants
could do the w ork at UNC if we had space
-for them." Strickland said.
A decline in college-age students is
expected by 1984-85, but it should not
affect the quality of students w ho will be
enrolled here, he said. The number of
applicants to UNC probably will peak
either this year or next year, and in ten
years the number should be about the
same as it was ten years ago, he said.
"A four-year degree is still important
and will continue to be that way,"
Strickland said. "It's a choice of being an
employer or an employee."
provided housing has gone from all black
to some whites and Indians," Davis said.
Now, instead of being housed mainly in
Morrison and James, the students stay all
over North Campus as well, giving them a
better perspective of campus living.
Project Uplift is the life blood of
minority recruitment, Davis said. "The
fear of the great and wonderful
University is eroding because of this
increased contact with students who
already attend UNC."
He said, the program is very attractive.
One student participating this year called
UNC to ask if two of her friends could
come, too, he said.
There will be 170 students here for each
of the two weekends. Because nearly 500
wanted to come, there will be an
abbreviated day-long program on a
Saturday later this spring.
next few days, Fordham taid Sunday.
Fordham' would not say whether
Swofford and Gavitt were the leading
candidates.
The committee also reportedly
considered Moycr Smith, UNC associate
athletic director, and Clyde Walker, the
UNC-Charlotte athletic director, for the
top spot in the athletic department,
Swofford has worked at UNC for four
years and is assistant director of the
