The l;.b, in 303 Greenlaw, gives cssistance to student who want to remove a "Composition Condition" from their transcript, said Dill Waddell, bb director. When a student gets a CC attached to . his letter grade, he cannot graduate until it is removed, he said. CC means the student completed a course, but the instructor was not satisfied with that student's writing skills. "1 see a lot of seniors who have waited until now to remove a CC," Waddell said. "7 If a student brings his writing skills up to what Waddell feels is an acceptable level of collese standards, he said he sends a letter to the registrar to have the CC removed from the "student's transcript. "What I'm looking for is seme significant improvement in the student's writing ability," he said. When students come to the lab for help, Waddell said he asks them to bring a sample of their writing. He also administers a diagnostic test to help him find .any problems not evident in the student's sample. Students then write compositions assigned by Waddell and discuss problems they had and possible ways of improving them. "The biggest problem that 1 have come across repeatedly is gathering ideas. Students can't seem to think of enough things to say," he said. ' m I at OTH Chailes VeiiMjn CI Vcddc'.I checks ever student's cpcll'ng ...Lsb works to improve students' writing skills. Other problem areas were mechanics and consecutive thoughts, Waddell said. As the only instructor in the lab, Waddell said he saw between 20 and 25 students once a week. The students range from freshmen to graduate students who are not English-speaking natives. "I stay about as busy as I can be," Waddell said. "Additional funds would expand the potential of the lab greatly." lrZZC ,VTGZ &WO.IUZ COMMQ If W I t If il U 11 If ft I ,J i Cy LAURA CARTER Slaff Writer The sudden rise in silver thefts from area homes was highlighted Saturday with the arrests of two New Jersey men in connection with the theft of silver and other items from a Chapel Hill home, police said Monday. Wilbur L. Packer and Louis M. Ortega, both of Newark, N.J., were arrested while Packer was allegedly trying to sell stolen silver in Durham. The silver was traced to a break-in this weekend on Morgan Creek Road. Police said they did not know whether the two men had any connection with the rash of burglaries in the area, where the number of silver and jewelry thefts is up 1 54 percent from last year. At a press conference Friday, Chapel Hill Mayor Joe Nassif said that silver and jewelry accounted for 90 cents of - every SI of property reported stolen in Chapel Hill in October, or $68,500 worth of goods. Most of these thefts occurred in residential areas, Nassif said. "Police suspect that we are being victimized by some skilled operators, . almost certainly more than one individual or even one small group," Nassif said. "Evidence suggests that ; they are learning what valuables are in homes before they enter... then making .' telephone calls to determine whether anyone is home." Most of the break-ins occur during the day while people are at work, Nassif said; Most stolen silver is either melted down or sold at flea markets, Nassif said Friday, and although the police are working full time on this project, it is up to the homeowners and their neighbors to help protect themselves against thefts. The police department has suggested that homeowners secure their homes with deadbolt locks and window pins, PI W ft W m j I i f ( f , , i I ' i li il i!

They also recommended that silver be hidden from view and that precious items be marked and photographed to help recover them if they are stolen. Watching for suspicious behavior, such as strange cars in the neighborhood or unusual telephone callscan also help protect both you and your neighbors from theft, police said. Community Watch programs are a good way for area residents to keep an eye out for each other. "Let me remind you that Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays are traditionally busy times for burglars, and there appears good reason for us to. be exceptionally careful this year," Nassif warned. Nassif said that both he and the police department believed that having alert and careful citizens was the most effective means of controlling the problem. cy DI.ZZIZ ninsen Staff Writer Tampon sales in Chapel Hill have dropped since toxic shock syndrome came to national attention two months ago and local pharmacy managers say they wi'.l be stocking fewer tampons in the future. "Tampon sales have dropped considerably, probably as much as 50 percent," Village Pharmacy Manager H.A. Yandle said. "We will stock less as the sales slow down. We will cut back on tampons," said Al Whorley,- -manager of Kerr Druss. Jchn Woodard, manner cf Sutton's Drug Store, said, "We'll be stocking less of the super-absorbent tampons. Women are going back to the regular of each brand." As tampon sales have decreased, there has been an increase in the sales of sanitary napkins, managers said. Whorley and Woodard said sales of Tampax tampons have been hurt the most by the fear cf toxic shock syndrome. "Tampax is the biggest loser because they're the biggest seller," WTiorley said. Dr. Lamar Ekbladh, UNC associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, said that although toxic shock syndrome was noted with all types of tampons, Rely stood out. "I don't think anybody knows what exactly was wrong with Rely," he said. "None of the specific ingredients have been implicated. "It was an efficient tampon. Women left them in too long. That's what is suspected right now." Ekbladh said tampon use should be modified, "Wholesale desertion isn't warranted," he said. "I think there is a whole lot of panic and I don't think the fear is justified." He said women who have stopped using tampons would come back to IV; rry ' "If women are going to step using tampons, they should step driving to work because they are mere likely to die in a car accident," he said. The Hurler Action Committee of the Campus Y will co"ect narr.es today and Thursday of people interested in participating in a fast Thursday, Nov. 21.
