Editor's note: Tin's is the first installment of a five
part series about the Triangle area in general and
the Research Triangle Park in particular. Today 's
story is a retrospective on the Research Triangle
Park. Stories on successive days will outline the
Triangle 's future, and the potential problems it
faces as one of the fastest-growing areas in the
country.
The cities of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill
grew up under differing circumstances. They housed
competing universities. Yet, somewhere among
those differences the seeds for a cooperative com
munity of research industries were planted.
Now that seed has grown into an area that covers
5,500 acres of rolling hills and boasts 41 research
facilities, 44 commercial firms and an annual pay
roll exceeding $170 million.
Its' name is Research Triangle Park.
The three cities which form the Triangle rank 76th
in population nationally but first in Ph.D.'s per
capita. The reality of Research Triangle Park today
began as a dream in the mid-1960s.
The late Luther Hodges, governor of North
Carolina when the park first began, called the
complex "the marriage of North Carolina's ideals
for higher education and its hopes for material
progress." The success of that marriage is due in
large part to the three cities which form the Triangle.
Raleigh was laid out by William Christmas in
April 1792 and became the state's center of gov
ernment. North Carolina State University was
opened in 18S9 as the North Carolina College of

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Space
shuttle Columbia roared into space Sunday
and sailed a perfect course around Earth,
beginning an era of making space a work
place for mankind.
And everything worked.
Flight One of the winged space freighter,
piloted by John Young and Robert Crip
pen, got off on time, soared into orbit and
exercised its cargo bay doors during a criti
cal early-flight test Some of Columbia's
troublesome tiles shook off, but officials
weren't alarmed.
At the start of their third orbit, Shuttle
Control told the astronauts, "You guys
did so good, we're going to let you stay
up there for a couple days." That meant
a wheels-down landing Tuesday at Ed
wards Air Force Base in California. Target
time for the first runway landing of the
space age is 1:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, Columbia was circling 172
miles above Earth. It was the first time .
since 1975 that Americans were in space.
The flight began precisely at 7:00:03 a.m.
"That was one faptastic ride; I highly
recommend it," said Crippen, a 15-year
astronaut on his first trip in space. "Oh,
man, that is so pretty," he said seeing
Earth from space for the first time.
John Young, setting a record with his
fifth trip into space, said, "It sure hasn't
changed any. It's something else out
there."
President Ronald Reagan watched on
television from the White House after
his first night's sleep at home since he
was shot. Shortly before launch his mes
sage was read to the astronauts: "You
take the hope and prayers of all Americans
with you."
Roads around Kennedy Space Center
were jammed Sunday just before lift-off,
just as they had been for hst Friday's
scheduled hunch, when a computer pro
blem stopped the countdown and launch
16 minutes before ignition.
For two miles, Columbia rose nearly
straight from its hunch pad into a
morning sky.
Two minutes into the flight spent rocket
boosters were cast loose, falling 16 to 18
miles into the ocean, where two ships
waited to recover them for re-use. And
the external tank, having expended its
half-million gallons of liquid hydrogen
and liquid oxygen bring the shuttle al
most to orbit, tumbled away and broke
into small pieces as it fell into the Indian
Ocean.
The first and most important test of
Columbia's mechanical systems was ac
complished 105 minutes into the Plight,
at the beginning of the second of a plan
ned 36 orbits, when Young and Crippen
opened two hrc doors on the space
ship's (Moot-long car.o bay.

Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. The name was
changed to North Carolina State College of Agri
culture and Engineering in 1917.
Durham, which houses Duke University, began
as a county crossroads and grew rich from the
tobbacco industry. The town of Durham was in
corporated in 1867 and the Union Institute, from
which Duke University came, was founded in 1838.
Chapel Hill takes its name from the New Hope
Chapel that stood at the crossroads on the route
from Petersburg, Va., to New Bern, N.C., in the
1 8th century. When The University of North Car
olina at Chapel Hill opened its doors in 1795,
Chapel Hill began to grow and is now home to
one of the largest universities in the South.
The three universities have helped to make Re
search Triangle Park what it is today.
Each of the three universities donated a building
worth $2.5 million dollars, plus $75,000 a year. In
addition, many researchers from the park teach at
the three schools.
Research Triangle Park has indus
tries as large as IBM Corporation with
5,000 employees and Burroughs Well
come, a large pharmaceutical research
laboratory with a payroll of 1 ,035 em
ployees. The North Carolina Educa
tional Information Center Program
has only two employees, but all indus
tries in the park must obey a set of
strict but well-regulated rules.
Six acres is the minimum for build
Tha
ing sites, but only 15 percent of the
land in each lot may be built on. Noise, smoke and
vibration must be held to a minimum, and manu
facturing industries must be directly related to re
search processes. . .

The UNC Board of Trustees approved a proposal
Friday to build a $7 million, 500-bcd dormitory to meet
growing student requests for on-campus housing.
The proposal now goes to the N.C. General Assembly
base budget comrr. Itee. If the assembly approves the
plan, which it is expected to do, the plan will go back to
the board in June to be reconsidered.
In other business, the board approved employment
policies for EPA non-faculty employees. Employment
policies concerning annual leave according to how long
a non-faculty employee has been employed by the UNC
system are now uniform.
The board also voted to take control of all campus
parking lots on football Saturdays. The .vote gives the
board the authority to clear lots needed for Rams Club
members.

The Research Triangle Foundation and the Re
search Triangle Institute are the governing bodies
of the park. Representatives from the three uni
versities are board members of these factions and
ensure that the .entire Triangle'area benefits from
the park. ,
Research Triangle Park is now seen as one of
the foremost centers for research and technology
of the dozens of other research parks located in
the United States and around the world.
However, experts agree that Research Triangle
Park is unique.
"There's nothing like it at all," said C.X. Lar
rabee, director of. Information Services for the
Research Triangle Institute. "There are always
dozens of them all over the world," he said, but
there is no research park with three universities
working together.
Mark Money, who wrote a doctoral thesis on
research parks and helped start a park at the Uni-
Research Triangle
into tha future
versity of Utah, said Research Triangle Park was
unique because it had the most land and there
fore, was more flexible than any other research
park. "It's a rare situation," he said. "They (the

The board also decided to reduce fines for cars park
ed on campus without stickers. The fine had been in
creased from $10 to $20 in an effort to cut the number
of violations. The board decided to reverse the policy
after it was determined that the only effect of the $20
fine was the collection of more money.
If approved by the General Assembly and the board,
the new dormitory would be completed in 1984. Several
sites are being considered. Two of the more preferable
ones. Student Body President Scott Norberg said, were
behind Kcssing Pool and behind Parker dormitory. All
sites must be researched by the Chancellor's Building
and Grounds Committee.
"I'm strongly in favor of the on-campus housing
proposal," Norberg said. "I Chink it is very important
that low cost housing be available."
He said that 142 people were on the waiting list for
on campus housing in March 1976. In March of 19S0,
1,236 people were on the waiting list. These figures

ting apart the amount of land they did."
Officials at National Humanities Center looked
at 26 sites all over the country before deciding to
locate at Research Triangle Park, said the center's
director, William Bennett.
Bennett said the proximity of several universi
ties, the park site and the enthusiasm of the peo
ple combined to make Research Triangle the cen
ter's choice. "It was so many things coming to
gether," he said. "There was a very positive air."
Money said the first research park, and the one
which Research Triangle Park was somewhat
modeled after, was Stanford Industrial Park near
Stanford University in Palo Alto, Ca. That park
began in 1951.
Stanford, which is only 700 acres, leases its land
because acreage is so limited. Research Triangle
has enough land to sell to interested companies.
To be successful, Money said, a research park
needed organizers who could get along
with both a university and a business,
a clearly defined policy of what the
park is and "somebody in charge,
not an anonymous committee."
Money's research park at the Uni
versity of Utah is patterned after Stan
ford Industrial Park, as are most other
parks, because of land limitations. But
a park now in the planning stages in
central Florida is similar to Research
Triangle, its planners say.
Dr. Ralph Gunter, executive director of the
Central Florida Research Park, said the park could
one day be the size of Research Triangle Park be
cause of the amount of available land in Florida.

At the end of the first week of hearings
the Finance Committee of the Campus
Governing Council has recommended
cutting the budgets of 18 of the 34 organ-.
izations requesting funding.
After another week and a half of hear
ings, the Finance Committee will present
a tentative breakdown of the $207,390
budget to the entire CGC for approval.
The committee has recommended allo
cations of approximately 75 percent of
what each organization had requested this
week. To balance the budget, the com
mittee must grant an average of 67 per
cent, Finance Committee Chairperson
Mike Vandenbergh said Sunday.
The request that drew the most dis
cussion was that of the new weekly news
paper, The Phoenix. The publication's
request of $20,334.50 was cut by the Fi
nance Committee to a recommended
$13,474. The original request was more
than 9 percent of the total amount avail
able for allocation.

budgeting process, this request was con-

show a "strong trend towards students wanting to live
on campus," he said.
A survey conducted by the Office of Student Affairs
showed that students wanted housing that was conveni
ent to campus, well-managed and was low-cost, he
said.
There is not much difference between the costs of the
off-campus apartments and the on-campus dorm, but
the dorm is more desirable because 4t meets the neces
sary criteria.
The approximate costs for dormitories in 1934 would
be $828 per year, compared to the present rate of $662
per year. The new dormitory rate would be from $2,203
to $2,279. The price of the new dorm, if costs are
spread over the other dorms by $100, would be $883 to
1959.
Norberg said he did not object to the cost of the new
dormitory being distributed over current housing rents,
because it would be cheaper than apartments. "It is the
only way housing will be affordable."

"1 don't know how big this park will get, but it
has a lot of potential," Gunter said. The park is
being developed near the University of Central
Florida in Orlando.
Gunter is very optimistic about the success of
his park and other research parks. "I really believe
the future for research and development companies
will be to locate near a university," he said.
Gunter said companies which located near uni
versities attracted researchers, who want to keep
one foot in the university door. Research compa
nies in turn find it easier to recruit the quality of.
people they're looking for near a university, he
said.
Bob Anderson, managing partner of Chapel Hill
City Planning and Architectural Associates, is
helping to plan the new Florida park. More than
20 years ago he helped plan Research Triangle.
"It's a good concept," Anderson said. "You
take advantage of available brains at universities,"
and universities take advantage of research facil
ities. "It's a complimentary thing," he said.
Officials at Stanford University and Research
Triangle Park both said that many people toured
the parks every week, thinking about starting sim
ilar projects.
In the Research Triangle area, the park has made
the surrounding communities grow tremendously,
and with that growth has come related growing
pains for the area.
The park has put pressure on municipal facili
ties to expand rapidly, Raleigh Public Planner
Butch Breazeala said. In the future, Breazeala
said, there is a potential problem in sudden demand
on facilities.

tested publicly. A 12-page report ques
tioning the Finance Committee's assess
ment of The Phoenix as a "very high cal
iber publication dedicated to in-depth
investigative reporting on issues not cov
ered in existing campus publications (in
particular, the pn)," was submitted to
the committee by senior Frasier Ives. Ives
is the former campaign manager of The
Daily Tar Heel editor Jim Hummel.
"Committee members are lobbied
everyday," Vandenbergh said. "The re
port seemed to fall under this category. 1
think the report was important only in
stating in written form many of the ques
tions that 'needed to be asked.
"I am disappointed The Phoenix staff
was not given a report the same time the
committee was," he said.
Ives said he wrote the report because he
thought the campus did not need another
publication and that a new addition would
hurt the already existing publications.
"In my opinion The Pliocnix duplicates
many of the functions already funded by
the CGC," he said.
"Because of their (The Phoenix's) large
request all other organizations would get
even less than they did last year." One of
Tfie Phoenix's editors, Thomas Jessiman,
called the report a vicious attack on their
publication.
"The whole tone of the thing was aimed
at discrediting our paper in the hope of
defeating our budget request," he said.
"The damage is irrevocable because the
CGC and the money decides the future
of our paper. It is still unbelievable to
me that we were never shown a copy until
the meeting itself."
Jim Hummel, Daily Tar Heel editor,
approved having the report presented to
the committee after conferring with other
DTH editors.
"We have never questioned The Phoe
nix's right to exist as some people sec thii
action as being," he said. "We simply
wanted to give the CGC an alternate point
of view, which we feci they had not got,
and express our belief that The Phoenix
funding request was excessive."
Vandenbergh summed up the commit
tee's view of the new newspaper: "The
