Student Government recently sent
memorandums to each of the chairmen
of the University departments urging
them to remind their faculty members to
get book order forms into the Student
Store as soon as possible.
Student Body President Scott Norberg
said that book order forms were due April 3
and that, as of April 7, only 23 percent
of the instructors had turned them in. ,
Norberg pointed out two main problems
caused by the tardiness of the orders.
"First, the student doesn't know whether
or not the present books will be used
next semester. The student can't get the
full buy-back value from the Student
Store. He can only get from 10 percent to
33 percent of the book's price rather than
the usual 50 percent. The Student Store
just doesn't want to take the chance that
the book will not be used next semester.
"Secondly, the Student Store won't be
able to buy used books at competitive
prices on the market if they don't have
the book order forms," Norberg said.
R. Don Higginbotham, chairman of the
history department, said concerning the
memo, "I can certainly see what the pro
blem is. I'm putting out a departmental
bulletin today to remind the faculty to
move speedily on this matter and I under
stand the point of view and concern of
the students."
Joseph Flora, chairman of the English
department, said he did not have the exact
numbers on faculty members who had
yet to turn in their book orders, but he
was looking into the matter and wjl
genuinely concerned.
"As soon as I got that memo, I appre
ciated what it was saying and got the girl
in charge of this area to look into this,"
said Edward Montgomery, head of the
Romance Language department, "We ,
normally have a . pretty good number
who get their orders in but we have some
who don't. I said to get on these peep's
immediately."
Chairman of the Student Store Advi
sory Committee Donald Eeascn said
that Tuesday the committee voted to
send a letter to all the department chair
men and possibly to all the instructors to
stress the problem of late book orders.

The North Carolina Utilities Commission
Wednesday approved a new Southern Bell
Telephone rate schedule which is higher
than present charges, but lower than what
the telephone company expected to receive.
Chapel Hill's monthly rates will increase
from $7.90 to $9.10. ,
Students living on campus will now be
charged $15.55 for phone installation,
which is an increase of 35 cents over
present charges.
Chapel Hill residents and off-campus
students will now have to pay $42.35 for
installation, an increase of $5.60.
TJie new rates are scheduled to go into
effect today.
Adjustments were made on certain long
distance rates. The initial time-period on
operator-assisted station and person-to-person
calls was reduced from three
minutes to one minute. Charges for the
initial one-minute period and additional
minutes were not changed. Operator-assisted
station calls now cost 70 cents and
person-to-person calls $1.70.
The new long distance rates went into
effect Thursday.
On April 3, the commission granted
Southern Bell a 7.8 percent increase in
revenues which will amount to $42.7
million a year. The company had asked
"(Deeue.
for a 13.1 percent increase, which would
have amounted to $68 million a year.
Southern Bell District Manager M.W.
Carson said he was disappointed by the
commission's ruling.
"The return that this will give us on our
investment is not nearly what wc feel in
vestors expect," he said. "We felt we
had presented our case well."
Student Body President Scott Nofberg
said the amount of the increase for
students proved that they could, when
organized, have an influence.
"I think that it was very important to
the fact that we had such a small increase
on campusi" he,said.
I really think we made an impact. Our
efforts showed that we did something
about it," Residence Hall Association
President Robert Bianchi said. "I'm
glad it's only that much because it could
have been much more. We put up a little
bit of a fight."
In February, representatives from RHA
presented the commission with petitions
signed by over 5,000 students protesting
the rate increases. Then-RHA President
Peggy Leight testified before the commis-'
sion during its hearings.
The commission approved a charge of
$7.90 for central office work wiring

its successes and its potential problems. All indica

The Park has existed for about 22 years, melding
industry, education, research and government, and
it has seen in this combination a success that has
been unequaled in bringing in development and in
dustry, as well as cultural and employment benefits,
to the central North Carolina landscape.
Although no public money has been spent on
running the Park, the people of the Triangle have
. surely benefited from it. '

ped potential. A substantial percentage of the 5,700
acres that make up the Park is still not occupied.
There is every reason to believe that government

will move in and bring more prosperity to the area.

The establishment of the Park has apparently

I Satieties i". 3w that a significantly higher number of
the univeriity graduates have remained in North .
Carolina to pursue careers since the Park built up
momentum in the middle 1960s.
The R:: : :;h Triangle Park still has much untap-
The suburban, unharried lifestyle of the area
insures that the Park's growth will continue. But
that growth, in turn, threatens the very pristeen life
style which makes the Triangle attractive.
From 1960 to 1979, the Triangle's crime rate ex
perienced a 585 percent increase. The same crime
rate for the state as a while for the same period
showed only a 53 percent rise.
State and local governments might well find
themselves hard-pressed to provide services ranging
from police protection to transportation, for a
rapidly growing population.
"As for housing, this area has a very low vacancy
rate of about 3 percent. A more normal rate would
be around 5 percent. Thus, a newcomer's freedom
' of choice in his living arrangements is limited," said
Ray Green, director of planning for Triangle J
. Council of 'Governments.'"" ' ".'""' " "
Thursday's installment of this series cited the real
possibility that Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill
might eventually merge into a megalopolis. Ned
Huffman, executive vice president of the Research
Triangle Foundation, pointed to studies that pre
dicted a megalopolis extending from Richmond,
Va., to Spartanburg, S.C.
The rapid rate of development presents an ob
vious threat to the relatively tranquil lifestyle of the
area. But few Triangle observers are willing to trade
in the excellent economic and cultural possibilities
presented by that progress.

Checking his watch every few minutes. Cam
pus Governing Council Speaker pChino Martin
added up almost enough minutes to equal an
hour before 14 members arrived at the Wednes
day meeting. Fourteen brought the number to
only half the council members just enough
to have a quorum.
"Yes I am pretty upset," said Martin shortly
after the 20-minute meeting was over. The
meeting was needed to take care of some im
portant business before the final meeting later
this year, Martin said, adding that "last year ,
we never had this kind of problem.
"The b::cst problem this year will be get
ting council members to do their job and do it
well if the legislative branch is to gain the type
of respect that it should have,' he said.
Although the 5:33 p.m. meeting time was
not the. normal time for the bi-monthly meet
ings cf the CGC, Martin said the council was
informed as long as two weeks ego of the time
"It is the time of the semester," lorn Morris,
Student Affairs Committee Chairperson said.
"It means a lack of commitment," said Rules
and Judiciary Committee Chairperson Donald
Munro. But, he added, "We always have to ac
count for human error."
Contacting some cf the absent members after
the meeting, homework and personal commit
ments were found as the major reasons for
absences.
"I feel it is unfortunate that it happened,
but we are all human and we can't make every
meeting," said Nan Dhekerby (District 14). "It is
my top priority to make every meeting, but
today was a big exception, she said as she told
of how the meeting time conflicted with hei job
schedule.
Chip Mcdlin (District 13) said he felt his ab

something more urgen to do, then I feel he is
justified in missing a mecling," Mcdlin said,

The UNC Board of Trustees recently reed to
add a r'.2a to build a $7 million, 500-bed resi
dence hall to their budget proposals bound for
the N.C. General Assembly.
To many, the move represents a giant step
towards relieving the housing blight that has
plagued both UNC and Chapel Hill for years.

must look at what it can and what it can't do,"
Condle said. "If the interest rates were to come
down to 9 percent or 10 percent, then private
enterprise would build housing near campus."
But trying to fulfill the students' needs would
not be easy, Condle said.
"A survey done by the University last fall in
dicates that students prefer to have their housing

he said, "That's pretty tough for private enter- -prise
to do, especially having it !owost and

After the meeting started the CGC passed
the new by-laws for the Media Board. The ma
jor changes from the old by-laws are the selec
tion of two faculty members to serve on the
board instead of one, Munro said.
Tickets for election of officers of publications
under the Media Board now must have both an
editor and business manager listed on them,
also.1 This Would help ensure that the two officers
could work together, List end of having the Board

In other business, the CGC unanimously ap

assistants to the Attorney GcneraJ.

"I believe in principle that the University
should not build housing if private enterprise
can do it," Condie said. "But if they can't do it,
or won't do it, then the University needs to build
housing to satkfy the need that can be consis
