Seeking resident status
Calling N, Co home keeps tuition down
By SHERR1 CREECH
1JTH Slatf Writer v
To avoid the rising cost of out-of-state tuition,
many UNC students try each year to get in-state resi
dency' status. ' ' .
The main criteria the student must meet to obtain
in-state status are proof that he has lived in the state
12 months prior to making application and that he
has tried to get residency by getting an N.C. driver's
license, registering to vote and opening an account in
a local bank."
Brad amb, residency advisor for the Student
Consumer Action Union, said the burden was always
on the student to begin the process. "If you don't
apply (for in-state residency) you can't, possibly win.
"In general, people who have beer, here for one
year, who think they are residents of North Carolina
and want relief from the tremendously high out-of-state
tuition, can apply to get in-state tuition," Lamb
said! He added that specifics were hard to come by
and that each case was examined on an individual
basis.
A student begins the process by filling out the
4-page application form, which must be picked up
and turned in to the General Admissions Office. ."
Three situations can result once the admissions
office has reviewed the ' application. Admissions
classifies the student as a resident; admissions classi
fies the student as a non-resident which can be ap
pealed by the student; or admissions can classify the
applicant as a resident, but the decision is reviewed
by South Building which is called a "University
Appeal," Lamb said.
If a hearing to be held by the Residence Status
Comm; Jc ro.ctfH v v the sfvHent or the Univer
sity, Lamb emphasized that it would be important
for the student to attend the hearing to discuss the
case. He added that the student should have a copy
of the application or get one before the hearing. The
student will be notified within a week to 10 days after
the hearing concerning the decision.
If the RSC denies a student in-state residency
status, the student can appeal the decision to the
State Residence Committee. If that also proves un
successful, the student can explore the possibilities of
legal court proceedings.
Because this process can often be complicated and
time consuming, SCAU's Residency Counseling
Center is available to students who are seeking help
or advice. In addition, there will be a workshop in '
mid-September for in-state residency counseling.
SCAU is located in Suite B of the Carolina Union.

The Orange Water and Sewer Authority
Board of Directors discussed a potential
problem with extensions td the area sewer
system in its meeting of the whole com
mittee Wednesday afternoon. . .
"We (the committee) were notified of a
possible problem in the extensions," said
board chairman David Moreau. The board
got a letter from the state, he said, that
restricts extensions until the new O WAS A
wastewater plant on Mason Farm Road is
finished.
"This is contrary to the present, con
tract," Moreau said, "and could be of
considerable importance."
The matter was discussed in executive
session.
The new plant is scheduled for comple
tion by July 1, 1983. Moreau added that
OWASA had made various extensions in
the system for four years, and "now we
get a letter saying we can't."
The committee also heard a report on
fire hydrants located in the county.
Moreau said the committee set a date
by which OWASA would ask fire districts
to comply with its regulations, dealing
mainly with rental fees for the district's
, hydrants, which are provided by OWASA.
A reclassification of OWASA's pay plan
, also was discussed in executive sessibn.
"There are about $4,000 in adjustments
needed to bring these positions into com
parable positions elsewhere," Moreau
said.
The whole board will meet next Thurs
day night at 7:30 in Carrboro's Town Hall.
At that time, a new chairman of the
Board will be elected. " v
Lennox apartments still a bargain, manager says
By MICHELLE CH RISTEN BURY
DTII Starr Wriler
In response to tenants' discontent over
recent rent increases at Glen Lennox
Apartments, Ralph Bass, general man
ager of the apartment complex, said Glen
Lennox was still the cheapest place to live
in Chapel Hill.
Bass said a one-bedroom apartment in
cluding all utilities cost $219 per month,
and a two-bedroom apartment including
all utilities cost $259 per month.
"To me, that's still about the best deal
in Chapel Hill," Bass said.
Bass said only six people had moved
out of the apartments in reaction to the
recent rent increase.
"In our opinion, that's a very low num
ber considering the transitory environment
of Chape! Hill.
"The bottom line is this," Bass said.
"The other (tenants') reaction is not great,
but we don't have many people leaving
arid we still have a lot of people who want
to rent.
"Our waiting list vacillates from 250 to
325," Bass said. "We even have an appli
cation from one lady who wants to rent
an apartment for 1984, and she has given
us a $200 security deposit already."
Bass said that Glen Lennox apartments
offered many advantages.
"Our apartments are no cement city,"
Bass said. "They have a charming atmos
phere with spacious grounds and are con
veniently located near the Research Tri
angle Park and the University."
Several residents expressed concern
that they would not be able to afford their
apartments if management installed indi
vidual heating units in the apartments.
Currently, each block of apartments shares
a common heating unit.
"We're not sure what we're going to do
right now," Bass said. "It's still under
study. The present heating systems are
old equipment; they are energy inefficient
and they are hard to get parts for. We're
just trying to deal in today's workL In
1949 (when the complex was built), it (the
heating system) was a great thing."
