From hundreds of cities and towns around the world, students came by droves to begin a new experience at Carolina. The onslaught of wood paneled station wagons, pickup trucks and family cars came packed full o.f hot pots, stereos, teddy bears things necessary for survival in the strange new world of college. As the occupants emerged from their cars, looks of bewilderment and familiar sounds were seen and heard. "Where are the washers and dryers?" Red-faced moms and dads began the long journey up and down stairs in a ceaseless effort to comfortably settle their college bound children. Cars were parked on sidewalks everywhere on campus. Traffic moved slowly but there were no serious problems or accidents. One traffic officer remarked, "All I have to do is point and the cars generally follow my directions pretty well." There were a couple of minor han gups on Stadium Drive due to the one way traffic. Several parents unloading cars at Granville Towers .said their trip into Chapel Hill was much easier than they expected. A father from Greensboro commented,"! heard it was a nightmare fighting the traffic up here, but the police have done a very good job of controlling the situation." New students and parents worked hand in hand with the orientation counselors. In South Campus residence halls the biggest complaint was the long waif for elevators, which could be as much as a half-hour. : , : "ThiV is crazy. These elevators are operating in slow motion," said one mother in the lobby of Hinton James. A student in Morrison moved into one room and was then informed he had been transferred to another room higher in the dormitory. Charlie Furr, a freshman from Charlotte who lives in Ehringhaus, was pleased with his fifth floor room. "Everything's gone good so far. The room isn't all that big but I have a great view of the baseball field," Furr said. He added, "I haven't walked all over campus yet but I think I'm gonna like this place." On North Campus things were running smoothly too. Kevin Yoo, an Atlanta freshman, said he had an easy move into his Lewis room, but was displeased with the room itself. "I dont like my room. There is plaster coming off the walls and I'm going to have to ' repaint the whole thing," Yoo said. "Besides the room, everything else is great," he added. Amy Meadows, a freshman from Winston-Salem, was very pleased with her room in Cobb. The move in was "crazy," Meadows said, "but the OCs were very helpful." While Meadows and her mother were putting the finishing touches on the room and trying to resolve the problem of dividing closet space between four roommates, she said she was -ready to ; get out and go uptown. When asked what she had planned for Sunday evening, she excitedly replied, "I heard there's a Deke party tonight!" Sophomore OC Ginny Wilson took a minute to catch her breath and comment on the day's work. "I think everyone lives on fourth floor," she said. With the sounds of hammering and sawing echoing through the trees of North Campus and Domino's Pizza deliverymen bringing food to the hungry students in their new surround ings, this 1 86th freshman class began . their four-year stay at Carolina. At the end of the day, students were relaxing on benches and walls outside residence halls seemingly without a worry in the world.

Cowan said SHS is making several changes to improve the health care the service provides, but the most important to students would be the new system whereby a student should call ahead and schedule a definite visit for that day or a later time. Also SHS will now ask students to select one physician to follow their medical care throughout their time at UNC. "These changes will improve on the continuity of care the SHS provides, cut down on the time students have to i ss JS Ti 1 1 1 1 bj,y ii ! h rt I her feet a rest during Sunday's move-in Service changing Students asked to call ahead for appointments wait and even out the work day of the health care practitioners," Cowan said. According to Cowan, five new phone lines were installed to accommodate the increased number of calls for appoint ments. Students who come in without appointments will be given an appoint ment but will probably have to wait, she said. She added that, as always, emergencies would be handled immediately. Cowan said a new service SHS would provide this fall would be the cold care center. At the center a student, with the help of a nurse, can assess the approp riate care for a cold or sore throat without having to see a physician. If further examination is necessary, an appointment will be made with a doctor, she said. special OMBNTATION ISSU DTHJeff Neuville of about 6,000 freshmen. "These changes will improve on the continuity of care the SHS provides, cut down on the time students have to wait and even out the work day of the health care practitioners' Dr. Judith Cowan, SHS director . SHS Dr. Bruce Vukoson said the changes would take time to get used to but would improve the quality of care in the long run. He said the appointment system would not change the number of people the SHS could accommodate each day but would more evenly divide the physicians workload. "There tend to be big crunches during the day when a lot of people are seeking E 16 4- arresx alcofao By LISA BRANTLEY Staff Writer Chapel Hill police arrested 16 people on alcohol-related charges in the vicinity of Cameron Avenue and South Columbia Street Tuesday night. Two were arrested for underage possession of alcohol, 14 for public .consumption, and one, a student, for littering when he was observed tossing a beer can in the street. According to Chapel Hill law, liquor and malt beverages may not be con sumed on public premises such as streets, sidewalks, town-owned build ings and municipal parks. Of the 14 arrests for public consump tion of alcohol, 1 1 arrests involved UNC students, two arrests involved N. C. State and Meredith students, and one arrest involved a local radio station employee. Master officer Gregg Jarvies of the Chapel Hill Police Department said he thought this was an alarming number of arrests. "School's not even in session and upperclassmen are not even sup posed to be back," he said. Jarvies said orientation week and weekends are traditionally the busiest times for alcohol enforcement. Although no Chapel Hill police officers are specifically assigned full-time to alcohol enforcement, four off-duty officers have been employed on the weekends to handle DWI offenses in Chapel Hill for the past two years. "Our enforcement of alcohol laws will be consistent throughout the year," Jarvies said. "I would hope with the number of arrests made last night that word will continue to spread among the students." According to Jarvies, the Chapel Hill Police Department is trying to educate the 3,000 incoming freshmen on Chapel Hill alcohol law. As a part of this effort, Jarvies said he had appeared at many freshman orientation events with a presentation on alcohol. He said the most Chapel Hill arrests for public consumption occur near fraternity houses. Although no arrests were made .Sunday night at the all-campus party given at the Delta Kappa Epsilon house on Columbia Street, Jarvies said that the party, which was attended by many underage freshmen, did not go unno ticed by the police. "We made no arrests, but we are aware of what went on and will take measures to stop it," he said. Although representatives of Student Legal Services are not permitted to go to court in criminal cases, many student alcohol cases are handled through a care at the same time. This new system should even out those peaks and valleys and allow the doctor to spend more time with each patient and thus provide better care," he said. Vukoson added that the new practice of having students see the same phy sicians throughout their careers at UNC would allow the physician and the student to become better acquainted 1 b Oil charges . program called the Community Servi ces Restitution Program, said Legal Services. Director Dorothy Bernholz, who is a board member of both programs. Although most Chapel Hill alcohol convictions involve payment of a small fine and court costs of $35, the option of community service is available at the discretion of the judge. Recently, Bernholz said, the district attorney's office has adopted a new policy of no longer allowing automatic deferred prosecution in cases of under age consumption of alcohol. "There isn't as much leeway," Bern holz said. "I suspect youH see alcohol prosecution get tougher and tougher." In the past, under deferred prosecu tion, cases against students who did community service work in lieu of paying fines for underage possesion of alcohol were often dismissed so that the students would not have criminnal records. Now, according to Bernholz, students must befound not guilty in order to escape having a criminal record. "I don't think any student in Chapel Hill will actually go to jail on alcohol possesion charges," Bernholz said, "but the financial and social aspects are severe." Under Chapel Hill law, underage possession of alcohol through the use of a false ID can result in a loss of driver's license for one year. Aiding and , abetting the underage purchase of j. alcohol (loaning an ID), carries the ? same penalty. According to Bernholz, the Chapel Hill police frequently stake out the ABC store at Eastgate Shopping Center to prevent the illegal purchase of liquor by older students for their younger friends. During the month of July, the Community Services Restitution Pro gram handled four cases in which community service was required of students convicted on alcohol charges. The average work sentence was fifteen hours of service. Several freshmen interviewed on their way to placement tests Tuesday morn ing said they have noticed the campaign to prevent underage possession of alcohol but do not think it will change their drinking habits. Freshman Darrin Poole, a mathem atical sciences major from Robbins, expressed a common freshman senti ment. "I think if people are going to drink they're going to drink no matter what age they are, but they may be more careful about drinking in public." and would result in the physician having a greater ability to assess the student's health problems. "It will be sort of like a family physician for the student, which I think will be advantageous for both the student and the doctor," he said. - Cowan said SHS handled an average of 300 people a day in its four service sections. These sections include Clinical Medicine, which handles most health care needs; Sports Medicine, where treatment and rehabilitation for most injuries are provided; Mental Health, which provides confidential counseling on a variety of personal problems; and Women's Health, staffed by a gynecol ogist and two family nurse practitioners. SHS currently has 15 physicians and five nurses, Cowan said. LingO. UNC has a language ail its own. To decipher the codes, read the story on page Bl.
