Police tie rape of student
to three other area rapes
By DEBORAH SIMPKINS
Staff Wriler
A UNC woman was raped Saturday
morning in the Airport Road area in
Chapel Hill by a suspect who police
believe committed three other rapes in
that area two in the past month.
Lt. Ralph V. Pendergraph said the
v rape occurred Saturday at about 1:30
a.m. The woman was taken to N.C.
Memorial Hospital where she was
treated and released, he said.
Pendergraph said the police believ
ed the same suspect committed all
four rapes because of the similarity of
the attacks. He said a knife was used
in each assault, and all the attacks
took place in the area north of
Rosemary Street, south of Estes
Drive, and in the vicinity of Airport
Road. All four victims, including two
UNC women, were alone at the time
of the rapes, he said.
The description police have of the
suspect is vague, Pendergraph said.
He is described as a black man in his
20s or 30s, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 170-185
pounds, and usually clean-shaven.
People with any information may
call the Chapel Hill police department
at 968-2760. Callers do not have to
give their names, Pendergraph said.
Activities Board selects chairmen
The Carolina Union Activities Board
has announced its new committee chair
men for 1984-85.
Union President-elect Terry Bowman
said he is pleased with the. new line-up.
"I think the best word to describe these
people is energetic and enthusiastic.
They're going to do something and
they're going to do it well," he said.
Bowman said a student's will to be
committed weighed more heavily than
previous experience in the decision
making. He said that of the 1 1 new chairmen,
four had no Union experience.
"We needed people who didn't have a.
lot of other commitments," he said.
"Although we're not a very visible or
ganization, we put in about 15 hours a
week, and that doesn't include the pro
grams we attend."
The new chairmen will begin their
terms of office at the end of April,
Bowman said. The Activities Board uses
a transition period system so that the old
chairmen can have time to help out those
who are coming in.
The new committee chairmen are Tori
Ralston, film; Tommy Williams, forum;
Elaine Shen, gallery, David Zubkoff,
human relations; Susan Fowler, perform
ing arts; Rah Bickley, public relations;
Christy Thomas, publicity; Bill Wilson,
social; Lucy Blackford, special interest
classes and Amy Fonville, special pro
jects. MELISSA HOLLAND
Bar closed for not paying rent
Harrison's Restaurant and Bar, located
on Franklin Street, was shut down by the
Orange County Sheriffs Department
Monday, March 12, due to a writ of eject
ment filed by the landlord.
Sergeant Charlie Burnette, who served
the civil papers, said the landlord filed the
eviction notice because Harrison's owed
several months of rent.
Harrison's is now padlocked, Burnette
said. The owners have 21 days to remove
their property, he said, or the landlord
can take the property and sell it to obtain
the back rent.
Harrison's is owned by DPS Corpora
tion, which leases from Bob Simpson,
owner of Towne and Campus. Both DPS
and Simpson refused to comment be-,
cause they are still negotiating.

UNC files suit against
IRS
Wednesday, March 21. 1984The Daily Tar Heel3
to regain taxes
By RUTHIE PIPKIN
, Staff Writer
UNC has filed suit against the Internal Revenue Ser
vice to regain almost $5 million in back taxes and in
terest, UNC paid the taxes on university-owned water,
electric and telephone utilities' earnings from
1971-1977 and on the $44 million sale of the utilities in
1977, said Wayne Jones, UNC's associate vice
chancellor for finance.
State utilities are tax exempt, Jones said, and as a
state agency, UNC claims it's utilities should not have
been taxed.
UNC provided utilities to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
area and the IlCs holds this taxable as business
unrelated to the function of the state, Jones said.
"The problem is not with utilities generated for
ourselves, but (those) unrelated to our purposes," Jones
said. .,
"If we billed the Housing Department for utilities,
this was excluded," he said. "If we billed a faculty
member living in a house on Franklin Street, this was
taxed." -
UNC contests that total university consumption
should include the students and employees provided
with off-campus service, said Jones.
UNC also claims the "doctrine of intergovernmen
tal immunity," which bars the federal government
from taxing any part of a state, exempts the University
and all its components.
"We feel we should be upheld on our first claim
that any utility operated by the state is not subject to
tax without ever getting to our other two claims,"
Jones said
Assistant Attorney General George W. Boylan,
UNC's representative in the lawsuit, said the suit was
filed only after UNC had exhausted its administrative
remedies.
After the assessment was first filed, Jones said,
UNC pleaded the case to the IRA district director but
was rejected, Jones said.
UNC paid the taxes in 1982 to prevent mounting in
terest, then filed for a refund and was turned down
again, he said.
The next step was to file the suit.
"The fact that the IRS had gone to the trouble to do
the assessment and come up with the statement show
ed they would not be ready to give up without an argu
ment," Jones said.
"We were not really surprised when they didn't give
the refund."
A partments offer con veniences for the handicapped
By TRACY HILTON
Staff Writer
Adelaide Walters Apartments, a new
24-unit apartment complex designed for
the elderly and handicapped, is taking ap
plications for occupancy' beginning in
April.
-"Anyone who is .an Orange County
resident and is handicapped or over
& years od may aDply," Martha
Branscombe, president of Community
Housing Alternatives, said.
The. apartment complex, of 605 Air
port Road, was designed for the con
venience of the elderly and for use by
handicapped or frail people, she said.
All the apartments can be made safe
for elderly tenants to help them maintain
independence, and safety devices are
available for the handicapped,
Branscombe said. All the doors are wide
enough for wheelchairs. Also, kitchens
can be equipped with working counters
that can be adjusted up or down for
easier use. Bath bars can be put into the
bathrooms, she said. "We also have
elevator service throughout the building,
and there is a ramp available in case of
any breakdowns." .
Each apartment is equipped with in
dividual controls for cooling and heating,
a carpeted living room and bedrooms,
and a full bathroom and kitchen.
Branscombe said the location is conve
nient to downtown shopping. "We're on
ly two blocks from Columbia Street, so
people can walk to the middle of town
easily," she said.
The apartments are available to people
with a low- to moderate-income, and rent
will be a maximum of 30 percent of in
dividual incomes, Branscombe said.
"We hope that this project will be the
beginning of many facilities for the elder
ly and handicapped," she said.
Applications and futher information
are available at the Department of Aging
offices at 410 Caldwell Street Extension,
telephone 968-4478.
Health Fair will bring free
clinic to Univers
itv Mall
The 1984 Health Fair will be held Fri
day and Saturday, from 1 1 a.m, to 5 p.m.
at University Mall. It is organized by the
National Health Screening Council for
Volunteer Organizations and is part of
National Health Awareness Week (March
22-April 1).
"It's part of a national volunteer effort
to make an impact on the health and well-
being of Americans," Karen Tager, a
UNC graduate student and local coor
dinator said.
The Health Fair consists of 1 1 tests,
. such as blood pressure, vision, hearing,
and anemia, "to make people more
aware of their own health," Tager said.
All are free with the exception of a blood
chemistry test.
The local sponsors are WRAL and
Winn Dixie. Two hundred volunteers
from UNC and the community will ad
minister the tests. "I should emphasize
that the health screenings do not in any
way replace a physical examination given
by a physician," Tager said.
The Health Fair at University Mall, on
ly one of hundreds being held across the
country, will also feature exhibits. For ex
ample, the Burn Unit at Memorial
Hospital will present an exhibit on how to
treat burns.
Anyone over 18 can participate; it is
even a required project for the School of
Nursing. "It's a good self-assessment
tool," Tager added.
