Development of a local Ronald McDonald House
and an Inter-Faith Council shelter for the homeless
has been delayed because the Chapel Hill Town
Council decided Monday night that the facilities
need further study before zoning regulations can
be clarified.
The Ronald McDonald House would provide
temporary housing for families of patients being
treated at local hospitals. The Inter-Faith Council
shelter would provide a place for the homeless.
Town Manager David R. Taylor and the Human
Services Advisory Board are to reconsider the
purpose and the parking and traffic implications
of each facility before the council can rule on them.
They also plan to study how safe such facilities are
when placed in local neighborhoods.
The council will then decide whether the facilities
should obtain special use permits to build in
residential areas or if they can only be constructed
in commercial zones.
Planning Director Roger Walden questioned
regulating the length of each occupant's stay in the
units, whether professional facilities would be
required or prohibited, and what constituted special
uses in certain districts.
"Our thrust was to allow more autonomy to the
units as non-profit businesses who could manage
their own business," said Alice Ingram, planning
board chairman.
Following debate about rewording the Ronald
McDonald House recommendation, council
member Nancy Preston requested discussion about
the "sort of people" the Inter-Faith shelter would
accommodate in relation to the surrounding
neighborhood.
Jacqueline Gist, shelter coordinator, said a large
portion of those helped by the existing facility were
financially distressed. While some are alcoholics,
others are "healthy people who just can't make it,"
she said.
In response to Preston's question about whether
disruptions could be controlled in such a shelter,
Gist said, "Once it's clear that they (certain residents)
are trouble . . . they're out."
"We (the council) ought to give serious thought
to putting in our ordinance that shelters could be
in residential areas," Preston said.
"I don't have trouble with the Ronald McDonald
House, but I do with the shelters," she said.
Council member Bill Thorpe said he supported
the special use permit in certain locations, and
councilman David Pasquini suggested additional
research on the impact of each facility if placed
in a neighborhood setting.
R.D. Smith, another council member, said he
hated to see either the Ronald McDonald House
or the shelter condemned because of possible safety
problems to surrounding territory.
"I think there is an element of danger in every
house," he said. "We ought to be compassionate
enough to think about those people less fortunate
than we are."
Mayor Joe Nassif stressed the need for both units
in Chapel Hill, but said he did not want "to hassle
a special use permit when that won be the design."
If they are to be commercially zoned or need
other special provisions otherwise then that is what
should be stated, he said. "You can't put them out
in the boonies because that's not where they want
to be," Nassif said.
Second on the agenda was a hearing about a
special use permit for construction of 72 units on
the east side of Hillsborough Street, south of
Bolinwood Drive.
The 14 requested acres for the project are zoned
residential and resource conservation, so the council
expressed concern over the amount of natural site
destruction as well as traffic safety, sanitation
services and storm water control for the multi-family
units.
Permit applicant John McAdams of Mill Race
Associates said he felt the developers had done the
best job possible considering the site's hilly terrain
and surrounding trees.
The council, however, had doubts and approved
a motion by Pasquini to refer the design back to
Taylor and the developers for further changes in
response to the council's concerns.

Hariris indicted on mwnrdei
9
rape charges by grand jury
By DORA McALPIN
Staff Writer
An Orange County grand jury
indicted Alton Eugene Harris Monday
on charges of murder and attempted
rape in the March 16 stabbing death
of a UNC sophomore.
Harris, 20, was indicted in the murder
of 19-year-old Freshteh Golkho, who
was stabbed to death in her apartment
at J-I Royal Park Apartments in
Carrboro.
Last week. District Attorney Carl
Fox said evidence released during a 2 la
bour probable cause hearing last
Wednesday linked Harris to Golkho's
death.
Fox said blood found on Harris'
shoes and clothing matched Golkho's
blood type. He also said Harris'
fingerprints were found on the victim's
anartment window. .
College Bowl
At that hearing, a Carrboro police
investigator testified that Harris said he
owned a wallet found a foot away from
Golkho's body.
Golkho had been stabbed 18 times,
and part of her clothing had been
stripped from her body, police reports
and photographs revealed at the
hearing.
Police found an 18-inch butcher knife
beneath a pile of bloody clothing near
Golkho's body, investigator John Butler
testified.
At that hearing, the victim's sister
testified that Harris and Golkho did not
get along. She said Harris was dating
one of her sister's roommates at the time
of Golkho's death, and that Golkho
objected to Harris spending too many
nights in the apartment.
Fox said the case would probably be
tried this summer.

Low crime rate reported during festive concert weekend
By LORETTA GRANTHAM
Staff Writer
Despite the large amount of people
and alcohol present during Burnout and
Springfest, crime problems were min
imal this past weekend, said Captain
Ralph Pendergraph of the Chapel Hill
police.
"I think they (the officers) did as well
as they could with those numbers," he
said.
Six DWI arrests were made between
Friday and Sunday according to police
records. Three of those charged are
UNC students.
Most of the six arrests originated
from the two festivals because a
substantial amount of alcohol flowed
at both the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity
house (Burnout) and Connor beach
(Springfest), Pendergraph said.
The biggest problem, however,
occurred around 3:30 a.m. Saturday
when police were called to assist in
removing people from the Delta Kappa
Epsilon fraternity house, he said.
An outdoor mud wrestling compe
tition had attracted a number of
uninvited guests, and DKE members
wanted the area cleared, Pendergraph
said, adding that no one pressed
charges.
"I think it was very poor planning
on the part of fraternity folks," he said.
Although Pendergraph said he did
not know how the fraternity members
could have handled the situation better,
he said they should have anticipated the
wrestling event's ability to draw an
unusual crowd.
"I think it is a good thing for folks
planning events that will be in the public
scrutiny to consider what to do with
uninvited people," Pendergraph said.
"Anything like an outdoor mud wres
tling pit lends itself to people you don't
want."
Another problem facing the police
was the malfunction of their primary
radio frequency, he said. The police had
to transmit on the same frequency as
the fire department.
"Officers were out of service for 10
to 15 minutes dealing with drunks, and
we wouldn't know because we couldn't
transmit at the same time as the fire
department," Pendergraph said.
While many students either walked
or made driving arrangements for
Burnout and Springfest, the concerts
brought in a high number of off-campus
and underage drinkers, he said.
"I heard that the numbers of people
at each event were about the same as
last year or a little smaller," Pender
graph said.
However, because more cars were
parked on public property this year than
during past concerts, he estimated a
larger attendance by out-of-town
visitors.
newspaper.
Team member Peter Weiss, a senior
chemistry major from Rosalyn Heights,
N.Y., said the weirdest question the
team encountered concerned the loca
tion of Mount Mitchell.
Weller was the only undergraduate
coach present at all the competitions
the team entered this year. Most teams,
she said, have either a graduate student
or a faculty member as the team's
organizer and advisor.
Members of the UNC College Bowl
team are team captain Blair Haworth,
a senior history and physics major from
Jamestown; Keith Brown, a graduate
student in political science from Roa
noake, Ala.; Jeff Carnes, a graduate
student in classics from Detroit; Adam
Falk, a sophomore physics major from
Chapel Hill; and Weiss.
