Charity makes Hoinse possible Cy DAN MORRISON Staff Writer Though a lack of funds pre vents its immediate construction. Chapel Hill should have a new Ronald McDonald House by Nov. 1, 1988, Dick Broom, direc tor of public affairs at North Carolina Memorial Hospital, said Wednesday. The House, the third in the state, will be a "home away from home" for parents of critically ill children being treated in the hospital. "The presence of a Ronald McDonald House in Chapel Hill will finally mean a close, affor dable place for parents to live near their sick children," Broom said. "Right now there are very few adequate places for parents to stay; some are even forced to camp outside their child's room," he said. Bordered by Finley Golf Course and the North Carolina Botanical Gardens, the House will be built at the intersection of Old Mason Road and Highland Woods Drive. Chapel Hill Town Council initially approved construction of the House on April 1, but final sketches must be approved by the town staff before construction can begin May 1. Architect Dan Jewell of CHR Associates in Chapel Hill is designing the building. "We plan to raise $1.5 million for the construction and furnish ing of the House," Broom said. "We will receive most of our money from corporations, civic clubs, schools and the like." To date, major fund money has been collected as follows: $200,000 from McDonald's Cor poration, $25,000 from the McDonald's Children's Charity, $75,000 from Glaxo Inc. of Triangle Park, a pharmaceutical company, and $2,000 from the "Wait Olympics" field day held by Chapel Hill restaurants Sunday. "Wait Olympics," the first of its kind, was organized by Karin Burton of Bakatasias Le Nouveau in Durham, who said she was bored and wanted to help some kind of charity. Glaxo Inc. will present a $37,000 check to representatives of the Ronald McDonald House Board of Directors at half-time during the Carolina-Citadel game this Saturday. In addition, two-thirds of the proceeds from the Carolina alumni basketball game Saturday afternoon will go to the House. After this weekend, the House will need an additional $550,000 to meet its goal, Broom said. "We expect to have 20 rooms, with plans for a 10-bedroom addition later on," said Broom. "The House will be a large two story, with a spacious living room, two playrooms, laundry facilities, a kitchen, dining area and library." The Ronald McDonald House will rest on a two-acre plot of land leased by the University at $1 per year. Once completed, the House will join others in Winston Salem, Durham and Greenville as part of the North Carolina Regional Advisory Board for McDonald Houses. The House will cost $80,000 to $100,000 annually to maintain. Broom said. Police understaffed, says councilman By MICHELLE EFIRD Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Police Depart ment may not have enough police to protect the citizens of Chapel Hill, R. D. Smith, Chapel Hill town councilman, said in a telephone interview last week. Smith said he recently received approximately seven telephone calls, mostly from black citizens, who say they have not received adequate service from the department. Many situations which need police attention are not taken care of when citizens call. Smith said, and police tell residents the reason is a lack of manpower. "As council members, we ought to see to it that the police department has the manpower to do the job that's expected of them," Smith said.

Those students intersted in the Toronto Fxchange must have appli cations in by Sept.S and sign up at planner, said the department does have enough personnel for required duties. "Whether or not we need addi tional manpower depends on the level of service the town would like us to fill," Lohmann said. Given the increase in the town's level of growth, the department will keep looking into the problem, Lohmann said. Smith is one of two black council members and said the black residents have probably called him because they feel he is their representative in government. At last week's town council meet ing. Smith also suggested that the one additional policeman authorized in the spring budget work session might not be enough. David Taylor, town manager, said he would investigate the allegation and report back to the council, but assistant town manager Ronald Secrist said a study in 1985 showed the town's police force to be ade quately staffed. The study was performed by Rusten Associates, a management consulting firm from Washington that measures police production and ' does management studies for depart ments across the country, Secrist said. ; By interviewing police officers and administration and by examining police procedures, the firm is able to determine a utilization rate and compare it to other police forces in the country. The rate studies the average amount of time on-duty patrolmen spend responding to calls, and the amount of time officers are on patrol but are not responding to calls, Secrist said. When the utilization rate is kept under 45 percent, police departments are considered to have adequate personnel to handle service, and Chapel Hill's utilization rate was 34.4 percent, he said. Secrist said even though Chapel Hill's service received good marks, it is up to citizens to decide if the level of service is adequate. "If a city determines that it is in its best interest to have a higher level of police patrol n a specific area of town, then that community ought to provide those services,"he said. The manager's office is continually monitoring the utilization rate of police personnel and will respond to Councilman Smith's complaint, Secrist said, j Any determination for additional officers will show up in the manager's report and should be recommended for the 1987-88 budget, Lohmann said. if y ,0 COME TO A SPECTACULAR FASHION EVENT Try on the new Tura frames (as seen injVogue!).

FAIR Staff Writer On Saturday, following the UNC ' vs. The Citadel football game, the greatest names in North Carolina basketball will be assembled under : one roof, to not only brighten people's day but also rock their world with their breathtaking skills. Game time is approximately 45 minutes after the football game. ! The $34 million Dean E. Smith Student Activities Center, which opened in January, will be officially dedicated Saturday, said Roy Wil liams, assistant basketball coach. The ceremonies were put off until this fall instead, of January so more of Smith's top players could come. Williams said without the players' and the successful program under Smith it wouldn't be possible to have a facility like this. "The players really made it pos sible," he said. "It's a testament to the success of the program." ; Plans for the pro-alumni game began in the spring, and invitations to take part in the game were sent to former Tar Heels who have played professional basketball, Williams' said. ' Three former National Players of the Year Phil Ford, James Congress frpm page 1 said his high school experience representing North Carolina at the National Congress for students in the National Forensics League would help. Congress member Jim Adams (Dist. 20) disagreed. "I'm having some hesitations about Mr. Camp's qualifications to adequately serve as a justice," he said. "... It seems to me that the unfamiliarity of not being involved on campus and the fact that we're a lot different than high school I have reservations." Holley, who served as a represen tative to the Campus Governing Council, spoke on Camp's behalf. "We need an outsider to student government on a body of this type," he said. "To say one has to have experience in student government at UNC is an elitist attitude." Also Wednesday, first-year law student James Exum was appointed Supreme Court Associate Justice and Jeannie Mamo was appointed 1 to the Media Board and The Student Educational Broadcasting Board. Worthy and Michael Jordan will be ; playing. Lennie Rosenbluth, a national, player also, will be there, ; but he will not take part in the game. Other Tar Heels playing in the; game will be Sam Perkins, Al Wood, Mike O'Koren, Dndley Bradley; Walter Davis, Bobby Jones, Mitch Kupchak, Tommy LaGarde, Robert McAdoo, Lee Shaffer, Bill Bunting, Bill Chamberlain, Geff Crompton, John Kuester, Dick Grubar, Yojk Larese, Steve Previs and Brad Daugherty, Williams said.:1 f Coaches of the teams will be former Philadelphia 76crs head coach Billy Cunningham, along with George Karl, Doug Moe and Donnie Walsh. f More than 100 former UNC; players have indicated that they' will" be in Chapel Hill for the weekend, said Rick Brewer, UNC Sports Information Director.. In addition to the p re-game ded- special ceremony where 12 jerseys will either be retired or honored, Williams said. ' ' Worthy, Jordan, Ford and Rosenbluth will have their jerseys retired by virtue of being players of the year. !' Players whose jerseys will be honored are Jack Cobb, Cart Car michael, George Glamack, Cun ningham, Larry Miller, Charles Scott, O'Koren and Perkins. J M ore than 2 1 ,000 tickets were sold for the game at a cost of $5 each, with proceeds going to the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill and the North Carolina Athletes Against Crime Commission, Willi ams said. Later on in the evening there will be a buffet dinner for past lettermen, he said.
