William Yarbrough
DTHTony Deifell
Wild look, quiet man
By SUSAN WOOD
Staff Writer
Editor's Note: This is the first of
a weekly series of columns about
outstanding students on campus.
Once again, the old saying,
"Clothes don't make the man,"
proves true.
William Yarbrough, a junior
RTVMP major from Clemmons,
N.C., catches a few eyes as he strolls
to class each day. Maybe it's the
psychedelic bandana, the silver rings
on each finger or even the knee-high
cowhide boots. Whatever it is, he is
not about to go by unnoticed.
Yarbrough began dressing crea
tively about four years ago. I like
bright colors, and I have always been
into hats and jewelry," he said.
"Occasionally, I would show up at
high school wearing a leather collar,
and people really didn't have that
much to say about it." His parents,
on the other hand, simply had to deal
with it.
Yarbrough explained that he
began wearing bandanas because,
"They are less constricting than
neckties. I believe they have a
colonial look about them," he said.
One of Yarbrough's most interest
ing pieces of jewelry is the silver ankh
he wears around his neck. It is the
Egyptian sign for eternal life. It was
sent to Yarbrough from an Egyptian
friend.
But there is more to William
Yarbrough than clothes and jewelry.
His quiet and serious manner is
safely hidden behind his outrageous
wardrobe.
Yarbrough is actively involved
with the campus Wesley Founda
tion. Although the foundation is
supported by the Methodist Church,
it accepts students of all denomina
tions. "The people at Wesley are
relaxed, open and tolerant. I felt
accepted there, but not condes
cended to," he said.
Yarbrough remembers when he
wasn't accepted so freely by Chris
tian groups on campus. "I was told
that I was possessed by a demon.
I realized he (the man I was talking
to) was concerned for me, and it
made him feel good about himself
to pray for me. I just sat there and
let him pray."
Besides his religious affiliations,
Yarbrough is involved in the campus
anti-apartheid movement and the
Carolina Commission on Cental
America. He said he became active
in these groups because, "I could
never just go along with the way
things were."
Yarbrough believes a lot of people
on campus are afraid to get involved
because they feel they don't know
enough about the issues to make a
stand. "To sit back and try to make
a decision won't help get anything
accomplished. Sometimes you have
to just make a decision and go with
it."

Residents question need for new town library
By MICHELLE ERRD
Staff Writer
Chapel Hill Town Council passed
a resolution Monday night to place
five bond issues on the Nov. 4 ballot.
If approved, the general obligation
bonds will raise $11.8 million for
street improvements, office space,
fire protection, parks and recreation,
and the public library.
The proposed $4 million library
bond evoked the most discussion at
the public hearing. Residents Wilson
McKenrow and James R. White
spoke out.
"What caught my attention was
$4 million," White said. "The real
question is, how much of a library
do we need in Chapel Hill."
White said the amount of the bond
was substantial, considering how
many library facilities there are in
town.
He said he does not think the
library is overcrowded, as do many
proponents of the bond issue.
"When I go into the library, there
are always open carrels and table
space," he said.
Prop6nents of the issue included
representatives from the Chapel Hill
Chamber of Commerce, the League
of Women Voters, the Friends of the
Chapel Hill Library and the library's
board of trustees.
The library circulates more books
than any other public library in
North Carolina, said Jane Joyner,
president . of the Friends of the
Chapel Hill Library.
"We feel it is really time for the
community to face up to the fact we
need a new library," she said.
The library was built in 1967.
Among the needs specified are
increased shelving space and parking
facilities.
Later in the meeting, the bond
issue concerning town office space
also sparked citizen comments.
According to town administra
tors, their staff does not have enough
space to perform their duties.
It seems that the problem of
sufficient space for town meetings
could be solved by using auditoriums
in public schools, resident Joan
Shapiro said.
But council members Nancy Pres
ton and R. D. Smith responded by
detailing the overcrowded condi
tions under which town staff
members now work.
"We need to allow for expansion
to suit the personnel we have,"
Preston said.
Town staff have tried going into
schools, but "it's very difficult for
administration to move facilities we
have to have," she said.
Task force to evaluate campus lighting, security
By JUSTIN McGUIRE
Staff Writer
In response to complaints about
poor lighting on campus, Student
Government is setting up a task force
to find ways to improve lighting and
increase night-time campus security,
Student Body President Bryan
Hassel said Thursday.
"The task force will basically
examine what other schools have
done, and ways to enhance the rape
escort service here at the University,"
he said.
The task force may try to get more
University funding to increase light
ing in dark areas, Hassel said.
Lighting in many areas of campus
is not sufficient, he said.
Lucy McClellan, head of the
student government committee on
campus security, agreed. "Lighting
is definitely not adequate," she said.
The committee is working on a
report to evaluate campus safety
measures and offer solutions to the
safety problems, she said.
Although the campus is difficult
to fully protect, it does have enough
lighting, according to Sgt. Ned
Comar of the University Police. He
said UNC has looked at campus
security and taken steps to improve
the situation.
"Last fall, after the Sharon Ste
wart incident, a group made up of
representatives from University
police, the housing department, the
student affairs division and the
grounds department walked the
campus at night to see what the
problems were," Comar said.
"They found that most of the
problem was where existing lights
had burned out," he said. The group
also recommended a few areas where
lights should be added or raised, he
said.
"All these problems were cor
rected, and I feel that, at this time,
lighting on campus is adequate,"
Comar said.
Comar said there is less light than
he would like in Coker Arboretum
and Kenan Stadium because a clause
in their deeds forbids their having
more lights.
"I won't say that there is no
danger, but I don't think there is a
great, unusual danger," Comar said.
He said the University Police would
welcome suggestions from students
about unsafe areas and would try to
correct the problems.
R
oom assignments completed earlier than usual
By CHARLOTTE CANNON
Staff Writer
Despite limited on-campus room
vacancies, University Housing has
assigned permanent rooms to all
temporarily housed students almost
two months faster than last year.
Collin Rustin, associate housing
director, credited the speedy place
ments to improved student commun
ications. During the summer, the
housing office sent several reminders
to students telling them to cancel
their application if they weren't
planning to return to UNC. Rustin
said that due to the quick responses
of cancelling students and the com
pletion of Carmicheal Residence
Hall, rooms were available to stu
dents on the waiting list much sooner
than last fall.
About 296 students were placed
in temporary housing last August,
and by November, all students were
given permanent rooms.
University Housing is also trying
to improve dormitory rooms' fur
nishings. Rustin said the housing
department is making sure that every
room is equipped with a bed, dresser,
closet, desk and chair for each person
in the room.
Rustin said he expected to see
more residence hall improvements in
the next four to five years. After the
renovations of Lewis and Everett,
University Housing plans to remodel
Manly and Grimes residence halls,
and then possibly work on Old East
and Old West, he said.
