Cameron Ave. Harrison is scheduled uimmeff By BARBARA LINN Staff Writer To provide a better on-campus environment during summer school sessions, North Campus housing and board will be offered to students enrolling in the 1988 summer sessions. Cobb, Everett and Lewis residence halls will be open for summer school students. Students will also be able to purchase a meal plan for all-you-can eat meals at Lenoir Hall between Monday breakfast and Friday lunch. A faculty committee, appointed by the provost to study the summer session, found that campus life during the summer was "pretty dull," said James Murphy, director of the summer session. V "We want to get students on campus and away from the apart ments," Murphy said, to increase participation in Student Union pro grams and intramural athletics. It will also help keep professors on campus, woffoffdl From staff and wire reports UNC Athletic Director John Swof ford said Thursday that the Univer sity has no intention of firing football coach Dick Crum. Swofford said in a prepared state ment: "While some discussions have taken place in recent weeks between coach Crum and me, as well as Chancellor (Christopher) Fordham and me concerning the best possible, circumstances for the future of our program, it has never been a conclu sion by any of us that coach Crum would not be returning next year,.

Cameron Ave. Bowers said he was happy with the outcome but still concerned because an Orange County grand jury could indict him. Bowers would not comment on Harrison's ruling. The decision was postponed to Thursday so that Peele could review ttnoesleg he said. Wayne Kuncl, director of Univer sity Housing, said the housing depart ment has always wanted to have more summer school students living in the central part of campus. "We made a commitment last year to . keep open space available for students attending summer school in 1988," Kuncl said. Approximately 350 spaces for men and women will be available in the air-conditioned Cobb Residence Hall. The east side of the dormitory will house men, and the west side will house women. Everett and Lewis, which are not air-conditioned, will each house about 90 students. Women will live in Everett and men will live in Lewis. Students can choose to purchase both room and board or just room, but first preference for Cobb Resi dence Hall will be given to those students who purchase both room and board, Kuncl said. speaks omul:, suppoirfe Cram inaccurate." Swofford also said it was the University's intention to continue the discussions about Crum's future and the football program "privately after the season, but the current public nature of the situation, I think, deserves comment now." On Tuesday night, Crum told his players that he thought Saturday's game against Dukg'jtoould be his last at UNC but that he would not resign, according to a player who asked to ; remain unidentified. The (Raleigh) News and Observer reported that Crum told the player, "It's out of my no different than the ape, except we're less civilized.

The Chapel Hill Police Department provided the statements, which were admitted to the hearing as evidence. State law defines second-degree rape as forced sexual intercourse without the consent of the victim and without the use of a weapon. Also, second-degree rape occurs if the perpetrator knows that the victim is physically or mentally incompetent policy chaeged. In the past years, Kuncl said, summer school students have been housed in South Campus residence halls. North Campus halls have not been open in past summers because they are not air-conditioned and because the summer months were needed to make renovations, he said. The University also needs the spaces in central campus halls to house short-term programs and athletic camps in the summer. "From an administrative stand point, it is easier to open one building that can hold all students," Kuncl said. ; During recent summer sessions, campus dining services have been open only for breakfast and lunch, summer school director Murphy said. "To make (full meal service) available, we need a group of people we can count on to eat their meals there," Murphy said. If enough people buy into the meal plan, thd dining hall could also be open hands:" Crum refused to comment on the report, as did Fordham's office. A former high-ranking official in the UNC Educational Foundation, the Rams Club, who asked not to be identified, told the newspaper that Crum wanted a payoff totaling more than $1 million for his nine assistant coaches before he would resign. "It's the last stumbling block in the way of a deal, but it's a very big stumbling block," the official said. Swofford, in his statement, said the honoring of a contract is "a funda Chapel Hill, North Carolina DTHBrian Whittier at the time of the rape and uses force. The plaintiff, a 20-year-old junior, testified during the hearing that she was drunk when she had ; sexual intercourse with Harrison twice and with Bowers once on Aug. 20. Harrison's attorney, Barry Win ston, would not comment on the case. Assistant district attorney Patricia DeVine said, "It was the exact right decision." She is prosecuting the case on behalf of the plaintiff and the state between meals and for a la carte service, he said. "We're hoping that some part of Lenoir will always be open for snacks between meals," he said. "Last year, only the snack bar in Craige was open after lunch." !

' ' , . r campmiwiidl free startle By MARK FOLK Staff Writer According to Student Government figures, the average Hinton James resident rides the TJ-bus to and from South Campus three, times a week and spends about $48 a year on campus transportation. In an attempt to cut down those costs, some Student Government members have presented University administrators with a $132,890 pro posal for a free campus-wide shuttle bus. The proposal, written by junior Dave Cunanan, calls for two 43 passenger buses to make free trips across campus on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. "The main reason behind this proposal is because of what we feel the University will look like in five to 10 years," said Cunanan, former chairman of the Campus Transpor tation committee. "Right now, the U Bus is doing a great job, but what's it going to do as the University continues its outward expansion?" The proposal would be funded through a slight increase in student fees, federal and state aid, alumni contributions, existing University funds and charter service. Donald Boulton, vice chancellor and dean of student affairs, said University administrators plan to meet soon with members of Student Government's Executive Branch and because it involves a criminal offense. Bowers attorney, Lee Lambert, maintained that his client was inno cent of the charges, although Bowers signed a statement admitting he had intercourse with the victim. He added that Bowers voluntarily talked to the police about the incident. "The whole incident was a tragedy from start to finish," Lambert said. "The judge maintained what we've always believed that he was Students present opinions on lottery at -'housing forum By MICHAEL JACKSON Staff Writer Options for handling supply and demand for residence hall space were discussed at a UNC Housing Advisory Board forum in Carmichael Residence Hall Thurs day night. The forum was held to get student opinions on whether the present lottery process should remain the same, be changed to guarantee sophomores housing or be changed in some other way, said Collin Rustin, associate director of University Housing. Officials and students spent much of the forum discussing the pros and cons of guaranteed student housing. If a policy of guaranteed student housing were implemented, incoming freshmen would be guaranteed a room on campus for all four years at UNC. Under the present system, a lottery or drawing is used to determine if students may live in residence halls during the next academic year. The lottery system has been used for the last nine years. "Guaranteed student housing means supply can meet demand if it's not hall-specific," Rustin said. Rustin said ailoting room space is difficult because the demand for News Sports Arts 962-0245 Business Advertising 962-1163 seek Chapel Hill Transit officials to discuss the proposal. "I think that they've got some good ideas in this proposal," Boulton said. "Now, we just need to sit down and see what kind of approach we should take." Although the proposal makes several recommendations, Cunanan said he still wants input from students and administrators on the idea. "We're basically just looking at the options right now," he said. "In fact, we want to encourage students to come by and talk to us about this." The present service provided by Chapel Hill Transit is adequate at times, Cunanan said, but students should be getting better service for their money. The proposal would provide bus service at a cheaper rate, he said. "We want to get people across campus in the cheapest and safest way that we can," he said. "I would compare our buses as Hondas to their Cadillacs." The buses in the proposal have some of the same features as Chapel Hill Transit buses, but they cost a lot less, he said. "The only, big difference between the two is that our buses are blue and white and look like school buses." Costs in the proposal include $77,340 for the two buses, $1,000 for See SHUTTLE page 5 off rape' 1 innocent."

"People have to be willing to live in the South Campus highrises for the system to work," he said. Rustin said the prospect of guaranteed student housing is feasible because of the cap that has been placed on UNC's admissions and the opening of Carmichael Residence Hall. The hall created 300 more spaces on campus. Last year's suggestion of gua ranteed sophomore housing was not well received by students because of the lack of student input in forming the proposal, Rustin said. But he said the idea of guaran teed sophomore housing "has not been tossed away." Guaranteed sophomore hous ing would keep the dorms fully occupied, Rustin said. Presently, the residence hall supply exceeds demand and there are about 280 unoccupied spaces on campus, he said. Students voiced concern about residence halls becoming occupied with too many freshmen and sophomores and not enough jun iors and seniors. The students said they felt this would cause a loss of tradition and the "rites of passage" for incoming freshmen. Snyder e
