The Daily Tar HeelFriday, December 4, 19875 McDoeald Monise project Hears completion By LAURA DIGIANO Staff Writer . Members and friends of the Ronald McDonald House gathered for their annual meeting at the Koury Natatorium Wednesday evening in order to recognize and thank partic ipants in the four-year project. Gennie Polk, president of the Chapel Hill house, said the program will be completed in February 1988 when the house opens its doors. WeVe been through a lot of long, hard miles," Polk said. "But it's been fun and it's exciting to finally walk into our house." The nearly completed Ronald McDonald House is located on Old Mason Farm Road beside the Finley Golf Course. The 20-bedroom house will provide temporary housing for families whose children are being treated for serious illnesses at North Carolina Memorial Hospital. Over $1 million has been raised for "the house with a heart," as the Chapel Hill house is known. Margie Haber, chairwoman of the fund raising committee, said $300,000 must be raised by February to cover building costs. An additional $300,000 is needed by October 1988 to cover operating costs, she said. It will cost between $100,000 and $120,000 per year to keep the Ronald McDonald House running, she said. Haber reported some recent dona tions, including a $10,000 donation for playground equipment. McDo nald's owners and operators in eastern North Carolina donated $2,500, she said. "We have done a good job of raising money, but we are by no means finished," Polk said. "We need to continue to fund-raise to keep this house going, so don't you even think we're through." Polk commended all the people who have donated their time and energy to the Ronald McDonald House. "These volunteers have helped make our dreams become a reality," she said. Elaine Hill, director of volunteer services at North Carolina Memorial Hospital, and Mike Haley, a McDo nald's representative, were selected by the Chapel Hill Ronald McDonald board of officers as the Chapel Hill Volunteers of the Year. Polk said Hill and Haley went far beyond their call of duty in their dedication to the house. Polk, whose own child underwent successful treatment for cancer, was praised for her work on the Chapel Hill Ronald McDonald House. "This project would not exist without Gennie," administrative assistant Marcy Hirsch said. "Every organization has a glue that holds it together," said Hill. "Gennie is that glue." Future projects to support the Ronald McDonald House include the "Thanks for Giving" campaign and a cookbook with recipes from UNC athletes due out in September 1988. Residents may sue to stop women's center relocation By SANDY DIMSDALE Staff Writer The Orange County Women's Center's plans to relocate to the Cobb Terrace neighborhood could trigger a lawsuit from neighborhood resi dents who have opposed the move for three years. Despite approval from the Chapel Hill Town Council to relocate the center from 431 W. Franklin St. to 210 Henderson St., Attorney Bob Epting said last month that he would file a suit on behalf of Cobb Terrace residents against the town and the center by Dec. 9. Epting was unavailable for com ment this week. The Women's Center has fought a three-year battle with residents who oppose relocating the center, but on Nov. 9 the town council voted 7-2 to grant the center a special-use permit allowing the relocation. Mayor James Wallace and council member Nancy Preston voted against the permit. Wallace said he voted against the permit because it violated proper procedure. He said Cobb Terrace residents may bring up a lawsuit because the council changed a city ordinance involving a detailed appli cation for a special-use permit. Preston, a resident of Cobb Ter race, said she voted against the permit because she does not believe the center will be appropriate in the Cobb Terrace-North Street neighborhood. No single-family houses exist in the neighborhood, which consists of one block. The center's board of directors decided the new location would be more accessible than the present one because it is on the bus route, said Director Carol Burnette. Also, the house would be closer to the Univer sity, enabling the center to do research in women's issues and Carving concerns, she said. The four elected to the council in November Preston, Wallace, Joe Herzenberg and Roosevelt Wilkerson all oppose relocating the women's center to Henderson Street. The new council members will be sworn into office Dec. 7. Established in 1976, the center was originally housed at 406 W.

The senior said she didn't think the incident was racially motivated. "But if we weren't black they could have called us something else, or written something else. Someone is just trying to instill fear in us." Her roommate added: "Even if it wasn't racially motivated, it shows that deep down in their hearts they (the people who carved the letters) have something against blacks." About 53 students live on the hall, and eight of those students are black, according to the resident assistant in charge of the hall. After noticing the letters, the two students called Hayden Renwick, associate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences, and several housing officials. "I'd like to maximize the serious ness of this type of thing," said Renwick, who visited the students' room Thursday night to see the letters. "This constitutes vandalism and harassment. To me, this is not a joke." Renwick notified University police, and a police officer also visited Joyner Thursday night to make a report on the incident. The officer would not comment and asked not to be identified. Anne Presnell, Cobb Joyner area director, said University housing officials would not permit any type of harassment in residence halls. "Although I can't comment on any specific incident, I can say that well do everything possible to find out who is responsible for any harass ment," Presnell said Thursday. "Well do everything we can to deal with those people quickly and severely." Severe punishment could include requiring students to perform com munity service, relocating the stu dents, placing their housing contracts on probation or terminating their contracts, she said.
