About 65 percent of students on the
waiting list for parking permits have
not picked up their permits, said John
DeVitto, director of UNC Transporta
tion and Parking Services.
Most of the students on the waiting
list for spaces in A, I, K, L, and M lots
are not picking their permits up, and
there are spaces immediately available
in PR and F lots, he said.

; The number of University students
riding buses has increased by 9 percent
in less than two months, University
parking director John Devitto said
Monday.
; "Previously, the ridership increase
norm was around 2 to 3 percent (during
this time period)," Devitto said. How
ever, several recent factors have led to
this year's increase, he said.

Public health school ends 50th year
By CHRIS HELMS
Staff Writer
The School of Public Health will
begin a yearlong celebration of its 50th
anniversary Thursday with a seminar
by national public health expert War
ren Winkelstein, a UNC alumnus.
Winkelstein, who earned his
bachelor's degree from UNC in 1943,
is a national figure in the fight against
AIDS. He was instrumental in the re
duction of new AIDS cases among
homosexual men in San Francisco and
is a former dean of the University of
California at Berkeley School of Public
Health.
The seminar, "Observations on
Public Health," will be held in Rosenau
Hall auditorium at 3 p.m. and is open to
the public.
The seminar marks the beginning of
a slate of activities to include a national
symposium on the future of the envi
ronment and public health, an alumni
conference and the dedication of a new
$16.3 million Public Health and Envi
ronmental Sciences Center.

The list of students who have re
ceived permits is posted each Friday
and students have until the next Thurs
day at 4 p.m. to check the list and pick
up their permits, DeVitto said. When
students do not pick up their permits by
Thursday, they are deleted from the
waiting list and another list of students
is posted.

accommodating," Devitto said.
According to John Gardner, trans
portation planner, a major change was
made on the P route. In the past the P
route was mostly aimed at commuter
students. Thus, students who live on
campus did not really have a need for
the route.
'To make the P route more conven
ient for resident students, we realigned
the route to come where the dorms are.
We added stops at Airport Road,
Hillsborough Road, Stadium Drive,
Ridge Road, and down to the Dean E.
In a press release explaining the
celebrations, Michel Ibrahim, dean of
the School of Public Health, said:
"Throughout the years, the school has
maintained its top national standing
among schools of public health and
expanded its leadership in the field. We
are excited that the activities planned
during the next few months will recog
nize the school's accomplishments and
highlight the many services the school
provides to the people of North Caro
lina and the nation."
The school, the first public school of
public health in the nation, is one of the
top four schools in the country, said
Harriet Barr, assistant dean of the
school. Only the University of Michi
gan, Johns Hopkins University and
Harvard University had schools of
public health ranking higher, she said.
The school brought in $16 million in
research projects last year, according to
a school report.

be held Jan. 21-24, will focus on

Red Cross continues Hugo relief drive
By JULIE CAMPBELL
Staff Writer
To help victims of Hurricane Hugo,
The Orange County chapter of the
American Red Cross is continuing its
campaign for public donations.
While many community organiza
tions are collecting food, clothing and
building supplies to send to the vic
tims, the American Red Cross deals
directly with the people needing help.
Robert Ziegler the executive di
rector of the Orange County chapter,
said that dealing directly with the
victims has many advantages.,
"After assessing their individual
needs, we give them a purchase
voucher so they can help with their
own healing process,"1 he said. Each
American Red Cross chapter was
assigned a goal of $8,838 to help pay
for the disaster operation.
"If each Red Cross chapter pays its
ABOUT f
Not everyone is cut out to change the world. After all, it takes education, skills
and a spare two years.
Also a willingness to work. Hard.
This year 3,750 Americans will join the Peace Corps to do just that. They'll do
things like build roads, plant forests and crops, teach English, develop small businesses,
train community health workers, or even coach basketball. However, what they'll be
doing isn't half as important as the fact that they'll be changing a little piece of the
world ... for the better.
And when they return, these 3,750 Americans will find that experience doing
hard work will have another benefit. It's exactly what their next employers are
looking for.
So, give the Peace Corps your next two years. And while you're out changing
the world, you'll also be making a place in it for yourself.

Union, he said.
The problem with the new proce
dure is that many students do not know
that the waiting list is being posted, said
David Smith, student parking officer.
Students don't realize that a new list
is posted each week, so if they check
the list and don't see their name on it,
they don't check it again, he said.
"By this time of the year, most people
have already found something to do
with their cars, or they just don't bring

publicity by speaking specifically to
certain groups, Devitto said.
In addition, CHT has added new
locations and changed certain routes.
Funding for the recent changes comes
from various areas.
Part of the $25 student transporta
tion fee has gone to the increase in
circulation and extended hours, Gard
ner said. 'Transit is funded through
who rides the buses and through the
University. In the student transporta
tion fee, the idea was that the users of
the buses should pay a large cost of the
price because 80 percent to 85 percent
fair share, the money will be collected
quicker and more efficiently," he said.
Orange County has exceeded its goal
but will continue collecting money to
compensate for other chapters that are
unable to reach their goals.
The process of collecting, shipping
and distributing items is more expen
sive than buying the same things from
a local store, he said. The Red Crosshas
estimated that its entire operation for
Hurricane Hugo will cost about $42
million.

Joe Brugnolotti, chairman of blood

The new procedure will eventually
