Council members and residents dis Church celebrates By Emily Russ Staff Writer Chapel of the Cross, the successor to the church for which Chapel Hill was named, will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of its founding. The downtown church, which has a strong and historical affiliation with the University, will commemorate the anniversary with various festivities throughout the year. "It is a wonderful opportunity for us as a parish to celebrate a long ministry ... in the community, and that ministry has been tied to the University from the beginning," the Rev. Stephen Elkins-Williams, rector of Chapel of the Cross, said Tuesday. Chapel of the Cross is the successor of the New Hope Chapel, an Anglican chapel of ease that provided a haven of worship and rest for wayfarers in the town in the early 1 8th century. The log-cabin-style chapel was lo cated near the present location of the Carolina Inn. The town of Chapel Hill received its name from New Hope Chapel. Worshipservices.discussion groups and other celebrations, which begin in May, are planned tocommemorate the church's founding. A special worship service sched uled for May 16 will be the center piece of the celebration. Seven former chaplains, former parishioners and members of the community are in vited to attend the service, said John Duguid, a member of the church ap pointed to organize the festivities. Formerchurch members and clergy will be recognized at the homecoming service, which will be followed by a luncheon at the church, Duguid said. Evening prayer copying the origi nal style of Anglican worship will be held May 13 at the church. Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun, the Chapel Hill Town Council and UNC Chancellor Paul Hardin have been invited, Duguid said. A prayer book-dating from 1789 will be used to guide the worshipers in prayer, he said. "The evening prayer will be very similar to that of the early church." A round-table discussion on May Board approves proposal to change visitation policy By Shannon Grownover Staff Writer Housing Advisory Board members approved a draft proposal Tuesday to change the University's visitation policy. s The proposal would allow on-cam-pus residents to choose on a floor-by-floor basis from three visitation op tions. The policy now must be ap proved by the Residence Hall Asso ciation, housing officials and Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for student affairs. s If the policy is approved, it prob ably will not go into effect until spring 1993, said Nick Franzese, advisory board chairman. The proposed changes weren't ap proved at the April 7 board meeting because some members asked why a stronger roommates' rights policy wasn't included as part of an option that would allow unrestricted visita tion. Franzese said he had informed the visitation 'committee of the board members' concerns about roommates' cussed concerns about a UNC Hospi tals plan to construct a new three-story, 67,996-square-foot administration bu ilding 750 feet from the reserve, which is home to many rare species of plants and animals. Peter Todd, a Chapel Hill resident and representative of the Research Tri angle Sierra Club, said that the Univer sity could have made the building less dangerous for birds by soliciting advice from the community during the design phase but that they waited instead until after the design was finished to ask for public comment. "It's too late now," he said. "That's the way the University works." But council member Julie Andresen 15 will look into the history of the church, focusing on the church's rela tionship with the University. In addi tion to local clergy, two former minis ters will be in contact with the discus sion via telephone feed-in lines, Duguid said. The discussion will be videotaped for future reference. A second service of thanksgiving, which will focus on the 150 years of ministry to the University, will be held Oct. 1 1 and will be followed by a lun cheon. During the fall and winter months of this year, the parish "intends to assess the possible effects of long-range soci etal trends in the community and coun try on its ministry," according to a state ment released by the church. Fall and winter also will provide the congregation with the opportunity to make recommendations that they feel would give the church a good direction in the future of its ministry. A videotape of the events of the May celebration weekend also will be shown at the church on Oct. 1 1 . This historical record will be available to anyone want ing a copy, Duguid said. The parish will be dedicated to the town's future ministry May 16, 1993, at a ceremony that will culminate the cel ebrations. Developing an in-depth history of the church is the ongoing project of the church, Duguid said, and eventually the information will be released in hard back form. New Hope Church, which was ne glected for many years after the Ameri can Revolution, fell into ruin until 1 842. The Episcopal parish was reorga nized, renamed Chapel of the Cross and moved to its present location on Franklin Street in 1842by William MercerGreen, the University chaplain for the church and a University professor of logic and rhetoric, Elkins-Williams said. The original chapel, built with bricks made on Green's plantation, was under construction for six years because of insufficient funds, he said. "Suspicions are that he provided a lot of money to finish it," Elkins-Williams said. Early associations linking the church to the University include Kemp Plummer Battle, who was senior war- rights over the rights of guests. : "(The committee) said a roommate does have the right to ask another roommate's guest to leave," Franzese said. Butthecommitteemadenochanges in the original draft proposal because members thought the draft adequately made a statement in favor of room mates' rights, Franzese said. The draft states that "in all cases, a roommate's rights take precedence overtherightsofaguest.;.. Coercing a roommate into relinquishing rights to privacy, sleep, or study in order for a host to entertain a guest will not be tolerated at any time." The advisory board approved the draft proposal, but members empha sized that housing department offi cials and area directors should con tinue to review the proposal and sug gest changes to the visitation commit tee. Housing Director Wayne Kuncl said officials may consider some changes. See VISITATION, page 4 - Hope for the said it was not too late to consider the impact on the environment. "I don't think we should just throw upour hands and say, 'Gee there's noth ing we can do,' just because the model is here," she said. Steve Wallace, an Odum Village resi dent who campaigned actively against the University 's attempts to build South Loop Road, said Tuesday that the pro posed building repeated some of the same faults found in the South Loop proposal. "This is another example of short sighted planning by the University," he said. "It is really sad that coming up on the 200th anniversary of the campus,' the University administrators are plan 150th anniversary First woman priest loses tenure By Emily Russ ? Staff Writer A reverend who made history at Chapel of the Cross will not be cel ebrating the church's 150th anniver sary with her parishioners. The Rev. Anna Louise Reynolds Pagano, who made history when she s became the first ordained female Epis : copalpriestinNorthCarolina,recently was informed that her tenure at the church would be terminated May 31. Pagano said Tuesday she was sur prised and hurt when church rector Stephen Elkins-Williams informed her that her eight-year term as associate :: forparish ministry would end this sum mer. "I was grief stricken at the loss of the ministry," she said. "My ministry has been extremely fulfilling for me here." ! Elkins-Williams, who has the au- den of the church as well as president of the University during the 19th century, Elkins-Williams said. The church has always stressed its dedication to campus ministry, and in 1919 a rector was asked to leave the church because the vestry did not feel he was paying attention to his duty to the University students, Elkins-Williams said. The church established an associate position in 1931 that focused solely on ministry to the students. Many recent chancellors are parish ioners at Chapel of the Cross, including Ferebee Taylor and Carlyle Sitterson. The current Gothic-style church was built in 1925 and presently holds the growing congregation. Elkins-Williams stated in the press release that the history of the church was important, but added that the church was looking forward to the future. "It's good to look back into the past and see how far we have come," Elkins Williams stated. "But our strength is in the future. We want to make certain that we remain a viable, stable focus for this entire com munity for the years to come." U. of Indiana man chosen to head Union By Megan Brown Staff Writer Donald Luse will be the first new face at the head of the Student Union in more than 30 years when he becomes director July 1. Luse will succeed Archie Copeland, who is retiring at the end of May after serving the Union in various capacities since 1961. A long-time acquaintance of Honor Court rape policy Editor's note: The following is the first in a three-part series investigating how major universities across the coun try try accused rapists. By Rebecah Moore Assistant State and National Editor The violator can be a shadowy fig ure, a stranger. It can also be a date, an acquaintance or a friend. But regardless of who the rapist is, for UNC student-victims, pressing criminal or Honor Court charges often can be as painful an experience as the rape itself. Statistics show that one out of every best and prepare ning just as far ahead as next year." Mary Beck, director of planning and program development for UNC Hospi tals, said the University was still trying to make the design safer for birds by studying articles on the subject and con sulting experts at the N.C. Botanical Gardens. "We are making a concerted effort to reduce the impact on the bird popula tion," she said. "We can't guarantee that birds won't fly into the building. We can't guarantee anything because birds don't talk to us very well." Todd said the building would upset the rural character of the biological re serve and disturb research on the land. "I'm concerned about the effect that thority to make staff changes, stated i in a letter addressed to his congrega i tion that Pagano did not sufficiently minister to the needs of the church's : youth. "Since the budget will not allow the hiring of an additional parish clergy person in the foreseeable future, my judgment is that the parish needs to have someone in the Associate for Parish Ministry position for whom Youth Ministry can be a more princi pal focus," Elkins-Williams wrote in the letter. Elkins-Williams called the move an "agonizing decision" that left him sad but "not without hope." The time is right for a new person to bring his or her talents and energies to the posi tion, he stated in the letter. "Asking her to finish is in no way a reflection of the quality of her minis See PAGANO, page 5 The architecture Copeland's through the Association of College Unions-International, Luse will vacate his position as associate director of the Indiana Memorial Union at the University of Indiana in Bloomington. Copeland said Luse's 17 years of programming experience at the Indiana student union had given him the neces sary experience and qualified him for the job. "Mr. Luse has been involved with a very complex facility a much larger four UNC females will be sexually as saulted while in college. But only one of every 10 rape victims reports the crime, said Lt. Marcus Perry of the University Police.

Rape victims can choose to pros ecute in criminal court and, under a new lilt ml ill.- for the worst. Anonymous hospital plans the building is going to have in terms of light and noise pollution," Todd said. Beck said that the building probably would not be visible from the reserve and that the University would use light ing designed to minimize the impact on I the biological reserve. "The facility is designed to blend with the area around it," she said. Council member and University stu dent Mark Chilton said the council must make sure that the building cannot be seen before approving the plan. "I think it would be very unfortunate to permit this building if it is visible from the biological reserve if we thought all along that it wouldn't be," Chilton said. I The 70-year-old Chapel of the Cross i "ft ; V of the main chapel reminds visitors of the church's rich history facility than we have," he said. "I think he's a dedicated professional to the whole union philosophy." Donald Boulton, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the University was fortunate to get Luse for the position. "He is a highly respected union pro fessional as evidenced by the recom mendations received from his colleagues around the country and the many lead ership positions he has held in the Asso ciation of College Unions-Interna questioned system, to bring their assailants up on UNC Honor Court charges. In the past, rape was not a separate offense under the Code of Student Con duct and was included with general physical injury cases. But since 1989, rape has been a distinct, prosecutable violation under the Student Code, said Jeff Cannon, UNC assistant dean of students and judicial programs officer. The code now states that "knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse with or inflicting other sexual invasion upon any person without that person's con See COURT, page 2 Wallace said the best spot for future campus development would be at the site of the present Horace Williams Airport. "I hope the town council has the gumption to refuse their request, turn them towards the north and hand them a shovel," he said. Ben Tuchi, University vice chancel lor for business and finance, said build ing facilities on the airport site would cost $70 million and could take as long as eight years to complete. Before con struction could begin, the airport would have to be relocated, he said.

Copeland and Luse have both served on and served as chairmen of the Com mission on Educational Programs and Services for the association.
