Faculty
debates
tenure
by Bruce Henderson
Staff Writer
Termination of faculty due to financial
exigencies or program changes and joint
appointments of faculty was debated
Monday afternoon at a special meeting of
the General Faculty.
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor called the
meeting to be advised on proposed revisions
to Chapter six of the U niversity Code, which
deals with academic freedom and tenure.
This section was recently revised by the
Board of Governors of the University of
North Carolina system. The board directed
each campus within the system to make its
own version of the guidelines, following the
outline provided by the governors.
An ad hoc Tenure Study Committee,
headed.by J. Dickson Phillips, completed its
report Oct. 14.
Phillips said the 15-member committee's
proposals on discharge of tenured faculty is
designed to force the University to consider
every alternative to actual firing of faculty.
"What is being done that is new," Phillips
said of the committee proposals, "is to work
out a procedure for termination when that
must come about."
He said that when a financial cutback is
made, it is not always clear whether it must
involve faculty firings.
Under committee proposals, the
chancellor, rather than the department
heads, would trigger any action on financial
cutbacks. He would then outline options for
dealing with the problem and submit them
A News Analysis
by Dan Fesperman
Staff Writer
The UNC Board of Trustees has been
waiting on a recommendation from its
utilities committee for nearly two months
regarding the long-debated sale of two
University-owned utilities to Duke Power
and Southern Bell.
The trustees will apparently continue
waiting until at least Feb. 13, 1976, despite
the fact that the UNC Utilities Study
Commission (the Church Commission)
recommended Sept. 12 that the trustees
approve the sale contracts.
The sales, of the Chapel H ill electric utility
to Duke Power for $16 million and the town
telephone utility to Southern Bell for $24
million, must be approved by the trustees,
the Governor's Council of State and the
State Utilities Commission before they are
final.
The telephone utility sale must also be
approved by the Federal Communications
Commission.
The utilities committee was expected to
make its recommendation at the Oct. 12
trustees meeting, but committee chairperson
Ralph Strayhorn said then, "We (the
committee) feel that the matter is of such
importance that we would like a little time
before we make a recommendation.
Therefore, we have no report at this time."
Board of Trustees Chairperson, Henry
Foscue, said two days later that the trustees
would probably meet in November tc,
consider the sale, even though the next,
meeting was scheduled for Dec. 12.
But Strayhorn, of Durham, said then that
his committee probably would not be ready
to report in November, and the extra
meeting was never held.
Since then, Strayhorn's committee has
met only once a low-key gathering two
weeks ago in High Point. The meeting
"amounted to kind of a social thing,"
committee member Charles Jonas Jr., of
Charlotte, said.
Strayhorn said Sunday, "I think it (the
committee's work) is coming along all right."

for consideration to a committee composed
of and representing the faculty.
Through a give-and-take procedure, the
faculty committee, the chancellor and the
involved departments would try to find
solutions to the problem, short of
termination.
The chancellor would be responsible for
final decisions on any curtailments, such as
the amount of money that must be pared
from a department's budget and "specific
criteria the department chairmen would use
in making terminations," Phillips said.
A review procedure, similar to that used to
reevaluate non-reappointments of faculty,
would be open to fired faculty and for
terminations resulting from program
changes within departments or schools. No
terminations have ever been made due to
financial problems, Phillips said.
A six-member minority report on joint
appointments, when a faculty member is
appointed to a field other than his primary
field, was issued with the majority tenure
committee report.
The study committee recommended two
options for a faculty member appointed to a
secondary appointment: he may be
appointed at the same rank he holds in the
primary field or be appointed at a lesser rank
with a prefix to his title (such as adjunct,
clinical or research associate).
Representatives of public health,
medicine, pharmacology and dentistry
argued at the meeting that the prefixed,
disparate rankings would hinder recruitment
of new faculty since other institutions do not
have prefixed secondary ranks.
Phillips said, "It all comes down to a title."
The minority faculty fear "the odium of a
second-class appointment," he said.
Chancellor Taylor said, "In my judgment,
havingstudied it (joint appointments) two
times (by tenure committees) the
appropriate way is to leave the matter, at
least for the time being."
But Jonas said Sunday, "As a committee
we still haven't sat down and taken up the
question that we will have to decide this
issue."
The committee will not meet again until
the weekend of the'next trustees meeting on
Dec. 12. "It appeared that it would be just
impossible to meet prior to then," Strayhorn
said.
It has always been hard for the committee
to find a time and place to meet so all
members could attend, he said.
Strayhorn said he "really wouldn't want to
speculate" about the chances of the
recommendation being ready in December.
Jonas said Sunday, "My guess is that it
will not."
. If the committee's recommendation is not
ready in December, the trustees will not be
able to take action on the sale until its next
meeting, scheduled for Feb. 13, 1976.
The proposed sale of the University
owned water and sewer utilities may further
delay the committee's report, Strayhorn
said.
Mayor-elect calls planning board
by Art Eisenstadt
Associate News Editor
Second of a two-part series
Some say boundaries are the most
artificial of lines. And to Mayor-elect Jimmy
Wallace, boundaries are, at the very least, a
nuisance.
"It's rather absurd," Wallace said in a
recent interview concerning his planning
views for the town of Chapel Hill.
"Within three miles of where we sit, we
have six jurisdictions," he said. "We have
three counties, two towns and the
University. Each one is a legal entity. The
University is part of the state, and the three
counties and two towns are political
subdivisions of the state, and each one has its
own prerogatives." .
While not advocating an absolute union of
the six jursidictions, Wallace said he would
like to see consolidation a "key merger" he
called it of the Chapel Hill and Carrboro
planning districts and some parts of the
Orange County planning district to form one
eight-square-mile unit in southeastern
Orange County.
Currently, the Chapel Hill planning
district extends several miles in each
direction from the city limits, surrounded by

Disunity in the Black Student Movement
and disagreement over administrative
procedures were the major reasons for BSM
Chairperson Lester Diggs' resignation, he
said Sunday.
The resignation, filed amidst an
accumulation of grievances voiced by BSM
members over the organization's operating
procedures, was expected to be acted on by
the BSM general body Monday night. The
general body must approve the resignation
for it to be final.
"The general body of the BSM seemed to
be on the brink of disunity," Diggs said,
explaining that the disunity seemed to
concern criticisms over the organization's
leadership and his in particular.
He also said there were "major differences
relative to the administrative procedure of
the organization," but would not elaborate.
However, in a phone call to the Daily Tar
Heel Monday afternoon, a source "working
close to the BSM Central Committee" said

Bids for the water and sewer sale were
accepted in April, 1974 from Duke Power
and last week from the Orange Water and
Sewer Authority.
"Depending on whether or not we report
on all of the utilities, or just piecemeal, will
decide when our report will be ready,"
Strayhorn said. "We have no information
yet on the water and sewer sale."
Rpfnre the trustees' committee can make
its report on the water and sewer utilities
sale, the Church Commission must first
recommend approval or disapproval of the
sale.
The negotiating team of the Church
Commission will meet Dec. 4, and the full
commission w ill meet Dec. 1 1 to consider the
sale.
Even though the last bid for the water and
sewer utilities was not made until last week,
Temple said Monday, "I would expect some
sort of decision to come out of those
meetings."

the time being spent by the trustees'
Orange County to the south and north,
Durham to the east and Carrboro to the
west.
Each town or county controls zoning
regulations, building permits, sanitation,
appearance requirements and ecological
concerns in its planning district.
How does this complicate things for
Chapel Hill?
For one thing, Chapel Hill High School,
located two miles off N.C. 86, north of
Horace Williams Airport, is not in the town's
planning district. Neither is the town's water
supply at University lake, just outside
Carrboro.
"Although the University currently owns
the water supply, it is not in either Chapel
Hill's or Carrboro's district but is in Orange
County's districts. So, needless to say,
Carrboro is right in the middle of things."
To implement his broader ideas for the
town in terms of zoning, ecological
protection and growth, Wallace is
advocating a merger of the Chapel Hill and.
Carrboro planning boards, plus annexation
of enough of the Orange County board to
make the joint board have jurisdiction over
the eight-mile square.
Wallace said he believes the towns of
Chapel Hill and Carrboro themselves will
ultimately merge, but he called the planning

"Diggs' statement was not the official
statement from the BSM." The source added
that the Central Committee is currently
preparing a public statement which will
explain circumstances surrounding Diggs'
resignation.
A Central Committee member later
confirmed that the statement is being
prepared.
Diggs explained that approval of his
resignation would serve to unify the
organization, while disapproval of the
resignation would serve as a vote of
confidence in his leadership.
According to the source, the Central
Committee's statement is expected to
include an account of the BSM general
body's dissatisfaction with the BSM
leadership's handling of Muhammad Ali's

Leggett crashes
by John Hopkins
Staff Writer
Joan Leggett, who was to have been the
starting center for the UNC women's
basketball team this year, may miss the
entire season after breaking a bone in her left
wrist during practice in Women's
Gymnasium Friday.
Members of the Women's Athletic
Department contend that discrimination
against the women's team is the underlying
cause of Leggett's accident, since the team
was forced to practice in cramped quarters
while the men's team practiced in larger
CarmichaeLAudrtoTium. " ' ;;-"' ' '
Legget, the tallest member of the team at
5-foot-ll, was chasing a long pass from
teammate Gay Scott when she crashed full
speed into an unpadded brick wall 58 inches
from the end line.

its practices in Carmichael Auditorium, was

committee, he said, "The matter is in the
hands of the trustees and I don't think I
should comment about it."
Despite the delay in making a
recommendation, committee members said
they believe that the committee is doing an
adequate job.
"We've done the best we can," Jonas said.
"We're doing what I think is in the best
interests of the University."
Committee member T. Henry Redding, of
Asheboro, said the committee is doing "all it
can."
The amount of time the committee has
taken is justifiable, he said. "We've got to be
really careful, because it's a real important
matter."
The sale itself has been a controversial
issue for the past four years.
The Church Commission, established in
1971, began accepting bids in 1972 from
Duke Power, Central I elephone and
Utilities Corp., Carolina Telephone and
Telegraph and Southern Bell for the electric

union "the key merger I would like to see."
"1 just feel that we ought to sit down quite
seriously here in southeastern Orange
County and decide what we want to do,"
Wallace said. "I forsee something about
seven or eight miles on the side a square
and that would be Chapel Hill with a green
belt around it. You'd know when you
entered it, and you'd know w hen you left it."
The two towns had a joint planning board
during the 1950s, Wallace said, but the board
split apart after a few years because of the
two towns' differing philosophies on
planning matters.
Wallace explained, "Chapel Hill's
planning board is increasingly interested in
phasing and slowing down the growth, and
its standards are generally higher its sidelot

sales for the speech had been spent without
first processing the money through the
Student Activities Fund Office. This was in
violation of Student Government Treasury
Law, Bullard and Strickland said.
CGC released the funds last week, citing
poor communications between BSM leaders
and Student Government finance officials as
the cause of the problem.
However, the source said, many BSM
members believe that Diggs and BSM
Special Projects Committee Chairperson
Buddy Ray (who coordinated the speech)
should have been aware of treasury laws.
Meanwhile, other top BSM members have
also stated they will reserve their comments
on the resignation until general body
opinion is gathered. CGC Rep. Greg Reid
said Monday he did not think it would be fair
to make a statement until after the
organization met Monday.
It is expected, a number of sources said,
that Diggs' resignation will be accepted.
Gloria Carney, current BSM vice
chairperson, has been mentioned as a strong
candidate to replace Diggs.

A priority schedule from the Athletic
Department provides that the wrestling
team's home games be held in Carmichael.
The schedule also states that "games have
priority over practices." Although no
exception is listed for men's basketball
practice, the wrestling meet was interrupted
for approximately three hours to allow the
men's varsity basketball team to practice.
Women's basketball coach Angela
Lumpkin had requested use of Carmichael
for Friday but was refused because of the
wrestling meet.
Objecting to what she called unfair
treatment of the women's team, Lumpkin
said, "Since we're the only other team that
practices in Carmichael, we're the ones who
get pushed around. It's unfair for them (the
men's team) to get to practice there when we
don't."
Leggett, also upset by the situation, said,
"I've seen (Brad) Hoffman and (John)
Kuester (both on last year's men's basketball
team) diving for balls on the floor. But as a
woman, I don't have the right to hustle like
In response, Chapel Hill citizens formed
the Consumers Utility Corporation, a
public, non-profit organization, to buy the
utilities.
At the following Church Commission
meeting, a motion was made to recommend
selling the telephone utility to Southern Bell
and the electric utility to the consumer
corporation. The motion was tabled when
the legality of the consumer corporation was
questioned.
The Church Commission later decided to
recommend the sale of the electric utility to
Duke Power and the telephone utility to
Southern Bell.
This action was opposed by the Chapel
Hill Board of Aldermen, Mayor Howard
Lee, the Orange County Citizens for
Alternative Power and the UNC Student
Consumer Action Union.
Despite the opposition, the Board of
Trustees approved selling the utilities to
Duke Power and Southern Bell and sent it
back to the Church Commission to begin
contract negotiations.

trailer parks and such business.
"Carrboro has gotten involved with
growth mania recently. They are eager to
expand. The theory in Carrboro the past 10
years has been to increase the tax base and all
will be well."
But Wallace does not think all is well.
"Unfortunately, we have just one too
many planning districts," he said. If they
were merged, he added, they "would apply
the same planning rules, but it (the merger)
would not have any effect on ordinances
except insofar as they relate to planning."
Wallace said he believes a joint
government between Chapel Hill and
Carrboro would be desirable, but he
conceded, "The more you talk about it, the
more people become very scared. They'll say,
'We're fine the way we are.' But actually, they
aren't fine the way they are. They're just
hopelessly overloaded, and they're going to
become more so."
While he said the hasn't yet had any
discussions with Carrboro Mayor-elect
Ruth West or other officials on the matter,
Wallace said he thinks a merger is desirable,
more so from Carrboro's point of v iew than
Chapel Hill's.

describing Leggett's injury. Lumpkin
complained that the women's team is treated
unequally.
Hogan forwarded the letter to Athletic
Director Homer Rice, along with a note
expressing her hope that the men's and
women's programs could work together
better.
Rice, when contacted Monday afternoon,
said he had not received the letter and did riots,
know about the injury to Leggett.
"We tried to work out a (priority) policy
(on using the two gyms) to everyone's
satisfaction," he said. "I've had not
complaints about it."
Men's head coach Dean Smith was out of
town Monday and unavailable for comment,
but assistant coach Bill Guthridge said he
knew of no strings pulled to get the Friday
practice time in Carmichael. "It's nothing
unusual. That's the way it's always been."

of merger," he said. "They're in a position of
not being able to borrow any money for
capital improvements. I don't know what the
exact figures are, but you are permitted by
law to issue bonds not to exceed eight per
cent of tax valuation. You can go into debt
that far.
"Well, Chapel Hill has an enormous
reserve in this respect; our tax valuation is
very huge. Carrboro's in the position of not
being able to help itself."
Should there be a merger, Chapel Hill
taxes could be used in part to upgrade
deficient streets and sewers in Carrboro.
Even without a government merger,
Wallace said, a joint police and fire
departments is possible, and he predicted
Carrboro would hav e bus sen ice within six
months of now.
"I would guess that Carrboro is in a grave
situation because the only way it can amass
significant amounts of capital is by simply
raising taxes." he said. "This would bring
about a real bad reaction in Carrboro.
"So one thing which argues well for
Chapel Hill is that if Carrboro were a part of
Chapel Hill, then Chapel Hill could do the
necessary things that need doing in
Carrboro. Now, needless to say. there's
going to be some Chapel Hillians who will
become very, very upset .
