V6 Serving the student and the University community since IH93 Wednesday, February 9, 1977, Chapel Hill, North Carolina Volume No. 84, Issue No. 93 Please call us: 933-0245 esi I I III XI! I IS I I i f 1 II II Yanks to in vade the Hili nee i boo by Kevin Barris Staff Writer The New York Yankees baseball team is coming to Chapel Hill April 2 for an exhibition game with UNC it was announced Tuesday. The game will be played in Cary Boshamer Stadium on the UNC campus. The Yankees will fly from their spring training camp in Ft. Lauderdale to Chapel Hill on Saturday, April 2 for the 2:30 p.m. game, and will return to Ft. Lauderdale after the game. UNC Head Coach Walter Rabb said half of the approximately 2,200 tickets for the game will go to students, with the remainder sold to the general public. Public sale of tickets begins March 1 and student tickets, which will be free, will be distributed March 15. Rabb said the game was scheduled at the suggestion of New York Yankee Owner George Steinbrenner. "Greg Poole, an alumnus of North Carolina, is a good friend of Mr. Steinbrenner, Rabb said. "Poole brought Steinbrenner out to see our facilities, and Steinbrenner suggested that perhaps the Yankees would be interested in coming up here to play UNC. Rabb then contacted Steinbrenner and said the Tar Heels would be happy to play the American League pennant winners. Negotiations on a date then began with the Yankees and UNC Athletic Director Bill Cobey. The Yankees suggested one of two possible dates, and the far Heels changed their schedule to set the game for April 2. "This is the first time, as far as I know, that a professional team has played a college team in this state in 20 or 25 years. , Rabb said. "We of course consider it a tremendous opportunity to interest people in this area in the game of baseball. "Evidently, Mr. Steinbrenner is very interested in the college game." Rabb added. "It will certainly be expensive for them to fly here and back on the same day. We hope the students will be interested and that they'll make the Yankees welcome." Rabb said the Yankees playing this game would be a good public-relations event for them, and that it was an example of where "pro teams might want to put something back into the college game, But I'll tell you, if we didn't have this facility (Boshamer Stadium), they wouldn't even think of coming up here." Money from ticket sales will be used to help pay for the Yankees' transportation to and from the airport, and also for the umpires at the game. ERA secures tentative nod from N.C.House by Charlene Havnaer Staff Writer RALEIGH After three hours of debate Tuesday, the N.C. House of Representatives tentatively approved the Equal Rights Amendment by a vote of 64-52. The final vote will be taken today. If passed by the House, the amendment will go to the Senate. A favorable vote there would make North Carolina the 35th state to ratify the amendment. Thirty-eight states must ratify ERA by March 1979 for it to become law. Two attempts to kill the measure were turned down by the louse. Rep. Edith L. LUtz, D-CIeveland, "proposed that the bill be amended to require a statewide referendum next November to advise legislators how to vote. This motion was voted down 63-53. Another motion made by Rep. John Ed Davenport, D-Nash, to kill both ERA and the amendment proposed by Lutz, was defeated 74-43. Arguments, both for and against focused on the effects passage of the amendment would have on the military, the power of state government and the family unit. Rep. Allen Adams, D-Wake, addressed the opposing argument that passage of the amendment would threaten national security by forcing women to participate in war. He said that the constitutional powers of Congress during war allow it to pass laws insuring successful combat. If securing successful combat means keeping women out of combat. Congress would do this, he said. Rep. A. Hartwell Campbell, D-Wilson, argued that Section 2 of the amendment, which gives Congress the "power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article, would reduce the powers of . state government regarding laws governing discrimination. "No one can say with absolute finality the effects, this amendment will have," he said. "X v Stewart carries tenure appeal before AAUP 'A V mmm 1 fill V f. by Tony Gunn Staff Writer Assistant professor of geology David Stewart has requested that the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) review his case and UNC regulations and practices concerning academic freedom. In a letter to Jordan Kurland, AAUP acting secretary general. Stewart charged that the University is in full violation of six of the 12 provisions for the AAUP State College Bill of Rights for Untenured Professors. Those rights include: Equality of academic freedom for both tenured and untenured faculty Written reasons fotU-rany unfavorable decision on tenure or promotion of untenured faculty. Faculty committee review if an untenured faculty member alleges that an unfavorable tenure decision was based on inadequate consideration or because of violations of academic freedom. Written and procedural requirements for untenured faculty in attaining promotion and tenure. Giving written terms and committee, pay. Suspension must be with appointment to an member before he conditions of the untenured facultv joins the faculty. Credit for at least three years of prior service elsewhere by untenured faculty toward qualifying for tenure at their new institution. Three other rights. Stewart wrote, are only partially honored at UNC: No suspension from classes without approval of an elected faculty Adequate consideration for attaining promotion and tenure and right to appeal any unfavorable decision or recommendation. Full due process, with the administration bearing the burden of proof, for all untenured faculty faced with termination prior to the expiration of an appointment. Stewart was denied tenure last November by the full professors in the geology department. Reasons given for the denial were unfavorable comments by colleagues, only fair scientific achievement and a poor potential for future contributions in his field. Stewart lost his appeal before the Faculty Hearings Committee 1 1 days David Stewart All of '77 tourney on TV regardless of outcome Bill for televising ACC, Big 4 to go to House by Merton Vance Staff Writer A bill introduced in the N.C. House of Representatives would require that the Big Four and ACC basketball tournaments be televised statewide. The bill, introduced by Rep. James. Morgan, D-Guilford, would require the televising of- the tournaments provided they are sold out at least 48 hours before the start of the tournament and also provided that a reasonable television contract can be arranged. "A lot of people give money to the schools but are unable to get tickets. Morgan said Tuesday. Most of the schools base ticket distribution to alumni on the amount of money given to the school. Morgan said he does not disagree with the method of ticket distribution, but he said he thinks that donors w ho do not give large amounts of money should be able to sec the games. He said his bill is also aimed at helping students. "The students follow their teams all year, and then they can't see the big one the ACC tournament. These students would like to see the games too. Morgan said. "When it comes to the Big Four and the ACC tournaments, the students have a right to. see these games." Morgan said. He said that the law would not be forcing anyone to do anything against his will. "If there's not a television station in the state that wants to cover the games. then they don't have to." Morgan said, but he said he thinks a number ol stations would be willing to carry the tournaments if given the opportunity. Critics of the bill have said that the proposal would allow the legislature to interfere in a process which is now run by the athletic departments of the schools involved in the tournaments. The bill is apparently aimed primarily at getting television coverage of the Big Four tournament, which has not previously been televised. Also in previous years, the opening night of the ACC tournament has been televised only on aJimited basis. This year the ACC tournament will be fully televised. But Morgan said he thinks that the public should have a right to see these events in which there has traditionally been a strong interest. Morgan said that some people have told him that televising the tournaments might discourage contributions to the schools involved. This is based on the assumption that some people donate large amounts of money to the schools in order to help assure that they get tickets to these baseball games. "I'm not trying to hurt the schools, and 1 don't think this would hurt contributions to the teams. But the public overwhelmingly wants to see these games." Morgan said. Morgan does not think this will happen because the difference between seeing the game in person and watching on television would still provide incentive for people who want to get tickets. ago. He is considering taking his case to court. In the seven-page letter, plus enclosures. Stewart stated that his particular case has been lost because of the restrictive regulations of the University designed to protect the institution rather than the individual. "It is these regulations that are my concern since they affect the entire educational system." Stewart wrote,: "and particularly affect all presently untenured faculty at UNC and the freedom under which they can perform their duties. "Assigning equal weight to all twelve points (with partially honored provisions receiving half -credit), UNC is seen to receive a final score of 37.5 per cent. 1 know of no course in this University, or any other, where 37.5 per cent is a passing grade." Stewart pointed out .that there are many excellent things about UNC, but he said there are some serious deficiencies. "The taxpayers who support this institution and the students who pay to' attend it,r Stewart wrote, "are not receiving the quality, the example and the ideals they are led by the University to expect." j UNC Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor said Tuesday that he has not had time to read the letter, but he added that he would not like to comment on someone's letter to someone else. - UNC system President William C; Friday said he had just received the letter and he and his staff have not had time to review it. Stewart added in his letter that the full details of the five-day hearings approximately 1,100 pages in six volumes are on permanent file in the N.C.
