Friday. March 21. 1980 The Daily Tar Heel 3 SMS head Court decides to hear GPF vote challenges will resign By ROCHELLE RILEY Staff Writer Dr. James A. Taylor, director of the UNC Student Health Service for the past nine years, is planning to resign effective July 1, he announced Thursday. Tve been contemplating this for many months," Taylor said. "It has not been a quick decision, but an agonizing one. I had certain visions and goals to achieve. It became apparent that I have achieved the goals 1 set at this great university," he said. During his tenure as director of the Student Health Service, Taylor has accomplished much noteworthy work, Associate Vice Chancellor James Cansler said. The newly completed Student Health Service was planned and constructed under his supervision. I think it's the finest in the whole country. I think this Student Health Service, in terms of bricks and mortar and staff, is the type that reflects the great integrity of this university and I'm Taylor enormously proud of it," Taylor said. "Dr. Taylor came into the directorship at a time when the Student Health Service needed many changes. He has been responsible for making the program what it is," Cansler said. Although Taylor is resigning as SHS director, he will stay on as an SHS physician. Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Donald Boulton is in the process of selecting a search committee to choose the new SHS director. The selection committee should make a decision before July 1, when Taylor will leave his post. By LYNN CASEY Staff Writer The Student Supreme Court decided Thursday night to hold a hearing March 24 and 25 to hear complaints aimed at voiding the results of a Feb. 5 referendum. The referendum in question guarantees the Graduate and Professional Student Federation 15 percent of the student activities fees paid by the graduate and professional students. It was passed by a required two thirds margin, 2,105-956. The Supreme Court also decided Thursday on hearing procedures and it entertained motions from both the counsels for the defense and plaintiffs. The court denied a motion by the plaintiffs to have the court rule in favor of a summary judgment, which would dismiss the results of the election without a hearing. Craig Brown, counsel for the plaintiffs five UNC students asked for the summary judgment because the polls on the day of the election were open only 1 1 a.m.-4 p.m. The General Elections Laws require the polls be opened 1 1 a.m.-5 p.m. That requirement was approved by the Campus Governing Council in 1977, but Brown and the Elections Board members were not aware of it until last week. Supreme Court Justice Roy Cooper said the court ruled against the motion for a summary judgment because members believed that only by having a hearing could they decide whether or not there was an actual violation of the elections laws and the outcome of the election was materially affected by the violation. These two burdens of proof must be verified before the court could void the election results. The court upheld a motion by defense counsel Mike Barnhill to dismiss two of the plaintiffs complaints. One of these complaints argued that the establishment of three new polling places by the Campus Governing Council was unconstitutional. The court dismissed this complaint on the grounds that the CGC has the legislative right to establish polling places, thus the establishment of the three new polling places at Rosenau Hall, Kenan Laboratories and Hamilton Hall was constitutional. Supreme Court Justice Roy Cooper explained the defense only could argue against the Elections Board Chairman's interpretation of the legislative act, not its constitutionality. Election Board Chairman Scott Simpson only allowed graduate students to vote at these new polling sites. The defense charges the CGC intended for the off campus undergraduates also to vote at the additional polls. The other complaint hich w as dismissed by the court was the nonpartisan solicitation of students to vote by polltenders at the UNC law school. Brown charged the law school polltenders ere biased and known endorsers of the referendum. Cooper said the solicitation to vote was not a v iolation of the General Elections Laws. The chief justre, however, said the plaintiffs could file a complaint challenging the validity of a polltender. . r Brown said Thursday he would file a complaint challenging the validity of polltenders at the law school. 77.

The committee, appointed by Board of Trustees Chairman Ralph Strayhorn in January, heard statements from eight members of the University community on three Faculty Council resolutions which, if adopted, would alter language in Trustee Policies and Regulations Governing Academic Tenure." The resolutions provide for changes in the conduct of appeals and for changes in the language concerning a faculty member's proof of discrimination in a negative tenure decision. Under the proposed amendment, an aggrieved faculty member would have to satisfy the Faculty Hearings Committee by "clear, cogent and convincing evidence that his or her contention is true." Thomas W. Lambeth, chairman of the special tenure committee, said changes in the present tenure policies should be made to reflect the UNC Board of Governors' December decision to refer to the trustees appeals of decisions made by the hearings committee. But Lambeth said the trustees should interfere in matters reg arding tenure as little as possible. "We (the tenure committee) have a responsibility to react to the Faculty Council's recommendations," Lambeth said. "Beyond that there should be no conviction that the board has undertaken to rewrite tenure regulations. "The role of the Board of Trustees in any changes in this matter is to further a recommendation to the Board of Governors. Their role is to approve any such changes," he said. Lambeth said the trustees must make the appeals process a formal part of their activities because of the Board of Governors' decision in December. "The Board of Governors has already decided that we will hear appeals," he said, "and we're hearing one right now as a matter of fact." Lambeth referred to the appeal of Judith B. Moody, a UNC geology professor who met Thursday with the Board of Trustees - v V J -v , . Jt ? ' 'iV Francis Porter specks ct tenure hearing ...committee postponed recommendations to discuss her charges of discrimination and personal malice in the denial of her request for tenure. Reading a statement from the absent Moody to the special committee, Andrea Sedlak, an assistant professor in the psychology department, said there is a glaring lack of institutional safeguards in the tenure appeal process. "There is no provision for review based on merit outside the department," Sedlack read from Moody's statement. "Departments perpetuate the myth that only departments can evaluate personnel. At this moment, affirmative action on this campus is a cruel joke." But the trustees also heard testimony supportive of the departmental system of awarding tenure. Thomas L. Isenhour, chairman of the chemistry department, said judgments made above the departmental level may be able to prove alleged discrimination in some negative tenure decisions but would not be able to prove necessary professionalism. "Chairmen are charged with developing the very best department they can," Isenhour said. "On that basis, chairmen can't afford the luxury of discrimination." Lambeth said a second public hearing on charges in the tenure appeal process will be held before the committee reports to the full Board of Trustees on April 25. Easter trip The Carolina Union Special Projects Committee will sponsor a trip to Washington, D. C. during Easter weekend, that will give participants a chance to see a variety of sights in the metropolitan area.

Clearwater purchase recommended By NAT STOUT Special to the DTH The Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Commission voted Wednesday to recommend that the town purchase Clearwater Lake from the YMCA. The YMCA currently iSr asking $225,000 for the 28-acre site. YMCA Director John King said the price is based on current land values and the value of the recreational facilities at the lake. In a public hearing last week, some members of the commission expressed doubts about spending $225,000 for the site in light of the current economic situation. But Raymond Burby, vice chairman of the commission, said Wednesday there are several ways the town could pay for the lake. Burby said the money could be paid over a period of time with municipal bonds. He also said the town might be able to finance the purchase with a federal grant. During the week, commission member Frances Seymour read a statement from the UNC Student Government in support of the purchase of Clearwater Lake. The statement urged the town to buy the lake, which is used by many UNC students. According to the town's Comprehensive Plan, which outlines growth and planning goals, a 30-acre recreation site is needed in the southern part of town. Clearwater Lake is south of the U.S. 15-501 by-pass. Recreation Director Ron Secrist has said the lake could meet the town's needs. Numerous town residents attended the meeting Wednesday and spoke in favor of the purchase. No one voiced opposition to the proposal. But one resident did send a letter to the commission members, expressing opposition to the town's purchase. The letter opposed the purchase lor economic reasons. The commission's recommendation will be presented to the Chapel Hill Town Council April 14. The council will make the final decision on the proposed lake purchase.

Poclmo 2:1 and Acta 425 Matthew 9:36-38 reads: "WHEN HE (JESUS) SAW THE MULTITUDES, HE WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION ON THEM, BECAUSE THEY. FAINTED, AND WERE SCAT TERED ABROAD AS SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD. THEN SAID HE UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, THE HARVEST TRULY IS PLENTEOUS BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW: PRAY YE THEREFORE THE LORD OF THE HARVEST THAT HE WILL SEND FORTH LABORERS INTO HIS HARVEST." "THE HARVEST IS PLENTEOUS BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW!" When Jesus said that "the woods were full" of Levites, Priests, Scribes, Doctors, Teachers, Divines, etc. But most of these divines had become DRY VINES, and many of the doctors were DOCTORS OF DARKNESS. Read what HE told them about their condition in the 23rd of Matthew they were so outraged that they managed to get Him crucified! The 23rd chapter of Jeremiah Is somewhat like the 23rd of Matthew, where about 600 years before God had warned the spiritual leaders of their corrupt condition. Also, about 700 years before He had warned them by His servant Isaiah, chapter 56:10, 11: "HIS WATCHMEN ARE BLIND: THEY ARE ALL IG NORANT, THEY ARE ALL DUMB DOGS, THEY CANNOT BARK; SLEEPING, LYING DOWN, LOVING TO SLUMBER. YEA, THEY ARE GREEDY DOGS WHICH CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH, AND THEY ARE SHEPHERDS THAT CANNOT UNDERSTAND: THEY ALL LOOK THEIR WAY, EVERY ONE FOR HIS GAIN, FROM HIS QUARTER." Note in this passage D.D. means "dumb dogs that can not bark!" God asks us this question: "Who makes thee to differ from another, and what hast thou that thou did not receive?" If we are true Christians hating evil, apostacy, and hypocrisy, we should remember that It Is the mercy of God that has delivered us and made us to differ from the ungodly, and that his blessing has been received from God "BY HIS GRACE THROUGH FAITH." This should not make us proud; rather humble, and stir us up to work, testify, and pray that the Dry Vines might receive Life and bear much fruit; that the Doctors of Darkness might become Doctors of "The Light of The World"; Blind Watchmen might have sight restored, cease to be ignorant, dogs not dumb but capable of barking and warn ing of the "thief climbing up some other way and not entering by the Door, Christ Jesus; and quit sleeping, . lying down, loving to slumber!" True Protestantism believes In the "Priesthood of the Believer." If you consider yourself a "Priestly Believer," in view of the wickedness, evil, shame, crime, etc., on every hand, can you face the fact of these conditions without shame and sorrow when God says: "BUT IF THEY HAD STOOD IN MY COUNSEL, AND HAD CAUSED MY PEOPLE TO HEAR MY WORDS, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE TURNED THEM FROM THEIR EVIL WAY, AND FROM THE EVIL OF THEIR DOINGS!"
