Monitors
Ticket-writing holds
danger for some
parldng attendants
By TINA RUDOLPH
DTH Starf Writer
Bright orange makes an easy target.
For UNC parking monitors, being an easy target can be
dangerous.
"I've been intentionally hit with a car before by a law pro
fessor," said Phylis Elliott, a former ticket monitor and
now one of the two traffic supervisors. "This was on the
night of a basketball game when I was blocking the law
school parking lot for the exclusive use of the press. I told the
professor his permit was invalid, because after certain hours
we have the right to reserve different parking areas, and,
with that, he hit me with his car and pulled into a space
anyway."
While all the monitored sites do not prove to be as
troublesome as the law school parking lot, there are, still a
few locations considered to be problem areas.
"The worst location is the Ehringhaus parking lot,"
Elliott said. "It is not unusual for the football players to
come our of the dorm and verbally harass the monitors.
"Another bad are is on Stadium in front of Teague dor
mitory," she said. "I can remember one day when another
monitor and I were ticketing in front of Teague and.were ver
bally harassed by being called 'traffic bitches'".
Andrew Hagar, coordinator for parking and traffic con
trol, agrted with Elliot about the perils of the Ehringhaus lot.
"I can remember when I was a student here four years ago
when the police had to come to the rescue of the monitors
and escort them out of the lot," Hagar said. "The monitors
were often found pinned behind cars to avoid the rain of
tomatoes and shoes that were being thrown at them."
Monitors get other types of pressure a part from verbal
harrassment.
"I know monitors who have been bribed in order to let
fans park closer to the football stadium," said Cindy Ad
cock, a former ticket monitor. "One attendant was given
money in order to save a parking space for an alumnus."
Misunderstandings about how parking fines are used may
be responsible for some of the harrassment.
"The majority of the revenue comes from the sale of park
ing permits," Hagar said. "What most people don't realize is
that every bit of revenue goes back Into traffic operations
such as subsidizing the bus system and the university police,
improving gounds, etc. In other words, we're a non-profit
organization."

...harassment has become part of job
There are some benefits that come with being a ticket
monitor. One is the flexible working hours. The traffic office
requires that each employee must work five to 15 hours a
week, preferably in two- or three- hour shifts per day. If a
student feels he needs to work fewer hours than he had
originally signed up for, because of a test or an unexpected
assignment, he can either find a substitute or, if he is unable
to find a replacement, he jean get off work.
"All of the students have been very reliable," Hagar said.
"In fact, within the last year, only one student has been fired
for altering a time sheet. I realize the students are here to go
to school, although if they make a commitment, I encourage
them to be responsible."- ' " " :
The job can provide the student with a sense of authority.

UNC student Jeffrey Koeze filed a complaint with the Stu
dent Supreme Court Thursday against two members of the
Student Audit Board, claiming that the board excluded him
from meetings he was legally entitled to attend.
Koeze, a senior English major from Grand Rapids, Mich.,
said he filed the complaint against board members Sanford
Cockrell and Carol Ann Fri because he felt the action would
clarify the relationship between the Campus Governing Coun
cil and the Student Audit Board that is "confusing on the part
of CGC members and apparently the student body and the
Audit Board."
Koeze said the board refused to recognize him as a member
after he was appointed by Student Body President Scott Nor
berg and that the board elected a speaker in accordance with
by-laws that have not been approved by CGC.
Norberg refused to comment on the complaint because he
said he might be called by the court to testify in the case.
Audit Board member Fri, one of the two defendants in the
case said she saw no point in the court case. "Taking this to the
Supreme Court isn't going to solve anything because the real
problem is in the future and not in the past."
surd.
Fri said the real problem was that no one knew who con
trolled the Audit Board.She said the Audit Board should be ac
countable to the CGC but had received instructions from"
Norberg. "We want to be accountable to somebody," she
said. "And CGC is the most representative student body or
ganization on campus."
Last fall the Audit Board appointed Ted Kyle as a member
and its chairman. But Koeze was appointed by Norberg as a
member to fill the third seat on the three-seat board according
to old by-laws, Fri said. "That's where the split came" that
resulted in the case, she said.
Fri said Koeze was denied entry to only one Audit Board
meeting because "nothing was settled yet." The board, Koeze,
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Donald Boulton and Vice
Chancellor for Business and Finance John Temple met before
the complaint was filed to try to resolve some of the confusion.
"We have nothing against Jeff Koeze," Fri said.
According to CGC by-laws, the council cannot create by-laws
for an organization it does not fund. The Audit Board mem
bers acted in accordance to by-laws the board created as an
"act of desperation," Fri said. She said the board was under
pressure to act on a pension plan proposed last year for the
Student Activities Funds Office, one organization the Audit
Board oversees.
Anti-busing bill pusses in Senate
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON The Senate on
Thursday approved, 58-38, the toughest
anti-busing legislation ever cleared by
either house of Congress.
The legislation, an amendment to a
spending authorization bill for the Justice
Department, would prohibit federal
judges from ordering busing for students
who live more than five miles or 15
minutes from their schools.
Another provision would bar Justice
Department lawyers from seeking busing
orders in federal courts.
' Long-distance busing is a leech on the
educational system of this country,". said
Sen. Bennett Johnston, D-La., a princi
pal supporter of the proposal.
But opponents led by Sen. Lowell

Attempting to understand what they
voted on last week, the Campus Govern
ing Council listened Wednesday to Audit
Board members explain their objections
to the proposed Audit Board revisions.
On Jan. 20, the CGC passed a bill pro
posed by Student Body President Scott
Norberg to allow the student body to vote
on whether to revise the function of the
Student Audit Board.
Speaker ElChino Martin said that there
were some misconceptions that needed
clearing up. The idea that anyone on the
CGC would be able to go into the Student
Activities Fund Office and look through
any organization's book was not true,
Martin said.
Another misconception Martin said
that might be confusing was the idea that
if the amendment was passed then the by
laws also pass. That is not the case, he
said. It is a two-step process. After the
amendment passes, the CGC must pass
the by-laws.
Defending the amendment and the. by
laws Ellen Goldberg, District 10, said the
by-laws were needed to prevent having an
autonomous board.
"The problem came up when the Audit
Board drew up their own by-laws," she
said. "That made them an autonomous
board having only to answer to
themselves. We have a responsibility to
keep a check on this organization."
Most of the council's discussion
centered on the questions of who had the
nominating power of the board members.
The proposed by-laws illustrate the
selection of board members as a three
step process. The Student Audit Board is
to submit three nominations per vacant
position to the student body president for
appointment, then the president will sub
mit one to the CGC for final confirma-;
tion.
Members of the Audit Board have pro
tested this selection process, complaining
that it could make the board political and
vulnerable to the influence of the student
body president.
"If you allow the student body presi
dent to have appointment power, he in
essence is appointing people that would
audit his executive position," Audit
Board member Sandy Cockrell said.
"There is no way the Audit Board could
come to an independent decision."

Presidential candidates Mark Canady, Summey Orr,
Tim Smith and Mike Vandenbergh, Daily Tar Heel edi
tor candidates John Drescher and Jonathan Rich, and
Residence Hall Association presidential candidate Scott
Templeton addressed several election forums Thursday.
At a forum Wednesday night sponsored by the
Association for Women Students, the Coalition for
Social Justice, the Americans for Common Sense and
the Carolina Gay Association, AWS and ACS both en
dorsed Canady for student body president and Rich for
editor.
AWS endorsed Canady for president because he seem
ed to be an active rather than passive person, Chair
person Rebecca Tillet said. Also, "Canady believed or
ganizations should be able to voice concern on issues
that affect their constituents," she said.
ACS endorsed Canady because he seemed a more
dynamic personality than other candidates, Chairperson
Ted Johnson said. "He won't hesitate to take stands and
get involved."
Although neither of the editorial candidates were what
the AWS was looking for, Tillet said, the group en
dorsed Rich because he seemed more concerned with
four issues the group emphasized: greater recognition to
achievements of women, encouragement of women to
seek leadership positions within the paper, elimination
of sexists ads in the DTH and coverage of the time, and
location of rapes on campus.
ACS endorsed Rich because he sard he would open up
the editorial page of thchewspaper to more debate and
Cockrell cited the example of when
Norberg attempted to borrow money
from the president's discretionary fund
last fall to take the LSAT as one occasion
where the board's independence from the
executive branch was needed.
"Clearly he should have not done it,"
Cockrell said. "The treasury laws said he
could not do it nd because the account
was held with SAFOit was our respon
sibility to rule on this."
Cockrell said the Audit Board sup
ported the amendment but said it wanted
to see parts of the proposed by-laws
changed.
He said the board wanted to be a body
that could act and make 'decisions in
dependently and objectively and that it

Rich would have an editorial voice more in tune with
liberal, progressive groups on campus.
The candidates also spoke at forums sponsored by the
Carolina Union and the Baptist Student Union.
The presidential candidates discussed their views on
the Audit Board referendum. Students will have a
chance to vote Feb; 9 on whether they want the Campus
Governing Council to rewrite Audit Board bylaws.
"There is not enough information circulating,"
Canady said. "To ensure its autonomy, the Audit Board
should draw up its own bylaws. The whole issue's not
clearly defined; I may come out against the referendum."
Orr said he was in favor of the referendum. "It's ridi
culous to bring up the question of bylaws now," he said.
"What this does is give the CGC a chance to strengthen
the Audit Board."

Vandenbergh agreed and said rumors were
spread that he had helped write the proposal.
"That's not true," he said. "I was not even on the
council when it went through. This referendum does not
change any rules."
Smith said he supported the proposed amendment,
but wanted to see the Audit Board draw its own bylaws.
"I want to make sure they retain some independence,"
Smith said.
DTH candidates John Drescher and Rich, in response
to a prepared question, explaind what they would do if
the proposed student-fee increase, which would mean
more money for the paper, was defeated in next Tues
day's election.

Weicker, R-Conn., condemned the
amendment as an unconstitutional intru
sion into the ability of federal judges to
protect individual rights. Weicker vowed
a filibuster against the authorization bill.
Further action was not expected until
next week.
The House has not considered specific
curbs against busing, but it has approved
the proposal prohibiting Justice from
seeking busing orders.
President Ronald Reagan has said he
opposes busing for desegregation and the
Justice Department has said other
methods will be used in desegregation
cases.
Even more. stringent anti-busing legis
lation" is in" the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee. That would prohibit federal
judges from ordering busing at all. The
committee is expected to vote on that
measure next week.
Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C, said Thurs
day that busing- amendment was "the
most far-reaching legislation set in terms
of eventually doing away with forced bus
ing altogether.
"The amendment does two things,"
Helms said. "First, it prevents the U.S.
Justice Department from intervening in
school cases to require busing to schools
other than the schools closest to the
f pupils' homes. And it restrains the courts
from imposing unreasonable forced bus
ing plans on any student.
"If defines 'reasonable' as no more
than a 30-minute bus ride round-trip, or
10 miles in distance round trip.
"This will go a long way towards put
ting an end to what Sen. Sam Ervin once
: correctly described as the 'worst tyranny
ever imposed upon school children.' It
has been worth all the effort and time and
hard work that I and others have put into
it."
Union picks
'Flummer a
president
By FRANCES SILVA
DTH Staff Writer
The Union Board of Directors recently
selected Wayne Plummer, a junior inter
national studies economics major from
Stokesdale as the Carolina Union presi
dent for the 1982-83 academic year.
Chosen over five other applicants,
Plummer cited his previous experience as
one reason he sought the job of Union
president. In addition to chairing the
recreation committee, he was a member
of the special projects committee his
sophomore year.
"The people, the staff of the Union
and the type of student who works in the
Union also influenced me," he said.
"The staff is 'real helpful and interested in
the students' development instead of. just
overseeing programs."
He said he would like to see the Union
continue to reach out to different groups
and areas of campus although his role will
be one of administration.
"The Union has a responsibility to go
further," he said. Plummer cited the
scries last year on aging and the speech to
be given March 30 by Dr. Charles King,
director of the Urban Crisis Center in
Atlanta, Ga. on "Black-White Crises in
the 80s,' as examples.
Plummer will be responsible for keep
ing in touch with the committees of the
Union as well as appointing chairpersons
in the coming weeks.
"The president plays an active role. He
However, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.,
called it "a pernicious precedent."
"The courts are going to be hobbled by .
this kind of approach," he said after
voting against the measure.
Levin said if judges were restricted on
how they enforce minority rights, there
was nothing to prevent Congress from in
truding on other constitutional rights like
free speech.
Senate conservatives have been pushing
proposals to strip federal judges of au
thority to rule in busing, school prayer
and abortion cases.
Weicker conceded that busing was un
popular, but said the Senate was buckling
to unvvise l public pressure to enact uncon
stitutional legislation.
Unsucessfully appealing to the Senate,
to "show our faces and not our butts to
the world," Weicker said. "Maybe this is
good for getting votes, but it sure as hell
is' not good for the rest of the country."
He vowed to continue his fight through
a filibuster against the overall bill. But
anti-busing senators successfully closed
off debate on the issue last year, and ap
peared to have the votes to do it again.
The House has approved the Helms
proposal prohibiting the Justice Depart
ment from seeking busing orders, but has
not considered specific curbs against bus
ing plans.
Johnston said that in Baton Rouge,
La., there was a desegregation plan in ef
fect under which six-year-old children are
bused for an hour and half each morning
to school.
"That is improvident," he said. "That
is idiotic." He said while it was clear that
the Constitution "required public schools
should be desegregated, there was
nothing in the Constitution which re
quired that it be accomplished by busing.

is a resource person for the chairpeople,"
said Plummer.
Although the president is not directly
involved in the programming for the
Union, Plummer said he would like to see
the Coll ege Bowl organized by a separate
committee instead of coming under the
auspices of another.
"It is such a big program that a
separate- committee sounds good," he
said.
After tihe committee chairpersons are
screened a nd chosen in March, the staff
will hold a summer retreat to work on
group dyna mics and how to function in a
group he atided.
Plummer assumes office as the Union
celebrates it s 50th anniversary of service
to the University community. To
celebrate the birthday, events have been
