i i 4 Fordham says med school not favored in botany, zoology department merger r By LAURIE BRADSHER Soft Writer Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III told the Faculty Council Friday that he was not favoring the medical school by combining the departments of zoology and botany into the biology department. "I'm very careful that it be treated with equity and fairness," Fordham said. The purpose is to best serve the University, and the differences "should be expressible without vengeance," he said. Fordham urged the faculty to stop "lashing out at one another." " Dean of Arts and Sciences Samuel R. Williamson said the problem was having to deal with constrictive faculty and resources. "Positions are not manufactured out of air," he said. "They have to come from some place." Williamson said student enrollment had declined in botany and in zoology curricula. On the basis ot committee recommen dations, and with Fordham's approval, the merger will be effec tive July 1, he said. No degree change is forecast for students now enrolled in either program or already accepted into the graduate program this fall, he said. In other business, University Librarian James F. Govan told the council he hoped to begin moving books to the new Walter R. Davis library over Christmas break. The date of the library's opening has been changed from May, 1982 to January, 1983, he said. Govan added that he hoped to be moved in by March 1, 1983. As part of Black History Month He said the move would take about two months, and that there would be problems moving books to the new library from Wilson library, which will be renovated. "In short, we are going to be in this nomadic environment until about 1985 or '86," he said. The Committee on the Status of Women also' presented its report to the council. The proportion of women on the UNC faculty has decreased by five, said Committee Chairperson Patricia Barry. While the number of female faculty members decreased from 367 to 362, or 1.4 percent, the number of male faculty members decreased from 1520 to 1518, representing a .01 percent decrease. ' Barry said the committee was pleased with the presence of a full-time affirmative action officer and with the Univeristy's policy on sexual harassment. The committee also cosponsored a resolution to add a fourth basis for appeal by instructors who have not received tenure. In the past, the UNC Board of Trustees could hear appeals if the instructor believed the tenure was denied on the basis of race or sex, personal malice or abridgment of First Amendment rights. The fourth provision, accepted by the council after lengthy debate, adds "procedural irregularities" to the basis of appeals. But the Board of Trustees cannot reinstate an instructor on the basis of any of the four. The board only hears the appeals and makes recommendations. 5M9 Union sponsor events By PAM DUNCAN Staff Writer February has been named Black History Month a time when Americans recognize and celebrate the contributions of Afro-Americans to America and to the world. At UNC, the Black Student Movement and the Carolina Student Union are cosponsoring two events in honor of Black History Month, said Chuck Wall ington, cultural coordinator for BSM. Monday, the film of the musical Eubie! will be shown in the Carolina Union auditorium. Before the film, Mary Ting-Robins will present an overview of the film and talk about black music in general, Wallington said. On Thursday, Feb. 25, Alex Haley, ' author of the book Roots, will speak in Memorial Hallat JB p.m. The Union is sponsoring an invitational dinner before the lecture, and the BSM will hold a reception afterwards in the Morehead Faculty Lounge. Jesse Cureton, co-founder of the Black Interdenominational Student Association at UNC, said that the speakers at the Chairman slots open at Union The Carolina Union is now accepting applications for Activities Board commit tee chairpersons.

The committee will also be work ing with the State and National Affairs Committee in securing financial aid for students. ' Vandenbergh said the Food Services and Health Affairs Committee would also assume the duties previously delegated to University Services. "These two committees deserve more attention than they have received," he said. "There were too many issues in the past that were assigned to University Ser vices." Vandenbergh had not announced an appointment to the Food Services and Health Affairs position as of Sunday night. Maria Baxter, a sophomore from Chapel Hill, was named to head the Educational Policies committee, which Vandenbergh said would include evaluating the new curriculum to be an nounced this fall. Frank Hirsch, a junior from Lookout Mountain, Tenn., will direct the Town Relations Committee. "Although Frank has never worked in Student Govern ment, he has shown a great deal of in terest in town relations." The committee will be concerned with issues such as the public drinking or dinance and condominium conversion, and will serve as an official student voice in interaction with the state legislature, Vandenbergh said.

One of BISA's speakers, Earl Thorpe, a history professor at North Carolina Central University, is the National Presi dent of the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History. ASAALH was first begun in 1915 by Carter G. Woodson in Chicago, and it in itiated the celebration of Black History Month. "Black History Month and the whole modern black history movement was started to tell black people and the nation the real history and contributions of the black people of America," Thorpe said. Thorpe added Black History Month was originally Negro History Week and was centered around Abraham Lincoln's birthday on Feb. 12. The week was stret ched to a month in the mid-1960s when the interest in black history and black civil rights reached its peak. "It's a national movement and a big one," he said. According to Thorpe, the ASAALH leads the sponsorship of Black History . Month. It "p?ovides"a cBlack Histbry ! Month Kit containing pictures, essays and other information that is sold na tionally to libraries, schools and other in stitutions to inform people about the event. Thorpe also said that Black History Month was celebrated nationally with speakers, exhibits, plays, television pro grams, movies, choirs, paintings, and radio and talk shows. "Black History Month is an inspiration especially to black youth, to learn about black achievers in all areas. I believe that black people need black role models rather than white ones." Sonja Stone, assistant professor of Afro-American Studies, said, "One of the main purposes of Black History Month is to give serious attention to the problems facing black people at the pre sent time." Thorpe, who was present at Jimmy Carter's signing of a proclamation recognizing Black History Month two years ago, said he hoped the celebration could help white Americans get a larger sense of black history, v . , V 0, J Q ' tiff's, jtts&k - i s . ..

March 5 Bibb County Schools Group provides policy discus mon By TAMMY DAVIS Staff Writer The UNC International Center is sponsoring the Great Deci sions '82 program that provides UNC students and Orange County residents with an opportunity to discuss their views on foreign policy. "We've been involved in Great Decisions in previous years but this is the first year we've been in charge," said Peter Topp ing, program assistant of the International Center, The discus sions are scheduled every Thursday from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the Union auditorium. Topping said the purpose of the program is "to bring to light important issues of foreign policy to the American citizens." The program is sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association in New York, Topping said. "The Foreign Policy Association has two major purposes. First, they promote local communities that will hold these discussions and, second, they collect ballots from people who wish to vote on major foreign policies," he said. "The ballots are sent to federal government agencies as an indication of the public's views on foreign policy." Topping said there are eight international centers involved locally, including several UNC student groups. "We have all worked cooperatively to make the nropram a success." he said. Local organizers promote the discussions and advertise them, Topping said. "We've been using local resources and presenting a panel of various people from diverse informational backgrounds. They discuss the issues, among themselves and then we leave the rest of the time for discussion between the audience and the panel," he said. Topping said the Foreign Policy Association picks the eight topics of discussion on present foreign policy. Such topics as "America's Defense" and "The U.S.A. in Western Europe" have already been discussed and future topics include "World Resources," "Global Inflation" and "The USSR in Poland and Japan," he said. ..... "Our audience is about half senior citizens who were once ac tive in foreign policy issues and half students from the Universi ty," he said. "It's really interesting to see this combination because of their different views on foreign policy." Topping added that people who wish to vote need to purchase a Great Discussions booklet which is available at the Interna tional Center in the Student Union. However, no one has to vote, he said. "The program has been very successful thus far," Topping said. "It's open to anyone, and everyone is welcome."
