V 1,500 evacuated after gas leak A gas line rupture last Wednesday caused the evacuation of more than 1,500 UNC students and faculty members from four campus buildings. No injuries were reported.

The evacuation, which began at 1 p.m. lasted about six hours. Buildings, cleared were: the Faculty Laboratory Office Building, Brauer Hall, Burnett-Womack Clinical Sciences Building and the Dental Research Building. At about 7 p.m., after a floor-by-floor search of the buildings for gas pockets, people were permitted to return to the buildings. v . No patients .from nearby -'N.C.

Audreye Johnson, chairperson of the caucus and associate professor in the School of Social Work, said the ad ministration had some of the same con cerns that the caucus had. The first meeting took place Sept. 29 and involved, in addition to Johnson, UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham HI, Gillian Cell, UNC affirmative action officer, and Harold G. Wallace, vice, chancellor for University affairs. , . , "We discussed the position papers, and planned follow-up meetings to be held at a later date," Johnson said. In the two papers, the caucus expressed its con cern over recent hiring practices of minority faculty arid non-faculty. The papers stated that 81.8 percent of black UNC employees under the State Person nel Act are employed in service and maintenance areas, while 3.9 percent work in executive, administrative and managerial positions. The caucus also said that in recent years the University hf hired a lower percentage of non-faculty black workers under the, Exempt from Personnel Act than white workers. While Johnson would not comment on what was discussed at the meeting, she said everyone was "looking for positive results." In addition to discussing the caucus' report, Fordham requested that discus sion of the matter continue in the future, Cell said. "In the near future we want to make a report to the Chancellor," she said. " We're looking at the caucus' complaints about the State Personnel Act grievance procedure and at the handling of black applicants for employment. We're taking the papers from the caucus very seriously. "It's to early to tell at this point what actions might be taken," she said. "We can't tell what changes in policy there might be." , Lectures series examining Lebanon kicks off today The UNC curriculum in peace, war and defense will sponsor a lecture series this week exploring the crisis in Lebanon.
