CAG raises funds from private sector for UNC Monday, February 14, 1933The Daily Tar Heel3 : t 1 9. 4, i 1 DTHJeff Neuville .Eugene Jackson ... Carolina Annual Giving director By SCOTT RALLS Staff Writer Money makes the world go around, as they say, and UNC is no exception. To ensure UNC's financial continuity, the Carolina Annual Giving organization has taken responsibility for raising private funds for the University, and so far it has met with success. The 1981-82 CAG campaign raised $1.4 million from 13,869 donors a 52 percent increase in fundraising over the previous vear. As of February 9, the 1982-83 campaign, which began in July, had raised $1,138,000 from 10,500 donors, most of which was due to a fall mailing program not included in the '81-'82 campaign, CAG officials said. But despite the recent successes of CAG, private donors are not lining up at the door. "The misnomer of Carolina as a state university has a large effect, because people say 'you get your money from the state, " said Eugene Jackson, director of CAG. Actually, only 39 percent of UNC's budget comes from the state and 6 percent from tuition and fees, leaving 55 percent to be made up by grants, foundations, corpo rations, alumni and friends. Private schools have better participation from their alumni because the idea of having to give is instilled from the freshman year, Jackson said. One of the problems with private funding to UNC is created by the image of the University, said Stan Camp bell, associate director of CAG. "Some people leave Chapel Hill saying 'it's such a wonderful place, what else do they need,' " Campbell said. "Only within the last few years are people finding out that there are some very serious needs here." UNC ranks next to last in the ACC in front of the University of Maryland in percentages jf alumni who give to their alma mater. " "Our slogan would be 'Thank God for Maryland,' " said Rollie Tillman, vice chancellor for student affairs for the University. "Students leaving UNC get misty-eyed about Carolina, they sing 'Hark the Sound,' but they don't give," Tillman said. To end many of the problems of private funding, CAG was developed two years ago to take the place AJumni . Annual Giving, which existed from 1952 to 198U and on ly solicited unrestricted gifts. CAG combined the alumni programs of the various schools on campus, allowing alumni and friends to make restricted gifts to the schools and organizations and still be included in the University's honor roll, which this year will be sent out to 30,000 people. "For the University overall, restricted giving has had a tremendous impact," Jackson said. "You can't force a person to give, and if you do not allow the restrictions, they may not give at all." Most of the privately-donated money is in essence unrestricted once it is designated, it is still up to the different deans to decide how it is spent. This type of program, which was patterned after a similar program at the University of Georgia, is a more feasible way to get people involved in donating, Jackson said. Although much of the new money coming through CAG is money that previously went to particular or ganizations and schools at UNC, CAG officials think that another reason for the increased giving is the efforts to educate the alumni to the needs of the University. Since the formation of CAG, there has been an in crease in unrestricted private funds and practically every one of the different schools has reported an increase in funds from private gifts, Jackson said. Once the combined giving catches on, Jackson said he felt that CAG would really move forward. "It is the cultivating of annual giving from alumni," Jackson said of CAG. "Most of the large contributors to the University started with annual giving of say, $25." He said that he hoped the efforts of CAG would have a significant impact on the University. "The needs of the University continue to increase, and with this period of austerity, the Legislature is not going to increase its giving to UNC," he said. "The difference must be made up with private gifts." "Things are getting incredibly tight around here," Vice Chancellor Tillman said. "What these people are doing is building the base of our future through the telephone campaign, direct mail and 750 volunteers."

S James Pence, associate professor speech communica tion: "There is potential for sufficient input in the ex isting organizational structure, but there is the problem of continuity of student input, since student members of administrative conimittees change from year to year." David Elliott, senior computer science major, Chapel Hill: "I don't think we really hear about the issues soon enough. I don't think the DTH covers what we need to know about. For example, we didn't know about the new meal ticket policy in time." Faye Moore, sophomore industrial relations major, Battleboro: "No, I don't think students are aware of all the policies going on. The Daily Tar Heel does a good job of keeping the students aware, but sometimes it's hard to pick one up. We might not hear about something happening until it's too late to make a difference." LaQuitta Matthews, sophomore computer science major, Winston-Salem: "There may be some problems. Personally, I was affected by the lack of publicity on stu dent health service fees. I think a lot of students believe the fees cover everything, and they don't." Coles Ruff, graduate student in business administra tion, Washington D.C.: "It has been my experience that there are sufficient enough means for graduate students to direct their concerns. It is possible for students to air gripes and get them heard, so I guess we do have input." Teresa Miller, junior accounting major, Winston Salem: "No, I think the liaisons in the dormitories are not used enough. The administration should use the '' liaisons-more often to bring new policies to attention." ; 'it Matthews j - j Ruff Interviews conducted by staff writer Stuart Tonkin-son. Mcora Miller Nominations due Friday Awards honor distinguished professors By SHERRI GOODSON SUff Writer UNC students have until Friday, Feb. .18 to nominate their favorite professors for one of the upcoming Distinguished Teaching Awards. Through the nominations, students and facul ty are given an opportunity to honor pro fessors who deserve recognition for teaching excellence. ' "Some professors expend so much time and energy for their classes these awards are one way they get rewarded," said Michael Zenge, professor of music and head of the, selection committee for the award nominations. Of the six awards given this year, five are Tanner Awards, given by the Tanner Trust and one is a Salgo Award, contributed by the Salgo-Noren Foundation. Both awards are given to professors who teach undergraduates the Tanner Awards for professors on the freshman and sophomore level and the Salgo Award for pro fessors on the junior and senior level, said Maria Young; an administration secretary in the UNC Office of Student Affairs. Only full time UNC faculty members are eligible for the awards, each worth $2,000, Young said. Student participation in the award nomina tions is very important, since it is difficult for the administration to find out exactly what's going on in the classroom, Zenge said. "The awards should go to those professors who have really communicated their subjects well to students, have made them understandable, in teresting and intriguing enough to enjoy the learning process," he said. Ballots and ballot boxes for student nomina tions will be at the following locations: Health Sciences Library Wilson Library Undergraduate Library Carolina Union Campus Y Office of the General College. Ballots will also be available in The Daily Tar Heel this week, Young said. Zenge said the selection committee had taken "considerable pains" to make sure ballots are distributed widely on campus to in crease voter turnout. "We've gone to trouble to make sure ballots fall in the paths of students," he said. What students say on the ballots is also very important, Zenge said, since the reason for the nomination is more important than just the name of the teacher on the ballot. . After Friday's deadline for ballots, the selec tion committee consisting of six faculty members and six students divides the ballots into different disciplines and decides on final nominations. These selections go to UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham III, who makes the final decision on the six award win ners. The recipients are announced at the March Faculty Council meeting. What?
