UNC officials request
i
new SAC inspection
. By DICK ANDERSON
StaH Writer
University officials have requested a
new examination into the Student Activi
ties Center construction after newly de
veloped cracks were found in three con
crete tiebeams within the structure.
New York-based design firm Weidlinger
Associates will review the center's struc
tural design plans, shop drawings, field
modifications and construction records,
said Farris W. Womack, vice chancellor
of business and finance.
Womack likened the new examination
to a "second surgical opinion" and said
that the University had been exercising
caution with the center from the begin
ning because of its design and visibility.'
"It is not something that is major,"
State Construction Director Ray DeBruhl
said of the damage found. The cracks
developed over the Christmas holidays
when the temperature dropped to its
lowest point spme 70 degrees below
that of the temperature when the concrete
was poured, he said.
"Concrete responds to temperature
changes. It is weak in tension and strong
in compression," DeBruhl said. Had the

Friday: schools need more aid
From staff and wire reports
The UNC system has taken steps to
help improve the public schools by im
proving the teachers it trains, UNC Presi
lent William C. Friday said last week.
Friday told the UNC Board of Gover
nors in a meeting Friday that the Quality
Assurance Plan is being used to upgrade
teacher training and make the teacher cer
tification process more rigorous.
He also said math-science training
centers, in partnership with local school
systems, were helping math and science
teachers already working in the schools
get certification and recertification. Of
ficials say that there are now three such
centers in North Carolina and that UNC
hopes to operate seven by 1986.
Friday also said a principals' manage
ment program was being developed at the
Chapel Hill campus to provide four to five
weeks of intensive training programs from
leadership to budget preparation.
John P. Kennedy Jr., general secretary
of the UNC system, said in an interview
Friday, "It's one huge educational
system, with the public schools and the
university system, and the public schools
are desperately behind. Thar'

thermometer dipped, the damages may
never have occurred, he said.
"The design firm will pay for this par
ticular cracked strut," said DeBruhl,
noting that earlier errors plaguing the $30 .
million center had been flaws in construc
tion rather than design.
DeBruhl said that construction would
continue on the center as planned, al
though remedial work may not be done
immediately. "They (the design firm)
have not submitted their proposed correc
tive measures to us as yet," he said. "This
is an area where there haven't been any
problems."
The cracks were discovered during a
routine inspection by a designer's repre
sentative last week, DeBruhl said. The
site was examined Thursday by University
officials and representatives from the
Division of State Construction and the
construction and design firms involved.
The SAC was examined in the fall by
Consulting Structural Engineer Paul Z.
Zia in response to charges -by subcon
tractor Sterling Jones of defects in con
. struttion. The investigation concluded
that the center was structurally sound and
that further corrective work was unnecessary.
President Friday was addressing how
much the public schools needed faculty
pay increases."
The Board of Governors also was told
that the UNC system plans to increase its
efforts to reach desegregation goals by
the fall of 1986. According to a report fil
ed last month, the 1 1 predominantly
white institutions are behind in their ef
forts to achieve desegregation.
Raymond Dawson, vice president for
academic affairs, told the board that he
did not know what would happen if UNC
failed to meet the enrollment targets set
by the U.S. Department of Education.
Enrollment of blacks at the white cam
puses must increase to 10.6 percent, while
white enrollment must reach 15 percent at
predominantly black institutions.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get
there," Dawson said. "It'll be quite clear
that if we don't (achieve desegregation
goals), it won't be from a lack of effort."
Kennedy said improvements were con
tinuing to be made in the UNC system
including $116 million in capital im
provements since 1981 that would help
move the system toward its desegregation
goals.

Jimmy Green announces his
Elections chairman resigns post
With less than a month to go before
campus elections, there is no Elections
Board chairman to organize the
balloting.
Chris Cox said Sunday that he had
resigned as Elections Board chairman
for personal reasons. While he has not
submitted a formal letter of resigna
tion, Cox said he told Student Body
President Kevin Monroe at the end of
the fall semester that he would no
longer serve in the post.
Reggie Holley, chairman of the
Campus Governing Council Rules and
Judiciary Committee, said Monroe
had not yet nominated anyone to
replace Cox. The CGC is responsible
for approving the chairman and the
members of the Elections Board.
Holley said he was concerned that a
delay in confirming a new chairman
could force a postponement of the
Feb. 14 elections. He speculated that
Cox resigned because of difficulty in

Sets priorities
Lf. Gov. Green announces candidacy
By TOM CONLON
Staff Writer
RALEIGH Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green,
making his formal announcement for the
Democratic gubernatorial race Friday,
said education, care for the sick and
elderly, jobs and economic development
would be his priorities as governor.
Clad in a bright green sportcoat with a
red rose on his lapel, Green spoke to
about 500 supporters from across the
state in near-freezing temperatures on the
south lawn of the state capitol.
, "In an era of many needs and limited
resources, we must find better ways to
educate our youth, improve the quality
and the rewards of teaching, administer
to the sick, care for the mentally ill and
handicapped and provide adequately for
our elderly," Green said.
"We must also create jobs for the
unemployed, reward our heroic veterans,
reduce crime, rebuild our transportation
system, strike a balance between
economic growth and highway develop
ment and give every individual the
rightful place he earns for himself in our
society," he said. "My record clearly
shows that I have tried to point our state
in the right direction as we begin making
strides to reach these goals."
Green said he was responsible for
passage of laws that expanded vocational
education, clamped down on child por
nography and got tough with people who
did not meet their child support respon
sibilities. During Greenes present term as
lieutenant governor, he played a key role
in preventing state ratification of the
Equal Rights Amendment and broke a
tie-vote in the Senate by voting against a
nuclear freeze resolution.
Green thanked his supporters for their
help in past campaigns and for standing
by him during his recent court trial. He
was charged with four counts of con
spiracy to take a bribe and one count of ac
cepting a $2,000 bribe. Green was acquit
ted of all the ch? last OSctnlw

"Selection '84 would be a column that

said. ,

"A lot of people thought I would never
be here-today," he said. "In fact, some
of them set forces in motion which
resulted in almost a million dollars of tax
payers' money being spent to keep me
from making this announcement. But
thanks to a just God and the fact that our
system of justice works despite this
shameful attempt to manipulate it I
am here, I am going to announce, and,
with God's help and your help, I am go
ing to win."
Announcing on Friday the 13th meant
a lot to Green it was the birthday of his
wife, Alice. "Through 40 years of mar
riage she has enriched my life beyond
description," he said. "You will quickly
understand this day has always been a
very special one to us."
Many people who attended wore green
sweatshirts reading "The Next Best
Thing To Being There Yourself Jimmy
Green, Governor 1984." A banner near
the George Washington statue on capitol
grounds read "Keep North Carolina
Green." The crowd sang "God Bless
America" together before a procession of
supporters followed Green down the
Fayetteville Street Mall to the State Board
of Elections office, where Green paid his
$850 candidacy filing fee.
Green, 62, is the second lieutenant
governor to serve on a full-time basis,
and, in 1980, he became the first man to
succeed himself in that office. He
previously served on the Bladen County
Board of Education from 1956 to 1961
and in the N.C. House of Representatives
from 1961 to 1976. He served as speaker
of the house from 1975-76 before being
elected lieutenant governor.
A native of Halifax County, Va., he
received his post-secondary education at
Washington and Lee University, later
moving to Clarkton, N.C, as a young
man. He is currently an owner and
operator of tobacco warehouses in Chad
bourn, Clarkton, Greenville, Brookneal,
Va., and Newport, Tenn.
