UNC dorm phones removed
By SCOTT WHARTON
Tar Heel Staff Writer
Many summer school students were
surprised to find they had no phones
this week when they moved into Morri
son and Craige dormitories and Gran
ville Towers.
Between May 9 and Wednesday
4092 telephones were removed from
campus residence halls and Granville
Towers by American Telephone & Tele
graph personnel. The old hard-line
jacks were replaced by modular jacks,
which will allow students to have more
flexibility and choices in their phone
use.
Due to the rapid pace of the removal
the University was unable to notify all
residents of Morrison and Craige dor
mitories that they would no longer
have phones in their rooms, said Wayne
Kuncl, director of University housing.
Thus, some students who left their
rooms after exams and returned to
them for summer school came back
unaware of the situation.
UNC report
Kuncl said the decision to go ahead
and remove the phones was not made
until shortly before school ended,
when a deal with Southern Bell and
AT&T officials was reached. The di
vestiture of AT&T necessitated the re
moval of the phones, Kuncl said, be
cause it had become extremely difficult
to get faulty phones serviced on cam
pus. Kuncl, UNC Telecommunications
Manager Steve Harward and Granville
Towers Manager Mel Rinfret all agreed
that the former system whereby stu
dents automatically leased their phones
from Southern Bell was working fine
until the AT&T break-up. They said
that though the removal of the phones
was necessary it was bound to cause
confusion and complications.
Students interviewed Tuesday said
they were happy with the old system
and confused by the new one.
Currently, University housing is
under contract with Southern Bell for
phone line hook-ups. But students are
now able to save $1 .60 a month on ren
tal equipment by purchasing their own
phones, housing officials said.
Students who prefer to rent a phone
must make rental arrangements by call
ing AT&T.
Jocelyn Pratt was one of several stu
dents in Morrison who said she did not
relish having to go out and buy a
phone. "It just doesn't make any sense.
My roomate and I can't even get out
on our phone without going through
the operator because certain numbers
won't dial right," Pratt said. "No one
told us anything (about removing the
phones). We don't know whether we
will be charged for renting from South
ern Bell for the two weeks we haven't
been here or not."
Harward said that all rental charges
were stopped as of May 14.
Pratt also said a Morrison friend had
been told by Southern Bell that she had
never leased a phone through them
when in fact she had leased one. "She
has to now pay for a new phone and all

Need more female faculty
By FANNIE ZOLLICOFFER
Tar Heel Staff Writer
The University has had a poor record
of hiring and retaining women faculty
in the last 10 years, and there are very
few women who are deans, directors or
chairs here, according to a report to the
Faculty Council on April 27.
Mary Turner Lane, who chairs the
Committee on the Status of Women
which drafted the report, told the
council that while women students in
the last 10 years have enjoyed a great
improvement in opportunities at UNC
such as a reversal of the male-female
ratio, the growth of women's team
sports to the same number as men's
and the availability of $500,000 in
scholarships for women women fac
ulty have seen no such improvement in
their opportunities.
The report reviewed the University's
policy toward women under Affirma
tive Action a policy developed in
1973 to prohibit racial and sexual dis
crimination in the university and con
cluded that departmental hiring has not
reflected the availability of women
scholars in various fields, that the ad
ministrative structure of the University
continues to be predominantly male
and that there is a need for child-care
facilities and a formal maternity-leave
policy to enhance opportunities here
for women faculty.
In an interview Monday, Lane said
that women who come to interview for
faculty positions here are especially dis
couraged by the University's poor rec
ord of appointing women to policy
making positions.
"They ask questions like 'How many
women deans are there? What kind of
child-care facilities are there? What are
maternity-leave arrangements?' They
find out we operate under a structure
that's predominantly male," Lane
said. "The data point out the bad
record. Just count the women in
tenure-track positions."
The number of women in tenure
track faculty positions has changed
from a total of 270 in 1974 to 276 in
1983, a growth of only six positions,
Lane said, and no new appointments
of women to administrative positions
were made. A faculty member hired
for a tenure-track position is eligible to
become part of the full-time faculty
without having to work on the basis of
a yearly contract.
Lane said similar recommendations
by the Committee on the Status of Wo-

Garrow takes N.Y. assistant professors
hip
By JODI SMITH
News Editor
David Garrow, 30-year old assistant political
science professor at UNC, has taken a new posi
tion as assistant political science professor at City
College of New York. Garrow has been the subject
of controversy concerning his tenure approval at
UNC, as well as drawing national attention in the
recent adoption of the Martin Luther King na
tional holiday bill.
He said he feels good about his new position.
"It will be in a big-city environment, which I like,
and the classes will be smaller seminars of about
25 students. It is a more attractive, higher-level
position and my salary will almost double." Gar
row makes $19,278 annually at UNC.
Garrow, an expert on the late Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement,
will resign from his job at UNC as of August 31
of this year. He was denied reappointment in a
10-9 decision by the faculty of the political science
department in 1983 and has since had unsuccess
ful appeals to the UNC Board of Trustees last
summer and the UNC Board of Governors earlier
this year.
James W. Prothro, chairman of the UNC polit
ical science department, said that Garrow's re
search publications were more like "investigative
journalism" and lacked f basic scholarship," and
they "do not well serve the overall academic needs
of the department."
Garrow said, in response to this allegation, that
"most people can recognize a Trojan horse when
they see one."
Garrow said that his new position at CCNY
does not rule out a possible lawsuit he may file
against UNC. Garrow has been receiving free
legal services from Williams & Connoly, a Washington-based
firm, via a network of Washington
American Civil Liberties Union attorneys and the
FBI Freedom of Information Act.
Although Garrow did express regrets about
leaving Chapel Hill, he said he feels that the con
troversy actually turned out for the best. "The
marvelous irony in this whole thing is that it has
all come out leaving me better off than if it had
never happened," he said.
Garrow said he will be living in a recently pur
chased four-story house outside of New York City
and will be teaching classes in constitutional law,
U.S. civil liberties and intelligence agencies at
CCNY, as he did at UNC. His most recent project,
a third book called Bearing the Cross: Martin
Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Lead
ership Conference 1955-1968 is up for publication
in August of 1985. Garrow is also working on a
book on J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI and win
spend the summer working for the Joint Center
for Political Studies in Washington, D.C.
Joyce Gelb, chairman of the political science
department at CCNY, said of Garrow, "We are
very pleased to have him on our staff." She said
Garrow would be on track for tenure at CCNY
and will eventually "assume the role of public law
. adviser." '
