CGC rejects campus party due to alcohol issue
By ART WOODRUFF be nlanned but the motion failed ..
By ART WOODRUFF

The Summer Campus Govern
ing Council effectively killed
plans for a campus party when
it did not reconsider a bill that
Student Body President Paul
Parker said he would not sign.
Last week the Summer CGC
passed a bill authorizing the
purchase of beer for a party that
was planned for Friday. The bill
required the signature of the
student body president within ten
class days.
Parker would not sign the bill
because of the liability involved
with serving beer at the party and
the possibility it could jeopardize
the University's proposed alcohol
policy, he said.
Donald Boulton, vice chancel
lor and dean of student affairs,
said in an interview after the
meeting Monday that lawyers
had said the University should
not accept the liability of such a
Party.
Under the University's pro
posed alcohol policy the party
would be permitted but until the
policy is approved the party
would not be allowed, he said.
Parker said, Chancellor Chris
topher C. Fordham III said he
did not want to have to make the
decision about the party.
Under the Safe Roads Act
which took effect last October,
the University could be liable for
accidents occuring as a result of
the party and it would not be fair
to ask the University to accept
that liabililty, Parker said.
The five Summer CGC
members present at the meeting
twice voted on reconsidering the
bill so that something else could
Affirmative Action
officer named

UNC Chancellor Chris
topher C. Fordham III
announced Tuesday that
Robert J. , Cannon, assistant
vice chancellor for affirmative
action at the University of
Georgia, would be the new
UNC Affirmative Action
officer.
Fordham made the
announcement after Cannon's
appointment was approved by
the UNC Board of Trustees.
"He is a superbly qualified
man," Fordham said. "We
look forward to having him
with us."
Cannon will be the second
full-time affirmative action
officer at UNC. Harold Wal
lace, vice chancellor for Uni
versity Affairs, has been acting
Affirmative Action officer
since November 7, 1984, when
be planned but the motion failed
both times.
Speaker Wyatt Closs, member
Dawn Peters and Parker wanted
to reconsider the bill and remove
the authorization to purchase
alcohol. The three wanted to
consider hiring bands for a party
to which students could bring
their own alcohol.
Summer Finance Chairman
Rebel Cole said he was against
hiring bands because he thought
few students would attend and
because the original party was
planned as a protest against the
federal law requiring states to
raise the drinking age to 21.
It may be more important to
make a statement by not recon
sidering the bill than to give in
to the administration and have
some other social event, Cole
said.
Council member Max Lloyd
said the purpose of the party was
to show that 19 and 20-year-olds
can drink responsibly. If every
reasonable safeguard is taken
then there will not be much risk
that could lead to liability and
students can show that they are
responsible, he said.
There could be a three-beer
limit or drinkers could be
required to sign an affadavit that
they would not drive for four or
five hours, he said.
Boulton said that a written
alcohol policy would reduce the
University's liability. "We can
show that we have given it good
thought and thereby minimize
our liability," he said.
Susan H. Ehrinhaus, the Uni
versity's attorney, said in a phone
interview Monday night that,
because the University's alcohol
policy is still in draft form and
Benjamin Rawlins resigned to
become assistant to the chan
cellor of N.C. A & T State
University.
Rawlins assumed the post
after Gillian T. Cell, the first
full-time Affirmative Action
officer at UNC, resigned June
30, 1984, to become chairman
of the history department.
As Affirmative Action
Officer, Cannon will be respon
sible for the review and admin
istration of the University's
affirmative action program
and procedures and pSlicies
relating to the recruitment,
hiring and retention of faculty
and staff.
Cannon, who earned a doc
toral degree in history from
UNC in 1975, has been the
assistant vice chancellor for
affirmative action at the Uni
versity of Georgia since 1980.

has not been approved by the
chancellor, she could not com
ment on its ability to protect the
University from a law suit.
She said she had not been
consulted about the plans for the
party.
Parker said, "If we do this
(have the party) and mess up I
don't think section 3a will be in
the (alcohol) policy."
Section 3a allows student fees
to be used to purchase alcohol.
Since the party will not be held,
the only summer session fees
being spent for summer school
students is what student organ
izations that were allocated
money by the full CGC spend.
Boulton said he had asked Parker
for a full accounting of how
BOG raises out-of-state tuition
By ART WOODRUFF
Tar Heel Staff Writer
The UNC Board of Governors Friday increased
student fees and raised non-resident tuition an
average of 9 percent at the 16 campuses in the UNC
system.
The Board also elected new officers, with the
chairmanship being contested for the first time in
the Board's history, and appointed Jane Elizabeth
Milley chancellor of the North Carolina School of
the Arts.
Milley is the first woman to be named a chancellor
in the UNC system.
Tuition for most non-residents at the Chapel Hill
campus will increase from $2,842 to $3,100 for
students in the academic affairs division.
The increases for health affairs out-of-state
students will range from $258 for undergraduate
students to $3 1 8 for graduate students.
The tuition increase follows a 26 percent increase
last year. Both raises were needed to keep UNC
non-resident tuition on par with non-resident tuition
at other public universities, a requirement imposed
by the N.C. General Assembly last year.
Tuition will not increase for in-state students.
Fees that will increase for Chapel Hill students
are the health fee, the student activities fee and
special student fees for MBA students and dentistry
students.
The Student Activities Fee increase of $1.75 a
semester is to help support Student Television and
the intramurals program.
summer session fees would be spent.
"I have a responsibility to all
the students to make sure their
money is going where it should,"
he said.
"If it ( the fees) is not being
spent the way student govern
ment wants to (as agreed to in
1973) then well go back to where
we were," he said. Before 1973
summer fees were spent by a
committee of students, faculty
and administrators.
Cole said there needs to be
some discussion about some kind
of compromise before the voting
to reconsider the bill. The motion
to reconsider takes four votes (at
least two-thirds) but once that
motion is passed a simple major
ity of three votes can pass a new
Tar HeelJamie Moncrief
Max Lloyd discussed tne issue of
bill, he said.
After hearing a proposal for
something that students would
enjoy and that would not give
into the administration, Cole
said, he and Lloyd would vote to
reconsider.
Last week the Summer CGC
voted to have a party if the
puchase of alcohol was "deemed
legal by a Student Legal Services
attorney."
Parker said, "We looked into
the legal issue and called the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board and talked to about four
attorneys and the Institute of
Government and basically it
(spending student fees on alco
hol) is legal...but the liability is
enormous."
The STV fee of 50 cents was requested in a
referendum by students and will be collected for
the coming school year only.
The intramurals fee, which is set by the admin
istration and has not increased since 1975, will
increase $1.25 a semester, said Donald Boulton, vice
chancellor and dean of student affairs.
Both of these fees are considered Student
Activities Fees by the BOG but they are not allocated
by the Campus Governing Council.
Philip G. Carson, an Asheville attorney, was
elected chairman of the BOG by a vote of 16-15
over Winston-Salem Mayor Wayne A. Corpening.
Carson's candidacy was seen by some as a move
by younger members of the BOG to give more of
the everyday policy-making power to the BOG at
the expense of UNC President William Friday.
However, after his election Carson said, "If
anybody in this state thinks this election is in any
way any kind of referendum on Bill Friday or the
(UNC) adminstration ... or the Board of Governors,
then they don't know me and they don't know the
person that they were voting for."
Jacob H. Froelich Jr. of High Point was elected
vice chairman. .
About Milley's selection as chancellor of the
North Carolina School of the Arts, Friday said,
"Dr. Milley's appointment is in my view one of the
most significant actions ever taken by the UNC
Board of Governors. She is our first woman
chancellor, and I am proud of that appointment,
