The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, September 1819843 Dean Williamson replaces Morrow as UNC provost Meddock from paQ8 1 Samuel R. Williamson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and the General College has been appointed University provost, head of the University's Division of Academic Affairs. The UNC Board of Governors approved Willliam son Friday as the replacement for Charles Morrow, provost for the past 15 years. Morrow resigned his post to return to full-time teaching and research. As provost, Williamson said he hoped to help the University continue implementing its newly restruc tured undergraduate curriculum. In addition, he said he planned to help the operation of the University's library and computer facilities. Williamson will assume his new position once the University finds a replacement for his current job. The Division of Academic Affairs includes the College of Arts and Sciences, the General College, the six professional schools, the University library, Ackland Art Museum, the Computation Center, the Meuiit and instructional support Center, and the summer session. Since his appointment as dean in 1977, Williamson has supported the restructuring of the undergraduate curriculum. He gave special attention to fund raising for the College of Arts and Sciences and to introducing computer-assisted instruction at the University. Previously a history professor, Williamson was the first director of the University's curriculum in peace, war and defense. He specializes in strategic and diplomatic history. Before coming to Chapel Hill in 1972, Williamson was a faculty member at Harvard University and assistant to the dean of Harvard College. He also taught at the J.F. Kennedy School of Government. Williamson received his bachelor's degree in history in 1958 from Tulane University and studied at the University of Edinburgh as a Fulbright scholar. He earned his master's degree and his doctorate from Harvard University. Hot Air Balloon Race in Kinston. Balloonmeister is the most presti gious position in a hot-air balloon race. As Meddock explained, "My ultimate responsibilities are the safety of the event and the fairness of the contest." He was definitely kept busy in Kinston, when the early stages of Hurricane Diarra plnveH avoc with the weathei . Poor weather conditions forced Med dock to allow only two of the five scheduled contests to be flown so that balloonists of all experience levels could participate under safe racing conditions. In the spring, Meddock plans to attend a similar hot air balloon race in Burlington. Hunt urged to let Bar field die RALEIGH Gov. Jim Hunt "has no choice" but to let stand Velma Barfield's Nov. 2 execution date, families of Barfield's poisoning victims said yesterday. "If he (Hunt) goes by the merits of the case, he really has no choice," said Alice T. Storms, whose father was among those killed. Our trip to Raleigh " today is one that should not be neces sary. No victims of violent crime should have to persuade anyone to enforce the law, much less to bring letters to persuade the highest official in the state to uphold the law." Following a press conference at the Capitol with about a dozen supporters, Storms said she would give Hunt 2,000 signed letters seeking Barfield's execu tion. Hunt has promised a quick decision after meetings today and tomorrow with supporters and oppo nents of clemency. Barfield's attorney petitioned Hunt for clemency on Saturday. Barfield's supporters have recently mounted a campaign to portray her as a woman whose drug addiction led to the poisonings, said Kim Norton, Barfield's 21-year-old daughter. But Storms said yesterday that Barfield was "an accomplished liar to the point of taking advantage of every social issue" to get clemency. ANEW GONTRACEPTTVE IS HERE.
