4The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, September 18, 1984 Campus Y planning varied activities this year By CHERYL WILLIAMS Staff Writer 1 he Campus Y, a student-run organ i7ation composed of 25 active committees, has a variety of events planned for this year. One of the biggest will be Human Rights Week, Nov. 14-17, said Campus Y co-president Jennifer Ayer. Human Rights Week consists of a series of programs on human rights and wrongs, Ayer said. The programs will focus on such issues as military powers, minority rights, poverty and hunger, and political rights and expression. The keynote speech, "The Crisis, of Human . Rights in the 1980s" will" be delivered by John G. Healey, executive director of the U.S. Amnesty International. Two new committees have been added to the Campus Y this year, said co-president David Brown. The new Women's Forum will serve as a communication and resource center for women on campus, Brown said. The organization plans to hold bi weekly discussion meetings, speakers and seminars centering on current issues.

In 1982, AT&T agreed to divest itself of the 22 companies it controlled, including Southern Bell. The split, which occurred at the beginning of this year, has led to many changes locally and throughout North Carolina. "Southern Bell has reduced its work force in North Carolina by 31 percent since, the beginning of 1983," said Ron Stamey, Southern Bell operations manager in Raleigh. Stamey said Chapel Hill's work force has not been reduced, although some changes have been made. "I don't think Chapel Hill's work force has been directly reduced," said Stamey. "We have consolidated some functions from Chapel Hill to Raleigh but that's all." In addition, the Southern Bell payment office located on Franklin Street has been closed down. "We closed that payment office simply because the cost of taking payments was so much higher than having a payment agency," said Stamey. The cost of maintaining a payment office is at least three times higher and closing the office was simply an effort to reduce the cost of running the business, he said. "When we have an office over there, all they do is take payments. When no payments are made, we still have to pay for staffing it with tellers, for renting it and for air conditioning, etc.," said Stamey. "The volume just does not justify having the payment office over there." Chapel Hill residents and students now have to pay their phone bills at either NCNB National Bank or Central Carolina Bank or mail their payments directly to Southern Bell. "A great majority, in fact 98 to 99 percent of all customers, pay by mail," he said. "And we do encourage mailing it." Under the divestiture agreement, there is now an AT&T corporation which includes AT&T Technologies, AT&T Information Systems, and AT&T Communications. AT&T now provides all local exchange services and long distance calls within a certain geographical area. These Local Access and Transport Areas, or LATA's, determine whether AT&T bills you for the long distance call or whether Southern Bell bills you. For example, Southern Bell controls the Raleigh-area LATA and charges for calls within the area are paid to Southern Bell. AT&T handles the Charlotte-area LATA, so calls within that particular LATA are billed by AT&T. Customers receive only one bill for long distance calls, but that may change in the future. "Right now Bell is handling all long distance charges, but possibly in the future youH get two separate bills according to where your calls are made," said Les Sullivan, an engineer for AT&T. The decision to remove the phones from dormitory rooms was made by Wayne T. Kuncl, director of University Housing, "I found out in January 1983 that AT&T wanted their phones back . . . and I needed to find a better way to remove the phones than simply to have each individual student remove his own," said Kuncl. Kuncl consulted with Bob Peak, head of the utilities division for UNC and Steve Harward, UNC's manager of telecommunications systems in Chapel Hill. Peak and Harward did a study of all the options and came up with a plan to have AT&T remove the telephones and Southern Bell put in the jacks and wiring. "Southern Bell was chosen for the jacks and wiring out of concern for the students.. If a phone didn't work properly, then it was either the phone or Southern Bell's wiring and could easily be dealt with," said Kuncl. "With this plan the students have the choice of whether to purchase their own phones or to lease them. This gives the students more flexibility. Students should know what steps to take if their phones do not work properly. "If you have leased a phone from AT&T, you call them when your phone messes up," said Sullivan. "However, if you purchased your own phone and it messes up, it is up to you and the company you purchased it from to handle it." If you purchased your own phone and discover a problem with it, you should be sure the trouble is in the line and not the phone itself. "If the repairmen come and determine that it was not the line but indeed your phone, you will be charged a fee of $32.50," Sullivan said. Divest from pafja 1 BOT, declined comment on the divest ment campaign until he received more details, but he said he welcomed public comment on policies concerning the Endowment Fund, the University's investment monies. Ragsdale said the trustees have a responsibility to the state and to the University to invest the funds in the most profitable manner. Any proposal to change the policy would require long and careful study, he said. "We would not quickly or without long thought either stop or start new investment activity," he said. Banks said he believes the divestment campaign will be more successful than past efforts because students will be given greater opportunities for involvement. t "(In the past), students had a chance to be exposed to the issue but not to be involved in the issue," he said. But Banks declined to reveal specific activities being planned. Banks called upon the CGC to back up its divestment resolution by with drawing the $12,000 in Student Govern ment money invested through the Endowment Fund. CGC Speaker Reggie Holley said a move to withdraw Student Government money from the Endowment Fund would have a 50-50 chance of passage. But Holley warned against immediate withdrawal of the funds. Because student organizations are strapped for funds, the CGC will have to ensure any new investments are just as profitable as current investments, he said. CGC member Doug Berger, one of the organizers of the 1983 divestment effort, said the new campaign is getting a boost through the direct involvement of black student organizations. The past effort may have been hurt because black students weren't in leadership roles, Berger said.
