Money sought to improve college
The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, September 20, 19843

UNC has embarked on a fund-raising
campaign designed to raise $10 million
to strengthen its College of Arts and
Sciences.
The College of Arts and Sciences
makes up the group of departments
representing the most basic disciplines
and instructing the greatest number of
undergraduate students. According to
John Webb, executive director of the
Arts and Sciences Foundation, UNC's
is among the best in the nation and
perhaps best in the Southeast, but the
college needs money to stay that way.
"This is a very excellent University,
Webb said. "It is a cause worth
supporting. Excellence always costs
money it always costs more. What
makes the difference in the top 20
universities is always that (money).
"This is a campaign to support the
heart of the University,' Webb said.
"What we are working on right now
is like the trunk of a tree, because all
of the professional schools grow out of
this."
One plan calls for money is to
improve the quality of teachers at the
University. For this reason, part of the
money will be spent on endowed
professorships.
"In order to have the best teachers
at Carolina, we have to be competitive
in pay, Webb said, noting that a pay
freeze a few years ago caused UNC to
fall behind in its teachers' pay. "Right
now, it's good," Webb added. "But it
is not comparative with those univer
sities with whom we want to compare."
Another problem that UNC will have
to deal with will be the declining number
of college-aged students in coming
years.
"According to demographic changes
in the country, there are fewer 19-year-olds
this year than there were last year,"
Webb said. "Colleges and universities
will become less selective than they have
been. We want the funds to bring the
best student minds to Carolina."
One million dollars of the funds will
be used to establish a merit scholarship
within the University to attract some
of the brightest undergraduate students
to the school. Another $1 million will
be for graduate fellowships designed for
the same reason.
Other programs supported by the
funds will be an outreach program,
designed to help improve the quality of
education .with North Carolina high
schools, and a program to help train
students and faculty to use computers.
"Going out into the world without
a knowledge of computers today is like
going out without the language," Webb
said. "Any serious university is going
to have to have all of its students trained
in some sort of computers skill."
Part of the University's outreach
program is to hold summer workshops
on campus to train teachers so they in
turn can better teach their students.
"It's an answer to a national concern
about the mediocrity in the high
schools," Webb said. "It's the Univer
sity's way of addressing a national
concern, but it's also self-serving
because we then have better students
enrolling at Carolina."
The money will be raised by a
volunteer steering committee of busi
nessmen and civic leaders from through
out the state.
"I am confident that the campaign
will succeed," Webb said. "We already
have raised $3.3 million."
Webb said he expected to reach the
goal of $10 million within 18 months.
Those who wish to donate money to
this campaign can give their contribu
tions through the Carolina Fund and
designate it for the Arts and Sciences
Foundation.
