Director of University ' Housing
Wayne T. Kuncl said he had an
obligation to communicate with the
students, and one of his goals is to
improve that communication.
Kuncl, who has served as director of
housing for three years and been
involved in college housing administra
tion for 20 years, said getting to know
people individually was a challenge.
"I have total responsibility for all of
student housing," Kuncl said. "So I'm
dealing with a very large organization
and more than 7,000 students." ,
Kuncl said he understood the prob
lem of communicating with students
and worked to reorganize the Housing
Department by giving the area directors
a direct communication link to his
office.
"I felt before that the area directors
were too far removed from the director
of housing," he said.
"The area directors used to work
through the associate director for staff
and student development (Allan
Calarco)," Kuncl said. "We can now
bring the director of housing closer to
the students by having the area directors
report directly to me."
Another way Kuncl has improved

communication is by making the
Housing Department administration
less of a heirarchy. At the top of that
heirarchy is Chancellor Christopher C.
Fordham III.
As director of University Housing,
Kuncl reports directly to Donald A.
Boulton, vice-chancellor and dean of
Student Affairs, and to Farris W.
Womack, vice-chancellor for business,
who make up the second level of the
heirarchy.
Under Kuncl are five key staff
members who make up the Housing
Department's central administration
located in Carr Building.
Collin Rustin, associate director for
administration, helps Kuncl in overall
department management and is the
primary contact for students and
parents. "
Calarco is responsible for staff
training and development activities.
Larry Hicks, business manager, helps
Kuncl develop the budget and manage
the department's finances.
William Sposato, associate director
for operations, is responsible for
housekeeping, maintenance and small
renovations.
Lydia Lewis, manager of student
family housing, now also is in charge
of conference services. Lewis is respon
sible for generating business during the
summer to alleivate housing costs

during the acadmeic year.
These five staff members, along with
10 area directors report directly to
Kuncl, and the entire group meets every
Thursday.
. Kuncl said he did "not want to make
decisions in a vacuum."
"The decision makers should be
aware of the impact of their decisions
on the system," Kuncl said. Feedback
is important because it allows the
organization to correct bad decisions
and to make better ones, he said.
Since there are so many students
living on campus, student input has to
be representative, he said. Students can
go to their resident assistants with any
problems or questions, he said.
"If the RA's (residents assistants) are
doing their job well by getting to know
the students well, the AD's (area
directors) will get to know the RA's very
well and the director will get to know
the AD's very well," he said. "There is
the potential for the system to work very
well."
Housing also receives student input
from student government, Kuncl said,
just as he is adviser to the Residence
Hall Association.
"It is important to me that a dor
mitory governor feels free to walk
through my door and say 'I have a
problem,'" Kuncl said. '

"One of the reasons I got into this
business is my enjoyment of working
with students."
In addition to being concerned with
getting feedback from students, Kuncl
also has long-term and immediate plans
to upgrade dormitory facilities. Another
important concern is the opening of the
new dormitory on campus and the
expansion of Scott Residence College,
he said. ,?
Kuncl also is planning strategies to
increase faculty and student involve
ment outside the classroom, increase
academic and intellectual programming
in dormitories, implement an alcohol
education program and improve racial
understanding in dormitories.

"It's satisfying to know youVe
helped someone and to feel like
you've made a difference," said
Frederic W. Schroeder, assistant vice
chancellor of student affairs.
Schroeder, whose name is pro
nounced with a long V where the
'oe' is, came to UNC in 1964 as the
Director of the Department of
Student Life. This past summer he
was appointed assistant vice chan
cellor of student affairs.
His responsibilities to students
include helping students with their
personal needs and problems as well
as fulfilling routine administrative
duties, he said.
"We help with specific student
needs of an individual or a group,"
he said.
As a hypothetical example,
Schroeder said the office might
become involved with helping some
one preregister after he has been
hospitalized, or it might help family
and friends of a seriously injured
student.
Schroeder also said the Office was
often used for problem solving by
many students.
"Although there are many differ
ent resources a student can use when
he has a problem, we are often turned
to when a student wants to ask
'where do I begin?"
On a specific level, SchroederV

routine responsibilities include work
ing with the student judicial system,
working with commencement, dis
persing trust funds to the Sports
Club and making sure that certain
organizations receive gifts given to
them. He also chairs the chancellor's
task force on use and abuse of
alcohol by students, a program that
was started last fall.
"It's not always easy to find
enough time to complete work with
other problems continually coming
through," he said. "There can be
anywhere from 25 to 50 issues
coming through a week, some of
which need immediate action."
Schroeder said his ideal philo
sophy of relationships between
faculty and students was an open and
challenging relationship committed
to the pursuit and exchange of
knowledge.
"The most successful relationship
between faculty and students is one
where the student can say I don't
understand and ask questions,
Schroeder said.
"Although thic kind of inter
change cant happen 100 percent of
the time, it is an exciting and
rewarding experience when it does
happen.
"It is challenging for all of us in
an academic community to realize
learning best takes place with some
degree of interchange," Schroeder
said.
