The Daily Tar HeelThursday, October 10, 18353 O .. n ' w tfi 0 r, Ms. i'D(K SOD By JOY THOMPSON SfaWrfer The Arkansas Board of Higher Education on Friday nominated Paul B. Marion, Jr., associate vice president for student services and special programs for the UNC system, as director of the .state Department of Higher Education. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, who was out of town at the time of the nomination, will have to approve the nomination, Marion said. Board chairman Nicky Har grove said he expected Clinton to confirm the nomination. "I thought this was an opportunity to expand my experience in higher education administration and make a contribution to the state of Arkan sas," Marion said in an interview Wednesday. Marion has worked in the UNC system since 1978. He served as the General Administration's assistant vice president until 1983, when he was named associate vice president. Marion said he would probably leave for his new Arkansas position in November. "The Board of Higher Education is responsible for planning and coordinating higher education in Arkansas with specific responsibil ities for the 20 public institutions of higher education," Marion said. As the director of the Department of Higher Education, Marion would be Sim CeMmlAmedcBn ismes By BETH OWNLEY Staff Writer The Chapel Hill-Carrboro chapter of the Carolina Interfaith Task Force on Central America will sponsor a refer endum in conjunction with the Nov. 5 elections on peace in Central America. The referendum, called "Proposition Paz," will pose seven resolutions dealing with such issues as the Contadora process, aid to contras, the trade embargo against Nicaragua and the deportation of refugees. "Paz" means peace in Spanish. z. The referendum will have no legal standing because under N.C. law, only the legislature can authorize an official referendum. The CITCA referendum's purpose in the election is to raise public awareness on the Central American issue. The referendum's goals are to find out how people feel about U.S. foreign policy in Latin America and to help citizens focus on peace in Central America, said Sara Carter, CITCA representative. inner.

"The board sets policy, and the Department carries it out," Marion said. He will also serve as a member of the governor's cabinet. . Marion said the appointment was a "positive reflection on President Friday, the University of North Carolina and the UNC Board of Governors ." I think higher education in North Carolina is held in high esteem by many other states," he said, "and my experience here was helpful in my being considered for the position in Arkansas. "I have enjoyed, very much, my experience with the Univeristy of North Carolina General Administra tion and appreciate the opportunity that IVe had here to learn from President Friday and others at the General Administration." The new position will give Marion a chance to put his own organization together and work in a state-wide office, Friday added. Friday said the General Admin istration will not consider filling Marion's position until Lloyd V. Hackley, the University's new vice president for student services and special programs, arrived here, which would probably be next week. The UNC Board of Governors approved Hackley's appointment last month. 6 9 She cited an increase in U.S. military aid from $38.7 million for all of Latin America in 1980 to a proposed $342 million in 1986 for El Salvador. CITCA, a statewide organization begun by Gail Pharcs of the Peace Center at N.C. State University, is also concerned that the United States' recent refusal to participate in World Court proceedings is violating international law, Carter said. The group's basic purpose is to "gather people together for education and political lobbying and to connect us with groups all over the nation," Carter said. "Our membership reflects the com munity at large, although much of our support has come from churches and the religious community," Carter said, adding that community churches have been supportive of the group and that all group meetings take place in churches.
