Wilson Library renovations are
proceeding on schedule, and the
library should reopen for the fall
1986 semester, said Charlie Davis,
building systems engineer for the
University's engineering and con
struction department.
The renovations of the library
began in April 1984, shortly after
Davis Library opened.
The project will cost about $5.7
million, said Gordon Rutherford,
director of planning. Davis said all
the improvements were being made
inside the building.
"The building is getting a new air
conditioning system, and the electri
cal and plumbing systems are being
upgraded," said Davis in a telephone
interview.
"The main spaces in front of the
building will also be refurbished," he
said.
"The building is being made more
serviceable," said Douglas Walkley,
project manager for Security Build
ing Inc., a local contracting firm
handling the renovations.

Davis said the project had one
major delay in the beginning. "The
piping in the building was covered
with asbestos, and it took a while
for it to be removed. But since then,
the work has been on schedule."
Walkley agreed. "There are always
problems with renovation, but weVe
had nothing out of the ordinary pop

shape as far as the completion
schedule goes."

More than $19 million in charitable
gifts was donated to UNC in fiscal 1985.
Gifts to the University and its
affiliated foundations totaled
$19,830,898 during the fiscal year
ending June 30.
All but $ 1 million was given by people
who indicated how they wanted it to
be used, said Gary Evans, vice chan
cellor for development and University
relations.
He said $1,779,271 was earmarked
for the College of Arts and Sciences'
"Foundations for Excellence" fund
raising campaign.
Some $683,559 was given to academic
programs at UNC without restriction.
Chancellor Christopher Fordham III
distributes funds annually to these
programs.
The remainder of the charitable gifts
went to UNC schools and affiliated
foundations. They are the schools of

Fellowship pirogiramm expands to aid minority .stadeotts
By MATTHEW FURY
Staff Writer
The Ford Foundation is expanding
its fellowship program to help minority
students attain doctoral degrees in the
humanities, engineering, mathematics
and behavioral, social physical and
biological sciences.
"The Ford Foundation felt that
minority presence in university faculties
should be increased," says Christine
O'Brien, staff associate and program
coordinator at the National Research
Council, which admisters the program.
An applicant for the doctoral fellow
ships must be American Indian, Alas
kan Native, Black American, Mexican
American or Puerto Rican.
The new program includes predoc
toral and dissertation fellowships. The
foundation will award 40 predoctoral
fellowships, granting . $10,000 to the

public health and social work.
Michele Fletcher, development
officer for the Carolina Fund, said the
$ 19 million was less than last year's total
amount for charitable gifts, but it
compared to other good years.
Most of the gifts, she said, came from
UNC alumni, foundations, corpora
tions and people who liked certain UNC
programs.
Evans said the gifts had no real effect
on student tuition, but the money "adds
a degree of quality that doesn come
from tuition alone."
"I think people support the University
because they see it as a quality insti
tution," he said. "The University draws
money because it's good. People give
it because they want to be part of it."
Other Universtiy affiliates receiving
gifts included the Ackland Art
Museum, the N.C. Botanical Garden,
the Educational Foundation Inc.,
Friends of the Library, the UNC
Medical Foundation, the Nursing
Foundation, the UNC Press, WUNC
FM and the UNC-CH Foundation.
Fellow and $6,000 to the institution
annually for three years. Ten disserta
tion fellowship recipients will receive
$18,000 for one year of work.
The National Research Council will
choose Fellows with superior academic
records. It also will consider an appli
cant's proposed plan of study and letters
of recommendation. Applications for
the predoctoral fellowships must
include GRE General Test scores.
The number of fellowships granted
in each area will depend on "academic
pressure," O'Brien says. "If we get a
large number of literature applications,
proportionally, a larger number of
literature fellowships will be granted."
For five years, the Ford Foundation '
also has offered post-doctoral fellow
ships to minorities. "The Ford Foun
dation wants to support people at the
beginning of their careers," O'Brien

From wire reports
LANCASHIRE, England - A bus
crash 200 miles north of London
triggered Britain's worst highway
accident ever Monday, causing an
11 -vehicle pileup that left 13 people
dead.
Bystanders witnessed most of the
45 people on the bus climb through
the emergency exit after it jumped
atop two cars as fuel tanks exploded,
causing the bus to burst into flames.
Police officials said three adults
from the bus died, and 10 other
people, including four children, were
killed in the accident..
Authorities believe the bus driver
had been temporarily blinded by the
sunshine while driving. ," ;y.
Peres willing to go to Jordan
UNITED NATIONS - While
addressing the General Assembly,
Israel's Prime Minister Shimon
Peres said he wanted to travel to
Jordan and participate in the Middle
East peace conference at the end of
this year.
Peres said he wanted the state-of-war

says.
Several UNC faculty members have
received these post-doctoral fellow
ships. In 1984, a fellowship enabled Dr.
Slayton Evans, professor in the chem
istry department, to conduct research
for one year at the University of Paul
Subatier in Toulouse, France.
"We (Evans and his French col
leagues) reached a level of success that
we were happy with," Evans says. "It
would not have been possible without
a major contribution from the Ford
Foundation."
The fellowship also helped him foster
professional contacts, he says.
Dr. Darnell Hawkins, associate
professor in the department of sociol
ogy, received a post-doctoral fellowship
in 1982. At Duke University, he began
a historical study of the N.C. prison
system.

Assassin commits suicide
SAN FRANSISCO - The suicide
of Dan White, convicted assassin of
Mayor George Moscone and gay
activist Harvey Milk, was said by
members in the gay community as
a perfect ending to a bad story.
Mayor Dianne Feinstein said "this
latest tragedy should close a very sad
chapter in this city's history."
White, 39, a Vietnam veteran, ex
policeman, ex-fireman, ex-city super
visor and father of three, died when
he sat in a car and inhaled exhaust
fumes pumped from the tailpipe
through a garden hose Monday,
police officials said.
"Fellowships give you time off from
teaching," Hawkins says. "You can do
minimal research when you are teach
ing." Hawkins still is conducting his
study.
The application deadline for the
predoctoral and dissertation fellowships
is Nov. 15, 1985. Applications are
available from The Fellowship Office,
