Callers Mm. Sim .aliMii pledges Dy LIZ SAYLOR Staff Writer Every night, a group of 25 to 30 paid students call alumni, parents and friends of the University for monetary contri butions to various University programs. Some of the more recent solicitations were for library acquisitions and professorships as well as contributions to departments and professional schools. So far this year, the Carolina S'"dent Fund has raised more than $ 1 50 million, said Carl Oulton, Phonathon director. "We are different from the Educa tional Foundation (Rams' Club) and the General Alumni Association," said Scott Wierman, development officer. "They are membership-supported organizations." The Carolina Fund raises money from a wide variety of programs, including the Chancellor's Club, a group of Carolina's top donors - friends and alumni - who give at least $10,000 each. The Carolina Student Fund is also operated out of the Development office, Wierman said, which gives fund-raising ideas for for campus organizations. Barbara Habel, parent and student programs director, heads the Carolina Student Fund and two programs established this year. One is the Carolina Parents Associ ation, which publishes a quarterly newsletter for parents of undergradu ates, sponsors programs including Parents' Football Day and Parents' Weekend April 11-13. The second is the Morehead Alumni Fund, started by a group of former Morehead scholars who wanted to do something for the University in return for all it had done for them, Habel said.

So far they have raised $250,000 and hope to reach $500,000. Donors write a check to the Univer sity or the Carolina Fund, designating into which fund the money should be put. For example, Wierman said, if a Dental School alumnus wants to give to his school, he would say so on the check. "We try to have a good feel for what the person's capable of (giving)," Habel said. "We have several people who do research in the office. "Generally, it's a hit-or-miss thing, looking at things like occupations and family names," Habel said. "It's not like we look up their IRS form. A lot of the solicitations are done by their fellow classmates." Oulton said probably one out of every 5,000 people they called would complain. "The alumni have gone here four years," Oulton said. "They like to hear from a student at Carolina." Habel said they collected their own data for the parents fund, and in some cases they had double information on a person, so that person was called more than once. "They generally understood," Habel said. "Also, parents who are alumni get called twice, often." f ave The student callers go through a six hour training session and get a script that sets a pattern for negotiating the amount a person can give. They call from the basement of Hanes Hall at least two sessions a week: Sunday through Thursday nights 6:30 to 10 p.m., and sometimes Saturday and Sunday afternoons. "The primary reason people give is to try to put more money in academic programs to increase the University's reputation," Oulton said. "More than 50 percent of the University's funds come from sources other than tuition or fees. A great portion comes from private donations." Oulton said corporations such as Texaco will come onto campus and evaluate how much money to give to the University based on alumni contri butions. If the alumni support the school, Oulton said, it shows the big corporations that UNC is a good investment. "The caller has two responsibilities," Oulton said. "One is to raise money. The other is to represent the University. If a person doesn't want to give because they have a problem with the Univer sity, we talk to them and get them in contact with someone who can help them."
