Paul Hardin, president of Drew University in Madison, N.J., is expected to be recommended by UNC-system President CD. Spangler and approved as UNC's new chancellor by the Board of Governors today. Hardin, a Charlotte native and Duke graduate, is a former president of Southern Methodist University. Brian Bailey, former student body president and a member of the Chancellor Search Committee, said Hardin will be a good choice if he is recommended. "His experience and previous positions make him qualified for the chancellorship here," Bailey said. Hardin has experience working at large and small universities, has strong North Carolina ties and has done a lot of work w ith intercollegiate athletics, Bailey said. This experience will be an advantage at UNC, he said. It is important for students to make an effort to communicate with the new chancellor, Bailey said. "No chancellor is going to respond to students if students don't make the effort," he said. "I think he (Hardin) is the kind who will be available if students make an effort." Student leaders must start com municating with the chancellor and setting an agenda when he takes office July 1, so he can become involved with students from the beginning, Bailey said. Student Body President Kevin Martin said he is looking forward to working with the chancellor. "We have an opportunity to set the tone," Martin said. Martin also said he would extend the relationship with the chancellor to other student leaders through the new Student Advisory Committee. The committee will consist of student leaders and will meet regularly with the chancellor, Martin said. Student Congress Speaker Neil Riemann also said student govern ment must work from the beginning with the chancellor. "Regardless of what image the chancellor had of student government before, we have the chance to start a new, positive image," Riemann said. Audrey Vanden Heuvel, Graduate and Professional Student Association president, said graduate students are looking forward to working with a new chancellor. "We're excited that the position is being filled soon so we can work on graduate and professional concerns," she said. "There are thousands of us, and we don't get much recognition." The chancellor should continue to emphasize the importance of research at UNC because it is extremely important in the training of graduate students, Vanden Heuvel said. Otftfidals support caM for moire adrnfeioims staff By LYNN AINSWORTH Staff Writer University officials said Thursday they support a Student Congress resolution calling for expansion of the admissions office staff, but they don't know how effective it will be. Budget constraints prohibit the admissions office from hiring addi tional staff members until a new budget is prepared, said Harold Wallace, vice chancellor of University Affairs. The Student Congress passed the resolution, recommending that the Office of Undergraduate Admissions hire six new staff members to deal with the increased flow of applica tions the office receives, at its meeting Wednesday. The resolution calls for the Uni versity to hire one receptionist, one coordinator of special projects, two application processors and two appli cation readers. Gene Davis (Dist. 18), the resolu tion's sponsor, said the dramatic increase in the number of freshman applications over the past five years made the staff increase necessary. UNC received 10,261 applications in 1983 and expects to receive more than 20,000 this year, said Anthony Strickland, assistant director of undergraduate admissions. The admissions staff has not grown during this period, Strickland said, and it is unlikely that the University w ill hire additional staff members this year! See ADMISSIONS page 3 rpp VAf J 'i N ' .

Campus -groups, University disagree 00 divesttmeot By BARBARA LINN Staff Writer Following the UNC Endowment Board's announcement in October that UNC would divest all holdings in South Africa, University officials said divestment is complete. But members of two campus anti apartheid groups said Thursday that the University has not completely divested. UNC uses the guidelines for com plete divestment set by the Investor Response Research Center (IRRC), while most apartheid groups and the United Nations follow the criteria set by the American Committee on Africa. "The University shouldn't claim to be totally divested as long as they are not following the American Commit tee on Africa's guidelines," said Cindy Hahamovitch, a member of the Anti Apartheid Support Group. Dale McKinley, Action Against Apartheid member, said the differ ence in divestment criteria between IRRC and the American Committee on Africa hinges on license and franchise agreements. "IRRC does not include companies that are in Namibia, or those that sell their products through licensing and fran chising agreements," he said. Hahamovitch said the AASG is pleased that the University had divested some of its funds. "But to be totally divested is to have no investments in South Africa or Na mibia," she said. Wayne Jones, associate vice chan cellor of finance, said the University announced on Oct. 1, 1987, that it would divest from all companies doing business in South Africa. By Oct. 31, Jones said, UNC had com pletely divested more than $4 million. The University divested only from companies doing direct business in South Africa, Jones said. "We haven't attempted to indentify those other companies doing indirect business. The (October) motion was to divest from those companies doing direct business in South Africa," he said. "It is impractical to define and then divest from those other companies. It is hard to determine what is indirect involvement." But McKinley disagreed. "It is very simple," he said. "Their products are still being produced and sold there." The AAA has recently compiled a list of those companies still doing See DIVESTMENT page 4 Announcer Durham stays true blue By R.L. INGLE Staff Writer He can watch ACC basketball with the impartial eye of a broad cast journalist. He can fire off the strengths and weaknesses of any ACC team with a glance at the team's lineup for the night. But when it comes to personal loyalty, Woody Durham is Mr. Carolina. Durham, known as "The Voice of the Tar Heels," has announced UNC basketball and football games over the airwaves for more than 17 years. He takes his job as a representative of UNC to the people of North Carolina seriously, he said in a recent interview. "To many people across the state, association with the Univer sity is through its athletic teams," Durham, a 1963 UNC graduate, said in his blue-walled office at the Village Companies in Chapel Hill. "When they see anything about Carolina, like it being rated in the top 10 universities in the country, they take a lot of pride in that because they have been Carolina fans Carolina has been sort of their adopted school.

"Simon will maintain himself as a candidate but will not campaign actively, so he can hold onto his delegates until the convention," said Gary Galanis, spokesman for the Illinois senator. Mass. Gov. Dukakis lengthened his lead with wins in the Colorado and Wisconsin primaries, but officials with the Rev. Jackson's campaign are predicting a win in New York's April 19 primary to make Jackson the front-runner. "There is a good Jackson base in New York, and we expect to win," said Bruce Lightener, Jackson's N.C. campaign manager. But Dukakis will also be concen trating on New York, aides said. "It is in the Northeast, which will help a little bit, but New York is such a melting pot that it is not really geographically an advantage," Duka kis spokesman Dave Levy said. At stake in New York are 275 delegates, 255 of which will be committed April 19. Jackson ran second in the Wiscon sin and Colorado primaries this week, trailed by Tenn. Sen. Albert Gore and Simon. "Those states did not have a traditionally strong Jackson base, and we are pleased with the results," Lightener said. But high expectations led to dis appointment with the returns, said Frank Watkins, Jackson's national political director. "In another context, the results would have seemed spectacular," he See SIMON page 6 Rain postpones march The "Take Back the Night" march, Women's Forum to raise community originally scheduled for Thursday awareness of rape and sexual assault, night, was postponed due to rain.
