yflfom) affirms decosooira
to make Teasue coed

After a series of meetings resulting .
in a two-hour session with housing
officials and student leaders Tuesday,
Dean of Student Affairs Donald
Boulton announced Tuesday night he
would not overturn the decision of
the housing department to change
Teague Residence Hall to a coedu
cational dormitory.
"I have reached the decision to
support the recommendations of the
housing staff and at this point in time
want to move forward to the coed
option for this year," Boulton said.
There was no single overriding
reason for his support, Boulton said.
He said he took all options for the
dormitory into account and consi
dered how far along housing officials
were in making residence hall
assignments.
Without Teague as an all-male
dormitory, 26 percent of the residence
halls on campus will be all-female and
. 9 percent wUl be all-male. If Teague
stayed all-male, 12 percent of the
residence halls would be all-male
Teague reactions
because Teague holds twice the
number of other North Campus male
dormitories.
The decision goes into effect this
fall. Plans are not finalized on how
to arrange the three-story dormitory
for both men and women, Boulton
said.
Assignments have been made for
all other dormitories on campus, said
Collin Rustin, associate director of
housing. . There are 450 remaining
unassigned freshmen, including 200
on waiting lists and 100 who did not
respond until after the cutoff date to
turn in housing applications, he said.
Boulton said he expects a lot of
reaction to his decision, but added,
"We have to at least get our act
together and move ahead."
The housing department made the
decision to go coed after a series of
problems with the dormitory for the
past four years that culminated at an
unauthorized party on the last day
of classes in April, said housing
director Wayne Kuncl.
After an alleged racial incident at
the party, Scott Residence College
Area Director Iris Hunt was harassed
racially and sexually over the phone
and at her apartment in Whitehead
Residence Hall. Although those
responsible for the harassment were
not caught, Hunt said she spotted
some of the men outside her window.
The men were wearing Teague T
shirts, she said.
After the party, students in the
Scott Residence College area govern
ment were asked to find those
responsible for the incidents. When
they were unable to do so, the housing
department began discussing options
for the dormitory. Kuncl brought
Residence Hall Association President
Jimmy Randolph and Student Body
President Kevin Martin into the
process two weeks ago to show them
the letter the housing department was
sending to the 72 Teague residents
who were to be readmitted to the
dormitory this fall.
The letter informed the residents

Committee to decide before July
on new Smith Center director
By DAWN GIBSON
Staff Writer
The committee to name a new
director of the Dean E. Smith Center
is expected to make its selection
before July 1, said Athletic Director
John Swofford Tuesday night.
The selection committee is now
evaluating the interviews of five
candidates and plans to make its
decision by the beginning of the fiscal
year, he said. "We hope to be coming
to some conclusion in the near
future," Swofford said.
Associate Athletic Director
Richard Baddour, in a previous
interview with The Daily Tar Heel,
said the position was advertised
immediately after Steve Camp, the
former Smith Center director,
resigned in March to become director
of the Charlotte Coliseum. Baddour
also said the committee would make
its final choice by the end of April.
Swofford said the final interview
was last week, and he was still
receiving feedback on the interviews
from the committee.
"More important than timing, we
want to be sure that we're bringing
in the right person," he said.
Swofford would not comment
during Tuesday's interview on the
names of the candidates, although
The (Raleigh) News and Observer
recently listed two possible candidates
John Graham, assistant director
of the Assembly Hall at the University
of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and
Jeff Elliott, director of the Assembly
Center at Louisiana State University
in Baton Rouge.
The committee prefers someone
with college experience, but doesn't
consider it mandatory, Swofford
said. "Steve Camp had not worked
on a college campus, and we feel that
he did a good job."
Representatives from different
areas of the University and members
of the athletics department make up
the selection committee, Swofford
said. There are no students on the
committee, but there has been dis
cussion with some students on cam
pus, he added.
The main concern from those
students and others is that the new-

ohnny T-Shirt, U NC headed for coo rt in f all

A September trial for a lawsuit and
countersuit involving the UNC Board
of Governors and Johnny T-Shirt
appears inevitable after unsuccessful
attempts to settle out of court, said
Chuck Helpingstine, co-owner of
Johnny T-Shirt.
"My attorney told me a month or
two ago that it could be September
before this case goes to trial," he said.
"But we don't want to go to trial
because then we're talking big bucks."
In July 1987, the BOG filed suit
against the owners of Johnny T-Shirt
for trademark infringement using
registered trademarks without paying
licensing fees.
The suit said Johnny T-Shirt
sewed, heat transferred and silk
screened the UNC letters, the Tar
Heel foot design, the University seal
design and the words "University of
North Carolina" onto shorts and
shirts.
"Most of our goods we buy come
from (manufacturers) who are
licensed with the University," Help
ingstine said. "But we also manufac
ture and retail some of our own stuff
with our silk-screening business and
by sewing UNC letters on shirts and
things.
"I was aware of the licensing
process from the very beginning, but
we don't really print that much that's
not licensed."
According to David Bennett, an
attorney for Helpingstine, 90 percent
of the goods Johnny T-Shirt sells
comes from licensed manufacturers
but 10 percent the shorts and shirts
are made by Johnny T-Shirt and
not licensed with the University.
"I told (the University) that I didnt
think that they had the right to collect
licensing fees on anything," Helping
stine said.
In its suit filed last July, the
University claimed it suffered "irrep
arable damage" in excess of $500,000
from licensing fees that should have
been paid for the last four years.
