As Chancellor Paul Hardin takes
office and lays the groundwork for
his position, campus leaders say there
are many important issues facing him.
Other than the installation of
Hardin on University Day, Oct. 12,
no ceremonies or orientation activ
ities have been scheduled for the new
chancellor.
Student Body President Kevin
Martin met with Hardin last week to
discuss the structure of student
government during a walk around
campus.
"To have a good working relation
ship, you must have a good personal
relationship (with Hardin)," Martin
said.
Among the important issues facing
Hardin, Martin said, are a needed
balance in the priorities of research
and undergraduate education and in
athletic excellence and academic
integrity. He also said he was con
cerned about the method of selection
used for student advisory committees
to the chancellor. The student body
president presents a list of students
for the chancellor to choose from
under the current system, but Martin
said he would like the student body
president to make the appointments
directly.
Before Hardin arrived, Martin and
other student leaders discussed how
to be an effective, consolidated voice,
Martin said. The group considered
setting up a student advisory com
mittee meeting with Hardin once a
month where they would discuss
general issues.
"At the top of my list, I think it
is important for the chancellor to deal
with the allowing of groups like the
CIA to recruit on campus and to deal
with full divestiture of the University
Seoioirs to food 'stair professorships'
By SHARON KEBSCHULL

In an attempt to beat the national
fund-raising record set by last year's
senior class, the Class of 1989 will
seek matching donations from private
sources to fund "star professorships,"
class members decided Tuesday.
At a meeting to decide on the
funding and type of intangible gift,
the five seniors present decided to go
ahead with plans to write proposals
to businesses and other sources to
request matching funds for money the
class can get from the N.C. General
Assembly to create the positions.
The legislature will match 2-to-l
any organization raising money for
professorships, said class president
Steve Tepper. The senior class is
hoping to have six star professorships
established by the bicentennial of the
University, he said.
"The whole point of this is to put
bait on the line" to attract professors
from outside UNC, Tepper said.
Normally, supplements to salaries
from private funds go to professors
within the University, he said.
There are two such professorships
at the University now, Allen Eidson,
gift committee co-chairman, said, but
students have never created the
positions themselves.
The class has set a fund-raising goal
of $580,000 with $300,000 of that
coming from students. That goal is
$318,000 more than the record the
Class of 1988 set. The professorships
would take $500,000 of that, and the
remaining $80,000 will go to a
physical gift that will be decided in
the fall.
Abouj 42 percent of the 1988 class
pledged the $188 requested, and
about 33 percent pledged at least
some portion of that.
That was a record that can't be
topped significantly without private
donations, Tepper said.
"We're looking to beat (the record),
not as an ego trip necessarily, but just
as a way we could add to it and do
a better job," said Eidson. "This is
something that'll be here forever that
we're a part of."
The goal for 1989 will be $200 per
student, which is $1 per year for each
year of the University, he said,
payable over five years. The class is
hoping for a 45 percent participation
rate from students, which would net
$300,000, Eidson said. If the class gets
a 50 percent participation rate, it will
have enough money for a $100,000
gift, he said.
"We really want to set a precedent
here," Tepper said. "If students show
the initiative, it's so much easier for
them (administration) to get alumni
to go along."
from South Africa," said Dale
McKinley, a student activist and
member of the CIA Action Commit
tee. "On a more broad-based level,
I and others would like to meet with
him to discuss racial issues on
campus.
"Basically, it boils down to student
power and student input, whether
students have a say or are heard,"
he said.
Residence Hall Association Pres
ident Jimmy Randolph said he plans
to meet with Hardin to inform him
about RHA and make himself avail
able as a student government leader.
It's important to establish good
channels of communication, he said,
but added, "I guess we are all in the
dark right now, until we get to know
him."
"I feel a much greater emphasis is
needed on quality education, and I
would like to see Hardin do some
thing about that," said Fifi Kashani
Sabet, co-president of the Campus Y.
"I hope that Hardin will be receptive
to student reaction to campus issues
and world issues. He could set a
precedent."
"The first month, he needs to learn
who we are, the lay of the land. He
needs to be made aware of concerns,"
said Donald Boulton, dean of student
affairs.
