6The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, October 12, 1983 Nymbeir of University orsamilzatloin) dowji from 987 By JAMES BENTON Staff Writer " The number of officially recog nized student organizations has dropped from 270 last year to 184 as of Monday because some groups have just "disappeared," according to University officials. The number is lower this year because "some won't be recognized again. They've lived their life," said Carol Binzer of the Office of Lead ership Development. Also, some groups were not rec ognized because their applications Were incomplete, and others did not reapply, Binzer said. The complete list is being compiled and will be available next week, she said, j Groups and organizations at UNC are officially recognized through Sept. 30 of every year and must file for official recognition from the yniversity by completing an application. Housing New groups filing for recognition must supply a constitution and statement of purpose with the appli cation, she said. The organization must have an adviser who is either a faculty member or a full-time staff member, and its officers must be full time students, she said. Binzer said groups at UNC must file for official recognition each year because officially-recognized groups receive benefits, like permission to use the name of the University, permis sion to rent space in the Carolina Union and funding from the Student Congress. Applying for recognition is a process that "has been going on for some time," Binzer said. The process has been handled by the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of Leadership Development for the past four years, she said. The large number of activities from page 1 sponsored by campus groups like the Campus Y and the Carolina Union created a need for a central base all groups could work from, she said. The Division of Student Affairs provides the base while the Office of Leadership Development provides resources such as workshops and conferences for all student groups, Binzer said. The office also contacts groups when events that correspond to the group's interests take place, she said. The contacts generate little response from the groups. "We don't usually get a lot of responses three, maybe five," Binzer said. But reaction to the events is positive, especially among those who do not have a large number of time constraints, she said. The office plans to work on increasing groups' involvement in leadership programs and helping groups emphasize their collective goals and purposes, Binzer said. "Organizations are losing sight of what needs to be done, and some times the leaders will go off on tangents to work for their own goals," she said. Binzer said the development of an index of student groups is being completed. The index is a database which will list all student groups alphabetically. The base is also designed to list group presidents, telephone numbers and advisers, she said. The database will be printed and another copy will be produced on a computer disk. Both will be available to students, she said. Binzer said the database is the number one priority for the office and that a partial listing should be Officials say high ran kin g well completed by next month. "We want to have some semblance of a setup of the listings j" she said. If the database is successful after a trial run, it may be placed on the Info information network, she said. The success of the database could help increase the activity of student groups because more people would know how to get involved in groups and take part in the seminars and workshops sponsored by the office. "This could increase involvement in organizations, which could then call for more leaders," Binzer said. lelp UNC The housing situation in the Chapel Hill area is growing increas ingly worse, he said. '. "The housing problems in this area 'are making it difficult for town employees such as police officers and 'firefighters to find adequate housing within the town," Barrett said. -.. The housing crunch is having an effect on the University also, by jhaking it increasingly difficult for .professors and off-campus students to find housing, he said. Members of the partnership expect to participate in many projects jointly with Triangle cities and feel the cities will supply encouragement for the program's efforts, he said. "I'm really excited about this opportunity to have a positive influ ence on an evident need, and we hope that we can produce results which will show that our efforts have made a difference," he said. Don't miss the arts news in Thursday's Omnibus By BRENDA CAMPBELL Staff Writer The annual U.S. News and World Report survey on "America's Best Colleges," which ranked UNC 23rd overall, will make UNC more iden tifiable to the general public, Univer sity officials said Tuesday. The survey ranked UNC third among public universities. The Uni versity of Virginia and the University of California at Los Angeles were the two public universities that ranked higher. In recent years the survey has helped increase the number and quality of the applications received by the University, administrators said. "Since the survey was started we have always been in the ranking," said Richard Cashwell, director of under graduate admissions. "These rank ings have contributed to the increase of applications. In 1984 we received 10,000 applications and this past year ,we received 17,500. "The quality of the applications has also increased," he said. "With the increase of applications we have more to choose from." Since 1984, when UNC was first listed in the survey, competition with Ivy League schools has increased. "From the applications we enroll students with significant caliber that could go anywhere. We are compet itive with other schools in the survey," Cashwell said. "We always want to enroll the best students possible." The quality of the faculty was also conr idered in the survey. A high ranking does not help recruit faculty, but it helps to improve the perceptions of the current faculty, said Gillian Cell, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "I certainly think that they (rank ings) help unconsciously," Cell said. "But I don't think they are directly responsible for decisions made by the faculty. "We try not to put too much emphasis on these rankings because the criteria to reach these rankings changes every year," she said. The survey also helps to confirm the feelings of students who have graduated from UNC about the quality and academic excellence of the University. ' "The ranking helps to reinforce what the Carolina alumni have always believed, and that is that this is a superb university," said Douglas Dibbert, director of Alumni Affairs. "The fact that we ranked third is not a surprise, but a reassurance of how we compare to other national ray aa . f sX x J AC 4 Sale Starts Sunday, October 9th.

Carolina alumni already contribute greatly to the University and the new ranking will help continue this support, Dibbert said. "There is an overall excitement from the Carolina alumni because of the many changes at the University," he said. "But it is always helpful to see where we stand." The people of North Carolina will take the ranking very seriously because the University is a state supported school, Dibbert said. "The most important thing is that it tells the people of North Carolina that we are serving them well," he said. "This type of relation between the people and students of North Carolina is one that most national surveys will not focus on." Former UNC students have found that the rankings help identify the school's academic excellence in professional circles, Cell said. "All over the nation this University has a fine reputation and the ranking is a part of that," she said. "It is regarded very highly to have a degree from this University." , V ri. ik DOUBLE COUPON SAVINGS On Manufacturer's Cents-Off Coupons ... Up to 50 See Store For Details!
