director of the federation, had in
1982.
The North Carolina Coastal
Federation is an organization that
tries to make certain that man-made
changes are compatible with the
environment," said Charles Jenner,
UNC professor of biology and
board member of the NCCF.
The federation has been effective
in their well-publicized efforts in
blocking the construction of 540
condominiums on Permuda Island
in Stump Sound. The condomini
ums would have closed the sound to
shellfishing, a source of income for
families in the area.
Lena Ritter, the president of the
NCCF and a fisher by trade, led
efforts to stop all construction and
the property was eventually sold to
the state.

Faculty leave -.policy
By RHETA LOGAN
Staff Writer
UNC students may have larger ,
class sizes and fewer course sections
in exchange for better-educated
professors, due to a new faculty study
and research leave policy, Provost
Dennis O'Connor said Wednesday.
The Faculty Council created the
policy in November 1988 as a solution
to the University's lack of a sabbatical
program, a guaranteed leave every
seven years. Since salaries and bene
fits are lower at UNC than at other
institutions, the policy has been
implemented with the hope that it will
help to recruit more teachers and to
retain the existing faculty.
The policy allows one professor
from each school and department to
take a paid study leave when possible.
Each academic department and
school will be responsible for setting
up a program to grant the leaves.
Certain courses may need to be
shifted to accommodate the study
leaves of professors, O'Connor said.
action groups is another function of
the federation. In a letter to the
NCCF concerning the endanger
ment of a maritime forest, Carol
Anderson, president of The Friends
of Hatteras Island, wrote, "For
someone who is not familiar with
the permit process, the system can
be confusing the Coastal Federa
tion guided us toward the most
effective action."
Phil Campbell, owner of The Fly
ing Burrito and member of the
NCCF, came up with the idea for a
benefit brunch. Ritter will host the
brunch, which will last from 1 1 a.m.
to 1 p.m.
The cost is $5 for adults and $2
for children. The restaurant will
serve Mexican and American break
fasts. Anyone interested in becoming
a member or helping to preserve the
Carolina coast is welcome.
Tickets for the brunch can be pur
chased in advance by sending a
check to NCCF, Rt. 1, Box 191-B,
Durham 27705, or by calling the
federation at 929-6460.
to begin
first-serve basis the next day.
Tickets are non-transferable and
cannot be picked up until the student
arrives in Atlanta for the tournament,
said Morgan Johnson, CAA ticket
chairwoman.
Transportation and hotel accom
modations are the responsibility of
the winners, not the CAA or the
University, she said.
Students whose numbers are not
drawn may still have the opportunity
to purchase tickets after the winners'
and alternate winners' purchasing
period is over, Worley said.
"People should not lose hope just
because their number was not called
in the drawing," said Johnson. "Many
winners will not buy tickets because
the tournament is the same weekend
as Spring Break and Atlanta is fairly
far away."

Courses taught in the fall, for exam

With professors on study leave,
fewer will be available to teach
courses, O'Connor said, so the size
of certain classes may be increased.
If this happens, there will be a
problem with limited space in smaller
classrooms like those in Dey Hall, he
said.
O'Connor said he hoped there
won't be a problem with students not

Funding for a multicultural center

Sisson said.
The candidates also addressed
minority recruitment and retention
on campus.
Lewis said he felt maintaining and
improving the quality of education
at UNC is an important issue.
Offering support to minority stu
dents through a buddy system is
another possibility that .would
encourage blacks to come to "UNC
and improve retention, but more
should be done, Lewis said.

she said.

Despite the difficulties that may be
caused by the leave policy, O'Connor
said the policy is not intended to
disrupt class offerings but to enhance
them.
"There's no question that it will
enrich the research and classroom
environments," he said. "This is a
calculated investment in the future of
the campus."
Faculty in some smaller academic
departments, like the School of
Information and Library Science,
said. "The hands of the student body
president are not white hands or black
hands," Loughran said. "They are the
hands of the whole student body."
Sisson said retention of black
students is a major issue on campus.
To promote retention, more financial
aid and minority scholarships should
be offered to students, he said.
Minority advisors also need to be
maintained, Sisson said. Another
possible support for minority stu
dents is implementing a big buddy
program between senior minority
students and freshmen, he said.
Each candidate also discussed
issues in their individual platforms.
Lewis said the required $100 meal
plan for students should be elimi
nated. Parking is another issue he will
focus on if elected, he said. ,

Recreation Center in concern for
future students at UNC, she said.
Students need to be aware of the
broad responsibilities of the CAA and
should get involved, enabling the
CAA to reflect the interests of
minorities and all students, she said.
Sharon Kebschull, candidate for
DTH editor, said she would work
with minority, students to increase
DTH coverage of minority events and
would add more minority writers to
the DTH staff.
Kebschull said she hopes to add
more specialized sections to the
paper, like the present focus and
business sections. She said that to
increase minority involvement in the
paper, students could contribute to
these sections with articles and ideas
concerning minority issues.
Also, she said she would try to omit
from page 1
abortion rights in the 1990s.
The bill spurred much debate from
congress members, but Rep. Donnie
Esposito (Dist. 12) said the abortion
issue is one that concerns the whole
campus and deserves to be addressed
in an academic environment.
Congress also allocated $1,500 to
buy new communications equipment
for the Student Patrol that will boost
radio transmissions to allow student
patrollers to increase their broadcast
range.

Loughran said one of his main
goals is to be a visible and accessible!
student body president. The student'
body president should meet with'
student leaders, different student,
groups and different fraternities and'
sororities for input, he said.
The student body president's job'
is to represent the whole student'
body, he said. The student body'
president has to know the general'
atmosphere on campus, Loughran,
said. (
Sisson said one of his goals as,'
student body president is to give
students a greater voice in student,

Liz Jackson and David Smith were,
the candidates for RHA president at,
the forum. Both addressed the issue
of low minority involvement in RHA
and residence hall government. ,
"We need to be more attractive, ti
them," Jackson said. She said the;

affairs should work more closely wit,h,
the BSM to increase minority
involvement in the organization
"The executive assistant for minority
affairs is not as effective as it could
be," she said. "Through working witn
that (BSM), the executive assistant
will have a better idea of their
concerns."
Smith said he ' agreed that the
minority affairs executive assistant
position needs to be expanded. He
said increased residence hall cultural
programming, especially on South'
Campus, could help RHA become
more accesible to minorities. (
"Each lieutenant governor shoull
sponsor at least one cultural event per
semester," he said. "Each dorm
should have one special event to leV
minority students see RHA is more'
accessible to them."
