Students, faculty and staff
contested recommendations made
by the chancellor's ad hoc com
mittee on parking at a forum
Friday, including one that would
require students to pay $2 to park
on campus at night.
The forum, held in Old Clinic
Auditorium, allowed about 85
. students, faculty and staff to voice
their opinions on the draft of the
. chancellor's ad hoc committee's
parking proposal.
I The committee will consider the
: suggestions made at the forum
' before drafting a final proposal to
present to Chancellor Paul Har
din, who attended the forum, said
Gene Swecker, associate vice
chancellor for facilities
. management.
Dennis O'Connor, University
provost; Wayne Jones, acting vice
chancellor of business and finance;
and Garland Hershey, vice chan
cellor of health affairs, all
members of the ad hoc committee,
also attended the forum.
The committee recommended
that students be allotted 350 fewer
. parking spaces in 1989-1990, and
that student government assign the
student spaces.
The committee also recom
mended a $2 charge for parking
on campus after 5 p.m. Faculty
. and staff members with parking
. permits would be allowed to park
for free.
Swecker, who conducted the
. forum, explained the committee's
. recommendations. "These are still
draft recommendations," he said.

investigation, but rather it will be an
arm of the commission, Poole said.
"They (SBI) work for the commis
sion. They report to us. They do not
make any judgmental decisions," he
said.
The first press accounts of "Per
sonal Fouls," a book by Peter
Golenbock alleging improprieties in
the NCSU basketball program,
appeared on Jan. 7 and were followed
by NCSU Chancellor Bruce Poul

NCSU investigation, Spangler said.
When the allegations continued,
Spangler appointed the special com
mission to investigate, he said.

board remembered Albert Coates,

Department of University Housing is
the greatest hindrance RH A has had,
Smith said. "RHA could have done
a lot more if we did not have to deal
with so many problems that weVe
had with the department of housing."
To improve communication,
Smith said he would work to put the
RHA president on the central staff
of the housing department. In his

President Kevin Martin, said the
$2 evening parking charge woufd
be unfair to students who wish to
drive to the library at night, he
said.
"I don't have a car," he said.
"I never have. In fact, I don't even
have a driver's license. . . . But
there's no way that people should
have to pay to use resources they
should have free access to."
Randy Brown, a graduate stu
dent in computer science, sug
gested the sale of an evening
parking permit to graduate stu
dents who must use labs on a
nightly basis.
Students cannot afford to lose
350 parking spaces because they
have a definite need for them,
Lewis said.
"Our life is not simply living in
dorms and going to classes," he
said. "There's a whole world out
there. We have jobs and we need
cars. Just because we're students
we shouldn't be denied spaces."
North Carolina Memorial Hos
pital has far too little parking, said
Bobby McFarling, plant mainte
nance supervisor. "It's a terrible
mistake for the hospital to get so
large with so little parking," he
said.
The lack of parking spaces
creates a problem for workers on
24-hour call, and many potential
employees are discouraged
because they are not able to buy
a parking permit, McFarling said.
"We need a little more consid
eration as employees than we have
been given to this point," he said.
Students need to be included
more in the University's planning
processes, said junior Trey Lough

Candidates for student body pres
ident, Carolina Athletic Association
(CAA) president and Daily Tar Heel
(DTH) editor appeared at a Resi
dence Hall Association-sponsored
forum in Cobb Residence Hall
Sunday night.
Trey Loughran, Kevin Sisson,
Brien Lewis and Rod Bell were the
candidates for student body president
who appeared at the forum. They
addressed the issue of safety on
campus.
Bell said safety measures on cam
pus should be increased. "A South
Campus escort system is crucial," he
said. He also said that if he was
elected president, he would get about
10 people to walk across campus for
a few consecutive nights to locate the
most dangerous areas on campus.
Student government could then
examine these areas and work to
make them safer, he said.
Bell said he does not support
placing lights in the Arboretum,
because the lights would not eliminate

The executive board of the Black
Student Movement (BSM)
announced Sunday that it would
endorse Brien Lewis for student body
president, Sharon Kebschull for
Daily Tar Heel editor and Lisa Frye
for Carolina Athletic Association
(CAA) president.
BSM officials decided not to
endorse a candidate for Residence
Hall Association president because of
a lack of information about the
candidates, BSM President Kenneth
Perry said.
Lewis was the BSM's choice for
student body president because he is
well organized, has experience and
has shown a lot of commitment to
campus issues, Perry said.

Open communication would
develop a trust between RHA and
housing, Jackson said. "There's a
trust that develops, that each area's
not afraid to tell the other one what's
going on," she said.
Smith said better recruitment for
residence hall government would help
strengthen RHA, but RHA could
gain more respect by expanding into
more areas of student life.

the dark shadows and people would
falsely believe they would be safe..
Loughran said that not putting
lights in the Arboretum because of
fear of shadows is a "cop-out." He
said the problem could be solved by
placing flood lights in the trees so the
shadows would be eliminated.
He also said lights should be
mandatory in the Arboretum regard
less of dark shadows because inci
dents have occurred along the side
walk beside the Arboretum.
Sisson said areas around South
Campus, like the Morrison path and
areas around Ehringhaus, need better
lighting. "Lighting would be a great
improvement," he said.
He also said the SAFE Escort
service should serve the South Cam
pus area more efficiently. Expanding
these types of patrols is the key to
safety on campus, he said.
Sisson has said as part of his
platform that he would like to see

"He had a lot of ideas of his own,"
he said. "He seemed real sound about
them."
Lewis' support for the proposed
Black Cultural Center (BCC)and for
establishing closer relations between
the BSM and other student organ
izations were other aspects of his
platform that appealed to the BSM,
Perry said.
BSM officers decided to endorse
Frye because of her ideas about
including black students in home
coming activities, Perry said. Frye
talked with the BSM to research ideas
in her platform, he said.

Jackson said residence hall govern
ment's biggest problem is recruit
ment. "In terms of dorm government,
the biggest problem is finding good
people and getting good people for
those jobs so that the individual area
governments are stronger," she said.
Both Smith and Jackson said they
would monitor the effects of guaran-
the University add more emergency
telephones around campus.
Lewis said he would make several
changes to improve safety on campus.
He said residence halls should have
a safety service, such as a Granville
Towers escort system or a South
Campus escort. Also, the present
SAFE Escort system should be
improved, he said.
"People don't know the people
coming to get them," he said. SAFE
should issue a flier showing the faces
of the escorts with some information
about them, he said.
The University should establish
more emergency phones around
campus, he said. All students should
know the SAFE Escort phone
number, he said.
Lisa Frye, Suzie Saldi and Robert
D'Arruda, the candidates for CAA
president, faced questions about the
ticket distribution process and stu
dent seating in the Smith Center.
.D'Arruda said the current ticket
distribution method should be altered
by reducing the number of distribu
tion dates and eliminating ticket

exclusion for the homecoming activ

Tonya Blanks, BSM vice president,
said, "She had solid, practical ideas."
The officers praised the CAA's
efforts to include black students in
its activities, especially homecoming,
and said they would like to see that
interaction continue.
Although Sharon Kebschull is
running unopposed for DTH editor,
the BSM chose to support her. "It's
not an endorsement because there's
nobody else running," Perry said. "It's
just that she shows some good ideas."
Blanks said, "She's interested in
improving the way that minorities are
portrayed in the newspaper."

distribution on days like Super Bowl
Sunday. He also said the CAA should
post signs at the Smith Center to
inform students of the most recent
distribution time for students with
numbers marking their places in line
to line up for tickets.
Frye said the CAA has cut down
on ticket distribution dates as much
as it can. Completely random distri
bution was inefficient, she said,
because many students who got better
seats often did not come to the games.
"Fifty percent of the students who got
in block seating did not even attend
the games," she said.
Frye said she wants to improve
relations with the administration, but
the administration should listen to
student demands. "We need to be
completely organized to have a
boycott (of a basketball game)," she
said. "We have to be ready to react."
Saldi said she wants a compromise
between the number and the random
system distributions. She said the first

need to specify black or white," she
said. "The trend seems to be (to use
that description) only when it's
something negative. She seems to
agree that that needed to be worked
on.
BSM members would like to see
the new student body president
continue working to involve the BSM
in campus events, Perry said. "Kevin
(Martin, student body president) has
been pretty committed," he said. "I'd
like to see the next student body
president continue that kind of
commitment."
Student government should help
make students aware of the overall
difference in academic performance
