Student Body President-elect Brien
Lewis weathered the rain Monday to
hold his first Pit office hours, which
he used to make student government
applications available to interested
students.
Lewis promised during his cam
paign that he would keep regular Pit
office hours to be more accessible to
students.
Lewis, who will set formal hours
after his April 4 inauguration, said
he planned to be in the Pit about two
days a week for an hour or two
around lunchtime. He sat under the
awning from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Monday.

students so they will know who 1 am,

that I am approachable and students
can stop me and ask questions," he

The Department of University
Housing has proposed a 5 percent
hike in residence hall rental rates for
the 1989-90 academic year, Housing
Director Wayne Kuncl said Monday.
. Housing rates have increased every
year since 1983, Kuncl said. In the
past, the increases have been greater
than 5 percent because the housing
department had low renovation
budgets, he said. Recently, the
increases have been just enough to
match inflation, Kuncl said.
The proposed increase, which
ranges from S32 to $38 per semester
for each residence hall, will pay for
the operating cbsts'of fesidelice"rians,
Kuncl said. " ;

all weather conditions. "I don't want
people to give up on me because I'm
not going to give up on them."
He said he would always have a
specific purpose for being there, not
only to answer student's questions. "I
may have a briefing on a hot issue
on campus. IH probably always have
applications for students who are
interested in getting involved in
student government because student
government is always looking for
people who want to get involved."
Lewis also said he would hold a
forum in the Pit each month to
address current issues and to let
students know what is going on
around campus. "Well talk about
specific issues and have a general
report of the state of the campus. We
hope to be able to bring in admin
istrators to answer questions about
hot issues."
Lewis used his Pit hours Monday
to make executive branch, chancel
lor's committee and board applica
tions available to interested students.
President-elect Liz Jackson said she
would prefer not to raise the rates,
although she understands the need for
the proposed increase.
"I think a 5 percent increase is not
out of this world," she said. "But I
think there are ways the Department
of Housing could rearrange the
budget so we don't have a 5 percent
increase every year."
Students who cannot afford the
rate increase can cancel their housing
contract and get a return on their
deposit, Kuncl said.
The proposal will be presented to
the Housing Advisory Board some
time after March 20, Kuncl said.
After reviewing the proposal, the

to Donald Boulton, vice chancellor
and dean of student affairs.

Lewis has restructured the execu
tive branch so executive assistants will
act as ministers of affairs in six
departments, working with other
student volunteers on different pro
jects in their department. "There used
to be 20 to 25 executive assistants to
work in one area. Now they're thrown
together under one director so the
group won't be in limbo but can work
on other projects while they are
waiting for decisions to be made."
This new approach will make
student government more flexible
t and more efficient, Lewis said,
because clearer lines of communica-
tion will exist and people will be able
"to report to someone who can
delegate responsibility and know
about the issues and who to contact.
"Before, there were too many chiefs
and not enough Indians. People felt
they were on their own."

Boulton will have the option of
revising or changing the proposal
before it is presented to the vice
. chancellor of business and finance,
who will also be able to revise the
proposal, Kuncl said. It will then be
presented to Chancellor Paul Hardin
for his final approval, Kuncl said. s
Kuncl said he expects the proposal
to receive the final approval by the
end of the semester.
Residence halls are self-sufficient,
Kuncl said. All of their funding comes
from rent and fees paid for summer
use, he said.

The UNC administration must
improve efforts to recruit Native
American Indian students, faculty
and staff, according to a letter sent
to Chancellor Paul Hardin by Carol
ina Indian Circle members Thursday.
The letter, which was signed by
Carolina Indian Circle President
Julie Hunt, said the the large Indian
population in North Carolina is not
proportionally reflected in the
number of students, faculty and staff
at UNC.
CIA to hold ioteirvoews at UNC

The CIA will interview UNC law
students on campus at the end of
March, law school officials said
Monday, but members of anti-CIA
student groups said they don't yet
have plans to protest the recruitment
directly.
Members of the CIA Action Com

to prevent CIA recruitment on
campus since 1987 and have staged
protests resulting in several arrests.
But CIAAC member Joey Tem

Although teachers in North Carol
ina's public schools are underpaid
and overworked, UNC education
majors say the job means more to
them than just money.
Brian Devore, a senior physical
education major from Durham,
began his student teaching this
semester and says he absolutely loves
his job.
"I've always enjoyed P.E. . . . and
I've always been athletic, so I knew
I wanted to be a coach," Devore said.
"I not only enjoy coaching on a highly
skilled level, but 1 like to help those
who aren't so skilled. I just like being
with the kids."
As the recipient of a N.C. Teaching
Scholarship Loan, Devore must teach
in the state when he. graduates, but
he said the low salaries didn't bother
him much.

North Carolina has the largest
Native American population east of
the Mississippi River and the fifth
largest in the nation. North Carolina
has about 65,000 Native Americans
who live and work in the state, Hunt
said in the letter.
"This University represents North
Carolinians and cannot continue to
ignore such a large portion of this
state's population: the Native Amer

CIAAC's efforts this semester, Tem
pleton said.
Templeton said the groups do not
yet know if they will protest the
recruitment.
The committees believe the CIA is
a criminal organization that has no
right to recruit on the campus of a
state-supported university.
CIA officials will interview law
students for internship positions
available in the summer of 1990, said
Ronald Link, acting dean of the Law
School. ,
Students will be interviewed only

"I realized that was one of the
drawbacks," Devore said. "But you
have problems with any job you
take."
Although he said he looked for
ward to having teachers' pay
increased, he said the general attitude
of the public toward teachers must
change to attract more people into
the profession.
Many education majors consider
leaving the state to teach because of
the higher salaries Devore said. "You
go where you can get the most
money," he said.
"I'd like to stay in Wake County
or Chapel Hill," Devore said. "But

They will not be recruited to work
for the CIA's covert operations, he
said.
The interviews are merely a con

the CIA, Link said. "Under the

Link had no comment regarding
the possibility of student groups
